The pull request replaces Release Drafter with manual and reusable release workflows. It adds git-cliff configuration and release-note checks, supports draft release creation and asset-retry validation, and checks that pull request titles reflect breaking commits.
Changes: Release workflows and commit checks
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Release entry point and shared configuration .github/workflows/release-self.yml, .github/release-drafter.yml, .github/workflows/release-drafter.yaml, renovate.json, cliff.toml
A manual workflow passes inputs to the reusable release workflow. The pull request removes Release Drafter configuration and its workflow, configures Renovate to track git-cliff versions in workflow files, and adds changelog parsing and version rules.
Release preparation and draft creation .github/workflows/release.yml, README.md
The reusable workflow validates release context, computes or accepts a version, renders release notes, and can create a draft release and tag. It validates asset-retry requests. The README describes workflow use and release requirements.
The composite action checks first-parent commits against git-cliff context. It reports missing commits and fails unless forced. Tests cover mixed, forced, clean, and root-commit histories. Workflow filters include cliff.toml.
Breaking-commit title check .github/workflows/conventional-commits.yml, scripts/repo-settings.sh, README.md
The pull-request workflow requires a breaking title when a non-merge commit uses a breaking Conventional Commit subject. Repository settings configure merge commit titles and messages. The README documents the check.

Release automation can reject valid releases or validate a stale breaking-change title, so these issues should be addressed before merging.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/release-self.yml:
- Line 41: Remove the retry_assets_for input forwarding from the release-self
workflow so this entry point cannot trigger a retry that skips its only job;
keep the existing release job flow unchanged.
Review comments at @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Line 65: Remove the workflow_dispatch-only condition from the default-branch
check so it runs for every release-producing call, including calls triggered by
push or other events. Preserve the check’s existing branch validation and
release flow.
- Around line 151-156: Update the `missing` calculation in the release workflow
to compare commit IDs from the range against the generated release-notes
context, and include only commits absent from those notes. Preserve the existing
merge-commit normalization and filtering so commits already represented in the
notes do not stop the release when `force` is false.
- Line 55: Add a validation job for nonempty retry_assets_for that confirms the
tag identifies an existing draft release, and require asset jobs to depend on
its successful result before running. Ensure invalid targets, including
published releases, and dry_run requests cannot proceed through the asset-retry
path.
- Around line 126-129: Update the README’s release requirements to state that
the repository must have a prior release tag and that providing an explicit
version does not bypass this prerequisite enforced by the previous_tag check.
Keep the workflow behavior unchanged.

Count releasable commits by git-cliff’s processed classification.
raw_message contains the original commit message. Git-cliff applies commit_preprocessors before commit parsing. Therefore, a merge commit can be classified and rendered as feat, fix, or perf while its raw_message still starts with Merge pull request.
The current guard can then count zero and block automatic version selection. Use git-cliff’s processed classification for this check.

Review comments at @cliff.toml:
- Line 54: Update the preprocessor rule identified by the `(?s)\n.*` pattern to
exclude untrusted PR-description text from release notes without removing
`BREAKING CHANGE:` footers, so conventional-commit parsing can use those footers
for version calculation.
- Around line 29-33: Update the `protect_breaking_commits` release-note flow so
a protected branch-side breaking change is not omitted when the merge title
lacks the breaking marker: either require the merge title to carry that marker
or include protected breaking commits in the rendered notes.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/conventional-commits.yml:
- Around line 46-47: Update the `breaking` check in the commit-validation
workflow to inspect the complete pull-request commit list; use a source that is
not capped at 250 commits, or fail closed when the PR exceeds that limit so a
non-breaking title cannot pass with an incomplete list.
Review comments at @README.md:

subjects to state that each consuming repository must configure merge commits to
use the PR title as the commit subject, or that the workflow must resolve the PR
title before parsing. Clarify that the subject must be conventional so release
notes and version bumps stay aligned.

test-actions.yml runs the shell test directly. That test sets CLIFF_CONTEXT and FORCE itself, so it bypasses action.yml. A wiring regression can therefore leave the release guard with an incorrect range or context, or ignore force, while CI still passes.
Add a minimal workflow step that invokes the composite action with a missing commit and force: true. This also exercises the action's default ctx.json context.

Adds a reusable release workflow to be used in ARC, Solar and other repos later.
The new workflow is also used by dev-kit and replaces the existing release-drafter workflows.
