## 🔧 Summary This PR improves the release.yml GitHub Actions workflow by addressing several critical issues to ensure consistent and reliable behavior during tag-based releases. ## ✅ Changes Included ### 1. Fixed tag trigger regex - Escaped dots in the tag regex ([0-9]+\\.[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+) to ensure only semantic version tags like 1.2.3 trigger the workflow. ##### Explanation - Old **Regex** is incorrect because . matches **any character**, so it matched: `1-2-3`, `1_2_3`, even `1a2b3`, which is invalid for versioning. - Fixed **Regex** is strict — matches only 1.2.3. #### Find attached tested SCREEN SHOT BELOW . **Bad Match with Old Regex:**  **Proper Match with Fixed Regex:**  --- ### 💬 Note: If you're planning to adopt alternate version tag formats in the future — such as: - v1.0.2 (semantic with prefix) - release-1.0.2 or rel-1.0.2 - 1.0.2-beta, 1.0.2-rc.1 (prereleases with suffixes) - x1.0.2x (custom wrapping formats) **…feel free to reach out. I'm happy to help extend the workflow to support those formats reliably and safely.** --- ### 2. Added strict release job guard - Prevented **accidental release runs** on non-tag events using if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/'). ### 3. Explicit artifact validation - **Introduced a shell check** using ls and test to ensure .zip and .pkg files exist before attempting release. This gives early, clear failure instead of a **vague error** from `action-gh-release`. ### 4. Clarified GitHub token usage - Switched from ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} to ${{ github.token }} for better readability and consistency with GitHub Actions best practices. @katiewasnothere @wlan0
container
container is a tool that you can use to create and run Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on your Mac. It's written in Swift, and optimized for Apple silicon.
The tool consumes and produces OCI-compliant container images, so you can pull and run images from any standard container registry. You can push images that you build to those registries as well, and run the images in any other OCI-compliant application.
container uses the Containerization Swift package for low level container, image, and process management.
Get started
Requirements
You need an Apple silicon Mac to run container. To build it, see the BUILDING document.
container relies on the new features and enhancements present in the macOS 26 Beta 1. You can run the tool on macOS 15, but the container maintainers typically will not address issues discovered on macOS 15 that cannot be reproduced on the macOS 26 Beta 1.
There are significant networking limitations that impact the usability of container on macOS 15.
Install or upgrade
If you're upgrading, first uninstall your existing container while preserving your user data:
uninstall-container.sh -k
Download the latest signed installer package for container from the GitHub release page.
To install the tool, double click the package file and follow the instructions. Enter your administrator password when prompted, to give the installer permission to place the installed files under /usr/local.
Uninstall
Use the uninstall-container.sh script to remove container from your system. To remove your user data along with the tool, run:
uninstall-container.sh -d
To retain your user data so that it is available should you reinstall later, run:
uninstall-container.sh -k
Next steps
- Take a guided tour of
containerby building, running, and publishing a simple web server image. - Learn how to use various
containerfeatures. - Read a brief description and technical overview of
container. - View the project API documentation.
