Purpose

Turns the hotfix workflow (#135) into a general maintenance release workflow so it can publish a regular patch release from a maintenance branch, e.g. 1.0.9 from 1.0.x. The current release-hotfix.yml only accepts prerelease versions such as 1.0.3-hotfix.1, so it can't do this.

Approach

Renames release-hotfix.yml to release-maintenance.yml (🛠️ Maintenance Release) and changes it as follows:

• Versions: accepts both release versions (1.0.9) and prereleases (1.0.3-hotfix.1). For each selected SDK, the run stops if the version isn't later than that SDK's current version on the branch, or if it leaves the branch's major.minor line. That catches mistakes like 1.4.1 on 1.0.x. Hotfix-style prereleases on top of a released version (1.0.3 → 1.0.3-hotfix.1) are still allowed.
• dist-tag: defaults to release-<major>.<minor> (e.g. release-1.0), so each maintenance line moves its own tag. latest is still rejected, so npm install @thunderid/<pkg> keeps resolving to the mainline release.
• GitHub Releases: each release's notes start from that package's previous version tag (e.g. sdk/react/v1.0.8, sdk/browser/v1.0.7). A release is marked as a prerelease only for prerelease versions, and is never marked latest.
• Build only: the workflow runs build without typecheck, matching release.yml. The nuxt typecheck can't run on 1.0.x because its script calls vue-tsc, which isn't a dependency there. That failure also stopped the earlier 1.0.3-hotfix release attempt before anything was published.
• Unchanged: internal workspace:^ dependencies are still pinned to exact versions at publish time. This matters more for release versions: ^1.0.9 also matches 1.4.x, so without the pin react 1.0.9 could resolve browser 1.4.x.

Before the first run:

• If npm trusted publishing (OIDC) is enforced for these packages and token publishing is turned off, release-maintenance.yml has to be registered as a trusted publisher, because the file name changed.
• [1.0.x] Handle malformed Unicode in generated avatars #137 (unicode fix and dependency fixes for 1.0.x) should be merged into 1.0.x before releasing 1.0.9.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added a maintenance release workflow that supports stable patch versions and prereleases.
  • Maintenance releases default to a version-specific npm distribution tag, with validation to prevent unsupported tags and version changes outside the package’s current major/minor line.
  • Release notes can start from the package’s previous version when available, and releases are marked as prereleases when the requested version is a prerelease.

Walkthrough

The maintenance release workflow now accepts stable patch and prerelease versions. It resolves an omitted npm dist-tag, validates version progression for selected packages, builds and publishes them, and creates GitHub Releases using package-specific previous versions when available.

Changes: Maintenance release workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workflow inputs and labels .github/workflows/release-maintenance.yml	The workflow uses maintenance release names and an optional dist-tag input. Its concurrency group and release job labels also use maintenance release terminology.
Version validation and package tracking .github/workflows/release-maintenance.yml	The workflow accepts stable patch or prerelease versions, resolves and validates the dist-tag, and checks that each selected package advances within the same major/minor line. It records each package’s previous version.
Build, publish, and create releases .github/workflows/release-maintenance.yml	The workflow runs the build task, publishes packages with the resolved dist-tag, and creates GitHub Releases using each package’s previous-version tag when available. Releases are marked prerelease when the requested version contains a hyphen.
