Notemd Release Workflow (Maintainers)

This document is for maintainers and contributors, not end users.

1. Regression Baseline

Capture a before-change baseline:

npm run regression:language-baseline

After implementation, compare with the latest baseline:

npm run regression:language-compare

2. Verification Gate Before Release

Run:

npm run build
npm test -- --runInBand
obsidian help
obsidian-cli help
git diff --check

If obsidian-cli is unavailable in the local environment, record it in release notes/handoff evidence.

3. Version Synchronization

Before publishing, ensure version references are aligned:

• package.json
• manifest.json
• versions.json
• README.md
• README_zh.md
• change.md

4. GitHub Release Requirements

Release description must be fully bilingual:

• One complete English section.
• One complete Chinese section.
• Each section must be independently readable.

Required release assets:

• main.js
• manifest.json
• styles.css
• README.md

5. Publish Command

npm run release:github -- <tag>

The helper enforces the required packaged assets and docs/releases/<tag>.md before invoking GitHub:

• If the release does not exist yet, it runs gh release create ... --verify-tag.
• If the release already exists, it runs gh release upload ... --clobber.

That second path is the repair path for cases where a release body was published but plugin assets were not uploaded.
