BREAKING CHANGE: Removed auto-version-bump workflow that was causing [skip ci] hell New features: - Unified release workflow that handles everything in one go - Quick fix workflow for emergency deployments - No more [skip ci] preventing Docker builds - No more manual tag juggling - Single button release process The old pipeline was a disaster with disconnected workflows, auto-version-bumps with [skip ci] that prevented Docker builds, and required manual tag deletion/ re-pushing to trigger builds. This new pipeline is actually usable.

CI/CD Pipeline Guide
🚀 New Simplified Pipeline
For Releases (Recommended)
Use the Unified Release workflow from GitHub Actions tab:
- Go to Actions → Unified Release → Run workflow
- Enter version number (e.g., 0.1.25) or choose release type
- Click "Run workflow"
This single workflow:
- ✅ Updates chart version
- ✅ Creates git tag
- ✅ Builds and pushes Docker image with proper tags
- ✅ Publishes Helm chart
- ✅ Creates GitHub Release with notes
- ✅ NO MORE
[skip ci]NONSENSE!
For Quick Fixes
Use the Quick Fix Build workflow when you need to push a fix without ceremony:
- Go to Actions → Quick Fix Build → Run workflow
- Optionally specify a tag (defaults to 'latest')
- Click "Run workflow"
This builds and pushes the Docker image immediately without version bumps.
Workflow Files
| Workflow | Purpose | Trigger | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
release-unified.yaml |
Main release workflow | Manual dispatch | Complete release process |
quick-fix.yaml |
Emergency fixes | Manual dispatch | Just build & push Docker |
build-and-push.yaml |
CI builds | Tags & PRs | Auto-build on tags/PRs |
release.yaml |
GitHub releases | Tag push | Create GitHub release |
helm-publish.yaml |
Helm chart only | Tags | Publish Helm chart |
Common Tasks
Release a new version
# Option 1: Use GitHub UI
# Go to Actions → Unified Release → Run workflow
# Option 2: Use GitHub CLI
gh workflow run release-unified.yaml -f version=0.1.25 -f release_type=patch
Push a quick fix
# Use GitHub UI: Actions → Quick Fix Build → Run workflow
# Or:
gh workflow run quick-fix.yaml -f tag=hotfix-1
Check build status
gh run list --workflow=release-unified.yaml
Version Strategy
- Major (1.0.0): Breaking changes
- Minor (0.2.0): New features
- Patch (0.1.25): Bug fixes
