This workflow can be triggered by both the daily schedule and workflow_dispatch. Without a concurrency group, two runs can overlap and race while creating/pushing the same tag (one run may fail with “tag already exists” after the other pushes). Add a concurrency block (similar to .github/workflows/e2e.yml) to ensure only one nightly-tag job runs at a time.

Suggested change
concurrency:
group: nightly-release-${{ github.ref }}
cancel-in-progress: true

Not sure if we want current stable or current stable +1 patch. Because:

v0.5.0-nightly < v0.5.0 < v0.5.1

So if the current release is v0.5.0, semver wise I think the nightly would be v0.5.1-nightly... so that:

v0.5.0 < v0.5.1-nightly < v0.5.1

if [ -z "$LATEST_STABLE" ]; then
echo "::error::No stable version tag found"
exit 1

DATE=$(date -u +%Y%m%d)

Shall we also add the short hash to it?

Suggested change
TAG="${LATEST_STABLE}-nightly.${DATE}"
TAG="${LATEST_STABLE}-nightly.${DATE}.${SHORT_COMMIT_ID}"


if git rev-parse "${TAG}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "Tag ${TAG} already exists, skipping."
exit 0
fi

echo "Creating nightly tag: ${TAG}"
git tag "${TAG}"
git push origin "${TAG}"

Nightly tag push won't trigger release workflow

High Severity

The nightly workflow pushes tags using the default GITHUB_TOKEN (from actions/checkout), but GitHub Actions deliberately prevents events triggered by GITHUB_TOKEN from creating new workflow runs. This means the git push origin "${TAG}" will never trigger the release workflow's push: tags trigger, making the entire nightly release pipeline non-functional. A PAT or GitHub App token is needed for the checkout/push step.

For prerelease tags, git describe ... HEAD^ can select the previous stable tag when the nightly tag is created on the same commit as the latest stable release (e.g., right after cutting a stable release with no new commits). That would make the generated “Changes since …” section incorrect. Consider deriving the stable base tag directly from the prerelease tag name (e.g., strip the -nightly.* suffix) or run git describe against HEAD (relying on --exclude '*-*') so the latest stable tag is used consistently.

Suggested change
LATEST_STABLE=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 --match 'v[0-9]*' --exclude '*-*' HEAD^ 2>/dev/null || echo "")
LATEST_STABLE=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 --match 'v[0-9]*' --exclude '*-*' HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "")
