Walkthrough

This update revises documentation related to the Patcher tool. The main change is in the "Promotion Workflows" guide, updating the handling of the spec_file generated by the patcher report command in GitHub Actions workflows. Instead of storing this file in the repository and tracking it with version control, the documentation now recommends using a temporary file path and explicitly excluding it from source control, in line with recent Patcher releases. Additionally, a minor formatting cleanup was made in the "Grouping Concepts" documentation by removing unnecessary blank lines.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
docs/2.0/docs/patcher/concepts/grouping.md Removed three trailing blank lines after the last pseudocode block; no content or functional changes.
docs/2.0/docs/patcher/guides/promotion-workflows.md Updated documentation and example GitHub Actions YAML to use a temporary spec file (/tmp/patcher-spec.json) instead of a version-controlled file; added a note explaining the deprecation of checking in the spec file.

Poem

In docs we trust, and tidy we must,
Temp files now roam, not in repo’s home.
No more specs checked in,
Just workflows that grin—
Patcher’s new way, clear as the day!

58-62: Great addition of deprecation guidance!
The new info box clearly warns users to stop checking the spec output into source control. Consider enhancing it by linking to a .gitignore example or pointing users to ${{ runner.temp }} for runner‐provided temp storage.


122-122: Leverage the GitHub Actions temp directory
Rather than hard-coding /tmp/patcher-spec.json, you can use ${{ runner.temp }}/patcher-spec.json. This makes the workflow cross-platform and avoids potential permission issues on non-Linux runners.


145-145: Pin spec_file path for update step
Good update to use a temp file here. As an improvement, consider reusing ${{ runner.temp }} so both report and update steps reference the exact same runner-provided directory.


212-212: Use runner temp in stage report job
Same suggestion as above: swap /tmp/patcher-spec.json for ${{ runner.temp }}/patcher-spec.json to ensure consistency and cross-runner compatibility.


235-235: Stage: update step spec_file path
Consider unifying all temp paths via ${{ runner.temp }}/patcher-spec.json to avoid hard-coding and to ensure the same file location across jobs.


280-280: Prod: report job spec_file path
As above, using ${{ runner.temp }}/patcher-spec.json would align with GitHub Actions best practices and work on any runner.


303-303: Prod: update step spec_file path
Recommend switching to the built-in ${{ runner.temp }} directory rather than /tmp, for consistency and broader runner support.

137-137: Echo spec output into temp file
This step correctly writes the report output to the temp path. The quoting with single quotes preserves JSON integrity—nice!


228-228: Stage: create spec file in temp
This mirror of the dev step correctly writes to the temp path. Looks good!


296-296: Prod: echo report output
The create-file step is consistent—good job reusing the echo approach.
