Pre Release

Pre-Release Checks

Run this before tagging a new version to ensure everything works.

Step 0: Verify main is green on CI

Do this first, before any local checks.

# Must be on main
git branch --show-current  # expect: main

# Check the latest CI run on main
gh run list --branch main --limit 1 --json conclusion,displayTitle,databaseId

Expected: conclusion: "success". If CI is failing or in-progress, stop and resolve before continuing. All branches should already be merged to main before starting the pre-release process.

Step 1: Clean shared types build

Nuke the shared dist to simulate CI's clean checkout. This catches missing build steps.

rm -rf shared/dist shared/tsconfig.tsbuildinfo
cd shared && npm run build

Expected: Build succeeds and shared/dist/ is populated.

Step 2: Local checks (parallel)

Run steps 2a-2e in parallel where possible (server and client checks are independent).

2a. Server Unit Tests

cd server && npm test

Expected: All tests pass

2b. Server Linter + Type Check

cd server && npm run lint
cd server && npx tsc --noEmit

Expected: No errors (warnings OK)

2c. Client Unit Tests

cd client && npm test

Expected: All tests pass

2d. Client Linter

cd client && npm run lint

Expected: No errors (warnings OK)

2e. Integration Tests

cd server && npm run test:integration

Expected: All tests pass Note: Requires testEntities.ts to be configured

Step 3: Build checks

3a. Client Build

cd client && npm run build

Expected: Build succeeds without errors

3b. Docker Build

docker build -f Dockerfile.production -t peek:test .

Expected: Image builds successfully

Fixing Failures

When a check fails, invoke the relevant skill for guidance before attempting fixes:

After All Checks Pass

Report summary:

• CI on main: Green
• Shared types: Clean build
• Unit tests: X passed (client) + X passed (server)
• Integration tests: X passed
• Linter: Clean
• Type check: Clean
• Client build: Success
• Docker: Success

Ready to proceed with release tagging.
