The release PR is just a version bump + checksum update. Enable
auto-merge with squash and delete the release branch after merge
to prevent branch accumulation.
The release workflow pushed directly to main which fails on repos
with branch protection enabled. This broke the polaris plugin v0.7.0
release.
Changes:
- Create release/vX.Y.Z branch instead of committing to main
- Push to the release branch + tags
- Create a PR to merge the version bump back to main
- Add pull-requests: write permission
Fail fast when a release tag already exists instead of running the
full build+package cycle only to fail at git push. Saves CI time on
duplicate workflow_dispatch triggers.
Adds a security audit step (npm audit --omit=dev) to catch known
vulnerabilities in production dependencies. Runs after tests so build
failures are reported before audit findings. Uses --omit=dev to focus
on production-facing risk.
This covers all 6 plugin repos that use the shared workflow.
