Automated Checks

Manual Verification

• CHANGELOG.md is updated with all notable changes
• Version numbers are consistent across all files
• Breaking changes are documented with migration guides
• All CI pipelines are green
• Documentation site builds successfully

Release Workflow

1. Prepare Release

# Ensure all checks pass
mise run check

# Generate changelog (if using git-cliff)
git cliff --unreleased --tag vX.Y.Z > CHANGELOG-next.md

# Review and merge changelog

2. Create Release

# Create release branch (if applicable)
git checkout -b release/vX.Y.Z

# Update version numbers
# - Cargo.toml
# - package.json (if applicable)
# - Any other version files

# Commit version bump
git commit -am "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z"

# Create tag
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release vX.Y.Z"

# Push
git push origin release/vX.Y.Z --tags

3. Post-Release

• Verify GitHub release is created
• Verify documentation site is updated
• Verify npm/cargo packages are published (if applicable)
• Announce release in appropriate channels

Task Reference

Troubleshooting

Schema Validation Failures

If schema:validate fails:

1. Check the specific error message
2. Validate the schema file syntax
3. Ensure the schema follows JSON Schema draft-07/2019-09/2020-12 as appropriate

Example Validation Failures

If examples:validate fails:

1. Check which files failed with mise run examples:validate --verbose
2. Ensure formatVersion field is present in example files
3. Verify examples match the schema for their version

Fixture Validation Failures

If fixtures:validate fails:

1. Fixtures may need to be refetched: mise run fixtures:fetch
2. Check if fixtures are valid Morphir IR format
3. Ensure fixtures are in the expected locations:
   • .morphir/testing/fixtures/
   • tests/bdd/testdata/morphir-ir/
