Brennan Benson 869eb41948 fix(skills): advance the release ledger at the cut so shipped revisions freeze (#10483)
* fix(skills): advance the release ledger at the cut so shipped revisions freeze

#10340 made the released-skill registry a function of the committed ledger
instead of a git tag walk, and #10460 reverted the cut step that advances that
ledger because it violated the #9119 contract (a version-only cut must not
regenerate or stage the content-addressed skill artifacts). Both were right;
the result is a ledger that never advances.

generate-skill-bundle-manifest.mjs:390 derives releasedCount solely from
release-mapping.json and :461 assigns a changed skill releaseRevision =
releasedCount + 1, while :518 protects only committedReleasedCounts[name] —
so index releasedCount is unprotected. A tag ships that tail revision, nothing
records it, and the next skill change rebuilds the same revision number over
different bytes. Installs carrying the shipped digest then match no snapshot
and degrade to unrecognized, which cannot be updated.

Restore the advance in a form the #9119 contract can keep enforcing:
--release now verifies that current-manifest.json and snapshot-registry.json
already match the ref being tagged, appends the mapping row, and writes only
release-mapping.json. The cut stages just that file, so it still cannot move a
content-addressed artifact — the failure #9119 guarded against — and now fails
loudly instead of recording a revision the tag does not ship.

The contract test is narrowed to match: it asserts the cut runs --release
(never --write) and stages exactly package.json and release-mapping.json.

* test(release-cut): close the staging bypasses the narrowed gate left open

The narrowed contract test anchored its `git add` scan to line start and
only inspected staged paths, so three ways to reintroduce #9119 stayed
green: a `git add` chained after `&&`, a write that never calls `git add`
at all, and `pnpm run generate:skill-bundle-manifest` — the package.json
alias for `--write`, which the hyphenated ban never matched. That last one
also passed the pre-#10460 assertions, so it was never covered.

Drop the anchor, require every `resources/skills` mention in the step to
be exactly what is staged, and ban the alias and `commit -a`. Comments are
stripped first so prose cannot trip a ban. Verified each bypass fails and
the real workflow passes.

* fix(release-cut): make the new provenance failure actionable to an operator

Verifying the content-addressed artifacts is the only new way the cut can
block, and it fails inside a step named "Bump package.json and tag" with a
lint-shaped message. That names the files and the command but not the two
things the operator needs: the regeneration has to land on main, and the
cut is safe to re-run afterwards. Say so.

Also pin down why assertReleasedHistoryPreserved takes the pre-append
mapping. It pairs with artifacts.releasedSnapshotCounts, which seeding
fixed before the row existed; handing it the post-append mapping makes
every cut throw "Released snapshot history is incomplete", which points
at tag fetching rather than the real cause. Nothing enforces the pairing.

* test(release-cut): gate the whole cut job, not just the bump step

Round-2 review defeated the previous gate twice, both proved by running
the full contract file green with #9119 reintroduced.

Every step in the cut job shares one workspace and one index, but the
contract test only inspected `Bump package.json and tag`. A step inserted
earlier could run --write and `git add resources/skills`, and the bump
step's own commit swept it into the version commit and the tag. Assert
job-wide instead: only the bump step may name the directory, and no step
may regenerate under either the flag or its package.json alias. That lives
in the generator suite because the contract file is at its max-lines cap.

Two regexes were also evadable. The mention scan required a trailing
slash, so a path held in a variable was invisible; it now matches the
directory itself. The `commit -a` ban matched nothing at all — `commit\s`
ate the only separator, so `-a`, `-am`, and `--all` all survived while
only a trailing `-a` was caught. `--allow-empty` stays allowed.

* fix(release-cut): assert the index, not the workflow text, before committing

Round-3 review defeated the job-wide grep three ways, each proved by
running both test files green with #9119 reintroduced into the tagged
commit: an `env:` block holding `--write` and `resources/skills`, a
composite action whose steps the workflow never spells out, and plain
shell concatenation (`root=resources; leaf=skills`).

Grepping shell source for path literals is inherently evadable, and the
previous fix only relocated round-2's variable-indirection hole one step
over. Move the invariant to where it cannot be dodged: immediately before
committing, the cut diffs its own index and refuses anything that is not
package.json or the release-mapping row. That does not care which step
staged what, or how the path was spelled.

The workflow grep stays as a cheap tripwire for literal spellings, now
paired with a positive assertion that the index guard exists and precedes
the commit — indirection cannot hide a missing guard. Mention matching
dedupes and trims quotes, since the guard names the row a second time.

* fix(release-cut): match the staged-path allowlist literally

`grep -vx` treats its patterns as regexes, so the `.` in `package.json`
matched any character: a staged `packageXjson` or a
`resources/skills/release-mappingXjson` was silently accepted by the
index guard. Verified both slip through `-vx` and are caught by `-vxF`.

Exercised the guard against a legitimate cut, an empty index, a staged
content-addressed artifact, paths containing a space and a non-ASCII
character (git quotes the latter, so it fails closed), and a staged
deletion. Only the two allowed paths pass.

* test(release-cut): assert the index guard aborts, not just that it exists

The positive assertion pinned the guard's shape and its position before
the commit, but not its effect: replacing `exit 1` with `:` left both
test files green while the cut logged the error and shipped the artifact
anyway. That is the same failure this whole gate keeps having — asserting
the shape of a defense rather than what it does.

Pin the abort too. Verified the neutered guard now fails the suite.

* test(release-cut): scope the abort check and catch clustered commit flags

Two holes in the guards this PR added, both in the same shape-not-effect
class the previous commit was meant to close.

The abort assertion's lazy match was not scoped to the guard's own block,
so it could borrow an `exit 1` from any later `if ... fi` in the step.
Degrading the guard to a warning while adding a plausible HEAD
precondition left every test green. Stop the match at the guard's `fi`.

The `commit -a` ban only matched when `a` led the flag cluster, so `-vam`,
`-va`, `-qam` and `-sam` all survived. That matters more than it looks:
`commit -a` stages at commit time, after the index guard has already
inspected a clean index, so it is the one way to defeat that guard. Match
`a` anywhere in a short-flag cluster; `--allow-empty` and `--amend` stay
allowed. Verified both mutants now fail.

* fix(release-cut): validate the commit, not the index, before tagging

The index guard asserted the wrong thing. `git commit` has a family of
forms that commit the working tree rather than the index — `-a`, `-i`,
`--only`, and a bare pathspec — so a rogue earlier step could leave
regenerated artifacts unstaged and any of those forms would carry them
into the tagged commit while the guard saw a clean index and passed.
Reproduced end to end: `git commit -i resources` put current-manifest.json
and snapshot-registry.json in the tag with all gates green, and
`--only resources` additionally dropped package.json from the tag.

Banning those flags one by one is the same enumeration game the earlier
rounds kept losing. Assert the outcome instead: after committing and
before tagging, diff-tree HEAD and refuse anything that is not
package.json or the release-mapping row. That is indifferent to which
step staged what and to how the commit was spelled.

Verified the whole family is now blocked (-i, --only, -a, -am, -vam,
pathspec, and an alias expanding to `commit -i`), that a stock commit and
an --allow-empty re-cut still pass, and that deleting, neutering,
un-anchoring, or relocating the guard each fails the suite.

* fix(release-cut): make the commit guard fail closed on a merge commit

Plain `git diff-tree` prints nothing for a merge commit, so the guard
would have passed silently instead of failing closed — the one direction
that matters on a release path. `-m --first-parent` reports the diff
against the first parent; verified byte-identical output for an ordinary
commit and still empty for the `--allow-empty` re-cut, so nothing else
changes. Not reachable today (nothing in the cut job creates a merge, and
npm version has no lifecycle hooks defined), but the failure mode is a
guard that looks like it ran.

Pin the flags in the assertion too, so neither dropping -m nor slipping in
a `--diff-filter` can weaken it without failing the suite.

name: Cut Release
# Why: single entry point for manually cutting releases.
# Replaces the old local `pnpm release:*` scripts and the standalone scheduled
# RC workflow so releases are always reproducible from CI and can never be
# accidentally tagged against an uncommitted or non-main working tree.
#
# Flow:
# 1. Resolve `ref` to a SHA.
# 2. Read the latest stable release from GitHub.
# 3. Compute the next version from `kind` (rc | patch | minor | major).
# 4. For stable kinds, REFUSE if the new version is <= the latest stable.
# This is the only guard electron-updater actually needs — it compares
# semver within a channel, so a regressing "latest" is the one thing
# that breaks auto-update for fresh installs.
# 5. Write package.json, commit (detached), tag, push tag.
# 6. If ref was the tip of origin/main, fast-forward main to include the
# version-bump commit so developers see the right version locally.
# 7. Build and publish artifacts from the tag.

# Latest stable release tag, picked by *tag shape* and semver max:
# - must start with `v<digit>` (desktop convention, e.g. v1.3.32)
# - must NOT contain `-rc.` (not a prerelease)
#
# Why not the GitHub `isPrerelease` flag: electron-builder's publish
# step has flipped that flag back to `false` on RC releases before
# (v1.3.22-rc.2 on 2026-04-27 briefly became "latest" on GitHub and
# poisoned the math here). Tag format is authoritative.
#
# Why the `^v[0-9]` prefix: other products shipped from this repo
# use their own prefixes (e.g. `mobile-v0.0.1`). Without the prefix
# gate the latest mobile release would be selected as "latest
# stable", then `strip_pre()` would reduce `mobile-v0.0.1` to
# `mobile`, `Number("mobile")` → NaN → 0, and a patch-bump would
# produce `0.0.1` — exactly the wedge on 2026-05-04 (run
# 25304336767). Any non-desktop tag shape must be excluded here.
#
# Why not `gh release list` order: GitHub can list a newer published
# stable after older releases. On 2026-06-04, v1.4.44 existed but
# the list returned v1.4.42 first, causing a manual RC cut to reopen
# the already-shipped 1.4.43 series as v1.4.43-rc.0.

# Orphan-tag recovery.
#
# Why: if a previous cut pushed the tag but was cancelled (or the
# dependent release build jobs otherwise failed to start) before the
# GitHub Release was published, the tag now exists on the remote
# but "latest stable" still points at the prior version. Every
# subsequent patch cut then recomputes the same version and dies
# on "Tag already exists." This exact sequence wedged the cut
# pipeline on 2026-05-01 when v1.3.26 was pushed by a cancelled
# run (25237882049) — every patch cut after that rehit the same
# tag for hours until the orphan release was dispatched by hand.
#
# Recovery policy: if the tag exists AND no GitHub release has
# been published for it (draft-or-absent both count as "not
# shipped"), treat this as a resumable state: emit the existing
# tag as the job output so the downstream release build jobs run
# against it and finishes what the earlier attempt started. The
# bump/commit/push steps are skipped in that case — there is
# nothing to bump; the tag is already on the remote.
#
# Refuse collisions only when the tag *and* a published release
# already exist — that's a real conflict (someone tagged manually
# over a shipped version) and needs human attention.

# Why this step exists: electron-builder's CopyElevateHelper re-copies a
# pristine elevate.exe from its download cache over resources\elevate.exe
# on EVERY nsis pack — including the --prepackaged rebuild below — which
# clobbered the SignPath signature in v1.4.129-rc.4. There is no supported
# way to disable just the copy, so we overwrite the cache's copy with our
# signed one (identical bytes plus signature) so the clobber becomes a
# no-op. Known quirk: the cache persists across releases via actions/cache,
# so later runs may see elevate.exe as already signed and skip staging it —
# that is fine (the signature is timestamped) and the evidence gate checks
# elevate.exe in the shipped installer unconditionally. If this ever causes
# trouble, delete this step; the only effect is elevate.exe shipping
# unsigned again, which the evidence gate will flag.

# Why post-publish for Linux: electron-builder packs and uploads in a

# point between pack and upload without splitting those steps. Running
# verify last still blocks the bad release: the binary is uploaded to the
# draft, but a failed matrix job blocks `publish-release` from flipping
# the release from draft → published, so users never see it. A human then
# deletes the draft and re-cuts.
#
# Why this guards against: a misconfigured CI run where
# `ORCA_POSTHOG_WRITE_KEY` is unset or the tag fails to classify
# would otherwise produce a binary with `BUILD_IDENTITY = null` and
# `WRITE_KEY = null`, which silently disables transport
# (`IS_OFFICIAL_BUILD === false`) — the exact failure mode flagged
# in PR #1385's deferred follow-up.
