Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds a manually triggered release workflow. It resolves one draft release, validates and tests the provider, builds and signs artifacts with GoReleaser, and conditionally uploads and publishes the release. ChangesRelease workflow
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The release workflow currently uses mutable third-party action tags in a privileged publishing job, so an upstream tag change could execute unreviewed code with repository write access and release-signing credentials; it also still permits building artifacts from a commit not bound to the draft release. These issues make the PR unsafe to merge until fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 56-87: Update the four uses entries in the release
workflow—actions/checkout, actions/setup-go, crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg, and
goreleaser/goreleaser-action—to reviewed full immutable commit SHAs instead of
version tags, preserving their current action versions and behavior.
- Around line 103-108: Update the gh release upload invocation to include the
--clobber option, allowing reruns to replace existing deterministically rebuilt
assets while preserving the current asset list and repository target.
- Around line 41-62: Update the draft-release creation to pass github.sha as
target_commitish, then modify the Resolve pending draft release step to retrieve
and output the draft’s targetCommitish alongside its tag. Use that immutable SHA
for actions/checkout and create the local GoReleaser tag from the checked-out
target commit, keeping the draft release and build bound to the same commit.
- Around line 56-59: Update the actions/checkout step in the release workflow to
set persist-credentials to false while retaining fetch-depth: 0, preventing the
write-capable GitHub token from being persisted for later steps.

.github/workflows/release.yml
Publishes the release drafted by draft-release.yml: resolve the pending draft, create a local never-pushed tag so GoReleaser can resolve the version, vet/test, GPG-sign, then upload the zips, SHA256SUMS(.sig) and Registry manifest to the draft and un-draft it — un-drafting creates the tag the Registry ingests. Decisions: - runs on github.token with permissions: contents: write, so releasing needs no credentials beyond the repo itself - the signing key is read from environment secrets GPG_PRIVATE_KEY / GPG_PASSPHRASE on a new `release` environment, which gates who can release - draft-release.yml is kept as-is: it is the producer half of the flow, and release.yml hard-fails without a pending draft - exactly one draft must exist, and the release is pinned to the built commit before un-drafting, so the signed checksums always describe the tag's tree. Publishing to the Registry is irreversible - --clobber on upload so a re-run after a partial upload replaces assets instead of failing - the manifest is staged outside the dry_run guard, so a dry run catches drift between the copied asset name and its SHA256SUMS entry - third-party actions pinned by commit and GoReleaser pinned to 2.17.1: archive and checksum naming is load-bearing for Registry ingestion Requires the `release` environment, carrying the Registry-registered signing key, to exist before the first run.

Decisions: - Review feedback: keep the draft lookup in one language instead of gh plus three jq passes - github.paginate drops the implicit 30-item cap of `gh release list`, so an older draft cannot be missed - Pinned to the v9 major tag like the other first-party actions; SHA pins here cover third-party ones only

Motivation
Releases of this provider are currently published from outside the repository. This moves publishing into the repo itself, next to the code it ships and next to the
draft-release.ymlthat already lives here.Doing so removes the need for any cross-repository credentials — the workflow runs on the built-in
GITHUB_TOKEN— and makes the whole release path readable in one place.Changes
Adds
.github/workflows/release.yml, dispatched manually with adry_runtoggle. It:draft-release.yml, requiring exactly one to exist;go vetandgo test -race, withterraforminstalled so the acceptance tests actually run rather than silently skipping;goreleaser release --clean --skip=publish,announce— build, archive, checksum and sign only;SHA256SUMS,SHA256SUMS.sigand the Registry protocol manifest to the draft;Notable decisions:
releaseenvironment, as the environment secretsGPG_PRIVATE_KEYandGPG_PASSPHRASE, rather than as repo secrets — an environment can gate who is allowed to release, a repo secret cannot. It must be the key registered with the Terraform Registry, or the Registry rejects the version'sSHA256SUMS.sig.draft-release.ymlis kept as-is. It is the producer half of the flow;release.ymlhard-fails without a pending draft. Keeping the two separate preserves the window to review and edit the generated notes before anything is public.target_commitishis a branch name, so un-drafting would otherwise tag whatever the default branch pointed at then — the signed checksums could describe a different tree than the tag. Publishing to the Registry is irreversible.--clobberon upload, so a re-run after a partially failed upload replaces assets instead of failing on every retry.dry_runguard. GoReleaser records that file's hash inSHA256SUMSunder the asset name used here, so a dry run must fail if the two ever drift apart.2.17.1. One of them receives the signing key, and GoReleaser's archive/checksum naming is load-bearing for Registry ingestion.How to test
Blocked until the
releaseenvironment exists on this repo withGPG_PRIVATE_KEYandGPG_PASSPHRASEpopulated; that is being provisioned separately.dry_run: true. It should resolve the pendingv0.1.1draft, build every target, sign the checksums, stage the manifest, and stop before uploading.dist/contains one zip per platform, plusSHA256SUMS,SHA256SUMS.sigandterraform-provider-mailtrap_<version>_manifest.json.dry_run: falseto publishv0.1.1, then confirm the tag points at the built commit and the Terraform Registry ingests the version.Summary by CodeRabbit
