WalkthroughThe pull request replaces Docker publishing with Release Please and GoReleaser workflows. It adds multi-architecture release image packaging, validation checks, release documentation, and two small Go source updates. ChangesRelease automation
Go runtime maintenance
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new release path can fail before its test gate and may leave a draft release that is skipped on rerun, preventing publication. The release image also runs as root and forwards broader-than-needed secrets. These concrete merge-readiness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files. (10 skipped: 10 unsupported.) Full details: TestsExplanation The pull request adds the release pipeline, GoReleaser configuration, and release Dockerfile, but it adds no tests or test files. The only test-related workflow change runs the existing application suite, gofmt, vet, and staticcheck. No test validates the new release workflow, image tags, cross-platform packaging, draft-release publication, or Dockerfile contract. The diff also shows no changes to any Resolution Add automated release-pipeline tests to CI. Cover the important release path: validate the workflow job dependencies and release-created condition, validate the GoReleaser Linux amd64/arm64 image configuration and all required tags, and validate the release Dockerfile's platform-specific binary copy and entrypoint. Run these checks, plus a reproducible GoReleaser configuration or snapshot validation, as part of the test workflow. ✨ Finishing Touches📝 Generate docstrings

In @.github/workflows/release-pipeline.yml:
- Line 48: Remove the secrets: inherit setting from the workflow job invoking
GoReleaser, while preserving the called workflow’s existing GITHUB_TOKEN access.
In `@Dockerfile.release`:
- Line 5: Update Dockerfile.release to create a dedicated non-root runtime user,
grant it only the required ownership or write permissions for /app and migration
output, and add USER before ENTRYPOINT so the proxy runs without root
privileges.
In `@release-please-config.json`:
- Around line 4-5: Update the release-pipeline.yml publication conditions to
recognize and resume from the matching existing draft release or tag, rather
than gating both publication jobs solely on release_created == 'true'. Preserve
the existing automatic pipeline behavior while allowing reruns after failed
publication; do not rely on the manual workflow_dispatch recovery path.

Ported from argonaut, trimmed to what a self-hosted daemon needs: the container image is the only distribution channel, so the AUR, Nix, Homebrew, npm and native-package parts of that pipeline are left out. release-please keeps a release PR open from the conventional-commit history. Merging it tags the commit and drafts release notes; GoReleaser then cross-compiles for amd64 and arm64, pushes the image to ghcr.io under version, minor, major and latest tags, and the release is undrafted once the image is pullable. Every published image is gated on the test suite. docker-publish.yml is replaced. It pushed :latest from every commit on main, so :latest now means the newest release instead of the newest commit. Its test gate moved into the release pipeline. Dockerfile.release packages the binary GoReleaser has already cross-compiled, so it has no RUN step and needs no emulation to build the arm64 image. The existing Dockerfile stays for local builds. test.yml additionally checks gofmt and runs staticcheck. Two deprecations staticcheck flags are fixed to keep it green: io/ioutil, deprecated since Go 1.19, and net.Dialer.DualStack, a no-op since Go 1.12. Neither changes behaviour. scripts/rotate-release-token.sh sets up and rotates the one secret the pipeline needs. GitHub has no API for creating a personal access token, so the script opens the form, says what to tick, then authenticates as the pasted token, refuses it unless it can write to the repository, warns when it expires sooner than 180 days, and reads the stored secret back. The token is never echoed and never passed as an argument.

Ports argonaut's build-and-publish pipeline, trimmed to what doormouse actually needs.
What it does
release-pleasekeeps a release PR open, generated from the conventional-commit history onmain. Merging that PR tags the commit and drafts the release notes; GoReleaser then cross-compiles forlinux/amd64andlinux/arm64, builds the image, and pushes it toghcr.io/darksworm/doormouseunder four tags:0.4.10.40latestThe release stays a draft until the image is pushed, so a release is never visible describing an image you cannot pull. Nothing is published unless the test suite passes.
Scope
In, from argonaut:
release-please(config + manifest), the reusablegoreleaserworkflow, therelease-pipelineorchestration, and the gofmt/staticcheck additions totest.yml.Left out, since the container image is the only distribution channel for a self-hosted daemon: the AUR package, Nix flake and vendorhash-update workflow, Homebrew cask, deb/rpm/apk packages, the npm wrapper, the cross-distro install integration tests, and the PR pre-release snapshot builds.
Changes worth a second look
docker-publish.ymlis deleted. It pushed:latestand a:sha-…tag from every commit onmain. After this, images come only from releases, so:latestmeans the newest release rather than the newest commit — the point of the change, but it does mean no more per-commit images. Its test gate moved into the release pipeline.Dockerfile.releaseis new, alongside the existingDockerfile. The existing one still compiles from source for local builds; the new one only copies the binary GoReleaser already cross-compiled, so there is noRUNstep and no QEMU emulation when building the arm64 image. Same entrypoint contract as before: config mounted at/app/config.toml, port 8080 exposed.main.go(separate commit):io/ioutil→os.ReadFile, and dropping the no-opnet.Dialer.DualStack. staticcheck flags both, so CI would otherwise land red. No behaviour change.GOTOOLCHAIN: auto. staticcheck v0.8.1 needs Go 1.26, newer than the versiongo.modpins, so the go command fetches that toolchain for the lint step only. Tests still run on the versiongo.moddeclares.Before merging
RELEASE_PLEASE_TOKENmust exist as a repository secret — a PAT withcontents: writeandpull-requests: write. It is deliberately notGITHUB_TOKEN: pushes and PRs made withGITHUB_TOKENdo not trigger workflows, so the release PR would never run the tests it is meant to gate on. Everything else usesGITHUB_TOKEN, including the ghcr login.0.1.0. The manifest is seeded at0.0.0, and the repository has no tags, so the first release PR will cover the whole history and thefeat:commits in it bump the minor. To start at1.0.0instead, add"release-as": "1.0.0"torelease-please-config.jsonfor one run and drop it afterwards, or put aRelease-As: 1.0.0footer in a commit. Editing the manifest is not the way: it records the version already released, so setting it to1.0.0would make the next release1.1.0.Verification
goreleaser checkpasses, and a fullgoreleaser release --snapshotbuilds both architectures. The image build itself was not run locally — no Docker daemon on this machine — so the first release is the real test ofDockerfile.release. Thegoreleaserworkflow accepts a tag viaworkflow_dispatch, so a failed image push can be retried without cutting a new version.actionlintis clean on all three workflows.gofmt,go vet,staticcheckandgo test -race -shuffle=onall pass.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
