(magpie) 02/02: perf(release-rc-cut): render the RC command blocks as code, one file per outcome
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.
potiuk pushed a commit to branch perf/release-mgmt-1-rc-cut
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/magpie.git
commit 5c9a00aac28e80b16adf215923f4cddea1447bbe
Author: Jarek Potiuk <po...@apache.org>

perf(release-rc-cut): render the RC command blocks as code, one file per outcome
release-rc-cut had the agent compose every paste-ready block by hand
from ~10k tokens of prose: the signed tag, the reproducible source build,
one sign and checksum command per artefact and digest, the per-backend
staging sequence, the ATR upload, the self-check and the planning-issue
comment with its reproducibility record. A new tools/release-management
package renders all of it from what `release-config load` prints;
the agent presents the block and keeps the judgement. The tool runs
nothing: no git, gpg, svn, gh, aws or atr call, no key, no network.
Two rules the skill only stated in prose are now enforced in code: a
svnpubsub staging URL under dist/release/ is refused (Golden rule 5 had
no check anywhere), and so is an MD5 or SHA-1 digest. The exact-match
RC tag check (rc1 must not match rc10) is a `tag-exists` command.
SKILL.md becomes a router (9,962 → 6,503 tokens): each Step 0 blocker,
the refused renders, the self-check failures and the ATR staging notes
get their own file, and the prerequisites and references move to
siblings. Every Golden rule, Hard rule, JSON contract and the headings
the evals extract are unchanged.
The model-graded step-2, step-2b and step-3 (cases 1-2) suites become
pytest cases named after each former case; step-0 and the step-3
injection case stay model evals, the latter now given the real render
output. An integration test renders from a real `release-config load`,
so a renamed field on either side fails.
Also fixes the archive-review step number: rc-cut, the release-config
blocker, release-build.md and reproducibility.md said "Step 2f", which
in release-prepare is composing the PR; the review is 2e.

-plus a note saying whether the content SWHID equals the repository tree at the commit (nothing `export-ignore`d) or not.
-`build_command` (if any) follows, for convenience binaries only, with the same `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` exported so embedded timestamps are fixed:

-export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH="$(uv run --project <framework>/tools/reproducible-archive repro-archive epoch --ref "<version>-<rcN>")"

-
-*Convenience artefacts (optional, project-specific).* When `convenience_artefacts` is non-empty, follow the source archive with one block per entry:
-the entry's own `build_command` verbatim, under the same `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`,
-so the artefact is a function of the tag and a voter can rebuild it in `release-verify-rc` Step 9 (the check that decides whether a binary is good).
-The framework does not know how a project builds its wheels, jars or images; the config does:

## Step 4 — Propose planning-issue comment
-Compose a planning-issue comment that records the RC artefact list, the RC tag, and the staging URL for downstream skills (`release-verify-rc`, `release-vote-draft`).
-
-The comment must include:
-
-- The RC identifier (`<version>-<rcN>`).
-- The RC tag URL on `<upstream>`.
-- The staging URL (where verifiers can download artefacts).
-- The expected artefact list with filenames (not yet public checksums — those are confirmed once the RM has run the commands).
-- **Reproducibility record** — everything `repro-archive build` printed:
- the source commit hash, the repository URL (`https://github.com/<upstream>`),
- the SWHIDs (`swh:1:rev:` of the commit and `swh:1:dir:` of the archive content, with their `origin` and `anchor` qualifiers)
- and the note on whether the content SWHID equals the repository tree,
- the `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`, the sha512, the `source_archive_format` and `source_archive_prefix`,
- and the outcome of Step 2b (or `skipped`).
- A voter needs the commit and epoch to rebuild in `release-verify-rc` Step 9, the sha512 to compare bytes,
- and the `swh:1:dir:` to compare trees — with their own recomputation and with the value ATR computes for the candidate.
- Under `ci-automated` also the workflow run URL.
-- **Convenience artefacts** (when declared) — one line each:
- name, kind, where it is staged, its `reproducibility` mode and Step 2b outcome, whether it is `vote_included`, and the source `swh:1:dir:` it was built from.
-- If `--allow-unreviewed-archive` was used: a line saying the source archive contents were **not** reviewed and why.
-- The proposed next label: `rc-staging`.
-
-Present the proposed comment to the RM and ask for confirmation before posting (Golden rule 4).
-If the RM confirms, write the approved comment to `<scratch>/rc-cut-comment.md` and post it with
+Once the RM has run the commands, save what `repro-archive build` printed to `<scratch>/rc-record.txt` and run

+ [--run-url <workflow run URL>] [--allow-unreviewed-archive "<why>"]
+```
+
+`comment` is the planning-issue comment downstream skills read (`release-verify-rc` Step 9 rebuilds from its commit and epoch, `release-vote-draft` quotes it):
+the RC id, tag and staging URLs, the artefact list, the reproducibility record, the convenience artefacts, the unreviewed-archive line when the override was used, and the `rc-staging` label.
+`record_missing` names record fields the RM has not pasted back; ask for them rather than inventing values.
+
+Present `comment` to the RM and ask for confirmation before posting (Golden rule 4).
+If the RM confirms, write it to `<scratch>/rc-cut-comment.md` and post it with
`uv run --project ~/.claude/magpie/vetted-ops vetted-op --caller release-rc-cut repo-issue-comment <planning-issue-number> <scratch>/rc-cut-comment.md`

-- **Tag command** — the `git tag -s` + `git push` sequence to copy and run.
-- **Build command** — `repro-archive build` for the source artefact (or `build_command` under `custom`), plus `build_command` for any convenience binaries under `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`.
-- **Reproducibility self-check** — Step 2b's `check` / rebuild / `compare` block, or the explicit reason it was skipped.
-- **Sign commands** — one `gpg --detach-sign --armor` per expected artefact (omitted under `ci-automated`, where Step 2c's tag push replaces them).
-- **Checksum commands** — sha512 (and sha256 where configured) per artefact.
-- **Staging commands** — backend-shaped `svn import` / `gh release` / `aws s3 cp`.
-- **Planning-issue comment** — the proposed comment body (pending RM confirmation), including the reproducibility record.
-- **Next step** — run `release-verify-rc <version>-<rcN>` against the staging URL to verify signatures, checksums, license headers, artefact completeness and reproducibility before opening the `[VOTE]` thread.

+# Staging with `release_vote_backend = atr`
+
+The hybrid flow: `release_dist_backend = svnpubsub` hosts and promotes, ATR runs the checks and drives the vote.
+The signed artefacts land in **both** the dist backend and ATR, so ATR's Compose checks run and there is a candidate revision to vote on.
+ATR's Finish/publish is never emitted: promotion stays with `release_dist_backend`.
+
+The uploaded candidate is the one `release-vote-draft` votes on;
+`atr vote start` targets the latest uploaded revision by default (its `--revision` flag is optional),
+so there is no separate revision id to capture here.
+
+The block is a proposal like the rest; the RM runs it on their machine under their own ATR credentials.
+`atr_platform_url` from `release-management-config.md` is the target platform.

+# `release-management`
+
+**Capability:** substrate:release
+
+**Harness:** agnostic
+
+The deterministic core of the `release-management` skills.
+[`release-config`](../release-config/README.md) resolves the configuration and runs each skill's Step 0;
+this tool takes what `release-config load` printed and renders everything the skill hands the release manager:
+paste-ready command blocks, mail drafts, planning-issue comments.
+The agent presents the output and keeps only the judgement; the release manager runs every command on their own machine.
+
+**It runs nothing.**
+No command here invokes `git`, `gpg`, `svn`, `gh`, `aws` or `atr`, reads a key, sends mail or touches the network.
+A render that would emit something a skill must refuse (a `dist/release/` staging target, an MD5 or SHA-1 digest)
+exits `2` with `{"ok": false, "refused": "<why>"}` instead of printing a block.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Runtime:** Python 3.11+, stdlib only; run with `uv run --project <framework>/tools/release-management`.
+- **CLIs:** None. It reads files the agent saved: `release-config load` output, and text the release manager pasted back.
+- **Credentials / auth:** None.
+- **Network:** None; it never opens a connection.
+
+## How to use
+
+Save the configuration once per skill run, then render each step from it:
+
+```bash
+uv run --project <framework>/tools/release-config release-config load \
+ --skill rc-cut <version> <rcN> > <scratch>/rc-cut-load.json
+uv run --project <framework>/tools/release-management release-management rc-cut render \
+ --step 2 --load <scratch>/rc-cut-load.json --upstream <upstream> --project <project>
+```
+
+Every command prints one JSON object: the step's contract as the skill documents it, plus `text`, the block to show the release manager.
+
+## Commands
+
+### `rc-cut`
+
+| Command | Prints |
+|---|---|
+| `tag-exists --refs <file> <version>-<rcN>` | `rc_tag_exists`: whether `refs/tags/<version>-<rcN>` is among the refs the `tags` read printed. Exact match only, so `rc1` is not found among `rc10`. |
+| `render --step 2` | Sections 1–4: signed tag and push, the source build (`repro-archive build` for `git-archive`, the verbatim `build_command` for `custom`, both under `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`), one block per convenience artefact, one `gpg --detach-sign --armor` per artefact and one checksum per artefact and digest. Sections 3–4 are empty under `signing_mode: ci-automated`. |
+| `render --step 2b [--skip-repro-check] [--epoch N]` | The reproducibility self-check: source lint, rebuild and `compare --require-identical`; one rebuild-and-compare block per convenience artefact by its `reproducibility` mode. Skipped when both checks are off, or on `--skip-repro-check` unless `ci-automated` makes it mandatory. |
+| `render --step 2c` | The CI-signed trigger sequence and the trusted-hardware hand-off (`ci-automated` only). |
+| `render --step 3 [--asf-id ID]` | Backend-shaped staging (`svnpubsub`, `github-releases`, `s3`, `self-hosted`), the ATR upload block when `vote_backend` is `atr` (never a Finish/publish), and each `registry-staging` artefact's `stage_command`. |
+| `render --step 4 [--record F] [--self-check S] [--run-url U] [--allow-unreviewed-archive [WHY]]` | The planning-issue comment: RC id, tag and staging URLs, artefacts, the reproducibility record parsed from what `repro-archive build` printed, convenience artefacts, the override line and the `rc-staging` label. `record_missing` names what the release manager has not pasted back yet. |
+
+Refusals, in code rather than prose:
+
+- **`dist/release/`** — a `svnpubsub` staging URL under `dist/release/` is refused (the promotion-path denylist).
+- **MD5 / SHA-1** — a `digest_set` naming either is refused.
+- **Unconfigured backends** — `self-hosted` without `release_publish_command_template`, an unknown backend, or Step 3 under `ci-automated`.
+
+## Tests
+
+```bash
+uv run --project tools/release-management pytest
+```
+
+The scripted cases of the retired model-graded `release-rc-cut` suites live in `tests/test_rc_cut.py`, named after each former case.

+## Where the scripted cases went
+
+Steps 2, 2b and 3 are rendered by [`tools/release-management`](../../../release-management/README.md) (`release-management rc-cut render`), not composed by the model.
+The model-graded cases that covered them — every `step-2-tag-build-sign` and `step-2b-reproducibility` case, and `step-3-staging` cases 1–2 —
+are pytest cases with the same scenarios and assertions, named after each former case, in
+[`tests/test_rc_cut.py`](../../../release-management/tests/test_rc_cut.py).
+The tool also refuses a `dist/release/` staging target and an MD5 / SHA-1 digest in code, which those cases checked in the model's output.

-## Grading the command-output steps (`assertions.json`)
-
-Steps 2, 2b and 3 emit free-form command strings, so their `expected.json`
-files assert *properties* via `has_*` keys rather than exact text.
-Each fixtures dir ships an `assertions.json` that maps every such key
-to a predicate, so `--cli` mode grades these cases automatically.
-
-Predicate types used: `regex` (deterministic pattern match on a field),
-`field_true` (boolean field must be `true`), `empty` (list field must be
-empty), and `judge` (one-line yes/no rubric piped to the grader CLI for
-semantic properties). A predicate may add `"negate": true` to assert the
-*absence* of a match (e.g. `has_no_passphrase_arg`, `has_no_md5sum`,
-`has_no_sha1sum`, `has_no_working_tree_pack`).
-
-Assertions are read only from each suite's `fixtures/assertions.json`;
-per-case `assertions.json` files are ignored, so every `has_*` key a
-case asserts must be defined at the suite level.
-
-Decision fields (`verdict`, `backend`, `proposed`, `archive_reviewed`,
-`source_check_enabled`, `binary_check_mode`, `mandatory`, …) are still
-compared exactly. `section_2_build_command` is not compared to an expected value at
-all: the model wraps the configured build command in the spec's setup
-lines (`# Run at the release tag <version>-<rcN>`, the gitignore hint,
-a checkout, the `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` export) whose exact wording varies,
-and a reference string made the semantic grader reject correct output.
-Instead the `has_configured_build_command` **judge** rubric states
-that those setup lines are acceptable and that the configured build
-command must appear verbatim after a `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` export, while
-the deterministic `has_source_date_epoch_export` /
-`has_no_working_tree_pack` assertions pin the parts that must never
-vary.
-The step-2 fixtures for the legacy `custom` method state
-`source_archive_method: custom` explicitly; case-4 is the default
-`git-archive` method and asserts the `repro-archive build` invocation.
+## Grading the Step 3 case (`assertions.json`)
+
+The remaining Step 3 case asserts a *property* via a `has_*`-style key (`staging_url_not_dist_release`) rather than exact text.
+`step-3-staging/fixtures/assertions.json` maps it to a negated `regex` predicate on `staging_url`, so `--cli` mode grades it automatically;
+decision fields (`verdict`, `backend`, `dist_dev_only`, `proposed`, `archive_reviewed`) are compared exactly.
