Full skill instructions

cmux Release

Prefer the /​release command. It determines the new version (minor by default), gathers the Changelog line from each PR merged since the last stable tag, updates CHANGELOG.md, runs ./​scripts/​bump-version.sh, commits, runs ./​scripts/​release-pretag-guard.sh, then tags and pushes.

Changelog source

Feature PRs don't edit CHANGELOG.md. Each PR description has a ## Changelog section with one user-facing line (Added, Changed, Fixed, or Removed, present tense) or none. At release time, /​release step 2 fetches every PR merged since the last v* tag in one GraphQL query and classifies it with references/​changelog-lines.jq:

  • a Changelog line becomes an entry, with the PR link and -- thanks @user! for authors and reporters outside the core team (lawrencecchen, austinywang, teamleaderleo) and bots;
  • none is skipped, and so is a PR undone by a revert later in the range (a reapply leaves it live);
  • a revert of a PR that shipped in an earlier release gets its own line and is flagged for the human; reverts within the range are skipped;
  • a PR with no section, or a line without an Added/Changed/Fixed/Removed prefix, is listed for the human to check.

The release then folds any leftover ## Unreleased entries into the new version section and removes that heading.

The docs changelog page at web/​app/[locale]/(landing)/​docs/​changelog/​page.tsx renders from CHANGELOG.md, so there is no separate docs changelog source to update.

Version bumping

./​scripts/​bump-version.sh          # minor (0.15.0 -> 0.16.0)
./​scripts/​bump-version.sh patch    # 0.15.0 -> 0.15.1
./​scripts/​bump-version.sh major    # 0.15.0 -> 1.0.0
./​scripts/​bump-version.sh 1.0.0    # explicit version

This updates MARKETING_VERSION and CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION. The build number auto-increments and must increase for Sparkle auto-update to work. Bump the minor version unless explicitly asked otherwise.

Tagging

./​scripts/​release-pretag-guard.sh
git tag vX.Y.Z
git push origin vX.Y.Z
gh run watch --repo manaflow-ai/​cmux

If the pretag guard fails, run ./​scripts/​bump-version.sh, commit the build-number bump, then retry.

Release artifacts and secrets

  • The release asset is cmux-macos.dmg, attached to the tag. The README download button points to releases/​latest/​download/​cmux-macos.dmg.
  • Signing requires the GitHub secrets APPLE_CERTIFICATE_BASE64, APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD and APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY. CI notarization authenticates with the team App Store Connect API key (ASC_API_KEY_ID, ASC_API_ISSUER_ID, ASC_API_KEY_P8_BASE64) through scripts/​ci/​lib/​notary-auth.sh, which decodes the key to a mode-600 temp file that the caller deletes. The local scripts/​build-sign-upload.sh still uses an Apple ID and app-specific password.
