ci: fix notify-registry draft-state release lookup#14
Merged
Conversation
Root cause (recurring across plugin repos): the "Publish GitHub release" step in notify-registry job uses github.rest.repos.getReleaseByTag which returns 404 for DRAFT releases — drafts are NOT accessible by tag name, only by release ID. GoReleaser config creates releases as draft → step fails on every release. Symptoms observed: - workflow-plugin-authz run 25950232345 (v0.5.4, 2026-05-16) — flagged - workflow-plugin-azure run 25989195581 (v1.2.1, 2026-05-17) — Phase 2.5+ cleanup bundle hit this; defensive `gh release edit --draft=false` applied post-fact - workflow-plugin-azure v1.2.0 (Phase 2 cascade, 2026-05-16) — same - Likely affects every release in repos with this workflow pattern Fix: replace getReleaseByTag with listReleases + find by tag (drafts ARE returned by listReleases). Single deterministic API call; no 404-on-draft race. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Fixes the release workflow’s “Publish GitHub release” step so it can locate draft releases created by GoReleaser (since getReleaseByTag returns 404 for drafts), preventing downstream notify-registry failures.
Changes:
- Replace
repos.getReleaseByTagwithrepos.listReleasesand select the release bytag_name. - Simplify the failure path to a null-check with a clearer error message indicating the search scope (latest 100).

Summary
Fixes recurring notify-registry failure across plugin release workflows:
Publish GitHub releasestep usesgithub.rest.repos.getReleaseByTagwhich returns 404 for DRAFT releases. GoReleaser config creates releases as draft → step fails on every release.Root cause
getReleaseByTagonly returns published (non-draft) releases. Drafts have no tag indexing — accessible only by release ID.Fix
Replace with
listReleases(which DOES return drafts) + find by tag. Single deterministic API call; no 404-on-draft race.Note: this repo had wrapped getReleaseByTag in try/catch handling 404; replaced with simpler listReleases + null-check.
