Summary

  • upgrade @changesets/cli from v2 to v3 and changesets/action from v1 to the SHA-pinned v2.1 sub-actions
  • separate validation and build/pack from the OIDC-enabled publish job using Changesets publish-plan and immutable artifact IDs
  • scope GitHub permissions and the Nx token to the jobs that need them
  • preserve Pacer's existing per-package npm publications, git tags, and GitHub Releases
  • preserve main, alpha, beta, and rc, while making prerelease state fail closed
  • prevent running or queued releases from being canceled or replaced

This follows the same core Changesets v3 architecture as TanStack/router#8051, adapted to preserve Pacer-specific release behavior rather than copying Router's aggregate release model.

Workflow

test ─────────┬─> version
select-mode ──┤
              └─> build and pack -> publish

The publish job installs only root tooling with lifecycle scripts disabled, consumes the packed artifact, and is the only job with id-token: write. Repository build code runs without npm publishing authority.

Behavior preserved

  • full test:ci release gate
  • ten independently versioned public packages
  • existing compact changelog output
  • pnpm rewriting of workspace:* dependencies to exact published versions
  • npm trusted publishing and provenance
  • package tags named <package>@<version>
  • one GitHub Release per published package

Verification

  • full Nx release gate passed: 320 unit, type, lint, docs, and build tasks across 169 projects
  • a disposable beta version run exercised Changesets v3 prerelease state and the existing changelog plugin
  • registry selection produced nine dependency-ordered beta publications; unchanged pacer-lite was correctly excluded
  • all nine packages packed successfully with the beta dist-tag
  • every recorded tarball SHA-256 integrity value was independently verified
  • strict publint checks passed for every tarball
  • packed internal dependencies were exact prerelease versions
  • frozen root-only install, Prettier, and git diff --check passed
  • the current stable registry-derived publish plan is empty

Rollout requirements

  • create and protect the GitHub npm environment for the intended release branches
  • verify or update npm trusted-publisher settings for all ten packages to match .github/workflows/release.yml and the npm environment
  • ensure GitHub Actions may create pull requests
  • document manual reconciliation if npm publication succeeds but tag or GitHub Release creation does not

Notes

Changesets automated publishing does not currently support npm staged publishing, so this uses direct trusted publishing behind a protected environment. The existing compact changelog plugin is unmaintained but was retained to avoid changing release notes and was tested successfully with v3.

queue: max is supported by GitHub Actions and is used by the live Changesets release workflow, but current actionlint builds do not recognize the newer concurrency key yet.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores

    • Updated release tooling and configuration for more reliable package releases.
    • Improved automated release workflows with separate validation, versioning, packaging, and publishing stages.
    • Added safer release concurrency, permissions, and branch-based pre-release validation.
    • Streamlined version preparation to reduce unnecessary setup steps and improve release consistency.
  • Documentation

    • Updated framework documentation links across package READMEs to use shorter, more direct paths.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates Changesets configuration and CLI usage, restructures the release workflow into staged conditional jobs, and shortens framework documentation links across package READMEs.

Changes

Changesets release pipeline and documentation links

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release inputs and test gate
.changeset/config.json, package.json, .github/workflows/release.yml
The Changesets schema and CLI versions are updated. The version script uses a lockfile-only installation. The workflow adds a test job and revises concurrency and permissions.
Mode selection and version pull requests
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow selects stable or branch-based prerelease mode, validates Changesets state, and conditionally creates or updates the version pull request.
Package artifact and publishing flow
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow builds and packs packages, then publishes the packed artifact with npm trusted publishing, GitHub releases, and Git tags.
Framework documentation links
packages/*/README.md
Package READMEs use shortened React, Preact, Solid, and Angular documentation URLs.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 9e384

The release workflow currently cannot load because of an invalid concurrency setting, which blocks package releases entirely; the lockfile-only installation may also prevent version pull requests from completing. These issues should be fixed before merging.

needs.select-mode.outputs.prerelease-tag so the value is passed via the step or
job env and referenced through a shell-safe environment variable, rather than
directly interpolating it in run. Preserve the existing non-empty and hashFiles

- Line 10: Remove the unsupported queue key from the concurrency configuration
in the release workflow, leaving only the supported group and cancel-in-progress
settings so the workflow loads successfully.

In `@package.json`:
- Line 19: Update the changeset:version script to pass --no-frozen-lockfile to
the lockfile-only pnpm install, allowing the lockfile to be regenerated after
changeset version updates while preserving the existing command sequence.
