Release

Release Manager - MirrorBuddy

Pre-release validation for MirrorBuddy via app-release-manager subagent.

Context (pre-computed)

Project: MirrorBuddy
Branch: `git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "not a git repo"`
Uncommitted: `git status --short 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' '` files
Version: `node -p "require('./package.json').version" 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown"`

Activation

When message contains /release or /release {version}.

What It Does

Launches app-release-manager subagent with MirrorBuddy-specific validations:

1. Educational Content Quality - AI tutors, knowledge bases, teaching prompts
2. Student Safety - Content filtering, bias detection, safety guardrails
3. GDPR Compliance - Data handling, privacy, consent mechanisms
4. Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) - 7 DSA profiles, contrast, keyboard nav
5. ISE Engineering Fundamentals - Code quality, testing, documentation
6. AI Tutor Readiness - All 26 maestri verified, tools working

Workflow

Phase 1: Launch Agent

await Task({
  subagent_type: 'app-release-manager',
  description: 'MirrorBuddy release validation',
  prompt: `
RELEASE VALIDATION FOR MIRRORBUDDY

Project: MirrorBuddy
Target Version: ${version || 'auto-detect from package.json'}
Branch: ${branch}

Execute full release gate:
1. Pre-flight checks (git clean, correct branch)
2. Build validation (lint, typecheck, build)
3. Test execution (unit, E2E)
4. Security audit (secrets, dependencies)
5. Accessibility audit (WCAG 2.1 AA)
6. Compliance check (GDPR, EU AI Act)
7. Sentry + deployment configuration verification (CI + Vercel env)
8. AI tutor verification (all 26 maestri)
9. Documentation review (CHANGELOG, ADRs)

Sentry + deployment checks MUST include:
- Running \`npm run sentry:verify\` locally
- Ensuring \`.github/workflows/ci.yml\` \`sentry-config\` job installs dependencies and has \`VERCEL_TOKEN\` wired
- Verifying GitHub Actions secrets and Vercel production env contain all required Sentry and core app variables

Zero tolerance policy:
- ANY test failure = BLOCK
- ANY security issue = BLOCK
- ANY a11y violation = BLOCK
- ANY compliance gap = BLOCK
- ANY Sentry misconfiguration or missing env var = BLOCK

Output: Release report with APPROVE or BLOCK decision.
`,
});

Optional Pre-Flight: GitHub Secrets Sync

Before running the full release gate you MAY want to sync your local .env into GitHub Actions secrets (for example after adding VERCEL_TOKEN, SENTRY_DSN, or other critical config). This is a manual, explicit step and should only be used when you are sure your local .env reflects the intended production values.

# Sync all KEY=VALUE pairs from .env to GitHub Actions secrets
# Requires GitHub CLI (gh auth login)
npm run secrets:sync

Notes:

• This script never logs secret values (only names and lengths).
• It can overwrite existing secrets with the same keys; use it carefully.
• It is NOT run automatically by the release agent to avoid accidental propagation of local-only values.

Phase 2: Review Results

Agent returns comprehensive report with MirrorBuddy-specific checks.

Phase 3: User Decision

If APPROVED → version bump, git tag, CHANGELOG, GitHub release If BLOCKED → fix issues, re-run /release

MirrorBuddy-Specific Checks

Zero Tolerance Policy (Blocking)

• ANY compiler/lint warning
• ANY test failure
• ANY security vulnerability
• ANY TODO/FIXME in code
• ANY hardcoded secrets
• ANY debug prints (console.log)
• ANY outdated deps with CVEs
• ANY a11y violation (WCAG 2.1 AA)
• ANY GDPR/EU AI Act compliance gap

Quick Reference

# Fast local gate (PR-like)
npm run release:fast

# Full release validation (pre-production)
npm run release:gate

# Sentry + deployment configuration verification (must be clean)
npm run sentry:verify

# Agent-driven full release validation
/release           # Auto-detect version
/release 1.5.0    # Validate specific version
