Refresh Arm Sdk Release

Step 1: Create Branch

• Fetch latest origin/main.
• Create a new branch from origin/main.
• Use a branch name that identifies package and date.

Step 2: Determine API Version Source in Order

• Check metadata.json in the package root.
• If present, use apiVersions value.
• If metadata.json is missing, check src/autorest.md for an uncommented tag.
• If tag is missing there, use the require value in src/autorest.md to open the referenced readme.md and read tag under Basic Information.

Step 3: Decide SDK Versioning Mode

• If API version source indicates preview, use beta flow.
• Otherwise use stable flow.

Step 4: Update CHANGELOG.md

• Confirm the newest heading exists and has the latest package version.
• During release finalization, replace Unreleased with current date using yyyy-mm-dd.
• For stable flow only, increment patch version from latest stable release.
• Remove empty sections under the latest entry when present:
  • Features Added
  • Breaking Changes
  • Bugs Fixed
• Under Other Changes, add:
  • Upgraded dependent Azure.Core to 1.X.X.
  • Upgraded dependent Azure.ResourceManager to 1.X.X.
• Resolve these versions from eng/centralpackagemanagement/Directory.Packages.props.

Step 5: Update Project Version for Stable Flow Only

• If stable flow, set Version in src/Azure.ResourceManager.XXX.csproj to the new stable version matching the changelog entry.
• If beta flow, keep beta versioning and do not apply a version bump.

Step 6: Commit, Push, and Create PR

• Commit with a refresh-focused message.
• Push branch to origin.
• Create PR with title format:
  • Prepare release for Azure.ResourceManager.XXX Version 1.x.x
• Include summary of API source decision, refresh changes, and versioning mode.
