## 🛠️ Technical Details

### PR Validation Workflow (`pr-validation.yml`)

**Trigger:**
```yaml
on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
```

**Jobs:**
1. Checkout code
2. Setup Rust toolchain (stable, with rustfmt & clippy)
3. Cache cargo (registry, index, build)
4. Run checks:
   - `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
   - `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings`
   - `cargo test --all-features`
   - `cargo build --release`

### Auto Release Workflow (`release.yml`)

**Trigger:**
```yaml
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
```

**Permissions:**
```yaml
permissions:
  contents: write  # Required for commits, tags, releases
```

**Anti-Loop Protection:**
```yaml
if: github.actor != 'github-actions[bot]'
```

**Version Bump Logic:**
```bash
# Read: version = "2.1.0" from Cargo.toml
CURRENT=$(grep '^version = ' Cargo.toml | sed ...)

# Parse: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
IFS='.' read -r MAJOR MINOR PATCH <<< "$CURRENT"

# Increment: 2.1.0 → 2.1.1
NEW_PATCH=$((PATCH + 1))
NEW_VERSION="${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${NEW_PATCH}"

# Update Cargo.toml
sed -i 's/^version = ".*"/version = "'$NEW_VERSION'"/' Cargo.toml

# Update lockfile
cargo update --workspace

# Commit
git add Cargo.toml Cargo.lock
git commit -m "chore: bump version to $NEW_VERSION [skip ci]"
git push origin main

# Tag
git tag "v$NEW_VERSION"
git push origin "v$NEW_VERSION"
```

**Release Creation:**
```yaml
uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
with:
  tag_name: v${{ steps.new_version.outputs.version }}
  name: Release v${{ steps.new_version.outputs.version }}
  generate_release_notes: true
```

## 📊 Impact Analysis

### Before (Gitflow)

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| **Branches** | `main`, `develop`, `release/*`, `hotfix/*`, `feature/*` |
| **PRs per release** | 3-5 (feature → develop, develop → release, release → main) |
| **Manual steps** | Version bump, tag, release notes |
| **Time to release** | ~30-60 min (manual) |
| **Workflows** | 5 YAML files |

### After (Trunk-Based)

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| **Branches** | `main`, `feat/*`, `fix/*` |
| **PRs per release** | 1 (feature → main) |
| **Manual steps** | 0 (fully automated) |
| **Time to release** | ~2-3 min (automated) |
| **Workflows** | 2 YAML files (+ 1 docs) |

**Result:** 🚀 **~20x faster releases**, **60% fewer PRs**, **100% automation**

## ❗ Breaking Changes

### For Developers

1. **No more `develop` branch** — All PRs now target `main`
2. **Auto version bumps** — Cargo.toml updated on every merge
3. **Auto releases** — GitHub releases created automatically

### For CI/CD

1. **Old workflows disabled** — 4 YAML files removed
2. **New permissions** — `contents: write` required for release bot

## 👥 Team Action Items

### Immediate (After Merge)

1. **Delete old branches:**
   ```bash
   git push origin --delete develop
   git fetch --prune
   ```

   ```bash
   git checkout main
   git pull
   git branch -D develop
   ```

3. **Read migration guide:**
   - `MIGRATION_GUIDE.md`
   - `.github/workflows/README.md`

### Ongoing

- All PRs now go to `main`

## 📞 Support & Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Q: Release workflow not triggering?**  
A: Check if commit message contains `[skip ci]` or if actor is `github-actions[bot]`

**Q: Version bump failed?**  
A: Ensure Cargo.toml has `version = "X.Y.Z"` format on a single line

**Q: Permission denied on release?**  
A: Verify `permissions: contents: write` in workflow YAML

**Q: Want minor/major bump instead of patch?**  
A: Manually edit `Cargo.toml` version before opening PR
