🚀 v0.14.0 — Release Pipeline & Deploy Automation

What's New

No new components or public API additions in this release. Changes are focused on the release pipeline and demo app infrastructure.

---

What Changed

midwest.css added to the asset manifest

demo/app/assets/config/manifest.js now explicitly links midwest.css, ensuring it is available as a named asset in the Sprockets pipeline.

Docker build now precompiles assets

The Dockerfile adds a rails assets:precompile step during the build stage so midwest.css and JS are fully compiled in the production image — no missing assets on first deploy.

What Was Removed

Nothing removed.

Dev Process

Automated release pipeline

bin/release now calls two new scripts end-to-end:

• bin/generate-release-notes — drafts the changelog file for the new version. If claude is available in $PATH, it invokes Claude Code to write the notes from recent commits. Otherwise it writes a skeleton file for manual editing.
• bin/publish-release-notes — creates the GitHub release, strips frontmatter and ERB from the changelog file, and attaches the VSCode extension (.vsix) as a release asset. Falls back to opening the GitHub web UI if gh is not installed.

Automated Dokku staging deploys

bin/deploy-docs is a new script that pushes main to the staging Dokku remote (dokku@unabridged-staging.com:midwest), adding the remote automatically if it does not exist.

Procfile renamed to Procfile.dev

The root Procfile has been renamed to Procfile.dev. bin/dev is updated accordingly — both the default Foreman path and the --docker path still work as before.
