feat: replace olm-catalog branch with PR-based catalog workflow#3
Merged
Conversation
Previously the OLM catalog index (olm/index-template.yaml) was stored on a separate long-lived olm-catalog branch and updated by committing directly to it on every CI run. This change replaces that pattern with a PR-based approach: - olm/ is moved into main (and release-* branches) as a regular tracked directory - The olm-publish action no longer performs any git operations; it only builds and pushes images, leaving olm/index-template.yaml modified in the working tree - Each release workflow opens (or force-updates) a PR with the catalog changes for human review before they land Channel/trigger/branch mapping: development push to main -> PR to main candidate chore(release): on release-* -> PR to release-X.Y stable GitHub release promoted -> PR to release-X.Y New release-branch.yaml handles RC releases (prerelease creation, OLM candidate publish, catalog PR) cut from release-* branches. Also updates docs/developer.md and docs/design/release.md to reflect the new release process.

This change replaces that pattern with a PR-based approach:
Channel/trigger/branch mapping:
development push to main -> PR to main
candidate chore(release): on release-* -> PR to release-X.Y
stable GitHub release promoted -> PR to release-X.Y
New release-branch.yaml handles RC releases (prerelease creation, OLM candidate publish, catalog PR) cut from release-* branches.
Also updates docs/developer.md and docs/design/release.md to reflect the new release process.
