Releasing currently takes three manual actions: dispatch bump-version, dispatch netlify-deploy and wait ~15 minutes, then check out master and push the tag by hand. Steps two and three are easy to forget or to run against the wrong commit.

Now one dispatch of Bump version & trigger release does the whole thing. The bump job pushes vX.Y.Z at the end, and that single tag event triggers build-release and netlify-deploy in parallel — packages reach PyPI in a few minutes, docs follow.

Why the tag is pushed from the bump job

bump-version.yaml already contained a commented-out trigger-release job for this. It was never enabled, and as written it would not have worked:

  • Its fresh actions/checkout@v5 has no ref, which on a workflow_dispatch run resolves to master as of dispatch time — the commit before the bump. It would have tagged the old version.
  • A tag pushed with the default GITHUB_TOKEN triggers no workflows at all, so the release would have stalled silently. This is the likely reason the job was left disabled.

Pushing the tag from the end of the existing bump job avoids both: the working copy is already at the merged master commit, and the checkout already uses TOKEN_GITHUB_YENKINS_ADMIN because it needs it to push to protected master.

Release branches are now rel/X.Y.Z for every bump type

patch/X.Y.Z was the repository's only reference to patch/, and it actively hurt: pre-merge.yaml triggers on rel/** and the docs build enumerates rel/*, so patch releases were invisible to both. A PR into a patch/ branch got no CI at all. Renaming also collapses the Specify release branch step.

The release-tag-checks guard

Adding a tag trigger to the docs deploy has a sharp edge: hugo-build-versioned-action does its own checkout@v5 with no ref, so it builds docs/content/en from the triggering tag and netlify deploy --prods it. Tagging a patch would put an outdated site live. The same tag would also take the "Latest" badge via the hardcoded make_latest: true.

The new composite action answers the two questions separately, because they are not the same question and they disagree exactly on the backport cases:

  • is_latest — is this the highest stable vX.Y.Z tag? Drives the "Latest" badge, where version order is the right predicate.
  • is_on_master — is this tag an ancestor of the default branch? Drives the docs deploy. Releases are tagged on master; a patch is branched from a release branch and never merged back, so its tree is behind master.

Using is_latest for both would have let a patch of the newest line through: it produces the highest tag, but still an outdated tree. Non-tag refs return true for both, so manual dispatch is unaffected.

Patching an already released version

MAINTENANCE.md gains a runbook for this, which had no documented procedure — the only two patches ever made (1.32.1, 1.32.2) predate the current tooling. It covers picking the base, cherry-picking from master through a PR that CI now actually runs on, bumping, and tagging. Only the tagging is automated; the rest is manual by nature.

It also records why bump-version.yaml must not be used here: its final git checkout master && git merge would drag old code and version numbers onto master. Its patch bump type means "release master as a patch", not "patch the released line" — so this runbook applies to the newest line too whenever a release must exclude unreleased master work.

One limit the guards cannot cover, documented in the runbook: a tag runs the workflows as they exist at that tag. Release lines branched before this change run their own older copies, in which make_latest is hardcoded true, so those need the workflow cherry-picked onto the branch before tagging.

The runbook also records two docs-site quirks left as-is rather than fixed: generate.sh windows to the four newest branches sorted by major.minor only, so a patch inside the window costs a displayed version, and a patch of an old line falls outside it entirely. The draft netlify-deploy-v2.yaml already handles both correctly via discover-versions.sh, so this resolves itself when v2 lands.

Concurrency

One dispatch is now the whole release, so overlapping runs matter in a way they did not before:

  • bump-version — keyed by branch (bump-${{ github.ref_name }}) rather than globally, so two dispatches cannot race to bump, merge and tag, while a bump from a hotfix branch stays independent of one from master.
  • netlify-deploy — a single netlify-prod group covering both triggers. The deploy target is one shared resource; overlapping runs race over what ends up live.
  • build-release — serialized because is_latest is computed once per run. Each tag is unique so runs never collide on the tag itself, but with two releases in flight the earlier one can finish last and take the "Latest" badge back from the newer one.

None cancel in progress. Interrupting bump-version between the master push and the tag push leaves a release half-made, a cancelled netlify deploy --prod can leave the site partly updated, and a cancelled build-release leaves components half-published.

Verification

actionlint is clean on all three modified workflows — bump-version.yaml previously had two shellcheck warnings, one removed with the patch/ step and the other fixed here.

Both predicates were exercised against the repo's real 80 tags. is_latest: v1.74.0, v1.73.1 and v2.0.0 resolve true; v1.60.1, v1.72.1 and v1.9.1 false. is_on_master: real release tags and release-branch tips resolve true, and a synthesized commit on top of rel/1.60.0 that master has never seen resolves false. The stable-tag filter was tested with a stray v999.0.0-test present, including the empty-result case that pipefail would otherwise turn fatal.

Not verifiable before merge: the tag trigger only fires from the default branch, so the first real release is the end-to-end confirmation. Worth watching that one dispatch produces two downstream runs.

Two follow-ups deliberately left out of scope, both worth a look:

  1. hugo-build-versioned-action does its own checkout with no ref while hardcoding ./generate.sh origin master — it declares itself a master build and then checks out the tag. Giving it a ref input would delete is_on_master entirely and let patches publish correct docs instead of none.
  2. This change makes an existing docs quirk routine. patch bumps used to produce patch/X.Y.Z, which generate.sh never globbed; now they are rel/X.Y.Z and consume a slot in its four-newest window, so a patch drops the site from four displayed versions to three. discover-versions.sh does not already fix this — it windows before section dedup too.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 25171

This PR automates version bumps, tagging, package publishing, and production documentation deployment from one dispatch. At the current head, malformed or non-stable tags may still trigger public release or production deployment, while overlapping dispatches may silently drop pending releases; the patch procedure can also omit earlier fixes. These safeguards and instructions should be corrected before merging.

Reject non-stable tags before release workflows continue.

v*.*.* also matches tags such as v1.2.3-rc1. This code marks such a tag as not latest but exits successfully. github_release can then create a non-prerelease GitHub release, and a tag on master can deploy documentation to production.

Fail this action for tag names that do not match the stable version format, or expose an is_stable output and require it in both release jobs.

Branch repeated patches from the selected base.

When the newest base is rel/1.60.2, Line 50 must create rel/1.60.3 from <remote>/rel/1.60.2. The current command remains fixed to <remote>/rel/1.60.0, so it can omit fixes already released in earlier patches.

@hkad98
hkad98 force-pushed the jkd/auto-release branch 2 times, most recently from bd774a5 to f715a3e Compare September 1, 2026 07:32
Releasing needed three manual actions: dispatch bump-version, dispatch
netlify-deploy, then hand-tag master. Now bump-version pushes vX.Y.Z at the
end of the bump job, and that one tag event triggers build-release and
netlify-deploy in parallel.

The tag is pushed from the bump job itself rather than the commented-out
trigger-release job, which would have tagged the pre-bump commit: its fresh
checkout resolves to master as of dispatch time. The push must also carry
TOKEN_GITHUB_YENKINS_ADMIN, already used for the master push, because GitHub
does not trigger workflows from GITHUB_TOKEN pushes -- the likely reason that
job was left disabled.

Release branches are now rel/X.Y.Z for every bump type. The old patch/X.Y.Z
naming was the repository's only reference to patch/, and it hid patch
releases from both the pre-merge pipeline and the docs build, which key off
rel/** and rel/* respectively.

Adds release-tag-checks, which answers the two questions the release workflows
ask about a tag. They are not the same question and they disagree exactly on
the backport cases. is_latest, the highest stable vX.Y.Z tag, decides the
"Latest" badge, so a patch of an older line does not take it from the current
release. is_on_master, an ancestry check against the default branch, decides
the documentation deploy: releases are tagged on master, while a patch is
branched from a release branch and never merged back. Gating the docs on
is_latest instead would have let a patch of the newest line through -- it
produces the highest tag but still a tree behind master, and the hugo action
checks out the triggering tag, so the deploy would have reverted every
documentation change merged since that release.

The three workflows are serialized. bump-version is keyed by branch so a
hotfix bump stays independent of one from master; netlify-deploy takes one
group for its shared deploy target; build-release is serialized because
is_latest is computed once per run, so two releases in flight could let the
earlier one finish last and take the badge back. None cancel in progress -- an
interrupted release is a half-made one.

MAINTENANCE.md replaces the three-step release with the single dispatch and
documents the previously unwritten procedure for patching an already released
version, including why bump-version must not be used for it and that a tag runs
the workflows as they exist at that tag, so older release lines need the
workflow cherry-picked before tagging.

Also quotes $GITHUB_OUTPUT in the bump step, clearing the file's last
shellcheck warning, and notes on the draft netlify-deploy-v2 that it must bring
the gate along when it takes over.

GitHub Actions concurrency cancel-in-progress false pending run later run cancels queue max official documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the cancel-in-progress: false setting prevents the cancellation of currently running jobs within a concurrency group, but it does not protect pending (queued) jobs from being canceled [1][2]. Under default behavior (without the newer queue: max configuration), a concurrency group allows at most one running job and one pending job [3][2]. If a new job enters the group while another is already pending, the previously pending job is automatically canceled and replaced by the newest one [3][1][2]. This behavior is designed to ensure that the most recent request is the one that executes next, rather than processing stale intermediate jobs [2]. To allow multiple pending jobs to wait without being canceled, you must use the queue: max property [3][4]. Key details regarding this behavior: - cancel-in-progress: false (default): Protects the running job from interruption but does not prevent newer queued jobs from replacing older, waiting jobs [1][2]. - queue: single (default): Maintains the legacy behavior where only one job can be pending, and new jobs cancel the existing pending job [3][4]. - queue: max: Allows up to 100 jobs to be queued sequentially [3][5]. This can be used when cancel-in-progress is false or not set [5]. - Conflict: You cannot combine queue: max with cancel-in-progress: true because they define conflicting behaviors for managing in-progress runs [3][4]. In summary, if you are experiencing cancellations while cancel-in-progress is false, it is because a newer run is taking the single available 'pending' slot in your concurrency group [1][2]. To preserve all runs, you must enable queue: max [3][5].

🌐 Web query:

site:docs.github.com/en/actions "queue: max" concurrency

💡 Result:

In the context of GitHub Actions, the queue: max configuration is used within the concurrency block to manage how multiple workflow runs are handled when they share a concurrency group [1][2]. By default, GitHub Actions concurrency control only allows one pending run per group; if a new run is triggered, the existing pending run is canceled [1][3]. By setting queue: max, you allow up to 100 workflow runs to wait in the queue within a single concurrency group, executing sequentially as resources become available [1][4]. Key details regarding queue: max include: * Capacity: It allows a maximum of 100 queued (pending) jobs or workflow runs per concurrency group [1][4]. * Behavior: If the queue reaches this limit of 100, any additional incoming workflow runs that attempt to join the group will be rejected (canceled) [1][3]. * Constraints: You cannot use queue: max in combination with cancel-in-progress: true, as these settings represent conflicting strategies for managing in-progress and pending jobs [1][2]. This mechanism is distinct from other concurrency limits, such as account-level or runner-specific job limits, which regulate the total number of jobs running across an entire organization or repository [4].

Citations:


Queue pending release runs.

cancel-in-progress: false does not retain pending runs. GitHub Actions keeps one pending run per concurrency group and replaces it when a newer run enters the group. Add queue: max to all three concurrency blocks to retain up to 100 pending runs.

Limit the “Latest” statement to non-latest patches.

build-release.yaml passes is_latest directly to make_latest, while netlify-deploy.yaml independently gates deployment with is_on_master. A current-line patch can keep the “Latest” badge while documentation deployment is skipped. State that the badge is withheld only for non-latest patches.
