create-release.yml

name: Create new release

# Manually-triggered workflow that prepares a new Invidious release by running
# scripts/create-release.py. All the logic lives in that script (which can also
# be run by hand); this workflow only provides checkout, Python and secrets.
#
# The script computes the version, collects every merged PR since the last
# release, generates the changelog prose via an OpenAI-compatible API (any
# endpoint via OPENAI_BASE_URL; OpenRouter by default), bumps shard.yml +
# CHANGELOG.md, and opens a release PR. Tagging and publishing stay manual, as
# the release documentation requires maintainer review.
