HTTP Client Python Bump and Release

Create a PR to bump dependencies and release a new version of the http-client-python package.

Note: {REPO} refers to the root folder of the microsoft/typespec repository.

Prerequisites

Before starting, verify that npm-check-updates is available:

npx npm-check-updates --version

If the command fails or prompts for installation, install it globally:

npm install -g npm-check-updates

Workflow

1. Navigate to the package directory:

   cd {REPO}/packages/http-client-python
   

2. Reset and sync with main:

   git reset HEAD && git checkout . && git checkout origin/main && git pull origin main
   

3. Create release branch (use current date in MM-DD format):

   git checkout -b publish/python-release-{MM-DD}
   

4. Update dependencies:

   npx npm-check-updates -u --filter @typespec/*,@azure-tools/* --packageFile package.json
   

5. Update peerDependencies in package.json:

   • If format is ">=0.a.b <1.0.0": Update only the 0.a.b portion, keep the range format unchanged
   • If format is "^1.a.b": Update to the latest version

6. Verify devDependencies versions for specs:

   • Check @typespec/http-specs and @azure-tools/azure-http-specs
   • If the original version in package.json is newer than the updated value, keep the original version
   • Dev versions are typically in the form x.y.z-alpha.N-dev.M (e.g., 0.1.0-alpha.37-dev.3).

   Example:

   • Original: @typespec/http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5, updated by step 4 to 0.1.0-alpha.11 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5.
   • Original: @typespec/http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5, updated by step 4 to 0.1.0-alpha.12 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12 (step 4 works as expected).
   • Original: @azure-tools/azure-http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2, updated to 0.1.0-alpha.11 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2.
   • Original: @azure-tools/azure-http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2, updated to 0.1.0-alpha.12 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12 (step 4 works as expected).

7. Run version change script:

   npm run change:version
   

   Verify that the script updated both the emitter version in package.json and CHANGELOG.md. If neither file was updated:

   • Increment the third component of the emitter version in package.json (for example, a.b.c to a.b.(c+1)).

   • Add this entry near the top of CHANGELOG.md, immediately after the changelog title:

     ## <new emitter version>
     
     ### Bump dependencies
     
     - Bump dependencies of `@typespec/*` and `@azure-tools/*` to latest versions
     

   • Verify that the version in package.json matches the new CHANGELOG.md heading.

8. Build and commit:

   npm install && npm run build && git add -u && git commit -m "bump version"
   

9. Push and create PR:

   cd {REPO}
   git push origin HEAD
   

10. Create PR with title [python] release new version and no description.

Post-Process Review

1. After the pull request is created, review the complete release run: commands executed, command output, manual interventions, validation results, changed files, commit, push, cleanup, and PR creation.
2. Update this skill only when the completed run provides a concrete finding and a strong reason for the change, such as:
   • A documented step failed or produced an incorrect result.
   • The agent needed an undocumented manual correction to complete the release.
   • A step was ambiguous enough to create a real risk or delay.
   • A command was unnecessary or could be replaced by a demonstrably safer or more reliable command.
3. Do not change the skill based on preference, speculation, or an unobserved edge case. For every update, record the observed evidence and explain why the edit improves future releases.
4. Keep any skill update minimal, validate its formatting and frontmatter, and keep it separate from the completed release PR unless the user explicitly asks to include it there.
5. If the review finds no evidence-backed improvement, leave the skill unchanged and state that no update was warranted.
6. Return the branch name, released package version, @typespec/http-client-python version, commit hash, pull request URL, review findings, and any skill update to the user.
