Reuse One Release ID in Every Local Verification Example

[ptr727]

Fixes a finding raised against #108 (the develop -> main promotion PR): each of the three build-and-verify snippets in OPERATIONS.md, README.md, and deploy/README.md omitted EXPECT_RELEASE, so the live check never actually verified the running Caddy rules belonged to the release the command just built. Each now captures one RELEASE value and passes it to both commands.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Release documentation now derives a short Git commit identifier, passes it to release creation, and verifies that live URLs serve the same release.

Changes

Release verification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Commit-based release verification OPERATIONS.md, README.md, deploy/README.md	The documented release flows derive a short commit identifier, pass it to make-release.sh, and provide it to check-live-urls.sh through EXPECT_RELEASE. Production and staging instructions also select the corresponding environment file.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to ab580

If Git cannot resolve the release ID, the documented commands may build using a fallback while skipping the check that confirms the running rules belong to that release, weakening the intended verification guarantee. The PR should add a fail-closed guard or obtain explicit owner acceptance before merging.

Reuse a single RELEASE id across local build-and-verify documentation

📝 Documentation🐞 Bug fix🕐 Less than 10 minutes

AI Description

• Capture one RELEASE value and reuse it across build and verification steps.
• Pass EXPECT_RELEASE so check-live-urls.sh validates the deployed Caddy rules’ release.
• Clarify make-release.sh arguments (empty deploy-root arg) and why it matters.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Make `make-release.sh` emit and export RELEASE for follow-on checks

• ➕ Eliminates manual git rev-parse usage in docs and reduces copy/paste drift
• ➕ Encourages a single source of truth for the release id across tooling
• ➖ Requires changing script behavior/output contract (potentially breaking callers)
• ➖ Still needs a clear pattern for consuming the exported value across shells/CI

2. Have `check-live-urls.sh` default EXPECT_RELEASE to the just-built release

• ➕ Makes the safe behavior the default; harder to accidentally skip the stamp guard
• ➕ Keeps docs simpler and reduces required env wiring
• ➖ check-live-urls.sh may not reliably know the intended release in all contexts
• ➖ Could surprise users who rely on current non-gated behavior

Recommendation: The current documentation-only fix is the right immediate change: it restores the intended safety check without altering runtime tooling. Consider a follow-up to have the build script output/export the release id (or otherwise provide a machine-consumable release identifier) so future examples and automation cannot omit EXPECT_RELEASE and silently weaken verification.

OPERATIONS.mdReuse RELEASE and enforce EXPECT_RELEASE in local mirror verification steps+7/-5

Reuse RELEASE and enforce EXPECT_RELEASE in local mirror verification steps

• Updates both production and staging snippets to capture 'RELEASE' once and pass it to 'deploy/make-release.sh' and 'checks/check-live-urls.sh' via 'EXPECT_RELEASE'. Expands the surrounding explanation to document the empty deploy-root argument and why reuse prevents skipping the release-stamp guard.

Fix build-and-verify example to check the built release id

• Adjusts the quickstart verification snippet to capture a 'RELEASE' value and reuse it for the build and live check. Ensures 'EXPECT_RELEASE' is set so the live check validates the running rules correspond to the built release.

README.md

README.mdAlign deploy docs snippet with RELEASE/EXPECT_RELEASE verification flow+3/-2

Align deploy docs snippet with RELEASE/EXPECT_RELEASE verification flow

• Updates the deploy documentation example to capture 'RELEASE' and pass it to both 'make-release.sh' and 'check-live-urls.sh'. This ensures the verification step is release-stamp guarded instead of implicitly skipping it.
