Closes #338.

Makes rainix-tag-release (deploy repos) push-free, so deploy releases work on a branch-protected main — the same fix #335/#336 made for rainix-autopublish (library repos). Human-ruled Option A (2026-08-20): "we get everything ready then tag it and that publishes."

The change

rainix-tag-release used to git push origin HEAD:$MAIN (the "Commit the snapshot back to main" step), which a protected main rejects with GH006 — the release failed after publishing. It now writes nothing to any branch.

New deploy release process:

  1. Run the manual on-chain deploy (unchanged, separate).
  2. Open a PR that regenerates + commits the frozen src/generated/<version>/ snapshot and the [package].version bump. The append-only gate (rainix-sol-static) and the fork/chain-match suite (rainix-sol-test) run as that PR's normal CI — so deploy pins are reviewed before they publish.
  3. Merge the PR (normal protected-merge), then push a sol-v<version> tag on the merged commit.
  4. rainix-tag-release fires on the tag: regenerates the snapshot read-only, runs the publish guard, verifies live chain matches the pins, publishes to Soldeer, cuts the GitHub release. Zero git commit, zero branch push.

The snapshot still reaches main (via the PR), so the daily drift sweep and the repos' own snapshot tests — both of which read src/generated/ from main — keep working unchanged.

Publish guard (the point of the change)

Because the workflow no longer cuts the snapshot, a mistag / stale PR / hand-edited snapshot could otherwise publish silently. rainix-static release-guard runs immediately before forge soldeer push and fails closed unless all three hold on the tagged commit:

  1. foundry.toml [package].version == the tag's version (the identity the old flow held "by construction", now verified since the bump happened in a PR the workflow didn't control).
  2. src/generated/<version>/ is present in the tagged commit (checked via git ls-tree HEAD, not the regenerated worktree — so a dir the generator just recreated cannot mask a commit that never carried it).
  3. Re-running the generator changed nothing (git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all empty) — a stale, hand-edited, or never-cut snapshot dirties the tree and fails.

Consumer-visible

  • Release PROCESS changes to two steps (merge the release PR, then tag) — a doc change; the reusable's inputs/secrets are byte-compatible. PUBLISH_PRIVATE_KEY/CI_GIT_EMAIL/CI_GIT_USER stay declared (required: false) but unused, so secrets: inherit callers need no change.
  • RAINIX_SHA advances across all reusables to the gate commit (two-commit pattern), so the pinned sol-shell carries the new release-guard subcommand.

Decomposition note

No new PR-time reusable was needed: Option A's PR-time checks already run in every deploy repo's rainix-sol CI (append-only via rainix-sol-static, chain-match via rainix-sol-test) — verified against the real consumer rain.factory.deploy. The guard is model-agnostic on version identity (explicit version==tag + the no-op deterministic regeneration), rather than parsing a literal DEPLOY_TAG, because rain.factory.deploy's rolling-candidate model bakes DEPLOY_TAG = "candidate"; a literal check would break it.

QA

  • Discriminating tests: dir_present_true_only_on_nonempty_listing (snapshot dir absent → guard fails), dirty_offenders_lists_every_change (present-but-stale → guard fails), plus foundry_version_*, semver_*, version_dir_* — each fails on base (the functions do not exist at baseline; verified by building the test module against the pre-change tree).
  • Mutations applied: 8/8 KILLED, 0 survived/no-run (mutation-probe, baseline 147 green). G01 semver part-count ==3!=3 → semver_rejects_non_x_y_z; G02 semver empty-part check dropped → semver_rejects (empty parts); G03 semver digit check dropped → semver_rejects (non-digit); G04 version_dir dots→underscores dropped → version_dir_dots_to_underscores; G05 foundry_version returns None → foundry_version_reads_first_version_line; G06 dir_present inverted → dir_present_true_only_on_nonempty_listing (snapshot-absent case); G07 dirty_offenders keeps blank lines → dirty_offenders_lists_every_change + _empty_tree_is_clean (present-but-stale case); G08 foundry_version = guard dropped → foundry_version_ignores_version_prefixed_keys.
  • Oracle: the issue's guard invariants + the real rain.factory.deploy snapshot format (underscored <version> dir, [package].version), independent of the implementation.
  • Category check: issue asks (push-free tag-release; keep the drift-sweep + snapshot-test readers on main working; guard against mistag/stale/hand-edit) — covered: the branch push is removed; the snapshot still reaches main via the reviewed PR so both readers are unchanged; the guard enforces the three checks.

… publish guard

Deploy repos ran rainix-tag-release, which committed the frozen snapshot +
version bump back to main — rejected (GH006) on a branch-protected main. Make it
push-free (#338, Option A): the snapshot + version bump land
on main via a reviewed PR (append-only + fork-suite checks run there in
rainix-sol), a human sol-v tag on the merged commit triggers publish, and the
workflow is read-only verify + publish + GitHub release.

Because the workflow no longer cuts the snapshot, a new fail-closed publish
guard (rainix-static release-guard) refuses to publish a tag whose commit did
not actually carry the freshly-cut snapshot: foundry.toml version == tag
version; src/generated/<version>/ present in the tagged commit; and re-running
the generator changes nothing (deterministic).

So the pinned sol-shell carries the new rainix-static release-guard subcommand
that rainix-tag-release calls.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release process now expects reviewed snapshot changes before tagging. The tag workflow performs read-only determinism validation, runs a fail-closed release guard, publishes to Soldeer, and creates a GitHub release. Rainix pins advance across the affected workflows.

Changes

Push-free release validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release guard command and validation
rainix-static/src/main.rs, rainix-static/src/release_guard.rs
Adds the release-guard command. It validates semantic version format, foundry.toml, snapshot presence in HEAD, and a clean working tree. Unit tests cover the helper functions and validation cases.
Read-only tag publishing and Rainix pin alignment
.github/workflows/rainix-tag-release.yaml, .github/workflows/rainix-*.yaml
Removes checkout deploy-key setup, branch commits, pushes, and snapshot mutation. The workflow regenerates the snapshot for validation, invokes the release guard, and retains Soldeer and GitHub release publishing. Rainix pins change to a1ef2ae97e9f4617c75ae4a87e756f1a452c1009.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e46b1

The release workflow can still publish content that was not validated by the final guard, and it may accept a tag whose version does not match the package manifest; either issue could publish an incorrect release, so these fixes should land before merge.

…ically (CodeRabbit)

- Move the regenerate + publish-guard steps to after the fork suite and
  immediately before Publish to Soldeer, so the determinism check covers any
  tracked file test-cmd may touch and nothing runs between the guard and the
  push.
- foundry_version now tracks the active TOML table and reads the version only
  from [package]/[external.package], so a version key in an earlier table cannot
  be mistaken for the release version. Adds discriminating tests.

@coderabbitai assess this PR size classification for the totality of the PR with the following criterias and report it in your comment:

S/M/L PR Classification Guidelines:

This guide helps classify merged pull requests by effort and complexity rather than just line count. The goal is to assess the difficulty and scope of changes after they have been completed.

Small (S)

Characteristics:

  • Simple bug fixes, typos, or minor refactoring
  • Single-purpose changes affecting 1-2 files
  • Documentation updates
  • Configuration tweaks
  • Changes that require minimal context to review

Review Effort: Would have taken 5-10 minutes

Examples:

  • Fix typo in variable name
  • Update README with new instructions
  • Adjust configuration values
  • Simple one-line bug fixes
  • Import statement cleanup

Medium (M)

Characteristics:

  • Feature additions or enhancements
  • Refactoring that touches multiple files but maintains existing behavior
  • Breaking changes with backward compatibility
  • Changes requiring some domain knowledge to review

Review Effort: Would have taken 15-30 minutes

Examples:

  • Add new feature or component
  • Refactor common utility functions
  • Update dependencies with minor breaking changes
  • Add new component with tests
  • Performance optimizations
  • More complex bug fixes

Large (L)

Characteristics:

  • Major feature implementations
  • Breaking changes or API redesigns
  • Complex refactoring across multiple modules
  • New architectural patterns or significant design changes
  • Changes requiring deep context and multiple review rounds

Review Effort: Would have taken 45+ minutes

Examples:

  • Complete new feature with frontend/backend changes
  • Protocol upgrades or breaking changes
  • Major architectural refactoring
  • Framework or technology upgrades

Additional Factors to Consider

When deciding between sizes, also consider:

  • Test coverage impact: More comprehensive test changes lean toward larger classification
  • Risk level: Changes to critical systems bump up a size category
  • Team familiarity: Novel patterns or technologies increase complexity

Notes:

  • the assessment must be for the totality of the PR, that means comparing the base branch to the last commit of the PR
  • the assessment output must be exactly one of: S, M or L (single-line comment) in format of: SIZE={S/M/L}
  • do not include any additional text, only the size classification
  • your assessment comment must not include tips or additional sections
  • do NOT tag me or anyone else on your comment
