Closes #1091

Implemented by dev-lead agent. Please review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added versioned release channels for the standards artifact, including immutable version tags and a moving major-version stable channel.
    • Added commands to publish releases, preview changes, list versions, resolve current and previous versions, and view channel mappings.
    • Releases prevent accidental overwrites and support dry runs.
  • Documentation

    • Documented release channels, adoption, permissions, automation, and N-1 version availability.
  • Tests

    • Added automated coverage for version handling, channel resolution, release decisions, validation, and dry-run behavior.
    • Added continuous quality checks for shell scripts and the full test suite.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Add versioned standards releases and a stable channel for consumers

What Changed

  • Standards can be published as immutable standards/vX.Y.Z releases with a moving standards/v<major>-stable channel that consumers can pin.
  • Added commands to cut or preview releases, list published versions, resolve the current and previous release, and identify a version’s channel.
  • Release cuts are repeatable without creating duplicates, refuse to overwrite an immutable release at another commit, and never move a channel backward over a newer release.
  • Standards seeding now accepts STANDARDS_REF, defaults to standards/v1-stable, and preserves explicit local directory usage.
  • Added guidance for release adoption and N-1 resolution, plus automated tests and shell-quality checks for release behavior.

Impact

✅ Consumers can pin standards to a stable release
✅ Fewer unintended updates from default-branch changes
✅ Safer releases with rollback targets and clobber protection

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to aca48

The release channel is not ready to rely on: seed consumers still cannot resolve through it, and release operators can receive incorrect or failed version resolution. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Explanation

The PR adds the release script, decision core, documentation, tests, and workflow required by issue #1091. However, the provided changes do not show that standards/v1-stable was actually created at a known-good commit, or that seed-repo-template.sh resolves through the channel branch rather than head-fallback.

Resolution

Create standards/v1-stable at a known-good commit on main and provide run output showing that scripts/seed-repo-template.sh resolves through the channel branch. If the tag cannot be created in the PR flow, record the explicit operator step and evidence as required by issue #1091.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a versioning and release channel mechanism for the standards/ directory, adding scripts to cut immutable releases and manage moving channel tags, along with corresponding documentation and unit tests. The review feedback highlights a critical improvement in the semver comparison logic to avoid subshell overhead from here-strings and prevent potential runtime crashes with leading zeros by avoiding arithmetic expansion. Additionally, it is recommended to assert exact non-zero exit codes in the BATS tests to prevent false positives.

Inline comments:
In `@scripts/cut-standards-release.sh`:
- Line 102: Update the tag enumeration in the versions/resolve flow around the
for-each-ref command to use SR_REPO as the source when it overrides the checkout
repository, preferably by querying the GitHub API; alternatively reject
mismatched SR_REPO values before reading or writing tags. Keep local enumeration
only when SR_REPO matches the checkout repository, ensuring all reported tags
correspond to the repository being modified.

In `@scripts/lib/standards-release.sh`:
- Line 36: Update sr_valid_version, sr_major, and sr_is_release_suffix to reject
SemVer components with leading zeroes, then revise sr_semver_gt to compare
canonical decimal components by length and lexical order rather than Bash
arithmetic; preserve valid numeric SemVer ordering and version-resolution
behavior.

In `@tests/standards_release.bats`:
- Around line 3-4: Update scripts/seed-repo-template.sh to resolve the standards
source before seeding: use the default standards/v1-stable reference when
STANDARDS_REF is unset, honor an explicit STANDARDS_REF, and preserve explicit
STANDARDS_DIR behavior without Git resolution. Then extend the relevant Bats
coverage for all three cases, reusing the existing seed-test conventions.

- seed-repo-template.sh: defer sourcing gitignore-baseline.sh until needed
  to allow STANDARDS_DIR to be a minimal custom directory without the full
  checkout structure, fixing STANDARDS_DIR backward-compatibility tests

- standards-release.sh: revise sr_semver_gt to compare numeric components by
  length first (avoiding arithmetic expansion), then lexically, to safely
  handle SemVer ordering without leading-zero hazards or overflow issues

- cut-standards-release.sh: simplify tag enumeration to always query the
  GitHub API via SR_REPO, ensuring reported tags come from the authoritative
  source and never stale local refs
