aware-release
aware-release packages the release automation used by aware-cli, Studio, and pipeline tooling. It assembles bundle artefacts, generates manifests, and publishes archives through a consistent, schema-validated interface.
Install
pip install aware-release
The CLI executable aware-release is added to your PATH. The library targets Python 3.12+.
Features
- Build aware-cli bundle directories and archives (zip/tar) without baking a virtualenv.
- Generate manifest metadata backed by Pydantic models for deterministic validation.
- Provide publishing adapters (command, GitHub Releases, S3) that emit structured receipts.
- Supply helper workflows for rule versioning so CLI bundles ship with current documentation.
- Share a reusable secret registry with resolver diagnostics for environment variables and
.envfiles.
Quick Start
Run the bundled CLI help to explore subcommands:
aware-release --help
aware-release bundle --help
Bundle an aware-cli wheel:
aware-release bundle \
--channel dev \
--version 0.1.0 \
--platform linux-x86_64 \
--wheel dist/aware_cli-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl
Generate publish metadata (dry-run by default):
aware-release publish \
--manifest releases/dev/0.1.0/linux-x86_64/manifest.json \
--archive releases/dev/0.1.0/linux-x86_64/bundle.tar.gz \
--adapter command \
--adapter-command "echo upload {archive}"
Secret diagnostics
aware-release powers the shared secret registry used by aware-cli and the release pipeline. Tokens may come from process environment variables, .env files, or custom resolvers registered via aware_release.secrets.register_resolver(). Inspect the current state with:
uv run --project tools/cli aware-cli release secrets-list
Each entry reports whether the secret is present, the resolver (env, dotenv@..., etc.), and any resolver metadata (e.g., .env paths or parse warnings). When a workflow token is missing, the error message now lists the resolvers that were checked and points back to secrets-list for remediation. Programmatic callers can use aware_release.resolve_secret_info("GH_TOKEN_RELEASE") to obtain the same diagnostics.
Python Usage
from pathlib import Path
from aware_release.bundle.builder import BundleBuilder, BundleConfig
builder = BundleBuilder()
config = BundleConfig(
channel="dev",
version="0.1.0",
platform="linux-x86_64",
source_wheels=[Path("dist/aware_cli-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl")],
output_dir=Path("releases"),
)
bundle_path = builder.build(config)
print(bundle_path)
Release automation
The release pipeline bundles build/test/publish flows so agents can ship packages with a single command. Example (dry run):
uv run --project tools/release-pipeline release-pipeline pipeline run \
--pipeline tests-release \
--input bump=patch \
--input dry-run=true \
--input skip-workflow=true
Remove dry-run/skip-workflow once the build succeeds to trigger the GitHub publish-aware-test-runner workflow and PyPI publish.
Rule Version Automation
aware-release rules render \
--rules-root docs/rules \
--manifest build/rule-manifest.json
This wrapper regenerates rule versions (mirroring aware-cli docs render --target rules --write-version) and emits a manifest for downstream packaging.
Publishing
To publish to PyPI using the shared workflow:
# Dry run via release-pipeline helper
uv run --project tools/release-pipeline release-pipeline cli aware-release publish-pypi --dry-run
# Then trigger GitHub Action (Publish aware-release) with dry_run=false
The workflow uses trusted publishers (OIDC), so no persistent PyPI token is required.
CI / Tests
Run the test suite with:
uv run --project tools/release pytest

All commands emit structured JSON for automation pipelines.
## Rule version automation
aware-cli owns rule rendering, so every release pipeline should regenerate the versioned rule set before building bundles. The new `--write-version` workflow turns templates into versioned/current copies and emits a manifest for downstream packaging.
Minimal example (run inside the aware repository):
```bash
export AWARE_RULES_ROOT=${AWARE_RULES_ROOT:-docs/rules}
CLI_VERSION=$(uv run --project tools/cli python -c "import aware_cli; print(aware_cli.__version__)")
# Iterate over the rule ids we ship (list_rules() may be used for automation)
for rule_id in 02-task-01-lifecycle 02-task-03-change-tracking 04-agent-01-memory-hierarchy; do
uv run --project tools/cli aware-cli docs render \
--target rules \
--rule "$rule_id" \
--write-version \
--cli-version "$CLI_VERSION" \
--rules-root "$AWARE_RULES_ROOT" \
--update-current copy \
--json-output build/rule-manifest.json
done
The above command:
- Loads each template from
$AWARE_RULES_ROOT/templates/<rule>.mdand renders fresh fragments. - Writes versioned copies under
$AWARE_RULES_ROOT/versions/<cli-version>/with frontmatter containingaware_cli_version,generated_at, andsource_template. - Copies the version into
$AWARE_RULES_ROOT/current/(use--update-current symlinkif the platform supports symlinks). - Appends a JSON manifest entry to
build/rule-manifest.json; the release scripts can read this manifest to stage artefacts or publish alongside the bundle.
For more dynamic pipelines, you can gather rule identifiers programmatically:
uv run --project tools/cli python - <<'PY'
from aware_cli.objects.rule.meta import list_rules
for rule in list_rules():
print(rule.id)
PY
Always regenerate rules before invoking aware-release bundle so the archive includes up-to-date rules/versions/<cli-version> and rules/current. External consumers (e.g., aware-sdk) can call the same CLI command by pointing --rules-root at their unpacked package data.
To trigger the regeneration workflow from automation, use the release-pipeline registry slug:
uv run --project tools/release-pipeline release-pipeline workflow trigger \
--workflow cli-rules-version \
--dry-run
You can also invoke rule regeneration directly via the pipeline helper:
```bash
uv run --project tools/release-pipeline release-pipeline rules render \
--rules-root docs/rules \
--manifest build/rule-manifest.json
The corresponding GitHub Actions workflow lives at `.github/workflows/cli-rules-version.yml` and uploads the refreshed manifest and rule directories as artefacts.
