Please describe the work

All Auro repositories need to follow a consistent build and release process. Currently, this process is slightly different from one component to the next.

Task Breakdown

• Outline current build/release process
• Determine what the ideal build/release process

Thoughts and opinions

Overall this process is okay but it glosses over the fact that there's almost a dozen build and build:* scripts in the package json that are all very important for each component. This is really hard to understand for me as a new-ish engineer to the Auro space, and seems fairly unmaintainable moving forward.

There's a couple instances of duplicated efforts/processing but overall it's not too bad. The BIGGEST issue I see here is the conditional check for merging to main is only ever run once on main by default. This could cause major headaches managing large changes since there could be many things that remain uncaught until they're already in main.

Finally, the convention in almost every JavaScript packages these days is to have maybe 5 scripts a developer should care about. Again following convention, these are dev, serve/start (for production mode locally), build, test, and lint - optionally a sixth could be typecheck if TypeScript is present and a separate check is desired. Having multiple build scripts can create confusion since a new developer doesn't immediately know which one they need to care about.

Proposals

• Borealis uses wireit tool to run workflows that have dependencies on multiple package json scripts - https://github.com/google/wireit
• Leverage upcoming changes to auro-library to seed repositories with "macro" style scripts that automatically handle build steps like generating documentation somehow
