ci: release workflow — tag-triggered per-tool ZIPs on GitHub Releases - #8
Conversation
Pushing a v* tag validates manifests, packages each ghl-*/ folder as a ZIP shaped for load-unpacked (archive contains the tool folder), and publishes a GitHub Release with checksums, using the matching CHANGELOG section as release notes. Uses the preinstalled gh CLI — no third-party release action; actions pinned by SHA like ci.yml. No Chrome Web Store; unpacked extensions never auto-update. Docs updated to describe the flow (README Deployment, CONTRIBUTING release process, CHANGELOG).
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe repository now has a GitHub Actions workflow that validates manifests, packages each Release Pipeline
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds a tag-driven workflow that executes repository-controlled packaging logic and publishes releases with write authority; a crafted tool name could run code on the runner, while the persisted credential could enable tampered artifacts or repository changes. It can also publish a release from the wrong commit or from malformed tags. These concrete security and release-integrity risks make the PR unsafe to merge until the workflow is hardened.

preserves blank lines within the selected CHANGELOG section while trimming only
leading and trailing blank lines from the generated release-notes.md; replace
the current sed filtering without changing the existing version-section
extraction logic.
- Around line 60-68: Update both gh release create invocations in the Create
GitHub Release step to include --verify-tag, ensuring the release is published
only when the pushed tag already exists.
- Around line 10-12: Update the release workflow’s tag trigger or earliest job
guard around the push tag pattern so only tags matching
^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$ proceed. Reject tags such as vtest and v1 before any
release publishing, CHANGELOG processing, or generated-notes fallback occurs.
- Around line 39-46: Update the “Package tools” loop to avoid interpolating the
repository-controlled tool name into the Node expression used to read
manifest.json. Pass the manifest path through an environment variable and use a
fixed Node script to parse that path, while preserving the existing
version-based archive naming and packaging behavior.
In `@README.md`:

Reject non-semantic release tags.
v* triggers the workflow for tags such as vtest and v1. Add an early check for ^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$. Otherwise, the workflow can publish a release without the required CHANGELOG section and use generated notes.

Preserve internal blank lines in release notes.
The sed command removes every blank line. This changes paragraph and list formatting in CHANGELOG sections that contain intentional spacing. Trim only leading and trailing blank lines.

GitHub CLI gh release create --verify-tag behavior missing tag official manual
💡 Result:
The --verify-tag flag in the GitHub CLI command gh release create is used to prevent the automatic creation of git tags [1][2]. By default, if you run gh release create and specify a tag that does not yet exist in the repository, the GitHub CLI will automatically create that tag on the remote repository based on the latest state of the default branch [1][3]. When you include the --verify-tag flag, the command will instead query the repository via the GitHub API to check if the specified git tag already exists [2][4]. If the tag is not found, the command will abort and return an error, preventing the release creation process from proceeding [1][2]. This flag was introduced in version 2.21.0 of the GitHub CLI to provide a safeguard against unintended tag creation [2]. It is particularly useful in automated workflows or release processes where a tag must be explicitly created or validated before a release can be published [4][5].

Require the pushed tag to exist before publishing.
If the tag is missing, gh release create can create it from the default branch. Add --verify-tag to both command branches to prevent the release from pointing to the wrong commit.

| ## Deployment | ||
|
|
||
| There is no pipeline to ship: tools are loaded unpacked straight from a checkout of this repo. Distributing via the Chrome Web Store is a future decision; until then, pin consumers to a tag of this repo. Exported data never transits any server — it goes from the browser tab to the ZIP on disk. | ||
| Releases are published by pushing a `v<x.y.z>` tag: the [Release workflow](./.github/workflows/release.yml) validates every manifest, packages each tool folder as a ZIP (with a `checksums.txt`), and publishes a GitHub Release using that version's CHANGELOG section as the notes. To install from a release: download the tool's ZIP, unzip it, and load the resulting folder via `chrome://extensions` → **Load unpacked**. Extensions loaded unpacked never auto-update — a new release means downloading the new ZIP and replacing the folder. Chrome Web Store distribution is out of scope for this project. Exported data never transits any server — it goes from the browser tab to the ZIP on disk. |

Correct the exported-data statement.
Exported data never transits any server conflicts with README.md Lines 102-104, which show the extension fetching data from the GHL backend. State that the extension does not upload exports to an additional service, then explain that the browser writes the returned data to a local ZIP.
