Summary
Adds release-please so versioning, CHANGELOG, tags, and GitHub Releases stop being hand-driven (the v1.1.0 release was fully manual, and versions had drifted: root
0.5.0, widget/worker0.1.0, tagsv1.x)..github/workflows/release-please.ymlruns on push tomain.release-please-config.json+.release-please-manifest.json(seeded at1.1.0, matching the latest tag).include-component-in-tag: falsekeeps thevX.Y.Ztag format. Changelog sections mirror the existing.versionrc.json.extra-filessyncswidget/andworker/package.jsonversions to the root version going forward, ending the sprawl.docs/plans/2026-05-26-release-automation-and-cdn-design.md.How it works: release-please maintains a "release vX.Y.Z" PR from conventional commits; merging it cuts the tag + Release. It only pushes to its own PR branch and creates tags/releases, so it never writes to protected
maindirectly — no bypass token needed.Follow-up / setup
token:), or release-please can't open its PR.standard-versionsetup (.versionrc.json,release*scripts, devDep) is now superseded; left in place and removable in a follow-up once this is confirmed working.This is additive — no existing behavior changes until the workflow runs on
main.Note
PR #(cdn-auto-update) is stacked on this branch and adds the CDN/auto-update piece (including the step that commits built artifacts into the release PR).
