Error message

repo is required

What it means

Thrown by publishCompleteDraftReleases in config/scripts/publish-complete-draft-releases.mjs when the `repo` option is falsy. The function needs the `{owner}/{name}` slug to build every GitHub API URL (list releases, verify assets, PATCH a draft), so an empty repo makes all downstream calls meaningless. The guard at line 84-85 runs before any network call.

Solutions

1. Pass a `{owner}/{name}` repo slug, e.g. `publishCompleteDraftReleases({ repo: 'stablyai/orca', token })`.
2. In the CLI path, ensure GITHUB_REPOSITORY is set or unset (it defaults to 'stablyai/orca').
3. Forward the repo from your caller rather than relying on an implicit default.

Example fix

// before
await publishCompleteDraftReleases({ token })

// after
await publishCompleteDraftReleases({ repo: 'stablyai/orca', token })

if (!repo || !/^.+\/.+$/.test(repo)) {
  throw new Error(`publishCompleteDraftReleases needs an {owner}/{name} repo slug, got: ${String(repo)}`)
}

function isRepoSlug(value) {
  return typeof value === 'string' && /^[-.\w]+\/.+$/.test(value)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Call `publishCompleteDraftReleases({ token })` (no repo), or call it with `repo: ''` / `repo: undefined`. When run via main(), repo defaults to `process.env.GITHUB_REPOSITORY || 'stablyai/orca'`, so the direct-API path (tests, other scripts) is where this typically fires.

Common situations: A test or downstream script calls the exported function without forwarding GITHUB_REPOSITORY, or a refactor changes the option name. In the CLI path it only triggers if GITHUB_REPOSITORY is explicitly set to an empty string (overriding the 'stablyai/orca' default).
