Brings FlowSpec up to the same release automation as the-ai-team-plugin: merge to main → semantic-release analyzes conventional commits → picks the version → publishes to npm (with provenance) → creates the git tag + GitHub Release → commits the version bump back to package.json. Manual v* tag push and workflow_dispatch remain as fallbacks. Commitlint on PRs enforces the commit types that drive versioning (same .commitlintrc.yml as the plugin repo).

Context: npm is six months stale at 0.1.2 (Feb 21) while main carries the merged headers/setup/CLI-adapter work from August — releases have been manual-from-laptop and untagged (only v0.1.0 exists in the repo). This closes that loop permanently: merged and released can no longer drift apart. See queso/arcanelayer-store#35 for the downstream consumer waiting on a release.

Setup required before merge: add an NPM_TOKEN repo secret (npm automation token, so it works without 2FA prompts in CI).

On first release-worthy merge after this lands (e.g. the #15 fix), semantic-release will compute the version from all commits since the last tag — the August feat: commits make that v0.2.0, which ships headers + setup + CLI adapter to npm in one go. Backfilled tags v0.1.1/v0.1.2 keep the version math honest.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Added automated validation for commit messages to ensure consistent formatting.
    • Added an automated release process that runs tests and builds before publishing new package versions.
    • Releases now include generated release notes and corresponding repository release information.
    • Added support for triggering releases automatically or manually.

…h, GitHub release

Mirrors the-ai-team-plugin release setup (semantic-release on main push,
manual v* tag fallback, workflow_dispatch), adapted for an npm package:
@semantic-release/npm publishes with provenance, @semantic-release/git
commits the version bump back to package.json. Commitlint enforces the
conventional-commit types that drive version selection.

Requires an NPM_TOKEN repo secret (automation token).

Nitpick review — approve

This change introduces GitHub Actions workflows for commit linting and automated semantic releases, establishing the project's CI/CD pipeline. The configurations use standard actions and permission scopes typical for these tools, presenting no concrete runtime defects. However, because these workflows modify deployment infrastructure and release automation, the change's risk profile warrants human review to ensure alignment with the organization's specific security and supply-chain policies.

0 inline comment(s).

Verdict was approve, posted as a comment — this repo does not allow GitHub Actions to approve PRs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Conventional Commits validation for pull requests and a semantic-release workflow. The workflow installs dependencies, runs tests, builds the project, publishes the package, creates GitHub releases, and updates package metadata.

Changes

Release automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Commit message validation
.commitlintrc.yml, .github/workflows/commitlint.yml
The repository defines Conventional Commits rules. Pull requests targeting main run commit validation with read-only contents permission.
Semantic release pipeline
.releaserc.json, .github/workflows/release.yml
Pushes to main, v* tags, and manual runs install dependencies, run tests, build the project, and execute semantic-release. The configuration enables npm publishing, GitHub releases, git tagging, and package.json updates.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1db17

This PR adds automatic publishing and repository write access, but the release job currently relies on mutable action versions, its documented tag fallback will not publish, and its runtime version is unpinned. These issues create material security, release-correctness, and reproducibility risk and should be addressed before merging.

Use the CI Bun version for release builds.

Line 33 uses latest, while .github/workflows/ci.yml pins Bun 1.3.11 for lockfile-compatible, reproducible installs. Pin this workflow to the same version, or update both workflows together.

Pin all six GitHub Actions to reviewed full commit SHAs.

The current @v4, @v2, and @v6 references are mutable. The release action also receives NPM_TOKEN and write permissions.

… SHAs, pin bun

The v* tag trigger was a fallback in name only: semantic-release is
configured for main, so a tag-ref run exits without publishing. Removed.
All six action references pinned to reviewed commit SHAs (this workflow
holds NPM_TOKEN and write permissions). Bun pinned to 1.3.11 to match ci.yml.
