Code Review: fix: trigger new release

Thanks @louib! This is a straightforward release-trigger PR.

Context

Looking at the recent commit history, this PR will release the following dependency updates that were merged to master:

PR Changes
#14 glob removed, npm 11.6.2 → 11.6.4
#15 tar removed, npm 11.6.2 → 11.6.4
#13 glob removed, semantic-release 24.2.0 → 25.0.2
#12 js-yaml 4.1.0 → 4.1.1

Observations

  1. Empty PR: No file changes - this is an empty commit specifically to trigger semantic-release, which is a valid pattern.

  2. Commit message format: The fix: prefix should trigger a patch version bump via semantic-release (assuming conventional commits configuration).

Suggestion

For future releases, you could alternatively:

  • Use chore: release or similar if you don't want this to appear as a "fix" in the changelog
  • Or add a [skip changelog] directive if supported

That said, since this bundles dependency updates including security-related ones (npm, tar, glob), having it show as a fix in the changelog is perfectly reasonable.

Recommendation: Approve

Simple and effective way to cut a release with the recent dependency updates.

@victorcheong408 did you write that comment yourself?

For future releases, you could alternatively:

  • Use chore: release or similar if you don't want this to appear as a "fix" in the changelog

This is not going to work. chore does not trigger a new release, which is why I'm using fix in that case. Have a look at the semantic release runbook for the list of keywords and their behavior.
