[Docs] Add release documentation PR step by taltas · Pull Request #1786 · Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code

taltas · 2026-09-25T19:28:32Z

Summary

Add the final stable release-command step to create or reuse a separate Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code-Docs pull request after publication.
Require release notes, navigation registration, review and updates for relevant canonical evergreen documentation, and synchronization of the docs package version.
This PR now changes only .roo/commands/release.md; it does not add contract-test coverage.

Safety

Runs only after confirmed marketplace publication for the exact stable tag and after the release PR enters the merge queue.
Requires local GitHub authentication and verified access; it does not assume cross-repository GITHUB_TOKEN access.
Requires a clean, verified Zoo-Code-Docs checkout based on origin/main, updated only by fast-forward.
Handles reruns idempotently by validating merged, open, and branch-only prior attempts.
Forbids force pushes and auto-merge, and stops on remote races or ambiguous state.
Explicitly reports partial failure after publication with the failed checkpoint and safe recovery state, without treating docs failure as a rollback of the published extension.

Validation

pnpm exec prettier --check .roo/commands/release.md — passed.
git diff --check — passed.
Final diff against origin/main verified as exactly .roo/commands/release.md.
Commit hook pnpm lint — 11 tasks passed.
Push hook pnpm check-types — 11 tasks passed.

No changeset or changelog was added per repository policy.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

Documentation
- Stable extension releases now include a separate documentation pull request with a versioned update note, updated indexes, coverage for shipped changes, and synchronized package-version information.
- The pull request is opened only after the stable release and its merge-queue checks succeed. Documentation and release checks run before it is opened; failures include recovery details and confirm the extension is already published.
- This applies to stable extension releases, not nightly, CLI, npm, or types releases.

Walkthrough

The release command adds a stable-release-only process to prepare and open a separate documentation PR. It defines release eligibility, checkout and branch safeguards, required documentation updates and checks, and failure and completion reporting.

Changes

Stable release documentation handoff

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Release gate and safe checkout `.roo/commands/release.md`	The command gates the handoff on stable-release evidence and defines authentication, checkout, branch, and PR checks.
Documentation update and PR validation `.roo/commands/release.md`	The command specifies release-note and navigation updates, shipped-PR impact analysis, package-version synchronization, validation checks, and a separate docs PR without auto-merge.
Failure and release reporting `.roo/commands/release.md`	The command defines the failure report for docs work and the release, documentation, synchronization, and validation details required in the final report.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to beb12

The documentation handoff includes explicit safeguards and recovery guidance. No merge-blocking issue is established, so the change appears ready to merge after ordinary checks.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to beb12

The changed surface does not map to a changed system, dependency edge, entrypoint, or external dependency.

Review details

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in .roo/commands/release.md: Adds a final docs-repository PR step for stable releases only, gated on successful publication of the exact stable tag, an existing GitHub release, and the release PR entering the merge queue. The docs work and final report retain the specified changelog, PR inventory, release, workflow, timestamp, and merge-queue evidence.
observed — Modified behavior in .roo/commands/release.md: Specifies authentication and push-permission checks and a sibling-checkout preference with a clean temporary-clone fallback. Existing checkouts must be clean, use the expected repository and main branch, and fast-forward only to origin/main; the process must not stash, reset, or change remotes.
observed — Modified behavior in .roo/commands/release.md: Defines deterministic branch and PR idempotency checks, including repository, base, head, history, and content validation. Matching merged or open work may be completed or reused when validated; closed-unmerged PRs, divergence, unexpected commits, version conflicts, and ambiguous states require aborting. Blind force-pushes are prohibited, remote races stop the process, and a newer docs package version must not be downgraded.
observed — Modified behavior in .roo/commands/release.md: Requires synchronizing the docs package version with the prescribed pnpm command without creating a tag or changing the lockfile, and forbids downgrading a newer version. Requires a versioned release note, newest-first index and sidebar registration, and a per-shipped-PR impact matrix covering user-visible changes and documenting implementation-only exclusions or no-change rationale.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The PR adds a concrete /release workflow for opening a separate docs PR, including stable-tag gating, release-type exclusions, branch/idempotency safety, abort conditions, version synchronization, validation, and partial-failure reporting in .roo/commands/release.md lines 114-168. The command content is runtime behavior because RunSlashCommandTool appends loaded command content to the tool result. The authoritative PR range changes only that Markdown file; it adds no focused test. Existing command tests cover generic loading, frontmatter parsing, and generic slash-command execution, and no test asserts the actual release command or its new positive and negative safety branches.

Resolution

Add focused coverage at the command-content contract layer for the actual .roo/commands/release.md. Cover the stable publication and merge-queue preconditions, excluded release types, abort-on-unsafe-state cases, no-auto-merge rule, required docs validation, and the partial-failure report. Keep the test focused on the user-visible release-command contract rather than generic command loading.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The changed release procedure creates a temporary docs checkout at .roo/commands/release.md:122 but defines no cleanup path. If the release step is cancelled or fails after cloning, the temporary checkout can remain on disk and accumulate across retries. The other new instructions cover branch and PR reuse, but they do not remove this filesystem resource.

Resolution

Define ownership and cleanup for the fallback checkout. Create it with a tracked temporary-directory variable and remove it in a success, failure, and cancellation/finally path after recording the recovery details. If the checkout must survive for recovery, use an explicitly user-owned persistent path instead of calling it temporary and document its cleanup responsibility.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the implementation, safety controls, validation steps, and documentation impact. It does not include the required Related GitHub Issue section or completed pre-submission checklist, and it provides no approved issue number.
