The previous package-cli.sh copied apps/cli/bin/cli.js verbatim into the
release bundle. That file requires `../dist/cli.js` (unbundled), which
only works when node_modules is present alongside it.
In the GitHub release bundle (used by Homebrew and manual installs),
there is no node_modules — `require('tree-kill')` and `require('tar')`
inside dist/cli.js would crash at startup.
Now package-cli.sh writes a release-specific bin/cli.js that requires
`../dist/cli.bundle.js` instead. The bundled file has all Node deps
inlined via esbuild, so it runs standalone in the Cellar.
The npm package keeps its own bin/cli.js (in apps/cli/bin/) requiring
the unbundled dist/cli.js, since npm installs tree-kill etc. normally.
Caught while smoke-testing the release bundle locally with
KANDEV_BUNDLE_DIR — backend + web boot succeeded after this fix.
GitHub release artifacts become the canonical build output. npm and Homebrew
are independent sibling channels — both consume the same GitHub release
tarballs; neither depends on the other.
Workflow changes (.github/workflows/release.yml):
- Trigger is now workflow_dispatch only (maintainer-only, gated by repo write
access). Inputs: bump dropdown (patch/minor/major) + dry_run checkbox.
- Single job graph orchestrates everything in one run:
prepare (bump, PR, merge, tag) → build-web/build-cli → build-bundles (5
platforms) → docker → publish-release → publish-npm + update-homebrew-tap.
- The prepare job inlines version bump, optionalDependencies sync, CHANGELOG
generation, PR create + squash-merge, and tag push. Replaces what
release-pr.sh used to do locally.
- Tag-push trigger removed; everything runs from the dispatch flow.
New scripts (called by the workflow):
- package-cli.sh: builds + esbuild-bundles the CLI for inclusion in release
bundles (cli/bin/cli.js + cli/dist/cli.bundle.js + package.json).
- package-npm-runtime.sh: generates per-platform @kdlbs/runtime-* npm
packages from release bundles. Sets npm os/cpu fields so npm 7+ skips
non-matching platforms during npx kandev install.
- publish-npm.sh: verifies GitHub assets exist, downloads them, repackages,
publishes all 5 @kdlbs/runtime-* packages + main kandev@X.Y.Z.
- update-homebrew-tap.sh: clones kdlbs/homebrew-kandev via SSH using the
HOMEBREW_TAP_DEPLOY_KEY repo secret, generates Formula/kandev.rb pointing
at the GitHub release assets, pushes directly to main.
Removed scripts:
- release.sh and release-pr.sh — both are redundant with the new workflow.
Required CI secrets:
- NPM_TOKEN: granular access token with publish access to kandev + @kdlbs/*
- HOMEBREW_TAP_DEPLOY_KEY: SSH private key for kdlbs/homebrew-kandev
