Bump Cluster UI

Bump cluster-ui Version

Automate the two cluster-ui version bumps required after a release branch is created. This creates two PRs:

1. Release branch PR: Drop the prerelease suffix (e.g., 26.2.0-prerelease.0 → 26.2.0)
2. Master PR: Increment minor version for next cycle (e.g., 26.2.0-prerelease.0 → 26.3.0-prerelease.0)

The file to edit is pkg/ui/workspaces/cluster-ui/package.json (the "version" field).

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Inputs

Ask the user for:

1. Release version (required) — e.g., 26.2. This is the version that was just branched.
2. Jira epic (optional) — e.g., REL-4280. Included in commit messages if provided.

Step 2: Validate

Fetch remote branches and confirm origin/release-{version} exists:

git fetch origin release-{version} --no-tags

If the branch does not exist, report the error and stop.

Step 3: Read Current State

Read pkg/ui/workspaces/cluster-ui/package.json on both branches to verify the current version matches the expected {major}.{minor}.0-prerelease.0 pattern:

git show origin/release-{version}:pkg/ui/workspaces/cluster-ui/package.json
git show origin/master:pkg/ui/workspaces/cluster-ui/package.json

If the version does not match expectations, warn the user and ask whether to proceed.

Step 4: Confirm with User

Show the user a summary of the two planned changes:

Release branch PR (targeting release-{version}):
  package.json version: {version}.0-prerelease.0 → {version}.0

Master PR (targeting master):
  package.json version: {version}.0-prerelease.0 → {next_version}.0-prerelease.0

Where {next_version} increments the minor: e.g., 26.2 → 26.3.

Get explicit confirmation before proceeding.

Step 5: Identify Fork Remote

The cockroachdb/cockroach repo restricts branch creation, so branches must be pushed to the user's personal fork. Identify the fork remote:

git remote -v

Look for a remote pointing to the user's fork (e.g., fork → kyle-a-wong/cockroach). If no fork remote is found, ask the user which remote to use.

Use {fork} below to refer to the identified fork remote name, and {fork_owner} for the GitHub username (e.g., kyle-a-wong).

Step 6: Create Release Branch PR

git checkout -b bump-cluster-ui-{version} origin/release-{version}

Edit pkg/ui/workspaces/cluster-ui/package.json: change the "version" field from "{version}.0-prerelease.0" to "{version}.0".

Commit with message:

ui: bump cluster-ui to {version}.0

Epic: {epic}
Release note: None

If no epic was provided, omit the Epic: line.

Push to the fork and create the PR:

git push -u {fork} bump-cluster-ui-{version}
gh pr create -R cockroachdb/cockroach \
  --head {fork_owner}:bump-cluster-ui-{version} \
  --base release-{version} \
  --title "ui: bump cluster-ui to {version}.0" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
Bump cluster-ui package version to {version}.0 for the release branch.

Epic: {epic}
Release note: None

Release justification: version bump that's part of release flow. no production code changed.
EOF
)"

Step 7: Create Master PR

Compute the next version by incrementing the minor component:

• 26.2 → 26.3
• 25.4 → 25.5

git checkout -b bump-cluster-ui-{next_version}-prerelease origin/master

Edit pkg/ui/workspaces/cluster-ui/package.json: change the "version" field from "{version}.0-prerelease.0" to "{next_version}.0-prerelease.0".

Commit with message:

ui: bump cluster-ui version to {next_version}.0-prerelease.0

Epic: {epic}
Release note: None

If no epic was provided, omit the Epic: line.

Push to the fork and create the PR:

git push -u {fork} bump-cluster-ui-{next_version}-prerelease
gh pr create -R cockroachdb/cockroach \
  --head {fork_owner}:bump-cluster-ui-{next_version}-prerelease \
  --base master \
  --title "ui: bump cluster-ui version to {next_version}.0-prerelease.0" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
Bump cluster-ui package version to {next_version}.0-prerelease.0 for the next development cycle.

Epic: {epic}
Release note: None
EOF
)"

Step 8: Report

Display both PR URLs to the user. Switch back to the original branch:

git checkout -

Commit Message Conventions

Follow the historical pattern from prior bumps:

• Release branch: ui: bump cluster-ui to {version}.0
• Master: ui: bump cluster-ui version to {next_version}.0-prerelease.0
• Always include Release note: None
• Include Epic: {epic} when an epic is provided

Error Handling

• If origin/release-{version} doesn't exist, stop and tell the user.
• If the current version in package.json doesn't match expectations, show the actual version and ask the user how to proceed.
• If a branch name like bump-cluster-ui-{version} already exists locally, warn the user and ask whether to delete and recreate it.
• If gh pr create fails, show the error and suggest the user check their GitHub authentication (gh auth status).
