fix(release): build workspace before clean-runner lint

[Keesan12]

Fixes the root v0.5.1 trusted-publishing workflow after the first tag run proved a clean checkout must build workspace type declarations before lint. Adds a regression assertion for the required order. No product/runtime changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated release validation to build the project before running linting and other checks.
  • Improved workflow validation to ensure build steps run in the correct order.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow now runs pnpm build before linting and other validation. The root workflow test verifies this ordering.

Changes

Release validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build-before-lint validation .github/workflows/release.yml, scripts/tests/root-release-workflow.test.mjs	The workflow runs pnpm build before lint, surface checks, and tests. The test asserts that build precedes lint.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 66e2a

The release workflow now builds before linting on a clean checkout, but the regression assertion could pass if the build step were removed because it does not verify both commands exist. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up to strengthen the assertion.

Poem

A rabbit checks the build with care,
Then lets the lint run through the air.
Tests follow in a tidy line,
“All green!” says Bun, “The flow is fine!”

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Verify that both commands exist before comparing their order.

indexOf() returns -1 when a command is absent. If pnpm build is removed while pnpm lint remains, this assertion still passes because -1 is less than the lint position. Assert that both indexes are non-negative before comparing them.

Proposed fix

+  const buildIndex = workflow.indexOf("pnpm build");
+  const lintIndex = workflow.indexOf("pnpm lint");
+  assert.notEqual(buildIndex, -1, "the clean release runner must run pnpm build");
+  assert.notEqual(lintIndex, -1, "the clean release runner must run pnpm lint");
   assert.ok(
-    workflow.indexOf("pnpm build") < workflow.indexOf("pnpm lint"),
+    buildIndex < lintIndex,
     "the clean release runner must build workspace type declarations before linting"
   );
