ci: repair prerelease publication

[AnuradhaKaruppiah]

Overview

Repairs beta/RC publication so release branches keep stable base versions while tag workflows stamp prerelease metadata only in disposable workflow checkouts.

The v0.2.0-rc.1 Rust workflow called the project-wide version setter, which unnecessarily entered Python locking and failed because the publication checkout did not contain the Hermes submodule. The TypeScript workflow correctly produced tag-time metadata changes, then rejected those expected changes with git diff --exit-code.

Where should the reviewer start?

Start with .github/workflows/publish_rust.yml and the new set-cargo-version recipe in justfile, then review .github/workflows/publish_typescript.yml and the clarified prerelease model in RELEASING.md.

Details

• Add a narrow Cargo-only tag-time version setter that avoids unrelated Python and TypeScript locking.
• Shell-quote release tag inputs before Just interpolates them into publication commands.
• Allow expected TypeScript manifest and lockfile changes in the disposable publication checkout.
• Publish Rust crates with the stamped lockfile and wait up to two minutes for the core crate to become registry-visible before publishing the dependent CLI crate.
• Document that release branches retain stable versions such as 0.2.0; RC-specific versions and internal pins are derived from tags and are never committed.

Validation

• just --fmt --check
• Release tag normalization/version tests: 23 passed
• Release tag interpolation regression tests: 14 targeted tests passed across the new quoting coverage and tag normalizer
• cargo check --workspace --locked
• Core crate cargo publish --dry-run --locked --no-verify --allow-dirty after disposable RC2 stamping
• Python release build after disposable RC2 stamping
• Node 22 TypeScript generation, tests, type check, dependency check, audit, pack, and consumer smoke test after disposable RC2 stamping
• just docs (passes; expected Fern authentication warning skips redirect validation)
• Pre-commit workflow lint and copyright checks on all changed files
• Rust, Python, and Node attribution checks; dependency-license diff showed no changes

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Release Process

  • Improved Rust package publishing reliability with locked dependency checks and availability verification before dependent releases.
  • Added dedicated Cargo version management for release workflows.
  • Refined prerelease and release-tag handling for beta and RC versions.
  • Improved release command safety when processing tag values.

• Documentation

  • Updated release guidance to clarify stable versions, prerelease metadata, and tag-based workflows.

Walkthrough

Release automation separates Cargo versioning from TypeScript metadata updates. Rust publishing uses locked dependencies and waits for crates.io visibility. Release documentation defines stable and prerelease version handling. Just recipes quote release-tag values.

Changes

Release pipeline

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cargo versioning and publication justfile, .github/workflows/publish_rust.yml, tests/scripts/test_justfile_release_tag_quoting.py	The set-cargo-version recipe updates Cargo workspace metadata and Cargo.lock. Rust publishing uses --locked and polls crates.io after publishing nemo-fabric-core. Regression tests cover release-tag interpolation.
Release version contract and workflow alignment RELEASING.md, .github/workflows/publish_typescript.yml, justfile	Release guidance separates stable base versions from prerelease tag versions and validates RC base versions. TypeScript publishing no longer checks for manifest changes after version updates. Just recipes quote release-tag values.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 77bd4

The PR limits prerelease version changes to disposable publication checkouts and updates Rust and TypeScript release handling without changing committed stable versions. Merge readiness is otherwise strong, with only a bounded test-validation follow-up: one negative test should confirm the expected error message so unrelated command failures cannot appear valid.

Do not add @pytest.mark.asyncio to any test. Async tests are automatically detected and run by the async runner; the decorator is unnecessary clutter.
Do not add a -> None return type annotation to test functions. This is not a common convention in pytest and adds unnecessary verbosity.
When mocking a class, do not define a new class. Use unittest.mock.MagicMock or unittest.mock.AsyncMock, with the spec constructor argument when necessary.
The name of the mocked class should be prefixed with mock, not fake.
Prefer pytest fixtures over helper methods.
Do not repeat fixtures, if a fixture is needed in multiple test files, place it in a conftest.py file.
Prefer pytest.mark.parametrize over creating individual tests for
different input types.
If a fixture is needed for a test, but either does not return a value or the value is not used in the test, use the @pytest.mark.usefixtures decorator.
Avoid defensive programming in tests. If a test fails, it should fail loudly and clearly, rather than silently passing due to defensive checks.

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (.agents/skills/review-doc-style/assets/nvidia-style-guide.md)

**/*.{md,mdx,rst}: For NeMo Fabric documentation, verify technical claims against the current repository, public API, or documented command before reviewing style.
Always spell NVIDIA in all caps; do not use Nvidia, nvidia, or NV.
Format commands, code elements, expressions, package names, file names, and paths as inline code.
Use descriptive link text; avoid raw URLs and weak anchors such as here or read more.
Use title case consistently for technical documentation headings.
Introduce code blocks, lists, tables, and images with complete sentences.
Write procedures as imperative, parallel steps; split long procedures into smaller tasks.
Prefer active voice, present tense, short sentences, contractions, and plain English while preserving necessary technical precision.
Use can for possibility and reserve may for permission.
Use after for temporal relationships instead of once, and prefer refer to over see when directing readers to another resource.
Avoid culture-specific idioms, unnecessary Latinisms, jokes, and marketing exaggeration in technical documentation.
Spell out months in body text, avoid ordinal dates, and use clear time zones.
Spell out whole numbers from zero through nine unless they are technical values, parameters, versions, or UI values; use numerals for 10 or greater and commas in thousands.
Do not add trademark symbols to learning-oriented documentation unless the source, platform, or legal guidance explicitly requires them.
Do not replace precise technical terms with simpler words when doing so would lose precision.
Do not flag passive voice when the actor is unknown or the action is the important part.
Do not rewrite API names, package names, command flags, or code literals for style.

Prefer the documented public API over internal shortcuts in documentation and examples.

**/*.{md,rst,txt,adoc}

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (.agents/skills/review-doc-style/assets/nvidia-style-language-mechanics.md)

**/*.{md,rst,txt,adoc}: For technical documentation, use professional, active, conversational, engaging, precise, and plain-English prose. Prefer active voice, present tense, short sentences, and scannable paragraphs. Avoid casual or imprecise language, swearing, threats, insults, jokes, puns, culture-specific idioms, marketing exaggeration, and unsupported third-party comparisons.
Use can for possibility and reserve may for permission; use after for temporal order; use refer to for cross-references; prefer short direct sentences and specific verbs; avoid unnecessary please in technical documentation.
Prefer active voice when the actor matters. Passive voice is acceptable when the actor is unknown or irrelevant, when the action or result is the focus, or in programmer documentation.
Use natural contractions in conversational technical prose, but do not force them in formal legal copy, API references, or generated text.
Prefer simpler English over Latinisms: use for example or such as instead of e.g., and so on instead of etc., that is instead of i.e., compared to instead of vs., and by, through, or using instead of via. Use industry-standard terms such as in silico, in vitro, and in vivo when appropriate, and italicize them in running text.
Use that without commas for essential clauses, and which with commas for nonessential clauses.
Format dates and times clearly: spell out months in body text; use forms such as June 12, 2025; avoid numeric or ordinal dates; capitalize days; use 12-hour time when appropriate; include a space before a.m. or p.m.; use ET and PT for needed time zones; avoid 24/7; and prefer from 12:30 to 1:00 p.m. for prose ranges.
Format numbers consistently: spell out zero through nine in body text, use numerals for 10 or greater and for technical values, use commas in thousands, do not begin a sentence with a numeral, spell out ordinals, and use numerals consistently within a category wh...

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (.agents/skills/review-doc-style/assets/nvidia-style-technical-docs.md)

**/*.md: Use title case consistently in technical documentation headings.
Avoid quotation marks, ampersands, and exclamation marks in headings.
Keep product, event, research, and whitepaper names in their official title case.
Use title case for table headers.
Do not force social-media sentence case into technical docs.
Introduce every code block with a complete sentence.
Do not make a code block complete the grammar of the previous sentence.
Do not continue a sentence after a code block.
Use syntax highlighting when the format supports it.
Avoid the word "snippet" unless the surrounding docs already use it as a term of art.
Use descriptive anchor text that matches the destination title when possible.
Avoid raw URLs in running text.
Avoid generic anchors such as "here," "this page," and "read more."
If a linked term includes an acronym, include the acronym in the link text.
Do not link long sentences or multiple sentences.
All lists should have:
A complete lead-in sentence.
More than one item.
No more than two levels.
Parallel sentence construction.
One idea or action per item.
End punctuation when list items are complete sentences.
Use bulleted lists when order does not matter. Use numbered lists when order matters or the list is a task sequence.
Definition lists should use a bold term followed by a complete definition. Keep definitions parallel and punctuated.
Use tables for reference information, decision support, compatibility matrices, and choices that readers compare.
Write steps as imperative sentences.
Keep one action per step when possible.
Keep numbered procedures to about five to seven steps. Split longer sequences into smaller tasks.
Use subheadings to separate tasks or phases.
Avoid deep nesting. If a step needs several substeps, it probably needs its own procedure.
Bold UI labels, buttons, menus, and field names.
Use angle brackets for consecutive UI navigation, such as File > Open.
Match UI text exactly, including capitalization.
Do not rewri...

The RC stable-base check and workflow-specific versioning steps match the current release workflows. No documentation change is required.

[AjayThorve]

Reviewed at 77bd4e0. The narrowed Cargo version stamping fixes the failed Rust publish without entering Python locking; the npm change permits the expected disposable metadata update; quoting prevents tag interpolation. Focused local validation passed, including Cargo RC stamping/check/package flow, TypeScript package tests, and release-tag quoting tests.
