ReleaseKit v0.4.0

Summary

ReleaseKit supports releasing individual Go modules within a repository, with module-specific validation, builds, tags, and Gitea release pages. Root-module consumers retain the simple default configuration. This release also improves path resolution, offline source inspection, failure diagnostics, and efficiency.

Changes

Check, Publish, Build, and Deliver accept ModuleDir and expose the resolved module directory, declared module path, and complete tag in their results. Each operation resolves its module identity once. Product commands receive repository and module context, and candidate callbacks receive module identity.
Release tags follow the selected module's physical location and declared major version. For example, v2.1.0 for example.com/project/integrations/core/v2 uses integrations/core/v2.1.0 whether its physical directory is integrations/core or integrations/core/v2. Its note remains at that physical module's docs/releases/v2.1.0.md. Binary version output and asset names retain the semantic version; Git publication and Gitea delivery use the complete tag.
Profiles add module_dir. Go checks and configured product commands run from the selected module. Automatic committed-file inputs stop at independent nested modules; vendored files remain included. Nested fixtures remain available to the parent module's product tests.
ValidationSpec.SharedFiles and profile validation.shared_files select repository-relative literal files for optional file checks. Omission selects the available root copyright, license, and attribution defaults; an explicit list replaces them, and an explicit empty list selects none. Explicit files must exist even with checks disabled. Selection preserves the enabled checks and Go test scope; reference inspection can read destinations elsewhere in the captured repository.
Module releases receive separate Gitea pages, including source-only modules. Relative build output and prebuilt delivery paths share the selected module as their base. Prebuilt receipts bind artifacts to module identity, semantic version, complete tag, source commit, and normalized build settings.
ci-deliver accepts the complete event tag. Prepared mode verifies a checkout already detached at that tag, and expected-module and expected-tag checks bind delivery to the CI selection before building or contacting Gitea. The multi-module example shares a module map between its local launcher and Woodpecker workflow. The workflow verifies the tag before reading the mapping, profile, or tool selection, preserving the tagged configuration for retries.

Reliability and efficiency

Operations resolve the containing Git checkout root when invoked from a child directory. Working-tree and committed module paths resolve symlinks consistently, including paths containing ... Committed identity comes from Git objects; page-only delivery can use committed module metadata absent from the worktree. Valid local main-module paths are accepted.
Build failures preserve available identity and settings alongside completed artifacts. Invalid versions retain the public error identity and the CLI's usage-error status. Prebuilt delivery accepts equivalent checkout paths while retaining source and module verification.
Committed release-note and validation reads remain offline in partial clones. Validation reads blob contents and sizes as needed for selected inputs and referenced destinations. Unavailable blobs outside that inspection scope do not prevent applicable checks.
Module-file selection uses ancestor boundary lookups. Operations reuse Go environment discovery while its inputs remain suitable for reuse and acquire Go settings only when Go work needs them. Delivery reuses its local asset verification when uploading missing assets, removing a repeated hashing pass.

These improvements depend on the repository and workload. Artifact verification, exact remote comparisons, additive retries, and partial-delivery reporting retain their behavior.

Compatibility

This pre-1.0 minor release introduces a clean API and receipt cutover:

TaggedCheckoutRequest.Version becomes Tag, containing the complete Git tag. VerifyOnly adds verification of an already prepared checkout.
PrepareBuildDependencies now accepts DependencyPreparationRequest with repository and module directories.
The private build receipt requires schema version 1 and module identity. Existing receipts must be regenerated before prebuilt delivery.
Root-module committed-file checks exclude independent nested modules. Select those modules separately when their files need release validation.

The Go minimum remains 1.26.0. Root-module releases retain their existing note path, unprefixed tags, profile defaults, and ordinary workflow without a module map. The root orchestration facade and separate lightweight buildinfo facade retain their roles; runtime version access requires no migration.

Source-tag publication remains the source-release completion point. Hosted page and asset delivery remains asynchronous and can be retried from the same immutable tag. ReleaseKit's deliverables remain its source tag and hosted note page.

Upgrade guidance

Select v0.4.0 in each consumer module that uses ReleaseKit. For API consumers:
```
go get gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ReleaseKit@v0.4.0
go mod tidy
```
For consumers using the CLI as a Go tool dependency:
```
go get -tool gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ReleaseKit/cmd/releasekit@v0.4.0
go mod tidy
```
Review and commit the resulting module and checksum changes together with caller, profile, and workflow updates. Keep historical tag retries paired with the tool and workflow recorded at that tag.
Update preparation API calls for Tag and DependencyPreparationRequest. For nested modules, set ModuleDir or profile module_dir to the physical module location, with its own go.mod declaration. Keep ordinary Version arguments as semantic versions. Use result ModuleDir, ModulePath, and Tag where module identity is needed. Product commands can distinguish their contexts through RELEASEKIT_REPOSITORY_DIR and RELEASEKIT_MODULE_DIR.
Update ci-deliver invocations to pass the full event tag and required --commit OID. Use --prepared after bootstrap verification and --expected-module DIR for mapped launchers. Prepare and commit each binary module's checksums before tagging so dependency preparation leaves tagged source clean. Root-only consumers can retain the ordinary tag workflow.
Rebuild existing prebuilt outputs with the v0.4.0 build command before deliver --assets DIR. Relative output and asset paths both resolve from the selected module. Review optional shared-file selections and nested-module validation coverage, then run the consumer's ordinary checks.
