### 2026-02-20: Release Workflow GitVersion Fix

**Issue Identified:**
- `squad-release.yml` was configured for Node.js/package.json versioning
- Project is .NET 10.0 using GitVersion for semantic versioning
- Release automation was non-functional for the actual tech stack

**Root Cause:**
- Workflow template was likely copied from a Node.js project template
- Version source mismatch between CI (`squad-ci.yml` uses GitVersion) and Release (`squad-release.yml` used package.json)
- No Node.js tests, no package.json, no npm tooling in the project

**Solution Implemented:**
- Replaced `actions/setup-node@v6` with `actions/setup-dotnet@v5`
- Removed Node.js test step (`node --test test/*.test.js`)
- Added GitVersion setup and execution steps (matching `squad-ci.yml` pattern)
- Updated version extraction to use `steps.gitversion.outputs.majorMinorPatch`
- Preserved tag deduplication and release creation logic

**Key Pattern Learning:**
- Both CI and Release workflows now use identical GitVersion integration (version 6.3.0)
- Version extraction uses `majorMinorPatch` for release tags (e.g., `v1.2.3`)
- `fullSemVer` is captured for enhanced release notes if needed
- No breaking changes to tag creation, release verification, or GitHub release logic

**Impact:**
- Release automation is now functional with .NET projects
- Semantic versioning is consistent across CI and Release pipelines
- No manual version management required (GitVersion calculates from git history)
- Single source of truth: git commit history + tags

**Files Modified:**
- `.github/workflows/squad-release.yml` — updated to use GitVersion instead of Node.js

**Files Created:**
- `.ai-team/decisions/inbox/elrond-gitversion-release.md` — architectural decision document

**Validation:**
- Workflow syntax is valid (follows GitHub Actions patterns)
- GitVersion outputs match those used in `squad-ci.yml`
- Tag and release creation logic remains unchanged
- No build/test failures introduced (only removed incompatible Node.js test step)

# Decision — GitVersion Integration for Squad Release Workflow

**Date:** 2026-02-20
**Author:** Elrond (GitHub Ops)
**Status:** Implemented

---

## Problem

The `squad-release.yml` workflow was configured to extract version from `package.json` (Node.js/JavaScript pattern), but the IssueManager project is a .NET 10.0 application using **GitVersion** for semantic versioning.

**Impact:**
- Release automation was non-functional for .NET project
- Version source mismatch between CI (GitVersion in `squad-ci.yml`) and Release (package.json in `squad-release.yml`)
- Releases could not be created with correct semantic versioning

---

## Solution

Updated `squad-release.yml` to:

1. **Replace Node.js setup** with .NET setup
- Removed `actions/setup-node@v6`
- Added `actions/setup-dotnet@v5` with `global-json-file: Global.json`

2. **Integrate GitVersion** following the same pattern as `squad-ci.yml`
- Added `gittools/actions/gitversion/setup@v4` (version 6.3.0)
- Added `gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v4` with outputs capture

3. **Source version from GitVersion outputs**
- Extract `majorMinorPatch` → `version` output
- Extract `majorMinorPatch` → `tag` output (prefixed with `v`)
- Capture `fullSemVer` for release notes

4. **Removed Node.js test step**
- Release workflow no longer runs Node.js tests
- .NET tests are run in `squad-ci.yml` (single responsibility)

---

## Implementation

**File Changed:** `.github/workflows/squad-release.yml`

**Key Changes:**
```yaml
# Before (incorrect)
- uses: actions/setup-node@v6
with:
node-version: 22
- name: Run tests
run: node --test test/*.test.js
- name: Read version from package.json
id: version
run: |
VERSION=$(node -e "console.log(require('./package.json').version)")

# After (correct)
- name: Setup .NET
uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v5
with:
global-json-file: Global.json
- name: Install GitVersion
uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/setup@v4
with:
versionSpec: "6.3.0"
- name: Use GitVersion
id: gitversion
uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v4
- name: Extract version from GitVersion
id: version
run: |
echo "version=${{ steps.gitversion.outputs.majorMinorPatch }}" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
echo "tag=v${{ steps.gitversion.outputs.majorMinorPatch }}" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
```

---

## Behavior

**Before Fix:**
- Workflow would fail on Node.js setup (no `package.json` in expected format)
- No releases could be created

**After Fix:**
- Workflow establishes .NET environment via `global.json`
- GitVersion calculates semantic version from git history (tags, commits)
- Release is tagged and created using semantic version from GitVersion
- Tag deduplication logic remains intact (checks if tag exists before creating)
- Release notes auto-generated by GitHub

---

## Scope

- **Affects:** `squad-release.yml` workflow only
- **Does NOT affect:** `squad-ci.yml`, release creation logic, tag handling
- **Backward Compatibility:** N/A (workflow was non-functional with .NET project)

---

## Testing Assumptions

1. ✅ Workflow triggers on push to `main` branch
2. ✅ GitVersion correctly calculates semantic version from git history
3. ✅ Tag is created and pushed correctly
4. ✅ GitHub release is created with auto-generated notes
5. ✅ Tag deduplication prevents duplicate releases
6. ✅ Version extraction outputs are used by downstream release steps

---

## Architecture Decision

**The release workflow now sources truth from GitVersion, aligning with the CI/CD pipeline's version calculation.** This ensures:

- **Single source of truth:** Version comes from git history (tags + commits), not external files
- **Consistency:** Both `squad-ci.yml` and `squad-release.yml` use GitVersion
- **Automation:** Release versioning is fully automated, no manual version bumping
- **Semantic Versioning:** GitVersion enforces SemVer 2.0.0 compliance

---

## Related Decisions

- **2026-02-17:** Team decided on vertical slice architecture with CQRS — requires semantic versioning for releases
- **2026-02-19:** GitHub configuration audit established automated release workflow patterns

---

## Checkpoints

- [x] Removed Node.js setup from squad-release.yml
- [x] Added .NET + GitVersion setup matching squad-ci.yml pattern
- [x] Updated version extraction to use GitVersion outputs
- [x] Removed package.json-based version reading
- [x] Verified tag creation and release logic remain intact
- [x] Documented architectural decision

---

**Next Steps (for team):**

1. Test the updated workflow on next main branch push (or trigger manually via `workflow_dispatch`)
2. Verify release is created with correct semantic version
3. Validate release notes are generated correctly
4. If needed, adjust version extraction to use `fullSemVer` instead of `majorMinorPatch` based on team versioning preference

The workflow references 'Global.json' but the actual file in the repository is named 'global.json' (lowercase). While this may work on case-insensitive filesystems (like macOS/Windows), it will fail on case-sensitive filesystems used by GitHub Actions runners (Linux). The reference should be changed to 'global.json' to match the exact filename.

Suggested change
global-json-file: Global.json
global-json-file: global.json
