RustFS Release Version Bump

Use this skill to publish a RustFS release (alpha, beta, or stable) with a minimal, auditable diff and a complete ship flow (edit -> verify -> commit -> push -> PR).

Validated baseline: release pattern used in PR #2957.

Required inputs

• Exact target version, for example 1.0.0-beta.4.
• Delivery scope:
• Local only (edit/verify).
• Local + git (commit/push).
• Full GitHub flow (commit/push/PR).

If target version is missing or ambiguous, stop and ask before editing.

Read before editing

• AGENTS.md (root and nearest path-specific files).
• .github/pull_request_template.md.
• Current branch status and diff against origin/main.

Default release file scope

Treat the following file list as the default checklist for each release bump:

• Cargo.toml
• Cargo.lock
• README.md
• README_ZH.md
• flake.nix
• helm/rustfs/Chart.yaml
• rustfs.spec

Only drop a file when the current repository release process clearly no longer requires it.

Hard release policy

• Docker doc tags use <version> (for example rustfs/rustfs:1.0.0-beta.4), not v<version>.
• Helm chart version mapping follows beta.N -> 0.N.0.
• rustfs.spec Release uses prerelease suffix only (for example beta.4).
• Do not change these rules without explicit confirmation.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Confirm intent and isolate scope

• Confirm target version string exactly.
• Confirm whether user requested local-only or full GitHub flow.
• Inspect current branch and ensure only release-related files are touched for this task.

2. Update workspace versions

• Bump [workspace.package].version in Cargo.toml.
• Bump internal workspace crate dependency versions in Cargo.toml.
• Update Cargo.lock so workspace package versions match target version.
• Re-scan for partial leftovers.

3. Update release assets

• README.md and README_ZH.md: update versioned Docker examples to target version.
• flake.nix: update package version to target version.
• helm/rustfs/Chart.yaml:
• appVersion = target version.
• version follows chart mapping rule, for example:
• 1.0.0-beta.3 -> 0.3.0
• 1.0.0-beta.4 -> 0.4.0
• rustfs.spec:
• Set Release to prerelease suffix (example beta.4).
• Add/update top changelog entry with exact format:
• * Thu May 20 2026 houseme <housemecn@gmail.com>
• - Update RPM package to RustFS 1.0.0-beta.4
• Changelog identity and time must come from current environment:
• git config --get user.name
• git config --get user.email
• date '+%a %b %d %Y'
• Changelog version text must match target release version exactly.

4. Verify before shipping

• Run:
• cargo fmt --all
• cargo fmt --all --check
• make pre-commit
• If verification passes, run cargo clean.
• If make pre-commit fails, return BLOCKED with root cause and do not silently widen scope to fix unrelated issues unless user asks.

5. Commit strategy

• Preferred split when both parts changed:
• chore(release): prepare <version> for Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock.
• chore(release): align release assets for <version> for docs and packaging files.
• If user asks for one commit, use one commit.
• Stage only intended release files; do not include unrelated working tree changes.

6. Push and PR

• Push branch:
• git push -u origin <branch> (first push), or git push (tracking already exists).
• Create PR with template headings unchanged:
• gh pr create --base main --head <branch> --title ... --body-file ...
• PR title/body must be English.
• Use N/A for non-applicable template sections.
• Include verification commands and any BLOCKED reason clearly.

Recommended check commands

• git status --short --branch
• git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD
• git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD
• rg -n "<old_version>|<new_version>" Cargo.toml Cargo.lock README.md README_ZH.md flake.nix helm/rustfs/Chart.yaml rustfs.spec
• cargo fmt --all
• cargo fmt --all --check
• make pre-commit
• cargo clean

Output contract

When using this skill, always report:

• Target version.
• Files changed.
• Any assumptions or uncertainties requiring confirmation.
• Verification result (PASSED or BLOCKED) with key evidence.
• Commit message(s) used.
• Push status and PR URL when GitHub flow is requested.
