Release Assistant Features

Context Detection

Release Assistant detects release environment context before execution.

  • repository path and workflow readiness
  • host mode (github.com vs enterprise)
  • visibility signals where available

Guardrails and Validation

Input and mode guardrails are enforced before release commands run.

  • invalid path/tag/date rejection
  • release date format enforcement (YYYY-MM-DD)
  • required workflow presence checks
  • self-hosted policy guard for public repos

Authentication-Aware Execution

GitHub CLI auth is validated for notarized flow requirements.

  • gh auth status on GitHub.com
  • gh auth status --hostname <host> on enterprise hosts

Workflow Modes

  • full release
  • dry-run validation
  • hosted notarized flow
  • enterprise self-hosted notarized flow

Audit Logging

Each run emits structured audit context in the output stream.

  • timestamp
  • repo path
  • host
  • tag
  • mode
  • effective command

Advanced Actions

  • Homebrew cask update path
  • manual release creation via gh release
