Releasing: Patching and Rollback#8673
Conversation
The `trigger-patch-release` workflow was failing with a `HttpError: Resource not accessible by integration` error. This was because the workflow did not have the necessary permissions to trigger another workflow. This change adds the `actions: write` permission to the `trigger-patch-release` job, which allows it to create a workflow dispatch event.

Summary of Changes
Hello @mattKorwel, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly enhances the release management capabilities by introducing automated processes for patching critical bugs and safely managing npm release tags. It also includes a new GitHub Action for programmatic PR creation and merging, alongside updated documentation to guide users through these new workflows. The changes aim to improve the reliability and efficiency of the release pipeline.
Highlights
- Automated Patching Process: A new, vetted automatic patching process has been introduced, allowing for the creation of patch pull requests via GitHub comments or a dedicated workflow, followed by an automated release upon merge.
- Safe Rollback and Rollforward: The pull request adds the ability to safely rollback or roll forward npm dist-tags (like 'latest' and 'preview') using a new GitHub Actions workflow, providing a controlled way to adjust release versions.
- New GitHub Action for PR Management: A new composite GitHub Action,
.github/actions/create-pull-request/action.yml, has been added to programmatically create and automatically merge pull requests, streamlining workflow automation. - Updated Release Documentation: The release documentation (
docs/releases.md) has been comprehensively updated to reflect the new patching, rollback, and manual release procedures, and to clarify the overall release promotion flow.
