Problem
The prerelease workflow is configured to run on branches matching release/*. The RC creation workflow previously created branches like
rc-YYYYMMDDinstead ofrelease/rc-YYMMDD, which did not match the trigger pattern, meaning the prerelease workflow was never invoked automatically.As it stands now any team member with write access can perform workflow_dispatch injection.
Solution
Update the RC creation workflow to create branches in the format
release/rc-YYYYMMDDinstead ofrc-YYYYMMDD, ensuring they match the prerelease workflow’srelease/*branch trigger and are picked up for prerelease builds.Sanitize the input fields via Github environment variables
feature/xbranches will not be squash-merged at release time.
