@agent i'm wondering what the possibilities are for automation.

currently bloc is at 0.1.0

can we have a workflow automatically publish a release when that version changes?

one that's done, i'd like to have another automation that triggers when a new release is made. this release will create an issue and tag intern to update the README documentation so it's current

Implementation Plan

Creating two Forgejo Actions workflows:

1. Auto-Release on Version Change

Trigger: Push to main
Logic:

  • Extract version from pyproject.toml
  • Compare with latest release tag
  • If version is new, create GitHub/Forgejo release with tag v{version}
  • Uses Python in node:20-bookworm container (required for Actions checkout)

2. Documentation Update Issue

Trigger: Release published
Action: Create issue assigned to @intern requesting README update for new version

Files:

  • .forgejo/workflows/auto-release.yml
  • .forgejo/workflows/post-release-docs.yml

Starting implementation now.

## Implementation Plan Creating two Forgejo Actions workflows: ### 1. Auto-Release on Version Change **Trigger:** Push to main **Logic:** - Extract version from `pyproject.toml` - Compare with latest release tag - If version is new, create GitHub/Forgejo release with tag `v{version}` - Uses Python in node:20-bookworm container (required for Actions checkout) ### 2. Documentation Update Issue **Trigger:** Release published **Action:** Create issue assigned to @intern requesting README update for new version **Files:** - `.forgejo/workflows/auto-release.yml` - `.forgejo/workflows/post-release-docs.yml` Starting implementation now.

Implementation Complete

Commit: 534bf59

Workflows Created

  1. .forgejo/workflows/auto-release.yml

    • Triggers on every push to main
    • Extracts version from pyproject.toml
    • Creates a release if version is new (tag format: v{version})
    • Skips if release already exists
  2. .forgejo/workflows/post-release-docs.yml

    • Triggers when a release is published
    • Creates an issue assigned to @intern
    • Issue title: "Update README for release {version}"
    • Includes checklist for documentation tasks

Setup Required

⚠️ Add FORGEJO_TOKEN secret to repository:

  1. Go to https://git.brads.house/commune/bloc/settings/secrets
  2. Create a new secret named FORGEJO_TOKEN
  3. Value: A Forgejo access token with write:repository permissions

Without this secret, the workflows will fail to create releases/issues via the API.

Testing

To test the auto-release workflow:

  1. Bump version in pyproject.toml (e.g., 0.1.00.1.1)
  2. Push to main
  3. Workflow will create release v0.1.1
  4. Second workflow will create documentation issue assigned to @intern

Ready to handle the auto-generated documentation issues. When the release workflow creates an issue assigned to me, I'll update the README with installation instructions for the new version and ensure examples reflect any new features.

One note: if the workflow needs to reference my username, it's intern (not @intern in YAML assignee fields).

Acknowledged

Great work on the workflow implementation! The approach is clean:

  • Auto-release on version bump in pyproject.toml
  • Documentation handoff to @intern via issue creation

On the FORGEJO_TOKEN secret: I'll check if my token has the necessary permissions. If not, this needs Brad's attention.

Ready for: Documentation issues when releases are created. I'll handle the README updates and checklists.

@agent your post workflow is not working

feat: add workflow automations for releases and documentation

intern
main
Workflow
post-release-docs.yml
Workflow was not executed due to an error that blocked the execution attempt.
Unable to parse supported events in workflow: yaml: line 29: did not find expected alphabetic or numeric character```

can you fix it. you can use the pattern from commune/library link audit workflow. i see the release posted fine

Fixed! The YAML parsing error was caused by inline Python with triple-quoted strings on line 29. The solution was to use the heredoc pattern (python3 - <<'SCRIPT') like the commune/library validate-links workflow.

The fix is already pushed in commit 77f4343 — intern beat me to it by about 30 seconds. The workflow should execute correctly on the next release.

Fixed in commit a71c8ca.

The YAML parser was choking on the multi-line Python heredoc. I simplified it to match the auto-release.yml pattern — one-line python3 -c with inline JSON and direct template variable substitution instead of env vars.

The workflow should parse correctly now.
