Description

Added automated milestone closure to both the main release and pre-release workflows. When a release is published, the new close-milestone job derives the milestone title in v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.0 format, queries the GitHub Milestones API for a matching open milestone, and closes it. If no matching milestone exists, the job logs an informational message and exits gracefully without failing the pipeline.

Type of Change

Select all that apply:

Code & Documentation:

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change fixing an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change adding functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature causing existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update

Infrastructure & Configuration:

  • GitHub Actions workflow
  • Linting configuration (markdown, PowerShell, etc.)
  • Security configuration
  • DevContainer configuration
  • Dependency update

AI Artifacts:

  • Reviewed contribution with prompt-builder agent and addressed all feedback
  • Copilot instructions (.github/instructions/*.instructions.md)
  • Copilot prompt (.github/prompts/*.prompt.md)
  • Copilot agent (.github/agents/*.agent.md)
  • Copilot skill (.github/skills/*/SKILL.md)

Other:

  • Script/automation (.ps1, .sh, .py)
  • Other (please describe):

Testing

  • Verified both workflow files parse correctly with actionlint (no structural errors).
  • Confirmed the close-milestone job gates execute only after the release step succeeds (needs: [release-please] in main.yml, needs: [prerelease-tag] in prerelease-release.yml).
  • Confirmed graceful skip behavior when no matching milestone exists (the if guard on the gh api PATCH step prevents errors).

Checklist

Required Checks

  • Documentation is updated (if applicable)
  • Files follow existing naming conventions
  • Changes are backwards compatible (if applicable)
  • Tests added for new functionality (if applicable)

Required Automated Checks

The following validation commands must pass before merging:

  • Markdown linting: npm run lint:md
  • Spell checking: npm run spell-check
  • Frontmatter validation: npm run lint:frontmatter
  • Skill structure validation: npm run validate:skills
  • Link validation: npm run lint:md-links
  • PowerShell analysis: npm run lint:ps
  • Plugin freshness: npm run plugin:generate

Security Considerations

  • This PR does not contain any sensitive or NDA information
  • Any new dependencies have been reviewed for security issues
  • Security-related scripts follow the principle of least privilege

Both jobs use issues: write permission at job scope (least privilege) and authenticate via the built-in github.token — no external actions or secrets were introduced.

Additional Notes

  • The milestone title convention assumes v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.0 format. If milestone naming conventions change, the shell script logic in both workflows would need to be updated accordingly.
  • The shell logic is intentionally duplicated across both workflows for clarity and independence, rather than extracted into a shared action.

…ublishes

- add close-milestone job to main.yml after release-please
- add close-milestone job to prerelease-release.yml after prerelease-tag
- use GITHUB_TOKEN with job-level issues:write permission
- graceful no-op when milestone does not exist or is already closed
