Continuous Integration

All pull requests run the build → lint → test pipeline via GitHub Actions. Ensure local runs are green before opening a PR.

PR Checks

Pull requests targeting develop, main, or any support/* branch trigger the shared build workflow which runs linting, tests with coverage, and uploads results to Codecov.

Release (main branch)

Pushes to main trigger the full release workflow:

1. Build & test — runs the shared build pipeline.
2. Release — creates a GitHub Release tagged with the package version (e.g., v3.1.6), marks it as the latest release, and publishes to npm under the latest dist-tag.
3. Deploy docs — after a successful release, builds TypeDoc documentation and deploys to GitHub Pages.

Release (support branches)

Pushes to support/* branches (e.g., support/1.0, support/2.0) trigger the same release workflow with the following differences:

• Docs are not deployed — only main publishes documentation to GitHub Pages.
• GitHub Release is not marked as latest — the release is still created with the full version tag (e.g., v2.0.9) but will not appear as the "Latest" release in the GitHub UI.
• npm publish uses a version-specific dist-tag — instead of latest, support branches publish under v{major}-latest (e.g., v2-latest, v1-latest). This ensures npm install polarity-integration-utils continues to resolve to the current major version while older versions remain installable via their dist-tag (e.g., npm install polarity-integration-utils@v2-latest).
