[XxdpavelxX]

Ticket: https://consensyssoftware.atlassian.net/browse/INFRA-3188
Test stable sync branch: https://github.com/consensys-test/metamask-mobile-test-workflow/actions/runs/20148777729/job/57923961348, consensys-test/metamask-mobile-test-workflow#174

Note

Add a composite GitHub Action and script to auto-create PRs syncing stable into active release/X.Y.Z branches after a release merge.

• CI/GitHub Actions
  • New composite action /.github/actions/release-branch-sync/action.yml:
    • Inputs for merged release branch, token, and tools repo/ref.
    • Checks out repo and tools, sets git user, runs sync script.
• Scripts
  • New /.github/scripts/release-branch-sync.sh:
    • Detects active release branches via open PR titles matching release: X.Y.Z.
    • Skips invalid/older/merged/nonexistent branches and those already up-to-date or with existing sync PRs.
    • Creates stable-sync-release-X.Y.Z branches from origin/stable, pushes, and opens PRs into corresponding release/X.Y.Z branches.
    • Logs summary of created/skipped/failed operations.

Bug: Missing base branch filter when finding release PRs

The get_active_release_branches() function queries for PRs with titles matching "release: X.Y.Z" but doesn't filter by base branch. Release PRs merge release branches INTO stable, so the query at gh pr list is missing --base stable. This could incorrectly identify PRs targeting other branches (like main) as active release PRs if they happen to have a matching title format. Other scripts in the repository like get-release-timelines.sh correctly use --base stable when querying for release PRs.

Do we want this to be metamaskbot?

You're right, these are just used for commit metadata, but let me update it to metamaskbot like our other workflows. Updated
