fix(release): keep release bodies within GitHub's size limit - #5142
Finalize sets release body after the stable tag, api/apps/v1alpha1 tag and release-X.Y fast-forward already exist. Body that GitHub refuses fails the "Publish draft release" step at that point and leaves release a draft, and rc-to-stable image retag with cozy-installer chart publish never run. GitHub's web UI cut the v1.7.0-rc.2 changelog at about 125000 characters, v1.7.0 changelog is 259,026.
Release can now carry short hand-written docs/releasenotes/vX.Y.Z.md that becomes its body, changelog stays the full record. Finalize and update-releasenotes.yaml take release notes if they exist and are not blank, otherwise changelog.
Both hold the body to 100000 bytes. Bytes are never fewer than characters and the limit sits 25 percent under the cut seen in web UI. Exact GitHub limit and its answer to an oversized body don't matter.
Over the limit finalize publishes one-line link to the changelog on the tag, with a warning in the run log. v1.6.0 changelog is 97,186 bytes, so a next release near that size without release notes gets the link. Sync never writes the link, it warns and leaves published body alone, because tags.yaml backstop brings changelog to main without release notes and sync would replace them.
update-releasenotes.yaml also runs on pushes touching docs/releasenotes/v*.md. docs/release.md describes the rule, including that release notes have to reach main too.
Release without release notes and with changelog under 100000 bytes is published as before, byte for byte.
Tests
hack/release-changelog-behaviour.bats runs real script: of both workflow steps under node on fixture trees. Finalize cases are release notes over changelog, blank release notes, changelog only, neither file, 100000 bytes accepted and 100001 replaced by link, and 40000 three-byte characters (120000 bytes) counted as over. It also runs finalize over every shipped changelog, so each one at or under the limit publishes byte for byte. Sync makes the same choice, never updates release whose body would be over the limit, and leaves up-to-date and missing ones alone.
hack/release-changelog-contract.bats pins new trigger path and the 100000 constant.
Downstream repositories
No downstream repository is affected by this change
fix(release): a release can carry short docs/releasenotes/vX.Y.Z.md that is published as its GitHub release body, changelog stays the full record. Release body over 100000 bytes is published as a link to the full changelog on the tag, so publishing a release with very long changelog no longer fails after its tags exist, and the release notes sync leaves such a body alone.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Release Management
Release publication and subsequent updates now prefer non-empty versioned release notes, falling back to the changelog when needed.
If neither source contains content, the existing draft body is preserved. Bodies exceeding 100,000 bytes are replaced with a link to the tagged changelog during publication; updates are skipped.
Changes to either release notes or changelogs now trigger release-body synchronization.
Documentation
Updated release instructions to describe the content selection, size limit, and synchronization behavior.
Finalize sets the release body after the stable tag, the
api/apps/v1alpha1 tag and the release-X.Y fast-forward already exist,
so a body GitHub refuses fails the step with the release still a
draft, and the image retag and chart publish behind it never run.
GitHub's web UI cut the v1.7.0-rc.2 changelog at about 125000
characters, and the v1.7.0 changelog is 259,026.
A release can now carry a short hand-written docs/releasenotes/<tag>.md
that becomes its body, while the changelog stays the full record. Both
finalize and update-releasenotes take the release notes when they have
content and the changelog otherwise, and hold the body to 100000
bytes. Bytes are never fewer than characters, and the margin makes
GitHub's exact limit, and its answer to an oversized body, irrelevant.
Over the limit, finalize publishes a one-line link to the changelog on
the tag instead, and the sync leaves the published body alone: the
tags.yaml backstop brings a changelog to main without its release
notes, and the sync would otherwise replace them.
A release without release notes whose changelog is under the limit
still gets its changelog byte for byte.
Assisted-by: LLM
Signed-off-by: Myasnikov Daniil <[email protected]>
The finalize and synchronization workflows prefer nonblank release notes over changelogs. Both apply a 100,000-byte limit, with different handling for oversized content. Tests execute the workflow scripts against fixtures and check the selection, size limits, and synchronization triggers.

Summary
Published release body selection .github/workflows/pull-requests-release.yaml, docs/release.md, hack/release-changelog-behaviour.bats
The finalize workflow prefers nonblank release notes, falls back to a changelog, and leaves the draft body unchanged if neither is usable. Bodies over 100,000 UTF-8 bytes become links to the tagged changelog. Workflow tests cover candidate selection and byte limits.
Release body synchronization .github/workflows/update-releasenotes.yaml, docs/release.md, hack/release-changelog-behaviour.bats, hack/release-changelog-contract.bats
Changes to release notes or changelogs trigger synchronization. The workflow prefers nonblank release notes, falls back to the changelog, and skips updates with a warning when content exceeds 100,000 UTF-8 bytes. Tests check the workflow behavior and shared limit contract.

Suggested reviewers:lexfrei
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to b502a
Release notes that exist only on the release branch can be silently replaced by the changelog on the next sync, and an oversized notes file without a changelog yields a broken link in the release body. Resolve these before merge, or accept them knowingly given the documented requirement to also put notes on main.

Explanation
The title "fix(release): keep release bodies within GitHub's size limit" describes the main change: release-body selection and a 100,000-byte cap on published release bodies, which the PR implements across the finalize and update-releasenotes workflows, docs, and tests. It is specific and concise. It does not name the release-notes preference over the changelog, which is a secondary aspect of the same change, so it is a clear match rather than a complete one.

Link to a file that exists when the selected body is oversized.
The checklist allows a promote PR with release notes but no changelog. If those notes exceed 100,000 bytes, this branch publishes a link to the absent changelog instead of the available notes. Use sourcePath for the link when changelogPath does not exist, and cover that case in the finalize fixture. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

LGTM. The size cap is correct and well covered, and nothing here breaks a supported release path. I traced both github-script bodies through every branch, ran the two touched bats suites on the PR merged with current main, and checked live CI on the head (all green, including Unit & controller tests and Audit workflows).
Verified: in finalize, raw always matches sourcePath (set back-to-back before the break), so no branch publishes the wrong file and an over-limit body is never sent (it becomes the link); with no usable source the draft body is kept via ...(body ? {body} : {}). The 100000-byte cap sits safely under GitHub's 125000-character limit for ASCII and multibyte alike. The sync's over-limit branch continues before the body comparison, so it never writes a link and never disturbs an already-published release whose changelog is too long.

[MINOR] Curated release notes are overwritten by the full changelog on the normal release path
[MINOR] On the normal release path the curated docs/releasenotes/<tag>.md body gets replaced by the full changelog. finalize publishes the curated notes from the merge commit, but tags.yaml's backstop ports only docs/changelogs/<tag>.md to main (it has no notion of releasenotes). The push that lands the changelog on main fires this sync; notesPath is absent there, the ternary here falls back to the changelog, and for a changelog <=100000 bytes it PATCHes the body over the curated notes with no warning. That is exactly the band the feature targets (a changelog long enough to want a summary but still under the cap); for changelogs over the cap the notes survive (the sync continues), so the guard holds only where it is least needed. docs/release.md documents it as a manual "add the notes to main too" step, but nothing enforces it. Worth porting docs/releasenotes/v${VERSION}.md alongside the changelog in the backstop, or having the sync refuse to overwrite a body that is not the previous changelog.

[MINOR] Over-limit link always targets the changelog, chosen before the size check
[MINOR] The over-limit link always targets docs/changelogs/<tag>.md, selected before the size check in the candidate loop. If the oversized source is the releasenotes file and the changelog is absent (the "No changelog in this PR" case with hand-added notes), the link 404s and the "the full changelog is ..." text is false. The input is degenerate (a >100KB "short summary"), so this is low priority; moving the size check inside the candidate loop would close it cleanly.

[NIT] Test name over-promises; wc assertion is GNU-only
[NIT] This "without release notes ... or as the link over 100000 bytes" test never hits its link branch on the shipped fixtures (the largest changelog in the tree is ~97KB), so that half of the name rests on the sibling test's synthetic cases. Separately, the "($(wc -c < ...) bytes)" assertion in the sibling test depends on GNU wc (BSD/macOS wc -c left-pads the count), so the suite passes only on the ubuntu runner, not on a local macOS run. CI is unaffected; this is a dev-ergonomics nit.
## What this PR does
Backports become automatic. Fix merged to `main` with `fix` title, or
`security` for fix that comes through security advisory, reaches release
lines through batch that runs on Monday and Thursday, newest line first,
nobody requests, labels or opens backports by hand. Batch runs for two
newest lines with stable release (`released-lines` in policy block) and
every line branched after them that has no stable release yet: with 1.6
and 1.7 released, `release-1.8` created at `v1.8.0-rc.1` joins them, and
`v1.8.0` drops 1.6. Line counts as released once `vX.Y.Z` tag without
pre-release suffix exists on origin. Rules are in
`docs/release/backports.md`, `cmd/backport-batch` applies them,
`.github/workflows/backport-batch.yaml` runs it. Design is in
cozystack/community#114, merge shape of each original in
cozystack/community#119.
- `backport-batch run --line release-X.Y` takes PRs merged to `main`
since line branched (title and body read from merge commit) and skips
what rules exclude: other types and `deps`, breaking changes, platform
migrations, `targetVersion`, changed CRD documents, API changes that API
review gate calls sizeable (batch runs `internal/apigate` itself
whenever PR changes a file the gate parses:
`pkg/apiserver/apiserver.go`, an ApplicationDefinition, or YAML under
`packages/` or `internal/` naming `CustomResourceDefinition` or
`APIService`), and on older line what next newer line doesn't carry yet.
The rest goes onto `backport-batch/<line>-<date>` in merge order. PR
merged to `main` with merge commit goes as its own commits picked with
`cherry-pick -x --signoff`, so each keeps its author, message and
sign-offs and gets sign-off of whoever runs the batch (with `-m 1`
author was whoever merged on `main`), merges of `main` into PR branch
are left out, and merge commit joins them to the batch with original's
merge message and `Backported-from:` trailer. Squash-merged PR goes as
one pick. Conflict on any commit takes branch back to where it was
before that original, it's listed with the commit that failed, run goes
on. `--push` opens or updates draft PR, `--continue` carries on open
batch PR as fast-forward only, PR body it didn't write is never
rewritten. Same-day run over batch branch whose PR never got opened
refuses and names `run --line <line> --onto <head> --push`, which
continues it. Run or `--defer` that resets local batch branch over
commits only it has prints `git branch` command that restores them.
- `run --defer <N> --reason <why>` takes original out of open batch
(usually the one failing CI is pinned on). It rebuilds branch replaying
batch unit by unit without it, so merges and pushed conflict resolutions
keep their shape, and only this rebuild pushes with
`--force-with-lease`. Deferred original comes back in next batch.
- Line carries something only if its own history shows it: picks whose
`-x` line, the one git appends, names PR's merge commit or every commit
of its own, or pick that changes nothing. Picked commits keep their
messages and batch merge carries PR body, so text in them (`-x` lines,
`Backported-from:`, `Backport of #N`) counts only on commits from before
`batch-only` day in policy block, where it records old hand backports
and batches. Otherwise text in a merged fix could mark another fix as
already backported, and it would never reach the line. PR against line
never counts. Open batch PR counts only from this repo and from author
with write access or the batch's own bot (`BACKPORT_BATCH_BOT`, exact
login, `cozystack-ci[bot]` when unset, so maintainer's run by hand
continues scheduled batch instead of opening second one), and is read
the same way. Actions bot isn't trusted anymore, any workflow token
writes as it.
- Any failed GitHub API or git call stops the run with message naming
the call, no retries. Failed permission lookup used to count batch PR
out as look-alike, so `--continue` opened second batch PR and `notify`
posted second comment; now `run`, `check`, `verify` and `notify` exit 2
and write nothing.
- Policy applies fully from `release-1.7`. `release-1.6` takes only
fixes merged from 2026-10-26, older ones need `backport/include`. Start
days are in `backport-policy` block on the policy page, test keeps page
and code in sync.
- `backport-batch check --cut` replaces `backport-audit` as gate before
patch cut and before every rc after the first, it also fails while a fix
is only on open batch PR. Plain `check`, which scheduled run uses, lets
those through. `backport-batch fold` checks conflict resolution in the
same shape: merge on batch head whose second parent is straight line of
picks of PR's own commits in order, each with its `-x`, only PR's files
(one pick for squash). `backport-batch verify` holds every original on
batch to that shape, clean picks included, and `pr-labeler.yaml` runs it
on every push to batch PR: `pull_request_target` so it reaches
`release-*`, tool built from `main`, batch head fetched as data,
read-only token. Batch PR body says per original how many commits it
brought and which picks differ from their commits. `backport-batch
notify` reports batch that is still open from previous run and deferred
conflicts in one comment on batch PR, edited in place, with
`BACKPORT_ALERT_TEAM` mention.
- `hack/backport-batch-scheduled.sh` is what the workflow runs and
maintainer can run by hand (`--dry-run` changes nothing on GitHub): for
each line newest first `run --continue --push`, `check`, `notify`. It
pushes with `BACKPORT_BATCH_TOKEN` only and fails without it, never
`GITHUB_TOKEN`, because its pushes don't start CI. Workflow runs it as
cozystack-ci App: it mints token for this repo only with Contents and
Pull requests write, passes it as `BACKPORT_BATCH_TOKEN`, commits as
`cozystack-ci[bot]`, and sets `BACKPORT_BATCH_BOT` so the tool trusts
that bot's batch PR and comment. Job timeout is 30 minutes, under the
token's hour.
- App has no workflows permission, so workflow runs the script with
`--no-workflow-files`: original that changes `.github/workflows/` isn't
picked and waits on batch PR for maintainer, listed with its workflow
files in body and in notify comment. It's never a conflict. `check`
warns about it while it waits and `check --cut` fails on it. Maintainer
brings it over with own token by `run --continue --push` without the
flag, or takes it out with `--defer`.
- Deferred conflicts and failed batch CI wait for maintainer. `notify`
keeps one comment on batch PR listing stalled batch, conflicts and
workflow changes, mentioning `BACKPORT_ALERT_TEAM` (team or login) when
it's set. Failed batch CI isn't in the comment, it shows on batch PR
checks, and `check --cut` fails while batch is unmerged.
- Two steps that need judgement (resolve conflict, pin failed CI on
original and defer it) are written as runbooks in
`docs/release/backport-tasks/`: inputs, the only allowed output, check
it must pass before push, what never to do.
- `backport/include` and `backport/skip` let maintainer override rules
for single PR, they are new `backport/` category in `labels.yml`. Skip
wins over include, if open batch already picked it `--defer` takes it
out.
- Text written by other people (titles, release notes, reasons, file
names) goes to batch PR body only inside code spans or release-note
block, control, bidi and zero-width characters are dropped, file names
in deferred block included, git args go after `--end-of-options`, no
shell.
- Removed: `cmd/backport-audit`, `backport.yaml`, `kind/backport` and
`kind/backport-previous` labels with aliases and stale exemption,
trailer-check exemption for bot branches. `Commit trailers` job exempts
only `backport-batch/*` branches of this repo, changelog instructions
read originals from batch commits. Exemption lives in main's
`pre-commit.yml`, and batch PR runs its line's copy: `release-1.7` has
its own copy that exempts only old `backport-<pr>-to-<branch>` branches,
`release-1.6` has no such job. So on `release-1.7` picked commit with
bad trailer fails batch CI until line gets main's copy.
- `hack/close-manual-backport.sh` runs from `pr-labeler.yaml` on
`opened` and closes PR against `release-*` from outside contributor
(association contributor, first-time contributor or none, permission
read or none). Owners, members, collaborators, anyone with triage or
more and bots are left alone. When GitHub's answer on author's
permission can't be read, it closes nothing and fails the job naming the
failed read. Maintainer keeps release-only fix by reopening it.
Release-only PRs are occasional and opened by maintainers, for fix with
no counterpart on `main`, or one that on `main` came inside another PR
or was written for `main`; if its counterpart on `main` is a fix the
batch would take, the batch skips it once picking it changes nothing on
the line, otherwise maintainer labels it `backport/skip`.
- `docs/release.md` is split into pages under `docs/release/`, PR
template doesn't ask for `kind/backport` anymore. `security` type is
added to commit format in `docs/agents/contributing.md`, PR template,
Gemini review guide and labeler's list (labeler maps no `kind/*` to it,
`labels.yml` has no fitting one).
- `SECURITY.md`, `docs/security/incident-response.md` and
`GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md` now say two latest minor releases are
supported, same window the batch runs for, and link the backport policy
for which fixes go there.
Dry runs without push, on 2026-11-06, with `--no-workflow-files` as the
workflow runs it: `lines` gives `release-1.7` and `release-1.6`. On
`release-1.7` batch picks 12 fixes, defers 3 conflicts (#4756, #4867,
#5082), leaves #4888 and #4971 to a maintainer because they change
workflows, and skips 49. On `release-1.6` it picks #5088, defers 3
conflicts (#5071, #5086, #5087), leaves #5142 to a maintainer, and skips
590. `verify` passes both batches.
Setup after merge: no new secret. Batch runs as cozystack-ci App from
existing `COZYSTACK_CI_APP_ID` and `COZYSTACK_CI_PRIVATE_KEY`, job fails
when either is missing. App's installation already has Contents and Pull
requests write on all org repos, and no Workflows is needed: PRs that
change `.github/workflows/` wait for maintainer, who brings them over
with own token as "Changes to workflows" in `docs/release/backports.md`
says. Today that's #4888 and #4971 on `release-1.7` and #5142 on
`release-1.6`. Set `BACKPORT_ALERT_TEAM` to a team or a login (for
example `cozystack/maintainers`): unset, batch comment mentions nobody
and nobody is notified. Once this PR is merged, `Backport batch shape`
can be required check in the release lines ruleset (`release-*`
excluding `release-*.*.*`), with "Do not require status checks on
creation" on, because `cut-prerelease.yaml` creates `release-X.Y` by
push. `PR Auto-Label` with both new jobs runs on `pull_request_target`,
so it needs #5135 sorted before 2026-12-02. `kind/backport*` labels have
to be deleted by hand, label sync doesn't delete.
### Screenshots
Not a UI change.
### Downstream repositories
cozystack/community `contributors/README.md` lists commit types, so it
needs `security` too, it has no backport label text. Website has no
backport label instructions, and its links to `docs/release.md` carry no
anchor, the page stays as index. Trigger map lists commit convention
change for cozystack/ccp: this adds `security` type, but not message
format or trailer, and `package-bump` writes only `chore(...)` commits
and restates the trailer, so nothing changes there.

### Release note
```release-note
feat(release): backports are automatic. Fixes merged to main with fix or security title reach release lines through a batch built by cmd/backport-batch every Monday and Thursday, by the rules in docs/release/backports.md. The batch runs for the two newest lines with a stable release and for a line in its rc window: the release-X.Y branch the first rc creates joins at once, and its vX.Y.0 drops the oldest line. Features, chores, docs, dependency bumps, breaking changes, migrations, CRDs and API changes that the API review gate calls sizeable wait for the next minor. The policy applies fully from release-1.7, release-1.6 takes only fixes merged from 2026-10-26. Each original reaches the line as its own commits under a merge commit, keeping their authors and sign-offs. Maintainers override the rules for single PR with backport/include and backport/skip labels and take an original out of a batch with backport-batch run --defer. backport-batch check replaces backport-audit as the gate before a patch release and before a later rc. The label-driven backport workflow and kind/backport labels are removed. Backport PR opened by hand against a release branch by author with read access or less is closed automatically. The scheduled batch runs as the cozystack-ci App and needs no secret of its own; a fix that changes .github/workflows waits on the batch pull request for a maintainer, since the App may not push workflow changes. Release documentation now lives in one page per topic under docs/release/.
```
## What this PR does
Backports to `release-1.7` from `main`, picked by the rules of the
[backport
policy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/docs/release/backports.md)
in merge order. A merged pull request comes as its own commits, picked
with `git cherry-pick -x` so each keeps its author, message and
sign-offs, and a merge commit that carries the original's merge message
with a `Backported-from:` trailer naming it; a squash-merged one comes
as one pick. `backport-batch verify` checks that shape. A pick listed as
changed differs from the commit it came from; `git range-diff
<merge>^1..<merge>^2 <batch merge>^1..<batch merge>^2` shows how. A
conflict or a failing check here is a [backport
task](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/docs/release/backport-tasks/README.md).

### Release note
```release-note
fix(backupstrategy-controller): the ClickHouse (Altinity) and RabbitMQ backup strategy Pods now run a dedicated `backup-http-client` image (alpine + curl + jq + ca-certificates, non-root, ~7 MB) instead of the 349 MB `platform-migrations` image. Air-gapped mirrors need the new `ghcr.io/cozystack/cozystack/backup-http-client` repository.
fix(e2e): a chainsaw assert in the e2e suites keeps polling through a transient API error such as an etcd leader change, instead of failing the suite long before its timeout.
fix(ci): use GITHUB_TOKEN to start the initial packages build when freezing a release line
fix(etcd): the tenant etcd alert etcdHighNumberOfFailedGRPCRequests now counts only the gRPC codes that the etcd mixin and the platform copy of the alert count, so the Canceled watch streams of a Kubernetes API server that stops no longer fire it on every etcd member.
fix(tcp-balancer): HAProxy now takes its fd and thread caps from the replica's memory and CPU limits instead of the node, so a t1.nano balancer is no longer OOMKilled on nodes with many CPUs. maxconn follows the memory limit at about 16 connections per MiB, 2035 on t1.nano, and the pods roll once on upgrade.
fix(kubernetes): the Proxmox cloud-controller-manager now runs v0.16.1, and the Proxmox CCM and CSI driver images are pinned by digest. The v0.15.0 tag referenced before was re-pushed upstream to a build that panics on start, which left every new Proxmox worker with the uninitialized taint.
fix(marketplace): a tapped repository is pinned to a digest instead of following a mutable tag, so moving the tag upstream no longer changes what runs in the cluster; connect accepts oci://...@sha256:... and an optional keyless cosign verify policy (anchored to an exact identity and preserved across re-connects), and with verify flags the CLI verifies the signature and pins the verified digest at tap time.
fix(dashboard): tenant name in the tenant list links to its detail page now (where Delete is), and top level tenants get their Edit button back.
fix(cilium): the IPAM migration hook no longer fails with "Argument list too long" on clusters with more than a few nodes, which blocked the cilium upgrade and every package that depends on networking.
fix(kubernetes): the OIDC bootstrap Job no longer fails to start for a tenant cluster with about 240 or more oidc.users, the bindings now come from a ConfigMap the Job mounts.
fix(clickhouse): a RestoreJob now restores the archive its Backup was taken as, not the newest one. New Backups record the archive name, Backups taken before this release are restored best effort from the newest archive stamped no later than their takenAt, with a warning in the restore pod log. A ClickHouse BackupJob created again under a name whose Backup still exists now fails instead of reporting that Backup as its result.
fix(backups): the backup controller now re-renders the Velero BSL, the default backup strategies and the platform bucket's credentials Secret when their S3 endpoint is stale, so after the platform bucket's BucketAccess is re-granted for a new publishing.host, backups move to the new endpoint without forcing releases by hand.
fix(securitygroups): a SecurityGroup with attachments and no rules no longer leaves an invalid CiliumNetworkPolicy behind; its backing policy is now accepted by Cilium and still allows or denies nothing.
fix(postgres): the init script renders the declared databases in a stable order, so an upgrade that leaves the databases unchanged no longer rewrites the init-script Secret.
fix(mariadb-operator): the MariaDB operator now uses the platform's networking.clusterDomain instead of a hard-coded cozy.local, so replication and User/Database/Grant reconciliation work on clusters with a non-default cluster domain.
fix(redis): an instance with `replicas: 1` now runs one Sentinel instead of three, without a Sentinel PodDisruptionBudget; on upgrade, the PDB the operator created earlier is deleted. Instances with two replicas or more are unchanged.
fix(lineage, kubernetes): the virt-launcher pods of Kubernetes worker nodes are now resolved to their Kubernetes application and marked as managed by Cozystack, so a SecurityGroup attached to a Kubernetes cluster now applies to its worker nodes, not only to its control plane.
fix(api): tenant quota admission now counts the parent pool's usage of extended resources and hugepages, so a child tenant can no longer get a share the parent has already used. After upgrading, updates to existing tenants may be rejected if their quota for these resources exceeds the parent's remaining budget. This includes updates that leave the quota unchanged.
fix(postgres): a Postgres BackupJob now fails as soon as its CloudNativePG Backup fails, with the recorded error, instead of after 30 minutes, and a BackupJob waiting on a CloudNativePG Backup reports a WaitingForCNPGBackup condition with the Backup's phase.
fix(postgres): databases now refuses the PostgreSQL system databases postgres, template0 and template1, and the init job never runs DROP DATABASE on them. A system database a previous version took over is handed back to the superuser on the next upgrade (event trigger removed, ownership and public schema restored, its <db>_admin and <db>_readonly roles dropped). A release that declares one of them must remove the entry before upgrading.
fix(mariadb): a MariaDB BackupJob or RestoreJob whose operator Job failed now ends Failed instead of Succeeded, and a failed backup no longer creates a Ready Backup without an archive. Backups created by failed runs before this fix are not removed; restoring from one can fail or select another dump from the shared prefix.
fix(kubernetes, monitoring): the vmagent of tenant Kubernetes clusters now writes to the tenant's vminsert and labels series with the owning tenant instead of `cozy-monitoring`. Previously no tenant cluster metric reached the tenant's Monitoring.
```

### Release note
```release-note
fix(seaweedfs): bucket users granted together could get S3 keys that never work (403 InvalidAccessKeyId). COSI driver is bumped to v0.4.0, which writes each grant to per-identity IAM file.
```
…n code their line lacks (#5269)
## What this PR does
Stacked on #5264, that one merges first.
Clean cherry-pick doesn't mean the original landed. On release-1.6 the
batch carried a fix whose two deletions hit files the line never had, so
only its test arrived. Other originals conflicted on every run because
they change code that never reaches the line. Batch now tells these
cases apart instead of picking half a fix or retrying a conflict nobody
can resolve.
- Every file an original modifies or deletes is checked at its
counterpart on the line, renames followed on both sides. If part of the
original has no effect there (change to a file the line lacks, deletion
of a file it never had, deleted file the unit keeps), the original is
parked as partial and its release note stays out. A file that already
matches what the original makes counts as there (same blob, binary too,
or clean `git merge-file`). This runs in the picker, `fold`, `verify`
and over units already on the open batch, so such a unit fails `check
--cut` whatever its label until `run --defer` takes it out.
- Pick that differs from its original keeps its release note under
"Check these notes" with a `git range-diff` command to compare, record
and report mark it `changed`.
- Run names what an original builds on that the line lacks: the commit
on `main` that added a file the fix modifies or deletes, and blame of
removed lines whose text is still missing on the line. Generated files
and generated keys of ApplicationDefinitions are skipped. Lines a fix
only adds are not checked, a dependency that lives only there still
needs `--drop`.
- If a prerequisite never reaches the line (`feat`, direct push,
excluded or itself parked) the original is parked and not tried. If it
is still to come, the original waits for it and is retried later.
Prerequisites the line or open batch already carry, or this run picked,
count as there. `run`, `check` and record-only commands decide in the
same order. On scheduled run a workflow original whose only missing
dependency is in tests or docs waits for a maintainer instead of
parking. `backport/include` lifts neither park, wait nor partial.
- `notify` announces each park once on the open batch and marks it in
the record, nothing is announced while no batch is open.
Record moves to version 3 and report to format 2, format 1 reports still
read. I ran the new tool next to the previous one without `--push` on
today's history. On release-1.7 nothing changes category and `check`
prints the same. On release-1.6 #5071 is parked on the two features it
builds on, #5088 already on the open batch now fails the cut as a
partial unit, and #5142 on scheduled run still waits for a maintainer
with a note that only its tests depend on what 1.6 lacks. Rule 6 holds
twelve originals on 1.6 right now, run over them directly flags the
seven that change code 1.6 never got and none of the other five.
Detection adds under 2 s per line.
After this merges, CI on the open 1.6 batch goes red at its next push
since `verify` refuses #5088 there. `run --line release-1.6 --defer 5088
--reason ... --push` takes it out.

### Release note
```release-note
feat(release): backport batch holds back a pick that applies only part of its original and fails the cut on such unit already on a batch, sets apart the note of a changed pick, parks an original that builds on code its line never gets, waits for one whose prerequisite is still to come, and announces each park once.
```

<!-- coderabbit-ai-generated:v1 -->
## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Backport batches now identify partial picks and missing prerequisites,
and can park affected originals or leave them waiting.
* Batch reports and notifications provide details about parked, partial,
changed, and waiting picks.
* Release notes for picks that differ from their originals are set apart
for review.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Verification, folding, and batch checks reject picks that omit effects
from the original; renamed paths are supported.
* **Documentation**
* Updated backport guidance to explain parking, prerequisites, partial
picks, and release-note checks.

…ne, and hold one whose dependency is pending
On 1.6, the fix in cozystack#5071 conflicts on every run: it modifies files
that the feat in cozystack#3940 added on main, and that feat never reaches the
line. The fix in cozystack#5082 builds on cozystack#5071 and on code that never comes
either. Trying them on each run says nothing a maintainer can act on,
and a conflict reads as work to do.
Edges come from the dependencies the previous commit reads. One whose
prerequisite the line or the open batch carries, whatever its rule or
label, that this run picked or found empty, or whose evidence is
present at the branch head once earlier picks moved it, is satisfied
and dropped first. A direct push, an original rules 2-4, the start, a
skip label or a drop keep out, or one itself parked never comes and
parks the original. A prerequisite still to come (a conflict, a
deferral, a workflow wait, rule 6) holds it as deferred{needs}, the
strongest kind deciding: missing, workflow, deferred, rule 6; a chain
inherits.
run, check and the metadata operations share one order: partial unit
on the batch, a direct reason, an unpicked partial, the workflow
exception, a dependency park, a wait, then the original's own state.
In the scheduled mode a workflow original whose remaining
never-dependencies are only tests or docs waits for a maintainer
instead of parking, which is the case of the release fix in cozystack#5142.
check takes the mode the open record saved, and the scheduled one
with no batch open, where a closed record's workflow waits wait on
nothing any more and the original is judged as the scheduled run
judges it. check and the record-only operations keep a partial park
the open record holds while the batch head still shows it, since only
the run's picker sees it after the picks before it. Records refuse
waits and parks that form cycles, point at later merges or contradict
each other. notify lists a wait after what decides it, from the
record alone. backport/include lifts neither park nor wait.

What this PR does
Finalize sets release body after the stable tag,
api/apps/v1alpha1tag andrelease-X.Yfast-forward already exist. Body that GitHub refuses fails the "Publish draft release" step at that point and leaves release a draft, and rc-to-stable image retag withcozy-installerchart publish never run. GitHub's web UI cut the v1.7.0-rc.2 changelog at about 125000 characters, v1.7.0 changelog is 259,026.Release can now carry short hand-written
docs/releasenotes/vX.Y.Z.mdthat becomes its body, changelog stays the full record. Finalize andupdate-releasenotes.yamltake release notes if they exist and are not blank, otherwise changelog.Both hold the body to 100000 bytes. Bytes are never fewer than characters and the limit sits 25 percent under the cut seen in web UI. Exact GitHub limit and its answer to an oversized body don't matter.
Over the limit finalize publishes one-line link to the changelog on the tag, with a warning in the run log. v1.6.0 changelog is 97,186 bytes, so a next release near that size without release notes gets the link. Sync never writes the link, it warns and leaves published body alone, because
tags.yamlbackstop brings changelog tomainwithout release notes and sync would replace them.update-releasenotes.yamlalso runs on pushes touchingdocs/releasenotes/v*.md.docs/release.mddescribes the rule, including that release notes have to reachmaintoo.Release without release notes and with changelog under 100000 bytes is published as before, byte for byte.
Tests
hack/release-changelog-behaviour.batsruns realscript:of both workflow steps under node on fixture trees. Finalize cases are release notes over changelog, blank release notes, changelog only, neither file, 100000 bytes accepted and 100001 replaced by link, and 40000 three-byte characters (120000 bytes) counted as over. It also runs finalize over every shipped changelog, so each one at or under the limit publishes byte for byte. Sync makes the same choice, never updates release whose body would be over the limit, and leaves up-to-date and missing ones alone.hack/release-changelog-contract.batspins new trigger path and the 100000 constant.Downstream repositories
