How WorldScript Studio Turned Git Releases Into a Verified, Multi-Step Discipline
WorldScript Studio, an open-source web-and-desktop writing app, has developed a rigorous release process that goes far beyond simply pushing a Git tag. The project uses a single source of truth in package.json, with automated prebuild scripts syncing version numbers across all config files to prevent version drift that would otherwise cause build failures. A dedicated tag-verification job runs before any build begins, checking the tag's GitHub signature so that unverified tags never reach downstream pipeline steps. A costly lesson from release v1.28.5 — where a plugin version mismatch wasted 45 minutes across the full desktop matrix — led to a fast preflight parity check that catches such errors in seconds. Changelog entries are also enforced at the PR level, requiring real GitHub-assigned PR numbers before merge to prevent incomplete documentation from reaching the main branch.
