-# Release Process Documentation
-
-## Overview
-
-This document describes the automated release process for `azure/webapps-deploy` GitHub Action.
-
----
-
-## Branch Structure
-
-| Branch | Purpose | Notes |
-|--------|---------|-------|
-| `master` | Active development | - |
-| `releases/v3` | v3.x releases | Synced with `master` via cherry-pick |
-| `releases/v2` | v2.x releases | Same codebase structure, some files have different logic |
-
-> **Note:** `releases/v2` and `releases/v3` share the same codebase structure. Only a few major files have different implementations. The release process is identical for both.
-
----
-
-## How Users Consume This Action
-
-```yaml
-# Users reference major version tag
-- uses: Azure/webapps-deploy@v3   # Gets latest v3.x.x
-- uses: Azure/webapps-deploy@v2   # Gets latest v2.x.x
-```
-
----
-
-## Release Workflow
-
-### Step 1: Prepare Changes
-
-**For v3 releases:**
-1. Develop feature on feature branch
-2. Merge PR to `master`
-3. Create a feature branch from `releases/v3`:
-   ```bash
-   git checkout releases/v3
-   git pull origin releases/v3
-   git checkout -b feature/my-feature-v3
-   ```
-4. Cherry-pick commits from `master`:
-   ```bash
-   git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
-   ```
-5. Push and create PR to `releases/v3`:
-   ```bash
-   git push origin feature/my-feature-v3
-   ```
-6. Get PR reviewed and merge to `releases/v3`
-
-**For v2 releases:**
-1. Develop feature on feature branch
-2. Merge PR to `master`
-3. Create a feature branch from `releases/v2`:
-   ```bash
-   git checkout releases/v2
-   git pull origin releases/v2
-   git checkout -b feature/my-feature-v2
-   ```
-4. Cherry-pick commits from `master`:
-   ```bash
-   git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
-   ```
-5. Push and create PR to `releases/v2`:
-   ```bash
-   git push origin feature/my-feature-v2
-   ```
-6. Get PR reviewed and merge to `releases/v2`
-
-> **Note:** Using feature branches allows for code review before changes land in release branches.
-
----
-
-### Step 2: Create Release
-
-1. Go to **GitHub → Releases → Create a new release**
-2. Click **Choose a tag** → Type new tag (e.g., `v3.2.1`)
-3. Select **Target branch**: Choose the corresponding release branch
-   - `v3.x.x` → `releases/v3`
-   - `v2.x.x` → `releases/v2`
-4. Add release notes
-5. Click **Publish release**
-
----
-
-### Step 3: Two-Stage Approval & Release
-
-When release is published, the workflow has **two approval stages**:
-
-**Stage 1: Minor Tag (`release-minor` environment)**
-1. Workflow shows changes in summary
-2. Approver reviews and approves
-3. Builds code and creates minor tag (e.g., `v3.2.1`)
-4. Users can test with `Azure/webapps-deploy@v3.2.1`
-
-**Stage 2: Major Tag (`release-major` environment)**
-1. After testing minor tag, approver approves
-2. Updates major tag (`v3`) to point to minor (`v3.2.1`)
-3. Users on `Azure/webapps-deploy@v3` now get the new version
-
-### One-time Setup
-
-Go to **repo Settings → Environments** and create two environments:
-
-1. **`release-minor`** - Required reviewers → Add your team
-2. **`release-major`** - Required reviewers → Add your team
-
----
-
-## What's Different from Before
-
-| Aspect | Old Process | New Process |
-|--------|-------------|-------------|
-| `node_modules` | Committed to branch | ❌ Not needed (bundled with `ncc`) |
-| Build artifacts | In release branch | In tag only (`dist/index.js`) |
-| PR review | PR to releases/vX with node_modules | Review via workflow summary |
-| Manual steps | npm install, npm build, push | Automated |
-| Version tracking | Not tracked | Embedded in user agent |
-
----
-
-## Rollback Procedure
-
-### Quick Rollback (move v3 tag back)
-
-```bash
-# Point v3 back to previous version
-git tag -fa v3 v3.2.0 -m "Rollback to v3.2.0"
-git push origin v3 --force
-```
-
-### Hotfix Release
-
-1. Fix the bug in `releases/v3` branch
-2. Create new release `v3.2.2`
-3. Workflow auto-updates `v3` tag
-
----
-
-## Tag Naming Convention
-
-| Tag | Description |
-|-----|-------------|
-| `v3.2.1` | Specific release version |
-| `v3` | Always points to latest v3.x.x |
-| `v2.1.5` | Specific v2 release |
-| `v2` | Always points to latest v2.x.x |
-
----
-
-
-## User Agent Tracking
-
-API calls now include version information:
-
-```
-GITHUBACTIONS_DeployWebAppToAzure_v3.2.1_<repo_hash>
-```
-
-This helps track which release version is being used.
-
----
-
-## Security
-
-- Tag names are validated against pattern: `^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$`
-- Only maintainers can create releases
-- No secrets are exposed in the workflow
-
----
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-### Create a release (same for v2 and v3)
-```
-1. Create feature branch from releases/vX
-2. Cherry-pick changes from master
-3. Create PR to releases/vX → Review → Merge
-4. Create release with tag vX.x.x → Publish
-5. Approve Stage 1 (release-minor) → Creates v3.2.1
-6. Test v3.2.1 if needed
-7. Approve Stage 2 (release-major) → Updates v3
-8. Done!
-```
