Upgrade to changesets/action@v2 + Changesets CLI v3, and guard the pairing - #168
Conversation
…iring #156 bumped changesets/action from v1 to v2 inside the routine weekly `actions` Dependabot group. It was green — release.yml is triggered only by `push: main`, so no pull request can exercise it — and broke the release on main, which #167 reverted by pinning the action back to v1. The action and the CLI are a matched pair, so take both majors together: - `@changesets/cli` -> ^3.0.1 and `@changesets/changelog-github` -> ^1.0.0. changesets/action v2 dropped Changesets v2 support and hard-errors on it (changesets/action#699). Config `$schema` moved to @changesets/config@4.0.0. - release.yml migrates to the v2 input names (`version` -> `version-script`, `title` -> `pr-title`, `commit` -> `commit-message`) and drops the `GITHUB_TOKEN` env block; `github-token` already defaults to the workflow token, and v2's `runVersion` still injects GITHUB_TOKEN into the version script so changelog-github keeps resolving PR and author links. Both halves of the breakage are now checked at pull-request time: - scripts/check-release-toolchain.mjs asserts the action major and the CLI major agree, and that every `with:` key is a real input of that major. Unknown inputs are silently dropped by GitHub Actions rather than failing, so a mis-migrated step would have run `changeset version` under a default PR title instead of `pnpm version-packages`. It runs as a `release-toolchain` job in Workflow Lint, which needs no dependency install, and as `pnpm lint:release-toolchain` locally. - The Dependabot `actions` group is restricted to minor/patch, so action majors arrive as individually reviewable PRs. Same rationale already documented for the npm groups, plus the ecosystem-specific one: an action major is the bump this CI is structurally unable to test. Verified by running `pnpm version-packages` against the v3 CLI (correct bumps and linked changelog entries, reverted afterwards), `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`, actionlint 1.7.12, and all four failure modes of the new check.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This PR upgrades the release tooling and adds a guard to keep the action and CLI versions paired. The current configuration is merge-ready with no actionable merge-blocking risk; a small follow-up may harden the guard to accept quoted or SHA-pinned action references.

Why
#156 bumped
changesets/actionfrom v1 to v2 inside the routine weeklyactionsDependabot group. It showed green and broke the release onmain; #167 reverted it by pinning the action back to v1.It was green because
release.ymlis triggered only bypush: main. No pull request can run it, so a change to that file gets a tick from checks that never touched it.Two independent things were broken, and PR CI could see neither:
@changesets/cli@^2.31.0.version→version-script,title→pr-title,commit→commit-message) and stopped reading theGITHUB_TOKENenvironment variable. Unknownwith:keys are silently dropped by GitHub Actions rather than rejected — so even without (1), the step would have runchangeset versionunder a default "Version Packages" title instead ofpnpm version-packages, and looked fine doing it.Since the action and the CLI only move as a pair, this takes both majors rather than staying on v1.
What changed
The upgrade
@changesets/cli→^3.0.1,@changesets/changelog-github→^1.0.0, and.changeset/config.json's$schema→@changesets/config@4.0.0.release.ymlmoves tochangesets/action@v2with the renamed inputs and noenv:block.github-tokenalready defaults to the workflow token, and v2 warns (rather than fails) if a conflictingGITHUB_TOKENis also set.The guards
scripts/check-release-toolchain.mjs— asserts the action major and the CLI major agree, and that everywith:key is a real input of that major. It runs as a newrelease-toolchainjob in Workflow Lint (no dependency install: the script readspackage.jsonandrelease.ymlas text and imports nothing outsidenode:*), and aspnpm lint:release-toolchainlocally. The supported majors are a hardcoded table rather than a fetch of the action's ownaction.yml, deliberately — the gate should fail on our mistakes, not on upstream retagging a moving major or on the network. Taking a new major means adding a row, and the check fails loudly on an unrecognised one rather than assuming it is fine.dependabot.yml— theactionsgroup is restricted tominor/patch, so action majors arrive as individual PRs with their own release notes and their own review. Same rationale already documented for the npm groups, plus one specific to this ecosystem: an action major is the single kind of bump this repository's CI is structurally unable to test.Reviewer notes
changeset versionexit1when there is nothing to release, instead of exiting0having done nothing. This only bites when running it by hand — the action checks for pending changesets first and skips the version script when there are none. Noted inRELEASE.md.GITHUB_TOKENfor changelog-github: removing theenv:block does not break PR/author links. v2'srunVersioninjectsGITHUB_TOKEN: github.getToken()into the version script's environment (src/run.ts), which is what@changesets/changelog-githubreads.RELEASE.md, CI never publishes, so v2 dropping itsNPM_TOKEN/.npmrchandling costs nothing here.registry-url: 'https://registry.npmjs.org'in the release job'ssetup-node. It writes an.npmrcexpecting aNODE_AUTH_TOKENthat is deliberately never set, so it is inert — but now that v2 has dropped its own npm-auth handling it reads as though CI publishes, whichRELEASE.mdsays it must not. Happy to drop it if reviewers agree.Verification
pnpm version-packagesfor real against the v3 CLI: correct bumps (@spatialdata/*0.8.0 → 0.9.0,zarrextra0.4.0 → 0.5.0) and properly linked changelog entries.
