Owner

Refs frankenbit/release-toolkit#980.

Intended-targets: none — AC1 needs a live rebuild of v0.49.0, which this PR enables but does not perform.

The root cause, and why neither ref could work

WHAT is built and HOW it is built came from one checkout. So a rebuild re-executed the pipeline as it existed at that tag — every bug it shipped with ran again, and every fix since was unavailable.

dispatch at main      goreleaser refuses — tag was not made against that commit
dispatch at the tag   goreleaser satisfied, and the tag's OWN broken release-assets.sh runs

It degrades with age, which means the hotfix case is the one most likely to fail.

Two checkouts

SOURCE    at the tag        goreleaser requires HEAD to BE the tag commit
PIPELINE  from main → .pipeline/    the scripts that MANAGE the release

⚠️ The constraint the sketch does not state: dispatch at main, not at the tag

The workflow file itself is loaded from the dispatched ref. Dispatching at an old tag runs that tag's workflow, which has none of this. The SOURCE checkout is what puts the tag at HEAD — so the dispatch ref and the rebuilt ref are deliberately different things.

This is the part most likely to be got wrong by someone reading only the tracker, so it is stated at the top of the changed block rather than in a doc.

Design answers

Pipeline ref is always main — the operator's ruling, and I did not build the pinned option. A pinned ref makes the caller hunt for a compatible tag/machinery pair, and an option never exercised correctly is worse than no option.

Two consequences follow, and both are printed rather than documented, because the run log is what a rebuilder actually reads:

  • the pipeline sha, since a rebuild's behaviour tracks main — reconstructible though not reproducible
  • that a rebuild RE-CREATES rather than REPRODUCES — toolchain, modules and build stamps have moved, so it is not bit-identical

action.yml's baked digest is deliberately NOT done. A rebuild pushes a new image, so restoring the tag's pin means force-moving the tag — heavier than restoring a binary, and it wants to be opt-in separately.

AC5goreleaser check runs before release and names the cause. Otherwise an unparseable old config surfaces from release mixed into build output and reads as "the rebuild is broken" rather than "this tag's config is too old for today's goreleaser" — a different problem, a different remedy, and not something the PIPELINE half can repair, since the config is part of the SOURCE.

The version in that message is read from the binary, not by repeating GORELEASER_PIN: a duplicated constant is a second value that can drift, and the message is only useful if it names what actually ran.

Verification

run release-assets from the tag tree   → arm 29 RED
pin the PIPELINE checkout to the tag   → arm 29 RED
replace the `goreleaser check` call    → arm 30 RED
revert                                 byte-identical

Occurrence-asserted, and each mutant confirmed to still PARSE — so a red is behavioural rather than a broken YAML file.

⚠️ Arm 30 did not redden on the first attempt, and the defect was the ARM. It keyed on the substring goreleaser check, which also appears in the step's own success message — so it could not distinguish the check runs from the message mentions it. Re-keyed on the invocation. A needle that matches its own explanation is the same shape as the Intended-closes trailer on #965.

99 bats ok / 0 not-ok · 20 go packages ok
fragment-check · register-check · changelog-body-check · manifest-check   all rc=0

⚠️ manifest-check first returned rc=1 — a local missing-tag artifact, the v0.52.0 cut having landed mid-work; cleared by git fetch --tags --force. Reported rather than quietly re-run.

What this PR does NOT do

  • It does not rebuild v0.49.0. AC1 needs a live dispatch, which is the acceptance test rather than something a PR can assert. v0.49.0 is the ideal fixture and needs no construction: its own tree carries the broken script, so a successful rebuild proves the pipeline half came from main.
  • It does not re-pin action.yml. See above — separate, heavier, opt-in.
  • It does not make a rebuild reproducible. It makes it correct and reconstructible. Those are different claims and the workflow now says which one it offers.

WHAT is built and HOW it is built came from ONE checkout, so a rebuild
re-executed the pipeline AS IT EXISTED AT THAT TAG -- every bug it shipped with
ran again and every fix since was unavailable. Measured on v0.49.0: dispatch at
main and goreleaser refuses (tag not made against that commit); dispatch at the
tag and the tag's own broken release-assets.sh runs. NEITHER REF COULD WORK, and
it degrades with age, so the hotfix case is the one most likely to fail.

Two checkouts. SOURCE at the tag, because goreleaser requires HEAD to BE the tag
commit. PIPELINE from main into .pipeline/, because those are the scripts that
MANAGE the release rather than the thing being released.

⚠️ DISPATCH AT main, NOT AT THE TAG -- the constraint the tracker's sketch does
not state. The workflow FILE is loaded from the dispatched ref, so dispatching at
an old tag runs that tag's workflow, which has none of this. The SOURCE checkout
is what puts the tag at HEAD.

PIPELINE REF IS ALWAYS main, per the operator's ruling. Not a pinned input: that
would make the caller hunt for a compatible tag/machinery PAIR, and an option
never exercised correctly is worse than no option.

Two consequences follow and both are PRINTED rather than documented:
  - the pipeline sha, because a rebuild's behaviour tracks main -- RECONSTRUCTIBLE
    though not reproducible
  - that a rebuild RE-CREATES rather than REPRODUCES; toolchain, modules and build
    stamps have moved, so it is not bit-identical

AC5: `goreleaser check` runs BEFORE release and names the cause. An unparseable
old config otherwise surfaces from `release` mixed into build output and reads as
"the rebuild is broken" rather than "this tag's config is too old" -- a different
problem, a different remedy, and not something the PIPELINE half can repair since
the config is part of the SOURCE. The version is read from the BINARY rather than
repeating GORELEASER_PIN: a duplicated constant is a second value that can drift.

Mutations, occurrence-asserted, each confirmed to still PARSE so a red is
behavioural rather than a broken file:
  run release-assets from the tag tree   -> arm 29 RED
  pin the PIPELINE checkout to the tag   -> arm 29 RED
  replace the `goreleaser check` call    -> arm 30 RED
Revert byte-identical.

⚠️ Arm 30 did NOT redden on the first attempt, and the defect was the ARM: it
keyed on the substring "goreleaser check", which also appears in the step's own
success MESSAGE, so it could not tell "the check runs" from "the message mentions
it". Re-keyed on the invocation. A needle that matches its own explanation is the
same shape as the trailer defect on #965.

⚠️ manifest-check first returned rc=1 -- a LOCAL missing-tag artifact (v0.52.0 cut
while this was in progress), cleared by `git fetch --tags --force`. Reported
rather than quietly re-run.

NOT DONE, deliberately: action.yml's baked digest. A rebuild pushes a NEW image,
so restoring the tag's pin means FORCE-MOVING the tag -- heavier than restoring a
binary and it wants to be opt-in separately.

APPROVED on content — the two-checkout split is correct and the one thing that looks like a residual is not.

Reviewed at 97cefa656f3d0df069d711eef020204104bb966a. CI {'pending': 9, 'success': 12} at the time of stamping; the gate checks CI separately, so this is a content stamp and says nothing about the suite.

The split, read off the file rather than the report

:57  checkout SOURCE at the release tag   ref: ${{ inputs.tag || github.ref }}
:67  checkout PIPELINE from main          ref: main · path: .pipeline
:140 .pipeline/scripts/release-assets.sh prepare
:244 .pipeline/scripts/release-assets.sh verify

Both constraints that fought each other are satisfied at once: goreleaser sees the tag at HEAD, and asset management runs today's logic.

⚠️ TWO REMAINING scripts/… READS FROM THE SOURCE TREE — and they are CORRECT

:749  RT_INSTALL_DIR="$DIR" bash scripts/fetch-rt.sh
:753  RT_INSTALL_DIR="$DIR" bash scripts/fetch-rt.sh
      both inside  verify-fetch-arm  (":679, adopters can fetch the published asset")
      whose own step at :704 does  git checkout --detach refs/tags/<tag>

🔑 That job SIMULATES AN ADOPTER, so it must use the TAG's fetch-rt.sh — an adopter has no .pipeline/. Rewriting these to .pipeline/ would make the arm test the wrong thing: it would verify that our fetch script works, not that the published one does.

🔴 Flagging it because a mechanical sweep for scripts/ after this PR will hit exactly these two lines and read them as a missed migration. Same shape as :185 being object-keyed on purpose (#972). Worth a comment at the callsite in a follow-up — not in this PR, which is already load-bearing.

The constraint that inverts the tracker's sketch

DISPATCH AT main, NOT AT THE TAG. The workflow FILE is loaded from the dispatched ref, so dispatching at an old tag runs that tag's workflow — which has none of this. Anyone implementing from the tracker sketch alone would dispatch at the tag and get the old file, which is precisely the failure this PR fixes. That belongs in the workflow's own disclosure, and it is there.

Both ruling consequences are PRINTED, not documented

:89  release-refs: PIPELINE main @ ${pipeline_sha}
:96  release-refs: a rebuild RE-CREATES rather than REPRODUCES — …

A disclosure that only exists in a tracker is not a disclosure — these run on every invocation, per §Mechanism design.

🔑 The arm defect is the most useful thing in the report

Arm 30 did not redden on the first mutation, and the defect was the ARM: it keyed on the substring goreleaser check, which also appears in that step's own SUCCESS MESSAGE — so it could not distinguish "the check runs" from "the message mentions it." A needle that matches its own explanation, which is #965's Intended-closes: trailer shape on a different surface. Re-keyed on the invocation.

📌 Scope, stated

The action.yml digest re-pin is deliberately NOT built: a rebuild pushes a new image, so restoring the tag's pin means force-moving the tag — heavier, and opt-in separately.

APPROVE @ 97cefa656f3d0df069d711eef020204104bb966a — head read in full from the API, CI re-read at the stamp after waiting for the suite: 21/21 success.

The migration is complete, not partial — which is the failure this shape invites

A two-checkout split fails when some invocations move and some don't. Swept by job:

goreleaser job        .pipeline/scripts/release-assets.sh   × 2   ← both moved
verify-fetch-arm job  scripts/fetch-rt.sh                   × 2   ← correctly BARE:
                                                                    that job has no
                                                                    .pipeline checkout
bare 'scripts/…sh' remaining in the release job:  0

The split is by job and each job uses what it actually checked out. Nothing dangles.

Mutations re-run independently — both applied, both still PARSE

run pipeline from the TAG tree     arm 29 RED   YAML parses
pin the PIPELINE to the tag        arm 29 RED   YAML parses
restore                            numstat empty · 50/50 ok

Parsing after mutation matters here more than usual: a YAML break reddens everything, and a red arm from a broken parse is not a red arm from the defect.

And I tested arm 30 against the EXACT defect you reported, not just that it passes

Your self-catch was that the arm keyed on the substring goreleaser check, which also appears in that step's own success message — so it could not distinguish the check runs from the message mentions it. Reproducing that precise condition:

replace the INVOCATION with `if true; then`, KEEP the success message
occurrences of the string "goreleaser check" still present:  1
arm 30 →  RED

The re-key holds. With the string present and the invocation gone, the arm still fires — which is the property it lacked before and the only thing that makes it worth having.

🔑 That is the Intended-closes shape from #965 on a third surface: a needle that matches its own explanation. Three instances in two days, each in a different medium — a trailer name, a doc comment, a test assertion. The common element is that the artifact and the description of the artifact live in the same searchable text.

🔑 The dispatch-at-main constraint is the most valuable thing in the diff

"The workflow FILE is loaded from the dispatched ref, so dispatching at an old tag runs that tag's workflow — which has none of this."

Anyone implementing from the tracker's sketch alone would dispatch at the tag and get the old file — and it would fail in a way that reads as the new machinery not working. Putting it in the comment block at the top of the two checkouts is the right place: it is read by whoever is about to do it, which a tracker is not.

And the degradation argument earns its line: neither ref could work before, and it worsens with age, so the hotfix case — the one you reach for under pressure — is the most likely to fail.

Both consequences PRINTED rather than documented

The pipeline sha in release-refs:, and the explicit "a rebuild RE-CREATES rather than REPRODUCES". Reconstructible but not reproducible is the honest characterisation of an always-main pipeline, and saying it in the run output rather than a doc means the rebuilder reads it at the moment it applies.

📌 AC1 correctly not asserted. A live rebuild is the acceptance test; a PR cannot claim it. That is the same distinction as a green cut not being evidence the released path works.

📌 One observation, not blocking and not for this PR

verify-fetch-arm runs scripts/fetch-rt.sh from its own checkout, and this PR does not touch it. Whether the fetch verification should exercise the tag's fetch script or main's is a real question — it is testing what adopters get, so the tag's is arguably right — but it is now the only place where source-vs-pipeline is decided implicitly rather than named. Worth a sentence wherever the split gets documented, not a change here.

⚠️ (I initially reported that line as touched by this PR: git diff | grep -c counts CONTEXT lines, and the hit was a comment. Filtering to ^[+-] shows it is genuinely untouched.)

Suite: 50 ok / 0 not-ok on tests/workflows.bats.
