fix(release): stop dev from carrying a version behind its own releases - #2739
Merged
Merged
Conversation
dev accumulated 254 commits without touching package.json, so its version
string (2.32.1-preview.20260825) ended up BEHIND the published latest dist-tag
(2.33.0) once v2.33.0 was cut from main. One stale line, two failure modes:
- assertChannelVersionMovesForward refuses the string as a channel
regression, so a release cut from this tree cannot publish at all.
- merging dev into main resolves package.json to main's side, yielding a tree
that claims to be the already-published 2.33.0 - a silent duplicate rather
than a loud failure.
2.34.0 is the target: npm returns E404 for it, no v2.34.0 tag exists, and it
moves latest forward. Minor rather than patch follows the precedent in
32529c2 - the range carries new providers, new config surfaces, GUI work and
adapter contract changes, not only fixes.
The regression test is the part that lasts. 32529c2 repaired this same
condition by hand and nothing has enforced it since. tests/release-version-line
asserts the in-tree version is strictly ahead of the highest local release tag,
and was driven red against the exact string dev carried before this commit. It
reads local tags rather than the npm registry so it needs no network and no edit
per release, and reports nothing when no tags are present, because
actions/checkout fetches none by default and an empty set cannot prove a
regression.
It imports compareReleaseTags from scripts/release-notes rather than
scripts/release: the latter parses process.argv and calls process.exit at module
scope, so importing it from a test kills the runner.
This does not publish, tag, or promote. scripts/release.ts still refuses to run
anywhere but main/preview.

✅ Deterministic PR hygiene checks passed. |
… in CI An adversarial review of the first cut found two ways the new check was weaker than it looked, and both are fixed here. CI never fetched tags. actions/checkout takes no tags by default, so the tag-based comparison read an EMPTY set on every CI run and passed on anything - the precise regression it exists to catch would have ridden through green. The two jobs that run the suite (the four Linux shards and the unsharded macOS control) now fetch tags explicitly. The other jobs do not run this file and are left alone. Strictly-ahead was the wrong rule. On a release commit package.json SHOULD equal the newest tag - main sits at 2.33.0 with v2.33.0 pointing at it, preview at 2.33.0-preview.20260825 - so the first version would have turned every released commit red the moment it reached main. Equality is now legal exactly when the tag names the commit under test, and a duplicate anywhere else. Verified both ways in a throwaway worktree: green on the real v2.33.0 commit, red with the same version on its parent. Two more comparator cases are pinned, because the asymmetry is easy to get backwards: a prerelease of a FUTURE version is ahead (2.35.0-preview.1 may sit on dev while v2.34.0 is newest), while a prerelease of the SAME core is behind its own stable release. Also checked and NOT changed: src/generated/compatibility-version.json hashes package.json, but it is gitignored and regenerated on demand, so the bump carries no lockstep obligation. No tracked file outside package.json holds the product version.
The first fix paired fetch-tags with fetch-depth: 0, which clones every commit to answer a question about refs. A shallow fetch already brings each tag and its target commit, and that is all the check reads: the tag list, plus whether the newest tag names HEAD. The second read only matters on a release commit, where the tag points at HEAD and the commit is therefore present by definition. Verified rather than assumed. In a fresh git init with a depth=1 fetch, a plain ref fetch gives 0 tags; adding the tag refspec at the same depth gives all 212, and v2.33.0 resolves to ec51e42. tests/release-version-line.test.ts then passes in that shallow clone, which is the shape CI now has.

Use a strict SemVer validator.
The regex accepts 01.2.3, 2.34.0-01, and 2.34.0-alpha..1, although these are not valid SemVer. The test can therefore pass an invalid package.json version. Reuse a strict shared parser, preferably the parser used by compareReleaseTags in scripts/release-notes.ts (Lines 66-79), instead of validating only the character shape.
