Summary

• make nightly semantic-release version parsing safe under set -euo pipefail
• keep the existing fallback path working when semantic-release reports no release-worthy commits
• compute the fallback from the latest stable vX.Y.Z git tag directly, with an explicit empty-tag guard

Context

The latest scheduled nightly run failed in get-nightly-version before it reached publishing:

https://github.com/feast-dev/feast/actions/runs/27550581747/job/81435450528

The log showed semantic-release completed successfully but found no release-worthy commits:

There are no relevant changes, so no new version is released.

The workflow already intended to fall back to the next patch after the latest stable tag, but the grep 'The next release version is' pipeline returned no match under set -euo pipefail, so the shell exited before the fallback block could run.

Validation

• parsed .github/workflows/nightly_python_sdk_release.yml with PyYAML
• ran a bash -euo pipefail simulation of the no-release semantic-release output; it now computes 0.64.1 from latest stable tag v0.64.0
• git diff --check
