PR Summary

Jira: https://opensesame.atlassian.net/browse/CORE-6263

Description of Changes

Version validation passed labels that Set Version Tags then tagged wrongly, or failed on partway:

  • The changelog check matched a substring, so ## 1.0.10 satisfied a 1.0.1 label. It now needs a
    ## X.Y.Z line, optionally followed by - title.
  • The workflow file check read isFile without calling it.
  • Two labels for one component passed validation, and both were tagged on merge. Now they fail.
  • An already-released version passed, and git tag failed mid-loop on merge. Validation now
    checks the remote's tags.

Set Version Tags now:

  • runs only for PRs into main;
  • tags the PR's merge_commit_sha;
  • checks every tag before pushing;
  • pushes them all in one atomic push, so a conflict pushes none.

The validation workflow drops its set -x output, turns off setup-node's package manager cache, and
cancels superseded runs per PR. VERSIONING.md lists the new rules.

Versioning

  • No — label this PR with v:untracked

Only the internal versioning pipeline changes.

Dependencies of PR

None. This PR merges before #167, which rewraps VERSIONING.md, so #167 will need a small rebase.

Testing

  • npm run check passes: 286 tests, and actionlint and zizmor are clean.
  • New tests cover the changelog heading matching, duplicate labels and released tags.
  • A workflow test runs the Create Version Tags step against a local bare remote. It checks that
    every tag is pushed, or that none are when one already exists or the push is rejected.
  • This PR's own Validate PR Version Labels run uses the new released-tags step.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Version checks now flag multiple version labels for the same component and versions that have already been released.
    • Release tags are pushed together only after all requested tags are available, preventing partial tag pushes.
    • Changelog validation accepts complete version headings with an optional title and rejects incomplete or malformed headings.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified that a pull request can include version labels for multiple components and documented the validation rules.

Validation let through labels that the merge workflow later tagged
wrongly or failed on partway:

- The changelog check used a substring match, so `## 1.0.10` or
  `### 1.0.0` satisfied a 1.0.1 or 1.0.0 label. It now needs a line
  that is exactly `## X.Y.Z`, optionally followed by ` - title` or
  ` — title`, which every existing changelog uses.
- The workflow file check read `isFile` without calling it, so a
  directory named like a workflow passed.
- Two version labels for one component collapsed to the last one here,
  while the merge workflow tagged both. VERSIONING.md already says
  duplicates fail; now they do.
- A version that was already released passed, and `git tag` then
  failed mid-loop on merge. The workflow now lists the release tags
  with `git ls-remote` and validation fails on a label whose tag exists.

The workflow also drops its `set -x` debug output, turns off
setup-node's package manager cache as the other workflows do, and
cancels superseded runs for the same PR, since only the latest label
set matters.

Set Version Tags ran for every closed pull request, so a labelled PR
merged into any other branch pushed release tags. It now runs only for
pull requests into main, and checks out the PR's merge commit so the
tags point at it explicitly.

Tags were created and pushed one at a time, so one that already existed
stopped the loop after the earlier ones were pushed. The step now checks
every tag against the remote first and fails without pushing any if one
exists, then pushes them with a single atomic push.

get-version-tags reuses the validation script's label filters and fails
on more than one version label for a component, rather than tagging
both.

Walkthrough

The changes add duplicate-label and already-released-version checks, tighten changelog heading validation, update pull request validation reporting, and change merge-time tag creation to check for existing tags and push requested tags atomically.

Changes: Component Version Lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parse component version labels
scripts/internal-ci/get-version-tags/index.js, scripts/internal-ci/get-version-tags/index.integration.test.js
The script rejects multiple version labels for one component before writing outputs. The integration test checks the error and confirms that no output file is created.
Validate component versions
scripts/internal-ci/validate-version-labels/index.js, scripts/internal-ci/validate-version-labels/index.unit.test.js, scripts/internal-ci/validate-version-labels/index.integration.test.js, VERSIONING.md
The validator detects duplicate labels and tags already released, and requires a complete changelog heading with an optional title. Tests cover these rules and workflow-path validation. VERSIONING.md describes the updated label and changelog rules.
Wire pull request validation
.github/workflows/internal_on_pr_validate_component_version.yml, .github/workflows/TESTS/internal_on_pr_validate_component_version.unit.test.js
The workflow passes fetched release tags to the validator, cancels earlier runs for the same pull request, and reports duplicate labels and released versions in its summary. Tests cover fetching tags and the failure case.
Create tags after merge
.github/workflows/internal_on_merge_tag_versions.yml, .github/workflows/TESTS/internal_on_merge_tag_versions.unit.test.js
The workflow targets pull requests to main and checks out the merge commit. It skips empty tag lists, rejects existing tags, and atomically pushes requested tags. Tests cover the trigger, checkout reference, and tag outcomes.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to a435b

The documented changelog format matches validation, and closing an unmerged PR does not create version tags. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation

The title "CORE-6263: fix version tagging and label validation bugs" matches the main change. The PR changes version-label validation (duplicate labels, released-tag detection, exact changelog heading matching) and version tagging (main-only trigger, merge-commit tagging, pre-push checks, atomic push). The title names both areas and includes the ticket ID. It is concise and does not use vague terms. Its wording is broad, but it refers to the real primary changes.

Document the em dash title separator.

The hasChangelogEntry regex accepts - title and — title. The text names only the hyphen form. An author who reads the text may think the em dash form is invalid. Existing changelogs, such as .github/actions/pr-open-check/CHANGELOG.md, use the em dash.

📝 Proposed fix

-- The header must be a line that is exactly `## X.Y.Z`, optionally followed by ` - title`

83-103: Trivial · Stability & Availability · Low value

Make the tag push tolerant of a concurrent release.

The existence check at Line 83 uses git ls-remote, so it reads the live remote. This is better than a local check. A gap remains between the check and the push. If two runs pass the check at the same time, one git push --atomic is rejected and the job fails. The atomic push prevents partial tags, so the remote stays consistent. The failure is loud but not corrupting.

Add a concurrency group for this workflow to reduce the window. Alternatively, report a rejected push with a clear message that says the tags were created by another run.

Based on learnings: a pre-check combined with concurrency locking does not fully prevent concurrent release conflicts, so the create step should tolerate "already exists" conflicts.

Steps without an explicit shell run as `bash -e`, without pipefail, so
a failed `git ls-remote` piped into `cut` and `sed` passed with an empty
tag list. Validation could then pass an already-released version, and
the merge-time check could miss a tag that exists. Both workflows now
default to `shell: bash`, which adds pipefail, as the reusable
workflows do.

A rejected atomic push now says that no tags were pushed and that
another run may have created one of them since the check, instead of
leaving only git's error. VERSIONING.md also names the em dash title
separator that validation accepts and existing changelogs use.

On the two nitpicks from the CodeRabbit review (a435b4e):

  • VERSIONING.md em dash: done. The text now names both - title and — title.
  • Concurrent release in Set Version Tags: partly done.
    • A rejected atomic push now reports that no tags were pushed and that another run may have created one of them since the check. A new test covers that case.
    • I didn't add a concurrency group. GitHub keeps only one pending run per group, so a third merge in quick succession would cancel the waiting second one, and that PR's tags would never be created.
    • I also didn't treat "the tags exist now" as success. A tag another run created points at that run's commit, so this PR's release would go untagged without a failure.

Is it safe to bypass review and merge? Low risk.

  • CI: every check passes on a435b4e. This PR's own label validation ran the new released-tags step.
  • Scope: only the internal versioning workflows, their scripts and tests, and VERSIONING.md change. No versioned component or consumer is affected.
  • Merge: the PR is v:untracked, so merging creates no tags.
  • First live run: the next versioned PR is the first to use the new tagging. If it goes wrong, it fails before pushing, and the atomic push leaves no partial tags. The worst case is a missing tag to push by hand.
  • Open PRs: CORE-6263: run Repo Checks in core-github-actions' own CI #167 and Update dependency globals to v17.14.0 #169 are v:untracked, so the stricter checks don't affect them.
  • Rollback: revert this PR.
  • What bypassing skips: additional human review besides myself. Claude wrote the change and CodeRabbit's findings are addressed.
