fix(release): make the release checklist able to fail - #840
Conversation
Four checks in .github/RELEASING.md looked like gates but could not fail, which is the exact defect the document was written to prevent. Found in review of #839. - dg() piped a failed registry lookup into sha256sum, which hashes empty input and returns sha256:e3b0c442... — a real-looking digest. Step 2 then reported a missing image as present, and two missing tags compared equal so steps 3 and 4 printed OK. It now captures the manifest first and returns non-zero on an empty or failed lookup. Step 4 gained -n guards: with the helper fixed, two missing tags are both empty and would still have compared equal. - The job-conclusion check only printed the count of non-success jobs and exited 0 regardless, so a release could continue past a skipped build. It now exits non-zero. - Step 5 compared RepoDigests (repo@sha256:...) against a bare sha256:..., which can never match literally. It now strips the repository prefix. - Step 8 matched any version-shaped tag rather than comparing to $VER, so a pin left at the previous release satisfied it. It now checks each OpenRag repository's tag by name. Counting version-shaped tags instead would have been wrong: values.yaml also pins vllm, milvus and infinity, whose versions are unrelated to the release. Every snippet was executed rather than reasoned about: the job gate was run against the v2.0.1 run that built nothing (correctly fails) and against the v2.1.0 run (passes), and the rest against the live v2.1.0 registries.

Fail the gate when any required job is missing, then retain the existing

There are four cases where this checklist can still report success without proving the release is valid:
-
The workflow check validates only the jobs GitHub returned. If one of the four required publishing jobs is missing entirely, the remaining successful jobs still make the gate pass.
-
The image check continues after a failed pull. When the same tag already exists locally, Docker can inspect that cached image and compare an old digest, so the step may print OK even though the release image was not fetched.
-
The chart lookup is text-based and can match a repository name inside a comment. It may then read a nearby active tag and validate the wrong image block.
-
The Compose check relies on a combined regex count. A comment, duplicate entry, or version containing characters matched by the unescaped dots can produce a count of two without having one correct API pin and one correct Admin UI pin.
These are release gates, so a false pass is risky: each check should fail unless the exact expected job or image pin is present and was successfully verified.
Same defect class as the rest of this PR — checks that look like gates but
cannot fail. All four reproduced before fixing.
- Step 1 validated only the jobs the API returned, so a job that never ran
contributed no failing conclusion and the gate passed on the strength of
the others. Require each of the four jobs present exactly once and success.
- Step 5 ignored the pull exit status, letting a failed pull fall through to
an older cached image, and read `{{index .RepoDigests 0}}` from a list that
is unordered. Gate on the pull; select the entry by repository.
- The chart lookup used `grep -A4`, which matches a repository named inside a
comment and then reads a neighbouring block's tag. Parse the `tag:` sibling
at the same indent, comments stripped, and require exactly one entry.
- The compose check counted `$VER` interpolated into a regex, so v2x1y0
passed; a count of two was also reached by a duplicate pin, or by two
commented-out lines. Match active `image:` values as fixed whole strings,
one per repository, and reject stray OpenRag pins.
Verified by executing every snippet: step 1 passes the v2.1.0 run and fails
run 30034799802 (the release that built nothing, where verify-tag is absent
entirely); step 5 matches the live registry digest through a real pull;
step 8 still reports PASS against the v2.1.0 tag while failing each of the
poisoned fixtures.

pend is cleared when the next same-indentation image: block begins before
processing its tag:. This keeps pin_for scoped to the current image block and
ensures a missing target tag produces NO SIBLING tag: rather than reusing a
later tag.

The Helm pin gate still has two false-pass cases that can let a release proceed without validating the value Helm will actually deploy.
Both reviewers found the same false pass in the awk lookup, and they were right: `pend` outlived its `image:` block, so a repository with no `tag:` at all consumed a later block's tag and reported it as the pin. A duplicate sibling `tag:` was also accepted — the scanner stopped at the first value while Helm resolves last-wins, so a correct pin followed by a stale one passed. That is the third text-matching bug in this check (`grep -A4` matched a repository named inside a comment). Rather than patch the scanner again, parse values.yaml with PyYAML: comments are gone by construction, block boundaries are real, and a duplicate key raises instead of silently resolving to one of the two values. Reproduced both reports first, then verified the fix against them: an unpinned repository now reports "no sibling tag: (image is unpinned)", duplicate keys are rejected with the offending line number, and the two fixtures from the previous round still fail. step 8 still passes against the real v2.1.0 tag.

The revised YAML validation resolves both reported false-pass cases: image pins are now scoped structurally, and duplicate keys are rejected. I also verified the valid release case and the malformed fixtures, and all CI checks are green.

.github/RELEASING.mdable to fail. Every check in it looked like a gate but could pass on a broken release; each one below was reproduced before being fixed, and the fixed version was executed rather than reasoned about.Round 1 — the four issues raised on #839

Step 2 reported a missing image as present, and two missing tags compared equal so steps 3 and 4 printedOK.RepoDigests(repo@sha256:…) against a baresha256:…. Those can never match literally.$VER, so a pin left at the previous release satisfied it.Round 2 — four more false-pass paths

Now matches activeimage:values as fixed whole strings, one per repository, rejecting strays.Round 3 — the chart lookup, parsed properly
The round-2 replacement for
grep -A4was itself wrong, in two ways both reviewers found:tag:, the pending lookup outlived itsimage:block and consumed a later block's tag. A completely unpinned image reported a valid version.tag:— the scanner stopped at the first value; YAML resolves duplicates last-wins, which is what Helm deploys. A correct pin followed by a stale one passed.That was the third text-matching bug in one check, so the scanner is gone.
values.yamlis now parsed with PyYAML: comments disappear by construction, block boundaries are real object boundaries, and a strict loader raises on duplicate keys rather than guessing which value Helm would use.The chart half now needs
