Drive releases from CHANGELOG.md with towncrier (ENG-10965) - #498
Conversation
Releases were cut by hand: write a dated `## [X.Y.Z]` heading, push a `v*` tag,
and release.yml built the wheel matrix and published. The tag was the trigger, so
a failed publish left a tag to delete and re-cut, the changelog was a checklist
item nothing enforced, and every contributor edited the same file.
Adopt reflex-release (0.1.0a2) with towncrier so CHANGELOG.md is the trigger
instead: a version heading with no matching git tag is what publishes that
version, and the tag is pushed only after PyPI accepts the artifacts. A failed
release is retried by pushing a fix on top of the changelog bump — nothing to
delete, nothing to re-cut.
news fragment -> Dispatch release -> CHANGELOG.md bump -> merge
|
GitHub release <- tag <- upload <- approval <- build matrix
Four workflows come from the tool and are regenerated verbatim by
`reflex-release sync`; the generated changelog.yml runs `sync --check` on every
pull request, so drift is a red PR rather than a surprise at release time. This
repository owns two workflows, both wired in through [tool.reflex-release]:
- build_release_artifacts.yml (`custom-build`) — the release matrix. `uv build`
on one runner cannot produce eleven cross-compiled platform wheels, a
runtime-verified PyEmscripten wheel and an sdist, so publish.yml calls this
instead of its own build job. The matrix, every per-artifact gate and the
wheel-size budget are unchanged; each job now tags its own checkout, since no
tag exists at build time. `expect-artifacts` names all thirteen files a release
must contain, so a matrix leg that silently uploads nothing stops the release
instead of shipping a version some users cannot install.
- deploy-docs-stg.yml (`post-release-workflow`) — dispatched per published tag,
after the upload, the tag and the GitHub release exist. Its own `push: tags`
trigger cannot see a tag pushed with GITHUB_TOKEN; this closes that gap. The
dispatch contract is its `tag`/`package`/`version` inputs.
Everything else the pipeline owns: the whole matrix runs before the approval
gate, `collect` verifies every artifact declares the released version and
checksums the set the reviewer approves, and the single credentialed job sits
behind the `pypi` environment's required reviewers.
Also:
- publish.yml has no `push` trigger, so a hand-cut tag can no longer publish
without a changelog entry, the version gate, or an approval.
- The tag-shape gate accepts `.postN` (the `release-post` action) and runs in the
build workflow's `version-gate` job, ahead of the cross-compile legs.
- Existing changelog headings are converted to the towncrier format the release
parser reads back, and `## [Unreleased]` becomes the towncrier marker. The
pending entry for #496 moves to a news fragment.
- verify_ci_workflow.py drops its release-workflow validation, and the action-pin
policy applies to the workflows this repository authors: the release pipeline's
invariants are tested where the tool lives, and re-asserting them here went
stale the moment the tool changed.
Repository settings this needs: required reviewers on the `pypi` environment, the
PyPI trusted publisher repointed from release.yml to publish.yml, PR creation
enabled for Actions, and the skip-changelog and changelog-version-edit labels.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe release system now uses changelog and Towncrier configuration to detect versions, build artifacts through reusable workflows, publish verified distributions to PyPI, create GitHub releases, and deploy documentation. Workflow verification now excludes generated release workflows. ChangesRelease pipeline
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The release workflow can allow the person dispatching a release to approve the same PyPI upload, so independent approval is not enforced by default; additionally, stalled documentation deployments may fail without reaching their diagnostic path. These bounded release-governance and observability risks should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Valid, but not fixable here: publish.yml is reflex-release's generated output, and this PR's whole point is that it is no longer forked. Editing it would make reflex-release sync --check — which the generated changelog.yml runs on every PR — report the file as drift permanently, which is the arrangement this branch removes.
Scoping the risk while it stands: the job holds no secrets and no OIDC (contents: read only), so a malformed :: in a gh api error line can garble or truncate a diagnostic message on the failure path. It cannot suppress the gate — the exit 1 follows unconditionally — and it cannot leak anything.
Collected as upstream follow-up in spec/process/production-readiness.md § Hardening Backlog. Happy to open the reflex-release PR to sanitize the interpolation if you want it tracked as more than a note.

Correct — the count is stale, and it is stale upstream: this file is reflex-release's generated output, header comment included. I confirmed the miscount comes straight from the template rather than from an edit of mine.
Fixing it here would fork a generated workflow over a comment, and reflex-release sync --check (run by this same file on every PR) would then report it as drift forever.

Fixed: - build_release_artifacts.yml sets `persist-credentials: false` on all four checkouts. The build jobs run third-party code (npm ci, cargo, cibuildwheel, uv pip install) in that workspace and none needs git write access — `git tag` works without credentials and publish.yml pushes the tag later. The generated publish.yml already did this on all of its checkouts. - test_changelog_versions_are_newest_first compared `int()` of the first three dot-parts, so a prerelease heading raised ValueError instead of failing the assertion, and `.postN` was dropped entirely (v1.2.3.post1 before v1.2.3.post2 compared equal and passed). Both shapes are ones HEADING_RE permits and the release actions produce; it now parses the full PEP 440 version. - test_news_fragments_use_configured_types matched a token intersection, which accepted `496.feature.md.bak` and `496.invalid.feature.md` — names the release tool counts as pending but towncrier will not materialize. Anchored on the whole filename now. - _authored_workflows() enumerates `.yaml` as well as `.yml`; GitHub loads both, so an authored `.yaml` workflow would have bypassed the pin and cache policy. - `make news-check` takes BASE_REF from the environment, defaulting to origin/main, so a pull request onto r/pre-* or r/hotfix/** can diff the base it actually targets. - Docs corrections, all of them my own stale text: the release-note rule is stated once (required by source directory, waived by skip-changelog) in CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and spec/process/contributing.md; contributing.md names both repository-owned workflows and the post-release dispatch contract; "No release workflow has a push: tags trigger" becomes "No *publishing* workflow", since deploy-docs-stg.yml keeps one deliberately; the release checklist no longer claims `make check-ci` covers the release workflows; and the dry-run backlog note points at build_release_artifacts.yml's empty-tag dispatch rather than a `dry_run` input publish.yml no longer has. Not fixed here, recorded in the hardening backlog as upstream work: the `::error::` interpolation in publish.yml's approval gate and changelog.yml's stale "Two guards" count both live in generated files. Editing them would fork a workflow that `sync --check` then reports as drift forever — the arrangement this branch exists to remove.
