## Summary
The prerelease (snapshot) path of the release workflow fails immediately
whenever `main` carries an active `.changeset/pre.json` (i.e. during an
in-progress RC cycle, like the current v4 RC):
```
🦋 error Snapshot release is not allowed in pre mode
🦋 To resolve this exit the pre mode by running `changeset pre exit`
```
This blocks `chat-prerelease` snapshots from main even though the
snapshots are unrelated to the RC cycle.
Adds a conditional `changeset pre exit` step right before `Snapshot
version` in the prerelease job. The job runs on a checkout with
`persist-credentials: false`, so the `pre.json` deletion stays on the
runner's working tree — main's persisted pre-mode state is untouched,
and v4 RC publishes keep working normally.
## Test plan
- [ ] Re-run the `🦋 Changesets Release` workflow with `type=prerelease`,
`ref=main`, `prerelease_tag=chat-prerelease` and confirm it gets past
the snapshot step and publishes.
- [ ] Confirm `.changeset/pre.json` on `main` is unchanged after the
run.
## Summary
Enables shipping `X.Y.Z-rc.N` prereleases of `@trigger.dev/*` via
changesets pre mode. RCs publish under the `rc` npm dist-tag, never
claim `latest`, and don't trigger marketing-site changelog PRs. The
plumbing is hyphen-in-version detection in `release.yml` — no separate
workflow, no opt-in flag at publish time.
Validated end-to-end against a sandbox repo (real npm publishes, Docker
builds, Helm chart pushes, GitHub releases) before porting back. Full RC
lifecycle tested: pre enter → rc.0 → iterate to rc.1 → pre exit →
stable. Plus interaction with the existing release-branch hotfix flow.
## What changes
### `release.yml`
- New `is_prerelease` output (hyphen-in-version)
- GitHub release adds `--prerelease` flag for RC publishes (Pre-release
badge, not Latest)
- `dispatch-changelog` job gated on `is_prerelease != 'true'` — no
marketing-site PR per RC
### Docker workflows
- Removes the `:v4-beta` floating tag entirely from `publish-webapp.yml`
and `publish-worker-v4.yml`. v4 is GA; the tag is a misnomer and is
already inconsistent with the npm side (npm `v4-beta` dist-tag was
frozen at 4.0.4 months ago while Docker `:v4-beta` kept bumping).
Self-hosters should pin to a versioned tag going forward — the last
value of `:v4-beta` stays frozen wherever it currently points.
### CLI version-check fix
(`packages/cli-v3/src/utilities/initialBanner.ts`)
Switches the "new version available" comparison from JavaScript
`localeCompare` to `semver.lt`. The old comparison handled `X.Y.Z-rc.N`
vs `X.Y.Z` incorrectly — a user on `4.5.0-rc.0` would never be prompted
to upgrade once `4.5.0` stable shipped (lex order put the prerelease
ahead of the bare version). Real semver gets this right.
Stable users were never affected: the check queries the `@latest`
dist-tag, which by convention never points at a prerelease.
## How an RC actually publishes after this
1. `pnpm exec changeset pre enter rc` on main, push the `pre.json`
2. Bot regenerates the release PR as `chore: release v<X.Y.Z>-rc.0`
3. Merge → `release.yml` runs `changeset publish` which reads
`pre.json.tag` and publishes under `--tag rc`. GitHub release marked
Pre-release. No marketing-site dispatch.
4. Iterate by adding changesets normally; bot bumps to `rc.1`, `rc.2`, …
5. When ready: `pnpm exec changeset pre exit`, push, merge regenerated
PR → stable ships under `latest` and the marketing-site dispatch fires.
- Tags webapp images by full commit SHA on `main` pushes
(`ghcr.io/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev:<sha>`) so any commit can be
resolved to a digest easily.
- Adds OCI labels (`source`, `revision`, `version`, `created`) so
`docker inspect`, vulnerability scanners, and
registry browsers see source/commit/version directly.
- Signs each pushed digest with SLSA build provenance via
`actions/attest-build-provenance@v4.1.0` (pinned by SHA), enabling `gh
attestation verify oci://...` against the source commit and workflow.
Adds zizmor alongside the actionlint job from #3503. Both now run as
parallel jobs in a single `.github/workflows/workflow-checks.yml`,
triggered on `.github/workflows/**` and `.github/actions/**` changes.
Zizmor is configured with `unpinned-uses: hash-pin` policy via
`.github/zizmor.yml`, so any future unpinned action will fail CI.
Findings upload SARIF to the Security tab alongside CodeQL.
Bulk of the diff is cleanup of the findings zizmor surfaced on first
run. `zizmor --fix=all` handled most of them mechanically; the rest were
judgment calls.
Adds an `actionlint` job that runs on changes to `.github/workflows/**`
and `.github/actions/**`. Catches workflow bugs at PR time — expression
typos, deprecated runner labels, broken matrices, and shellcheck issues
in `run:` blocks.
Run from the official `docker://rhysd/actionlint` image, digest-pinned
alongside everything else.
Existing workflows had 6 shellcheck findings, all fixed.
Last action still firing the Node 20 deprecation warning after #3494.
`buildjet/setup-node@v4.0.4` (the latest tag) declares `runs: using:
'node20'` and the repo hasn't shipped a node24 update.
Workflows here run on `ubuntu-latest` (not buildjet runners), so the
buildjet fork wasn't giving us anything we don't get from
`actions/setup-node` directly. Swapping to `actions/setup-node@v6.4.0`
(node24 runtime) silences the warning.
Most actions in this repo were several major versions behind, which is
why every CI run has been emitting Node 20 deprecation warnings.
Pinning every action to a commit SHA (with the version as a trailing
comment) means each CI run uses the exact code that was reviewed when
the bump landed, instead of whatever a maintainer last pointed the major
tag at. Dependabot is configured to group all action bumps into one
weekly PR with a 7-day cooldown.
Worth flagging:
- The Claude Code action ships ~daily but the model is set separately
via `--model` in `claude_args`, so SHA-pinning the action gives
reproducibility without locking the model.
- The kubeconform container is digest-pinned
(`docker://image:tag@sha256:...`). Dependabot's github-actions ecosystem
doesn't track `docker://` references ([explicit TODO in
dependabot-core](https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/blob/main/github_actions/lib/dependabot/github_actions/file_parser.rb)),
so it needs manual bumps either way - but the digest pin protects
against tag repointing for free.
Wires up automatic Helm chart releases to ride along with the existing
changeset-driven package release flow.
Today `Chart.yaml` is bumped by hand and `release-helm.yml` fires only
when a human pushes a `helm-v*` tag. With this, the changeset release PR
also carries a `Chart.yaml` bump so main always matches the published
version, and `release.yml` invokes `release-helm.yml` via
`workflow_call` after Docker images are published.
`helm-v${VERSION}` tag is pushed as a marker (same GITHUB_TOKEN trick as
`v.docker.*`). Manual `helm-v*` tag flow still works. Chart.yaml
consistency check in `release-helm.yml` is the safety net if the bump
job ever drifts.
First rollout: the open `changeset-release/main` PR has stale
Chart.yaml. Bump it manually on that branch before merging, otherwise
the first automated helm release fails at the consistency check.
- Add .server-changes/ convention for tracking server-only changes
- Create scripts/enhance-release-pr.mjs to deduplicate and categorize
changeset PR body
- Create scripts/generate-github-release.mjs to format unified GitHub
release body
- Change release.yml to create one unified GitHub release instead of
per-package releases
- Add update-release job to patch Docker image link after images are
pushed to GHCR
- Update changesets-pr.yml to trigger on .server-changes, enhance PR
body, and clean up consumed files
- Document server changes in CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CHANGESETS.md,
and RELEASE.md
## Summary
- **Fix Docker publish automation**: The `v.docker.*` tags pushed by the
release workflow using `GITHUB_TOKEN` don't trigger the publish workflow
(GitHub Actions limitation to prevent infinite loops). Added a
`workflow_call` to `publish.yml` directly from the release job so Docker
images are built automatically after npm publish. Tags are still pushed
for reference.
- **Fix worker Containerfiles**: The coordinator, docker-provider, and
kubernetes-provider builds have been failing since the superjson
vendoring change in `@trigger.dev/core` (#2949). The Containerfiles now
run `bundle-vendor` before `build:bundle` to generate the vendor files
that esbuild needs.
### Context
- Docker images on GHCR have been stuck at v4.3.0 — v4.3.1, v4.3.2,
v4.3.3 tags existed on GitHub but never triggered publish runs
- The worker builds (publish-worker) have been failing on every push to
main since Jan 30
## Test plan
- [x] Verified kubernetes-provider Containerfile builds locally with the
fix
- [x] Manually dispatched publish workflow for v4.3.1 — all jobs
succeeded

## Summary
- Upgrades Node.js from 20.19.0 to 20.20.0 (and 22.12.0 to 22.22.0 for
supervisor) to address the async_hooks stack overflow DoS vulnerability
- Adds `maxDepth` parameter (default 128) to `flattenAttributes` and
`unflattenAttributes` to prevent stack overflow on maliciously deep
nested structures
## Details
The vulnerability (patched in Node.js 20.20.0, 22.22.0, 24.13.0, 25.3.0)
causes unrecoverable crashes (exit code 7) when stack overflow occurs
during async_hooks callbacks. Since the webapp uses `AsyncLocalStorage`,
it was theoretically vulnerable.
### Changes
**Node.js version updates:**
- `docker/Dockerfile`: 20.11.1 → 20.20.0
- `apps/supervisor/Containerfile`: 22-alpine → 22.22.0-alpine
- `.nvmrc`: 20.19.0 → 20.20.0
- `apps/supervisor/.nvmrc`: 22.12.0 → 22.22.0
- `references/prisma-7/.nvmrc`: 20.19.0 → 20.20.0
- All GitHub workflows: 20.19.0 → 20.20.0
**Defense in depth:**
- Added `maxDepth` parameter to `flattenAttributes()` and
`unflattenAttributes()` in `packages/core` to prevent stack overflow on
deeply nested user input
## Test plan
- [x] All existing `flattenAttributes` tests pass (50 tests)
- [x] New tests for depth limiting added
- [x] Verify Docker builds work with new base images
Changes in this PR:
- Arbitrary refs are now allowed when triggering the release workflow
manually (ref must be on the main branch).
- Release summary is now displayed in the GH job output; makes for a
nicer experience when approving the release workflow.
The manual trigger is currently enabled only for the prerelease job.
This PR adds it for the normal release flow too, as it is useful to
retrigger failed release workflows.
**Background**
Currently the changeset PR creation and the publishing is handled by the
same workflow. This is not ideal:
- The build steps are executed on every run of the pipeline, even though
they're only needed for the publish case.
- The PR creation workflow does not need permissions to publish to npm,
only the release path needs them.
- Adding an approval step is painful as we'd need to also approve each
changeset PR creation workflow run.
**Changes in this PR**
- Separated the changeset PR creation into its own workflow and minimum
permission set.
- Added a GH environment with an approval step for the package
publishing workflow (also for prereleases).
- New publish workflow runs will not cancel in-progress runs; helps
avoid partial failures in publishing.
These changes also enable hardening the npm OIDC setup by tying it to a
GH environment that requires approval.
Adds a manual trigger to the `release.yml` workflow for publishing
prerelease versions. Needs to be in the same workflow file due to a NPM
limitation on how OIDC claims are checked.
Currently there is a validation step on the ref for the prerelease: it
must be merged to the main branch. We can revisit this in the future in
case we find it too limiting.
This is a step which we currently need to do manually and it's rather
painful. The lockfile update is necessary due to cross references in our
packages.
Added it as a separate job instead of a step to start from fresh
workspace, as the state that the `changeset` step leaves the workdir is
not explicitly clear to the reader.
