• running from a fork or repo outside the go-openapi organization

  • allowed to run workflow with or without PGP sign-off (commits, tags)
  • allowed to run from a fork outside the go-openapi org (must configure bot-go-openapi github app and permissions)
  • fixed secret transmission to cover these use cases

• gh-actions: fixed svu usage. Updated gh-actions, so that svu doesn't fail on mono-repo prefixed tags

• fixed release notes

  • ensured git checkout is un-shallowed

  • git-cliff config (also applies to regular releases, not just mono-repo)

    • fixed commit categorization in release notes
    • merge commits grouped as "Other" instead of skipped (consistent count)
    • fix (category "Documentation"): regex overlap causing garbled group headings
    • fix (category "Misc."): added \bCI\b pattern to catch mid-message CI references
    • fix (category "Refactor"): refact rule has precedence over chore
    • polish cliff config categorization and contributor lists (keep all commits, but exclude bots from contributors)

  • release notes construction

    • suppressed tag annotation in module-specific sections
    • fixed wrong module commit scope: module sections use root tag pattern with path filtering
    • --exclude-path which was using absolute paths now uses relative paths with /** globs.
    • skip root module in Part 2 (already covered by full changelog) - was producing redundant sections.
    • derived module include-path from filesystem, not module names (the module name stripping used GITHUB_REPO to strip the prefix from go module paths, but this fails on forks where the repo name differs from the module path.
    • passed --tag to module git-cliff calls to resolve version header. When --include-path filters the commit graph, tag commits that don't touch the module's files are excluded. This prevents git-cliff from resolving the version, resulting in "unreleased" headers.
    • fix: tag message title/body separation for markdown rendering
    • style: polish monorepo release notes markdown presentation (orphaned line separators, modules with no commits, stripped module version header).
