Summary by CodeRabbit

• Release Management
  • Releases now use consistent version-based names and tags, with changes grouped and formatted in the changelog.
  • CVE references are linked in release notes, and selected labels are excluded from release entries.
  • Version publishing validates the version and draft release before publishing, and prevents reuse of an existing tag.

Walkthrough

This pull request adds Release Drafter configuration and a workflow to prepare draft releases. It also adds a manually triggered workflow that validates a version, creates a tag, and publishes the draft release.

Changes: Release Automation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Draft release setup .github/release-drafter.yml, .github/workflows/release-drafter.yml	Configures release names, tags, changelog entries, label categories, and exclusions. The workflow runs on pushes to main or master and on closed pull requests.
Version validation and draft selection .github/workflows/version-release.yml	The manual workflow validates the version, rejects an existing tag, and requires exactly one draft release.
Tag and publish release .github/workflows/version-release.yml	The workflow creates and pushes an annotated tag, publishes the selected draft, and records the version and job status in the workflow summary.

Priority: Normal

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

Merge Risk: Low · up to 80788

The new release workflows are mostly sound, but a manual release run from the wrong branch could tag the wrong commit. A failed publish can also leave a tag that blocks a plain retry. Both are manual and recoverable, so this is mergeable with owner awareness; the branch restriction and tag-recovery handling are worth addressing soon.

Pin the actions that run the release job.

actions/checkout@v4 and both actions/github-script@v7 steps use mutable refs in a job with release-write access. Pin each action to a reviewed, full commit SHA so a retargeted tag cannot change the code that runs during publication.

Reduce pull-request permission to read.

Release Drafter v6 requires pull-requests: write only for autolabeling. This configuration has no autolabeler rules, but Release Drafter still requires at least pull-requests: read to read pull requests for the draft.

A job-level permission block is not required by this repository, and moving contents: write to the only job does not change its effective permission.

Suggested permission change

 permissions:
     contents: write
-    pull-requests: write

Resolve feature versions before naming drafts.

The feature, enhancement, and feat labels only classify changelog entries. Without a version-resolver, those labels do not request a minor increment. A feature release can therefore receive a patch-version draft name and tag. Map feature labels to minor, and set a fallback for other changes. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Check out the intended release branch before creating the tag.

An operator can dispatch this workflow on a branch other than the default branch. Checkout then selects that branch, and Line 80 tags its commit while the job publishes the repository's sole draft. A release can consequently point to code outside the branch used to draft its changes. Restrict dispatch to the intended release branch and check out that branch explicitly. (docs.github.com)

Make tag creation recoverable when publication fails.

The job pushes the tag before updateRelease succeeds. If the API call fails or the selected draft stops being a draft, the remote tag remains; the existing-tag check then rejects a retry. Add a controlled rollback for a tag created by this run, or make retries recognise and reuse that tag. (docs.github.com)

Keep the published tag consistent with the draft body.

The version check accepts any unused semantic-version tag, but Release Drafter has already expanded $RESOLVED_VERSION into the draft body and its Full Changelog link. If the operator enters a different version, updateRelease changes the tag and name but retains a link to the old proposed tag. Reject a version that differs from the selected draft, or update the body before publication. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
