Commit the formatting, and stop the release from dirtying its own tree

[brentrager]

What broke

Dropping cargo publish --allow-dirty (#186) surfaced what the flag had been hiding. The 4.5.2 release published to npm and PyPI, then:

error: 1 files in the working directory contain changes that were not yet committed into git:

rust/logger/README.md

to proceed despite this and include the uncommitted changes, pass the `--allow-dirty` flag

crates.io, the Go tag, and NuGet were all skipped.

Where the dirt comes from

release.yml's own Format step. It runs pnpm format, which rewrites files and then never commits them — so cargo publish, a few steps later, is looking at a dirty tree. --allow-dirty existed to shrug that off, which means every crate published from this repo silently carried uncommitted reformatting.

And main really is format-drifted, across seven files:

file	drift
.claude/settings.json	4-space indent vs oxfmt's 2
README.md	94 lines
CHANGELOG.md	8 lines
package.json	devDependencies unsorted, peerDependencies out of position
python/tests/test_otel_correlation.py	ruff
src/Logger.otel.spec.ts	oxfmt
rust/logger/README.md	*errors* → _errors_

Nothing was checking. PR checks run oxlint but never a formatter check, and pnpm format:check did not exist — despite release.yml having had a Format step the whole time.

Fix

1. Commit the formatting. pnpm format is now a no-op on main.
2. Add format:check — oxfmt --check + ruff format --check + cargo fmt --check + gofmt -l — and run it in PR checks so this cannot drift again.
3. release.yml's Format → Format check. Check, never rewrite. A release pipeline that mutates the tree and discards the result is precisely what made --allow-dirty look necessary.

The part that would have bitten again next release

changeset version writes CHANGELOG.md and package.json, and oxfmt wants both formatted differently from what changesets emits. Without handling that, the very next release PR lands unformatted, its format:check goes red, and cargo publish --locked breaks all over again. So the version lifecycle now ends with oxfmt --write CHANGELOG.md package.json, inside the same command whose output changesets/action commits:

"version": "changeset version && node scripts/sync-versions.mjs && oxfmt --write CHANGELOG.md package.json"

Verification

• pnpm format:check → exit 0 on this branch.
• Hand-broke it twice — trailing whitespace in rust/logger/README.md, and mangled import spacing in src/Logger.otel.spec.ts — and confirmed exit 1 both times, then green again after pnpm format.
• node scripts/check-versions.mjs → OK at 4.5.2; vitest 89 passing; go test ./... ok.

After this merges

The 4.5.2 release needs finishing: npm and PyPI have it, crates.io / the Go tag / NuGet do not. Merging this makes the tree clean, and re-running the Release workflow will publish the remainder.
