Two things: a Discord announcement for stable releases, and the fix for a test suite that had quietly become a test of the Node version.

Announce stable releases in Discord

publish.yml gains an announce job. It posts one embed to a webhook bound to #releases, pinging the Notify: Releases role.

It runs last, and it cannot hold the release back. needs: [preflight, publish, verify-install] with no always(), so every one of them must have succeededverify-install is what proves the release is actually installable on all four platforms, and a channel told to install something that 404s is worse than a channel told nothing. Nothing depends on announce in turn, so a dead webhook can never block a published package. A red mark there means the message did not go out; re-running the job is the whole remedy.

The GitHub Release body is the source of record; CHANGELOG.md is the fallback. Stable releases are cut from the Releases page, and the notes written there are what the maintainer decided this release says. Announcing from the changelog instead would publish a different summary than the one on the release page, in the channel where more people read it. The fallback covers an empty body and a workflow_dispatch, which has no release event at all. Read from the changelog, a stable version also collects its whole -beta.* line — somebody moving 1.0.0 → 1.0.1 on latest receives all of it, and the stable section deliberately does not restate it.

Both note formats parse: GitHub's generated * <title> by @someone in <pull url> and the changelog's - <paragraph>. (#123). Entries collapse to their first sentence — the headline every changelog entry already opens with — and either trailing form becomes the same #123 link.

Three things are load-bearing and none of them are obvious:

  • The mention is in content, not the embed. Discord does not resolve mentions inside an embed; <@&id> there renders as raw text and pings nobody.
  • allowed_mentions: {parse: [], roles: [id]}. parse: [] is what stops an @everyone in somebody's release notes reaching the whole server; the role is then re-allowed by id, so exactly one thing in the message pings.
  • The description drops whole groups rather than truncating. The first version appended the [Full changelog] link and then cut the finished string, which on a 1.0.0-sized release cut the link off and ended the message on Stop sending anything about a… — a notification showing a third of a release and pointing nowhere.

Stable only, and both halves are required: a prerelease version is a beta nobody asked to be pinged about, and a stable version at a dist-tag other than latest would carry an install line that resolves to something else.

Preflight now refuses a stable release with notes in neither source — the one point in the pipeline where failing is nearly free (no cross-compile, no release assets, nothing on npm). Prereleases are exempt.

Setup required before the next stable release

Where Name Value
Repository secret DISCORD_RELEASE_WEBHOOK A webhook created in #releases (Channel → Integrations → Webhooks). The channel is a property of the webhook, not of this file.
Repository variable DISCORD_RELEASE_ROLE_ID The Notify: Releases role id (Server Settings → Roles → right-click → Copy Role ID, with Developer Mode on). Read from secrets too if you set it there instead.

Neither is required for the pipeline to pass: no webhook skips with a notice, no role id announces without the ping.

Stop the unit suite depending on the Node version

From Node 24 on, Node ships its own localStorage / sessionStorage globals, and they only work when the process was started with --localstorage-file. Without it the getter answers undefined while printing ExperimentalWarning: localStorage is not available. Vitest's jsdom environment makes window === globalThis, so that getter sits exactly where jsdom's Storage should be and wins — taking out all fifteen project-list.test.tsx tests with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'clear') on any machine running a current Node.

CI stayed green throughout, because the test job pinned no Node at all and took whatever the runner image happened to ship. The divergence hid in the one direction nobody checks: local red, CI green.

  • __tests__/setup.ts installs an in-memory Storage only where the runtime supplied nothing, so a real jsdom Storage is left alone.
  • The test job pins Node 22, so CI cannot silently drift onto a different runtime again.
  • publish.yml's build and publish jobs move to 22 with it. verify-install deliberately stays on 20 — the floor of engines.node. It is the job that stands in for a user, and the users most likely to hit a runtime problem are the ones sitting on that floor.

Changelog housekeeping

The 1.0.1-beta.2 section carried the canary-images entry twice — once with an unfilled (#PR) placeholder and once as (#705) — and opened a second ### Fixes block a few entries later. Both were invisible while the changelog was only read on GitHub. The announcement renders straight from these sections, so both were about to show up in a public channel. (The guard for the placeholder class is #715.)

Verification

  • bun run test:run — 3851 passed, 10 skipped, 208 files (15 were failing on this machine before the setup fix)
  • bun run test:e2e — 316 passed, 6 skipped
  • bunx tsc --noEmit — clean
  • bun run lint — 0 errors (5 pre-existing <img> warnings)
  • 47 new tests for the announcement (__tests__/scripts/release-announcement.test.ts) covering both note formats, the sentence splitter against real changelog prose, and every Discord limit against 1.0.0 — the largest release this repo has cut, 246 entries across 24 sections
  • 8 new drift guards in __tests__/ci/release-pipeline.test.ts, including "nothing may depend on announce" and "the release body never reaches a command line"
  • Rendered the real payload for both 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 from the actual changelog, and for a GitHub-generated release body

Summary

One medium-confidence correctness issue remains: the stable-release preflight accepts an empty changelog section as release notes, then posts an announcement with no highlights. Targeted container checks passed; the broader test suite was not run because its clean dependency install did not complete in the isolated container.

Changes

  • Adds a stable-release Discord announcement pipeline and payload generator.
  • Pins CI/release Node runtimes and adds a test storage fallback.
  • Adds announcement and workflow coverage; cleans duplicate changelog content.

Validation

  • Passed docker run --rm --network=none ... node --input-type=module -e '<empty changelog check>' — Reproduced that an empty matching changelog section is accepted with zero entries. (11s)
  • Passed docker run --rm --network=none ... node --input-type=module -e '<parser and mention guards>' — Verified generated release-body parsing and restrictive Discord allowed_mentions behavior. (1s)
  • Skipped docker run ... bun install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts && bunx vitest run __tests__/scripts/release-announcement.test.ts __tests__/ci/release-pipeline.test.ts — The isolated clean install did not progress beyond Bun startup; no configured validation command required this suite. (0s)

Findings

No blocking findings.

1 advisory finding
  • Medium/High Empty changelog headings satisfy the release-notes gate — collectRelease() returns a notes object for any matching section without requiring a nonempty lead or entry (scripts/release-announcement.mjs:179), while --check rejects only a null result (scripts/release-announcement.mjs:646). An isolated Node 22 run with ## 9.9.9\n\n### Fixes\n returned {accepted:true,total:0,groups:1,lead:""}. Thus a stable release with an empty matching changelog heading passes preflight and later posts an announcement without release highlights. (scripts/release-announcement.mjs:179)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a reusable release-announcement module, Discord payload generation, stable-release workflow gating, post-verification delivery, Node runtime pinning, storage fallbacks, and related tests and changelog updates.

Changes

Stable Release Announcements

Layer / File(s) Summary
Announcement parsing and payload generation
scripts/release-announcement.mjs
Parses release notes, summarizes entries, preserves changelog links, enforces Discord limits, restricts role mentions, and supports CLI validation and JSON output.
Announcement behavior tests
__tests__/scripts/release-announcement.test.ts
Tests parsing, note selection, truncation, dependency handling, mention safety, and Discord payload limits.
Release workflow gating and delivery
.github/workflows/publish.yml, __tests__/ci/release-pipeline.test.ts
Validates notes for stable releases and posts eligible announcements after publication and installation verification. Webhook retries and failure handling are included.
Runtime compatibility and release records
.github/workflows/ci.yml, __tests__/setup.ts, CHANGELOG.md
Pins test, build, and publish execution to Node 22, keeps installation verification on Node 20, adds in-memory storage fallbacks, and records release changes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 18776

The release workflow can still treat an empty matching changelog section as valid notes, allowing a stable release announcement with no content, while retries or reruns may duplicate an announcement after an ambiguous webhook result. These are bounded but actionable merge-readiness risks that should be fixed or explicitly accepted.

The worst-case test passes even when the 1.0.0 section disappears.

collectRelease returns null when CHANGELOG.md has no ## 1.0.0 section. buildDiscordPayload accepts null notes and produces a tiny payload, so every limit assertion still passes and the largest-release case is no longer covered.

Assert that real is not null and carries the expected scale.

The test name claims ordering, but the assertions do not check it.

The test asserts only that the step exists, is gated on is_prerelease == 'false', and passes --check. It does not verify that the step is in preflight's step list before the steps that follow it, nor that preflight precedes the build jobs. The job-level ordering is already implied by needs, but the step index is not.

Add an index comparison if the ordering is the property under test.

984-1012: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The 429 branch ignores Discord's Retry-After and retries after a fixed 5 seconds.

Discord returns Retry-After (and retry_after in the JSON body) on a rate-limited webhook post. A fixed 5-second wait across three attempts can exhaust the loop while the bucket is still closed, and the job then fails on a release that published correctly.

Read the header and sleep for the value it reports, bounded to a maximum.

Reject empty changelog sections as release notes.

collectRelease returns a non-null object when ## ${version} exists, even if lead is empty and every group has zero entries. main --check then accepts the release, so a stable release with an empty section can pass preflight and produce an announcement without highlights. Return null when the collected release has no lead and no entries. Add a regression test for an empty stable section.

Honor Discord’s server-provided rate-limit delay.

The 429 branch writes the response body to "$BODY" but ignores it and always sleeps five seconds. Discord returns retry_after in the 429 JSON response, and may return Retry-After; a longer delay can exhaust all three attempts. Parse retry_after, cap it to an operational maximum, and sleep for that value before retrying.

Make webhook delivery idempotent before retrying ambiguous failures.

Discord does not deduplicate repeated webhook executions. If Discord accepts the POST but the runner loses the response, a timeout or 5xx retry can create a duplicate announcement. A workflow rerun can also create a duplicate because the job has no sent marker, message lookup, or reconciliation step.

Use a durable sent marker or reconcile an existing message before retrying or rerunning.

loop to read the server-provided retry delay from "$BODY", supporting
retry_after in the JSON response and Retry-After when available, while applying
a reasonable maximum cap. Sleep for the parsed, capped delay before the next
attempt instead of always sleeping five seconds, with a safe fallback when the
response does not contain a valid delay.

  • Medium/High Node 22 pin does not control the test runtime — The test job installs Bun as latest at lines 231-233 and invokes bun run test:run at line 266. actions/setup-node at lines 256-258 therefore does not select the runtime executing Vitest; an isolated Bun run of a Node-shebang package script reported Bun 1.3.14 / Node-compat v24.3.0. CI can still drift with Bun latest despite the new Node 22 step. (.github/workflows/ci.yml:266)

…Node's version

publish.yml gains an `announce` job that posts one embed to a #releases
webhook with the "Notify: Releases" role pinged. It runs LAST — after the
registry check and all four verify-install legs — because a channel told to
install something that 404s is worse than a channel told nothing, and nothing
depends on it, so a dead webhook can never hold back a published package.

The GitHub Release body is the source of record and CHANGELOG.md the fallback:
stable releases are cut from the Releases page, and announcing from the
changelog instead would publish a different summary than the one on the
release page. The fallback covers an empty body and a workflow_dispatch, which
has no release event at all; read from the changelog, a stable version also
collects its whole -beta.* line, since somebody moving 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 on
`latest` receives all of it.

Three things are load-bearing and none are obvious: the mention goes in
`content` because Discord does not resolve mentions inside an embed;
allowed_mentions {parse: [], roles: [id]} is what stops an @everyone in
somebody's release notes reaching the whole server; and the description is
fitted by dropping whole groups rather than truncating, because the first
version cut the trailing [Full changelog] link off a 1.0.0-sized release.

Separately: from Node 24 on, Node ships its own localStorage global, which
needs --localstorage-file and otherwise shadows jsdom's with undefined. That
took out all fifteen project-list tests on any contributor running a current
Node while CI stayed green on whatever its runner image shipped — local red,
CI green, the one direction nobody checks. setup.ts polyfills it only where
the runtime supplied nothing, and the test job pins Node 22 so CI cannot drift
again. publish.yml's build and publish jobs move to 22; verify-install stays
on 20, the floor of engines.node, because it stands in for a user.

It said CHANGELOG.md has no '## <version>' section, but the check is
satisfied by any '<version>-*' prerelease section too — which is the normal
case for a stable cut, since the beta line is what a stable release carries.
Also fixes '1 entries'.

It reads the tree and POSTs to a webhook, writing nothing, while holding a
credential that can post to a public channel. Without a permissions block it
inherited the repository or organization default, which may carry write
scopes it has no use for. Raised by CodeRabbit on #721.

  • Medium/High Empty changelog headings satisfy the release-notes gate — collectRelease() returns an object whenever it finds a matching heading (scripts/release-announcement.mjs:177-211), even when its lead is empty and every group has zero entries. main() treats any such object as valid for --check (lines 645-657). In a nested container, an input containing only ## 9.9.9 and ### Fixes exited 0 and reported 9.9.9 has release notes (0 entries...). Thus a stable release with an empty GitHub body and empty changelog section passes preflight and posts an announcement without notes. (scripts/release-announcement.mjs:204)
  • Medium/High Ambiguous webhook failures can create duplicate release pings — The post loop retries every curl failure and all non-4xx responses at .github/workflows/publish.yml:991-1018. If Discord accepts a POST but the runner loses the response, curl yields 000 and the next attempt posts the same payload again. The job also explicitly instructs operators to rerun it after a failure (line 1021), but no per-tag sent marker or Discord message identifier is recorded, so reruns can duplicate the announcement and its role mention. (.github/workflows/publish.yml:991)

Comment thread .github/workflows/publish.yml
A Discord webhook has no idempotency key: every accepted POST creates another
message, role ping and all. The retry loop repeated on any curl failure, so a
response lost after the body went out — curl 28 timeout, 52 empty reply, 55/56
send and recv errors — announced the release a second time.

Only the exits that mean the request never left the runner are retried now (5,
6, 7, 35, 60: unresolved host or proxy, refused connection, TLS handshake
failure). An ambiguous outcome stops immediately and says so, naming the
releases channel to check before re-running, because a duplicate announcement
is worse than a missing one somebody re-runs deliberately. HTTP answers are
unambiguous by construction — 429 and 5xx mean no message was created and stay
retryable; a 4xx is deterministic and still breaks out.

A durable per-release message-id marker would close the re-run case too, but it
needs write scope on a job deliberately held at contents: read, and a stateful
dependency in the release pipeline is a poor trade against a duplicate chat
message. Raised by hermes-exosphere on #721.

Reject empty changelog sections.

An empty matching ## <version> heading currently satisfies the stable-release notes check. This allows publishing to continue when the release has no announcement content.

Require the resolved release-body or changelog source to contain a non-empty lead or at least one parsed entry. Add coverage for an empty matching changelog heading.

Comment thread __tests__/ci/release-pipeline.test.ts Outdated
The test rejected the four ambiguous exits it named and would have passed
anything else — a denylist catching only the failure modes somebody thought
of, which is the exact shape the shell avoids. It now asserts the set equals
5 6 7 35 60, and pins the 4xx break inside its own case branch rather than
anywhere in the script. Raised by CodeRabbit on #721.
