✅ Uses modern actions - ✅ Uses `uv sync --dev` (not `uv pip install`) - ✅ Uses `uv build` (not `python -m build`) - ✅ Security scans never block with `continue-on-error` - ✅ Final step always succeeds - ✅ Quality gate allows warnings but blocks critical failures --- ## 📦 Release Workflow (`release.yml`) ### Complete Working Configuration ```yaml name: Release on: push: tags: ['v*'] workflow_dispatch: env: PYTHON_VERSION: "3.12" jobs: release: name: Create Release runs-on: ubuntu-latest permissions: contents: write packages: write id-token: write steps: -

✅ Uses `softprops/action-gh-release@v1` (not deprecated actions) - ✅ Single action for release + assets - ✅ Automatic changelog generation - ✅ PyPI publishing only for stable releases - ✅ Proper permissions configuration --- ## 🔐 Security Scanning (`security-scan.yml`) ### Complete Working Configuration ```yaml name: Security Scan on: schedule: - cron: '0 3 * * 0' # Weekly on Sunday push: branches: [ main, master ] pull_request: branches: [ main, master ] workflow_dispatch: jobs: security-scan: name: Security Vulnerability Scan runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: -

name: Run Bandit run: uv run bandit -r src/ -f json -o bandit-results.json || echo "Scan completed" continue-on-error: true - name: Run Safety run: uv run safety scan --output json --save-as safety-results.json || echo "Scan completed" continue-on-error: true - name: Run Semgrep (Optional) if: env.SEMGREP_APP_TOKEN != '' uses: returntocorp/semgrep-action@v1 with: config: >- p/security-audit p/secrets p/owasp-top-ten env: SEMGREP_APP_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SEMGREP_APP_TOKEN }} continue-on-error: true - name: Upload security reports uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4 if: always() with: name: security-reports path: | bandit-results.json safety-results.json trivy-results.sarif codeql: name: CodeQL Analysis runs-on: ubuntu-latest permissions: actions: read contents: read security-events: write steps: -

Prevents workflow failure on security findings - Reports are still generated and uploaded 2. **Uses modern `safety scan` command** - Not deprecated `safety check` - Syntax: `--output json --save-as filename.json` 3. **Semgrep is optional** - Only runs if `SEMGREP_APP_TOKEN` secret exists - Workflow succeeds without it 4. **Always uploads reports** - Uses `if: always()` on upload step - Reports available even if scans fail --- ## 🚀 Release Workflow (`release.yml`) ### Modern, Working Release Automation ```yaml name: Release on: push: tags: ['v*'] workflow_dispatch: inputs: version: description: 'Version to release (e.g., v1.0.0)' required: true env: PYTHON_VERSION: "3.12" jobs: release: name: Create Release runs-on: ubuntu-latest permissions: contents: write packages: write id-token: write steps: -

Not deprecated `actions/create-release@v1` - Single action handles everything 2. **Simple asset upload with `files:`** - Not complex `upload-release-asset` steps - Supports glob patterns 3. **PyPI only for stable releases** - Beta/RC releases → GitHub only - Stable releases → GitHub + PyPI 4. **Automatic changelog generation** - Based on git log since last tag - Included in release notes --- ## ⚙️ Customization Guide ### Adapt for Your Project: 1. **Update project name**: - Replace `your-project` with your project name - Replace `your-org/your-repo` with your GitHub path 2. **Update Python versions**: ```yaml python-version: ["3.10", "3.11", "3.12"] # Your supported versions ``` 3. **Update test command**: ```yaml run: uv run pytest --cov=src/your_package ... ``` 4. **Update MCPB path** (if applicable): ```yaml cd mcpb # Or wherever your mcpb manifest is mcpb pack . ../dist/your-project.mcpb ``` 5. **Add repository secrets**: - `PYPI_API_TOKEN` (for PyPI publishing) - `SEMGREP_APP_TOKEN` (optional, for Semgrep) --- ## 🎯 Testing Workflows Locally ### Before Pushing: ```bash # 1. Test linting uv run ruff check . --fix uv run ruff format --check . # 2. Test type checking uv run pyright # 3. Test security uv run bandit -r src/ -lll uv run safety scan # 4. Test build uv build uv run twine check dist/* # 5. Test full suite uv run pytest -v ``` If all pass locally, CI should pass too! --- ## 📊 Workflow Status Badges Add to your README.md: ```markdown [](https://github.com/your-org/your-repo/actions) [](https://github.com/your-org/your-repo/actions) [](https://github.com/your-org/your-repo/actions) ``` --- ## 🔗 Next Steps 1. Copy these workflows to your `.github/workflows/` directory 2. Update project-specific values 3. Ensure `pyproject.toml` has all dev-dependencies 4. Test locally before pushing 5. Push and watch GitHub Actions succeed! --- **Time Investment**: - Setup: ~30 minutes - Testing: ~15 minutes - **Total**: ~45 minutes **vs** debugging from scratch: 6+ hours! 🎉 --- See also: - [Complete Type Fix Guide](./COMPLETE_TYPE_FIX_GUIDE.md) - [Security Hardening](./SECURITY_HARDENING.md) - [Dependency Management](./DEPENDENCY_MANAGEMENT.md)
