User description

This allows the user to only have to type "gradle release" and it will fetch the update, add it to modules-untouched and then does the build.


PR Type

  • Automatically downloads from nono303/memcached and creates GitHub releases

  • Implements smart polling to wait for modules-untouched updates

  • Documents prerequisites (GitHub CLI, GH_PAT, 7-Zip) and workflow examples

### Automated Upstream Workflow

The build system includes an **intelligent automated workflow** that handles upstream releases:

#### Smart Version Detection

When you run `gradle release -PbundleVersion=1.6.39`, the build automatically:

1. **Checks modules-untouched** - Does version 1.6.39 exist?
   -**YES** → Skip to step 6 (normal build process)
   -**NO** → Continue to step 2 (create upstream release)

2. **Downloads from nono303** - Clones nono303/memcached repository and extracts `libevent-2.1/x64` folder

3. **Extracts version** - Uses PowerShell to get version from `memcached.exe` file properties

4. **Creates 7z archive** - Creates `memcached-{version}-win64.7z` with all binaries

5. **Creates GitHub release**:
   - Tag: `memcached-{bundle.release}` (e.g., `memcached-2025.8.20`)
   - Title: `Memcache {VERSION}` (e.g., `Memcache 1.6.39`)

High-level
Decouple build and dependency release processes

The suggestion recommends decoupling this module's build process from the
release process of its upstream dependency, modules-untouched. Instead of the
build creating and publishing missing dependencies, it should fail, and a
separate, dedicated workflow should be used for dependency releases.

Examples:

.gradle-docs/README.md [295-327]
### Automated Upstream Workflow

The build system includes an **intelligent automated workflow** that handles upstream releases:

#### Smart Version Detection

When you run `gradle release -PbundleVersion=1.6.39`, the build automatically:

1. **Checks modules-untouched** - Does version 1.6.39 exist?
   -**YES** → Skip to step 6 (normal build process)

 ... (clipped 23 lines)

Solution Walkthrough:

Before:

// In gradle 'release' task
function build_with_auto_release(version) {
  if (!dependency_exists_in_repo("modules-untouched", version)) {
    print("Dependency missing, creating upstream release...");
    clone_dependency_source();
    package_dependency_binaries();
    create_github_release_for_dependency("modules-untouched");
    poll_repo_until_dependency_appears("modules-untouched");
  }
  
  print("Continuing with normal build...");
  download_dependency("modules-untouched", version);
  // ... rest of the build process
}

After:

// In a separate, dedicated workflow for the dependency
function release_new_dependency_version() {
  clone_dependency_source();
  package_dependency_binaries();
  create_github_release_for_dependency("modules-untouched");
}

// In this project's gradle 'release' task
function build_release(version) {
  if (!dependency_exists_in_repo("modules-untouched", version)) {
    fail_build("Dependency " + version + " not found. Please release it first.");
  }
  
  print("Starting build...");
  download_dependency("modules-untouched", version);
  // ... rest of the build process
}
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: This suggestion correctly identifies a critical design flaw, where the build process is tightly coupled with the release of an upstream dependency, making the build system fragile, complex, and stateful.

High
Security
Recommend more secure authentication method

Update the authentication instructions to recommend gh auth login as the
primary, more secure method, and present the use of the GH_PAT environment
variable as a less-secure alternative for CI/CD environments.

.gradle-docs/README.md [336-343]

 Set up GitHub authentication:
 ```bash
-# Set environment variable
+# Recommended: Authenticate with the GitHub CLI.
+# This is more secure as it stores the token in your system's keychain.
+gh auth login
+
+# Alternative: Use an environment variable (less secure).
+# Useful for non-interactive environments like CI/CD.
+# WARNING: Exposing tokens in environment variables can be a security risk.
 $env:GH_PAT = 'your_github_personal_access_token'
-
-# Or authenticate with gh CLI
-gh auth login


- [ ] **Apply / Chat** <!-- /improve --apply_suggestion=1 -->


<details><summary>Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8</summary>

__

Why: This suggestion provides important security advice by recommending the more secure `gh auth login` method over storing a PAT in an environment variable, correctly explaining the risks and appropriate use cases for each.

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the new workflow is Windows-specific due to using PowerShell on a .exe file, which contradicts the general claim of cross-platform support. Adding this clarification is crucial for accuracy and preventing user confusion.

Medium
Document build failure on timeout

Update the documentation for the polling step to clarify that the build will
fail if the 5-minute timeout is reached and provide context for why this might
happen.

.gradle-docs/README.md [320]

-6. **Waits for update** - Polls modules-untouched every 10 seconds (max 5 minutes) until version appears
+6. **Waits for update** - Polls modules-untouched every 10 seconds (up to a 5-minute maximum) until the new version appears. If the version does not appear within 5 minutes, the build will fail. This may indicate a delay in the upstream automation that publishes to `modules-untouched`.
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: The suggestion correctly points out missing information about the timeout behavior, which is important for troubleshooting. Clarifying that the build fails improves the documentation's completeness and usability.

PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪
🧪 No relevant tests
🔒 Security concerns

Sensitive information exposure:
The documentation includes an example that assigns GH_PAT to a literal token string ($env:GH_PAT = 'your_github_personal_access_token'). While it appears to be a placeholder, it may encourage users to paste real tokens into terminal history or scripts. Consider explicitly labeling it as a placeholder, recommending gh auth login as the default, and advising least-privilege token scopes and avoiding storing tokens in files or logs.

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review

Token Handling

The docs instruct setting GH_PAT and show an example value assignment; double-check the wording clearly states this is a placeholder, recommends least-privilege scopes, and discourages persisting the token in shells/history or any repo-tracked files.

The automated workflow description includes specific repo/branch/subfolder details and polling behavior; verify these are accurate and stable, and consider noting failure modes (e.g., if modules-untouched isn’t updated within 5 minutes) and what the user should do next.
