Description
Summary
Add a multi-track mode that lets one run manage different CPython minor tracks per path (e.g., libraries stay on 3.12 while services move to 3.13), while keeping single-track behavior as the default.
Why
Enterprises often run multiple Python tracks simultaneously. Today the action forces a single track
per run and bails out when multiple tracks are detected. A controlled multi-track mode would unblock those workflows without losing safeguards.
What needs to happen
- Introduce configuration (
multi_track: true
or similar) plus a way to map directories/globs to target tracks. - Adjust detection to respect per-path track assignments and avoid the current multi-track guardrail when enabled.
- Update change matrix, branch naming, and PR copy to make the per-track upgrades clear.
- Add thorough tests covering multiple tracks, misconfigurations, and fallback to single-track safety.
- Document the feature and risks, emphasizing the default remains single-track.
References
- Roadmap policy/multi-track item: "Multi-track mode".
Acceptance criteria
- Users can declare multiple tracks and see separate updates applied per mapping.
- When disabled, current safety checks remain unchanged.
- Tests and docs explain configuration and expected outputs.
