📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe release workflow now resolves and pins one commit, supports milestone versions, validates and reuses built distributions, publishes versioned and final Docker images, aggregates release artifacts, and triggers downstream workflows after release completion. ChangesRelease workflow
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The release workflow improves commit pinning and artifact reuse, but it can still promote prerelease builds through latest tags, publish inconsistent release metadata, and allow package or runtime failures to pass incomplete validation. These issues should be resolved before release automation is merged. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🔴 Incorrect product name: THUNDER must be ThunderID (or the appropriate template placeholder for the file type). Bare thunder/Thunder/THUNDER is not an accepted short form of the product name.
The secret reference secrets.THUNDER_AUTOMATION_BOT uses the bare product name. Rename the secret to THUNDERID_AUTOMATION_BOT in the repository settings, then update this reference and the other reference at line 1390.
As per path instructions, "Scan every changed line for the bare word thunder, Thunder, or THUNDER where it is not immediately followed by id, Id, or ID".

Guard the latest retag on non-prerelease runs.
This step moves ${IMAGE_NAME}:latest for every run, and lines 1307-1308 do the same for ${COMPOSE_IMAGE}:latest. The run can be a prerelease: line 1271 marks the GitHub release with needs.resolve.outputs.prerelease, and the new milestone bump type at line 37 produces -mN versions. A milestone run therefore repoints the two references that users resolve at a prerelease build, while the GitHub release itself stays flagged as a prerelease.
Gate both steps on the prerelease flag.

Purpose
A release could not be reliably built or verified from an arbitrary branch, and the jobs in a single run did not agree on which commit they were operating on.
The integration test action checked out a ref of its own. Composite actions referenced as
uses: ./...are resolved out of$GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so that checkout replaced the workspace in the middle of the job and discarded whatever the caller had put there. The practical result was that the integration suite ran against sources from one commit while testing a distribution built from another, and the mismatch was silent.The product was also compiled more times than necessary. The
buildjob produced a coverage-instrumented native binary that was never released,build-and-packagecompiled the five real distributions, anddocker buildxthen compiled the Go binary and the frontend twice more, once per platform, from source.Two ordering problems made a failed release leave published state behind. The version bump was committed and pushed to the release branch before the pipeline had passed, and
:latestwas pushed in the samedocker buildxinvocation as the versioned tag, so it moved before the git tag or the GitHub release existed.Approach
One commit, pinned up front. A new
resolvejob checks out thebranchinput, recordsgit rev-parse HEADas an immutable SHA, and exposes it as an output. Every other job checks out that SHA rather than the branch name, then assertsgit rev-parse HEADmatches it and fails loudly otherwise. Commits pushed to the branch mid-run are therefore ignored by every build and test job. The resolved commit is written to the run summary.The composite no longer checks out.
.github/actions/run-integration-testshad its checkout and itsrefinput removed, and its callers already check out the sources themselves. A pre-flight gate inresolvethen refuses to proceed when the pinned commit carries a version of any composite action this workflow depends on that is missing, does not declare the inputs being passed, or still contains its ownactions/checkout. That turns a silent mid-job workspace swap into a failure before anything is built.One build, consumed everywhere.
buildproduces the five real distribution archives and uploads them asproduct-distribution. Integration tests, the Windows validation, the CLI gate and the container images all download that artifact instead of rebuilding. The integration job records the name and SHA-256 of the archive it is testing in the run summary, so the artifact under test is auditable.Container images are assembled, not recompiled.
.github/docker/Dockerfile.releaseunpacks the already published Linux archives for the target architecture and copies them into the runtime stage. Extraction runs on$BUILDPLATFORMso no QEMU emulation is involved, and the twodeployment.yamledits are applied to the packaged file. The image therefore contains the exact bytes that were tested and released. The rootDockerfileis functionally unchanged, still builds from source formake docker-build*, and gains a comment naming the release Dockerfile since the two share a runtime stage that has to be kept in sync.Publishing happens last, in order.
docker-imagespushes only the versioned tag. Thereleasejob commits and pushes the version bump, creates the tag, publishes the GitHub release, and only then re-points:latestwithdocker buildx imagetools create, which moves the tag to the already published manifest without rebuilding anything. The compose package is published after that, because the compose file resolveslatest.Related Issues
