|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### For Project Managers
|
|
|
|
**You care about**: Release timeline, process clarity, versioning
|
|
|
|
**Start here**:
|
|
1. Read: WORKFLOW_OPTIMIZATION_SUMMARY.md (benefits and timeline)
|
|
2. Review: RELEASE_GUIDE.md (release process)
|
|
3. Reference: GIT_WORKFLOW.md (version numbering)
|
|
|
|
**Key Metrics**:
|
|
- Setup time: 15 minutes (first time)
|
|

|
|
- Automation coverage: ~95% of release process
|
|
- Error recovery: Clear troubleshooting guides
|
|
|
|
## Problem Solving Guide
|
|
|
|
### "I'm stuck on Step X"
|
|
|
|
**Problem**: Not sure about a specific step
|
|
|
|
**Solution**:
|
|
1. Which guide are you following?
|
|
- RELEASE_GUIDE.md? → Look for "Step X" section
|
|
- GITHUB_SETUP_CHECKLIST.md? → Look for "Step X" section
|
|
- GIT_WORKFLOW.md? → Use Table of Contents
|
|
|
|
2. Can't find it? Search across documents:
|
|
- Key topic you're stuck on
|
|
- "Troubleshooting" section
|
|
- Related document cross-links
|
|
|
|
3. Still stuck? Check CI_CD_DESIGN.md:
|
|
- More detailed explanations
|
|
- Architecture diagrams
|
|
- Design rationale
|
|
|
|
### "The workflow failed"
|
|
|
|
**Problem**: GitHub Actions workflow didn't complete successfully
|
|
|
|
**Solution**:
|
|
1. Check error message in GitHub Actions UI
|
|
2. Look for error in logs
|
|
3. Find error type in appropriate troubleshooting section:
|
|
- CI failure? → CI_CD_DESIGN.md → Error Handling
|
|
- Release failure? → RELEASE_GUIDE.md → Troubleshooting
|
|
- Setup failure? → GITHUB_SETUP_CHECKLIST.md → Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
4. Follow suggested fixes
|
|
5. Retry
|
|
|
|
### "The checksum doesn't match"
|
|
|
|
**Problem**: Artifact Hub shows different checksum than GitHub release
|
|
|
|
**Solution**:
|
|
1. Never rebuild locally
|
|
2. Download tarball from GitHub release
|
|
3. Verify checksum:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sha256sum headlamp-sealed-secrets-0.2.5.tar.gz
|
|
grep archive-checksum artifacthub-pkg.yml
|
|
```
|
|
4. They should match (minus the "SHA256:" prefix)
|
|
5. If not: Publish workflow likely didn't auto-update metadata
|
|
- Check Actions logs
|
|
- See: CI_CD_DESIGN.md → Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
