Prepare Folia Release

Prepare Folia Release

Prepare release files and hand the user paste-ready notes. Do not commit, tag, push, publish, or trigger a workflow unless the user explicitly requests that separate action; pushing realeco-release on main can start the production release workflow.

1. Establish the release range

1. Inspect git status --short and preserve all pre-existing user changes.
2. Find the newest stable tag reachable from HEAD. Only accept tags matching ^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$; ignore channel tags such as limo and prerelease tags.
3. Treat <base-tag>..HEAD as the release range. Record the base tag and full HEAD SHA.
4. Inspect both commits and actual changes:

git log --reverse --format="%H`t%s" <base-tag>..HEAD
git diff --stat <base-tag>..HEAD
git diff --name-only <base-tag>..HEAD

Read the implementation behind candidate features. Do not derive release notes from commit subjects alone. Keep uncommitted changes outside the release-range analysis unless the user explicitly asks to include them.

2. Draft user-facing changes

• Describe observable capabilities, improvements, compatibility changes, and meaningful fixes in user language.
• Exclude dependency bumps, refactors, tests, CI, debug helpers, and internal maintenance unless they materially change user experience.
• Do not overstate partial or provider-limited support. Preserve limitations that users need to know.
• Consolidate related commits into one item and avoid implementation details.
• Select roughly 3–6 primary items for the in-app feature cards. The Markdown release notes may include additional meaningful fixes.

Determine the target desktop version before writing. It must be a stable A.B.C version greater than the base stable version. If the user did not provide it, propose the appropriate SemVer bump and confirm it before modifying files.

3. Update NewFeaturesIntro-related files

Use the desktop target version consistently:

1. In src/components/modal/newFeaturesRelease.ts:
   • set i18nKey to releaseNotes.vA_B_C;
   • replace the feature cards with the selected release items;
   • reuse suitable lucide-react icons and remove only imports made unused by this edit.
2. In every locale returned by rg -l '"releaseNotes"' src/i18n/locales:
   • add a new vA_B_C object without deleting historical releases;
   • add intro plus matching title and description keys for every card ID;
   • write in that locale's existing language and tone. The current locales are en.ts, in.ts, and zh-CN.ts.
3. Set USER_GUIDE_AUTO_OPEN_VERSION in src/components/modal/userGuideContent.ts to A.B.C.

Keep card IDs identical across the release definition and all locales. Preserve comments, especially @note comments.

4. Update release versions

Desktop/Realeco and Docker are independent version streams. Never copy one version into the other merely for consistency.

For desktop/Realeco, write the same stable A.B.C value to:

• package.json → version;
• package-lock.json → the top-level version and packages[""].version;
• realeco-release → exactly one version line with a trailing newline.

For Docker, update deploy/docker/VERSION to a stable version greater than its current value. If the user did not specify a Docker version, propose the next patch version separately and confirm it before writing.

The eventual release commit's complete message must be exactly release: vA.B.C; extra body text fails .github/workflows/electron-release.yml. Report this requirement, but do not create the commit without explicit authorization.

5. Validate the prepared release

1. Confirm every edited version is plain SemVer and increases from its own previous value.
2. Confirm package.json, both root lockfile version fields, and realeco-release match.
3. Confirm every feature card has text in every locale and USER_GUIDE_AUTO_OPEN_VERSION matches the desktop version.
4. Run:

git diff --check
npm run test:unit -- test/unit/realecoReleaseMetadata.test.ts
bash deploy/docker/scripts/validate-version.sh deploy/docker/VERSION <previous-docker-version>

5. Follow skills/testing-strategy/SKILL.md for any additional validation. Do not run a full Electron package by default. If a dev server is already running, inspect its errors instead of starting another build.
6. Review git diff and ensure only intended release-preparation files changed.

6. Return the handoff

Report the comparison range, desktop version, Docker version, changed files, and validation results. Then provide a directly copyable Markdown block, written for users rather than developers:

## 更新说明

- <最重要的新功能或改进>
- <其他用户可感知变化>
- <必要的限制或重要修复>

End with the required future commit message: release: vA.B.C. Keep the Markdown notes aligned with the in-app cards, while allowing extra user-relevant fixes that do not merit a card.
