# Release
End-to-end release automation for 5chan.
## Usage
The user provides a version bump (`patch`, `minor`, `major`, or explicit `x.y.z`).
If omitted, ask which bump level they want.
## Workflow
Copy this checklist and track progress:
```
Release Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Analyze commits
- [ ] Step 2: Write release body (longer sentence)
- [ ] Step 3: Write blotter message (concise keywords)
- [ ] Step 4: Bump version in package.json
- [ ] Step 5: Generate changelog
- [ ] Step 6: Update blotter file
- [ ] Step 7: Verify blotter
- [ ] Step 8: Commit, tag, push
```
### Step 1 — Analyze commits
```bash
git tag --sort=-creatordate | head -1
```
Then list commits since that tag:
```bash
git log --oneline <tag>..HEAD
```
If there are no new commits, stop — nothing to release.
Categorize by Conventional Commits prefix (`feat:`, `fix:`, `perf:`, `refactor:`, `chore:`, etc.).
### Step 2 — Write the release body one-liner
Edit `oneLinerDescription` in `scripts/release-body.js` (around line 105).
Rules:
- Start with "This version..." or "This release..."
- One sentence, no bullets
- Lead with the biggest features/fixes, group minor ones
- Plain language (user-facing)
- End with a period
Good examples:
- "This version adds backlinks for quoted posts, a copy user ID menu item, and several bug fixes."
- "This release adds pseudonymity mode support per-reply and fixes timezone display issues."
### Step 3 — Write the blotter message
This is a **separate, shorter** summary used for the in-app blotter banner.
Rules:
- Comma-separated key highlights, no full sentence
- Omit "This version..." prefix — the blotter script prepends `vX.Y.Z: ` automatically
- Aim for ~6080 characters after the version prefix
- **Only genuinely novel or noteworthy items** — things a user would find interesting or exciting
- Skip regression fixes (restoring something that previously worked), routine bug fixes, minor z-index/modal/layout tweaks, test improvements, CI changes, and anything that isn't a new capability or a significant user-facing improvement
- If something was already a known feature and just got fixed/restored, it does not belong in the blotter
- Fewer strong items beat many weak items; 24 highlights is ideal
- Lead with the most impressive item
Good examples (the part **you** write, without the `vX.Y.Z:` prefix):
- "Board pagination, multi-provider uploads, mod queue redesign, catalog sorting"
- "Syncs board dirs from GitHub, macOS icon, reply perf"
- "Quote links, backlinks, pseudonymityMode, release artifacts"
Save this string — you will pass it to the blotter script in Step 6.
### Step 4 — Bump version
Read `package.json`, compute the new version from the bump level, and update the `"version"` field.
| Bump | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `patch` | `0.6.7``0.6.8` |
| `minor` | `0.6.7``0.7.0` |
| `major` | `0.6.7``1.0.0` |
| `x.y.z` | Set exactly |
### Step 5 — Generate changelog
```bash
yarn changelog
```
This regenerates `CHANGELOG.md` from conventional commits.
### Step 6 — Update blotter
Pass the **blotter message from Step 3** (not the release body):
```bash
node scripts/update-blotter.js release --message "<blotter message>"
```
### Step 7 — Verify blotter
```bash
node scripts/update-blotter.js check
```
If it fails, fix the issue and re-run.
### Step 8 — Commit, tag, push
```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "chore(release): v<version>"
git push
git tag v<version>
git push --tags
```
GitHub Actions triggers on the pushed tag to build release artifacts.
## Dry-run mode
If the user says "dry run" or "preview", execute Steps 17 but **skip Step 8** (git operations). Print a summary of what would be committed so the user can review.
