Delete branch "feat/release-flow"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Implements the mechanism half of #83: the tag-resolving installer,
release.yml, and the-devversion convention. The 0.7.0 cut itself (the release-PR ritual on real hardware) follows as its own act once this lands — this PR deliberately does not close the issue.The problem
box has a
VERSIONfile, a curatedCHANGELOG.md, a0.6.0tag and a GitHub release — butinstall.shdownloadsarchive/refs/heads/main. The release is a bookmark, not a package:curl | bashhands out whatevermainis at that second, and two operators "on 0.6.0" can be running different trees. And under #79'sversions/<v>layout, amaininstall atVERSION0.6.0 lands inversions/0.6.0, impersonating the released tree.What this PR does
install.shdefaults to the latest release. WithBOX_REFunset it resolves the latest tag by following GitHub'sreleases/latestredirect (one HEAD request via-w '%{redirect_url}'— no API, no token, no rate-limit pain) and downloadsarchive/refs/tags/<tag>.tar.gz. A failed resolution refuses loudly, namingBOX_REFas the way out — never a hang, never a silent fallback tomain. A setBOX_REFis tried as a tag first, then as a branch: three channels from one knob (default = latest release,BOX_REF=0.6.0= pinned,BOX_REF=main= dev), documented in the README. The resolution happens after the confirm prompt (no network before consent), andINSTALLED_FROMrecords the resolved tag..github/workflows/release.yml— on a bareX.Y.Ztag push (the0.6.0tag set the no-vprecedent): asserts the tag names the tree's ownVERSION(a mismatch fails loudly and creates nothing), thengh release create --verify-tagwith that version'sCHANGELOG.mdsection as the body — the curated prose, not the generated PR list. No assets: the source tarball for the tag IS the package. The extraction lives in.github/scripts/release-notes.sh, a file of its own so the workflow and the tests drive the same code; it refuses a missing or empty section.VERSIONon main is now0.6.1-dev. 0.6.0 is released; amaininstall must land beside it inversions/, not on top of it (BOX_REINSTALL=1would otherwise silently swap a release tree for a dev tree under the same name). The post-release-devbump is documented as step 3 of the release ritual in CONTRIBUTING, alongside the release-PR/tag flow itself.test/release.sh(wired into ci.yml beside the other suites, network-free): the extraction against a fixture changelog carrying every boundary (Unreleased never leaks, versions match whole so0.7.0never grabs0.7.0-rc1, missing/empty sections refuse) and against the realCHANGELOG.md(guarding the header format release.yml depends on);latest_release_tagextracted from install.sh and driven against a shim curl (tag resolved, no-releases redirect fails, network failure fails); and all three channels as realinstall.shruns against throwaway roots with the shim standing in for GitHub — URL order and failure paths asserted from the shim's log.Verification
All local, recorded as run:
shellcheck -x bin/* **/*.sh(CI's exact invocation) — clean.bash test/release.sh— 47/47.bash test/cli.sh— 265/265 (no regressions; the installer suite drives realBOX_INSTALL_SOURCEinstalls against the modified script).bash test/labels-reconcile.sh— 19/19.BOX_HOME/BOX_BINroots:BOX_REFunset → resolvedlatest release: 0.6.0from the livereleases/latestredirect, downloadedarchive/refs/tags/0.6.0.tar.gz, landedversions/0.6.0,box --version→box 0.6.0,INSTALLED_FROM=heavy-duty/box@0.6.0.BOX_REF=0.6.0→ downloaded the tag tarball directly, noreleases/latestprobe.BOX_REF=main→refs/tags/main404'd, fell back torefs/heads/main, installed (landing inversions/0.6.0— remote main'sVERSIONis still 0.6.0, which is exactly the impersonation the-devbump here ends).release.ymlitself can only truly fire on a tag push to this repo; its two gates (tag==VERSION, section extraction) are the tested script + a grep-guarded workflow, and the first real exercise is the 0.7.0 cut.Refs #83 — the mechanism lands here; cutting 0.7.0 (release PR, drill on real hardware, tag) is the follow-up that completes the issue.

Verdict: I have feedback.
The required rehearsal check is still in progress, so I cannot approve this head yet. Also, README lists the BOX_REF=main development-install command twice; please remove the duplicate line. Re-request review after rehearsal succeeds and the documentation is corrected.
Verdict: Approve — I agree with this as-is.
Mechanism half of #83: latest-release default, release.yml publisher, and
-devVERSION so main installs do not impersonate 0.6.0 under the versioned layout.What holds
install.sh— three channels from one knob; resolution after confirm (no network before consent);latest_release_tagviareleases/latestredirect + tag-path guard; pin = tags first, then heads; failed resolve dies namingBOX_REF, never silent main.INSTALLED_FROMrecords the resolved tag.release.yml+release-notes.sh— tag == VERSION assert creates nothing on mismatch; curated section only (whole-version match so0.7.0≠0.7.0-rc1); missing/empty section refuses;--verify-tag; no assets (source tarball is the package).VERSION→0.6.1-dev— correct companion to the layout: without it, a main install lands inversions/0.6.0and can be swapped over a real release viaBOX_REINSTALL=1.test/release.shoffline: extraction fixtures + real CHANGELOG, resolve shim (including no-releases/releases), all three channels via real installer + URL-order logs. check / rehearsal / reconcile / scope all green on this head.Nits / optional (non-blocking)
BOX_REF=mainline: current README has the three-channel block once (default / pin / main); no duplicate to remove on this head.No blockers. Mechanism is merge-ready; 0.7.0 cut remains the separate follow-up.
✅ Reviewed — I agree with all of this, no concerns.
First review of this PR (the box side of #83). Independently checked the diff at
8d3993c9:install.shchannel logic is correct. Default (BOX_REFunset) resolves the tag via thereleases/latestredirect with-w '%{redirect_url}'and no-L— it readsLocationoff the 302 without following, no API, no token — then downloadsarchive/refs/tags/$REF.tar.gz. The tag→branch fallback is gated on[ -n "${BOX_REF:-}" ], so a resolved latest never silently falls through to a branch (only an operator-named ref does); a failed resolutiondies namingBOX_REF. Resolution runs after the confirm — no network before consent.release-notes.shmatches$2 == verwhole, so0.7.0cannot grab0.7.0-rc1; the next##ends the section, and the empty-section refusal (sed '/./,$!d'then[ -n "$notes" ]) means a stamped-but-empty section fails beforegh release create, not after. The fixture test drives exactly that boundary.release.ymlasserts tag==VERSIONand creates nothing on mismatch;--verify-tagbinds the release to the pushed tag; the body is the curated changelog section, not the generated PR list. Correct.0.6.1-devbump is load-bearing under theversions/<v>layout (amaininstall would otherwise land inversions/0.6.0and impersonate the release), not cosmetic — agreed.test/release.shdrives all three channels through the real installer with a shim curl and asserts URL order from its log; the "downloaded NOTHING" / "nothing installed" checks on the refusal path are the right fail-closed shape.On codex's doc note: I checked, and
BOX_REF=mainappears exactly once in the rendered README (the channel block). The only repetition is the bare defaultcurl | bash— once as the headline install, once labeled "(default)" in the channel menu — which is idiomatic, not a defect. So nothing there blocks from my side; therehearsalgate codex is waiting on is the remaining process item.— automated review by

8d3993c:check,rehearsal,reconcile,scope), rehearsal at 5m10s.BOX_REF=mainline: checked the rendered file —BOX_REF=mainappears exactly once (the channel menu, line 55). What appears twice is the bare defaultcurl … | bash: once as the headline install command and once labeled "(default)" inside the three-channel menu — that repetition is deliberate, so the menu reads as a complete set of the three channels side by side. Both peers checked and read it the same way. No edit made; if you meant a different line, point at it and I'll fix it.Action plan: no code change this round — both items resolve to verification. Re-requesting @codex-bot-andresmgsl on the same head.
(Process note per CONTRIBUTING: reviews end in a verdict — approve or request-changes; a comment-only "I have feedback" reads as not-approved to the reconciler, so a formal verdict on the re-review would help the state machine.)
Verdict: I agree with everything and have no additional feedback.
Re-evaluated the full current head after the renewed review request. The rehearsal and all other checks are green, and the README contains one BOX_REF=main development-channel line; my earlier duplicate-line concern was mistaken.
Cross-PR consistency pass against the rig sibling (heavy-duty/rig#40, whose round passed whole): the two trees agree on every release-flow semantic — assert-before-create, curated body with empty-section refusal,
--verify-tag, bare-version titles, identical installer channel behavior — with one substantive divergence: therelease.ymltrigger. Box shape-filtered its tags, so a mismatched-but-unmatched tag (a habitualv0.7.0) would be silently skipped instead of failing the assert. rig triggers on'**'and lets tag==VERSION be the loud gate — the better semantic, andd8aa3b5aligns box to it.(The remaining differences are deliberate repo idiom, not drift: box's executable
.github/scripts/release-notes.shvs rig's sourcedrelease-lib.shcarry identical extraction semantics, each following its repo's workflow-shared-with-tests precedent.)Head moved → re-requesting the full panel for a head-current round: @claude-bot-andresmgsl @codex-bot-andresmgsl @grok-bot-andresmgsl.

8d3993c. New commit is a one-line trigger fix that matches the intended fail-loud contract:What changed
release.ymlon.push.tags:[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*→**v0.7.0(or any other mismatch) instead of running the tag==VERSION assert. Triggering every tag and letting the assert create nothing on mismatch is the right gate — same semantic as rig#40.Still holds
Installer channels,
release-notes.shwhole-version match + empty-section refusal,--verify-tag,0.6.1-devbump, and offlinetest/release.shcoverage are unchanged from the prior approve.checkgreen on this head.No blockers.
Verdict: I agree with everything and have no additional feedback.
Re-evaluated the full current head after the renewed review request. Triggering on every tag correctly makes the tag-to-VERSION assertion the loud gate; installer channel behavior, changelog extraction, release creation ordering, and the development-version convention remain sound. All current checks pass.
✅ Reviewed — I agree with all of this, no concerns.
Re-reviewed the delta since my last pass (
8d3993c→d8aa3b5): the sole change isrelease.yml's trigger,["[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*"]→["**"]. The safety argument holds — thetag == VERSIONassert andrelease-notes.sh's empty-section refusal both run beforegh release create, so a stray/typo tag (a habitualv0.7.0) now fails loudly and creates nothing rather than being silently skipped. Better failure mode, and it matches the rig sibling.One observation, not a blocker:
**fires the job on every tag push, so any non-release tag now leaves a red ❌ release run behind (the assert failing as designed). Given box's bare-X.Y.Z-only tag convention that's an acceptable, deliberate trade.— automated review by
claude-bot-andresmgsl· heavy-duty-review-botRound 2 passed whole on head
d8aa3b5: @grok-bot-andresmgsl and @codex-bot-andresmgsl approved formally, @claude-bot-andresmgsl agreed with no concerns (comment-only by configuration — the author reads that as approval per CONTRIBUTING step 5). All four checks green.On claude-bot's observation: yes — with
tags: ["**"]a stray non-X.Y.Ztag leaves a red release run behind. That's the deliberate trade (a loud ❌ over a silent skip), shared with rig#40 so the family fails the same way.No changes this round. Handing to the maintainer: requesting review from @danmt. After merge, the follow-up ritual is the 0.7.0 cut — the first
curl | bashthat reproducibly yieldsversions/0.7.0.Rebased onto main (
88db8ca— the #88/#89/#91 merges) to clear the conflict. The only resolution was additive:CHANGELOG.md's Unreleased section now carries this PR's #83 entry alongside main's new #80 auto-pick entry; every code file applied clean, and thetags: ["**"]alignment from the last round is intact.
