ci: require explicit opt-in for release workflows by robbiemu · Pull Request #1432 · MapleTechLabs/maple

robbiemu · 2026-10-13T20:04:08Z

Syncing upstream main into a fork can trigger the Release workflow and make Changesets attempt a version PR or package publication. Forks generally lack the corresponding permissions and publishing setup, producing recurring failed runs. The tag-triggered Local Binary Release workflow has the same need for explicit enablement.

Gate the release job and binary build matrix on the repository/organization Actions variable MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED == 'true'. An unset variable or false skips those jobs before runner allocation. Manual dispatch, including artifact-only binary builds, obeys the same opt-in. Ordinary build/test CI is unchanged.

Maintainer rollout: set MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED=true on the upstream repository before merging to preserve releases. This must be a repository variable, or an organization variable scoped to the repository, rather than a variable scoped only to the npm-publish environment. Forks can leave it unset or explicitly set false. Existing workflow revisions on old tags are unaffected; syncing this change into the fork's default branch is necessary before it can prevent future failures.

Validation: both workflows parse as YAML, actionlint 1.7.12 passes on both changed workflows, and formatting/whitespace checks pass. No release workflow was dispatched and no publishing credentials or repository permissions were changed.

This PR is independent of #1431 and contains no projector-loader changes. GitHub's documented variable behavior: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/write-workflows/choose-what-workflows-do/use-variables

Summary by CodeRabbit

Release Management
- Release and local binary release workflows run only when the MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED opt-in is set to true. The requirement also applies to manual runs.
Documentation
- Added guidance for configuring the opt-in as a repository or repository-scoped organization Actions variable. The workflows remain disabled when the variable is unset or has a different value.

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 9/10 · safe to merge
Three-line gate on the only job of each conditional workflow; the full files show no ungated release path left behind.
_{quality 100/100 · no findings · tests not needed · risk medium}

Gates the Version/publish job and the local binary build matrix on vars.MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED == 'true', so forks that sync upstream no longer attempt releases. Safe to merge once the variable is set upstream.

release.yml release job skips unless MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED is 'true'
local-binary-release.yml build matrix skips under the same variable, including manual dispatch

Before merge

Env var · Set MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED=true as a repository variable (or org variable scoped to MapleTechLabs/maple) before merging, not one scoped to the npm-publish environment · .github/workflows/local-binary-release.yml:48

What was checked

Both workflows have exactly one job each, so the gate covers every release path (release.yml:30, local-binary-release.yml:45)
release.yml only reaches npm publishing and the binary dispatch through that job, so no second ungated entrypoint remains
The matrix if also covers artifact-only workflow_dispatch runs, matching the stated opt-in

📝 Walkthrough

The release and local binary release jobs now run only when the MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED Actions variable equals true. The local-mode guide explains how to configure the variable and its scope.

Changes: Release Workflow Opt-In

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Gate release jobs and document opt-in `.github/workflows/release.yml`, `.github/workflows/local-binary-release.yml`, `docs/local-mode.md`	Both release jobs require `MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED` to equal `true`. The guide describes the variable configuration, fork behavior, and requirement for upstream maintainers to set it before merging the gate.

Priority: ➖ Normal

🟢 Confidence 9/10 · safe to merge
Two-line CI gate with no code path added; the only exposure is the documented rollout variable, which the author called out explicitly.
_{quality 100/100 · no findings · tests not needed · risk medium}

Gates the Release and Local Binary Release jobs on the repository variable MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED == 'true', so forks and unset upstream repos skip them. Two-line YAML change, no publishing path is left ungated; safe to merge once the upstream variable is set.

What was checked

Both jobs are the only jobs in their workflow, so no release/publish path escapes the gate
The job-level if also covers workflow_dispatch (release.yml:20, local-binary-release.yml:30), including artifact-only binary builds
vars is a valid context in jobs.<job_id>.if, and an unset variable is the empty string, so the comparison is false as intended

🟢 Confidence 9/10 · safe to merge
Two one-line job gates and a docs paragraph; the only precondition is the repository variable being set upstream before merge.
_{quality 100/100 · no findings · tests not needed · risk medium}

Gates the Release and Local Binary Release jobs on the MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED Actions variable, so forks that sync main no longer run publishing jobs they cannot complete. Safe to merge once the variable is set upstream.

release job requires vars.MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED == 'true' (release.yml:31)
build matrix requires the same variable (local-binary-release.yml:46)
docs/local-mode.md documents the opt-in and where the variable must live

Before merge

Env var · Set repository variable MAPLE_RELEASE_ENABLED=true on MapleTechLabs/maple (or an org variable scoped to it) before merging, or releases stop entirely · .github/workflows/local-binary-release.yml:46

What was checked

Job-level if also applies to workflow_dispatch, so manual and artifact-only runs obey the gate (release.yml:31, local-binary-release.yml:46)
Existing tag revisions keep their own workflow copy, so prior tags still release unchanged
Release job permissions, environment and steps are untouched — only the gate line was added
