### Continuous integration

Every pull request is compiled by GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`): the app and its
test target are built for a generic iOS device with code signing off, on a free macOS runner.
`main` requires that check to pass before a PR can merge, and that applies to maintainers too.

GitHub repository rulesets required status checks direct push require pull request before merging rule docs

💡 Result:

To **require pull requests and block ordinary direct pushes** to a branch, create a repository ruleset targeting that branch and enable:

- **Require a pull request before merging** — changes to the target branch must go through a pull request. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-rulesets/available-rules-for-rulesets?utm_source=openai))
- **Require status checks to pass before merging** — add the check names you require; GitHub says the checks must pass before a pull request can merge. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-rulesets/creating-rulesets-for-a-repository?utm_source=openai))

**Watch the bypass list:** actors granted bypass can get around rules. If you want an actor to bypass branch protections *only through a PR*, GitHub’s ruleset setup offers **For pull requests only** for that bypass option. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud%40latest/organizations/managing-organization-settings/creating-rulesets-for-repositories-in-your-organization?utm_source=openai))

Do not claim that direct pushes to main are rejected.

The active main ruleset requires the CI check, but it does not require changes to go through a pull request. Keep the CI requirement and remove the direct-push guarantee.

🐛 Suggested fix 
-4. Open a pull request. `main` is protected, so the release commits go through CI like any
-   other change; direct pushes to `main` are rejected.
+4. Open a pull request. The active ruleset requires `Build app + tests (iOS device, unsigned)` to
+   pass before a pull request can merge.

Review comment at @CONTRIBUTING.md at line 276:
Update step 4 in the release instructions to remove the claim that direct pushes
to main are rejected. Keep the CI check requirement, stating that it must pass
before a pull request can merge without implying that changes must go through a
pull request.

review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr


The workflow copies `Config.xcconfig.example` and `OpenVision/Config/Config.swift.example` into
place, so no secrets are needed to compile. If CI fails on your PR, open the job's log; the
`.xcactivitylog` files are attached as an artifact when the build step fails.

## Release Process

1. Version follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/)
2. Update `CHANGELOG.md`
3. Create release tag
4. GitHub Action builds and publishes
Releases are cut by a maintainer. Version numbers follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/):
a new backend or feature bumps the minor version, fixes alone bump the patch version.

Add the major-version rule.

These instructions assign new features to minor bumps, but SemVer requires a major bump for incompatible public-API changes. State that minor bumps apply to backward-compatible features and major bumps apply to incompatible changes. (semver.org)

Review comment at @CONTRIBUTING.md around lines 284 - 285:
Update the release-version guidance to distinguish compatible from incompatible
changes: reserve minor bumps for backward-compatible features and specify major
bumps for incompatible public API changes, while retaining the existing patch
guidance for fixes.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr


1. Open a release branch from `main` (for example `release/2.15.0`).
2. Update `CHANGELOG.md`: move everything merged since the last release under a new
`## [x.y.z] - YYYY-MM-DD` heading, grouped as Added / Changed / Fixed, with the PR number
on each line.
3. Bump `MARKETING_VERSION` and `CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION` in `project.yml`, run `xcodegen generate`,
and commit as `Bump version to x.y.z (build N)`.
4. Open a pull request. `main` is protected, so the release commits go through CI like any
other change; direct pushes to `main` are rejected.
5. After the merge, tag the merge commit and publish the release with narrative notes and a
compare link:

```bash
git tag -a vx.y.z -m "OpenVision x.y.z"
git push origin vx.y.z
gh release create vx.y.z --title "OpenVision x.y.z" --notes-file notes.md
```
