Publish from CI on a merge to main - #55
Conversation
Every release so far was published by hand from a laptop, which is why the version that ships and the version in the repository have only ever agreed by attention. A merge to main publishes, subject to four gates. The version must match a shape this repository actually uses: a release, a prerelease, or a snapshot, since there is no strict discipline here yet and refusing snapshots would refuse the common case. A pull request labelled skip-publish is honoured. Changes that cannot affect an artifact do not trigger it at all, listed as a blacklist because a path forgotten there causes a harmless extra run while a path forgotten in a whitelist means a real release silently never happens. And a release or prerelease whose artifacts already exist is skipped rather than republished. The Maven repository accepts redeploys, so without this a merge that forgot to bump the version would replace artifacts consumers have already resolved. Skipped for snapshots, where redeploying is the entire point. The credential check exists so a missing secret fails at a step that says so, rather than as an authentication error against the repository that reads like an outage. It reports the length and never the value, because a test that prints the value on either branch is how credentials leak. gradle publish already depends on both modules' test tasks, so this cannot ship an artifact whose tests did not run. Requires MAVEN_NAME and MAVEN_SECRET on this repository, which it does not yet have. Until they are added the publish job fails at the check above, by design, rather than appearing to work.

- Line 45: Update the label lookup command in the workflow so failures from gh
api propagate and abort the job instead of being masked by the downstream tr
pipeline. Preserve an empty successful response as the
no-associated-pull-request case, while ensuring skip-publish labels are never
missed when lookup fails.
- Line 123: Add job-level concurrency to the publish job, using a group keyed by
the release version and disabling cancellation of in-progress runs. Keep
publication attempts for different versions independent while serializing
attempts sharing the same version.
- Line 111: Update the artifact-state check around the curl status assignment so
only HTTP 404 is treated as absent and allowed to continue. Treat HTTP 200 as
found, and fail the setup job for timeouts, network errors,
authentication/authorization responses, and all other status codes before
publication can proceed.
- Line 34: Update the action references in the workflow, including
actions/checkout, actions/setup-java, and ncipollo/release-action, to use their
full immutable commit SHAs instead of mutable version tags, while retaining each
original version in a trailing comment.
- Line 20: Restrict the publish job’s manual execution to the trusted main
branch by adding a github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' condition to its existing if
expression, while preserving other publication triggers and behavior.

Serialize publication attempts for the same version.
Two qualifying merges with the same version can both complete the setup check before either uploads an artifact. Both publish jobs then run concurrently, although the repository accepts redeploys. The result is a nondeterministic artifact and concurrent release mutation.
Add a job-level concurrency group keyed by the release version. Do not cancel an in-progress publication. GitHub Actions otherwise permits concurrent workflow runs by default. (docs.github.com)

A manual run can name any ref. The workflow would have checked it out and run gradle publish against it with the repository's credentials, so anyone able to dispatch a workflow could publish an arbitrary branch under a released coordinate. The publish job now refuses any ref but main. The skip-publish lookup could not fail. Its gh api call was piped into tr, and a pipeline's exit status is the last command's, so a transient API failure or a token without the scope produced an empty result that read as "no labels" and published a pull request that had asked not to be. This is the exact shape this estate has written down as a lesson and it was reproduced anyway: the call now stands alone, its status is checked, and the job stops rather than guessing. The already-published guard could not fail either. Only a 200 counted as present, so a timeout, a 401, a 5xx or a DNS failure counted as absent and let the publish proceed to overwrite the release the guard exists to protect. Only 404 means absent now; anything else aborts. Two qualifying merges can both clear that guard before either has uploaded anything, and the repository accepts redeploys, so they would race to define one coordinate. Publications are serialised per ref and never cancelled, since a half-finished one that uploaded some modules and not others is worse than a queued one. Actions are pinned to commit SHAs with the version in a trailing comment, matching how setup-gradle was already pinned here, and checkout no longer persists its credentials into the workspace for later steps to reach. The setup job asks for read on contents and pull requests rather than inheriting the default token. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <[email protected]>
Every release so far was published by hand from a laptop, which is why the version that ships and the
version in the repository have only ever agreed by attention.
A merge to
mainpublishes, subject to four gates.What it refuses to do
Publish a version shape this repository does not use. A release (
1.2.3), a prerelease(
1.2.3-alpha.4), and a snapshot (1.2.3-SNAPSHOT) are all valid, since there is no strict releasediscipline here yet and refusing snapshots would refuse the common case. Anything else is refused
rather than guessed at.
Replace an artifact that already exists. The Maven repository accepts redeploys, so without a
check a merge that forgot to bump the version would silently replace artifacts consumers have
already resolved. Both modules are probed, and any hit skips the publish with a warning naming the
fix. Skipped for snapshots, where redeploying is the entire point.
Run for a change that cannot affect an artifact.
paths-ignoreas a blacklist, not a whitelist:a path forgotten in a blacklist causes a harmless extra run, while a path forgotten in a whitelist
means a real release silently never happens.
Run when you say not to. A
skip-publishlabel on the pull request is honoured. Since thistriggers on push, where there is no pull request context, the merge commit is mapped back to its
pull request and that pull request's labels are read.
The credential check
A missing secret would otherwise surface as an authentication failure against the Maven repository,
which reads like an outage rather than like configuration. It fails at a step that says so instead.
It reports the length and never the value.
${VAR:+SET}${VAR:-unset}prints the value when unset,so it leaks on exactly the branch it was written to check.

Before this can work
MAVEN_NAMEandMAVEN_SECRETmust exist on this repository. Until they do, the publish job failsat the credential check by design, rather than appearing to work.
Deliberately not included
gradle-build.ymlusesgradle-version: current, which means CI builds with a different Gradle thanthe wrapper pins, so a wrapper bump never reaches CI. This workflow uses
wrapper. Changing thebuild workflow too would alter what CI runs for every open pull request, which is a separate change.
