rosetta manual-version-bump.instructions.md

A release instruction that requires people to update package versions and promote the CHANGELOG’s Unreleased section manually for every release channel. CI is the automated release system and must not perform those edits or commit them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing releases to edit package.json and CHANGELOG.md by hand, while keeping release automation limited to checks and temporary workspace changes.
Why use it?
It prevents automation from guessing the correct version across latest, alpha, beta, and release-candidate channels. Forgotten updates are meant to make the release fail visibly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rosetta manual-version-bump.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Manual version bump, on every channel

release.yml has no job that bumps package.json's version or promotes CHANGELOG.md's [Unreleased] heading — the old bump-version job (blind PATCH + 1, auto-committed to main) was removed because it couldn't reason across the latest/alpha/beta/rc channels.

  • Do not add back a CI step that writes package.json's version field or edits CHANGELOG.md and commits/pushes the result. Every version bump, on every channel, is a deliberate human edit before dispatching Release.
  • The workspace-only rewrite in "Determine npm release channel" (appending $GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER to a prerelease version) is not an exception to this rule — it is never committed, exists only for the duration of the run, and does not touch CHANGELOG.md.
  • The backstops for a forgotten bump are the existing npm preflight ("already published" check) and the "Verify CHANGELOG promotion for latest-channel release" step — both fail loudly. Keep failures loud; do not paper over a missing bump by falling back to auto-generating one in CI.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
