# Release Version Files

Require an exact target; ask if missing or ambiguous. Reject targets containing `-preview`: those are tag-only. Infer `post-release` only from an explicit request or parent workflow; otherwise use `prepare`. Delivery defaults to local edit/verify; commit, push, PR, and merge follow existing authorization and [Git rules](../../references/pull-requests.md).

| Stage | Files and constraints |
|---|---|
| `prepare` | Only `Cargo.toml` and `Cargo.lock`: workspace package, internal dependency, and workspace member versions become `<target>`. External dependencies stay unchanged. |
| `post-release` | Only `README.md`, `README_ZH.md`, `flake.nix`, `helm/rustfs/Chart.yaml`, and `rustfs.spec`. Cargo may already target the next release; leave it untouched. |

Before installation edits, verify the exact non-preview Release, downloadable assets/source archive, pullable `rustfs/rustfs:<target>` image manifest, and published Helm chart. Block on missing artifacts. Do not downgrade defaults if a newer deliverable superseded the target. Preview preparation retains the previous published installation references; follow-up commits never replace either validated tag.

Packaging policy:

- Docker image tags have no `v` prefix. Derive chart/app versions with `scripts/helm_chart_version.sh <target>` (`beta.N -> 0.N.0`; other versions unchanged). Helm CI derives versions from the final tag, so no early chart bump is required.
- RPM `Version` is numeric; `Release` is the prerelease suffix or `1` for stable. Expanded `Source0` and the unpack directory must resolve to the exact target including its suffix. Add the changelog entry using current git identity, date, and target; never copy an example identity/date.
- Changing these mappings requires explicit confirmation.

Verification follows root tiers: `prepare` validates Cargo metadata with the updated lockfile and checks every workspace/internal version with no unrelated lockfile updates. `post-release` renders Helm with the verified image, runs `scripts/test_helm_chart_version.sh` for chart version edits, and checks README, Nix, and RPM references. Run `git diff --check`; report unresolved required checks as `BLOCKED` without unrelated fixes.

For authorized commits, keep stages separate: `chore(release): prepare <target>` or `chore(release): align installation references for <target>`. Report target/stage, changed files, verification, material uncertainty, and actual commit/push/PR state.
