Upgrade To v0.9.0

Rush Delivery v0.9.0 adds environment-selected public OCI coordinates, bounded local-copy imports, and deterministic project-owned Rush tools. It does not change the package-manifest v2 handoff, provider-off defaults, static OCI provider behavior, or the unconfigured Node-only toolchain.

Compatibility Summary

Existing project	Required change
Git source mode, any existing artifact mix	Update the Action/module tag only
Static oci_registry provider	Update the tag only; registry and repository_prefix remain valid
No .dagger/toolchains/rush.yaml	None; toolchain v1 spec/hash/cache behavior is preserved
Filesystem-only or provider-off	None; OCI provider metadata remains optional/unused
Direct top-level local dagger call	None; released static filters are preserved
Action local_copy or new local launcher	Review the seven bounded defaults; include an intentionally required matching path or temporarily choose legacy

The only default behavior change is at the new caller-side boundary for Action local_copy: source-import-policy defaults to bounded. This prevents large dependency/cache trees from being uploaded. A project that intentionally uses a matching path must declare a later inclusion in .dagger/source-import.ignore.

Pre-Upgrade Inventory

Record the current tag, source mode, provider selection, and one successful dry run. For local-copy callers, locate required paths matching:

**/node_modules
**/.venv
**/__pycache__
**/.rush
**/rush-logs
.trunk/out
.trunk/logs

Do not add blanket inclusions. For each required path, identify the entrypoint that consumes it and add the narrowest ! rule. Split-stage Package callers must account for built outputs, .dagger/runtime, package manifests, and OCI evidence explicitly.

Upgrade References

Update Action and module references:

uses: BootstrapLaboratory/rush-delivery@v0.9.1

RUSH_DELIVERY_MODULE=github.com/BootstrapLaboratory/rush-delivery@v0.9.1

Use exact v0.9.1 editor schemas when adopting the current patch:

https://bootstraplaboratory.github.io/rush-delivery/schemas/v0.9.1/<schema>.schema.json

If local worktrees are used, install the checksummed launcher exactly as shown in the bounded local-copy guide.

Canary Sequence

1. Run validate-metadata-contract against the upgraded module.
2. Run provider-off dry runs for the same forced targets used in the v0.8.1 baseline.
3. If using local copy, run bounded mode and confirm Git history, affected targets, and every required re-included output.
4. If adopting environment coordinates, select a non-production profile in a named-provider dry run. Confirm the planned repository and that no credential value is needed.
5. If adopting a project toolchain, run provider off first and assert the tool version in Rush lifecycle scripts. Populate provider cache only from a trusted job.
6. Run one live non-production OCI publication. Verify signature, attestations, evidence, manifest repository/digest, and digest-only Deploy.
7. Promote the unchanged metadata and version pin to production.

Optional Feature Adoption

Environment coordinates use exactly one field from each pair:

• registry or registry_env; and
• repository_prefix or repository_prefix_env.

They can be adopted independently, so static/environment mixed definitions are valid. Coordinate values are public routing data. Credential environment names and values retain the Package-only protections. Follow the environment-profile tutorial.

Project tools are opt-in through .dagger/toolchains/rush.yaml. Absence is the compatibility path. Follow the toolchain production guide and mixed-language tutorial.

Recovery

If bounded local copy omits a required path, choose legacy for the immediate retry, then add and test a narrow inclusion before restoring bounded. Git source mode is unaffected and never reads the ignore file.

If a configured toolchain fails, remove the new metadata to return to the exact default toolchain, or revert the metadata to the last reviewed digest/checksum. Do not bypass checksum or base-image pinning.

If dynamic coordinates select the wrong repository, stop before live Package, correct the public deployment env value, and repeat the named dry run. Deploy does not reload coordinates: a package already published and handed off by digest continues to deploy that immutable packaged result.

Rolling the Action/module reference back to v0.8.1 is valid only for metadata that does not use the new coordinate or toolchain fields. Retain the v0.9.0 package manifest/evidence with any v0.9.0 publication; do not reconstruct a repository during rollback.
