ci: generate filtered notes in signed releases - #1149
The signed manual release pipeline on master already creates immutable GitHub releases with signed assets and retained-state recovery. This PR adds generated release notes to that pipeline and filters support-only PRs with the shared omit-from-release-notes label.
New drafts request generated notes alongside the existing asset-verification instructions. After a tag lookup returns 404, a paginated release listing finds any matching draft so reruns resume its uploads and preserve its notes. Existing published notes are also preserved. Signing, release credentials, test-skip inputs, PyPI hash checks, publication order and recovery behavior remain those of the existing signed pipeline. The older App-based candidate and publication path has been removed from this PR.
Use stock actions/labeler with one conservative filename union and sync-labels: true. Documentation, tests and explicitly listed support-only files qualify only when all reported filenames match. Runtime code, runtime dependency manifests, packaging/build inputs, required release gates, unknown files and mixed changes stay visible. README.rst remains visible because it supplies package metadata. Classification uses the stock action directly, without a custom guard, checkout, or additional Node dependencies. Maintainers review rename origins and correct labels before releasing.
Labeling runs on PR updates and close/merge events, with manual PR-number dispatch for merged-PR backfills. Before releasing, maintainers classify relevant merged PRs and verify their labels against fresh metadata and file lists. Publication remains asynchronous; automated release-time classification synchronization is excluded, including later cycles and resumes. Missing manual verification can leave incorrect omissions or unwanted support entries in published notes.
The repository-local Jira caller skips add/remove events for the exact omission label and preserves other events. Shared Jira automation and existing copies are outside this change. Driver APIs, wire protocol and runtime dependencies are unchanged.
After the release workflow succeeds, maintainers still publish a community-forum release announcement manually.
Validation
uv run --no-sync pytest -rf tests/unit/test_release_helpers.py: 14 passed.
Four checks against the pinned stock labeler action passed: support-only labeling, stale-label removal, pagination, trusted configuration lookup, and shipped-input exclusions.
actionlint for the changed workflows and git diff --check: passed.
Common requirement
All non-Rust, non-matrix repositories in repo_list must create GitHub releases automatically as part of their release process and support the shared omit-from-release-notes PR label.
Use actions/labeler with repository-specific filename rules to apply that label only when all reported changed filenames match documentation, tests/test fixtures, CI/CD, or development-only housekeeping. Mixed PRs with nonmatching files must remain visible. Runtime sources, runtime dependency manifests, and packaging/build inputs must not qualify merely because of the PR author, title, or a broad chore or dependencies label.
Set sync-labels: true to remove the exclusion label when filename rules stop matching. Run labeling on PR updates and merge events, and provide manual dispatch with a PR number for previously merged PRs. Generated release notes must exclude PRs carrying omit-from-release-notes.
Pre-review checklist
I have split my patch into logically separate commits.

All commits compile, pass static checks and pass test.
PR description sums up the changes and reasons why they should be introduced.
I have provided docstrings for the public items that I want to introduce.
I have adjusted the documentation in ./docs/source/.
I added appropriate Fixes: annotations to PR description.
Maintainer instructions are in CONTRIBUTING.rst and scripts/release/README.md.
Decisions
Choice: Keep release publication asynchronous and preserve already published release notes. Before a release, maintainers manually verify the release-note classification and labels for the relevant merged PRs. Automated release-time classification synchronization is excluded from this PR, including later review cycles and resumes. Missing the manual check can leave omissions or unwanted support entries in published notes; no follow-up synchronization is scheduled.
Choice: Use stock actions/labeler directly for release-note classification with sync-labels enabled and manual PR-number dispatch. Remove the custom guard, its Node dependencies, dedicated tests and test workflow. Maintainers inspect rename origins and correct labels before releasing.
Superseded by direct stock labeler classification
Choice: Keep actions/labeler for release-note classification. Check renamed files' previous paths and incomplete or changing file listings where needed. Attempt to remove an unverified omission label after failed or skipped classification to keep confirmed production changes visible. These safeguards do not guarantee cleanup during API outages or atomic classification.
- **Choice:** Only explicitly support-only .github paths qualify for release-note omission. Workflows and scripts that select, build, or publish driver distributions remain visible; unknown .github paths remain visible. Documentation-site publication, including docs-pages.yml and docs/_utils/deploy.sh, counts as support-only. This preserves the PR's conservative packaging and build-input exclusion. Source: https://github.com//pull/1149#discussion_r4371335583
- **Choice:** Skip repository-local Jira synchronization for labeled and unlabeled events for the exact omit-from-release-notes label. Preserve all other Jira events. This label controls GitHub release-note presentation. Do not change shared automation or clean existing Jira copies; other sync paths may restore copied metadata.
Superseded decision (replaced by b39cdd313b4e5040827d)
- **Choice:** CONTRIBUTING.rst lists .gitignore and .gitattributes explicitly and points to .github/labeler.yml for the exact release-note omission allowlist. Source: https://github.com//pull/1149#issuecomment-6403753196
- **Choice:** Keep driver API documentation unchanged. GitHub and create_release are internal release-workflow helpers; importing create_release in regression tests does not introduce a supported driver API. Source: https://github.com//pull/1149#issuecomment-6403755034
Superseded decision (replaced by d11e21f4bd01b4cc4600)
Choice: For uploads that can create a GitHub release, fail when a distribution file already exists on PyPI. Create new GitHub notes only after the upload succeeds. Partial or complete prior uploads can stop even same-source retries and require manual recovery. Preserve duplicate tolerance for unrelated branch uploads. This PR does not add durable provenance verification or an atomic PyPI/GitHub transaction.
Superseded decision (replaced by 68d6f566ab155cea0547)
Choice: Start release publication only by manual dispatch with a new version. Prepare a version commit on a candidate branch. Require wheel builds and tests, reactor integration tests, and the external driver matrix to pass against that exact commit before atomically advancing the default branch and creating the annotated release tag. Tag and branch pushes do not publish distributions. PyPI publication and GitHub release creation follow in the same manual run.
Superseded by the signed release pipeline
Choice: Keep default GITHUB_TOKEN permissions read-only for release workflows. Use repository-scoped scylladb-releaser App tokens with Contents write access for candidate commits, default-branch and tag publication, and GitHub release creation. Grant id-token: write only to the PyPI publication job.
Superseded decision (replaced by 0b90c82a730ec372cdd6)
Choice: Fail all release uploads when a distribution file already exists on PyPI. Create new GitHub notes only after the upload succeeds. Partial or complete prior uploads can stop even same-source retries and require manual recovery. Branch builds no longer upload distributions. This PR does not add durable provenance verification or an atomic PyPI/GitHub transaction.
Superseded by the signed release pipeline
Choice: Keep the pre-release matrix checkout unchanged for the current manual release path. Manual dispatch accepts only a version, and the matrix receives the version-only candidate SHA prepared from a clean checkout of the current default branch. Accepting arbitrary caller-supplied revisions requires a separate trust assessment. Source: ci: generate filtered notes in signed releases #1149 (comment)
- **Choice:** Remove README.rst from the release-note omission allowlist because it supplies package metadata. Keep README-only documentation PRs visible in release notes.
Superseded by the signed release pipeline
Choice: Before each release upload, check intended artifact filenames against PyPI's release inventory and stop on any overlap, regardless of file contents. Fail closed on transport errors, non-404 HTTP errors, and malformed inventory. Keep skip-existing: false. Prior uploads detected by this check require manual recovery, including same-source retries. Concurrent uploads or stale inventory can still let identical retries succeed. Create new GitHub notes only after a successful upload. Branch builds do not upload distributions. Add no automatic reuse of prior uploads, durable provenance verification, or atomic PyPI/GitHub transaction.
Superseded decision (replaced by 68d6f566ab155cea0547)
Choice: Allow manual release dispatch only for the next patch, minor, or major version relative to the current driver version. Increment patch by one, or increment minor by one and reset patch to zero, or increment major by one and reset minor and patch to zero. Reject every other version before candidate preparation. Keep canonical X.Y.Z input and add no override or skip input. This blocks deliberate version skips and unusual release sequences; a typo equal to an allowed successor can still pass.

Walkthrough
The changes add pull-request classification for release-note omission and automate GitHub release creation for release tags. Build workflows resolve one source commit and pass its SHA to release creation. The release script validates tags and source commits, checks existing releases, and requests generated release notes. Tests and contributor documentation cover these processes.

classify has only the labeler step, so a failed or skipped action never attempts to remove an
existing omit-from-release-notes label. When a previously support-only pull request gains a
production file and its next classification fails, the old label remains effective until someone
corrects it manually.
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
A failed or skipped labeler run leaves a previously applied omission label in place even when the pull request has gained production changes.
## Fix Focus Areas
- .github/workflows/label-release-notes.yml[23-32]
## Recommended Fix
Give the labeler step an ID and add a subsequent cleanup step that runs when classification did not succeed. Have it attempt to remove only `omit-from-release-notes` from the targeted pull request; retain manual verification for outages or cancellation that prevent cleanup.

View medium (2) 2. Large mixed pull requests lose release notes 🐞 Bug
Description
The all-globs-to-all-files rule can accept an incomplete file list because the workflow does not
compare the returned files with the pull request’s total changed-file count. If a pull request has
more than 3,000 files and its returned files are support-only while an unreturned file changes
production code, the omission label can be applied and the production change excluded from generated
notes.
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
The labeler can classify only the files returned by GitHub, whose pull-request-files endpoint is capped at 3,000 entries. A support-only returned subset can therefore hide a production file.
## Fix Focus Areas
- .github/workflows/label-release-notes.yml[26-32]
- .github/labeler.yml[1-4]
## Recommended Fix
Before allowing the omission label, compare a fresh paginated file list with the pull request's changed-file count. If the inventory cannot be proved complete, do not apply the label and attempt to remove any existing omission label.

3. Documentation deployments vanish from notes 🐞 Bug
Description
The support-only glob in .github/labeler.yml includes both docs/_utils/deploy.sh and
.github/workflows/docs-pages.yml, which build or publish the production documentation site. A PR
changing only either path can receive omit-from-release-notes, even though the signed release
pipeline invokes that deployment workflow after publication.
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
The omission allowlist treats the production documentation deployment workflow and its deployment script as support-only, hiding changes to release-time publishing behavior from generated notes.
## Fix Focus Areas
- .github/labeler.yml[1-4]
- .github/tests/release-notes-guard.test.cjs[79-105]
## Recommended Fix
Remove `docs-pages.yml` from the support-only union and narrow the `docs/**` pattern so `docs/_utils/deploy.sh` does not qualify. Update the guard and stock-labeler tests to assert that changes to either deployment input remain visible, including when mixed with documentation files.

support_path() treats every .github/ file as support-only, including the workflow that selects
source commits and builds published wheels and source distributions. A PR changing that workflow can
receive omit-from-release-notes, causing generated notes to exclude a change that affects shipped
artifacts.
test_request_is_public_release_specific_and_bounded compares the read limit with
release.MAX_INVENTORY_BYTES instead of a literal. When the production limit changes, the assertion
follows it and the test can still pass without detecting a changed external size contract.
3. Release test reuses implementation file list✓ Resolved
test_preparation_pushes_only_bot_version_commit_and_no_final_tag compares the changed-file set
with release.VERSION_FILES instead of spelling out the expected paths. If the implementation list
changes, this assertion changes with it and no longer protects the release candidate's file-change
contract.
4. A completed upload can leave no job to retry✓ Resolved
The recovery instructions say to retry the failed GitHub-release job after confirming a complete
upload, but that job is skipped when publish fails. If PyPI receives every file before the upload
action reports failure, there is no failed release job in the original run to retry, while rerunning
the upload encounters the duplicate-file restriction.
The new github-release job runs after any successful publish job, but publish also accepts
branch refs whose names end in scylla. When a push to a branch such as branch-feature-scylla
publishes successfully, the release job passes that branch name to create_release(), which rejects
it because it is not a version tag.
6. Runtime removals vanish from release notes✓ Resolved
The all-globs-to-all-files rule checks a renamed file’s reported destination but has no check for
its previous path, which the removed classifier required. Renaming a runtime file such as
cassandra/pool.py into docs/ can therefore apply the omission label even though the PR removes
production code, and generated release notes exclude PRs with that label.
7. Expected label checks change with code⊘ Outdated
Description
test_release_notes.py imports LABEL from the implementation and reuses it in assertions for
label creation, removal, and lookup. When the implementation constant changes, these tests adopt the
new value instead of detecting a changed label contract across the classifier tests.
8. Release helpers lack public API docs⊘ Outdated
Description
GitHub, support_path, support_only, classify, and create_release are exported without
underscore prefixes or public API documentation. They are introduced as callable module-level
interfaces and imported by the regression tests, so later callers can rely on names whose intended
stability and usage are undocumented.
pull_request_target omits the edited event, so changing a PR’s base branch does not invoke
classify(). If retargeting changes its file diff from support-only to mixed, the old omission
label remains until another subscribed event or manual run, and generated notes exclude the PR.

support_path, support_only, and classify have been removed. GitHub and create_release are internal release-workflow implementation in .github/scripts/release_notes.py; the regression test imports create_release to test that tooling. No supported driver API is introduced, so the driver API documentation is unchanged.
Keeping the configured-limit assertion. MAX_INVENTORY_BYTES is an internal tuning value; the required behavior is a bounded read and rejection above that configured cap. The existing test checks both behaviors and fails if the bounded read or oversized-response rejection is removed. There is no fixed 4 MiB external size guarantee to preserve here, so the expectation should continue tracking the configured cap.
Documentation deployment is intentionally part of the documentation/support-only policy: docs/** and docs-pages.yml qualify. The release workflow invokes that job only after publish has succeeded; it builds the documentation site and pushes gh-pages. These paths do not select, build, sign or publish the driver distributions, and they are not prerequisites for their publication. The exclusion for artifact publication and required release gates therefore keeps the signed release pipeline visible while retaining the documented treatment of documentation-only changes.
The classifier intentionally uses stock actions/labeler directly. A failed run can leave a stale omission label, and GitHub’s 3,000-file response limit can make classification incomplete for a very large PR. Custom cleanup and completeness checks are outside the chosen scope. Before publishing, maintainers must review the relevant PRs and their labels, remove an omission label when production changes or incomplete evidence make classification unsafe, and rerun failed classification as appropriate. CONTRIBUTING.rst documents the manual release check; publication does not wait for classification.
The documentation-deployment finding is covered by the previous reply: documentation-site changes qualify under the documentation/support policy. Distribution builds and required release gates remain visible.

Summary
The signed manual release pipeline on master already creates immutable GitHub releases with signed assets and retained-state recovery. This PR adds generated release notes to that pipeline and filters support-only PRs with the shared
omit-from-release-noteslabel.New drafts request generated notes alongside the existing asset-verification instructions. After a tag lookup returns 404, a paginated release listing finds any matching draft so reruns resume its uploads and preserve its notes. Existing published notes are also preserved. Signing, release credentials, test-skip inputs, PyPI hash checks, publication order and recovery behavior remain those of the existing signed pipeline. The older App-based candidate and publication path has been removed from this PR.
Use stock
actions/labelerwith one conservative filename union andsync-labels: true. Documentation, tests and explicitly listed support-only files qualify only when all reported filenames match. Runtime code, runtime dependency manifests, packaging/build inputs, required release gates, unknown files and mixed changes stay visible.README.rstremains visible because it supplies package metadata. Classification uses the stock action directly, without a custom guard, checkout, or additional Node dependencies. Maintainers review rename origins and correct labels before releasing.Labeling runs on PR updates and close/merge events, with manual PR-number dispatch for merged-PR backfills. Before releasing, maintainers classify relevant merged PRs and verify their labels against fresh metadata and file lists. Publication remains asynchronous; automated release-time classification synchronization is excluded, including later cycles and resumes. Missing manual verification can leave incorrect omissions or unwanted support entries in published notes.
The repository-local Jira caller skips add/remove events for the exact omission label and preserves other events. Shared Jira automation and existing copies are outside this change. Driver APIs, wire protocol and runtime dependencies are unchanged.
After the release workflow succeeds, maintainers still publish a community-forum release announcement manually.
