Redirect script informational/warning output to stderr and improve robustness of release tooling. Changes include:
- Redirect many echo messages to stderr so scripts can emit machine-readable output on stdout.
- Extract-release-notes: better parsing of CHANGELOG entries (tries v-prefixed and non-prefixed headings, cleaner note formatting) and improved fallbacks when changelog is missing.
- Extract-version: accept versions with +build or -suffix, add diagnostic output when pubspec is missing, and tighten validation.
- Setup/verify APK signing: more consistent stderr logging and clearer warnings; ensure keystore decoding/logging is visible.
- Minor script usage message fixes (generate-tag-name, attach-apk-to-release).
- CI/workflows: change backend-foundation, mobile-ci, and web-quality triggers to workflow_dispatch (manual runs); update product-release (make scripts step label emoji, remove node cache lines, bump Flutter to 3.38.x).
These changes improve CI reliability, make scripts friendlier for automated consumers, and fix release note/version parsing edge cases.
- 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.
🔄 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
