Move the tag-triggered release pipeline from .gitea/workflows to .github/workflows for github.com/ELY-Open-Source/Kigi-CLI: - ubuntu-latest (x86_64 linux), ubuntu-24.04-arm (native aarch64 linux), macos-latest (both darwin targets), windows-latest (msvc). - gh release with GITHUB_TOKEN keeps the draft -> per-target upload -> SHA256SUMS -> publish ordering and the kigi-<version>-<triple> asset names. - upload/download-artifact v4 for the checksum lines. - docs/RELEASE.md: GitHub runner layout replaces the Gitea runner setup.

# Release checklist (PRD F8)
|
|
|
|
Kigi ships as a single-file binary for five targets, published on this
|
|
repo's GitHub Releases
|
|
(<https://github.com/ELY-Open-Source/Kigi-CLI/releases>) by
|
|
`.github/workflows/release.yml`. Users install via `install.sh` /
|
|
`install.ps1` and stay current through the in-app self-updater
|
|
(`kigi-update`), which resolves the same Releases API.
|
|
|
|
## Cutting a release
|
|
|
|
1. Bump `[workspace.package] version` in `Cargo.toml`; land the change on
|
|
`main` with green CI.
|
|
2. Regenerate the third-party notices (not enforced by CI — this is the
|
|
step that keeps `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md` fresh):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cargo install cargo-about --locked # once
|
|
cargo about generate about.hbs -o THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Commit the result if it changed.
|
|
3. Tag and push:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin vX.Y.Z
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The tag must equal the workspace version (`vX.Y.Z` ↔ `X.Y.Z`); the
|
|
workflow fails fast on a mismatch.
|
|
4. The `Release` workflow builds all five targets with the hardened
|
|
`release-dist` profile, packages
|
|
`kigi-<version>-<target-triple>.{tar.gz|zip}` archives (binary +
|
|
LICENSE + NOTICE + THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES), generates `SHA256SUMS`, and
|
|
publishes the GitHub Release. Tags containing `-` (e.g.
|
|
`v0.2.0-alpha.1`) publish as pre-releases, which only the `alpha`
|
|
update channel picks up.
|
|
|
|
The release is created as a **draft** and only flipped public once
|
|
`SHA256SUMS` is attached, so `releases/latest` never hands the installer
|
|
a release whose checksum manifest is still missing. A failed run leaves
|
|
the draft in place; re-running the workflow reuses it rather than
|
|
erroring on a duplicate `tag_name`.
|
|
5. Smoke-test an installed artifact:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fsSL https://kigicli.dev/install.sh | sh
|
|
~/.kigi/bin/kigi --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build runners
|
|
|
|
Every leg runs on a GitHub-hosted runner; none needs local state, so no
|
|
self-hosted runner is involved. The repo is public, so keep it that way: a
|
|
self-hosted runner must never be reachable from a `pull_request` event, and
|
|
this workflow only triggers on tag pushes.
|
|
|
|
| Runner | Builds |
|
|
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `ubuntu-latest` | `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` |
|
|
| `ubuntu-24.04-arm` | `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` (native, no cross toolchain) |
|
|
| `macos-latest` | `aarch64-apple-darwin`, `x86_64-apple-darwin` |
|
|
| `windows-latest` | `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` |
|
|
|
|
`macos-latest` is Apple Silicon; `x86_64-apple-darwin` is a cross-compile
|
|
against the same SDK. The Darwin targets need the real Apple linker
|
|
(`.cargo/config.toml` passes `-ObjC` and `-undefined dynamic_lookup`), so they
|
|
cannot move to a Linux runner.
|
|
|
|
`windows-latest` ships the VS Build Tools the static MSVC CRT link needs
|
|
(`ring`, `mimalloc`, `zstd-sys` and `libz-sys` build with
|
|
`-C target-feature=+crt-static`). Every job installs protoc
|
|
(`PROTOC_VERSION`, matching the `bin/protoc` dotslash pin) and runs
|
|
`rustup show` to materialise the `rust-toolchain.toml` pin; the arm64 Linux
|
|
leg installs rustup first if the image lacks it.
|
|
|
|
The release steps use the preinstalled `gh` CLI with `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN`
|
|
(`permissions: contents: write`): `gh release create --draft`, then
|
|
`gh release upload` per target, then `SHA256SUMS` and
|
|
`gh release edit --draft=false`. Only the five checksum lines travel through
|
|
`actions/upload-artifact@v4`; the archives go straight to the release.
|
|
|
|
Build caches come from `Swatinem/rust-cache`. GitHub only lets a tag run
|
|
restore caches made on its own ref or the default branch, and nothing builds
|
|
on `main`, so a tag build starts cold; the cache helps re-runs of the same tag.
|
|
|
|
## Invariants to keep in lockstep
|
|
|
|
- Asset naming `kigi-<version>-<target-triple>.{tar.gz|zip}` and the
|
|
`SHA256SUMS` manifest are consumed by three clients: `install.sh`,
|
|
`install.ps1`, and `auto_update::release_asset_name()` in
|
|
`crates/codegen/kigi-update`. Change one, change all (the kigi-update
|
|
test `test_release_asset_name_matches_release_workflow_naming` pins the
|
|
Rust side).
|
|
- Never publish two builds of the same semver version differing only in
|
|
build metadata (`+…`) — the `semver` crate orders build metadata, so
|
|
auto-update would bounce users between them.
|
|
- Rollbacks: deleting the bad release (or re-pointing "latest") is enough —
|
|
the internal installer treats the Releases API as authoritative and
|
|
downgrades clients on its own.
|
|
- No PyPI/npm packages, ever; in particular never squat the `kimi-cli`
|
|
package name (PRD F8).
