Use this skill once the chore: roll driver to 1.X.0 PR has merged into main and the upstream JS v1.X.0 is published. The rolling work itself is covered by the [[playwright-roll]] skill.

Throughout this doc, replace X with the minor version (e.g. 60 for 1.60.0) and <user> with the fork owner (gh api user --jq .login).

The full release checklist lives in the private microsoft/playwright-internal repo as the v1.X checklist issue. Find its number once:

unset GITHUB_TOKEN
ISSUE=$(gh search issues --repo microsoft/playwright-internal "v1.X checklist" --json number --jq '.[0].number')

Tick each Java box incrementally (one PATCH per item) so the issue reflects accurate state if the flow is interrupted:

gh api repos/microsoft/playwright-internal/issues/$ISSUE --jq '.body' > /tmp/body.md
# edit /tmp/body.md to flip "- [ ]" → "- [x]" on the relevant Java item
gh api repos/microsoft/playwright-internal/issues/$ISSUE -X PATCH --field body=@/tmp/body.md
