New reusable workflow fw-lite-release-notes.yaml runs the release-notes skill via anthropics/claude-code-action; fw-lite.yaml calls it on main, puts the forum draft in the GitHub release body (collapsed, ahead of the generated notes) and feeds the Play Store text to the Google Play beta upload, falling back to the old generic text when there is no draft.

  • Needs the CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN repo secret (claude setup-token); without it every drafting step is skipped.
  • Drafting is best effort: it can never fail or block the release.
  • Claude reads PR text anyone could have written, so its tools are read-only and reach nothing but GitHub, its shell env is scrubbed, and the notes are dropped if they contain a credential or a link outside our sites. The production approval on create-release is the human gate; the draft is in the drafting job's summary.
  • Tested end to end on the sandbox fork (real draft from a release's worth of PRs in ~2 min, ~$0.40). workflow_dispatch runs the drafting alone.

New reusable workflow fw-lite-release-notes.yaml runs the release-notes
skill via anthropics/claude-code-action (auth: CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN
secret from `claude setup-token`). fw-lite.yaml calls it on main; the
forum draft goes into the GitHub release body (collapsed, ahead of the
generated notes) and the Play Store text feeds the Google Play beta
upload, falling back to the old generic text when the job produced
nothing. workflow_dispatch runs the drafting alone, releasing nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Pass only the Claude token to the reusable workflow instead of every
fw-lite secret, make every drafting step best effort (including a step
timeout, which continue-on-error absorbs; a job timeout isn't), fetch
upstream tags and point gh at upstream so a fork run drafts from real
history, and stop fw-lite generating release notes: release-pipeline
does that for the same tag, so both writers' notes ended up duplicated.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a Claude-based FW Lite release-notes workflow. It validates and uploads forum and Play Store notes, integrates them into GitHub releases and Google Play uploads, and documents the workflow and skill output rules.

Changes

FW Lite release notes automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release notes skill contract
.claude/skills/release-notes/SKILL.md
The skill allows additional Git commands and documents CI file output, Android size limits, fallback text, and prompt-provided version tags.
Draft and validate release notes
.github/workflows/fw-lite-release-notes.yaml
The new workflow resolves tags, fetches history, invokes Claude with restricted tools, validates generated notes, creates the release body, and uploads the notes artifact.
Release publishing integration
.github/workflows/fw-lite.yaml, .github/AGENTS.md
The main workflow calls the notes workflow, downloads notes when available, uses them in GitHub releases and Google Play uploads, and documents the process.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ff668

This change gives externally influenced release content access to a network-capable automation process holding a repository token, creating a risk that credentials could be disclosed and that unreviewed generated text could reach public release channels. Release reruns may also duplicate notes when drafting output is unavailable. These issues should be addressed before merging.

Prevent duplicate generated notes on fallback reruns.

If the notes artifact is absent, the existing-release branch uses the current release body. generate_release_notes: true then appends newly generated notes during updateRelease, which can duplicate the notes section on each rerun. Skip regeneration when the artifact is absent, or use a separate conditional path for release creation.

Claude's CI shell loses WebFetch, git fetch, cat and jq and gets a scrubbed env, so
injected PR text can't read or ship the tokens. The check step now owns release-body.md
and the artifact only carries the three expected files, so model output can't reach the
release body unwrapped. The baseline tag is matched on the release-tag pattern.

The forum-link check measured the text without the trailing newline it then wrote,
so a 500-unit result became a 501-unit file; it now measures the written file and
warns when the link is dropped. The skill's own cap said 500 characters while CI needs
room for the link. Re-runs without a draft no longer regenerate (and duplicate) the
GitHub-generated notes. The fw-lite path filter now includes the reusable workflow.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude's own process still holds the tokens, so a scrubbed shell env alone doesn't stop
injected PR text from copying one into the notes. The check step now drops all notes
that contain either token, Play notes with any link, and forum notes linking outside
sil.org, github.com or lexbox.org. The production approval on create-release is named
as the human gate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Protocol-relative, www. and markdown-target links slipped past the http(s) host check.
A small validator now extracts all of them and fails closed on anything not on our hosts.

An href with entity-encoded slashes rendered as an outside link but showed no // to the
scanner. Entities are now decoded first and any HTML tag fails the check.
