Release prep — must land before merging #2904

Two problems found while checking what the releases page will show. Both are fixed here; merge this before #2904, since publish.yml runs from main and #2904's merge is what triggers it.

1. Breaking changes were invisible on the releases page

publish.yml generated release notes as a bare package list plus "See individual package CHANGELOGs for details."v10.5.0 is exactly that.

For v11 that means the Node 22 baseline, 5 removed compressors and the removed type aliases would appear nowhere on the release, leaving upgraders to go digging.

Now the version's own packages/core/CHANGELOG.md section is prepended above the package list. Verified:

  • the awk extraction against the real ## 11.0.0 entry — captures the full Major Changes block, stops correctly at the next heading
  • a missing section degrades cleanly to the previous package-list-only output
  • publish.yml still parses and the run script survives as one scalar (awk and gh release create both intact)

2. srod/node-minify@v1 never existed

Every doc told users:

- uses: srod/node-minify@v1

But there is no v1 tag on the repo, and release-action.yml has never run — zero runs in its history. That snippet has been broken for everyone who copied it.

Root cause: release-action.yml derives its major tag from the release tag publish.yml creates, which is the monorepo version (v10.5.0, now v11.0.0). So the action's tag line is v11v1 was never reachable.

Updated all 31 references to @v11 across docs/src/content/docs/github-action.md (17), packages/action/README.md (5), AGENTS.md (3), .github/actions/node-minify/README.md (3), and .github/actions/node-minify/action.yml (3).

After the v11.0.0 release publishes, release-action.yml fires on release: published and creates the v11 tag, making the documented snippet work for the first time.

Verification

Gate Result
build pass
lint / typecheck pass
test 1047 passed (70 files)
removed-compressor guard pass
YAML parse (publish.yml, both action.yml) pass

Note

packages/action/action.yml still declares using: "node20". Left alone deliberately — it's the GitHub runner runtime, not the npm baseline, and CI only warns that Node 20 actions are force-migrated to Node 24.


Summary by cubic

Release notes now include the version’s core CHANGELOG section, and publishing explicitly dispatches the action release workflow so v11 breaking changes and the srod/node-minify@v11 tag are available to users.

  • Falls back to package-only notes when the CHANGELOG section is missing.
  • Updates all action examples and deprecation messages from @v1 to @v11.
  • Uploads the action artifact on dispatched runs and overwrites it safely on repeats.
  • Manual dispatches must name an existing, non-draft release tag.
  • Limits the 30-second timeout to the slow minify-html error test; other tests keep the default.
  • Must land before Version Packages #2904, which triggers the release from main.

Written for commit b401ced. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated GitHub Action usage examples and migration guidance to reference the current v11 release.
  • Release Improvements

    • Improved automated publishing and release-note generation, including the current version’s changelog entry.
    • Added validation for manually triggered release tags and support for uploading release artifacts during those runs.
    • Enabled replacement of existing release artifacts when necessary.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Increased the timeout for a Windows-sensitive minification error test to improve release validation reliability.

Release notes: publish.yml emitted only a package list plus 'See
individual package CHANGELOGs', so v11's breaking changes — Node 22
baseline, 5 removed compressors, removed type aliases — were invisible
on the releases page. Prepend the version's own core CHANGELOG section
above the package list. Verified the awk extraction against the real
11.0.0 entry, and that a missing section degrades to the previous
package-list-only output.

Action tag: every doc said 'srod/node-minify@v1', but no v1 tag exists
and release-action.yml has never run. That workflow derives its major
tag from the release tag publish.yml creates, which is the monorepo
version — so the action line is v11, never v1. The documented snippet
could not have worked. Update all 31 references across the docs, both
action READMEs and the composite action manifest.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates GitHub Action references to v11, generates release notes from the core changelog, dispatches the release workflow after publishing, validates manually supplied release tags, and raises one Vitest test timeout for Windows runners.

Changes

Action and release updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update action version references
.github/actions/node-minify/README.md, .github/actions/node-minify/action.yml, AGENTS.md, docs/src/content/docs/github-action.md, packages/action/README.md
Action metadata and documentation examples now use srod/node-minify@v11 instead of @v1.
Generate changelog-based release notes
.github/workflows/publish.yml
The publish workflow extracts the current version entry from packages/core/CHANGELOG.md and adds it to the generated release notes.
Dispatch and validate the action release workflow
.github/workflows/publish.yml, .github/workflows/release-action.yml
The publish workflow dispatches release-action.yml with the version tag. Manual runs validate that the tag identifies a published release before uploading artifacts. Uploads use the computed tag and overwrite existing files.

Test execution settings

Layer / File(s) Summary
Increase Vitest test timeout
packages/minify-html/__tests__/minify-html-error.test.ts
The minification error test now uses a 30-second timeout and documents slower module setup on Windows runners.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b401c

The release-note extraction may omit valid changelog content when a non-version Markdown heading appears, resulting in incomplete published notes. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for this bounded documentation risk.

Stop only at the next version heading.

Line 69 exits on every line that starts with ## . If a changelog entry contains a level-two heading or ## inside a fenced code block, the workflow truncates the release notes. Match only valid version headings or track fenced-code state.

cubic P1: releases created with GITHUB_TOKEN do not emit
'release: published', so release-action.yml has never run — which is
why no v1/v11 tag exists and every documented action snippet was
broken. Documenting @v11 alone would not have fixed it.

workflow_dispatch is exempt from that recursion guard, so publish.yml
now dispatches release-action.yml with the release tag after creating
the release, and takes the actions: write permission that requires.
release-action.yml uploaded its artifact only when github.event_name
was 'release', so a dispatched run would tag without publishing the
zip; drop that condition and pass tag_name explicitly.

Windows CI: the minify-html error test resets the module registry and
re-imports the compressor, exceeding vitest's 5s default on Windows
runners. Set testTimeout to 30s, matching the convention in the action
and GCC packages.

cubic P2 claimed softprops/action-gh-release@v2 errors on an existing
asset unless 'overwrite: true' is set. Checked the action source: the
input is overwrite_files, not overwrite, and github.ts only skips the
replace when it is exactly false — so re-runs already overwrite. Set it
explicitly anyway to document the intent for repeated dispatches.

cubic P3: the 30s timeout applied to every minify-html test, so an
unrelated regression could hang for 30s instead of failing at 5s. Move
it onto the one slow test and restore the package default.

Comment thread .github/workflows/release-action.yml
CodeRabbit (Major, CWE-862) on the dispatch path this PR introduced:
release-action.yml force-updates tags and now overwrites release assets
on workflow_dispatch, but its tag input was only format-validated. Any
account with write access could dispatch an arbitrary tag-shaped ref,
have it checked out, and force-move tags over an existing release.

Gate the workflow before checkout: on workflow_dispatch the tag must
match the release-tag pattern and resolve to an existing, non-draft
release of this repository. Verified v10.5.0 is accepted while an
unpublished tag, a branch name, and a shell-injection string are all
rejected before any ref is checked out.
