Release couper-vscode Extension

Release a new version of the Couper Configuration VS Code extension.

Context

• Current version: !node -p "require('./package.json').version"
• Recent tags: !git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -5
• Unreleased changelog section: !sed -n '/## \[Unreleased\]/,/^## \[v/p' CHANGELOG.md | head -30
• Git status: !git status --short

Steps

1. Validate preconditions

   • Ensure working tree is clean (no uncommitted changes)
   • Ensure branch is master and up to date with remote (git pull --rebase)
   • Verify there are unreleased changes in CHANGELOG.md; abort if the Unreleased section is empty

2. Determine version

   • If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use that as the new version
   • Otherwise, show the unreleased changes and ask the user to choose: patch, minor, or major bump
   • Validate the version is semver and greater than the current version

3. Bump version in package.json

   • Update the "version" field to the new version

4. Update CHANGELOG.md

   • Replace the [Unreleased] compare link to reference the new version tag
   • Add a new empty [Unreleased] section above with compare link from new version to master
   • Move existing unreleased entries under the new version heading
   • Follow the existing format in the file

5. Commit and push

   • Stage package.json and CHANGELOG.md
   • Commit with message: release: <version>
   • Push to remote

6. Tag and push tag

   • Create annotated tag v<version>
   • Push the tag to remote

7. Create GitHub Release

   • Use gh release create v<version> with the changelog entries as release notes
   • Use the Added/Changed/Fixed/Removed sections from the changelog as the body

8. Verify

   • Confirm the release workflow was triggered: gh run list --limit 1
   • Print the release URL and marketplace link for the user to monitor

Important

• Never force-push or amend commits
• If git push fails due to remote changes, git pull --rebase first
• The CI workflow (.github/workflows/release.yaml) handles publishing to both VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX Registry automatically on GitHub Release creation
