A dispatch with -f tag=<any tag> built that tag, and sign then ran the tag's
sign-macos.sh with the Developer ID key unlocked and the notary login in its
environment. Nothing checked the tag: xterm-zerolag-input@0.1.7 would have put
Codeman.dmg on that package's release, and a tag on a commit that never
reached master would have run unreviewed scripts with the secrets.
build and sign now each check their own checkout before anything else runs:
the tag must read codeman@x.y.z (or aicodeman@x.y.z, which a failed rename
leaves) and GitHub's compare of master with the checked-out commit must say
behind or identical. The check is inline, since a script from the checkout
would be the tag's own code. Release's own call (a push, not a dispatch) and
the branch dry run are unchanged.
The header says why a master-only Environment would not close this path, and
release.yml's macos-app job now says that any permission a called job asks
for must be granted there too, or Release fails at startup.

Every Codeman release now carries the Mac app as Codeman.dmg and
Codeman.dmg.sha256, under a name that never changes, so
https://github.com/Ark0N/Codeman/releases/latest/download/Codeman.dmg always
serves the newest app.
.github/workflows/desktop-dmg.yml (workflow_call from Release with
tag codeman@<version>; workflow_dispatch with an optional tag) has three jobs,
so no job that holds a secret runs code from a crate:
- build (macos-26, contents: read, no secret, no cache) runs cargo test --locked
and bundle-macos.sh --universal ad hoc, with CODEMAN_DESKTOP_INSTALLER_URL,
CODEMAN_DESKTOP_INSTALL_BRANCH and SIGN_IDENTITY unset, checks both slices,
the signature and that no test installer URL or branch is baked in, and
uploads the app as a ditto zip.
- sign (macos-26, contents: read) refuses an artifact with an entry outside
Codeman.app, a ".." or a symlink, imports MACOS_CERT_P12 into a keychain under
RUNNER_TEMP with a random password, picks the one Developer ID Application
identity by its hash and checks it belongs to APPLE_TEAM_ID, runs sign-macos.sh
with the Apple ID login and uploads the signed pair as the codeman-dmg
artifact. Its last step deletes the keychain and the decoded .p12 whatever
happened before.
- attach (ubuntu, contents: write, no secret) runs only with a tag, on master
(Release itself, or a rebuild started there) and in Ark0N/Codeman; it uploads
the pair with --clobber and checks that the release's download link, and the
Latest one when this release holds Latest, serve those bytes.
A run without a tag is the dry run: everything but attach.
release.yml reads the Codeman version from changesets' publishedPackages
(published alone is also true for an xterm-zerolag-input-only release) and runs
the macOS app job only for a Codeman release, passing it the five secrets by
name, never secrets: inherit. A new step puts Latest back on the newest
codeman@ release after every publish, so a release that moved only
xterm-zerolag-input no longer takes the badge and breaks the stable link. Both
new steps sit after the retag and only warn on failure, so npm, the tag and the
MCP publish are never held up by them.
desktop-ci.yml checks pull requests and master pushes that touch
packages/desktop: cargo fmt --check, clippy -D warnings, cargo test --locked and
bash -n under macOS's bash 3.2, on macos-26 with a read-only token. Both
workflows pin Rust 1.99.1, what the macos-26 image and the Mac mini ran on
2026-11-08.
docs/releasing.md: step 6 holds a site change that links the app until the DMG
check passes, step 7 names the new job, and a new section covers the secrets,
the check, a dry run, a rebuild and what to do when notarization fails.
actionlint 1.7.12 (with shellcheck 0.11.0) reports nothing on the three
workflows, and master's test/release-notes.test.ts assertions hold on the new
release.yml.
