This adds the Website Content Crawler release flow: git-cliff writes the entry from conventional commits, it gets committed, tagged and released, and only then is the build triggered.

Adapted for seven Actors with separate version lines that are often released one at a time. Each gets its own tag namespace, so its changelog covers only the commits since that Actor was last released, and commits scoped to another Actor's directory are left out

Unscoped commits still reach everyone

The Actor list moved to .github/release-actors.json, shared by the changelog and build jobs, and the git-cliff config lives in .github/cliff.toml

Closes #359

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow resolves actor matrices through scripts/release-matrix.mjs, validates release inputs, and predicts stable build numbers. It generates actor-specific changelogs, commits updates, creates GitHub releases, and builds actors from the resolved matrix. scripts/trigger-apify-build.mjs verifies expected Apify build numbers. Changelog files now use standardized introductory content.

Fixed issue severity: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 66815

The release workflow can publish version metadata before detecting a build-number conflict, potentially leaving a release version inconsistent with its built artifact. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to make conflict detection occur earlier.

// The changelog entry is written and committed before the build is triggered, so its heading is a
// prediction of the build number Apify assigns. Anything that consumed the number in the meantime (a
// manual build, a concurrent release) makes that heading wrong, and only a human can fix it.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Prevent post-publication build-number conflicts.

If a manual build or concurrent release consumes the predicted number, this check fails only after the changelog, Git tag, and GitHub release use that number. The Actor then has a published release that does not identify its built artifact. Reserve the build sequence before publication, or add an automatic correction flow for the changelog, tag, and GitHub release.

The concurrency: release-generic-actors group already rules out two runs of this workflow racing each other, so the only remaining exposure is a manual build started from the Console.

@nikitachapovskii-dev, confirmed. concurrency.group: release-generic-actors with cancel-in-progress: false serializes workflow runs. The comment on Lines 78-80 is inaccurate because a concurrent workflow release cannot cause this conflict.

A Console build can still consume the predicted number after Create the GitHub releases and before actorClient.build(). The integrity risk remains for that external build path. Please update the comment to identify external or manual builds only.

Learning: In `.github/workflows/release-generic-actors.yaml`, `concurrency.group: release-generic-actors` and `cancel-in-progress: false` serialize runs of the generic Actor release workflow. In `scripts/trigger-apify-build.mjs`, concurrent workflow releases cannot cause an `EXPECTED_BUILD_NUMBER` mismatch; a manual or other external Apify build can still consume the predicted build number after changelog and GitHub release publication.
