Summary

Documents `@game-ci/github-release-deploy`, `@game-ci/itch-deploy`, and `@game-ci/pseudo-localization` now that they're real implementations rather than structural drafts:

All three were previously entirely undocumented anywhere (their commands threw immediately, so there was nothing to document). New page under CLI docs, following the existing configuration-and-plugins page's structure.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added documentation for three experimental CLI plugins.
    • Included setup instructions, usage examples, available options, and limitations.
    • Documented GitHub Release deployment, itch.io uploads, and pseudo-localization workflows.
    • Clarified opt-in usage, required tooling, rerun behavior, and unsupported localization formats.

Documents @game-ci/github-release-deploy, @game-ci/itch-deploy, and
@game-ci/pseudo-localization now that they're real implementations
(game-ci/cli#217, #219, #218) rather than structural drafts - all three
were previously undocumented anywhere since they threw immediately.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new documentation page describes three experimental GitHub CLI plugins. It covers opt-in usage, options, examples, and limitations for release deployment, itch.io deployment, and pseudo-localization.

Changes

Experimental CLI plugins

Layer / File(s) Summary
Plugin usage and limitations
docs/03-github-cli/06-experimental-plugins.mdx
Documents the three experimental plugins, their commands and options, usage examples, and operational limitations.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b7dd6

The PR documents experimental deploy and QA plugins, but standalone CLI users may be unable to resolve the documented commands and GitHub Release users may encounter authorization failures because the required write permission is not documented. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded risks.

These CLI plugins are functional but new, not published to npm, and not loaded by default - opt in
with `--plugin <name>`. Expect rough edges, and verify against a test target (a test repo, a test
itch.io channel) before pointing any of them at something real.

Add a supported installation path for the unpublished plugins.

The plugin-loading documentation defines bare --plugin values as npm packages and requires unpublished plugins to use a local path. These commands pass unpublished package names, so users cannot load the plugins. Add checkout/build/local-path instructions or publish the packages.

GitHub REST API create release upload release asset fine-grained token Contents write permission

💡 Result:

To create a release and upload release assets using the GitHub REST API with a fine-grained personal access token, you must grant the Contents permission with write access [1][2][3]. The Contents permission specifically covers repository content, commits, branches, downloads, releases, and merges [1][3]. Key implementation details include: 1. Permission Scope: Ensure your fine-grained token has Repository permissions set to Contents: read and write [1][4]. 2. Release Creation: Use the Create a release endpoint (POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases). Note that if the release targets a commit that modifies files under.github/workflows/, you must also have the Workflows permission set to write [5][6]. 3. Asset Upload: The Create a release response returns an upload_url. You must use this specific URL to upload your release assets [5][7]. Upload the raw binary content of the asset as the request body, and include the appropriate Content-Type header (e.g., application/zip) [7]. If you receive a 403 or 404 error, you can use the X-Accepted-GitHub-Permissions header in the API response to verify the specific permissions required for your request [8].

Document the required GitHub token permission.

GitHub Release creation and asset upload require Contents: write. A read-only GITHUB_TOKEN can cause this command to fail. Document the requirement and show permissions: contents: write for workflow users.

Folding this into #585 instead - that PR already renumbers docs/03-github-cli/'s sidebar positions, and this standalone PR would collide with it on the same numbering. Content added there as 07-experimental-plugins.mdx.
