Project Overview

QBit Release Notes: customer-facing release notes for every release of a QQQ app. Detects a new version once across pods, drafts notes from GitHub releases/PRs and platform upgrades (rule-based, no LLM), waits for admin approval by default, publishes one RELEASE notification through QAlerts.notify, and serves What's new through the release-notes UI API extension. Design: docs/SPEC.md.

Build Commands

./mvnw compile          # Compile (always use the wrapper)
./mvnw test             # Unit tests (H2)
./mvnw verify           # Tests + checkstyle + JaCoCo gate (70% instructions, 90% classes)
./mvnw -Dtest=ReleaseNotesMetaDataTest -Dreleasenotes.openapi.update=true test   # regenerate the committed OpenAPI

Architecture

• Entry point: ReleaseNotesQBitProducer implements QBitMetaDataProducer<ReleaseNotesQBitConfig>.
• ReleaseNotesRuntime (supplemental instance metadata): config, drafter, clock, detectInBackground().
• ReleaseNotesService: detect (unique insert), draft, problems, publish, skip, What's new.
• sources/: ReleaseSource SPI, GitHubReleaseSource, ComponentVersionsSource.
• drafting/: ReleaseNotesDrafter SPI, RuleBasedDrafter, ReleaseNotesSanitizer.
• processes/: Publish / Skip / Redraft record actions (standard ETL), Check for new release.
• api/: UI API extension specs and versioned schemas.

Invariants

• Internal fields (source refs, titles, commit, source log, component versions) never leave the admin tables or appear in the UI API.
• Nothing an automated drafter wrote is published unless settings say AUTO_PUBLISH; the sanitizer gates every publish.
• No secrets in metadata: GitHub tokens are read from the environment at call time.
• DB changes only in the Liquibase changelog; the only foreign key is item -> release.

Naming (owner rule)

• Tables are lowercase snake_case prefixed release_notes_; backend name equals the table name.
• Permissions: release_notes.manage, release_notes.publish.
• Processes run as table or record actions, never in the nav.

Code Style

• 3-space indentation, opening braces on the next line, return (x);.
• Flower-box comments on every class and method.
• Fluent setters (withX()), wrapper types in config and entities.

Dependencies

• Java 21; parent com.kingsrook:qbit-build-parent:2.1.1 with guardrails; the default-active qqq-snapshot profile imports qqq-bom-pom:4.1.0-RC.13.
• Tests: JUnit 5, AssertJ, H2, Liquibase.

Release

• CircleCI qqq-orb; develop publishes SNAPSHOTs; a release/* branch publishes RCs (merge a develop PR labelled release:rc); a v* tag publishes the release.
