Closes #1076

Implemented by dev-lead agent. Please review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • autocut now reuses an existing release version when the current main branch commit is already tagged, instead of always creating a new version.
    • When reusing a release, next is moved forward to that existing version automatically.
    • Dry-run mode now reflects this reuse flow.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling for tagged releases on the current main commit, including annotated tags and multiple matching tags.
    • Partial failures during the promotion step are now treated as warnings, reducing unnecessary sweep failures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a helper to detect an existing <agent>/vX.Y.Z release tag pointing at a target commit and updates the autocut flow to reuse that tag via cut-release.sh --promote instead of minting a new version, avoiding orphan tags on retry. Bats tests cover the new reuse, dry-run, and annotated-tag paths.

Changes

Autocut Idempotent Reuse

Layer / File(s) Summary
Host commit-tag lookup and reuse path
scripts/canary-rollout.sh
Adds _host_release_version_at_commit to find the highest semver <agent>/vX.Y.Z tag dereferencing to a given commit, and updates _autocut_agent to skip cutting a new version and instead promote next onto the existing tag when main HEAD already has one, with dry-run messaging and best-effort failure handling.
Test stubs and reuse coverage
tests/canary_rollout.bats
Extends _autocut_stub and its gh stub to simulate release-at-commit lookups (including annotated-tag dereference), and adds tests for reuse-at-HEAD, retry idempotency, fallback bump path, dry-run output, annotated tags, and highest-semver tag selection.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Code Review

This pull request introduces idempotent release tag reuse in the canary rollout script to prevent duplicate release tags on retries after partial failures. It adds a helper function to find existing release tags at a target commit and updates the autocut logic to promote the existing tag instead of cutting a new version. The feedback suggests validating positional parameters and initializing local variables in the new helper function to prevent unbound variable crashes under set -u, as well as guarding a command substitution in the tests with || true to avoid premature test failures under set -e.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the canary-rollout autocut orchestrator to be idempotent when a release tag already exists at the target commit (main HEAD), reusing that existing <agent>/vX.Y.Z tag and moving next via cut-release.sh --promote to prevent repeated orphan tag creation after partial failures (issue #1076).

Changes:

  • Added _host_release_version_at_commit and integrated it into _autocut_agent to reuse an existing release tag at main HEAD and move next via --promote instead of cutting a new version.
  • Extended the Bats autocut stubs and added new tests covering the reuse path, retry-after-partial-failure behavior, and dry-run output for the reuse path.

Cascade: triage → deep (triage: haiku 4.5 → deep: opus 4.8 + duck: o4-mini → audit: fable 5)

Summary

PR #1078 makes canary-rollout autocut idempotent: when an /vX.Y.Z release tag already points at main HEAD it reuses it via cut-release.sh --promote instead of minting a duplicate on retry-after-partial-failure (#1076). Triage escalated on two advisory-bot findings, but on deep review both are defensive-programming nits, not real bugs: the new helper is only ever called with two args (and already guards empty commit), its read-populated locals are referenced only after assignment, and the test's grep -c exits 0 on the single-line passing path. No auth/secrets/crypto/migrations/injection/eval; all gates pass (shellcheck, bats, CodeQL, SonarCloud 0 issues, gitleaks, AgentShield). Downstream impact: (none). Secret-scanning MCP tool not exposed in this environment; diff contains no secret-like content.

Findings

  • MINOR: Gemini (HIGH) suggests validating $# and initializing read-populated locals in _host_release_version_at_commit for set -u safety. Non-blocking: the function is only ever invoked with two args ("$agent" "$mainsha"), already guards empty commit, and ref/obj/type are referenced only inside the while-read loop after assignment. Matches existing repo convention (e.g. _autocut_agent uses local agent=$1 dry=$2 with no $# check). shellcheck CI passes.
  • INFO: Gemini (LOW) suggests guarding grep -c with || true. Non-blocking: in the passing path CUT_LOG has exactly one line so grep -c exits 0; bats does not set inherit_errexit, so a hypothetical 0-match case still fails the [ ] test cleanly rather than erroring. bats CI passes.
  • INFO: Reuse logic and annotated-tag dereference mirror existing _gh_candidate_cut_date; tests cover reuse path, retry-convergence (exactly one cut-release invocation), preserved bump path when no tag points at main HEAD, and dry-run. Good coverage. SonarCloud quality gate: 0 new issues.

@don-petry I reviewed this PR and no code changes were needed, but it still has blocking checks or reviews (failing or cancelled checks, or changes-requested reviews), so I cannot mark it done yet. I'll re-check automatically.

Auto-rebase failed — merge conflict — this branch has conflicts with main that must be resolved.

dev-lead will attempt to resolve this automatically. If it cannot, a follow-up comment will explain what needs manual attention.

To resolve manually instead:

git fetch origin
git merge origin/main
# resolve conflicts, then:
git add .
git commit
git push

Summary

PR #1078 makes canary-rollout autocut idempotent: when an /vX.Y.Z release tag already points at main HEAD it reuses it via cut-release.sh --promote instead of minting a duplicate on retry-after-partial-failure (#1076). Code is correct and well-tested (helper _host_release_version_at_commit guards $#<2, initializes locals, dereferences annotated tags, and picks the highest semver; max_semver/_agent_field exist and mainsha/defbranch/host are in scope); no auth/secrets/crypto/migrations/injection/eval, and all real CI checks are green (shellcheck, bats, unit-tests, CodeQL, SonarCloud 0 issues, gitleaks, AgentShield). Not a security concern, so no Tier 3 audit — but a gate fails: the branch is CONFLICTING/DIRTY and cannot merge (reviewDecision REVIEW_REQUIRED), so it is escalated rather than approved. Downstream impact: (none).

Findings

  • MAJOR: Blocking gate failure: mergeable=CONFLICTING (mergeStateStatus=DIRTY). The branch has unresolved conflicts with main and cannot be merged; auto-rebase reported a merge conflict at head 4bc925f. Must be rebased/resolved before merge. This is the primary reason for escalation (not a security risk).
  • INFO: Only non-success checks are dev-lead/dispatch and dev-lead/ci-relay (CANCELLED, expected for [skip ci-relay] branch commits) plus dependency-audit sub-jobs and dependabot-automerge (SKIPPED, no matching ecosystems). All substantive quality/security checks pass. The triage 'dev-lead agent runs cancelled' signal is expected noise, not a real failure.
  • MINOR: Advisory nits from Gemini (validate $# / init read-populated locals in _host_release_version_at_commit for set -u; guard grep -c with || true in tests) are already satisfied at the current head: the helper does [ $# -lt 2 ] && return 0 with ref="" obj="" type="" csha="" initialized, and the retry test uses grep -c . "$CUT_LOG" || true. No action needed.
  • INFO: Good coverage: bats tests exercise reuse-at-HEAD, retry-convergence (exactly one cut-release invocation via --promote), preserved bump path when no tag points at main HEAD, dry-run (no cut-release invocation), annotated-tag dereference, and highest-semver selection among multiple matching tags. CodeRabbit APPROVED; SonarCloud quality gate passed with 0 new issues.
  • INFO: GitHub Secret Protection MCP tool (run_secret_scanning) is not exposed in this environment; secret scan skipped per instructions. gitleaks CI check passed and the diff contains only shell logic and tests with synthetic placeholder SHAs — no secret-like content.

Closing to simplify the upcoming canary-release relocation (.github-private → .github). Two reasons: (1) this now conflicts with the merged #1084 (both edit scripts/canary-rollout.sh); (2) more importantly, canary-rollout.sh is about to move to petry-projects/.github, so the orphan-tag idempotency fix belongs in the new location, not landed here. Issue #1076 stays OPEN to track re-implementing it there. The reviewed diff on this branch remains the reference implementation (branch retained, not deleted).
