πŸ“¦ New Tools & Scripts

Standalone Version Validator

  • .agent/scripts/validate-version-consistency.sh: Comprehensive version validation tool
  • Color-coded reporting: Clear success/error messages for each file
  • Flexible usage: Validate current version or specific version
  • Comprehensive coverage: Checks VERSION file, README badge, sonar-project.properties, setup.sh

πŸ”„ Enhanced Release Process

The release process now includes:

  1. Version bumping in VERSION file
  2. File updates (README badge, sonar-project.properties, setup.sh)
  3. Validation checks to ensure consistency
  4. Git tagging (only if validation passes)
  5. GitHub release creation (only if validation passes)
