Bug (caught by the armed autocut)

The first armed autocut run cut auto-rebase v2.1.1 + dependency-audit v2.1.1 successfully (cross-repo, via gh api), but dev-lead's cut failed:

fatal: empty ident name (for <runner@...cloudapp.net>) not allowed

dev-lead is the one THIS_REPO agent, so its cut goes through local git (cut-release.shgit tag -a, an annotated tag), which needs a tagger user.name/user.email. A GitHub-hosted runner has none. Cross-repo agents cut via gh api (App identity), so they're unaffected — which is exactly why only dev-lead failed. Armed, the timer would retry + fail every 4h.

Fix

cut-release.sh now sources the shared scripts/lib/git-identity.sh and calls setup_git_identity immediately before the local git tag -a. Verified locally: resolves to donpetry-bot / 281750570+donpetry-bot@users.noreply.github.com. Sourcing is side-effect-free, so the test source-guard contract holds. +1 regression guard (helper is wired). 42/42 cut-release tests pass.

Validation

Acceptance = re-dispatch autocut after merge and confirm dev-lead v1.5.1 cuts (the same run that already succeeded for the two cross-repo agents). Will confirm on merge.

Refs: #1069 (autocut) · #959/#992 (cut-release cross-repo/promote).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved release tag creation so annotated tags work more reliably in local and hosted environments.
    • Prevented release failures when Git identity settings are missing.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for the release flow to confirm the Git identity setup is available during tag creation.

Warning

Review limit reached

@don-petry, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 51 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The cut-release.sh script now sources a shared lib/git-identity.sh helper and calls setup_git_identity before creating annotated tags in the this-repo tag path, ensuring a valid tagger identity. A new Bats test verifies setup_git_identity is declared after sourcing the script.

Code Review

This pull request integrates a shared git-identity helper into the release script and invokes it before creating annotated tags, preventing failures on bare GitHub-hosted runners that lack a configured git identity. A corresponding test has also been added to verify the integration. The feedback suggests making the script's path resolution more robust by using "cd -P --" and "pwd -P", and declaring the path variable as "readonly".

Pull request overview

Fixes cut-release.sh failing on GitHub-hosted runners when cutting this-repo (local) annotated tags due to missing user.name/user.email, by wiring in the shared git identity helper right before git tag -a.

Changes:

  • Source scripts/lib/git-identity.sh from scripts/cut-release.sh and invoke setup_git_identity immediately before creating the local annotated release tag.
  • Add a Bats regression test asserting setup_git_identity is available after sourcing cut-release.sh.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.

File Description
scripts/cut-release.sh Sources the shared git identity helper and sets a tagger identity before local annotated tag creation to prevent “empty ident name” failures on runners.
tests/test_cut_release.bats Adds a regression guard ensuring the git identity helper is wired when cut-release.sh is sourced.

In `@tests/test_cut_release.bats`:
- Around line 17-24: The current test only verifies that setup_git_identity
exists after sourcing cut-release.sh, so it does not protect the this-repo
annotated-tag flow from regressions. Update the test in test_cut_release.bats to
exercise the actual this-repo path in scripts/cut-release.sh by either invoking
main with stubs for git/gh and asserting setup_git_identity runs before git tag
-a configures user.name/user.email, or by asserting the source order around the
this-repo tag branch. Reference setup_git_identity, main, and the this-repo tag
path so the guard fails if the helper call is removed.

…ag cut (#1069) (#1075)

* fix(cut-release): set a git identity before the this-repo annotated-tag cut (#1069)

The armed autocut cut auto-rebase v2.1.1 and dependency-audit v2.1.1 fine (cross-repo,
via gh api) but dev-lead's cut failed:

  fatal: empty ident name (for <runner@...>) not allowed

dev-lead is the one THIS_REPO agent, so its cut goes through local git (`git tag -a`,
an annotated tag), which needs a tagger identity — and a GitHub-hosted runner has none.
Cross-repo cuts use gh api (App identity) and are unaffected.

Fix: source the shared scripts/lib/git-identity.sh and call setup_git_identity right
before `git tag -a` in the this-repo path. +regression guard that the helper is wired.
50/50 cut-release tests pass.
