Bump Version Release PR

Use this skill when preparing a WebUI release version bump PR.

Inputs

Ask for the release version if the user did not provide one. The input must be the bare semver version, without a leading v:

0.0.16

Use v<version> only when comparing or creating Git tags.

Hotfix releases use the repository hotfix command instead of the stable release PR workflow:

cargo xtask hotfix <commit> <oldest-tag> [--dry-run] [--support-commit <commit>]

<oldest-tag> may be written with or without the leading v. The command increments the -hotfix.<number> suffix independently for every stable release tag in range, creates each branch as hotfix/v<version>, and pushes it to queue the guarded Azure release pipeline. Run with --dry-run first when preparing more than one release line. Use --support-commit when an older release line needs a newer revision of the hotfix tooling than the commit that originally introduced it.

Workflow

1. Make sure the working branch is not main. If needed, create a release branch named <user>/bump-v<version>.

2. Fetch tags so the release range is current:

   git fetch --tags --quiet

3. Run the version bump:

   cargo xtask version <version>

4. Run the full quality gate and fix any failures:

   cargo xtask check

5. Find the previous release tag. WebUI release tags are prefixed with v:

   previous_tag=$(git tag --list 'v[0-9]*' --sort=-v:refname | grep -v "^v<version>$" | head -n 1)

   Stop if no previous tag is found.

6. Collect commits from the previous release through the current base commit. Do this before committing the version bump so release notes do not include the bump commit:

   git --no-pager log --reverse --format='%s%x09%H' "${previous_tag}..HEAD"

7. Build the PR release notes by grouping all commits into user-facing buckets and attributing every supporting PR to its contributor.

8. Commit the version bump with an imperative message:

   chore: bump version to <version>
   
   Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

9. Open or update the release PR titled:

   chore: bump version to <version>

Release notes bucketing

Use these buckets, omitting empty buckets:

Prefer concise, user-facing summaries over raw commit subjects. Combine related commits into one bullet when they describe the same release-note item.

For each bullet, include the supporting PR title, number, and contributor handle in parentheses. Put the contributor immediately after the PR reference:

- summary sentence (PR title #number by @contributor).

Use the PR author's GitHub login as the contributor, not the commit author or a co-author. When one bullet combines multiple PRs, repeat #number by @contributor for each supporting PR.

Do not include commit SHAs in the PR release notes. If a commit subject already contains a PR number, use it, then use gh to retrieve the PR title and author.login. Otherwise, use gh to inspect the commit or associated PR when possible.

PR body template

## Release

Bumps WebUI to `<version>`.

Previous release tag: `<previous_tag>`

## Changes since `<previous_tag>`

Features:

- <feature summary> (<PR title> #<number> by @<contributor>).

Fixes:

- <fix summary> (<PR title> #<number> by @<contributor>).

Docs:

- <docs summary> (<PR title> #<number> by @<contributor>).

Maintenance:

- <maintenance summary> (<PR title> #<number> by @<contributor>).

## Validation

- `cargo xtask check`

Remove empty buckets before opening or updating the PR.

Example style

Features:

- parser comment policy strips template/style comments while preserving legal comments, with CLI, Node, docs, and benchmark coverage (feat: strip template and style comments in parser and support legal comments #326 by @mohamedmansour).
- CSS module delivery now emits import-map data URI modules and the commerce demo defaults to module styles (Emit style modules via importmap + dataURI instead of <style type="module"> #325 by @KurtCattiSchmidt, Switch default styles to module for commerce demo #327 by @KurtCattiSchmidt).

Fixes:

- repeat-scope event arguments hydrate correctly for framework bindings, including strict argument handling (Fix event handler args in repeat scopes #317 by @jibin7jose, fix: hydrate strict event arguments in repeat scopes #322 by @mohamedmansour).
- client binding lifecycle ordering preserves child updates across conditional and repeated DOM paths (fix: initialize child bindings before connection #329 by @mohamedmansour).
- compiled templates preserve raw style text instead of altering author-provided CSS content (fix: preserve raw style text in compiled templates #330 by @mohamedmansour).

Docs:

- issue forms, contribution/support policy, framework rendering docs, CLI docs, and integration guides were refreshed (chore: clarify contribution and support policy #321 by @mohamedmansour, chore: add GitHub issue forms #328 by @mohamedmansour, plus docs in fix: hydrate strict event arguments in repeat scopes #322 by @mohamedmansour/Emit style modules via importmap + dataURI instead of <style type="module"> #325 by @KurtCattiSchmidt/feat: strip template and style comments in parser and support legal comments #326 by @mohamedmansour/fix: initialize child bindings before connection #329 by @mohamedmansour).
