Problem

create_tekton_files() and transform_tekton_files() both use the LAST_RELEASE_VERSION Tekton files as a template/fallback when creating new destination versions, but never removed the old template afterward. This left stale Tekton files (e.g. acm-50-*.yaml) accumulating on branches after new versions (5.1, 5.2, ...) were created or fast-forwarded along, e.g. main ending up with acm-50-, acm-51-, and acm-52- files instead of just acm-51- and acm-52-.

Fix

Added three shared helpers to ocm-ci-fastforward-multiple-commands.sh:

  • compare_versions — numeric major.minor comparison of two X.Y version strings
  • tekton_file_version_compare — compares a Tekton file's embedded version against a target version, preferring the semantic version found in the file content (release-X.Y / backplane-X.Y) since compact filename versions (e.g. "217" vs "50") don't sort correctly once a minor version reaches double digits (mirrors the existing get_highest_tekton_version approach). Falls back to comparing the compact filename version numerically when no semantic version can be extracted.
  • cleanup_stale_tekton_filesgit rms any Tekton file whose version is <= max_version, returns the removed count via stdout (logging goes to stderr so it doesn't pollute the captured count)

create_tekton_files(): after creating the requested destination versions, removes any remaining files <= LAST_RELEASE_VERSION.

transform_tekton_files(): after renaming the exact source version via git mv, sweeps up any remaining files <= LAST_RELEASE_VERSION — covering stragglers that rode along via fast-forward (e.g. a branch that fast-forwarded before the corresponding cleanup PR was merged).

Both functions' early-exit guards and commit/PR messages were updated to account for cleanup-only changes (no new files created, but stale files removed).

Testing

  • bash -n syntax check passes
  • shellcheck --severity=warning reports no new warnings
  • Manually unit-tested the three new helper functions in isolation against:
    • Same-magnitude version filenames (acm-40-, acm-50-, acm-51-) with semantic version content — correctly removes <= 5.0, keeps 5.1
    • The digit-width trap: acm-217- (2.17) vs target 5.0 — correctly recognized as older via semantic-version extraction (a naive "217" <= "50" integer/string compare would get this backwards)
    • Fallback path with no semantic version in file content — correctly falls back to compact filename int comparison
    • globalhub hyphenated version format (5-0) — correctly parsed and compared

Follow-up (not in this PR)

Protected-branch push handling (e.g. release-5.2 requiring PRs) currently causes a direct git push failure (GH006) in fastforward_repo(). Will be addressed in a separate PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Updates ocm-ci-fastforward-multiple to remove stale Tekton files at or below LAST_RELEASE_VERSION. The cleanup applies to new templates and files introduced during fast-forward transformations.

Adds helpers for numeric version comparison, semantic-version parsing, filename fallback handling, and stale-file removal with git rm.

Cleanup failures now abort creation or transformation. Logs, commit messages, pull request descriptions, and early-exit checks report cleanup-only changes correctly. Validation includes bash -n, ShellCheck, and manual version-parsing tests.

…ASE_VERSION

create_tekton_files() and transform_tekton_files() both use the
LAST_RELEASE_VERSION Tekton files as a template/fallback when creating
new versions, but never removed the old template afterward. This left
stale Tekton files (e.g. acm-50-*.yaml) accumulating on branches after
new versions (5.1, 5.2, ...) were created or fast-forwarded along.

Add three shared helpers:
- compare_versions: numeric major.minor comparison
- tekton_file_version_compare: compares a Tekton file's embedded
  version against a target, preferring the semantic version found in
  the file content (release-X.Y / backplane-X.Y) since compact
  filename versions (e.g. "217" vs "50") don't sort correctly once
  a minor version reaches double digits
- cleanup_stale_tekton_files: removes (git rm) any Tekton file whose
  version is <= a given max_version

create_tekton_files() now removes files <= LAST_RELEASE_VERSION after
creating the requested destination versions. transform_tekton_files()
now sweeps up any remaining files <= LAST_RELEASE_VERSION after
renaming the exact source version, covering stragglers that rode
along via fast-forward.

Both functions' early-exit guards and commit/PR messages were updated
to account for cleanup-only changes (no new files created, but stale
files removed).

Walkthrough

The fast-forward script now reports failed stale Tekton file removals. Tekton transformation and creation stop when cleanup fails. Successful removal counts remain part of no-op detection and change reporting.

Tekton transformation and creation parse cleanup failures and abort when stale-file removal fails. Successful cleanup counts remain in no-op detection and reporting.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a121c

When all requested versions already exist, the cleanup path can exit without removing older Tekton files, leaving stale repository contents despite reporting success. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed before merge.

Previously, cleanup_stale_tekton_files() would log a WARNING and
continue silently if `git rm` failed for a stale file, potentially
reporting cleanup as successful in commit messages and PR bodies even
though some files were left behind.

Now cleanup_stale_tekton_files() returns both the removed and failed
counts ("<removed> <failed>"), and both callers (transform_tekton_files
and create_tekton_files) abort with an error if any removal failed,
rather than silently proceeding.

Addresses CodeRabbit feedback on PR openshift#83828.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 2 included reviews per hour; 0 remain after this review.

1. Run stale-file cleanup even when all requested versions already
   exist (Moderate risk, flagged as blocking merge)

   create_tekton_files() had an early-exit guard that returned as soon
   as every requested destination version already existed on
   default_branch, only tidying up an obsolete PR branch. This
   skipped cleanup_stale_tekton_files() entirely, so files
   <= LAST_RELEASE_VERSION could persist indefinitely as long as no
   new destination version needed to be created.

   The per-version file-creation loop already no-ops correctly (via
   continue) for versions that already exist, and the "no new files"
   handling after cleanup already closes obsolete PRs/branches based
   on an actual diff against default_branch. Removing the redundant
   early-exit lets execution fall through to cleanup and the existing
   diff-based PR/branch handling, which is simpler and strictly more
   correct. The PR-closing courtesy message from the removed block was
   preserved by moving it into the diff-based "branch is identical to
   default" path, so it now also covers the case where an obsolete PR
   remains open with a stale branch.

2. Fix compact-filename version comparison in the no-embedded-version
   fallback path of tekton_file_version_compare()

   When a Tekton file has no embedded release-X.Y/backplane-X.Y
   reference, the function fell back to comparing compact filename
   versions (e.g. "217", "50") as plain concatenated integers. This
   misorders versions once a minor version reaches double digits: 217
   (2.17) > 50 (5.0) numerically, incorrectly treating 2.17 as newer
   than 5.0. Now the fallback parses major.minor out of the compact
   form (reusing the digit-count convention already used elsewhere in
   this script, and the hyphen-delimited globalhub form directly) and
   compares via the shared compare_versions helper.

   Also guard the semantic-version grep|head|cut pipeline with
   "|| true". This script only sets "set -uo pipefail" (no errexit),
   so a no-match grep exiting 1 does not currently terminate execution
   here, but the guard makes that explicit and keeps the code correct
   if errexit is ever added.
