📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The GitHub Actions release workflow refactors prerelease detection logic by introducing a dedicated prerelease flag. When a branch matches the *-pre pattern, the workflow now explicitly sets prerelease=true instead of relying on tag=next, then passes this flag directly to the release script.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
GitHub Actions Release Workflow .github/workflows/release.yml	Refactored prerelease detection to use a dedicated prerelease flag instead of inferring prerelease status from the tag value. Updated the release script invocation to conditionally pass --prerelease based on the prerelease flag rather than checking if dist-tag equals 'next'.

Poem

🐰 A simpler path, we've found today,
With prerelease flags that clearly say,
No need to guess from tags so grand—
Just true or false, you understand!
Our workflows hop with clearer ways,
Through GitHub Actions' sunny days! 🌟

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 2 | ❌ 1

❌ Failed checks (1 inconclusive)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Title check	❓ Inconclusive	The title 'chore: tweak prerelease flow' is partially related to the changeset. It refers to the prerelease flow mentioned in the changes, but is vague about the specific nature of the tweak (refactoring the dist-tag determination logic to use a prerelease flag).	Consider a more specific title like 'chore: use prerelease flag instead of dist-tag for release script' to better reflect the actual implementation change.

✅ Passed checks (2 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
