What Fluid Release does

Automates Fluid Framework client releases — minor and patch releases, version bumps, changelogs, release notes, and type test updates. Detects release state from schedule and repo, and executes the appropriate phase, with fallback to GitHub issues on failure.

Fluid Release is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Fluid Release comes from a repository tagged collaboration, crdt, datastructure, distributed and fluid.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Fluid Framework Client Release

Release workflow for the client release group. Supports two modes: interactive (default) and autonomous.

Environment Detection

Check the CI environment variable at the start of every session:

CI=true: Running in a GitHub Actions workflow. Use only origin (no upstream). Use CI-safe commands (see CI-safe alternatives). Never prompt for input. Log blockers and phase completions to workflow output for human review.
CI unset or false: Running locally. Use upstream/origin detection as described in Key Context.

Mode Selection

At the start of every release session, ask the user:

Would you like to run in interactive or autonomous mode?

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
