Automate the release process - #485
Conversation
`Release PR` changes the version and opens the release pull request. The merge of that pull request starts `Release Tag`. That workflow tags the merge commit and creates the GitHub release with generated notes. The release event then starts the PyPI upload and the docs deployment, as before. Both workflows read the version with `tools/version.py`. The same tool changes the version on a local machine. The workflows use `WORKFLOW_SECRET`. The default token does not start CI on a bot pull request, and it cannot start the publish workflow from a release event. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`.github/release.yaml` sorts the pull requests into New features, Bug fixes, Documentation, Maintenance, and Other changes. It also drops the version bump pull request from its own notes. The labeler gives every `release/*` pull request the `release` label, which drives that exclusion. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Next review available in: 44 minutes You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository. How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdded a version-management CLI and GitHub Actions workflows for release pull requests, release tags, and generated release notes. Updated labeler configuration and contributor documentation for the release process. ChangesRelease automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The release automation can publish a beta-tagged build with stable release identity, and it depends on an unpinned shared version tool that could change independently. These bounded release and dependency risks should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

The comment implied that `-beta` marks a prerelease. It does not. Every release since v0.3.0 carries the suffix, and all 25 of them have `prerelease=false`. PyPI holds only plain `X.Y.Z` versions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every Luxonis repository runs the same release process. The logic now lives in `reusable-release-pr.yaml` and `reusable-release-tag.yaml`. They take the version file, the project name, and the tag suffix as inputs. Each repository keeps only a thin caller workflow and its label configuration. `tools/version.py` now needs a `--path` argument, because the reusable workflows run it against the repository that they release. The workflows check the tool out from this repository, so a caller does not copy it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`secrets: inherit` gives a called workflow every secret in the repository, which includes the PyPI token and the cloud credentials. The callers now pass `WORKFLOW_SECRET` alone, which is the only secret that the reusable workflows declare. Semgrep reported this on the pull request.

The `pypi` environment carries the ML-Reviewers team as a required reviewer. The upload job now waits for one approval, whatever started it: a release event, a manual dispatch, or a workflow that someone changed on a branch. Move `PYPI_API_TOKEN` into the environment to complete the control. A job cannot then read the token at all until a reviewer approves.

Purpose
A release needs a hand-made pull request and then a hand-made GitHub release.
This change automates both steps. Only two manual actions stay: you start the
workflow, and you merge the pull request it opens.
Specification
Release PR(release-pr.yaml) runs on manual dispatch. Give itmajor,minor,patch, or an explicit version such as1.2.3. It changes__version__, then opens therelease/vX.Y.Zpull request. The body followsthis template and lists the changes after the last tag.
Release Tag(release-tag.yaml) runs when arelease/*pull requestmerges. It tags
vX.Y.Z-betaon the merge commit, then creates the GitHubrelease with generated notes.
tools/version.pyreads the version, or changes it. Both workflows call it.It also works on a local machine.
.github/release.yamlgroups the generated notes into categories..github/labeler.yamlgives everyrelease/*pull request thereleaselabel, which keeps the version bump out of its own notes.
Both workflows use
WORKFLOW_SECRET, not the default token. The default tokendoes not start CI on a bot pull request. It also cannot start
python-publish.ymlfrom a release event.The
-betatag suffix is a named constant at the top ofrelease-tag.yaml.Dependencies & Potential Impact
No package code changes.
python-publish.ymlanddocs-pages.yamlkeep theirtriggers, and they still run from the release event.
Deployment Plan
mainbefore the nextrelease.
Release PRfrom the Actions tab for the next release.Release Tagcreates the tag and the release. The release event starts thePyPI upload and the docs deployment.
To go back to the manual process, delete the two workflow files. Nothing else
depends on them.
Testing & Validation
Verified on a local machine:
tools/version.pyonmajor,minor,patch, and an explicit version, plusthe three error paths. A write changes one line, and nothing else in the file.

Only a live run can prove the rest: the scope of
WORKFLOW_SECRET, and therelease event that starts the PyPI upload.
