…orker (#493) Backports #492 so 8.1.x patch releases use the same releaseworker-owned "Update main" flow as main. This is an unchanged cherry-pick: remove the old finalize PR creation and exclude update-main branches from promote steps. Requires sourcegraph/sourcegraph#17347 to be deployed before the next release. Companion backports are deploy-sourcegraph-helm#974 and the deploy-sourcegraph-docker backport of #1443.

…497) The v8.1.1335 promotion ran finalize twice in this repo, and the build the release worker monitors lost: | Build | Commit | Started by | Promote finalize | |---|---|---|---| | [#1197](https://buildkite.com/sourcegraph/deploy-sourcegraph-k8s/builds/1197) | `e84e57b` "release: v8.1.1335" (internal config commit) | creating `promote/release-v8.1.1335` | **passed** at 07:09: tagged the promote branch head `6a0aebb`, pushed `release-v8.1.1335`, promoted on the release registry | | [#1201](https://buildkite.com/sourcegraph/deploy-sourcegraph-k8s/builds/1201) | `6a0aebb` "promote-release: v8.1.1335" | push | **failed** 4×: `fatal: tag 'v8.1.1335' already exists` | Creating the promote branch from the internal branch builds the internal config commit, and `--config-from-commit` accepts its config, so that build runs the promote jobs too. Its finalize tags whatever the promote branch head is when it gets there. Build #1201 is the one the release worker monitors, so the promote workflow failed and never closed the release PRs or opened the "Update main" PR. Those were done by hand: #494 and #495 are closed, and #496 is the "Update main" PR. Helm failed the same way (sourcegraph/deploy-sourcegraph-helm#979). Docker avoided it only because the extra build was cancelled by a newer push. This is the same change as sourcegraph/deploy-sourcegraph-helm#979 and sourcegraph/deploy-sourcegraph-docker#1449: - **Promote jobs run only for the promote config commit.** `(promote) Release: test` and `finalize` now also require `build.message =~ /^promote-release:/`. Both the release worker and this repo's `release.yaml` manual flow write that message. - **`git:tag` is retry-safe.** If `vX` already points at the promote branch head, it skips creating the tag and continues. If it points anywhere else, it fails. The release registry's promote endpoint already treats re-promoting as a no-op (200), so a retried finalize now succeeds end to end. ## How this was tested - **Job conditions.** I checked the old and new conditions against this repo's real v8.1.1335 promote-branch commits. Before, every commit ran the promote jobs. After, only `6a0aebb` "promote-release: v8.1.1335" runs them; `e84e57b` "release: v8.1.1335" (build #1197) and the three image-update commits skip them. This PR's Buildkite build validates that the pipeline, with its new conditionals, uploads. - **`git:tag`.** I extracted the step from this repo's `release.yaml`, stubbed `gh` and `buildkite-agent`, and ran it in fresh clones against a scratch bare remote: - **First finalize:** exits 0; the tag and `release-vX` are on the promote head. - **Retry or duplicate:** exits 0 with "already points at … not recreating it". - **Tag on another commit:** exits 1 with a message naming both commits. - **Control:** `main`'s step on the retry case exits 128 with `fatal: tag 'v9.9.9' already exists`. ## Rollout Buildkite reads `pipeline.yaml` and `release.yaml` from the commit it builds, so patch releases need this on their `X.Y.x` branch. It's labelled `backport 8.1.x`; both files are identical on `8.1.x`, so the backport applies cleanly.
