🟡 Changes recommended
The reusable workflow’s tag source and tag-moving logic have correctness/robustness gaps that can prevent reliably retagging the intended clean commit.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.
Pull request overview
This PR adjusts the release GitHub Actions workflows so that GitHub Releases/tags are intended to reference a commit where pom.xml has already been updated to the final (non--SNAPSHOT) release version, avoiding tags that point at pre-update commits.
Changes:
- Normalize tag parsing to support temporary
-tmptags when resolving the release branch. - In the reusable release workflow, parse a “final” version/tag, commit the release version to the target branch, then create/update the final tag and repoint the GitHub Release to it (and delete the temporary tag).
File summaries
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| .github/workflows/release.yml | Strips -tmp from tag-derived version for v5 branch resolution logic. |
| .github/workflows/release-project-in-dir.yml | Adds permissions and new steps to commit the release version, retag, and update the GitHub Release/tag mapping. |

I belive we don't need the -tmp suffix, we can create the tag like v5.6.0 and than override that tag. That would be more straightforward during the release so we don't have to remember special naming convention.
git tag -f -a "${RAW_TAG}" -m "Release ${RAW_TAG}"
git push -f origin "refs/tags/${RAW_TAG}"

If we don't have the -temp suffix, we don't have to check this, we simply override the tag as mentioned before, then we don;t have to edit the release, since release just point to a ref name on GitHub

RAW_TAGis passed through unchanged asrelease_tag. If releases are created from temporary tags (e.g.v1.2.3-tmpas mentioned in the PR description), downstream steps will treat the temp tag as the final release tag and deriveRELEASE_VERSIONas1.2.3-tmp. That would produce an incorrect Maven release version and final tag name. Consider normalizing the tag in this workflow (e.g., compute aFINAL_TAGby stripping the-tmpsuffix) and pass the normalized value to the reusable workflow, while optionally passing the original temp tag separately for cleanup.

🔵 Needs a closer look
The workflows as written don’t fully implement the PR-described temporary-tag (-tmp) flow and can propagate a temporary tag value into Maven versioning/tagging, leading to incorrect release version/tag behavior.

.github/workflows/release.yml:66
release_tagis passed through as the raw GitHub release tag. If releases are created from temporary tags (e.g.vX.Y.Z-tmpas described in the PR), the downstream workflow will set Maven versions and create/force-push a tag using the-tmpvalue, producing the wrong published version/tag. Consider normalizing the tag here (e.g. strip a trailing-tmp) before exposing it as an output.

- The PR description says the workflow deletes a temporary
-tmptag and updates the GitHub Release to point at the final tag/commit. This workflow currently only force-updates whatever tag name is provided ininputs.release_tag; it does not rename/edit the GitHub Release or delete any temporary tag. Either implement the described release/tag migration flow (likely requiring passing both raw and normalized tag values) or update the PR description to match the actual behavior.

The implemented workflows don’t match the PR description around “-tmp” tag normalization/final-tag behavior, leaving the intended temporary-tag flow ambiguous/incomplete.

- This workflow currently force-updates whatever tag name is provided in inputs.release_tag, but it doesn’t create a separate final tag, update the GitHub Release to point to it, or delete a temporary "-tmp" tag as described in the PR description. If the intended flow is "temporary tag triggers workflow, final tag becomes the release", the implementation appears incomplete here.
run: |
git tag -f -a "${RELEASE_TAG}" -m "Release ${RELEASE_TAG}"
git push -f origin "refs/tags/${RELEASE_TAG}"
.github/workflows/release.yml:106
- PR description mentions stripping a "-tmp" suffix from temporary release tags before passing them through, but this step currently forwards the raw tag unchanged. If temporary tags (e.g. "vX.Y.Z-tmp") are used, downstream jobs will treat that as the release identifier/version instead of the final tag described in the PR text.

Hi @csviri, I've just double-checked the live file via "View file" (not the diff) and confirmed all actions/checkout and actions/setup-java steps are on @v4, and github-push-action is pinned to the SHA — no v7/v6/@master remain anywhere in the current commit. Could you please re-review against the latest commit? Let me know if you're still seeing something different on your end. |
Fixes #2304
