Summary

  • Adds notify-release-behind-main.yml: on push to main, flags open release/* PRs targeting main that the Compare API reports as behind/diverged, so a forward-merge isn't missed.
  • Adds notify-bugfix-propagation.yml, successor to notify-hotfix-propagation.yml: on merge of a bugfix/* PR into a release/* branch, reminds to propagate the fix back to next.
  • Removes notify-hotfix-propagation.yml (targeted the retired staging/develop/hotfix model).

Both workflows validated end-to-end on disposable test branches/PRs in the allcrud repo (compare-status handling, comment content, idempotent rerun behavior) before opening this PR. Same files, mirrored here.

Test plan

  • Validated in allcrud (sibling repo, identical workflow files) - correct comment posted, idempotent on rerun/re-push
  • CodeRabbit review

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automated reminders for release branches that fall behind or diverge from the main branch.
    • Added notifications when merged bug fixes require propagation to the next development branch.
    • Reminders appear in the relevant pull request and workflow summary.
  • Improvements

    • Notifications now reference the correct target release branch and use clearer bug-fix-specific messaging.
    • Existing reminders are updated instead of duplicated.

…tfix propagation

Adds notify-release-behind-main.yml (warns open release/* PRs against main
when the Compare API reports behind/diverged) and notify-bugfix-propagation.yml
(successor to notify-hotfix-propagation.yml, retargeted at bugfix/* merging
into release/* branches, reminding to propagate the fix back to next).

Removes notify-hotfix-propagation.yml, which targeted the retired
staging/develop/hotfix branch model.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@mathmferreira, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 47 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates bugfix propagation handling for release branches and adds a workflow that notifies open release pull requests when their branches are behind or diverged from main.

Changes

Release notifications

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bugfix propagation workflow
.github/workflows/notify-bugfix-propagation.yml
The workflow now handles merged bugfix/* pull requests targeting release/** branches. It creates or updates reminders that reference the release branch and request propagation to next.
Release branch comparison workflow
.github/workflows/notify-release-behind-main.yml
The new workflow checks open release/* pull requests targeting main, compares their branches with main, and creates or updates idempotent reminders for behind or diverged branches.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 1e680

The new release notification workflow currently lacks the repository read permission required for its comparison step, which can prevent release reminders from being generated at all; it also may skip release pull requests beyond the first 30 and duplicate comments during concurrent runs. Merge should be blocked until the permission and pagination issues are fixed, with concurrency handling addressed or explicitly accepted.

In @.github/workflows/notify-bugfix-propagation.yml:
- Around line 13-18: Add job-level concurrency to the notify job using a group
keyed by github.event.pull_request.number and set cancel-in-progress to false,
ensuring comment read/create-or-update operations for each pull request run
serially while preserving the existing workflow conditions.

In @.github/workflows/notify-release-behind-main.yml:
- Around line 26-27: Update the pull-request collection in the workflow to use
gh api with --paginate --slurp, requesting open pull requests targeting main and
retaining only release/* branches; preserve the existing JSON structure consumed
by the subsequent comparison logic while ensuring all pages are processed.
- Around line 8-10: Update the workflow-level configuration for the push-to-main
workflow to add a concurrency group and set cancel-in-progress to true, ensuring
newer runs cancel overlapping earlier runs before marker lookup and comment
creation.
- Around line 15-16: Update the workflow job’s explicit permissions block to
grant contents read access alongside pull-requests write, so the Compare two
commits API call can execute successfully.

Comment thread .github/workflows/notify-release-behind-main.yml
Comment thread .github/workflows/notify-release-behind-main.yml Outdated
- notify-release-behind-main.yml: add missing contents:read permission
  (the Compare API call needs it; pull-requests:write alone isn't enough)
- notify-release-behind-main.yml: replace gh pr list (30-result cap) with
  gh api --paginate --slurp against the pulls endpoint
- notify-release-behind-main.yml: add concurrency group with
  cancel-in-progress: true (each run is independent, only the latest push
  to main matters)
- notify-bugfix-propagation.yml: add concurrency group with
  cancel-in-progress: false (serialize same-PR reruns without interrupting
  mid comment-write)
- notify-bugfix-propagation.yml: name the job (zizmor anonymous-definition)
- both: document the permissions block (zizmor undocumented-permissions)

Identical to the fix validated on disposable test branches/PRs in the
allcrud repo (sibling workflow files, same logic).
