$GITHUB_OUTPUT heredoc blocks used literal 'EOF' as delimiter, which
breaks parsing if generated release notes contain 'EOF' on its own line.
Replace static 'EOF' with openssl rand -hex 16 random delimiter in
both the version-warning and release-notes output blocks.
Impact: Release workflow no longer fails when commit message bodies
contain 'EOF'.
homeassistant==2026.3.4 requires Python>=3.14.2. The lint workflow was
specifying Python 3.13, and uv venv was ignoring actions/setup-python and
picking up the system Python (3.14.0) instead.
Changes:
- lint.yml: python-version 3.13 → 3.14
- bootstrap: uv venv now uses $(which python) to respect
actions/setup-python and local pyenv/asdf setups
Impact: lint workflow no longer fails with Python version unsatisfiable
dependency error when installing homeassistant.
Release workflow now automatically deletes tags when version number doesn't
match commit types (e.g., PATCH bump when MINOR needed for features).
Changes:
- New step 'Delete inappropriate version tag' runs after version_check
- Automatically deletes tag and exits with error if version inappropriate
- All subsequent steps conditional on successful version validation
- Improved warning message: removed confusing 'X.Y.Z' placeholder
- Added notice: 'This tag will be automatically deleted in the next step'
- Removed redundant 'Version Check Summary' step
Impact: Users get immediate, clear feedback when pushing wrong version tags.
Workflow fails fast with actionable error message instead of creating release
with embedded warning. No manual tag deletion needed.
Major restructuring of the scripts/ directory with consistent output
formatting, improved organization, and stricter error handling.
Breaking Changes:
- Updated development environment to Home Assistant 2025.7+
- Removed Python 3.12 compatibility (HA 2025.7+ requires Python 3.13)
- Updated all HA core requirements from 2025.7 requirement files
- Added new dependencies: python-multipart, uv (for faster package management)
- Updated GitHub Actions workflows to use Python 3.13
Changes:
- Created centralized output library (scripts/.lib/output.sh)
- Unified color codes and Unicode symbols
- Consistent formatting functions (log_header, log_success, log_error, etc.)
- Support for embedded formatting codes (${BOLD}, ${GREEN}, etc.)
- Reorganized into logical subdirectories:
- scripts/setup/ - Setup and maintenance scripts
- bootstrap: Install/update dependencies (used in CI/CD)
- setup: Full DevContainer setup (pyright, copilot, HACS)
- reset: Reset config/ directory to fresh state (NEW)
- sync-hacs: Sync HACS integrations
- scripts/release/ - Release management scripts
- prepare: Version bump and tagging
- suggest-version: Semantic version suggestion
- generate-notes: Release notes generation
- check-if-released: Check release status
- hassfest: Local integration validation
- Updated all scripts with:
- set -euo pipefail for stricter error handling
- Consistent SCRIPT_DIR pattern for reliable sourcing
- Professional output with colors and emojis
- Unified styling across all 17 scripts
- Removed redundant scripts:
- scripts/update (was just wrapper around bootstrap)
- scripts/json_schemas/ (moved to schemas/json/)
- Enhanced clean script:
- Improved artifact cleanup
- Better handling of accidental package installations
- Hints for reset and deep clean options
- New reset script features:
- Standard mode: Keep configuration.yaml
- Full mode (--full): Reset configuration.yaml from git
- Automatic re-setup after reset
- Updated documentation:
- AGENTS.md: Updated script references and workflow guidance
- docs/development/: Updated all references to new script structure
Impact: Development environment now requires Python 3.13 and Home Assistant
2025.7+. Developers get consistent, professional script output with better
error handling and logical organization. Single source of truth for styling
makes future updates trivial.
HACS automatically displays the version number before release titles,
causing duplication when version tags are included in the title.
Changes:
- scripts/generate-release-notes: All backends now generate intelligent
titles without version prefix (git-cliff, manual, and copilot)
- scripts/generate-release-notes: Added smart title generation based on
commit analysis (feat/fix counts) for git-cliff and manual backends
- scripts/generate-release-notes: Unified section headers to use ### (H3)
instead of ## (H2) for consistency across all backends
- scripts/generate-release-notes: Auto-update feature now uses extracted
title without prepending version tag
- .github/workflows/release.yml: Extract title directly from generated
release notes (first line with "# ") instead of manual construction
- .github/workflows/release.yml: Removed redundant "Generate release title"
step
Before (HACS): v0.9.0: v0.9.0 - New Features
After (HACS): v0.9.0: Multi-Home Support & Diagnostic Sensors
Impact: Release titles in HACS are now cleaner with single version display
and more descriptive titles generated intelligently from commit content.
All three backends (copilot, git-cliff, manual) produce consistent output
with H1 title followed by H3 sections.
Major improvements to release note generation system:
**AI Model Optimization:**
- Switch from Claude Sonnet 4.5 to Haiku 4.5 (67% cheaper, 50% faster)
- Cost reduced from 1.0 to 0.33 Premium requests per generation
- Generation time reduced from ~30s to ~15s
- Quality maintained through improved prompt engineering
**Improved Prompt Structure:**
- Restructured prompt: instructions first, commit data last
- Added explicit user-feature prioritization rules (sensors > config > developer tools)
- Integrated file change statistics with each commit
- Added file path guidance (custom_components/ = HIGH, scripts/ = LOW)
- Added 3-step decision process with walkthrough example
- Added explicit output constraints to prevent meta-commentary
**Auto-Update Feature:**
- Consolidated improve-release-notes functionality into generate-release-notes
- Automatic detection of existing GitHub releases
- Interactive prompt to update both title and body
- Shows comparison: current title vs. new AI-generated title
**File Statistics Integration:**
- Added --stat --compact-summary to git log
- Shows which files changed in each commit with line counts
- Helps AI quantitatively assess change importance (100+ lines = significant)
- Enables better prioritization of user-facing features
**Testing Results:**
- Generated title: "Price Volatility Analysis & Configuration" (user-focused!)
- Successfully prioritizes user features over developer/CI changes
- No more generic "New Features & Bug Fixes" titles
- Thematic titles that capture main release highlights
Impact: Release note generation is now faster, cheaper, and produces
higher-quality user-focused titles. Single consolidated script handles
both generation and updating existing releases.
Release titles now automatically reflect the type of changes:
- 'vX.Y.Z - New Features & Bug Fixes' (both present)
- 'vX.Y.Z - New Features' (only features)
- 'vX.Y.Z - Bug Fixes' (only fixes)
- 'vX.Y.Z' (fallback for other changes)
Determined by analyzing commit messages between previous tag and current tag.
Impact: Release titles are more descriptive and immediately show what
changed, making it easier for users to understand the release at a glance.
Added concurrency groups with cancel-in-progress to validate.yml, lint.yml,
and auto-tag.yml workflows.
This ensures that when multiple commits are pushed quickly:
- Only the latest validation/lint run continues
- Older runs are automatically cancelled
- Saves CI minutes and provides faster feedback
Release workflow intentionally excluded (each tag is unique).
Impact: More efficient CI usage, faster feedback on rapid commits.
