Action Summary

ReleasePilot Guard is a GitHub Action designed to assess the release impact of pull requests in Expo projects. It evaluates changes and provides a safety classification (OTA_safe, native_build_required, etc.) based on Git history and project configurations. This helps ensure that only safe updates are merged, reducing potential risks associated with dynamic or unverified code changes.

What’s Changed

First public release

ReleasePilot Guard is a conservative release-impact checker for Expo applications.

It analyzes a pull-request Git range and classifies the safest release route as:

  • OTA safe
  • Native build required
  • Backend or configuration dependency
  • Store metadata only
  • No app release required
  • Manual review

Included

  • Reusable composite GitHub Action
  • Real Git-range analysis
  • Nested Expo monorepo support
  • Dependency and lockfile detection
  • Static Expo and EAS configuration comparison
  • Machine-readable evidence report
  • Conservative handling of unknown changes

Validation

Tested against 25 pinned commit ranges from five public Expo repositories:

  • 22/25 automatically classified
  • 6/6 reviewed OTA-safe classifications correct
  • Zero unsafe changes labeled OTA-safe

ReleasePilot is advisory by default and does not deploy applications or execute untrusted pull-request code.
