Release Bump

Overview

Bump version and trigger release for ralph-orchestrator. All versions live in workspace Cargo.toml - individual crates inherit via version.workspace = true.

Quick Reference

StepCommand/Action
1. Bump versionEdit Cargo.toml: replace all version = "X.Y.Z" (7 occurrences)
2. Buildcargo build (updates Cargo.lock)
3. Testcargo test
4. Commitgit add Cargo.toml Cargo.lock && git commit -m "chore: bump to vX.Y.Z"
5. Pushgit push origin main
6. Taggit tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin vX.Y.Z

Version Locations (All in Cargo.toml)

# Line ~17 - workspace version
[workspace.package]
version = "X.Y.Z"

# Lines ~113-118 - internal crate dependencies
ralph-proto = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-proto" }
ralph-core = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-core" }
ralph-adapters = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-adapters" }
ralph-tui = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-tui" }
ralph-cli = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-cli" }
ralph-bench = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-bench" }

Tip: Use Edit tool with replace_all: true on version = "OLD"version = "NEW" to update all 7 at once.

What CI Does Automatically

Once you push the tag, .github/workflows/release.yml triggers and:

  1. Creates the GitHub Release with auto-generated notes
  2. Builds binaries for macOS (arm64, x64) and Linux (arm64, x64)
  3. Uploads artifacts to the GitHub Release
  4. Publishes to crates.io (in dependency order)
  5. Publishes to npm as @ralph-orchestrator/ralph

Common Mistakes

MistakeFix
Only updating workspace.package.versionMust update all 7 occurrences including internal deps
Forgetting to run testsAlways cargo test before commit
Creating release manually with gh release createJust push the tag - CI creates the release with artifacts
Pushing tag before mainPush main first, then push the tag
