Motivation

Releases are drafted from this repo but published from a separate central workflow. This moves publishing here: merging the release PR publishes the drafted release once a maintainer approves it.

Changes

  • Add a Release workflow that runs when CHANGELOG.md changes on main, with a manual run and a dry run as a fallback
  • It runs only when a draft release matches the top CHANGELOG.md version, so ordinary changelog edits are skipped
  • Tests run without write access; publishing waits for approval on the release environment
  • The draft is pinned to the merged commit before it is published, so the tag lands on what was tested; Packagist picks the version up from the tag

How to test

  • Run the Release workflow manually with dry_run checked: detect and test pass, Publish is skipped
  • Merge the next release PR, approve the release deployment: the release is published with its tag on the merge commit and the version shows up on Packagist

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Release Automation
    • Added a release workflow that runs when the changelog changes on the default branch or can be started manually.
    • The workflow validates and tests the project before publishing a pending release. Manual dry runs run checks without publishing and do not require a pending release.
    • Runs from non-default branches are rejected, and push-triggered runs are skipped when no release is pending.

Walkthrough

The workflow runs on qualifying changelog pushes or manual dispatches. It checks release eligibility, validates eligible runs with PHP 8.4, and publishes the detected GitHub release unless the run is a dry run.

Changes: Release workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Triggers and release gating
.github/workflows/release.yml
Adds changelog push and manual triggers, a dry_run input, concurrency controls, and logic to require the default branch and decide whether a release run proceeds, fails, or skips.
Release validation and publishing
.github/workflows/release.yml
Adds a gated PHP 8.4 job that runs Composer validation, installation, and tests. A dependent job checks and publishes the detected release tag at the current commit unless dry_run is enabled.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 0f802

As written, the release workflow will not publish releases. The release PR push is skipped, and a real manual run fails. Fix the pending-release detection before relying on this workflow. A dry run still exercises detect and test.

the “Publish GitHub release” step to resolve the draft’s tag and fail if it
points to a commit other than github.sha. Allow the workflow to proceed when the
tag does not yet exist, and preserve the existing publish step.

detect runs with a read-only token, which can't see draft releases, so
resolve-pending-release now reports the newest CHANGELOG.md version as
pending until it has a published release. A real dispatch on a version
that is already released fails; the publish job's draft check confirms
the draft after approval.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Pin the privileged release actions.

Both actions run with contents: write, but master can change without a change to this workflow. An altered action could modify repository content or releases after approval. Pin both actions to reviewed commit SHAs. (docs.github.com)

Based on learnings, mutable refs can be retargeted, so security-sensitive workflows should prefer immutable commit SHAs.

github.ref_name is the short name, so a manual run started from a tag
named like the default branch passed the check and would build that
tag's commit. Comparing github.ref with refs/heads/<default branch>
accepts only the branch.
A dry run continues whether or not the top CHANGELOG.md version is
released, so it passed even when detection was wrong. Decide now logs
pending and dry_run, and a dry run on an already released version gets a
warning that it didn't exercise detection.
