Closes #263

Type

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

Summary

Extract protected stable FINALIZE into a testable forward-only reconciler and close every gap found by the architecture audit before another publication attempt.

Root cause and audit

Run 33277675880 failed with exit 128 before external mutation because annotated tags were created without Git identity.

The audit also found that stable FINALIZE stripped scoped Nx project names, lacked post-verification for tags/Releases, handled npm eventual consistency only after publication, and had no runtime failure/replay harness.

Changes

  • Delegate FINALIZE to executable scripts/release-finalize-stable.sh.
  • Configure Git identity before annotated tag creation.
  • Preserve exact @effectify/... Nx project names.
  • Collect, atomically push, and post-verify seven annotated tags peeled to the exact SHA.
  • Collect/create and post-verify seven non-draft, non-prerelease Releases.
  • Reconcile npm with bounded reads before conflict classification and after publish.
  • Fail closed on divergent manifests, SHA, tags, Releases, npm latest, auth, or unknown remote state.
  • Never repair, delete, retarget, unpublish, or modify alpha/beta.
  • Add the runtime harness to CI and adapt mutation-resistant policy contracts to the extracted script.

Runtime harness

The hermetic fake-PATH harness executes the real shell script with fake git, gh, npm, pnpm, and sleep. It covers:

  • all-missing convergence and all-existing zero-mutation replay;
  • identity/SHA failures before mutation;
  • before/after failures at every mutable command position;
  • atomic-push response loss with exact postcondition recovery;
  • partial/lightweight/divergent tags;
  • partial/draft/prerelease/divergent Releases and unknown gh states;
  • partial npm publication at every package position and subset replay;
  • eventual visibility, exhaustion, and permanent latest divergence;
  • exact scoped project names, duplicate 0.5.12 independence, and Solid 0.5.13;
  • byte-identical alpha and beta snapshots.

Verification

  • Runtime harness: 52/52 twice, zero failures/cancellations/skips.
  • Combined runtime/static/consolidation: 94/94.
  • Shell syntax and Ruby Psych passed.
  • Nx affected test/typecheck/lint/build passed.
  • Repository format and diff checks passed.
  • Five files changed: +248/−112.

Safety

  • No Nx release lifecycle command ran locally.
  • No workflow dispatch, tag, GitHub Release, npm publication, or dist-tag mutation occurred during implementation.
  • The seven stable targets remain absent after failed run 33277675880.
  • Another FINALIZE requires separate exact-SHA human authorization after this PR merges and post-merge checks pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Release Process

    • Improved stable release finalization with automated validation of package versions, tags, GitHub Releases, and npm publication status.
    • Added bounded retries and convergence checks to safely handle temporary registry visibility issues.
    • Supports resuming partially completed releases without duplicating existing actions.
  • Testing

    • Added comprehensive coverage for successful, interrupted, invalid, and authentication-related release scenarios.
    • Strengthened release policy validation and workflow safeguards, including checks for inconsistent release state and recovery from interrupted operations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The stable FINALIZE logic now runs from a standalone reconciliation script. The script validates repository, manifest, npm, tag, and Release state, repairs only missing state, and polls for npm convergence. Runtime and static tests cover replay, failures, malformed state, and workflow integration.

Changes

Stable release finalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Finalize script validation and workflow wiring
.github/workflows/release-stable.yml, scripts/release-finalize-stable.sh
The workflow delegates FINALIZE processing to a strict shell script. The script validates the expected SHA, seven package manifests, npm state, annotated tags, and stable Releases.
Forward-only reconciliation mutations
scripts/release-finalize-stable.sh
The script creates and verifies missing tags and Releases, publishes only missing projects, and retries npm reads until all expected versions are latest.
Hermetic runtime reconciliation harness
scripts/release-finalize-stable.test.mjs, .github/workflows/ci.yml
The harness runs the real script with fake command implementations and tests convergence, replay, failure injection, malformed state, npm visibility, and CI execution.
Combined workflow and script policy contracts
scripts/release-policy-contract.test.mjs
Static contracts now validate the workflow and extracted script together. Mutation cases cover weakened validation, unsafe tag or Release handling, publish scope, and retry settings.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7b692

Stable release finalization now reconciles Git tags, GitHub Releases, and npm publication forward-only; if a run is interrupted after creating a local annotated tag but before pushing, retrying in the same checkout rejects that retained tag instead of converging. Normal fresh-job retries avoid this, so the PR is mergeable with owner awareness of this bounded recovery limitation.

A rabbit checks each tag in line
Seven names match, seven versions shine
Missing bits hop forward with care
npm clouds clear in the release air
Replays leave the garden bare

Explanation

The changes satisfy the coding objectives in issue #263. They extract stable FINALIZE reconciliation into a repository script, add exact-SHA and manifest validation, preserve scoped project names, reconcile tags, GitHub Releases, and npm state with bounded retries, fail closed on divergence, and add hermetic runtime and contract coverage wired into CI.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed files support issue #263. The workflow delegation, finalization script, runtime harness, and contract-test updates directly implement or validate the stable FINALIZE reconciliation requirements. No unrelated code changes are identified.

Inline comments:
In `@scripts/release-finalize-stable.sh`:
- Line 33: Update the status handling around npm_state at both retry sites so
status 3 is treated as a transient stale latest value and retried using the
existing bounded deadline; preserve immediate handling for other statuses and
report divergence only when status 3 persists after the deadline.

In `@scripts/release-finalize-stable.test.mjs`:
- Line 75: Update the mismatch test loop around kind, s, and writeFileSync to
replace the comma expression with explicit statements: keep the identity branch
unchanged, and add an else block that assigns s[kind] before calling
writeFileSync with the serialized state. Preserve the existing assertions and
test behavior.

In `@scripts/release-policy-contract.test.mjs`:
- Line 593: Update finalizeBody to inline activeFinalize instead of
finalizeScript, so the release-policy contract validates the comment-stripped,
currently active FINALIZE script and cannot pass when required commands are only
present in comments.
