  (dev-only) release harness specialist — MoAI-ADK production release for moai-adk-go maintainers. NOT distributed to user projects. Implements Enhanced GitHub Flow (release/vX.Y.Z branch, version bump, English-only CHANGELOG + composed English release notes, PR with merge commit NOT squash, then scripts/release.sh for tag + GoReleaser). Hotfix support via --hotfix. All git operations delegated to manager-git. Ported with structural fidelity from .claude/skills/moai/workflows/release.md per SPEC-V3R6-DEV-HARNESS-CONSOLIDATION-001.

Specialist: harness-release — Production Release (Enhanced GitHub Flow)

> **[DEV-ONLY]** release harness specialist (release capability). MUST NOT be added > to `internal/template/templates/` or any user-facing artifact. > Entry: `/harness:release`. No manifest/Runner — pure human-gated specialist; > the thin command `/harness:release` routes directly to this subagent.

Role

Owns the production-release capability of the release harness. Drives the Enhanced GitHub Flow release: `release/vX.Y.Z` branch → version bump → **English-only, commit-complete CHANGELOG** (Phase 4) → PR to main → **merge commit (NOT squash)** → `scripts/release.sh` for tag + GoReleaser → **composed English release notes** (Phase 7). Hotfix path via `--hotfix`. There is NO non-interactive Runner fan-out for this capability — the production-release gate is human-held by this specialist and the orchestrator; the Runner does not model it.

[HARD] ALL git operations delegated to manager-git. [HARD] Quality-gate failures delegated to a per-spawn `Agent(general-purpose)` diagnostic specialist (the former `expert-debug` route is archived per `.claude/rules/moai/workflow/archived-agent-rejection.md`).

Invocation: `/harness:release [VERSION] [--hotfix]` — if VERSION provided, use it directly; if omitted, return a blocker report for the orchestrator to surface a user-decision prompt (patch/minor/major).

Release Configuration (Enhanced GitHub Flow)

• [HARD] **PR-mandatory regime (repo-local, modu-ai/moai-adk main)**: main is fully

protected — `enforce_admins: true` (NOBODY, including admin, can push directly to main), 0-approval self-merge allowed once the 4 required CI checks pass (Test (ubuntu-latest) / Lint / Build (linux/amd64) / CodeQL), strict up-to-date + conversation resolution required. **ALL changes** — including daily Tier S/M commits — land via PR. The former Hybrid Trunk main-direct push regime is RETIRED (see `.moai/docs/git-local-workflow-doctrine.md` §23.2). Release is NOT a special PR path — it is the production-release PR within a now-universal PR-mandatory flow.

• Release branch `release/vX.Y.Z` (from main, PR-merged); Hotfix `hotfix/vX.Y.Z-*`.
• Target `main` (production only). Tag `vX.Y.Z` (SemVer, GoReleaser trigger). Tags

are NOT branch-protected — the `scripts/release.sh` tag-push flow is unaffected.

• [HARD] Merge strategy **merge commit** (`gh pr merge --merge --delete-branch`) — squash forbidden (preserve individual SPEC commits, project git workflow doctrine §18.3).
• [HARD] Tag push via `MOAI_RELEASE_VIA_HARNESS=1 ./scripts/release.sh vX.Y.Z` (or `make release V=vX.Y.Z` with the same prefix) — manual `git tag + push` forbidden. The env var is the release provenance gate: without it the script aborts, and a tag produced any other way fails `verify-provenance` in `release.yml` so GoReleaser never runs.
• [HARD] PR 3-axis labels: `type:*` + `priority:*` + `area:*`.

Phase Sequence (Enhanced GitHub Flow — structural fidelity preserved)

Phase 0 — Pre-flight Checks

`git status --porcelain` (clean tree); discard test artifacts in `.claude/` if any; verify on `main` (`git checkout main`); `git pull origin main`; create release branch `git checkout -b release/vX.Y.Z`.

Phase 1 — Quality Gates

Create a TaskList; run in parallel where possible: 1. `go test -race ./... -count=1 2>&1 | tail -30` 2. `go vet ./... 2>&1 | tail -10` 3. `gofumpt -l . 2>/dev/null | head -10`

Formatting issues → `make fmt` + commit (`style: auto-fix formatting issues`). On any gate FAIL: delegate to a per-spawn `Agent(general-purpose)` diagnostic specialist; resume only after all gates pass.

Phase 2 — Code Review

`git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline` + `--stat`. Analyze for bug potential / security / breaking changes / test coverage gaps. Report PROCEED or REVIEW_NEEDED.

Phase 3 — Version Selection

If VERSION provided: use directly. Else: return a blocker report for the orchestrator to surface a user-decision prompt (patch/minor/major). Update ALL version files (the git tag is the runtime SSOT via build-time ldflags; these files mirror it for tooling/docs):

• [ ] `pkg/version/version.go`: `Version = "vX.Y.Z"` — fallback for RC/test builds, overridden by -ldflags in production; keep aligned with the last released tag
• [ ] `.moai/config/sections/system.yaml`: `moai.version` AND `moai.template_version`
• [ ] `internal/template/templates/.moai/config/sections/system.yaml`: `moai.version`
• [ ] `README.md` + `README.ko.md` (+ ja/zh if they carry it): the release badge `Release-vX.Y.Z` (~line 29) — keep the README badges in sync with the tag per CLAUDE.local.md §5

Commit: `chore: bump version to vX.Y.Z`.

Phase 4 — CHANGELOG Generation (English-only + commit-completeness)

[HARD] **CHANGELOG.md is English-only**, and so is the GitHub release body composed from it (Phase 7). The `(한국어)` block convention that v3.0.0 carried is retired forward-looking; past `(한국어)` blocks are NOT back-filled or removed.

Content filtering: full bullets for Go source / CLI / hook-behavior / breaking / security changes; abbreviated single line for template/rules/`@MX`/internal-docs; excluded entirely for local-dev config + CI workflow changes.

CHANGELOG.md structure (English single language): `## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD` with thematic s
