# Flux Controller Minor Releases
Use this skill for upstream Flux controller **minor** releases (`vX.Y.0`) only —
the release that opens a new `release/vX.Y.x` series. Do not use it for `flux2`,
`pkg`, or other non-controller repos.
Supported controllers:
- `helm-controller`
- `image-automation-controller`
- `image-reflector-controller`
- `kustomize-controller`
- `notification-controller`
- `source-controller`
- `source-watcher`
## Important rules
- **Strictly follow the documented git commands, one step at a time.** Each step
below has a reason. Do not invent substitutions, batch unrelated commands into
one shell invocation, or insert extra verification commands between documented
steps unless asked. Adapt only the version numbers.
- **Never block the conversation on long-running operations.** CI checks, the
tag-triggered release workflow, and approval waits must be watched in the
background (`run_in_background`) so the user can keep steering and you get
notified on completion. A foreground watch blocks the session.
- **Always quote PR/issue links as full URLs** (e.g.
`https://github.com/fluxcd/source-controller/pull/2082`), never the
`<owner>/<repo>#<number>` shorthand — full URLs are clickable from the user's
terminal.
- **Start background watches on every PR immediately after opening it.** Kick off
`gh pr checks <num> -R fluxcd/<repo> --watch` in the background as soon as the
PR is created, and the same for tag-triggered release workflows
(`gh run watch <id> -R fluxcd/<repo>`).
- **Also start a background approval watch per PR.** `gh pr checks --watch` only
covers CI, not maintainer approval. Poll the review state in the background:
```
while :; do
state=$(gh pr view <num> -R fluxcd/<repo> --json mergeStateStatus,reviewDecision --jq '.reviewDecision+" "+.mergeStateStatus')
case "$state" in "APPROVED CLEAN") echo "$state"; break;; esac
sleep 30
done
```
- Every git commit must use `-s` (sign-off). Never include Co-Authored-By lines,
your own name, or any AI attribution in commit messages, PR titles, or PR
descriptions. This applies to the skill-update PR too.
- Always wait for CI to go green before merging any PR.
- You cannot approve your own PRs. If a PR was opened by the git user driving the
session, ask a maintainer to approve it (or confirm it is already approved)
before merging.
- **Merge release PRs yourself** as soon as CI is green **and** a maintainer has
approved — act immediately so the next step (tag push, merge to main, label PR)
unblocks. Applies only to PRs opened with the user's account this session.
- **Review feedback on the release PR is applied by amending**, not by adding new
commits. The release PR must stay at exactly two commits
(`Add changelog entry for vX.Y.0` and `Release vX.Y.0`). Use
`git reset --soft HEAD~2` + re-commit, or an interactive rebase, then
`git push --force-with-lease`.
- **After applying a review fix, reply `Fixed, thanks!` on the thread and resolve
it.** Reply via
`gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<n>/comments/<cid>/replies -f body='Fixed, thanks!'`
and resolve via the GraphQL `resolveReviewThread` mutation.
- Tags must be annotated and signed (`git tag -s -m ...`). Never create release
tags through the GitHub API — that produces lightweight tags which break
`git tag -v` verification.
- **PR titles and bodies.** Release-prep and label PRs use the commit subject as
the title. The release→main PR uses the GitHub-default humanized branch name
`Release/vX.Y.x`. Every PR body is a single line pointing at the flux2 minor
release tracking issue: `Part of: https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/issues/NNNN`.
- **Do not declare the release done until every step below has run**, including
the final backport label PR (step 11). Tagging and merging to main are not the
last step. Walk the numbered steps and confirm each one ran before reporting
completion.
## Preconditions
- Read the upstream procedure at `website/content/en/flux/releases/procedure.md`,
section `Controllers: minor releases`
(https://fluxcd.io/flux/releases/procedure/#controllers-minor-releases).
- Identify the flux2 minor-release tracking issue so PR bodies can reference it
(`Part of: https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/issues/NNNN`).
- Use `date` to get the release date for the changelog entry.
- `git fetch --all --tags --prune` before reasoning about branches, tags, or
merged PRs. Do not trust stale local `origin/*` refs.
- Treat `git` and `gh` commands as confirmation points if the user wants that.
## Release Flow
For the controller being released (target version `vX.Y.0`):
1. Create the release series branch from `main` and push it.
- `git switch -c release/vX.Y.x main`
- `git push origin release/vX.Y.x`
2. Create the release preparation branch from the series branch.
- `git switch -c release-vX.Y.0 release/vX.Y.x`
3. Draft the new `CHANGELOG.md` entry (see "How To Build The Changelog Entry").
Then commit it.
- `git add CHANGELOG.md`
- `git commit -s -m "Add changelog entry for vX.Y.0"`
4. Apply the release version bump exactly as documented.
- Update the controller self-API version in the root `go.mod` to `vX.Y.0`.
Inspect the actual `go.mod`; do not assume the self-API path form
(`source-watcher` uses `github.com/fluxcd/source-watcher/api/v2`).
- Update `config/manager/kustomization.yaml` `newTag` to `vX.Y.0`.
- `git add go.mod config/manager/kustomization.yaml`
- `git commit -s -m "Release vX.Y.0"`
5. Push the release preparation branch.
- `git push origin release-vX.Y.0`
6. Open and merge the release PR into the release series branch.
- Base: `release/vX.Y.x` Head: `release-vX.Y.0`
- Title `Release vX.Y.0`, body `Part of: <tracking issue URL>`.
- Merge when CI is green and a maintainer has approved.
7. Refresh the release series branch after the merge.
- `git switch release/vX.Y.x`
- `git pull origin release/vX.Y.x`
- Confirm both version refs are `vX.Y.0` on the merged commit before tagging.
8. Create and push signed tags from the updated release series branch. Push the
`api/` tag first — the release tag depends on it.
- `git tag -s -m "api/vX.Y.0" api/vX.Y.0`
- `git push origin api/vX.Y.0`
- `git tag -s -m "vX.Y.0" vX.Y.0`
- `git push origin vX.Y.0`
9. Verify the release workflow triggered by the `vX.Y.0` tag. Watch it in the
background until it concludes successfully (images published + signed, SBOM,
SLSA provenance, GitHub release created).
10. Merge the release series branch into `main` via PR. This merges the whole
branch (changelog + version bump), not a cherry-pick.
- Base: `main` Head: `release/vX.Y.x`
- Leave the title at the GitHub default — the humanized branch name
`Release/vX.Y.x`. Body `Part of: <tracking issue URL>`.
- Merge when CI is green and approved.
11. **Last:** open the backport label PR against `main`. Do this only **after**
step 10 has merged.
- `git switch main`
- `git pull origin main`
- `git switch -c label-X.Y main`
- Append to `.github/labels.yaml`, after the previous `backport:` entry:
```yaml
- name: backport:release/vX.Y.x
description: To be backported to release/vX.Y.x
color: '#ffd700'
```
- `git add .github/labels.yaml`
- `git commit -s -m "Add backport:release/vX.Y.x label"`
- `git push origin label-X.Y`
- Open PR (base `main`, title `Add backport:release/vX.Y.x label`, body
`Part of: <tracking issue URL>`) and merge when green.
- **Why last:** the label branch is cut from `main`. If you open it before
step 10 merges, that merge moves `main` forward and the label PR must then
be rebased onto the new `main` and force-pushed
(`git rebase main` + `git push --force-with-lease`). Opening it last avoids
the rebase entirely.
## How To Build The Changelog Entry
A minor changelog entry summarizes what is **new in vX.Y.0 relative to the whole
vX.(Y-1) line** — not every commit since the previous minor. The hard part is
selecting exactly the right PRs.
### Selecting the PRs (do this rigorously — do not infer from commit messages)
1. Establish the candidate set: PRs merged to `main` since the previous minor
(`v(X).(Y-1).0`).
- From merge commits:
`git log --merges --grep="Merge pull request" v(X).(Y-1).0..release/vX.Y.x`
and extract the `#NNNN`.
- Cross-check against `gh` so squash/rebase merges are not missed:
`gh pr list --base main --state merged --limit 200 --json number,mergedAt,title`
filtered to merges after the previous minor's release timestamp.
2. **Verify every candidate PR via `gh pr view <n> -R fluxcd/<repo> --json number,baseRefName,state,mergedAt,title`.**
Keep only PRs that are `MERGED` and have `baseRefName == main`. Use the PR
title from GitHub, never the local merge-commit subject (these drift; e.g. a
commit may say one thing while the PR title says another).
3. **Exclude PRs already shipped in a patch release of the previous minor**
(anything `> v(X).(Y-1).0` and `< vX.Y.0`). Read the `## (X).(Y-1).Z` patch
sections already in `CHANGELOG.md` and drop any candidate whose change shipped
there. Note the patch changelogs cite the **cherry-pick** PR numbers
(against `release/v(X).(Y-1).x`), which differ from the original `main` PR
numbers — match by change, not by number.
4. **Exclude release mechanics PRs**: changelog cherry-pick/"Add changelog entry"
PRs, the previous release's `Release/v(X).(Y-1).x` merge-back, and label PRs.
5. Collapse routine dependency bumps (fluxcd/pkg, CI actions, k8s/Go bumps whose
content already shipped in a patch) into a single `Various dependency updates`
bullet listing each PR link. Keep genuinely user-facing items as their own
bullets. See "Dependency update PRs" below before settling for a generic line.
### Writing the entry
Write the new section at the top of `CHANGELOG.md`, matching the existing minor
entries in that repo:
- `## X.Y.0`
- `**Release date:** YYYY-MM-DD` (from `date`)
- A one–two sentence intro naming the headline theme.
- Optional `⚠️` upgrade warnings (API removals, required `flux migrate`, etc.).
When warning about a deprecated/beta API removal, link the upgrade instruction
to the canonical flux2 upgrade-procedure discussion
(https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/discussions/5572), not to a one-off
`flux migrate` PR — the discussion is the maintained guide covering both the
Flux CLI and Flux Operator migration paths. Older changelog entries may still
point at a migrate PR; do not copy that, use the discussion link.
- Per-API subsections (`### GitRepository`, `### OCIRepository`,
`### HelmChart`, `### Bucket`, …) describing notable features in prose.
- An optional `### General updates` subsection for k8s/Go/dependency posture.
- `Fixes:` and `Improvements:` bullet lists, each bullet a short title plus one
or more `[#NNNN](https://github.com/fluxcd/<repo>/pull/NNNN)` links.
Surface borderline items (repo-internal docs, a dep bump whose content already
shipped in a patch) to the user rather than guessing whether to headline them.
### Dependency update PRs
Do not reduce a dependency bump to a generic line without checking its substance.
- Read the PR description, follow referenced upstream PRs (e.g.
`Includes: fluxcd/pkg#NNNN`), and look at the `go.mod` diff.
- Call out seSkill source recorded

vX.Y.0Merge the release series branch into main via PR. This merges the whole
branch (changelog + version bump), not a cherry-pick.
main Head: release/vX.Y.xRelease/vX.Y.x. Body Part of: <tracking issue URL>.Last: open the backport label PR against main. Do this only after
step 10 has merged.
git switch maingit pull origin maingit switch -c label-X.Y main.github/labels.yaml, after the previous backport: entry:

Part of: <tracking issue URL>) and merge when green.main. If you open it before
step 10 merges, that merge moves main forward and the label PR must then
be rebased onto the new main and force-pushed
(git rebase main + git push --force-with-lease). Opening it last avoids
the rebase entirely.Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
