What

Adds a manual (workflow_dispatch) release that publishes every package whose pubspec version is not yet on pub.dev, in dependency order, skipping already-published versions. Ported from the solidart release.yaml + scripts/release.sh setup.

Files

• .github/workflows/release.yaml — manual trigger with a dry_run boolean input. Checks out full history/tags and runs the orchestrator with secrets.RELEASE_PAT.
• scripts/release.sh — for each publishable package (solid_annotations → solid_generator, dependency order):
  1. reads version: from the pubspec (source of truth — does not bump versions),
  2. skips if that version is already on pub.dev,
  3. errors (continues in dry-run) if the tag exists but the version isn't published — signals a prior publish failed,
  4. otherwise creates a GitHub Release + tag <name>-v<version> (marked --prerelease for pre-release versions, with CHANGELOG notes), which triggers the existing publish.yml,
  5. polls up to 30 min for pub.dev to serve the new version before releasing dependents.

Prerequisite

Requires a RELEASE_PAT repo secret (fine-grained PAT with Contents: write, or a GitHub App token). publish.yml triggers on push: tags, and tags created by the default GITHUB_TOKEN do not trigger other workflows — so a separate identity is required.

How to run

Run the workflow with dry_run: true first to preview the plan (current tags would be solid_annotations-v3.0.0-dev.1 and solid_generator-v3.0.0-dev.1, both prereleases), then re-run with dry_run: false to release.

Validation

• bash -n scripts/release.sh — no syntax errors
• Verified CHANGELOG note extraction for 3.0.0-dev.1
• Verified computed tag names from pubspec versions
