• File docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-30-cross-repo-release-automation.md — part of check-in [6273a0750d] at 2026-07-22 23:03:24 on branch trunk — fix: correct go.mod module path to go-libfossil (#76) (#117)

  * fix: correct go.mod module path to go-libfossil (#76)

  The module directive still declared github.com/danmestas/libfossil after the repository was renamed to go-libfossil. pkg.go.dev/godoc scraping matches the declared module path against its hosting path, so the stale path broke SDK doc generation.

  Rename the module path across all four in-repo modules (root, the two db/driver submodules, observer/otel, and docs/site) and every internal import, plus the release workflow, the doc-generation script, and the docs.

  No tag has been published under the go-libfossil path yet, so the cross-module requires cannot resolve from the proxy. Add replace directives pointing the in-repo requires at their local directories so GOWORK=off builds and the CI matrix resolve without a published version. These replaces are ignored by downstream consumers and can be dropped once new-path tags are cut.

  * Guard releases against replace directives; regenerate SDK docs

  The go-libfossil rename bridges the in-repo modules with `replace` directives. Go refuses a main module that carries them, so a tag cut while they are present breaks `go install .../cmd/libfossil@<tag>` and every `@version` fetch of the driver submodules. Add a Release workflow step that fails the job before anything is published if any tracked go.mod still contains a replace directive, so the bridge is a CI-enforced TODO rather than a silent landmine. The step comment records what unblocks a release: re-tag the submodules with the corrected module paths, bump the root requires, then drop the replace blocks.

  Regenerate the SDK reference docs. The previous pass only substituted URLs over the pre-existing generated files, leaving stale signatures (Repo.Timeline was still documented as taking LogOpts rather than TimelineOpts). Note that gomarkdoc must be run outside a git worktree — inside one it silently strips every source link.

  Also reword the README rename note, which read as though the import path had not changed, and re-sort the ncruces require block. (user: [email protected], size: 68981) [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using]

# Cross-repo release automation Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Automate the libfossil → edgesync → bones release cascade. After all 6 PRs ship: tagging libfossil triggers an auto-bump PR in edgesync; merging + tagging edgesync triggers the same in bones. Each repo also gets a verbatim CI mirror (`make ci`), a fast pre-push hook (`make ci-fast`), and a `make release VERSION=...` helper.

**Architecture:** GitHub `repository_dispatch` chain with linear graph (libfossil dispatches only to edgesync; edgesync dispatches only to bones). Receiver workflow (`bump-upstream.yml`) is shared shape across edgesync and bones with a single `EXPECTED_REPO` env var distinguishing them. Local dev surface is per-repo Makefile targets and `.githooks/pre-push` (using existing `git config core.hooksPath .githooks` pattern).

**Tech Stack:** GitHub Actions, GoReleaser v2 (edgesync, bones only), `gh` CLI, GNU make, bash, Go 1.26.

**Spec:** [`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-30-cross-repo-release-automation-design.md`](../specs/2026-04-30-cross-repo-release-automation-design.md)

## Phase 0: Prerequisites (one-time, before PR #4 merges)

These steps are manual and produce no commits. Complete them between PR #3 merge and PR #4 PR-open so dispatch tokens are in place when needed.

- [ ] **Step 0.1: Generate `DISPATCH_PAT` for libfossil → EdgeSync**

Open https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new in a browser. Configure:
- Token name: `libfossil-dispatch-to-edgesync`
- Expiration: 1 year
- Resource owner: `danmestas`
- Repository access: "Only select repositories" → select `danmestas/EdgeSync`
- Repository permissions: `Contents: Read and write`, `Metadata: Read-only` (Metadata is auto-required)

Generate token, copy it, then:

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil
gh secret set DISPATCH_PAT --body "<paste-token-here>"
```

Verify:
```bash
gh secret list | grep DISPATCH_PAT
```
Expected: `DISPATCH_PAT  Updated <date>`

- [ ] **Step 0.2: Generate `DISPATCH_PAT` for edgesync → bones**

Same flow, configure:
- Token name: `edgesync-dispatch-to-bones`
- Resource owner: `danmestas`
- Repository access: `danmestas/bones` only
- Permissions: `Contents: Read and write`, `Metadata: Read-only`

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync
gh secret set DISPATCH_PAT --body "<paste-token-here>"
```

Verify:
```bash
gh secret list | grep DISPATCH_PAT
```
Expected: `DISPATCH_PAT  Updated <date>`

- [ ] **Step 0.3: Note rotation reminder**

Add a calendar reminder for ~10 months from today (2027-02-28) to rotate both PATs before the 1-year expiry hits.

## Phase 1: PR #1 — bones local dev hygiene

**Repo:** `/Users/dmestas/projects/bones`
**Branch:** `chore/local-dev-hygiene`
**Files added:** `.githooks/pre-push`, `.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`
**Files modified:** `Makefile`

### Task 1.0: Branch setup

- [ ] **Step 1.0.1: Create feature branch**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/bones
git fetch origin
git checkout main
git pull --ff-only origin main
git checkout -b chore/local-dev-hygiene
```

Expected: switched to a new branch.

### Task 1.1: Add `make ci` target

bones' CI workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) runs the discipline suite via `make check` (fmt-check + vet + lint + race + todo-check), then otel-tagged build, then otel-tagged short tests. The cross-repo leaf-binary integration step (sibling EdgeSync checkout + `make leaf`) is **CI-only** and intentionally not mirrored locally — it requires a sibling working directory layout that doesn't generalize.

**Files:** Modify `Makefile`

- [ ] **Step 1.1.1: Append `ci` target to Makefile**

Append to the end of `/Users/dmestas/projects/bones/Makefile`:

```makefile

# CI mirror — runs the bones-side portion of .github/workflows/ci.yml.
# Cross-repo leaf-binary integration (requires sibling EdgeSync checkout)
# is CI-only and not mirrored here.
.PHONY: ci ci-fast
ci:
	$(MAKE) check
	go build -tags=otel ./...
	go test -tags=otel -short ./... -count=1

# Fast subset for pre-push hook (~30-60s; no make check, no -tags=otel, no -race).
ci-fast:
	go vet ./...
	go build ./...
	go test -short -count=1 -timeout=30s ./...
```

Also add `ci ci-fast` to the `.PHONY` line at the top if there's a single combined `.PHONY:` declaration. If multiple `.PHONY:` lines exist (as currently), the new line above is sufficient.

- [ ] **Step 1.1.2: Run `make ci` to verify it passes**

```bash
make ci
```
Expected: exits 0. (May take 1-3 min.)

- [ ] **Step 1.1.3: Run `make ci-fast` to verify it passes and is fast**

```bash
time make ci-fast
```
Expected: exits 0 in under 60s.

- [ ] **Step 1.1.4: Commit**

```bash
git add Makefile
git commit -m "feat(make): add ci and ci-fast targets

ci mirrors .github/workflows/ci.yml verbatim (-tags=otel -short).
ci-fast runs vet + build + short tests (~60s) for pre-push hook."
```

### Task 1.2: Add `make release VERSION=...` target

**Files:** Modify `Makefile`

- [ ] **Step 1.2.1: Append release target to Makefile**

Append to `/Users/dmestas/projects/bones/Makefile`:

```makefile

.PHONY: release
release:
	@test -n "$(VERSION)" || { echo "VERSION=vX.Y.Z required"; exit 1; }
	@echo "$(VERSION)" | grep -qE '^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(-.+)?$$' || { echo "bad version format: $(VERSION)"; exit 1; }
	@git diff --quiet || { echo "tree dirty; commit or stash first"; exit 1; }
	@git fetch origin --tags
	@if git rev-parse "$(VERSION)" >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "tag $(VERSION) already exists"; exit 1; fi
	@$(MAKE) ci
	@PREV=$$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo ""); \
	  TMPL=.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md; \
	  TMP=$$(mktemp); \
	  { echo "Release $(VERSION)"; echo; \
	    [ -f $$TMPL ] && { cat $$TMPL; echo; }; \
	    echo "## Changes"; \
	    if [ -n "$$PREV" ]; then git log --oneline $$PREV..HEAD; else git log --oneline; fi; } > $$TMP; \
	  $${EDITOR:-vi} $$TMP; \
	  git tag -a "$(VERSION)" -F $$TMP; \
	  rm $$TMP
	@echo ""
	@echo "Tag $(VERSION) created locally. To publish:"
	@echo "  git push origin $(VERSION)"
```

- [ ] **Step 1.2.2: Verify the target rejects bad input**

```bash
make release          # missing VERSION
```
Expected: exits 1 with "VERSION=vX.Y.Z required".

```bash
make release VERSION=foo
```
Expected: exits 1 with "bad version format: foo".

- [ ] **Step 1.2.3: Verify the target works on a test version (without committing the tag)**

```bash
make release VERSION=v9.9.9-test EDITOR=true
```
(Sets `EDITOR=true` so the no-op editor command exits cleanly without prompting.)
Expected: tag created locally. Verify:

```bash
git tag -l 'v9.9.9*'
git tag -d v9.9.9-test
```
Expected: tag listed, then deleted.

- [ ] **Step 1.2.4: Commit**

```bash
git add Makefile
git commit -m "feat(make): add release VERSION=... helper

Validates clean tree, runs make ci, opens \$EDITOR with auto-populated
tag annotation template (.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md + git log since
prev tag), creates annotated tag locally. Push is intentionally manual."
```

### Task 1.3: Add `setup-hooks` target

bones doesn't have one yet. Use the same `core.hooksPath .githooks` pattern that libfossil and edgesync use.

**Files:** Modify `Makefile`

- [ ] **Step 1.3.1: Append setup-hooks target**

Append to `/Users/dmestas/projects/bones/Makefile`:

```makefile

.PHONY: setup-hooks
setup-hooks:
	git config core.hooksPath .githooks
	@echo "Git hooks configured to use .githooks/ directory."
	@echo "Pre-push runs make ci-fast (~60s). Skip with: git push --no-verify"
```

- [ ] **Step 1.3.2: Verify (without running it yet — pre-push file doesn't exist)**

```bash
grep -A 3 'setup-hooks' Makefile
```
Expected: shows the new target.

- [ ] **Step 1.3.3: Commit**

```bash
git add Makefile
git commit -m "feat(make): add setup-hooks target

Configures git core.hooksPath to .githooks/ directory.
Matches the pattern already used in libfossil and edgesync."
```

### Task 1.4: Create `.githooks/pre-push`

**Files:** Create `.githooks/pre-push`

- [ ] **Step 1.4.1: Create the directory and file**

```bash
mkdir -p /Users/dmestas/projects/bones/.githooks
```

Create `/Users/dmestas/projects/bones/.githooks/pre-push` with content:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Pre-push hook — runs `make ci-fast` (~60s) to catch obvious breakage
# before pushing. Mirrors a fast subset of GitHub CI.
#
# Skip with: git push --no-verify

set -e
echo "[pre-push] running make ci-fast..."
cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
make ci-fast
```

- [ ] **Step 1.4.2: Make executable**

```bash
chmod +x /Users/dmestas/projects/bones/.githooks/pre-push
```

- [ ] **Step 1.4.3: Test the hook directly**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/bones
./.githooks/pre-push
```
Expected: prints `[pre-push] running make ci-fast...`, runs ci-fast, exits 0.

- [ ] **Step 1.4.4: Wire it up by running setup-hooks**

```bash
make setup-hooks
git config core.hooksPath
```
Expected: prints `.githooks`.

- [ ] **Step 1.4.5: Verify hook fires on push (dry run)**

Make a trivial change so push has work to do:
```bash
echo "" >> .githooks/pre-push   # add trailing newline
git add .githooks/pre-push
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push --dry-run -u origin chore/local-dev-hygiene 2>&1 | head -5
```
Expected: see `[pre-push] running make ci-fast...` in output.

- [ ] **Step 1.4.6: Commit the hook**

```bash
git add .githooks/pre-push
git commit -m "feat: add pre-push hook running make ci-fast

Catches obvious breakage (vet errors, build break, short test failures)
before push. ~60s. Skip with: git push --no-verify"
```

### Task 1.5: Create `.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`

**Files:** Create `.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`

- [ ] **Step 1.5.1: Create the file**

Write to `/Users/dmestas/projects/bones/.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`:

```markdown
<!-- Edit before tagging. The `make release` target appends `git log --oneline` since the previous tag below this template, then opens $EDITOR. Save and quit to create the annotated tag. -->

## Highlights

-

## Breaking changes

None.

## Upgrade notes

-
```

- [ ] **Step 1.5.2: Verify `make release` picks up the template**

```bash
make release VERSION=v9.9.9-test EDITOR=cat
```
Expected: prints "Release v9.9.9-test", then the template, then "## Changes" and a commit list.

Cleanup:
```bash
git tag -d v9.9.9-test
```

- [ ] **Step 1.5.3: Commit**

```bash
git add .github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md
git commit -m "feat: add release annotation template

Used by 'make release VERSION=...' as the body skeleton for annotated tags."
```

### Task 1.6: Open PR

- [ ] **Step 1.6.1: Push branch**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/bones
git push -u origin chore/local-dev-hygiene
```

- [ ] **Step 1.6.2: Open PR**

```bash
gh pr create --title "chore: add local dev hygiene targets and pre-push hook" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- Add `make ci` (verbatim mirror of `.github/workflows/ci.yml`)
- Add `make ci-fast` (vet+build+short tests, ~60s for pre-push)
- Add `make release VERSION=...` helper with annotated tag template
- Add `make setup-hooks` (matches libfossil/edgesync pattern)
- Add `.githooks/pre-push` running `make ci-fast`
- Add `.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md` boilerplate

No remote behavior change. Lays groundwork for the upstream-bump
workflow in PR #4 and for consistent release ergonomics.

## Test plan
- [x] `make ci` exits 0 on a clean main
- [x] `make ci-fast` runs in <60s
- [x] `make release VERSION=v9.9.9-test EDITOR=true` validates and creates a local tag, then deleted
- [x] `make setup-hooks` configures `core.hooksPath` to `.githooks/`
- [x] `git push --dry-run` triggers the pre-push hook
- [x] `make release` rejects bad version formats and missing VERSION

Spec: see libfossil docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-30-cross-repo-release-automation-design.md
EOF
)"
```
Expected: PR URL printed.

- [ ] **Step 1.6.3: Wait for CI to pass on the PR, then run local CI again**

```bash
gh pr checks --watch
```
Wait for green. Then on local main:
```bash
git checkout main
make ci
```
Expected: exits 0 (still passes locally — sanity check before merge).

- [ ] **Step 1.6.4: User reviews and merges**

User performs the merge manually per CLAUDE.md ("wait for me to merge"). After merge:

```bash
git checkout main
git pull --ff-only origin main
git branch -d chore/local-dev-hygiene
git push origin --delete chore/local-dev-hygiene
```

## Phase 2: PR #2 — edgesync local dev hygiene

**Repo:** `/Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync`
**Branch:** `chore/local-dev-hygiene`
**Files added:** `.githooks/pre-push`, `.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`
**Files modified:** `Makefile`

### Task 2.0: Branch setup

- [ ] **Step 2.0.1: Create feature branch**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync
git fetch origin
git checkout main
git pull --ff-only origin main
git checkout -b chore/local-dev-hygiene
```

### Task 2.1: Inspect edgesync's CI workflows for the verbatim ci command

edgesync has both `ci.yml` and `test.yml`. Read them to extract the exact `run:` blocks:

- [ ] **Step 2.1.1: Read CI workflow**

```bash
cat /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.github/workflows/ci.yml
cat /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.github/workflows/test.yml
```

Note the exact commands. Per Explore snapshot, ci.yml runs:
- `go vet ./...`
- `cd leaf && go vet ./...`
- `cd ../bridge && go vet ./...`
- `cd leaf && go test ./... -short -count=1 &`
- `cd bridge && go test ./... -short -count=1 &`
- `go build -buildvcs=false ./cmd/edgesync/`
- `go test -buildvcs=false ./cmd/edgesync/ -count=1 -timeout=60s`

And test.yml adds the sim/ tests. The make ci target should mirror **ci.yml only** (sim/ DST is its own thing run separately by `test.yml`; if a `test-sim` target makes sense, add it as well).

If actual workflow content differs from the Explore snapshot, use the actual workflow content as the source of truth.

### Task 2.2: Add `ci` and `ci-fast` targets

**Files:** Modify `Makefile`

- [ ] **Step 2.2.1: Append ci targets to Makefile**

Append to `/Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/Makefile` (preserving existing content):

```makefile

# CI mirror — must match .github/workflows/ci.yml verbatim.
.PHONY: ci ci-vet ci-leaf-bridge ci-cmd ci-fast

ci: ci-vet ci-leaf-bridge ci-cmd

ci-vet:
	go vet ./...
	cd leaf && go vet ./...
	cd bridge && go vet ./...

ci-leaf-bridge:
	cd leaf && go test ./... -short -count=1
	cd bridge && go test ./... -short -count=1

ci-cmd:
	go build -buildvcs=false ./cmd/edgesync/
	go test -buildvcs=false ./cmd/edgesync/ -count=1 -timeout=60s

# Fast subset for pre-push hook.
ci-fast:
	go vet ./...
	go build ./...
	go test -short -count=1 -timeout=30s ./...
```

Note: `ci-leaf-bridge` runs leaf and bridge tests sequentially; ci.yml runs them in background (`&`) which is a parallelism trick that doesn't translate cleanly to make. Sequential is acceptable for local mirror.

- [ ] **Step 2.2.2: Run `make ci`**

```bash
make ci
```
Expected: exits 0.

- [ ] **Step 2.2.3: Run `make ci-fast`**

```bash
time make ci-fast
```
Expected: exits 0 in <60s.

- [ ] **Step 2.2.4: Commit**

```bash
git add Makefile
git commit -m "feat(make): add ci and ci-fast targets

ci mirrors .github/workflows/ci.yml verbatim (vet + leaf/bridge tests + cmd build/test).
ci-fast runs vet + build + short tests (~60s) for pre-push hook."
```

### Task 2.3: Add `make release VERSION=...` target

**Files:** Modify `Makefile`

- [ ] **Step 2.3.1: Append release target**

Append to `/Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/Makefile` (use the same recipe as bones Step 1.2.1 — repeating verbatim):

```makefile

.PHONY: release
release:
	@test -n "$(VERSION)" || { echo "VERSION=vX.Y.Z required"; exit 1; }
	@echo "$(VERSION)" | grep -qE '^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(-.+)?$$' || { echo "bad version format: $(VERSION)"; exit 1; }
	@git diff --quiet || { echo "tree dirty; commit or stash first"; exit 1; }
	@git fetch origin --tags
	@if git rev-parse "$(VERSION)" >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "tag $(VERSION) already exists"; exit 1; fi
	@$(MAKE) ci
	@PREV=$$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo ""); \
	  TMPL=.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md; \
	  TMP=$$(mktemp); \
	  { echo "Release $(VERSION)"; echo; \
	    [ -f $$TMPL ] && { cat $$TMPL; echo; }; \
	    echo "## Changes"; \
	    if [ -n "$$PREV" ]; then git log --oneline $$PREV..HEAD; else git log --oneline; fi; } > $$TMP; \
	  $${EDITOR:-vi} $$TMP; \
	  git tag -a "$(VERSION)" -F $$TMP; \
	  rm $$TMP
	@echo ""
	@echo "Tag $(VERSION) created locally. To publish:"
	@echo "  git push origin $(VERSION)"
```

- [ ] **Step 2.3.2: Verify rejection paths**

```bash
make release          # missing VERSION
make release VERSION=foo
```
Expected: each exits 1 with the appropriate error.

- [ ] **Step 2.3.3: Verify success path on test version**

```bash
make release VERSION=v9.9.9-test EDITOR=true
git tag -d v9.9.9-test
```
Expected: tag created, then deleted.

- [ ] **Step 2.3.4: Commit**

```bash
git add Makefile
git commit -m "feat(make): add release VERSION=... helper

Validates clean tree, runs make ci, opens \$EDITOR with auto-populated
tag annotation template, creates annotated tag locally. Push is intentionally manual."
```

### Task 2.4: Create `.githooks/pre-push`

edgesync already has `.githooks/` configured (existing `setup-hooks` target sets `core.hooksPath`). Just add the pre-push file.

**Files:** Create `.githooks/pre-push`

- [ ] **Step 2.4.1: Verify .githooks dir exists**

```bash
ls /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.githooks/
```
Expected: lists existing hooks (likely `pre-commit`). If dir doesn't exist, `mkdir -p` first.

- [ ] **Step 2.4.2: Create pre-push file**

Write to `/Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.githooks/pre-push`:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Pre-push hook — runs `make ci-fast` (~60s) to catch obvious breakage
# before pushing. Mirrors a fast subset of GitHub CI.
#
# Skip with: git push --no-verify

set -e
echo "[pre-push] running make ci-fast..."
cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
make ci-fast
```

- [ ] **Step 2.4.3: Make executable**

```bash
chmod +x /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.githooks/pre-push
```

- [ ] **Step 2.4.4: Test the hook directly**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync
./.githooks/pre-push
```
Expected: prints message, runs ci-fast, exits 0.

- [ ] **Step 2.4.5: Verify core.hooksPath is set (existing setup-hooks)**

```bash
git config core.hooksPath
```
Expected: prints `.githooks`. If not, run `make setup-hooks`.

- [ ] **Step 2.4.6: Commit**

```bash
git add .githooks/pre-push
git commit -m "feat: add pre-push hook running make ci-fast

Catches obvious breakage before push. ~60s. Skip with: git push --no-verify"
```

### Task 2.5: Create `.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`

- [ ] **Step 2.5.1: Create file**

Write to `/Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md` (same content as bones — repeating verbatim):

```markdown
<!-- Edit before tagging. The `make release` target appends `git log --oneline` since the previous tag below this template, then opens $EDITOR. Save and quit to create the annotated tag. -->

## Highlights

-

## Breaking changes

None.

## Upgrade notes

-
```

- [ ] **Step 2.5.2: Commit**

```bash
git add .github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md
git commit -m "feat: add release annotation template

Used by 'make release VERSION=...' as the body skeleton for annotated tags."
```

### Task 2.6: Open PR

- [ ] **Step 2.6.1: Push and PR**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync
git push -u origin chore/local-dev-hygiene
gh pr create --title "chore: add local dev hygiene targets and pre-push hook" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- Add `make ci` (mirrors `.github/workflows/ci.yml` verbatim)
- Add `make ci-fast` (vet+build+short tests, ~60s for pre-push)
- Add `make release VERSION=...` helper
- Add `.githooks/pre-push` (existing core.hooksPath already configured)
- Add `.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`

No remote behavior change. Sets up local dev surface to match libfossil
and bones; lays groundwork for upstream-bump workflow in PR #5.

## Phase 3: PR #3 — libfossil local dev hygiene

**Repo:** `/Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil`
**Branch:** `chore/local-dev-hygiene`
**Files added:** `.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`
**Files modified:** `Makefile`

> **Deliberate deviation from PR #1/#2 (decided 2026-04-30, option A):** libfossil's existing `.githooks/pre-commit` is comprehensive (~45s — modernc + ncruces + vet + otel + build + SDK drift) and already exceeds what `make ci-fast` would do. So PR #3 does **not** add a `pre-push` hook and does **not** add a `ci-fast` Makefile target. libfossil uses its existing pre-commit as the sole local gate; `make ci` is for manual full-CI verification before tagging. **Tasks 3.3 (pre-push hook) and the `ci-fast` recipe in Task 3.1 below are obsolete and were not implemented.** PR #19 (merged 2026-04-30) shipped only `ci`/`ci-default`/`ci-ncruces`/`ci-otel-target` + `release` + RELEASE_TEMPLATE.

> **Multi-module note for any future libfossil pre-push:** libfossil has 3 sub-modules with their own `go.mod` (`db/driver/modernc/`, `db/driver/ncruces/`, `observer/otel/`). `go test ./...` from repo root does not descend into them. Any future `make ci-fast` would need explicit `cd <subdir> && go test -short ./...` per sub-module — same gap edgesync hit and fixed.

libfossil has the most complex `make ci` because its CI runs three jobs: default driver (modernc), ncruces driver, and otel.

### Task 3.0: Branch setup

- [ ] **Step 3.0.1: Create feature branch**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil
git fetch origin
git checkout main
git pull --ff-only origin main
git checkout -b chore/local-dev-hygiene
```

### Task 3.1: Add `make ci` target (verbatim mirror of test.yml)

libfossil's `test.yml` has two driver jobs (modernc default, ncruces) plus an otel job. The existing `test`, `test-drivers`, `test-otel` targets in the Makefile do **not** use `GOWORK=off`; the CI workflow does. So we add a new `ci` target rather than aliasing.

**Files:** Modify `Makefile`

- [ ] **Step 3.1.1: Append ci targets to Makefile**

Append to `/Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil/Makefile`:

```makefile

# CI mirror — must match .github/workflows/test.yml verbatim.
# Note: GOWORK=off is critical; the existing test/test-drivers/test-otel
# targets do NOT use it but CI does, leading to historical drift.
.PHONY: ci ci-default ci-ncruces ci-otel-target ci-fast

ci: ci-default ci-ncruces ci-otel-target

ci-default:
	GOWORK=off go test $$(GOWORK=off go list ./... | grep -v '/dst') -count=1 -timeout=120s
	GOWORK=off go test ./dst/... -count=1 -timeout=300s
	cd db/driver/modernc && GOWORK=off go test ./... -count=1
	GOWORK=off go vet ./...
	GOWORK=off go build ./cmd/libfossil/

ci-ncruces:
	GOWORK=off go test -tags test_ncruces $$(GOWORK=off go list ./... | grep -v '/dst' | grep -v 'cmd/libfossil') -count=1 -timeout=120s
	GOWORK=off go test -tags test_ncruces ./dst/... -count=1 -timeout=300s
	cd db/driver/ncruces && GOWORK=off go test ./... -count=1

ci-otel-target:
	cd observer/otel && GOWORK=off go test ./... -count=1

# Fast subset for pre-push hook (~30-60s).
ci-fast:
	GOWORK=off go vet ./...
	GOWORK=off go build ./cmd/libfossil/
	GOWORK=off go test -short -count=1 -timeout=30s $$(GOWORK=off go list ./... | grep -v '/dst')
```

Note: target name is `ci-otel-target` not `ci-otel` to avoid potential collision with the existing `test-otel` shape if the Makefile evolves.

- [ ] **Step 3.1.2: Run `make ci-default`**

```bash
make ci-default
```
Expected: exits 0.

- [ ] **Step 3.1.3: Run `make ci-ncruces`**

```bash
make ci-ncruces
```
Expected: exits 0.

- [ ] **Step 3.1.4: Run `make ci-otel-target`**

```bash
make ci-otel-target
```
Expected: exits 0.

- [ ] **Step 3.1.5: Run `make ci-fast`**

```bash
time make ci-fast
```
Expected: exits 0 in <60s.

- [ ] **Step 3.1.6: Commit**

```bash
git add Makefile
git commit -m "feat(make): add ci and ci-fast targets

ci mirrors .github/workflows/test.yml verbatim across all three jobs:
  ci-default     — modernc driver tests + DST + vet + cmd build
  ci-ncruces     — ncruces driver tests with -tags test_ncruces
  ci-otel-target — observer/otel tests

All use GOWORK=off (matching CI). Existing test/test-drivers/test-otel
targets are left alone — they don't use GOWORK=off and have drifted
from CI; ci is the single source of truth going forward.

ci-fast runs vet + build + short tests (~60s) for pre-push hook."
```

### Task 3.2: Add `make release VERSION=...` target

**Files:** Modify `Makefile`

- [ ] **Step 3.2.1: Append release target (same recipe as bones/edgesync — repeated verbatim)**

Append to `/Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil/Makefile`:

```makefile

.PHONY: release
release:
	@test -n "$(VERSION)" || { echo "VERSION=vX.Y.Z required"; exit 1; }
	@echo "$(VERSION)" | grep -qE '^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(-.+)?$$' || { echo "bad version format: $(VERSION)"; exit 1; }
	@git diff --quiet || { echo "tree dirty; commit or stash first"; exit 1; }
	@git fetch origin --tags
	@if git rev-parse "$(VERSION)" >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "tag $(VERSION) already exists"; exit 1; fi
	@$(MAKE) ci
	@PREV=$$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo ""); \
	  TMPL=.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md; \
	  TMP=$$(mktemp); \
	  { echo "Release $(VERSION)"; echo; \
	    [ -f $$TMPL ] && { cat $$TMPL; echo; }; \
	    echo "## Changes"; \
	    if [ -n "$$PREV" ]; then git log --oneline $$PREV..HEAD; else git log --oneline; fi; } > $$TMP; \
	  $${EDITOR:-vi} $$TMP; \
	  git tag -a "$(VERSION)" -F $$TMP; \
	  rm $$TMP
	@echo ""
	@echo "Tag $(VERSION) created locally. To publish:"
	@echo "  git push origin $(VERSION)"
```

- [ ] **Step 3.2.2: Verify rejection and success paths**

```bash
make release
make release VERSION=foo
make release VERSION=v9.9.9-test EDITOR=true
git tag -d v9.9.9-test
```
Expected: first two exit 1; third creates tag (after running ci which is slow — be patient or test on a smaller scope by setting EDITOR=true to skip prompt).

- [ ] **Step 3.2.3: Commit**

```bash
git add Makefile
git commit -m "feat(make): add release VERSION=... helper

Validates clean tree, runs make ci, opens \$EDITOR with auto-populated
tag annotation template, creates annotated tag locally. Push is intentionally manual."
```

### Task 3.3: Create `.githooks/pre-push`

libfossil already has `.githooks/` (existing `setup-hooks` target sets `core.hooksPath`).

- [ ] **Step 3.3.1: Verify .githooks/ exists**

```bash
ls /Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil/.githooks/
```
Expected: lists existing hooks (likely `pre-commit`).

- [ ] **Step 3.3.2: Create pre-push**

Write to `/Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil/.githooks/pre-push`:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Pre-push hook — runs `make ci-fast` (~60s) to catch obvious breakage
# before pushing. Mirrors a fast subset of GitHub CI.
#
# Skip with: git push --no-verify

set -e
echo "[pre-push] running make ci-fast..."
cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
make ci-fast
```

- [ ] **Step 3.3.3: Make executable + test directly**

```bash
chmod +x /Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil/.githooks/pre-push
./.githooks/pre-push
```
Expected: exits 0.

- [ ] **Step 3.3.4: Verify core.hooksPath set**

```bash
git config core.hooksPath
```
Expected: `.githooks`. If empty, run `make setup-hooks`.

- [ ] **Step 3.3.5: Commit**

```bash
git add .githooks/pre-push
git commit -m "feat: add pre-push hook running make ci-fast

Catches obvious breakage (vet errors, build break, short test failures)
before push. ~60s. Skip with: git push --no-verify"
```

### Task 3.4: Create `.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`

- [ ] **Step 3.4.1: Create file (same content as other repos)**

Write to `/Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil/.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`:

```markdown
<!-- Edit before tagging. The `make release` target appends `git log --oneline` since the previous tag below this template, then opens $EDITOR. Save and quit to create the annotated tag. -->

## Highlights

-

## Breaking changes

None.

## Upgrade notes

-
```

- [ ] **Step 3.4.2: Commit**

```bash
git add .github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md
git commit -m "feat: add release annotation template

Used by 'make release VERSION=...' as the body skeleton for annotated tags."
```

### Task 3.5: Open PR

- [ ] **Step 3.5.1: Push and PR**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil
git push -u origin chore/local-dev-hygiene
gh pr create --title "chore: add local dev hygiene targets and pre-push hook" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- Add `make ci` (verbatim mirror of `.github/workflows/test.yml`):
  - `ci-default` — modernc driver + DST + vet + build
  - `ci-ncruces` — ncruces driver
  - `ci-otel-target` — observer/otel tests
  All use `GOWORK=off` matching CI. Existing `test/test-drivers/test-otel`
  targets left untouched (they don't use GOWORK=off; preserved for
  alternate use cases).
- Add `make ci-fast` (vet+build+short tests, ~60s for pre-push)
- Add `make release VERSION=...` helper
- Add `.githooks/pre-push`
- Add `.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md`

No remote behavior change.

## Test plan
- [x] `make ci-default` exits 0
- [x] `make ci-ncruces` exits 0
- [x] `make ci-otel-target` exits 0

## Phase 4: PR #4 — bones receiver (`bump-upstream.yml`) + goreleaser changelog groups

**Repo:** `/Users/dmestas/projects/bones`
**Branch:** `feat/upstream-bump-receiver`
**Files added:** `.github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml`
**Files modified:** `.goreleaser.yml`

**Prerequisite:** Phase 0 (DISPATCH_PAT setup) does not need to be complete for this PR — bones is only a receiver, no PAT needed in bones itself. Phase 0 must be complete before PR #5 merges.

- [ ] **Step 4.1.2: Validate workflow syntax**

If `actionlint` is installed:
```bash
actionlint .github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml
```
Expected: no errors.

If actionlint isn't installed:
```bash
brew install actionlint   # macOS
```
Or skip locally and rely on GitHub's syntax check after push.

Also verify YAML is at least parseable:
```bash
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml'))" && echo OK
```
Expected: `OK`.

- [ ] **Step 4.1.3: Commit**

```bash
git add .github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml
git commit -m "feat(ci): add bump-upstream receiver workflow

Listens for repository_dispatch event_type=upstream-bump from EdgeSync's
release workflow. Validates payload, checks for existing open PR
(idempotency), runs go get + go mod tidy + go build, opens a chore PR.

Falls back to workflow_dispatch with the same inputs for manual recovery
if a dispatch is ever missed."
```

### Task 4.2: Add `groups:` to existing `.goreleaser.yml` changelog

**Files:** Modify `.goreleaser.yml`

- [ ] **Step 4.2.1: Read current changelog block**

```bash
grep -A 12 'changelog:' /Users/dmestas/projects/bones/.goreleaser.yml
```
Note: existing block has `sort: asc, use: github, exclude: [...]` per Explore snapshot.

- [ ] **Step 4.2.2: Modify the changelog block**

Open `/Users/dmestas/projects/bones/.goreleaser.yml`. Replace the existing `changelog:` block with:

```yaml
changelog:
  sort: asc
  use: github
  groups:
    - title: 'Features'
      regexp: '^.*?feat(\(.+\))??!?:.+$'
      order: 0
    - title: 'Bug fixes'
      regexp: '^.*?fix(\(.+\))??!?:.+$'
      order: 1
    - title: 'Other'
      order: 999
  filters:
    exclude:
      - '^docs:'
      - '^chore:'
      - '^test:'
      - '^ci:'
      - 'merge conflict'
      - 'Merge PR'
      - 'Merge branch'
```

(Adjust `filters.exclude` to match the existing block's actual exclude patterns — preserve any project-specific entries.)

- [ ] **Step 4.2.3: Validate goreleaser config**

```bash
goreleaser check
```
Expected: `config is valid`.

If goreleaser isn't installed:
```bash
brew install goreleaser
```

- [ ] **Step 4.2.4: Commit**

```bash
git add .goreleaser.yml
git commit -m "feat(release): add changelog groups (Features/Bug fixes/Other)

Replaces flat commit list with conventional-commit-grouped sections in
the auto-generated GitHub release notes."
```

### Task 4.3: Open PR

- [ ] **Step 4.3.1: Push and PR**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/bones
git push -u origin feat/upstream-bump-receiver
gh pr create --title "feat(ci): add bump-upstream receiver and changelog groups" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- Add `.github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml` — listens for repository_dispatch
  events from EdgeSync's release workflow, opens a chore PR bumping
  `github.com/danmestas/EdgeSync` to the new version. Includes payload
  validation, idempotency check, no-op detection, and workflow_dispatch
  fallback for manual triggers.
- Modify `.goreleaser.yml` — add `groups:` to changelog config so release
  notes are split into Features / Bug fixes / Other sections.

No external trigger yet — EdgeSync's dispatch step is added in PR #5.
This PR is testable by manual `gh api` fire (see "Test plan" below).

## Test plan
- [x] `actionlint` accepts the workflow
- [x] `goreleaser check` accepts the config
- [ ] After merge: manual fire test (see DEPLOY NOTES)

## Deploy notes
After merge, smoke-test the receiver:

```bash
gh api -X POST repos/danmestas/bones/dispatches \
  -f event_type=upstream-bump \

  -f client_payload[tag_sha]=$(gh api repos/danmestas/EdgeSync/git/refs/tags/v0.0.7 -q .object.sha) \
  -f client_payload[actor]=danmestas
```

Expected: `noop=true` (already pinned), no PR created. Idempotency:
re-fire same command, expect "PR already open" notice (also no PR).
Bad input test: fire with `version=vbogus`, expect workflow failure.

)"
```

- [ ] **Step 4.3.2: Wait for CI green, user merges**

```bash
gh pr checks --watch
```

User merges manually.

### Task 4.4: Post-merge smoke tests

After PR #4 merges to main:

- [ ] **Step 4.4.1: Update local main**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/bones
git checkout main
git pull --ff-only origin main
git branch -d feat/upstream-bump-receiver
git push origin --delete feat/upstream-bump-receiver
```

- [ ] **Step 4.4.2: Test no-op path (already-pinned version)**

```bash
gh api -X POST repos/danmestas/bones/dispatches \
  -f event_type=upstream-bump \
  -f client_payload[repo]=EdgeSync \
  -f client_payload[module_path]=github.com/danmestas/EdgeSync \
  -f client_payload[version]=v0.0.7 \
  -f client_payload[release_url]=https://github.com/danmestas/EdgeSync/releases/tag/v0.0.7 \
  -f client_payload[tag_sha]=$(gh api repos/danmestas/EdgeSync/git/refs/tags/v0.0.7 -q .object.sha) \
  -f client_payload[actor]=danmestas
```

Watch the run:
```bash
gh run list --workflow bump-upstream.yml --limit 1
gh run view --log $(gh run list --workflow bump-upstream.yml --limit 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId')
```

Expected: workflow succeeds with `::notice::No-op bump — version already pinned`. No PR created.

- [ ] **Step 4.4.3: Test wrong-repo path (silent ignore)**

```bash
gh api -X POST repos/danmestas/bones/dispatches \
  -f event_type=upstream-bump \
  -f client_payload[repo]=somethingelse \
  -f client_payload[module_path]=github.com/danmestas/somethingelse \
  -f client_payload[version]=v1.0.0 \
  -f client_payload[release_url]=https://example.com \
  -f client_payload[tag_sha]=deadbeef \
  -f client_payload[actor]=danmestas
```

Expected: workflow succeeds with `::notice::Ignoring dispatch for repo=somethingelse (expected EdgeSync)`. No PR created.

- [ ] **Step 4.4.4: Test bad-version path (loud failure)**

```bash
gh api -X POST repos/danmestas/bones/dispatches \
  -f event_type=upstream-bump \
  -f client_payload[repo]=EdgeSync \
  -f client_payload[module_path]=github.com/danmestas/EdgeSync \
  -f client_payload[version]=vbogus \
  -f client_payload[release_url]=https://example.com \
  -f client_payload[tag_sha]=deadbeef \
  -f client_payload[actor]=danmestas
```

Expected: workflow fails with `::error::bad version: 'vbogus'`.

- [ ] **Step 4.4.5: Test workflow_dispatch fallback (UI-driven)**

```bash
gh workflow run bump-upstream.yml \
  -f repo=EdgeSync \
  -f module_path=github.com/danmestas/EdgeSync \
  -f version=v0.0.7 \
  -f release_url=https://github.com/danmestas/EdgeSync/releases/tag/v0.0.7 \
  -f tag_sha=$(gh api repos/danmestas/EdgeSync/git/refs/tags/v0.0.7 -q .object.sha) \
  -f actor=danmestas
```

Expected: same no-op result as Step 4.4.2.

If any test fails: investigate the run log, fix the workflow on a follow-up PR before proceeding to Phase 5.

## Phase 5: PR #5 — edgesync receiver + dispatcher + changelog groups

**Repo:** `/Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync`
**Branch:** `feat/upstream-bump-and-dispatch`
**Files added:** `.github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml`
**Files modified:** `.github/workflows/release.yml`, `.goreleaser.yml`

**Prerequisite:** Phase 0 (`DISPATCH_PAT` secret in edgesync repo) must be complete before merging this PR.

### Task 5.0: Branch setup

- [ ] **Step 5.0.1: Verify Phase 0 complete**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync

```bash
git fetch origin
git checkout main
git pull --ff-only origin main
git checkout -b feat/upstream-bump-and-dispatch
```

### Task 5.1: Add `bump-upstream.yml` receiver

**Files:** Create `.github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml`

- [ ] **Step 5.1.1: Create the workflow file**

Write to `/Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml` — same structure as bones (Step 4.1.1) but with different `EXPECTED_REPO` / `EXPECTED_MODULE`:

- [ ] **Step 5.1.2: Validate**

```bash
actionlint .github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml'))" && echo OK
```
Expected: no errors; `OK`.

- [ ] **Step 5.1.3: Commit**

```bash
git add .github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml
git commit -m "feat(ci): add bump-upstream receiver workflow

Listens for repository_dispatch event_type=upstream-bump from libfossil's
release workflow. Validates payload, checks for existing open PR
(idempotency), runs go get + go mod tidy + go build, opens a chore PR.

EXPECTED_REPO=libfossil; rejects dispatches from other sources."
```

### Task 5.2: Modify `release.yml` to dispatch on tag

**Files:** Modify `.github/workflows/release.yml`

- [ ] **Step 5.2.1: Read current release.yml**

```bash
cat /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.github/workflows/release.yml
```
Note the existing job name (`release`) and last step.

- [ ] **Step 5.2.2: Append dispatch step to the release job**

Edit `/Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.github/workflows/release.yml`. Add a new step at the end of the `release` job's `steps:` list:

```yaml
      - name: Dispatch downstream bump
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DISPATCH_PAT }}
          DOWNSTREAM: bones
          MODULE_PATH: github.com/danmestas/EdgeSync
        run: |
          gh api -X POST "repos/danmestas/${DOWNSTREAM}/dispatches" \
            -f event_type=upstream-bump \
            -f client_payload[repo]=${{ github.event.repository.name }} \
            -f client_payload[module_path]=${MODULE_PATH} \
            -f client_payload[version]=${{ github.ref_name }} \
            -f client_payload[release_url]=${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}/releases/tag/${{ github.ref_name }} \
            -f client_payload[tag_sha]=${{ github.sha }} \
            -f client_payload[actor]=${{ github.actor }}
```

- [ ] **Step 5.2.3: Validate workflow**

```bash
actionlint .github/workflows/release.yml
```
Expected: no errors.

- [ ] **Step 5.2.4: Commit**

```bash
git add .github/workflows/release.yml
git commit -m "feat(ci): dispatch upstream-bump to bones on tag

After goreleaser publishes a release, fires repository_dispatch
to danmestas/bones so it can open a chore-bump PR. Uses DISPATCH_PAT
(fine-grained, scoped to bones contents:write)."
```

### Task 5.3: Add `groups:` to `.goreleaser.yml` changelog

**Files:** Modify `.goreleaser.yml`

- [ ] **Step 5.3.1: Read current changelog block**

```bash
grep -A 12 'changelog:' /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.goreleaser.yml
```

- [ ] **Step 5.3.2: Modify changelog block**

Replace the existing `changelog:` block in `/Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync/.goreleaser.yml` with:

```yaml
changelog:
  sort: asc
  use: github
  groups:
    - title: 'Features'
      regexp: '^.*?feat(\(.+\))??!?:.+$'
      order: 0
    - title: 'Bug fixes'
      regexp: '^.*?fix(\(.+\))??!?:.+$'
      order: 1
    - title: 'Other'
      order: 999
  filters:
    exclude:
      - '^docs:'
      - '^chore:'
      - '^test:'
      - '^ci:'
      - 'merge conflict'
      - 'Merge PR'
      - 'Merge branch'
```

(Preserve any project-specific `filters.exclude` patterns from the existing block.)

- [ ] **Step 5.3.3: Validate**

```bash
goreleaser check
```
Expected: `config is valid`.

- [ ] **Step 5.3.4: Commit**

```bash
git add .goreleaser.yml
git commit -m "feat(release): add changelog groups (Features/Bug fixes/Other)

Replaces flat commit list with conventional-commit-grouped sections in
the auto-generated GitHub release notes."
```

### Task 5.4: Open PR

- [ ] **Step 5.4.1: Push and PR**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync
git push -u origin feat/upstream-bump-and-dispatch
gh pr create --title "feat(ci): receive libfossil dispatches, dispatch to bones, group changelog" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- Add `.github/workflows/bump-upstream.yml` (receiver listening for libfossil dispatches)
- Modify `.github/workflows/release.yml` (dispatches to bones on tag)
- Modify `.goreleaser.yml` (group changelog into Features/Bug fixes/Other)

Requires `DISPATCH_PAT` secret already in place (Phase 0 prerequisite).

## Test plan
- [x] `actionlint` accepts both workflow files
- [x] `goreleaser check` accepts the config
- [ ] After merge: receiver smoke test via manual `gh api` fire to edgesync
- [ ] After merge: full sender test by tagging edgesync v0.0.8-rc1 and verifying bones receives a PR; close PR; delete rc tag

## Deploy notes
After merge, smoke-test the receiver:

```bash
gh api -X POST repos/danmestas/EdgeSync/dispatches \
  -f event_type=upstream-bump \
  -f client_payload[repo]=libfossil \
  -f client_payload[module_path]=github.com/danmestas/go-libfossil \
  -f client_payload[version]=v0.4.5 \
  -f client_payload[release_url]=https://github.com/danmestas/go-libfossil/releases/tag/v0.4.5 \
  -f client_payload[tag_sha]=$(gh api repos/danmestas/libfossil/git/refs/tags/v0.4.5 -q .object.sha) \
  -f client_payload[actor]=danmestas
```

Expected: noop (already pinned). Then test the sender by tagging
edgesync `v0.0.8-rc1` and watching bones open a bump PR (close PR
without merging; delete the rc tag and prerelease GitHub release).

Spec: see libfossil docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-30-cross-repo-release-automation-design.md
EOF
)"
```

- [ ] **Step 5.4.2: Wait for CI green, user merges**

```bash
gh pr checks --watch
```

User merges manually.

### Task 5.5: Post-merge smoke tests

- [ ] **Step 5.5.1: Update local main and clean branch**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync
git checkout main && git pull --ff-only origin main
git branch -d feat/upstream-bump-and-dispatch
git push origin --delete feat/upstream-bump-and-dispatch
```

- [ ] **Step 5.5.2: Test edgesync receiver with manual fire**

```bash
gh api -X POST repos/danmestas/EdgeSync/dispatches \
  -f event_type=upstream-bump \
  -f client_payload[repo]=libfossil \
  -f client_payload[module_path]=github.com/danmestas/go-libfossil \
  -f client_payload[version]=v0.4.5 \
  -f client_payload[release_url]=https://github.com/danmestas/go-libfossil/releases/tag/v0.4.5 \
  -f client_payload[tag_sha]=$(gh api repos/danmestas/libfossil/git/refs/tags/v0.4.5 -q .object.sha) \
  -f client_payload[actor]=danmestas
```

Watch:
```bash
gh run list --workflow bump-upstream.yml --limit 1
```
Expected: succeeds with no-op (libfossil v0.4.5 already pinned).

- [ ] **Step 5.5.3: Test edgesync→bones sender by tagging an rc**

Make sure tree is clean and on main:
```bash
git checkout main && git status
```

Tag and push:
```bash
git tag -a v0.0.8-rc1 -m "Test release for cascade validation"
git push origin v0.0.8-rc1
```

- [ ] **Step 5.5.4: Watch the cascade**

In one terminal:
```bash
gh run list --workflow release.yml --repo danmestas/EdgeSync --limit 1
gh run watch --repo danmestas/EdgeSync $(gh run list --workflow release.yml --repo danmestas/EdgeSync --limit 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId')
```

After release.yml completes, check bones:
```bash
gh run list --workflow bump-upstream.yml --repo danmestas/bones --limit 3
```
Expected: a recent bump-upstream run dispatched. Check it opened a PR:
```bash
gh pr list --repo danmestas/bones --state open --head 'chore/bump-EdgeSync-v0.0.8-rc1'
```
Expected: one PR.

- [ ] **Step 5.5.5: Cleanup the test cascade**

Close the test PR without merging:
```bash
gh pr close --repo danmestas/bones $(gh pr list --repo danmestas/bones --state open --head 'chore/bump-EdgeSync-v0.0.8-rc1' --json number -q '.[0].number') --delete-branch
```

Delete the rc tag locally and remotely:
```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/edgesync
git tag -d v0.0.8-rc1
git push origin --delete v0.0.8-rc1
```

Delete the prerelease GitHub release:
```bash
gh release delete v0.0.8-rc1 --yes --repo danmestas/EdgeSync
```

If any test fails: investigate, fix on a follow-up PR before proceeding to Phase 6.

---

## Phase 6: PR #6 — libfossil release.yml + dispatch to edgesync

**Repo:** `/Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil`
**Branch:** `feat/release-workflow`
**Files added:** `.github/workflows/release.yml`

This is the smallest PR but the most consequential — it creates libfossil's first-ever release pipeline.

**Prerequisite:** `DISPATCH_PAT` secret in libfossil repo (Phase 0 Step 0.1) must be in place.

### Task 6.0: Branch setup

- [ ] **Step 6.0.1: Verify Phase 0 complete for libfossil**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil
gh secret list | grep DISPATCH_PAT
```
Expected: `DISPATCH_PAT  Updated <date>`. If absent, return to Phase 0 Step 0.1.

- [ ] **Step 6.0.2: Create feature branch**

```bash
git fetch origin
git checkout main
git pull --ff-only origin main
git checkout -b feat/release-workflow
```

### Task 6.1: Create `release.yml`

**Files:** Create `.github/workflows/release.yml`

- [ ] **Step 6.1.1: Create the workflow file**

Write to `/Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil/.github/workflows/release.yml`:

- [ ] **Step 6.1.2: Validate**

```bash
actionlint .github/workflows/release.yml
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/release.yml'))" && echo OK
```
Expected: no errors; `OK`.

- [ ] **Step 6.1.3: Commit**

```bash
git add .github/workflows/release.yml
git commit -m "feat(ci): add release workflow with downstream dispatch

On tag push (v*):
  1. Create GitHub release with auto-generated notes from PRs/commits
     since previous tag. Source tarball auto-attached.
  2. Dispatch repository_dispatch event to danmestas/EdgeSync to trigger
     a chore-bump PR there.

libfossil is a library — no binaries are published, so goreleaser is
overkill. 'gh release create --generate-notes' provides equivalent
auto-changelog and source archives in 5 lines."
```

### Task 6.2: Open PR

- [ ] **Step 6.2.1: Push and PR**

```bash
git push -u origin feat/release-workflow
gh pr create --title "feat(ci): add release workflow with downstream dispatch" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
First release pipeline for libfossil. On tag push:
- Creates GitHub release with auto-generated notes (`gh release --generate-notes`)
- Dispatches `repository_dispatch` to `danmestas/EdgeSync` for downstream bump

Closes the cascade chain. Once merged, the next libfossil tag will fire
PRs in EdgeSync (and via PR #5 also in bones).

## Test plan
- [x] `actionlint` accepts the workflow
- [ ] After merge: tag `v0.4.6-rc1` and watch:
  - libfossil release.yml runs both steps
  - GitHub release `v0.4.6-rc1` created (prerelease)
  - EdgeSync's bump-upstream.yml runs and opens PR `chore/bump-libfossil-v0.4.6-rc1`
- [ ] Cleanup: close EdgeSync PR; delete rc tag from libfossil + EdgeSync; delete libfossil prerelease

## Deploy notes
Test cascade after merge:

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil
git checkout main && git pull
git tag -a v0.4.6-rc1 -m "Test release for cascade validation"
git push origin v0.4.6-rc1
```

Then watch:
```bash
gh run list --workflow release.yml --limit 1
```

After release.yml succeeds, watch EdgeSync:
```bash
gh run list --workflow bump-upstream.yml --repo danmestas/EdgeSync --limit 1
gh pr list --repo danmestas/EdgeSync --head 'chore/bump-libfossil-v0.4.6-rc1'
```

Cleanup (do not merge the rc PR):
```bash
gh pr close --repo danmestas/EdgeSync $(gh pr list --repo danmestas/EdgeSync --head 'chore/bump-libfossil-v0.4.6-rc1' --json number -q '.[0].number') --delete-branch
git tag -d v0.4.6-rc1
git push origin --delete v0.4.6-rc1
gh release delete v0.4.6-rc1 --yes
```

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-30-cross-repo-release-automation-design.md
EOF
)"
```

- [ ] **Step 6.2.2: Wait for CI green, user merges**

```bash
gh pr checks --watch
```

User merges manually.

### Task 6.3: End-to-end cascade validation

After PR #6 merges:

- [ ] **Step 6.3.1: Update local main and clean branch**

```bash
cd /Users/dmestas/projects/libfossil
git checkout main && git pull --ff-only origin main
git branch -d feat/release-workflow
git push origin --delete feat/release-workflow
```

- [ ] **Step 6.3.2: Tag a release candidate**

```bash
git tag -a v0.4.6-rc1 -m "Test release for cascade validation"
git push origin v0.4.6-rc1
```

- [ ] **Step 6.3.3: Watch libfossil release.yml**

```bash
gh run list --workflow release.yml --limit 1
gh run watch $(gh run list --workflow release.yml --limit 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId')
```
Expected: succeeds; both `Create GitHub release` and `Dispatch downstream bump` steps complete.

- [ ] **Step 6.3.4: Verify GitHub release created**

```bash
gh release view v0.4.6-rc1
```
Expected: prerelease with auto-generated notes.

- [ ] **Step 6.3.5: Verify EdgeSync bump-upstream.yml fired**

```bash
gh run list --workflow bump-upstream.yml --repo danmestas/EdgeSync --limit 1
gh pr list --repo danmestas/EdgeSync --head 'chore/bump-libfossil-v0.4.6-rc1' --json number,title,url
```
Expected: a recent bump-upstream run; one open PR titled `chore: bump libfossil → v0.4.6-rc1`.

- [ ] **Step 6.3.6: Cleanup the test cascade**

```bash
gh pr close --repo danmestas/EdgeSync $(gh pr list --repo danmestas/EdgeSync --head 'chore/bump-libfossil-v0.4.6-rc1' --json number -q '.[0].number') --delete-branch
git tag -d v0.4.6-rc1
git push origin --delete v0.4.6-rc1
gh release delete v0.4.6-rc1 --yes
```

Verify cleanup:
```bash
gh release list --limit 5
gh pr list --repo danmestas/EdgeSync --state open
```
Expected: no `v0.4.6-rc1` artifacts remain.

### Task 6.4: Update memory with cascade-active state

- [ ] **Step 6.4.1: Note the cascade is now live**

The deferred CI improvements memory file (`/Users/dmestas/.claude/projects/-Users-dmestas-projects-libfossil/memory/project_pending_ci_improvements.md`) now has additional context: the cascade automation has shipped, the `-race`/SDK-drift/DST-sweep work can be added to `make ci` rather than just CI.

This is a memory-update step; perform via the auto-memory system in conversation rather than as a code commit.

---

## Self-review checklist

After plan completes (all 6 PRs merged + post-merge tests passed):

- [ ] **Cascade lag:** time from a libfossil tag to bones PR open is <5 min (was 1-3 days).
- [ ] **PR count per cascade:** bones gets exactly one bump PR per cascade (was two).
- [ ] **Local CI mirror:** `make ci` in each repo exits 0 on a clean main; matches what GitHub CI runs.
- [ ] **Pre-push hook:** `git push --dry-run` triggers `make ci-fast`; failures block push.
- [ ] **Release helper:** `make release VERSION=...` validates clean tree, runs ci, creates annotated tag locally with template body.
- [ ] **Auto-changelog:** edgesync v0.0.9 and bones v0.3.4 release notes are grouped (Features/Bug fixes/Other) without manual annotation work.
- [ ] **PAT rotation reminder set** for ~10 months out.

If any item fails after the rollout: investigate that piece in isolation; the cascade can be repaired one workflow file at a time without touching the others.
