dan-claude-bot b6205d81c5 feat(release): CHANGELOG.md and release.yml — a tag becomes the release it claims (#32)
The PR-then-tag half of box#83's flow, rig's side. CHANGELOG.md starts
with an Unreleased section (feature PRs land their entry as part of the
PR — box's convention, now written into CONTRIBUTING alongside the
release ritual). On a tag push, release.yml asserts the bare tag equals
the tree's own VERSION — a mismatch fails loudly and creates nothing —
then creates the GitHub release with that version's changelog section as
the body, extracted by changelog_section in .github/scripts/release-lib.sh:
one function, sourced by the workflow and driven by test/release.sh
against fixtures and the shipped CHANGELOG.md itself. No assets — for a
pure-bash tree, the tag's source tarball IS the package.

Changelog

History before 0.1.0 lives in git — rig grew its version surface (VERSION, rig --version, the side-by-side versions/<v> install layout; #35/#36) on the way to cutting its first release, and this file starts there.

Unreleased

Added

  • Tagged releases, and an installer that installs them (#32) — the rig half of the flow designed in heavy-duty/box#83, near-verbatim. A release is a PR, then a tag: the release: X.Y.Z PR bumps VERSION and stamps this file's Unreleased section with version + date; the merge commit is tagged bare X.Y.Z (box's tag scheme — no v prefix). release.yml turns the tag into the GitHub release — after asserting tag == VERSION (mismatch fails loudly and creates nothing) — with that version's section of this file as the body, extracted by the same changelog_section the test harness drives. No assets: for a pure-bash tree, GitHub's source tarball for the tag IS the package. install.sh now defaults to the latest release: the tag is resolved by following the releases/latest redirect and reading the Location header — no API, no token — and the download is archive/refs/tags/<tag>.tar.gz. RIG_REF picks the other two channels: a tag pins (refs/tags outranks a same-named branch), a branch (RIG_REF=main) tracks the development tree. Until 0.1.0 is cut the default channel has nothing to resolve and dies saying exactly that, naming RIG_REF=main as the way to install today — it never falls back to main silently, because "I installed the latest release" must not quietly mean "I installed whatever main was that second". Step 5 of #32 — pinning BOX_REF in the host-installs-box path — stays open until box cuts its next tagged release.
