…ily (#708) Release branches were operator-centric: release/vX.Y.x carried the operator, the chart and whatever agent version the chart pinned, and an agent change reached users as a chart patch on that line. That fit while agent releases were small fixes. It does not fit agent/v7.0.0, the Go rewrite, which ships between operator minors: tagging it on release/vX.Y.x would have forced either an early operator minor or a language rewrite dressed as a chart patch. The agent now has its own family, release/agent/vX.Y.x, cut from main when an agent minor or major is ready. All agent/vX.Y.* tags (RCs, finals, patches) are cut there; operator and chart tags stay on release/vX.Y.x. The two families meet at the chart: a new agent version reaches users through a chart patch that bumps the agent pin in chart/values.yaml, cherry-picked to the active operator/chart line. release-process.md gets the branch table, the rationale and a worked agent release, replacing the "Agent-Only Changes" recipe that tagged the agent on the operator line; versioning.md's branching section describes both families. gen-changelog.sh sources a patch section from the line's release branch, and it assumed release/vX.Y.x for every component, so cutting an agent patch would have looked for a branch that does not exist and skipped the RELEASE_NOTES.md promotion with a misleading reason. It now resolves the branch per component. release-tag.sh warns when HEAD is not on the component's branch family, since a tag on the wrong line is the mistake this layout exists to prevent. The repository's `release` ruleset now lists refs/heads/release/agent/* alongside refs/heads/release/*. Ruleset patterns are fnmatch, where neither * nor a bare ** crosses a /, so the nested family needs its own entry (or refs/heads/release/**/*); the doc says so. merge-gate.yaml already triggers on release/**, an Actions glob where ** does span /.

…#713) sigterm_grace asserted that progress held exactly one "start" and one "end" after the package pod was deleted mid-step. That is a transient state. Deleting the pod makes the Job count the attempt as failed whatever the agent exits with, so a replacement pod runs the apply stage again, and the shellscript steps declare idempotence: true, which both agents read as "run regardless of the completion flag". apply.sh runs twice by design, and the count passed in CI only by being taken within seconds of the first "end", before the replacement pod appended its own pair. On a real cluster the settled file had two pairs. The test now lets the package converge, then checks the property gracefulShutdown actually guarantees: the attempt that received SIGTERM finished. apply.sh tags each progress line with an attempt id, and one awk on the node checks that the id on the first "start" also appears on an "end" and that every start has an end, printing the counts when it fails so check_node.sh shows why. Counts or timing alone cannot catch the #672 regression: a killed first attempt leaves "start A, start B, end B", whose only end still comes a full sleep after the first start. Two docs record what running both agents on one node during release testing showed. agent/RELEASE_NOTES.md gains the v7 log-file differences the [out]/[err] entry did not cover: stderr is merged into the step's .log at mode 0600, where the Python agent wrote a 0644 .log and a .log.err that neither agent reaps, and interrupt logs are one <type>-<timestamp>.log per interrupt run, reaped to five, where the Python agent wrote one per operation and never reaped them; the directory is the same. The Breaking entry now claims unchanged log directories rather than unchanged log paths. docs/architecture/lifecycle.md said deletion cleans the state annotations off nodes and removes the runtime-required taint; the finalizer keeps nodeState_<name> and version_<name> while they record packages whose files remain on the host, and never touches the taint (#714), and the Deletion list now says so.

) * docs: add a root NOTICE and link the published docs from the README The repository had no NOTICE at its root, only THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, and the README never pointed at the published documentation at docs.nvidia.com/nodewright, which fern/docs.yml publishes docs/ to. Add a plain-text Apache-2.0 NOTICE naming the project, its copyright holder and first-publication year, its license, and where third-party licenses are listed. Link the hosted docs next to the README sentence that points at docs/. Signed-off-by: Alex Yuskauskas <ayuskauskas@nvidia.com> * docs: explain how issue priority is set and how to question it Priority lives in the native GitHub Priority issue field, set by maintainers during triage, but only .github/labels.yml and the agent instructions said so. Contributors had no way to learn that priority is never a label, what raises it, or how to ask for it to change. Add an "Issue priority" subsection under Filing Issues that states the existing practice: the field and its four values, that it is not a label and not set by reporters, the one factor SUPPORT.md already documents, and that a contributor who disagrees comments on the issue with context for a maintainer to decide. Signed-off-by: Alex Yuskauskas <ayuskauskas@nvidia.com> * ci: attach a verified checksums.txt to operator, agent and chart releases release.yml uploaded only the component's THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES file, so operator, agent and chart releases carried no checksums, while CLI releases already attach checksums.txt through cli-release.yaml. The upload step now copies the notices file it already selects for the tag's component into a fresh directory under its asset name, writes checksums.txt there in the CLI's format (sha256sum output keyed by asset name), verifies it with sha256sum -c, and uploads both files from that directory in one --clobber call. The file is staged rather than hashed in place because hashing the bare asset name at the repo root would read the chart rollup on an operator or agent tag. A missing or empty notices file now fails the step before anything is uploaded. Signed-off-by: Alex Yuskauskas <ayuskauskas@nvidia.com> * docs(contributing): note the checksums.txt beside the release notices release.yml now attaches checksums.txt next to the notices file on the releases it creates. Say so in the Release upload bullet, and say which releases lack it: those published before the step, and tags on a release branch cut before it, since a tag runs release.yml as it is at the tagged commit. Worded like the :latest caveat for release branches that predate #631. Signed-off-by: Alex Yuskauskas <ayuskauskas@nvidia.com> * ci: default the remaining workflow tokens to read-only Nine workflows either declared no top-level permissions or granted writes there. The repository's default workflow token is write, so every job in them that declared nothing ran with write access on push, tag and same-repository pull-request events, and OpenSSF Token-Permissions scores that 0. Each of the nine now declares permissions: contents: read at top level, the form the other workflows already use. Jobs that already declared their own permissions are unchanged. Of the jobs that inherited the default, only operator-ci's tests job needs more than contents: read: it logs in to ghcr.io with GITHUB_TOKEN to pull charts and images, and pushes only to the local ctlptl registry, so it gets packages: read. The rest check out, run linters, compare needs results, or upload coverage, which needs no write scope: Coveralls posts its comment from its own account. The two Fern workflows granted their writes at top level. They move, unchanged, to the one job each file runs: contents and pull-requests write for publish-fern-docs' create-pull-request step, and pull-requests write plus actions read for the preview comment job.

Description
Backport of #708, #713 and #720 from
mainontorelease/agent/v7.0.x, each cherry-picked with-x, so thatagent/v7.0.0ships with the right release notes, the branch carries the tooling the agent release recipe runs from it, and the tag's release job publishes the same evidence amain-cut release would. None of the three touches the agent binary or image, so this does not call for another release candidate.agent/v7.0.0final is cut withscripts/gen-changelog.sh agent v7.0.0run from this branch, and the first agent patch needs the script to resolverelease/agent/vX.Y.xrather thanrelease/vX.Y.x. The docs ride along.release.ymlprepends the## agent/v7.0.0entry fromagent/RELEASE_NOTES.mdat the tagged commit, so the two log-file bullets have to be on this branch before the final is tagged. The sigterm_grace assertion rewrite and the lifecycle doc fix ride along; the test is what the operator-agent lane exercises on this PR.release.ymlas of the tagged commit, so without this theagent/v7.0.0release would have noTHIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.mdandchecksums.txtassets and the workflows would keep their default write token.NOTICE, theCONTRIBUTING.mdandREADME.mdedits and the workflow permission blocks ride along.Not backported: the rest of
mainsince the branch was cut, which is operator fixes and dependency bumps. Three of the touched files still differ frommainfor that reason only:operator-ci.yaml(#706),security-checkov.yaml(#751) andCONTRIBUTING.md.How this was verified
All three cherry-picks applied cleanly.
bash -non the two scripts,yamllint -c ci/yamllint.yamlon the chainsaw test and every workflow, andmarkdownlint-cli2withci/.markdownlint-cli2.yamlon the touched Markdown all pass.
