Fixed workflow failure by ensuring only data goes to stdout, not informational messages. Also added support for version format X.Y.Z-suffix in addition to X.Y.Z+build.
Add four new helper scripts for mobile APK workflows: setup-apk-signing.sh (decode keystores and export signing env vars), verify-apk-signature.sh (check and display APK certificate info), attach-apk-to-release.sh (rename and upload APK to a GitHub Release), and setup-mobile-github-secrets.sh (helper to generate/show required GitHub Secrets). Update product-release.yml to expose version/tag outputs and add a build-mobile-artifacts job that sets up Java/Flutter, installs deps, configures signing from repository secrets, builds APKs for worker/client apps, verifies signatures, uploads artifacts, and optionally attaches the APK to the GitHub Release. Secrets and envvar naming conventions are handled to support dev/staging/prod keystores; documentation references (docs/RELEASE/APK_SIGNING_SETUP.md) are noted in scripts.
- Updated Makefile to include new command for setting up mobile CI secrets.
- Enhanced tools.mk with setup-mobile-ci-secrets target.
- Created setup-mobile-github-secrets.sh script for configuring GitHub Secrets for APK signing.
- Added APK signing implementation summary documentation.
- Created detailed APK signing setup guide.
- Added GitHub secrets checklist for easy reference.
Standardize prerelease version tags for mobile apps. Updated client and staff pubspecs to use 0.0.1-m3 instead of their previous Iliana*-M3 suffixed versions:
- apps/mobile/apps/client/pubspec.yaml: 0.0.1-IlianaClientM3 -> 0.0.1-m3
- apps/mobile/apps/staff/pubspec.yaml: 0.0.1-IlianaStaffM3 -> 0.0.1-m3
This keeps version naming consistent across the mobile projects.
Add CI/CD and release automation assets: new GitHub Actions workflows (backend-foundation, hotfix-branch-creation, mobile-ci, product-release, web-quality), shell scripts for version/tag/release-note extraction and release-summary generation (.github/scripts/*), and a Pull Request template. Implements hotfix branch creation from tags, automatic tag name generation, version extraction from pubspec.yaml, CHANGELOG-based release notes extraction, selective mobile CI (detects changed files, builds and lints only affected Dart files), backend service test dry-runs, and automated GitHub release creation with summaries.
🗑️ Removed Files:
- RELEASE_IMPLEMENTATION.md
- RELEASE_INDEX.md
- RELEASE_PACKAGE_SUMMARY.md
- RELEASE_QUICK_REFERENCE.md
- RELEASE_STRATEGY.md
- RELEASE_VISUAL_GUIDE.md
- RELEASE_WORKFLOW.md
- VERSION_FILES_REFERENCE.md
📍 Reason for Removal:
- These were draft/planning documents with incorrect tag format
- Used 'staff-mobile/*' instead of correct 'krow-withus-worker-mobile/*'
- Not aligned with actual GitHub Actions workflows
- Caused confusion about which documentation to follow
✅ Current Documentation (Correct & Up-to-Date):
- docs/RELEASE/MOBILE_RELEASE_PLAN.md
- docs/RELEASE/HOTFIX_PROCESS.md
- docs/RELEASE/OVERALL_RELEASE_PLAN.md
The docs/RELEASE/ files use correct tag naming and align with the
implemented GitHub Actions workflows (.github/workflows/product-release.yml
and hotfix-branch-creation.yml).
🔄 Hotfix Workflow Enhancements:
- Accept tags from any environment (dev/stage/prod), not just production
- Changed input parameter: 'production_tag' → 'tag'
- Updated validation to show all available tags (not just prod)
- Made terminology more generic throughout
- Show 20 most recent tags instead of 10 for better visibility
📝 File Renames:
- .github/workflows/mobile-hotfix.yml → hotfix-branch-creation.yml
- .github/workflows/mobile-release.yml → product-release.yml
Benefits:
✅ Hotfix workflow now works with dev/stage/prod tags
✅ More flexible for various hotfix scenarios
✅ Clearer, more descriptive workflow file names
✅ Consistent with product-agnostic terminology
🔄 Updated workflows and scripts to use product-agnostic naming:
Workflow Changes:
- 📱 Mobile Release → 📦 Product Release
- 🚨 Mobile Hotfix → 🚨 Product Hotfix
- Mobile App → Product (in descriptions)
- "mobile app" → "product" (in messages and tags)
- "pubspec.yaml" → "version file" (in user-facing text)
Display Names:
- Worker Mobile → Worker Product
- Client Mobile → Client Product
- Staff Mobile App → Staff Product (Worker)
- Client Mobile App → Client Product
Benefits:
✅ Makes workflows extensible for other product types
✅ Consistent terminology across all automation
✅ Easier to add web, backend, or other products later
✅ Keeps implementation details (paths, scripts) unchanged
✅ Maintains backward compatibility with existing tags
Note: File paths remain unchanged (apps/mobile/...) as they are implementation-specific
✨ Enhanced mobile-release.yml workflow:
- 📱 Added emojis to all steps for better visual feedback
- 🔧 Version now automatically extracted from pubspec.yaml
- No manual version input required
- Reads from apps/mobile/apps/staff/pubspec.yaml for worker
- Reads from apps/mobile/apps/client/pubspec.yaml for client
- 📝 Removed manual version input field from workflow
🔨 Created reusable shell scripts in .github/scripts/:
1. extract-version.sh - Extract version from pubspec.yaml
2. generate-tag-name.sh - Generate tag names consistently
3. extract-release-notes.sh - Extract CHANGELOG sections
4. create-release-summary.sh - Generate GitHub Step Summary with emojis
Benefits:
✅ Simpler workflow - just select app and environment
✅ Single source of truth for versions (pubspec.yaml)
✅ Reusable scripts can be used in other workflows
✅ Better error messages and validation
✅ Enhanced visual feedback with emojis
✅ Cleaner workflow file (moved logic to scripts)
- Add mobile-release.yml workflow:
- Manual trigger with app (worker/client) and environment (dev/stage/prod) selection
- Version validation (semantic versioning)
- Tag creation with format: krow-withus-<app>-mobile/<env>-vX.Y.Z
- GitHub Release creation with CHANGELOG extraction
- Release naming: 'Krow With Us - Worker Mobile - DEV - v0.1.0'
- Pre-release support
- Add mobile-hotfix.yml workflow:
- Emergency production fix automation
- Creates hotfix branch from production tag
- Auto-increments PATCH version
- Updates pubspec.yaml and CHANGELOG.md
- Creates PR with hotfix instructions
- Follows documented hotfix process
Both workflows support staff (worker) and client mobile apps independently.

Normalize spacing in Codemagic job names (add space after emoji) and remove duplicated android_signing environment variable mappings for staff keystores across dev, staging, and prod workflows in codemagic.yaml. Add docs/MILESTONES/M4/demos/m4-client-note.md with the M4 demo guide (deliverables, test accounts, core improvements, and key deliverables).
Standardize CI signing config and clean up Android build files:
- Replace app-specific CodeMagic keystore env vars (CM_KEYSTORE_PATH_CLIENT/STAFF, CM_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_CLIENT/STAFF, CM_KEY_ALIAS_CLIENT/STAFF, CM_KEY_PASSWORD_CLIENT/STAFF) with shared variables (CM_KEYSTORE_PATH, CM_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD, CM_KEY_ALIAS, CM_KEY_PASSWORD) in client and staff build.gradle.kts to unify CI configuration.
- Remove stray TODO comment about applicationId in both build files (cleanup).
- Adjust manifestPlaceholders placement in the client build file.
- Delete a backup google-services.json_back from the staff app to remove an unnecessary/sensitive artifact.

- Introduced SectionHeader for displaying titles and optional actions in sections.
- Added ClientHomeBody, ClientHomeEditModeBody, ClientHomeNormalModeBody, and ClientHomeErrorState for improved state management and UI separation.
- Enhanced dashboard widget builder to support edit mode and error handling.
