gstack/bin/gstack-next-version

#!/usr/bin/env bun
// gstack-next-version — host-aware VERSION allocator for /ship.
//
// Queries the PR queue (GitHub or GitLab), fetches each open PR's VERSION,
// scans configurable Conductor sibling worktrees, picks the next free version
// slot at the requested bump level, and emits the whole picture as JSON.
//
// Contract: util NEVER writes files or mutates state. Pure reader + reporter.
// /ship consumes the JSON and decides what to do.
//
// Usage:
//   gstack-next-version --base <branch> --bump <major|minor|patch|micro> \
//     --current-version <X.Y.Z.W> [--workspace-root <path>|null] \
//     [--version-path <path>] [--json]
//
// VERSION path resolution (monorepo support):
//   1. --version-path <path> CLI flag (highest priority)
//   2. .gstack/version-path file at the repo root (single-line relative path,
//      committed so all collaborators benefit)
//   3. "VERSION" at the repo root (default, backward-compatible)
//
// The pinned path may be a package.json (any depth) rather than a plain-text
// VERSION file: a path ending in .json is read as JSON and its .version taken.
// 3-digit semver is accepted as well as 4-digit, and stays 3-digit through
// bumping. See lib/version-source.ts for why both mattered — each used to fail
// closed, which silently disabled the queue-collision check this CLI exists to
// provide (#2501).
//
// Exit codes:
//   0 — emitted JSON successfully (may include "offline":true or "host":"unknown")
//   2 — invalid arguments
//   3 — util bug (unexpected exception)

// failed during a ship, this util reported offline, the bump fell back to
// local arithmetic, and 0.1.57.0 was allocated to a second PR while an open
// one already claimed it — both merged, and main carries two commits reading
// v0.1.57.0. Auditing that repo's history found FOUR such pairs going back
// three weeks, so the silent fallback had been mis-allocating for a while.
//
// Git already knows what the API was asked for. `git ls-remote --heads origin`
// returns the remote's LIVE branch list with zero local mutation (no fetch, no
// ref updates), each branch's VERSION file is readable from the local object
// store, and the base's own history records every version already shipped.
