ci: add release-please workflow - #668
Conversation
Automate version bumps, changelog generation, and release PRs from Conventional Commits on main, matching the setup added to crs-toolchain. Uses a GitHub App token (RELEASE_PLEASE_CLIENT_ID / RELEASE_PLEASE_APP_PRIVATE_KEY) instead of GITHUB_TOKEN, so the release tag it creates triggers the existing tag-triggered goreleaser workflow (GITHUB_TOKEN-authored pushes never trigger other workflows). skip-github-release leaves goreleaser as the sole creator of the actual GitHub Release. Job permissions are read-only: the real release path's writes go through the App token's own scoped permissions, not the job's GITHUB_TOKEN, which only the dry-run preview step uses. Manifest seeded at 2.5.0, the current latest tag. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

"go" has no effect over "simple" here: its only extra behavior is an optional version-file updater we don't configure, so it changes nothing for this repo. Matches go-ftw's config (coreruleset/go-ftw#668).

- Line 6: Update the release-please configuration by removing
skip-github-release so release-please creates the v* tag required by the
existing release workflow. Do not add a separate tagging mechanism unless it is
necessary to preserve that trigger idempotently.

Same fix as coreruleset/crs-toolchain#330: skip-github-release skips manifest.createReleases() entirely, and that's the only place release-please creates a tag -- it's a side effect of the GitHub "create release" API call, not a separate step. With it set, release-please would merge the version PR but never push the v* tag the goreleaser workflow triggers on. Removing it does not conflict with goreleaser: when a release already exists for the tag (created by release-please), goreleaser's default createOrUpdateRelease finds it and updates it in place with the built artifacts, rather than failing.
