Follow-up to #288. Publishing a docs/v* release also ran the goreleaser Release workflow, and several of its actions had drifted onto the deprecated Node 20 runtime.

Release workflow

  • Skip docs releases. The Release job triggered on every published release, so a docs/v* release (handled by the Documentation workflow) also ran goreleaser. It now runs only for product releases: an early filter skips any release whose tag is not v*, and a Validate tag step rejects anything that isn't vX.Y.Z (optional prerelease) before building — the same two-layer semver check the docs workflow uses.
  • Safer tag handling. The tag is read via an env: var and the checkout uses the validated ref, replacing the step that interpolated the tag directly into a run: script.

Node 24

Bump the four actions still on Node 20, clearing the deprecation warnings on release runs:

Action From To
docker/setup-qemu-action v3.6.0 v4.2.0
docker/setup-buildx-action v3.11.1 v4.2.0
docker/login-action v3.6.0 v4.6.0
goreleaser/goreleaser-action v6.4.0 v7.2.3

The goreleaser-action major bump keeps the distribution/version/args inputs this workflow uses.

Dependabot

mcpd had no Dependabot version-update config — which is how those action pins went stale. Add weekly grouped updates for the three ecosystems the repo uses (gomod, github-actions, docker), with go minor/patch grouped and majors kept separate for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Improved release automation for manually triggered and published versioned releases.
    • Enhanced release validation and tag handling to make published builds more reliable.
    • Updated release tooling to support current build and publishing requirements.
    • Added scheduled maintenance checks to help keep project components and release workflows up to date.
    • Expanded version validation to support prerelease identifiers with letters, numbers and hyphens.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds weekly Dependabot updates and extends tag validation for prereleases. The release workflow validates and checks out release tags directly. It also updates pinned build and release actions.

Changes

Automation updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dependency update policy
.github/dependabot.yml
Dependabot schedules weekly Go module, GitHub Actions, and Docker updates. It groups updates and applies configured pull-request limits and commit prefixes.
Release tag validation and action updates
.github/workflows/docs.yaml, .github/workflows/release.yaml
Documentation and release workflows accept supported prerelease identifiers. The release job validates the tag before checkout, checks out the validated tag, and updates the QEMU, Docker Buildx, Docker login, and GoReleaser actions.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 275b5

The release workflows now filter and validate tags, but both validators still allow malformed SemVer tags such as versions with leading zeros, which could trigger unintended packaging or documentation behavior. The PR is not merge-ready until strict SemVer validation is enforced or this exception is explicitly accepted.

The tag regex used [a-zA-Z0-9.]+ for the prerelease, which rejected valid SemVer tags whose identifiers contain a hyphen (e.g. v1.2.3-rc-1) and accepted invalid tags with empty identifiers (e.g. v1.2.3-rc..1). Match a dot-separated list of non-empty [0-9A-Za-z-] identifiers instead. Applied to both the release and docs tag validation.

Enforce strict SemVer in both tag validators.

Both regular expressions accept leading-zero core and numeric prerelease identifiers. Use 0|[1-9][0-9]* for each core component and for prerelease identifiers that contain only digits. Keep non-numeric prerelease identifiers valid.
