feat(release): manual on-demand binary release trigger (Path B)#390
Merged
Conversation
release-plz can only version the 2 publishable leaf libs (uffs-time/ uffs-text) — it physically cannot see changes to uffs-cli/core/daemon/… (their cargo package cannot resolve unpublished internal deps), so it never drives binary releases. Decouple the two cadences: - BINARY release = manual on-demand. New `just release-pr [level]` bumps the lockstep workspace version via cargo set-version, refreshes the lockfile, and opens a release/vX.Y.Z PR; after squash-merge, `just release-tag` creates the signed vX.Y.Z tag -> release.yml builds the 15-platform binaries. Sole owner of the version number; restores the pre-R5 just-ship model without resurrecting the deleted ~1430 LOC. - crates.io publishing = release-plz, demoted to workflow_dispatch-only (push: main trigger disabled BY DESIGN). A normal merge triggers no release. Leaf-lib publishing is manual/occasional. Kept: R1 commit hooks, R2 git-cliff changelog, R7 dormant OIDC job, release.yml. Documented as a Path B row in release-automation-plan §8. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Path B — decouple binary release from crates.io publishing
Problem: release-plz only bumps the version when a publishable crate changes, and the only publishable crates are the 2 dependency-free leaves (
uffs-time/uffs-text). So a change touffs-cli/uffs-core/uffs-daemon/… never triggers a version bump or a binary build. This is structural — release-plz computes versions bycargo package-ing each tracked crate, which hard-fails for any crate with a versioned path-dep on an unpublished crate. The pre-R5 "touch anything → bump → binaries" model silently became "touch a leaf lib → bump."Fix: decouple the two release cadences.
1. Binary release = manual on-demand (sole version owner)
just release-pr [patch|minor|major]— bumps the lockstep[workspace.package].versionviacargo set-version, refreshes the lockfile, opens arelease/vX.Y.ZPR.just release-tag— after squash-merge, creates the signedvX.Y.Ztag →release.ymlbuilds the 15-platform binaries.just shipmodel without resurrecting the ~1430 LOC R5 deleted (justcargo set-version+ two thin recipes).2. crates.io publishing = release-plz, demoted
push: branches: [main]trigger disabled by design (nowworkflow_dispatch-only). release-plz no longer auto-drives anything; it's a manual helper for the 2 leaf libs.mainnow triggers no release — manual-on-demand by design, not the "nothing happened" bug.Kept intact
