Research direction

The issue identifies the TagBot workflow as the entry point and reports that release v1.0.0 at commit d2fd02c3 needs manual creation. Start by checking the linked Actions run logs and the TagBot workflow permissions; the issue points to missing contents: write as the likely cause. Done means creating the release with generated notes and updating the workflow permissions to prevent the same failure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

TagBot could not automatically create releases for the following versions.

Likely cause(s):

  • The GITHUB_TOKEN lacks contents: write permission to push tags

Versions needing manual release

  • v1.0.0 at commit d2fd02c3

How to fix

Run these commands locally:

gh release create v1.0.0 --generate-notes

Or create releases manually via the GitHub UI.

Prevent this in the future

  • Add permissions: contents: write to your TagBot workflow, or use a PAT/deploy key
