### Stable: `.github/workflows/release-stable.yml`

**Trigger:** manual dispatch only. The workflow has no push trigger.
Stable is a protected **PREPARE → manual authorization → FINALIZE** promotion, not a direct release. The first promotion is atomic and accepts exactly this matrix:

The workflow always checks out `master`, fetches `origin/master`, and fails unless the checkout is the current remote commit. The `projects` input is required and is validated against all seven Nx release projects.
| Package | Beta source | Stable target |
| ------------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------- |
| `@effectify/hatchet` | `0.1.0-beta.0` | `0.1.0` |
| `@effectify/node-better-auth` | `0.5.12-beta.0` | `0.5.12` |
| `@effectify/prisma` | `1.1.13-beta.0` | `1.1.13` |
| `@effectify/react-query` | `1.0.0-beta.1` | `1.0.0` |
| `@effectify/react-router` | `0.6.0-beta.0` | `0.6.0` |
| `@effectify/react-router-better-auth` | `0.5.12-beta.0` | `0.5.12` |
| `@effectify/solid-query` | `0.5.12-beta.0` | `0.5.12` |

#### Normal stable graduation
#### Protected stable quick path

1. Select one or more existing prerelease projects in the comma-separated `projects` input.
2. Leave `publish_only` disabled.
3. The workflow verifies the release-policy contract, exact checked-out HEAD equality with fetched `origin/master`, the selected-project allowlist, and npm authentication.
4. It builds and tests the selected projects, then runs React Router 8 tests, consolidation, readiness, and manifest verification.
5. Only after validation passes, Nx applies the relative `patch` specifier to the selected prereleases, producing their stable versions and release metadata.
6. Nx publishes only the selected projects without a prerelease dist-tag, so npm uses the stable default tag.
1. Dispatch all seven project names with `publish_only=false` and leave `expected_sha` empty. PREPARE verifies current `master`, policy/build/test/readiness gates, and exact source versions. Nx materializes only `CHANGELOG.md` and the seven manifests with commit, tag, push, and staging disabled.
2. Read the secret-free summary and verify its source SHA, `release/stable-<source-sha12>` branch, versions, and paths. Create or reuse the approved issue, then manually open its linked PR to protected `master`; the sole `type:*` label is `type:chore`. Required checks, review, and branch protection authorize merge. PREPARE does not create issues/PRs, publish, tag, create Releases, or push `master`.
3. Confirm the merge-triggered beta workflow reports structural stable suppression. Message text alone never suppresses; partial, mixed, malformed, or extra-path release shapes stop.
4. Capture the merged current lowercase 40-character `master` SHA. Dispatch the same seven projects with `publish_only=true` and that SHA as `expected_sha`.
5. FINALIZE reads all npm histories/`latest`, exact remote tags, and Releases before mutation, then reconciles **annotated exact-SHA tags → non-draft/non-prerelease Releases → missing-only npm publication**. Stable publication omits `--tag`, so it alone advances `latest`.

The workflow rejects a selected normal-mode project whose local manifest is already stable. This keeps graduation explicit and prevents an accidental extra patch release.
Alpha remains prerelease-only with `--tag=alpha`; beta remains prerelease-only with annotated tags, prerelease Releases, and `--tag=beta`; stable has no prerelease suffix and never mutates prior alpha/beta artifacts. npm verification rereads at most six times with ten-second waits. Retry only the same exact SHA and matrix; matching artifacts are retained and only missing artifacts continue.

#### Publish-only stable recovery
**Stop immediately** on a moved `master`, altered matrix, unexpected/staged/untracked path, moved ref, unreadable or malformed external state, lightweight/wrong-target/duplicate tag, draft/prerelease stable Release, stable collision, or an existing stable npm version whose `latest` differs. Do not independently repair a dist-tag.

Use this only when selected stable versions already exist in the checked-out manifests but need publication retried:
Before merge, abandon/delete only the prepared branch and PR. After merge but before any public artifact, cancel through a protected revert PR. After any public artifact exists, never delete, retarget, unpublish, deprecate, or rewrite it; stop and recover forward only through the same exact FINALIZE after state is authorized.

1. Enter the exact existing stable project names in `projects`.
2. Enable `publish_only`.
3. The workflow rejects missing versions, prerelease versions, unknown projects, and empty selections.
4. It builds, tests, and verifies before publishing the selected manifests.
5. It performs no version, changelog, tag, release commit, or git push mutation and supplies no prerelease npm dist-tag.
**Trigger:** manual dispatch only. The workflow has no push trigger. Use only the protected quick path above; the former direct graduation and publish-only recovery procedures are retired.

Reject partial stable transitions before beta PREPARE.

A push that changes only packages/hatchet/package.json from 0.1.0-beta.0 to 0.1.0 does not match $EXPECTED_PATHS. If it does not also change CHANGELOG.md or use a matching subject, Line 173 allows normal beta PREPARE to continue. The specification requires partial stable-shaped transitions to fail closed.

Detect any authorized prerelease-to-stable transition before the affected-project fallback. Reject it unless the complete eight-path stable shape is valid.

In @.github/workflows/cd.yml at line 173, Update the release decision logic
around the HEAD_SUBJECT/CHANGED condition to detect any authorized
prerelease-to-stable transition before the affected-project fallback, including
package.json-only changes, and fail closed unless the complete eight-path stable
transition shape is valid. Preserve the existing skip-release, changelog, and
valid stable-release handling while preventing partial stable transitions from
entering beta PREPARE.
