v4.8.0

Level: minor, 4.8.0.

Waves in this release: Wave 46: fewer GitHub calls.

Wave 46: fewer GitHub calls:

• #1572: A worker writes its tests as a plain sentence, and riff pr open checks the body first (#1574).
• #1557: When the GitHub limit runs out, riff waits for the reset and keeps the result of a verify (#1573).
• #1555: The release commands try a call of GitHub again on a 502, 503 or 504 (#1571).
• #1550: The watches of a repository tell a fault of the forge one time, with one dot (#1570).
• #1563: The how-to "Find why the list has no items" reads the GraphQL limit with GraphQL (#1569).
• #1549: The daemon counts its calls of gh and looks less often at an idle wave (#1565).
• #1546: Each text of riff names the instructions of the riff tools, and no text names a skill (#1561).
• #1548: Pull::settled counts only the newest run of each check (#1560).
• #1538: A commit of main that breaks again after a rerun that passed tells the lead (#1559).
• #1556: riff wave list names the error of gh when gh fails (#1558).

Level: minor, 4.4.0.

Waves in this release: Wave 42: the contract with a repository.

Wave 42: the contract with a repository:

• #1464: The wave starts no verify of a pull request whose mergeable is UNKNOWN (#1481).
• #1474: A signed test server ends its sign-ins with it, so an open server on a reused port gets no old sign-in (#1477).
• #1472: The help of riff wave end names [release] in riff.toml, not deploy/release-check.sh (#1476).
• #1453: Each lead of the riff hears each step of a release, and a lead in a critical place can hold the deploy (#1475).
• #1465: riff pr open --help says that the Milestone: trailer and the title rule hold only with the rules of riff (#1473).
• #1448: The daemon checks the network of each session that it takes up: it stops a worker with none and tells the person of a lead (#1471).
• #1466: wave_list has its rustdoc again, and wave_run_in_container has only its own (#1470).
• #1422: A public base image of riff, riff-base, and riff-rust: each project builds its image FROM one and adds its toolchain (#1469).
• #1426: With no CI, the full check is riff/verify, not a check named Gate that never runs (#1468).
• #1441: A verify with no PASS or FAIL leaves an ends record, and riff daemon events works in the lead container (#1463).
• #1423: The env, volumes and caches of a session come from riff.toml, not from Rust settings that riff sets (#1462).
• #1438: The verify checks that a host can pull a new session image, and the daemon shows a pull that failed (#1461).
• #1429: The names riff uses on the forge are in the book, riff init counts the issues with no Done when, and the dead sccache install goes (#1460).
• #1427: A failed check that is not a run of GitHub Actions starts no fix session: the lead gets its link (#1459).
• #1425: The release cycle, riff build and the real-session test are only for a repository with [release] in riff.toml (#1458).
• #1430: riff wave run --host makes the main clone on a host that does not serve the repository (#1457).
• #1428: riff pr open keeps only the rules that riff reads in a repository that is not riff (#1456).
• #1431: riff init in a session container skips the checks of the machine and runs the checks of the repository (#1455).
• #1424: The package sources that auto mode trusts come from riff.toml, not only crates.io (#1454).

v4.3.0

Level: minor, 4.3.0. riff gets new behavior that a person sees: each release step wakes the lead at its end, riff init does the setup steps and pulls riff.toml by itself, a repository needs no CLAUDE.md, a restart of the daemon keeps the network of each new session, and the support of older releases is gone. A machine of the release before updates with no step of a person, but each lead that runs at the update loses its network once.

Waves in this release: Wave 41: only the current release.

Wave 41: only the current release:

• #1444: The commit rule takes a Co-authored-by block after Issue and Milestone (#1446).
• #1440: The requirement of the removed bridge moves to the history page (#1442).
• #1412: Each riff command that starts an async operation registers a watch, and the daemon wakes the lead at its end (#1437).
• #1418: riff init checks no CLAUDE.md, and the start texts send a session to the rules of the repository for agents when it has them (#1436).
• #1399: Remove each part that supports an older release (#1435).
• #1416: riff init shows step lines before the question, names each failed check at the end, and pulls riff.toml into the clone (#1434).
• #1402: requirements.md holds only the rules of today: each requirement superseded in full moves to a history page (#1432).
• #1417: riff reads only the newest run of each check, so an old failed run does not stop a verify pass (#1420).
• #1415: A restart of the daemon leaves the network of each session: podman run starts in a scope of its own (#1419).
• #692: The link test counts an accepted connection with no read (#1348). Thanks to @Nitjsefnie for #1348.

v4.2.0

Level: minor, 4.2.0. riff gets new steps for a person: riff init sets up a new repository, @lead:REPO in the chat, any CI check name and any default branch. A machine of the release before updates with no step of a person.

Waves in this release: Wave 40: riff on other projects.

Wave 40: riff on other projects:

• #1401: A failed git call stops the command, and riff does not register a session at a place that it made up (#1409).
• #1354: The start texts name no convention of the riff repository: a session gets its rules from the CLAUDE.md of its repository (#1407).
• #1404: The wave reads the default branch at each look, and no file holds it (#1406).
• #1398: Texts, rustdoc and the book name no version of riff, and a check refuses a version name (#1403).
• #1373: riff init sets up a new repository for riff: riff.toml, auto-merge, the ruleset and the milestones (#1397).
• #1393: The watch of main reads the full check, and a skipped required check counts as a pass (#1396).
• #1391: The wave starts no build of an issue with no Done when line, and riff wave move warns (#1395).
• #1390: A running background task holds a session of a wave for the quiet limit, not the grace of 60 s (#1394).
• #698: riff verify pass and the wave wait for the required checks of the default branch (#1389).
• #1352: riff reads the default branch of the repository, not main: the verify diff, the rebase and the look (#1388).
• #1372: riff lead start in a repository with no riff.toml names the fix and starts nothing (#1387).
• #1383: The book has one how-to for riff members, in start-a-team-riff.md (#1386).
• #1353: riff init checks the setup of GitHub, riff wave make makes Backlog, and a how-to adds another repository (#1382).
• #1350: A new lead takes the read cursors of the lead before it, and a joining session starts at the newest message (#1381).
• #279: The wave acts for a pull request that cannot merge by itself (#1380).
• #1338: The lead container reads members, audit, who, whoami and session why, and runs an item, through the socket (#1378).
• #1368: The chat names one lead of a user with @lead:REPO, and a lead line shows its repository (#1377).
• #1351: The daemon runs the look of each wave: main breaks, a pull request stops (#1376).
• #1365: The daemon shows the real-session test that runs, and busy counts it (#1375).
• #1241: In the lead container, riff is on the PATH, so ! riff works in the terminal (#1374).
• #1367: The wave fetches refs/pull/N/head so the verify of a pull request from a fork has its head commit (#1371).
• #1344: The sweep pushes the commits of another local branch to riff-kept/ITEM-ID8-BRANCH and removes the folder (#1370).
• #1363: The book drops Remote Control: the lead has none, and it starts with riff lead start (#1369).

• #638: The daemon starts the lead, work items and verifies at effort xhigh by default (#1333).
