Harnss Release Workflow

Run the full release pipeline. Bump type is passed as $ARGUMENTS (major, minor, or patch).

Step 1: Pre-flight Checks

Run these commands and read every line of output:

git status
git diff --cached --stat
git diff --cached

If the diff is too large to read in one shot, read it in chunks (e.g., per-directory or line ranges). You must read the entire diff before proceeding.

Review for:

• Test files, scratch files, temp files, debug artifacts (e.g., test-*.ts, scratch.*, *.tmp, random-*.md)
• Files that shouldn't be committed (.env, credentials, large binaries)

If you find any:

• Unstage or remove them
• Tell the user what you removed

If there are no staged changes but unstaged changes exist, ask the user if they want to stage anything first. If the working tree is completely clean (nothing to release), tell the user and stop.

Step 2: Version Bump

Determine new version

1. Read the current version from package.json (the "version" field)
2. Get the latest tag: git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1
3. Parse the current version as MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
4. Apply the bump type from $ARGUMENTS:
   • major → (MAJOR+1).0.0
   • minor → MAJOR.(MINOR+1).0
   • patch → MAJOR.MINOR.(PATCH+1)
5. If $ARGUMENTS is empty or invalid, ask the user which bump type they want

Check for SDK updates

npm view @anthropic-ai/Codex-agent-sdk version

Compare with the version in package.json under dependencies["@anthropic-ai/Codex-agent-sdk"] (strip the ^ prefix for comparison). If a newer version exists, update the dependency version (keep the ^ prefix) and tell the user.

Apply changes

1. Edit package.json to set the new version number
2. Stage it: git add package.json
3. If the SDK was updated, also run:

   pnpm install
   git add package.json pnpm-lock.yaml

Step 3: Commit

Choose the commit message based on what's staged:

Feature/fix changes staged (not just version bump)

feat: short summary (2-4 key themes)

- Change description 1
- Change description 2
- ...

Co-Authored-By: Codex Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Use fix: instead of feat: if all changes are bug fixes.

Only version bump staged

chore: bump version to X.Y.Z

Co-Authored-By: Codex Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

If the SDK was also updated:

chore: bump version to X.Y.Z and update Codex-agent-sdk to A.B.C

Co-Authored-By: Codex Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Always use a HEREDOC

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<message here>

Co-Authored-By: Codex Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
EOF
)"

Step 4: Tag & Push

git tag vX.Y.Z HEAD
git push origin master && git push origin vX.Y.Z

If push fails, report the error and stop.

Step 5: GitHub Release

Gather context

Get the previous release tag:

git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -2 | tail -1

Read the full diff and commit log since the previous release:

git log v{prev}...HEAD --oneline
git diff v{prev}...HEAD --stat
git diff v{prev}...HEAD

Read ALL of this output. For the full diff, read it in chunks if needed — every line matters for writing accurate release notes.

Write release notes

Load the template from references/release-notes-template.md and follow its format exactly.

Create the release

gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z — Short Descriptive Phrase" --notes "$(cat <<'EOF'
<release notes>
EOF
)"

The title uses an em dash (—), not a hyphen.

Output the release URL when done so the user can verify.

Important Notes

• Never skip reading the full diff in Step 1. Every line matters.
• The Co-Authored-By trailer is mandatory on every commit.
• Repo: https://github.com/OpenSource03/harnss
• Main branch: master
• Changelog URL format: https://github.com/OpenSource03/harnss/compare/v{prev}...v{current}
• Package manager: pnpm (never use npm or yarn for installs)
