  • on: createon: push: tags (create fires on every branch creation; the tag filter isn't honored)
  • gh release upload + secrets.REPO_TOKENsoftprops/action-gh-release@v2 + GITHUB_TOKEN: no PAT to expire, and the release is created if it doesn't exist yet (gh release upload fails on a bare tag)
  • setup-dotnet@v5, tag name from GITHUB_REF, explicit permissions: contents: write

Test command unchanged. Same pattern as NosCore.Packets.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Release Process
    • Improved automated release handling for version-tagged builds.
    • Release artifacts are now uploaded through the standard release workflow.
    • Updated build tooling and permissions to support more reliable publishing.

The create trigger fires on every branch creation; releases now trigger
on tag push. The release asset upload used gh release upload with a
REPO_TOKEN PAT, which requires the release to already exist and breaks
when the PAT expires — softprops/action-gh-release@v2 creates the
release on the built tag using the workflow token.

Walkthrough

The GitHub Actions workflow now builds releases from semantic version tag pushes, uses updated .NET setup, derives package names from GITHUB_REF, and uploads release assets with softprops/action-gh-release.

Changes

Release workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow triggers and tag validation
.github/workflows/dotnet.yml
The workflow adds semantic version tag pushes and pull requests to master, grants contents: write, upgrades setup-dotnet to v5, and validates full tag references.
Artifact packaging and release upload
.github/workflows/dotnet.yml
The packaging step derives TAG_NAME from GITHUB_REF. The release step uses softprops/action-gh-release@v2 with GITHUB_TOKEN and the packaged file.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 7c3fb

This workflow change gives pull-request builds repository write authority and allows tag data to reach shell execution, creating a path to unauthorized repository or package-release changes; it also may fail releases when the tag version differs from the project’s fixed package version. The PR should not merge until permissions and tag handling are hardened and package versioning is aligned.

In @.github/workflows/dotnet.yml:
- Line 25: Update the tag-matching condition in the workflow to use the
shell-provided GITHUB_REF environment variable instead of interpolating
github.ref into Bash source, while preserving the existing semantic-version tag
regular expression.
- Around line 13-14: Set the build job’s permissions to contents: read, and move
package publishing and release upload into a separate tag-only release job
configured with contents: write. Ensure the release job depends on the build job
and only runs for tag refs.
- Around line 42-44: Update the dotnet pack command to pass TAG_NAME as the
PackageVersion so the generated package filename matches the subsequent dotnet
nuget push and ARTIFACT_PATH references.

…e tag

Interpolating github.ref into the Bash source lets a crafted tag execute
shell code on a runner holding the NuGet key before the regex check
runs; reading $GITHUB_REF from the environment removes the injection
point. PackageVersion now comes from the tag so a tag no longer has to
match the csproj version for the push path to exist.

Build and test ran pull-request code in a job holding a contents: write
token that checkout also persisted into .git/config. Validation now runs
in a read-only job with persist-credentials: false; packing, the NuGet
push and the release upload move to a tag-gated job that alone gets
contents: write. action-gh-release bumped to v3 for the current runner
runtime.
