Auto-cut Arduino releases on merge to main#751
Merged
Conversation
release.yml cuts a patch release on every merge to main: it bumps library.properties via an auto-opened-and-merged bump PR (main is protected, so the bump can't be pushed directly), creates the plain-tag GitHub release the Arduino Library Manager picks up, then dispatches the Godot addon build at the new tag to attach amy-godot-addon.zip. Fully GITHUB_TOKEN-based, no PAT: workflow_dispatch is the one event the built-in token can trigger, so the Godot zip still attaches without needing a PAT-pushed tag. GITHUB_TOKEN merges don't re-trigger workflows, so the bump merge can't loop; a [skip release] marker is belt-and-suspenders. Requires the org-level "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" setting (now enabled for shorepine). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Cuts a GitHub release on every merge to

The bump can't be pushed straight tomain— it's a protected branch (PR required,enforce_adminson) — so this mirrors the manualclaude/bump-*flow used for every release to date.1.2.8, nov— Arduino requires this format).godot-addon.ymlat the new tag soamy-godot-addon.zipstill attaches.Design notes

Nothing to renew.GITHUB_TOKENdon't re-trigger workflows, so the bump merge can't re-fire this workflow.

Merging this PR is itself a merge to
main, so it will immediately cut1.2.8as the first auto-release. To skip a release for any future merge, put[skip release]in the merge commit message.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
