Summary

This adds .github/workflows/release.yml, a workflow you dispatch by hand on main. It checks a release version, packs it with the existing package.yml and summarises what would be published. The checks and the release notes are C#, in a new standalone Cake script, cake-build/release.cake; the workflow only orchestrates.

It can't publish anything yet. The nuget.org push, the tag and the GitHub release come in a follow-up PR, once the nuget environment is set up. Merging this first puts the workflow on the default branch, so it can be dispatched and dry-run before anything can publish.

What's in it

cake-build/release.cake (new) is a standalone Cake script with three targets:

• Release.Preflight checks that:

  • the version is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-prerelease];
  • the top CHANGELOG.md entry is this version, with a yyyy-mm-dd date and a non-empty section;
  • the version isn't on nuget.org for any of the three IDs, and has no tag or GitHub release yet.

  --dryRun=true turns the "already released" problems into warnings. The checks fail closed: only a 404 counts as "absent". Any other status, a network error, or an empty or unexpected body is an error. It reports every problem, then fails once.

• Release.VerifyUnityPackage checks that the .unitypackage holds the Unity plugin and a version.txt with this version. It fails on an archive it can't read.

• Release.Notes writes this version's CHANGELOG.md section, the future GitHub release notes, to a file.

How it's run:

• From the repository root: dotnet tool restore, then dotnet cake cake-build/release.cake -- --target=Release.Preflight --version=2.0.1.
• The -- separator is needed because Cake reserves --version, the same as for Package. Without it, Cake stops with an error instead of running anything.
• It isn't loaded by build.cake and doesn't load any existing Cake file, and no existing Cake script changes.
• It needs only the .NET SDK 6.0+ the repo already requires, and no new add-ins. It reads the .unitypackage in memory with a small ustar reader, because System.Formats.Tar needs .NET 7.

.github/workflows/release.yml (new). It takes two inputs: version, and dry_run, which defaults to true.

• prechecks runs on Ubuntu with a read-only token and no secrets. It refuses any ref but main, then runs Release.Preflight.
• pack calls package.yml, so a release is packed exactly the way a manual run packs it. That includes its existing version-file check, the package-install test and the exact artifact-set check.
• plan:
  • runs Release.Notes and uploads the notes as a release-notes artifact;
  • writes the run summary: the four files with their SHA-256 values, and the release notes;
  • runs Release.VerifyUnityPackage.

.github/workflows/package.yml gets a 5-line workflow_call trigger with a version input, so release.yml can call it. Nothing else in it changes, and manual dispatch works as before.

cake-build/README.md gets a "Release targets" section on running the targets locally.

Design points:

• Permissions: permissions: {} at the top, and each job grants only contents: read.
• Concurrency: real runs share one group (release-nuget) and are never cancelled. Each dry run gets its own group, so it never queues behind a real run.
• The input must stay named version. package.yml reads github.event.inputs.version. Inside a called workflow, the github context belongs to the caller, so that is release.yml's dispatch input. A comment on the input says so. If the input were renamed, package.yml's version check would fail before packing.
• The shell that's left is glue: 28 lines across 8 run: steps. Inputs reach scripts only through env:.

The checks

Check	Where	Dry run	Real run
The ref is main	prechecks, workflow step (new)	Fails	Fails
The version is SemVer, with no leading v and no +build	Release.Preflight (new)	Fails	Fails
The top CHANGELOG entry is this version, dated and non-empty	Release.Preflight (new)	Fails	Fails
The version isn't on nuget.org (Core, Device, Server)	Release.Preflight (new)	Warns	Fails
The version has no tag and no GitHub release	Release.Preflight (new)	Warns	Fails
CommonAssemblyInfo.cs, version.txt and the Unity plugin's ProductVersion match the input	pack, the existing package.yml step	Fails	Fails
Packed versions, and the doors' exact Core pin	pack, the existing Cake Package target	Fails	Fails
Package-install test on the .NET Framework CLR	pack, existing	Fails	Fails
Exactly 3 .nupkg files and 1 .unitypackage	pack, existing merge-artifacts	Fails	Fails
The .unitypackage holds the plugin and version.txt at this version	plan, Release.VerifyUnityPackage (new)	Fails	Fails

The "already released" checks only warn on a dry run, so a dry run of the current version (2.0.0) exercises the whole pipeline.

What it can't do

There's no publish or github-release job, no id-token: write and no environment. A run with dry_run=false behaves like a dry run, except that the "already released" checks fail instead of warning. Its summary and a warning annotation say that nothing was published.

The follow-up PR adds the rest and removes that warning:

• the nuget.org push, with Trusted Publishing behind the nuget environment's required reviewers;
• the annotated tag and the GitHub release, which uses the release-notes artifact;
• the CONTRIBUTING.md release process.

How to try it

Locally, on any branch:

dotnet tool restore
dotnet cake cake-build/release.cake -- --target=Release.Preflight --version=2.0.0 --dryRun=true

That passes with five warnings: 2.0.0 is on nuget.org for all three IDs, and is already tagged and released. Without --dryRun=true it fails with the same five problems. If GitHub rate-limits the unauthenticated API calls, set GITHUB_TOKEN.

After merge:

gh workflow run release.yml --ref main -f version=2.0.0 -f dry_run=true

Expected result: the run passes. Also check that:

• prechecks shows the same five warnings as annotations;
• the pack jobs show their usual Node 20 and out-of-support target-framework warnings;
• the pack log shows package.yml's check ending "... are all at 2.0.0". That confirms the version reaches the called workflow;
• the summary lists the four 2.0.0 files with their SHA-256 values, and shows the 2.0.0 release notes;
• the run has a release-notes artifact;
• the Unity package check reports the plugin and version.txt 2.0.0;
• nothing is pushed.

Then re-run only the plan job of that run ("Re-run this job"). It should download output-package from the earlier attempt without packing again, and replace release-notes. The follow-up PR's "Re-run failed jobs" recovery depends on that.

The failure paths:

• -f version=2.0.0 -f dry_run=false fails at the pre-flight step: already released.
• -f version=2.0.1 -f dry_run=true fails at the pre-flight step, because the top CHANGELOG entry is 2.0.0.
• -f version=v2.0.0 and -f version=2.0 fail at the pre-flight step: not SemVer.
• --ref <any other branch> fails at "Refuse anything but main".

Testing done

• Both runtimes. Every target below ran on .NET 6 (SDK 6.0.421; Cake ran from its net6.0 build on runtime 6.0.29, confirmed by logging Environment.Version in a throwaway script) and on .NET 7 (SDK 7.0.408). The runner uses the newest SDK installed, through global.json's rollForward: latestMajor.
• The Cake targets, run locally with dotnet cake against live data (the main CHANGELOG, the nuget.org flat container and the GitHub API):

  • Release.Preflight:

    • 2.0.0 as a dry run passes with 5 warnings. With GITHUB_ACTIONS=true, they come out as clean ::warning:: annotations;
    • 2.0.0 as a real run fails with the same 5 problems;
    • 2.0.1 fails the CHANGELOG check;
    • v2.0.0, 2.0 and 2.0.0+build fail the SemVer check;
    • a missing --version fails.

  • Release.Preflight with synthetic 2.0.1 CHANGELOGs (--changelog): a valid entry passes, with LF and with CRLF line endings. A TBD date, an Unreleased heading, a wrong tree link and an empty section all fail.

  • Fail closed, against a local test server (--nugetFlatContainerUrl, --githubApiUrl):

    • HTTP 500 and 403, an HTML body, an empty body, JSON without versions, versions that isn't an array, and a JSON array all fail;
    • for the tag and release lookups, a 200 without the expected ref or tag_name fails;
    • an unreachable host fails after its retries;
    • {"versions": []} and a 404 pass as "absent".

    GitHub's real unauthenticated rate limit also came up during testing: the run failed with the 403 message instead of passing.

  • Release.VerifyUnityPackage on the published ably.pubsub.2.0.0.unitypackage (plain ustar, regular files only): it passes for 2.0.0, and also with directory entries and ./ prefixes added. It fails for 2.0.1, and for test archives built from it: plugin missing, a duplicated Unity path, a PAX header, a GNU long name, no end-of-archive marker, cut mid-entry, cut at an entry boundary, a bad header checksum, a malformed size, a truncated gzip stream, a non-gzip file and a missing file.

  • Release.Notes for 2.0.0 is identical to the published 2.0.0 release body, apart from GitHub's CRLF line endings. A missing or empty section fails.

• The workflow's run: steps, run locally in a copy of the repository (prechecks, release notes, summary and Unity check for 2.0.0): all pass, and the summary renders as expected.
• Lint: both workflow files parse. actionlint 1.7.12, with shellcheck 0.11.0, reports nothing for release.yml. Its only findings are two info-level ones in package.yml lines this PR doesn't touch. All run: blocks pass bash -n.
• build.cake is unaffected: ./build.sh --description lists the same targets and none of the Release.* ones.
• Not run on GitHub yet. A workflow can only be dispatched from a repo's default branch: either a fork's (not done) or main after merge. The first dry run after merge confirms the pack call.
• No .NET build or tests, because no product or test code changed.

Notes

• No existing Cake script, build.sh or build.cmd changes.
• The actions/* pins are the SHAs package.yml already uses. Those versions target Node 20, and runners force them onto Node 24 with a deprecation notice. Bumping them across the repo is a separate, optional PR.
• Part of Re-introduce automated NuGet publishing for the Ably.PubSub packages #1377. That issue stays open until the first release goes out through this workflow.

Walkthrough

Adds a manually dispatched release-preparation workflow with version and dry-run inputs. It validates changelog and release state, invokes the packaging workflow, verifies package artifacts, and reports release details. It does not publish packages or create a tag or GitHub release.

Changes

Release preparation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Release entry and package workflow contract .github/workflows/release.yml, .github/workflows/package.yml	Adds a required version input for workflow calls. The release workflow accepts version and dry_run inputs and configures concurrency groups for dry runs and real runs.
Release prechecks cake-build/release.cake, .github/workflows/release.yml	Validates SemVer and the top changelog entry, then checks NuGet versions, GitHub tags, and releases. Existing release state produces warnings during dry runs and errors otherwise.
Package creation and Unity package verification .github/workflows/release.yml, cake-build/release.cake	Calls the packaging workflow and verifies that the Unity package contains a nonempty plugin DLL and a matching version.txt. The script parses the gzipped tar archive and checks its structure.
Release notes and workflow summary cake-build/release.cake, .github/workflows/release.yml, cake-build/README.md	Extracts version-specific release notes, uploads them, and adds package checksums and release details to the workflow summary. Documents the release targets and options.

The release-preparation checks can accept some invalid versions or changelog entries, and the README overstates what happens to the generated notes. These are bounded, correctable gaps because this workflow does not publish, but the checks should be fixed before they are relied on for a release.

Explanation

The title "Add release workflow with pre-checks and dry run" matches the main change. The PR adds .github/workflows/release.yml, a manually dispatched release workflow with preflight checks and a dry-run mode, plus the cake-build/release.cake script that backs those checks. The title is short, specific, and does not use vague terms. It does not mention the Unity package verification or the release notes output, but the task allows omitting details.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Reject numeric prerelease identifiers with leading zeros in the P2 version check.

The regex on line 89 accepts 2.0.1-01. The comment above it says the check follows SemVer 2.0. SemVer 2.0 forbids leading zeros in numeric prerelease identifiers. Each numeric prerelease identifier must be 0 or start with a non-zero digit. Identifiers that contain a letter or hyphen can keep leading zeros.

Match the first ## heading in the top-entry check.

The check reads the first ## [ heading, so an earlier ## Unreleased heading is skipped. The check then passes for the first bracketed entry, even though an ## Unreleased heading sits above it. Select the first ## heading instead. The bracketed regex then rejects ## Unreleased.

Stop the changelog scan at any level-two heading.

The awk script ends the section only at ## [. A ## Unreleased heading, or any other ## heading, after an empty version entry counts as notes, so the empty entry passes the check. Change the exit pattern to /^## /. Subheadings (### ) do not match this pattern, so the scan still covers the full entry.

Describe the output as a release-notes artifact, not GitHub release notes.

Release.Notes writes the extracted section to a file. The workflow uploads that file and adds it to the job summary, but it does not create a GitHub release. Update this text to describe the current artifact and summary behavior. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @cake-build/README.md around lines 247 - 249:
Update the Release.Notes description to identify the output as a release-notes
file that the workflow uploads as an artifact and adds to the job summary; do
not describe it as GitHub release notes. Preserve the existing description of
the extracted CHANGELOG.md section and default output file.
