Summary

Follow-up tracked separately

#1282 tracks turning this from a documented step into an automated release-preflight.ts check, so a future release can't skip it the way beta.5 did.

Note

The already-built v0.11.0-beta.5 binary still ships with beta.4 as its embedded "latest" changelog entry, since this PR necessarily lands after that tag. The new gate applies starting with beta.6.

Test plan

  • Docs-only change, no code touched
  • Full monorepo typecheck passes on every commit (unaffected, ran anyway per repo convention)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added HTTP endpoints for Altimate Base disclosure and registration, enabling credential setup from non-TUI hosts.
  • Improvements

    • Updated consent messaging for clearer, more approachable language.
    • Datamate’s stdio MCP server now inherits environment settings from the IDE integration entry.
  • Release Process

    • Beta release validation now identifies the previous beta automatically and requires changelog updates to be included in the tagged commit.

beta.5 was tagged without a changelog section (release-beta skill's
gate list doesn't call one out) — fixing forward via PR. The already-
built beta.5 binary still ships with beta.4 as its embedded latest
entry, since the changelog is baked in at tag time; this is correct
starting with the next beta.

The changelog adds the 0.11.0-beta.5 release entry. The beta release procedure now finds the previous beta tag and requires the changelog entry in the tagged commit.

The updated beta release procedure can generate incorrect changelog content when another branch has a higher beta tag. Restricting tag selection to HEAD history should be addressed before merge.

beta.5 shipped without a changelog entry because the skill's gate
checklist never asked for one, unlike the stable /release flow which
has a natural checkpoint (release branch + PR review) that would have
caught it. Adds it as gate 0 in Step 3, and calls out in Hard Rules
that it must land on main before the tag exists -- the changelog is
baked into the compiled binary at build time, so fixing it after
tagging only helps the next beta, not the one just cut.

Code Review Summary

Status: No Issues Found | Recommendation: Merge

Incremental review of 5beb6c50 (docs-only follow-up to .claude/commands/release-beta.md). All three previously flagged issues are correctly addressed, verified against the code:

  • Path fixpackages/opencode/script/build.ts:28-29,633 reads CHANGELOG.md into OPENCODE_CHANGELOG, and packages/opencode/script/publish.ts:122,128 copies it into every npm package; the corrected paths in gate 0 are accurate.
  • Shell-safe tag resolutiongit tag --list 'v*-beta.*' --sort=-version:refname | head -1 resolves v0.11.0-beta.5 correctly (version sort orders 0.11.x over 0.9.x, confirmed against remote tags), with a fail-closed guard when no prior beta tag exists.
  • Invariant rewording — "in the tagged commit, not on main" matches reality: release.yml is tag-triggered and checks out the tagged ref, and Step 4 (lines 151-153) explicitly supports tagging a branch; the main-branch-protection point is now correctly framed as situational.

No new issues in the changed lines.

Thanks for your contribution!

This PR doesn't have a linked issue. All PRs must reference an existing issue.

…ariant wording

- packages/opencode/script/build.ts / packages/opencode/script/publish.ts,
  not script/build.ts at repo root (doesn't exist).
- Resolve the previous beta tag with a real command instead of a literal
  <last-beta-tag> placeholder, which a shell parses as redirection into a
  file named "beta-tag>" rather than a git range.
- The actual invariant is "in the tagged commit," not "on main" -- Step 4
  already supports tagging a branch. main's branch protection needing a PR
  first is a separate, situational fact about that one ref, not a rule the
  release process itself imposes.

Select the previous beta from HEAD history.

git tag --list considers beta tags from all local branches. A higher beta tag on another branch can become LAST_BETA_TAG. The following git log can then use the wrong range and produce incorrect changelog content. Step 4 tags HEAD, so filter tags reachable from HEAD.

Proposed fix
-LAST_BETA_TAG=$(git tag --list 'v*-beta.*' --sort=-version:refname | head -1)
+LAST_BETA_TAG=$(git tag --list 'v*-beta.*' --merged HEAD --sort=-version:refname | head -1)
