Closes #253

Type

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Documentation only
  • Code refactoring
  • Maintenance/tooling
  • Breaking change

Summary

Remove the undeclared jq dependency from protected stable PREPARE and FINALIZE. Use the workflow's explicitly configured Node 24 runtime for all fail-closed JSON parsing and type validation.

Root cause

Stable PREPARE run 33254079961 failed before Nx versioning:

/home/runner/work/_temp/1f5895e9-b17c-4e66-abc1-98c4e601cf02.sh: line 6: jq: command not found

The workflow assumed jq existed but never provisioned it.

Changes

  • Parse package manifests through Node and require object shape plus string name/version.
  • Parse npm version metadata through Node and require a string or an all-string array.
  • Parse dist-tags.latest through Node and require a string.
  • Parse GitHub Release metadata through Node and require exact tag identity plus boolean isDraft=false and isPrerelease=false.
  • Reject reintroduction of jq and targeted type-check weakening through mutation contracts.
  • Preserve the exact seven-project matrix, versions, SHA checks, path checks, reconciliation order, and publication semantics.

Verification

  • Release-policy contracts: 19/19 passed.
  • Targeted mutations reject weakened manifest, npm, dist-tag, and Release predicates.
  • Ruby Psych parsed the workflow.
  • Nx affected test/typecheck/lint/build passed.
  • Repository format and git diff --check passed.
  • Exactly two files changed: +44/−12.

Safety

  • No Nx release lifecycle command ran locally.
  • No workflow dispatch, release branch, protected ref, tag, GitHub Release, npm version, or dist-tag was created or changed.
  • This PR does not authorize retrying stable PREPARE; that remains a separate exact-SHA decision after merge verification.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved stable release validation for package metadata, versions, npm information, and GitHub Release states.
    • Added stricter checks to prevent malformed, incomplete, or incorrectly typed release data from progressing.
    • Improved validation consistency across release preparation and finalization steps.
  • Tests

    • Expanded release policy coverage for validation behavior, data formats, release identities, and release states.
    • Added safeguards to detect weakened validation and prevent regressions in release protections.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The stable release workflow replaces jq with inline Node.js JSON validation. It adds type checks for package manifests, npm metadata, dist-tags, and GitHub Releases. Release policy tests reject jq and weakened validation.

Changes

Stable release validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow Node.js validation
.github/workflows/release-stable.yml
PREPARE and FINALIZE use Node.js to validate package identity, versions, npm metadata, dist-tags, and GitHub Release state. The PostgreSQL environment block keeps the same values in multi-line YAML.
Release policy contract coverage
scripts/release-policy-contract.test.mjs
Policy checks inspect PREPARE and FINALIZE separately. They reject jq, invalid JSON types, incorrect identities, and draft or prerelease GitHub Releases. Mutation tests cover weakened validation in each phase.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9cc5e

The release workflow now uses the configured Node runtime and fail-closed validation, but a policy test can still miss a weakened GitHub Release parser if its checks are split across commands. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness to bind those checks and add the proposed mutation guard.

Poem

A rabbit checks the release trail,
With Node in place where jq might fail.
Names and versions stand in line,
Tags and drafts receive a sign.
The stable path now guards each gate.

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #253. They remove jq from PREPARE and FINALIZE, use Node 24 for JSON parsing and fail-closed type validation, preserve release semantics, and add contracts against jq reintroduction or weakened predicates.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are within scope. Workflow parsing updates, release-policy contract tests, and the postgres env reformat support or preserve the stated release workflow objectives. No unrelated functional changes are shown.

- Line 648: Update the release-policy contract around the pattern checks in the
FINALIZE command validation so the GitHub Release JSON.parse assignment and its
tagName, isDraft, and isPrerelease predicates must occur within the same Node
command. Add a mutation fixture that replaces this JSON.parse assignment with a
literal value object, and ensure the contract rejects it rather than allowing
independent matches from unrelated commands to satisfy the checks.
