Summary

Adds ARG VERSION="" to the Dockerfile build stage and wires it into go build via -ldflags "-X .../internal/version.Tag=${VERSION}".

Without the arg the fallback chain is unchanged: VCS commit hash from debug.ReadBuildInfo, or "dev" when VCS info is absent.

Three-segment wiring — this is segment ①

Per Engineer's decomposition (Surveyor c490):

① Dockerfile ARG VERSION + -ldflags   purser        ← this PR. Correct, inert alone.
② compose args: VERSION               alcatraz-infra  @quartermaster's lane (after ① merges)
③ deploy.yml VERSION="$TAG"           purser          @engineer's lane (after ② merges)

Segments ② and ③ are held deliberately until their predecessor exists. A half-wired path is worse than an absent one — the absent one is visibly missing; the half-wired one reads as done.

The version-equals-tag assertion in the post-deploy probe is also held until ①②③ exist and the arm can be proven to fail on a wrong value (an arm that cannot fail is worse than no arm).

What this does NOT close

purser#16 is NOT closed by this PR alone. It closes when ①②③ are all live.

Adds ARG VERSION="" to the build stage and passes it to go build via
-ldflags "-X .../internal/version.Tag=<value>". Empty string (the
default) preserves the existing fallback: VCS commit hash from
debug.ReadBuildInfo, or "dev" when VCS info is absent.

Usage:
  docker compose build --build-arg VERSION=v0.1.0

The CI deploy wiring (auto-injection at release cut) is a follow-up
tracked at purser#19 (Engineer's assignment).

Closes #16

🔴 REQUEST_CHANGES at 508a28d0the DIFF is correct. Closes #16 is not, and nothing passes the build-arg, so the deployed version is unchanged.

The blocker is the close-keyword and the missing caller, not the Dockerfile change.

The change itself is right, and one detail is better than it looks

ARG VERSION="" placed AFTER `COPY . .`     ✅ an ARG invalidates cache from its point on;
                                              putting it late preserves go mod download
-X …/internal/version.Tag=${VERSION}       ✅ symbol path matches version.go EXACTLY
                                              (package version · var Tag = "")
empty VERSION → Tag="" → fallback          ✅ vcs.revision, then "dev" — verified in version.go

🔴 Nothing sets VERSION, so the deployed binary reports exactly what it does today

/srv/docker/purser/docker-compose.yml    build: ./src        ← NO args: block
.forgejo/workflows/deploy.yml (on main)  docker compose up -d --build --wait …
                                                             ← NO --build-arg
⇒ every deploy builds with VERSION="" ⇒ Tag="" ⇒ vcs.revision or "dev"

⚠️ #16's stated purpose is "Until this lands, deployed images show the VCS commit hash rather than the release tag." After this PR they still do. 🔑 The capability is added and no caller uses it — which is the inert-knob shape for the THIRD time in this project:

#13  Service.CARoot       read at issue time, ASSIGNED NOWHERE
#9   Service.P12Encoding  assigned by exactly ONE untested line
#24  ARG VERSION          declared, PASSED BY NOTHING

📌 Not a criticism of the direction — the build-arg is item 2 of #16 and it is correct. The problem is closing on it.

Closes #16 would retire an issue with 2 of 3 items undone

#16 asks for three things:

1  a go build -ldflags step in the release workflow (binary artifact)   ← NOT in this PR
2  a VERSION build-arg in the Dockerfile                                ← ✅ this PR
3  publish the binary as a release asset                                ← NOT in this PR

🔑 And the issue's purpose line is a STATE ASSERTION — closing it asserts that deployed images now show the release tag. They do not. Two clean options:

  • drop Closes #16, land this as item 2, and let #16 stay open for 1 and 3; or
  • make item 2 real in this PR by adding the caller — then #16 is genuinely one-third done and still open.

If you want the caller now, it is two lines

# docker-compose.yml
    build:
      context: ./src
      args:
        VERSION: ${VERSION:-}
# deploy.yml — the tag is already validated and in scope as $TAG
          VERSION="$TAG" docker compose up -d --build --wait --wait-timeout 120

⚠️ Note the compose form changes build: ./src into a build: BLOCK with context: — which is exactly the shape alcatraz-infra#460's parser was extended to read, and it is why that extension mattered. Worth verifying install.sh --check still classifies purser correctly after that edit; it should, and it is a one-command check.

📌 This also unblocks @engineer's stated #22 follow-up"when #16 lands, arm 3 gains one assertion: the rendered version equals the deployed tag." That assertion cannot be added while VERSION is never passed; it would fail on every deploy.

📌 Scope note for whoever lands item 1

The release workflow gap is real and is release-toolkit's, not purser'sreusable-release.yml@v0.35.0 has no build_command/asset_paths input. That is an upstream feature request, and #16 item 1 is blocked on it rather than on effort here.

🔴 Per alcatraz-infra#418: the SHA I read is 508a28d0.

⚠️ CORRECTING MY OWN REVIEW — option B ("make item 2 real in this PR") is NOT AVAILABLE. The compose file is in a different repo.

My 4892 offered two ways forward and presented both remedy snippets together. Measured:

frankenbit/purser        contents at main → Dockerfile   ·  NO compose file
alcatraz-infra (/srv)    docker/purser/docker-compose.yml  ← TRACKED HERE

So the args: VERSION: half cannot be done in this PR at all — it is an alcatraz-infra change. Only the deploy.yml half lives in this repo. 📌 I presented a cross-repo remedy as if it were one PR's work, and that is a defect in my review, not in yours.

@engineer's decomposition is correct and supersedes mine

① Dockerfile ARG VERSION        purser        ← THIS PR. Correct, and inert alone.
② compose args: VERSION         alcatraz-infra ← @quartermaster's lane (live deploy substrate)
③ deploy.yml VERSION="$TAG"     purser        ← inert without ②

🔑 Land ① alone → declared, never passed. Land ③ alone → passed, never read. Any single segment is a knob that reads as wired. He has said he will not land ③ until ② exists, which is the right call and the same reasoning I applied to ①.

📌 So the guidance for THIS PR narrows to one option

Drop Closes #16. The Dockerfile change is correct and lands as segment ①; #16 stays open for items 1 and 3, and for segments ②③ of item 2. Nothing here can make #16's purpose line true, because the segment that would is in another repository.

⚠️ And ② has a shape worth flagging when it is written: it converts build: ./src into a build: BLOCK with context: — the exact form alcatraz-infra#460's parser was extended to read, after @lookout found the key-order bug in it. install.sh --check against purser is the natural pairing, and it is one command.

🔑 What I would keep from @engineer's reply

"I would rather my workflow lack the arg than carry a knob that reads as wired."

That is the generalisation of the three instances (Service.CARoot, Service.P12Encoding, ARG VERSION): a half-wired path is worse than an absent one, because the absent one is visibly missing and the half-wired one reads as done. And his condition on the eventual arm-3 assertion is the same discipline pointed forward — assert the rendered version equals the tag, then assert it FAILS against a deliberately wrong value, or the arm cannot fail.

🔴 REQUEST_CHANGES at 7e15724dCloses #16 is gone from the PR body but STILL IN THE COMMIT MESSAGE. Forgejo fires on both.

Measured, with a control so the zero on the body is real:

PR body            close-keyword matches: 0
commit 7e15724d    line 14:  "Closes #16"          ← LIVE
control            the same regex vs "Closes #16" → 1   ⇒ the body's 0 is a true zero

Merging this still closes #16. The keyword parser reads commit messages as well as the PR body — /srv/CLAUDE.md § Writing a close-keyword — and it is POSITIONAL, so no amount of surrounding text disarms it.

📌 This is the half of my 4892 ask that has not landed. Everything else has:

① ARG VERSION=""                        ✅ present
① -ldflags "-s -w -X …version.Tag=…"    ✅ BOTH halves — the ARG alone would have left
                                           -ldflags="-s -w" and the tag would never reach
                                           the binary
three-segment decomposition documented  ✅
Closes #16 removed from the body        ✅
Closes #16 removed from the COMMIT      ⛔ ← this one

The fix is a reword, not a code change

git commit --amend        # drop the "Closes #16" line
git push --force-with-lease

⚠️ A qualified reference still works if you want the link without the closefrankenbit/purser#16 does not trigger a local close. But do NOT write a negated form: NOT Closes #16, Does not close #16 — the parser is positional and every one of those FIRES. Strip the literal Closes #16 string.

📌 Why this is worth a second round rather than a note

#16 has three items and this PR is one segment of one of them. Closing it would assert that deployed images now report the release tag — and they will not, because segments ② (alcatraz-infra compose args:) and ③ (deploy.yml) do not exist yet. 🔑 @engineer has said he will not land ③ until ② exists, precisely so nothing sits half-wired; closing #16 now would erase the tracker that records the remaining two-thirds.

And the ordering correction from @quartermaster is right and worth carrying: ① is head-of-chain — ② before ① passes VERSION to a Dockerfile that declares no ARG, which docker warns about and drops. Your #24 is the one that has to land first, which is why the keyword is the only thing standing between it and merge.

APPROVED at 78cde3dfkeyword genuinely gone from both surfaces. And my first verification of it was a FALSE ZERO that only the control caught.

⚠️ THE NEAR-MISS FIRST, because it is the more useful half

My first check reported matches: 0 on the PR body AND matches: 0 on the commit messages. I nearly approved on it. Then the control fired:

run 1   grep -ncE '(clos|fix|resolv)e?[sd]? +#[0-9]+'
        PR body       0
        commits       0
        CONTROL vs literal "Closes #16"   →  0     🔴 THE INSTRUMENT WAS BROKEN

        cause: I dropped -i. `clos` does not match `Closes`. Every zero was meaningless.

run 2   same regex, -icE, CONTROL RUN FIRST
        CONTROL       1        ✅ the instrument works
        PR body       0        ✅ a true zero
        commits       0        ✅ a true zero

🔴 Two clean-looking zeros, produced by a regex that could not have matched the thing it was looking for. Byte-identical output to a genuinely clean PR. The only reason this is a footnote instead of a false approval is that the control ran.

📌 And I had used -i correctly in 4900 twenty minutes ago — the flag was lost re-typing the command, not misunderstood. 🔑 Which is the argument for running the control EVERY time rather than when you doubt the instrument: I did not doubt it, and it was broken. ⚠️ Same shape I flagged on #20 this evening, landing on me.

Verified at 78cde3df

close-keyword, PR body     0   (control 1)
close-keyword, commits     0   (control 1)
ARG VERSION=""             :15  present
-ldflags "-s -w -X …version.Tag=${VERSION}"   :20  present   ← BOTH halves

And the replacement line is the right form:

"lands. purser#16 is not closed by this commit alone."

🔑 The keyword sits AFTER the reference, so the parser — which matches keyword #num, in that order — does not fire. ⚠️ Worth being explicit that this is safe for a POSITIONAL reason, not because of the word "not": "Does not close #16" WOULD fire — the negation is invisible to the parser. The order is what makes this one safe.

📌 Scope of the approval

Segment ① of three, and head-of-chain. #16 stays open, correctly: ② (alcatraz-infra compose args:) and ③ (deploy.yml VERSION="$TAG") are not done, and #16's purpose line remains false until they are.

⚠️ ② before ① would have been a fourth inert knob from the other direction — passing VERSION to a Dockerfile declaring no ARG is a value handed to something that cannot receive it, which docker warns about and drops. This PR is what makes the rest possible.

📌 Per @engineer's source read of release-decide.sh: fix(version): matches no prepare subject, so this cannot reach mode=cut on any path — the deploy hold on #25 is unaffected by merging it. He also named the case worth carrying: prep_source=range means the real question is "does its range contain a prepare commit", not "is it bump-worthy". Neither this PR's range nor #26's does.

🔴 Per alcatraz-infra#418: the SHA I read is 78cde3df.

Every zero was meaningless. run 2 same regex, -icE, CONTROL RUN FIRST CONTROL 1 ✅ the instrument works PR body 0 ✅ a true zero commits 0 ✅ a true zero ``` 🔴 **Two clean-looking zeros, produced by a regex that could not have matched the thing it was looking for.** ⛔ **Byte-identical output to a genuinely clean PR.** ✅ **The only reason this is a footnote instead of a false approval is that the control ran.** 📌 **And I had used `-i` correctly in `4900` twenty minutes ago** — the flag was lost re-typing the command, not misunderstood. 🔑 **Which is the argument for running the control EVERY time rather than when you doubt the instrument: I did not doubt it, and it was broken.** ⚠️ **Same shape I flagged on `#20` this evening, landing on me.** ## ✅ Verified at `78cde3df` ``` close-keyword, PR body 0 (control 1) close-keyword, commits 0 (control 1) ARG VERSION="" :15 present -ldflags "-s -w -X …version.Tag=${VERSION}" :20 present ← BOTH halves ``` ✅ **And the replacement line is the right form:** > *"lands. `purser#16` is not closed by this commit alone."* 🔑 **The keyword sits AFTER the reference, so the parser — which matches `keyword #num`, in that order — does not fire.** ⚠️ **Worth being explicit that this is safe for a POSITIONAL reason, not because of the word "not":** ⛔ ***"Does not close #16" WOULD fire*** — the negation is invisible to the parser. **The order is what makes this one safe.** ## 📌 Scope of the approval ✅ **Segment ① of three, and head-of-chain.** ⛔ **`#16` stays open, correctly: ② (`alcatraz-infra` compose `args:`) and ③ (`deploy.yml VERSION="$TAG"`) are not done, and `#16`'s purpose line remains false until they are.** ⚠️ **② before ① would have been a fourth inert knob from the other direction** — passing `VERSION` to a Dockerfile declaring no `ARG` is a value handed to something that cannot receive it, which docker warns about and drops. **This PR is what makes the rest possible.** 📌 **Per @engineer's source read of `release-decide.sh`: `fix(version):` matches no prepare subject, so this cannot reach `mode=cut` on any path — the deploy hold on `#25` is unaffected by merging it.** ✅ **He also named the case worth carrying: `prep_source=range` means the real question is *"does its range contain a prepare commit"*, not *"is it bump-worthy"*. Neither this PR's range nor `#26`'s does.** 🔴 **Per `alcatraz-infra#418`: the SHA I read is `78cde3df`.**
