Implements the ruled design (human, 2026-08-19) of #335, building on #334's registry-derived versioning (registry as version ledger, no push-back, loud registry-failure semantics — all retained).

Closes #335

The ruled design

Version intent lives in git tags; foundry.toml carries no release metadata. Soldeer consumption in this org is exact-pinned, so version numbers carry no range-resolution power — a wrong tag can only mislabel a reviewed release. No creation-time gate on intent tags; immutability after creation (org rulesets, a companion admin step) is the property that matters.

What changed

  • Version derivation (rainix-static/src/soldeer_gate.rs): publish_version = max(patch_bump(newest published), newest next-v<major.minor.patch> intent tag merged into HEAD) under numeric semver ordering. Consumed/stale intent tags are inert under the max. A next-v* tag that does not parse as major.minor.patch is a loud gate error. Non-next-v tags are ignored. The tag list reaches the decision functions as data (git tag --merged HEAD output); all decisions stay in tested pure functions (max_intent_tag, publish_version).
  • First publish (404 fail envelope or empty revision list — the pinned API shapes and loud transport/format errors from rainix-autopublish: derive the soldeer publish version from the registry; never push back to the consumer branch #334 are unchanged) now REQUIRES a next-v intent tag as the explicit version seed; its absence is a loud error naming the fix (git tag next-v0.1.0 && git push origin next-v0.1.0).
  • Content-hash normalization widens from version-line blanking to excluding the entire [external.package] / legacy [package] release-metadata section: the header, everything under it up to the next section header (or EOF), and the contiguous comment block attached directly above the header — the ruled consumer sweep deletes the section and its stale comment, and both must be content-neutral. A comment block attached directly above the NEXT header documents that next section and is kept, symmetrically. Any other foundry.toml change stays visible to the gate.
  • foundry.toml is not read and not rewritten: read_local_version, publish_version's local-floor parameter, set_first_version_line/set_version, and the soldeer-set-version subcommand are deleted; the workflow's checkout-rewrite step is gone and the publish step uses the gate-derived version arg only. The published zip carries whatever foundry.toml the repo has.
  • Shallow-checkout guard: git tag --merged HEAD on a shallow clone silently hides reachable intent tags, which would silently mis-version — the gate now refuses to run on a shallow checkout (same fail-safe posture as the registry-failure semantics). rainix-autopublish checks out with full history via a new fetch-depth pass-through input on the shared checkout composite (default '1' preserves every other caller's behavior; autopublish passes '0', which also fetches all tags).
  • Output unchanged: sol-v<version> tag on the triggering commit + GitHub release, pushed as tag refs only, decoupled from branch pushes.
  • Docs: autopublish soldeer-package input description, the soldeer gate/publish step comments, rainix-static usage text, and the library-lifecycle summary in rainix-tag-release.yaml's header all describe the new behavior. The deploy-repo lifecycle (rainix-tag-release) is untouched: there [package].version is the last released version by design.

Consumer-visible changes (transition behavior)

  • Consumers still carrying [external.package] (or legacy [package]) publish identically: the section is simply ignored (excluded from the content hash on both the local and the published side), so nothing changes until they have a real content change, which patch-bumps as before. The consumer sweep deleting the section + its stale comment is content-neutral and is a follow-up, not this PR.
  • Deliberate minor/major jumps are now expressed by pushing a next-v<x.y.z> tag on (an ancestor of) main instead of editing the version line in a PR.
  • A repo's FIRST soldeer publish now fails loud until a next-v tag is pushed (previously it silently used the local version line).
  • rainix-static soldeer-set-version no longer exists; nothing in the org invokes it outside the autopublish step removed here.
  • Autopublish's checkout is now full-history (fetch-depth: 0). The gate hard-fails on a shallow checkout rather than mis-versioning.

Companion steps (not this PR, per the issue)

  • Org/repo rulesets making sol-v* and next-v* create-once immutable (admin settings action).
  • Consumer sweep deleting [external.package] + stale comment across soldeer-publishing repos.

QA

  • Discriminating tests: strip_removes_external_package_section_and_attached_comment, strip_removes_legacy_package_section, strip_makes_section_edits_neutral, strip_keeps_comment_attached_to_next_header, strip_removes_section_at_eof, strip_removes_both_sections_when_present, norm_hash_ignores_release_metadata_section, intent_tag_parses_next_v, intent_tags_max_is_semver_not_string_or_date_order, intent_tag_malformed_is_loud_error, publish_version_first_publish_requires_intent_tag, publish_version_first_publish_uses_intent_tag, publish_version_intent_tag_above_bump_wins, shallow_checkout_is_refused — each fails on base (verified by running the full new test module against base (rainix-autopublish: derive the soldeer publish version from the registry; never push back to the consumer branch #334) semantics stubbed under the new signatures — version-line blanking, no intent-tag concept, no first-publish seed requirement, no shallow guard: exactly these 14 fail, all retained-behavior tests pass). Retained-behavior tests (publish_version_steady_state_patch_bumps_published, publish_version_stale_intent_tag_is_inert, publish_version_intent_equal_to_bump_is_the_bump, publish_version_orders_semver_not_strings, publish_version_errors_on_patch_overflow, publish_version_rejects_unparseable_remote, strip_is_identity_without_metadata_section, intent_tags_non_matching_ignored, metadata_header_detection, all registry_*) pin what must not regress.
  • Mutations applied: 20/20 KILLED, 0 survived/no-run (mutation-probe, baseline 136 green). M01 is_metadata_header junk-rest accepts -> metadata_header_detection; M02 trailing-comment form dropped -> same; M03 legacy [package] not stripped -> strip_removes_legacy_package_section; M04 [external.package] not stripped -> strip_removes_external_package_section_and_attached_comment; M05 is_any_header false -> same; M06 preceding comments kept -> same; M07 next-header walk-back removed -> strip_keeps_comment_attached_to_next_header; M08 foundry.toml never normalized -> norm_hash_ignores_release_metadata_section; M09 prefix next- -> intent_tag_parses_next_v; M10 malformed tag skipped -> intent_tag_malformed_is_loud_error; M11 last-tag-wins -> intent_tags_max_is_semver_not_string_or_date_order; M12 max->min -> intent_tag_parses_next_v; M13 first publish invents seed -> publish_version_first_publish_requires_intent_tag; M14 intent never wins -> publish_version_intent_tag_above_bump_wins; M15 intent always wins -> publish_version_stale_intent_tag_is_inert; M16 bump dropped -> publish_version_steady_state_patch_bumps_published; M17 overflow wraps -> publish_version_errors_on_patch_overflow; M18 components scrambled -> publish_version_first_publish_uses_intent_tag; M19 shallow accepted -> shallow_checkout_is_refused; M20 untrimmed match -> same
  • Oracle: the issue's ruled behavior spec (derivation formula, first-publish rule, section-exclusion neutrality incl. the sweep's comment deletion) plus real consumer foundry.toml shapes read from live repos (rain.datacontract's [external.package] + attached comment block, rain.math.float's legacy [package]) — expected values written from the spec and those files, independent of the implementation.
  • Category check: issue asks (1) widened section normalization with delete/edit/absence neutral and other changes visible — covered (strip_*, norm_hash_*); (2) tag-derived version: pattern, semver max over multiple tags, malformed loud, non-matching ignored, stale inert, steady-state patch bump — covered (intent_*, publish_version_*); (3) first publish requires tag, loud error naming the fix, pinned registry shapes intact — covered (publish_version_first_publish_*, registry_*); (4) deletion of foundry.toml read/rewrite paths — covered by removal + soldeer-set-version gone from dispatch; (5) sol-v tag/release output unchanged — workflow steps untouched (gate_output_* pins the machine output).

… carries no release metadata

Implements the ruled design of #335 on top of #334's registry-derived
versioning:

- publish version = max(patch_bump(newest published), newest next-v
  intent tag merged into HEAD) under semver ordering; consumed/stale
  intent tags are inert; a malformed next-v tag is a loud error.
- first publish (404 fail envelope or empty revision list) requires a
  next-v tag as the explicit seed; absent tag is a loud error naming
  the fix.
- content-hash normalization widens from version-line blanking to
  excluding the whole [external.package] / legacy [package] section,
  including the comment block attached above the header, so carrying,
  editing, or deleting the section (with its stale comment, per the
  ruled consumer sweep) is content-neutral.
- foundry.toml is never read for a version and never rewritten:
  read_local_version, publish_version's local-floor parameter, the
  soldeer-set-version subcommand, and the workflow's checkout rewrite
  step are deleted.
- the gate refuses to run on a shallow checkout (a shallow clone
  silently hides reachable intent tags); rainix-autopublish checks out
  with fetch-depth 0 via a new pass-through input on the checkout
  composite.
- sol-v tag + GitHub release output unchanged (tag refs only).

Closes #335

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The Soldeer gate now derives publish versions from registry patch bumps and merged next-v tags. It requires complete Git history, excludes Foundry release metadata from content hashes, and no longer reads or rewrites foundry.toml. Workflows update checkout behavior and Rainix revision pins.

Soldeer versioning and workflow integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checkout and publishing wiring
.github/actions/checkout/action.yml, .github/workflows/rainix-autopublish.yaml, .github/workflows/rainix-tag-release.yaml, .github/workflows/rainix-*/...
The checkout action accepts fetch-depth. Autopublish fetches full history and tags, passes gate-derived versions to publishing, and removes the checkout-only version rewrite. Rainix pins are updated across workflows.
Foundry metadata normalization
rainix-static/src/soldeer_gate.rs
The gate removes [external.package], legacy [package], and attached comments before hashing. Tests cover metadata neutrality and preservation of unrelated changes.
Intent-tag version derivation and command removal
rainix-static/src/soldeer_gate.rs, rainix-static/src/main.rs
The gate validates non-shallow history, parses merged next-v tags, applies registry patch bumps, requires first-publish intent tags, and reports malformed tags. The soldeer-set-version command and local version handling are removed.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d7ca3

The release gate can incorrectly fail when an unrelated tag happens to start with next-v, requiring owner follow-up before relying on the workflow broadly. The PR is otherwise mergeable with this bounded risk explicitly acknowledged, and the release-workflow description should be corrected for accuracy.

168-185: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

A non-intent tag that begins with next-v fails the gate.

strip_prefix("next-v") matches any tag name that starts with those characters. A tag such as next-version-freeze yields the remainder ersion-freeze, which fails parse_ver and aborts the whole publish run. The loud-error posture is correct for real intent tags, but the prefix is currently too broad to distinguish them.

Consider requiring the remainder to be digit-led before treating the tag as an intent tag, or match on a separator-anchored prefix.

♻️ Optional narrowing of intent-tag recognition
     for tag in tag_lines.lines().map(str::trim) {
         let Some(rest) = tag.strip_prefix("next-v") else {
             continue;
         };
+        // Only a digit-led remainder claims to be an intent version; anything
+        // else is an unrelated tag that happens to share the prefix.

@coderabbitai assess this PR size classification for the totality of the PR with the following criterias and report it in your comment:

S/M/L PR Classification Guidelines:

This guide helps classify merged pull requests by effort and complexity rather than just line count. The goal is to assess the difficulty and scope of changes after they have been completed.

Small (S)

Characteristics:

  • Simple bug fixes, typos, or minor refactoring
  • Single-purpose changes affecting 1-2 files
  • Documentation updates
  • Configuration tweaks
  • Changes that require minimal context to review

Review Effort: Would have taken 5-10 minutes

Examples:

  • Fix typo in variable name
  • Update README with new instructions
  • Adjust configuration values
  • Simple one-line bug fixes
  • Import statement cleanup

Medium (M)

Characteristics:

  • Feature additions or enhancements
  • Refactoring that touches multiple files but maintains existing behavior
  • Breaking changes with backward compatibility
  • Changes requiring some domain knowledge to review

Review Effort: Would have taken 15-30 minutes

Examples:

  • Add new feature or component
  • Refactor common utility functions
  • Update dependencies with minor breaking changes
  • Add new component with tests
  • Performance optimizations
  • More complex bug fixes

Large (L)

Characteristics:

  • Major feature implementations
  • Breaking changes or API redesigns
  • Complex refactoring across multiple modules
  • New architectural patterns or significant design changes
  • Changes requiring deep context and multiple review rounds

Review Effort: Would have taken 45+ minutes

Examples:

  • Complete new feature with frontend/backend changes
  • Protocol upgrades or breaking changes
  • Major architectural refactoring
  • Framework or technology upgrades

Additional Factors to Consider

When deciding between sizes, also consider:

  • Test coverage impact: More comprehensive test changes lean toward larger classification
  • Risk level: Changes to critical systems bump up a size category
  • Team familiarity: Novel patterns or technologies increase complexity

Notes:

  • the assessment must be for the totality of the PR, that means comparing the base branch to the last commit of the PR
  • the assessment output must be exactly one of: S, M or L (single-line comment) in format of: SIZE={S/M/L}
  • do not include any additional text, only the size classification
  • your assessment comment must not include tips or additional sections
  • do NOT tag me or anyone else on your comment
