Description

Part 1: Automatically generate changes with GHA

  • Detect changes in src/rustdoc-json-types
  • Decide if this is a major or minor version (FORMAT_VERSION should be a decent proxy, but may not be true if JSON format doesn't change but rust does)
  • Run ./update.sh
  • Update Cargo.toml
  • Update CHANGELOG.md
  • Create PR.

Part 2: Automaticly publish to Crates.io

  • Detect new version has been merged
  • Publish to crates.io
  • Do this in a way giving a way with minimal perms.

Overall, I don't think I wan't to automaticly publish on upstream changes, but it would be nice for it to be more automated

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing workflow setup and the update path around src/rustdoc-json-types and ./update.sh. Trace how Cargo.toml and CHANGELOG.md are currently updated, then define automation for change detection, versioning, PR creation, and crates.io publishing with minimal permissions. Done means the required workflow steps run reliably without publishing on unrelated upstream changes.
