Walkthrough

The release utility now reads package name and version from build metadata and reads the repository URL from Git. The mandatory Python checks job installs python3-build.

Changes

Package metadata lookup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Use build metadata and Git remote release_management/_utils.py	get_python_package_info uses project_wheel_metadata for the package name and version, verifies the name, and obtains the repository URL with Git.
Install build dependency .github/workflows/main.yml	The mandatory python-checks job installs python3-build before lint checks.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 18871

Releases and artifact generation fail for common SSH Git remotes, and release environments lacking build cannot start the release command. Resolve these release-path regressions before merging.

In `@release_management/_utils.py`:
- Line 122: Update get_python_package_info to normalize scp-like origin URLs
such as git@github.com:org/repo.git into a URL form that urlparse can interpret
with a GitHub netloc before validating the parsed remote. Preserve existing
handling for standard URL-form remotes and ensure Python release and artifact
callers accept both formats.
- Line 30: Add the Python build package to the dependency installation used by
release commands, ensuring release_management/create_release.py can import
release_management/_utils and its build.util dependency before argument parsing.

We are better off expecting the user to specify their gitrepo via the existing option in the general case. I kind of want to make what was formerly an option mandatory actually. Is it really so safe to rely on the current git context in which you do your daily work, which is different? I kind of think not.
