What

Everything needed to cut a public v1.0.0, with nothing tagged or published yet.

  • One release workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml) replaces client-release.yml + server-release.yml. Pushing a v* tag runs:
    • checks: fmt:check, lint, check, plus tag must equal the package.json version. Every build job depends on it, including CUDA, which used to skip them.
    • server matrix: linux-x64-cpu, linux-arm64-cpu, linux-x64-cuda (Docker). Each one starts the packaged inlay-server, checks /v1/health reports the release version, then tars it and writes and verifies a .sha256.
    • mac (macos-26): imports the Developer ID cert into a throwaway keychain, builds the server, then runs build-app.sh --with-server --dist. That does hardened runtime + entitlements, notarize + staple the app, and sign + notarize + staple the DMG. Then it verifies with spctl/stapler validate. inlay-server-darwin-arm64.tar.gz is cut from the app's notarized bundled server and smoke-checked the same way.
    • publish: the only job with contents: write. Verifies every .sha256, asserts the exact 10-file asset set, and creates the release with notes from docs/releases/<tag>.md. Tags with - become prereleases.
    • Manual dispatch from a tag creates a draft release (default). From a branch it only uploads artifacts. Concurrency is grouped per ref, no cancel.
    • Asset names are unversioned (Inlay.dmg, inlay-server-<platform>.tar.gz), so releases/latest/download/... links in the README stay valid.
  • Packaging fix: build-app.sh --with-server failed codesign ("code object is not signed at all … Helpers/Server/resources/*.txt"). Contents/Helpers is a nested-code location, and the server dir is full of data files. The bundled server now lives at Contents/Resources/Server, with a one-line Swift path change in ModelDownloadManager.swift. The --dist path had the same layout, so it could never have produced a DMG before.
  • Version 1.0.0 everywhere: Info.plist + Info-Dev.plist (1.0.0, build 29) and root package.json. build-server.sh now defaults the server version to package.json, which also fixes CUDA/Docker builds reporting 0.0.0-dev because they have no .git. check-parity.ts fails if the plists and package.json drift.
  • Docs: docs/releases/v1.0.0.md (what Inlay is, DMG + server install, highlights), README Download section + release procedure, Server README release/secrets section, and the parity note in docs/development.md.

Secrets to add (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret)

Secret How to get it
APPLE_DEVELOPER_ID_CERT_P12_BASE64 Keychain Access → export the Developer ID Application cert with its private key as .p12, then base64 -i cert.p12 | pbcopy
APPLE_DEVELOPER_ID_CERT_PASSWORD The password you set on that .p12 export
APPLE_NOTARY_API_KEY_P8_BASE64 App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → Team Keys → generate a key (Developer role is enough), download AuthKey_XXXX.p8, then base64 -i AuthKey_XXXX.p8 | pbcopy
APPLE_NOTARY_API_KEY_ID That key's Key ID
APPLE_NOTARY_API_ISSUER_ID Issuer ID shown on the same page

Or with the CLI: gh secret set APPLE_DEVELOPER_ID_CERT_P12_BASE64 < <(base64 -i cert.p12), and so on.

  • The signing identity is detected from the imported cert, so there's no identity or team-ID secret. The keychain password is random per run, so there's no KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD secret.
  • If the old INLAY_CODESIGN_* / INLAY_NOTARY_* secrets exist, they're unused now and can be deleted.

Cutting the release after merge

git tag v1.0.0 && git push origin v1.0.0

Or run Release from the v1.0.0 tag via workflow_dispatch to get a draft first.

Verification

  • bun run fmt, fmt:check, lint, check (incl. new version parity) pass. actionlint 1.7.12 (with shellcheck) is clean.
  • Locally on macOS 27 / Xcode 27.1: build-server.sh + build-app.sh --with-server produced Inlay.app 1.0.0 (29). codesign --verify --deep --strict passes; before the move it failed.
  • Simulated the --dist signing loops ad hoc (hardened runtime + entitlements). The deep/strict verify passes. Built the DMG with make-dmg.sh and hdiutil verify passes.
  • Ran the workflow's darwin tar + smoke + checksum commands against that hardened build. /v1/health returned {"apiVersion":4,"serverVersion":"1.0.0","ready":false} and shasum -c was OK.
  • Not verified: real Developer ID signing, notarization, stapling, and the Linux/CUDA jobs. Those need the secrets and Actions runners. Also not exercised: the in-app "install bundled server" flow from the new Contents/Resources/Server path in Inlay.app via computer use.

Notes

  • The /v1/health step is a packaging gate in the release workflow, not a test suite. Flagging it because AGENTS.md is strict about "smoke" checks.
  • hdiutil create prints a deprecation warning on macOS 27 but still works. make-dmg.sh is unchanged.

### Issue 1
scripts/build-app.sh:77
When users replace `Inlay.app`, their saved LaunchAgent still points to `Contents/Helpers/Server`, but this build moves the server to `Contents/Resources/Server`. `detect()` sees the existing marker and reports it as installed without updating that path. The server then cannot start after a reboot or restart, and the user must uninstall and set it up again. Rewrite and reload the existing LaunchAgent when adopting the new bundle path.

### Issue 2
.github/workflows/release.yml:295-297
The existing-release branch overwrites files and exits without checking `DRAFT`. A manual rerun of a published tag with the default `draft: true` therefore replaces public downloads instead of keeping the run private. Rerunning an existing draft with `draft: false` does the reverse: it uploads files but leaves the release unpublished. Check the existing release's state before uploading and honor the requested draft state on this branch too.

Summary

This PR prepares version 1.0.0 and combines Mac and Linux publishing into one tag-driven release workflow.

  • One version tag now builds and publishes the app and server packages.
  • The Mac app keeps its bundled server in its Resources folder.
  • The app and server use the same 1.0.0 release version.

Both issues need to be fixed before merging.

T-Rex validation blocked

The macOS upgrade and service-restart flow could not run on this Linux host because Swift, Xcode tools, and launchctl are unavailable; packaging exited at the macOS requirement. Release-state changes could not be exercised because GitHub CLI authentication and an authorized disposable release repository were unavailable. The findings are supported by the code, but neither failure was reproduced end to end.

Walkthrough

The pull request replaces separate client and server release workflows with one version-matched release workflow. It updates app and server packaging paths, release version checks, and documentation for downloads, installation, and releases.

Changes: Versioned client and server release

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release version checks
package.json, Resources/Info*.plist, Server/scripts/check-parity.ts, scripts/build-server.sh, .github/workflows/release.yml
The package and app metadata use version 1.0.0. The parity check compares these versions, the server build reads its default version from package.json, and the workflow checks that a release tag matches the package version.
Client and server packaging
scripts/build-app.sh, Sources/Inlay/System/ModelDownloadManager.swift, .github/workflows/release.yml
The app build stages the bundled server under Contents/Resources/Server, and the runtime lookup uses that path. The workflow builds and health-checks Linux and macOS server packages and the macOS app.
Unified release publishing
.github/workflows/release.yml, .github/workflows/client-release.yml, .github/workflows/server-release.yml, README.md, Server/README.md
The new workflow verifies release assets and checksums, then creates or updates releases for tags. It replaces the separate client and server workflows. The release documentation describes the unified workflow, its assets, and signing steps.
Download and installation guidance
README.md, Server/README.md, docs/releases/v1.0.0.md, docs/development.md
The README and v1.0 release notes provide download, installation, and server setup instructions. The development guide updates its description of CI checks.

Suggested reviewers: cursoragent

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 140a1

Existing local-server installations may fail after an app upgrade, and a missing notes file can waste an entire release build. Address those paths and disable unnecessary checkout credential persistence before merging.

<excerpt>citeturn0search0 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: today; Caches are shared based on the branch or tag a workflow run uses, not on the identity of the workflow or job. ... To limit the risk of cache poisoning, GitHub gives workflows that run in response to low-trust triggers read-only access to caches in the default branch&#39;s scope.

  * Use caching when you want to reuse files that don&#39;t change often between workflow runs, such as dependencies downloaded by a package management system, intermediate build outputs, or other files that are expensive to regenerate. Caching these files can speed up your workflow runs, though a job should always be able to re-download or regenerate these files if a cache isn&#39;t available.
  * Use artifacts when you want to save files produced by a job to use or view after a workflow run has ended, such as built binaries or build logs, or when you want to pass files between jobs in a workflow.

For more information on workflow run artifacts, see Store and share data with workflow artifacts.

## Cache security

Caches are shared based on the branch or tag a workflow run uses, not on the identity of the workflow or job. See Events that trigger workflows and the `GITHUB_REF` for the branch used for various workflow triggers. Any run that can read a cache restores its contents as-is, so you should treat restored files as untrusted input and never store secrets or other sensitive data in a cache.

Untrusted workflows can read sensitive cache contents, such as when a `pull_request` from a fork restores a cache. Poisoned caches can lead to code execution in trusted workflows. To limit the risk of cache poisoning, GitHub gives workflows that run in response to low-trust triggers read-only access to caches in the default branch&#39;s scope. A workflow or job can override this read-only restriction by explicitly declaring a write-capable `cache-mode`, which reintroduces the cache-poisoning risk for that workflow.

For the trusted-versus-low-trust trigger breakdown and default cache behavior, see Dependency caching reference. For cache-specific security guidance, see Dependency caching reference.

<excerpt>citeturn0search1 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: today; Access restrictions provide cache isolation and security by creating a logical boundary between different branches or tags. ... For example, a cache created for the tag `release-a` with the base `main` would not be accessible to a workflow run triggered for the tag `release-b` with the base `main`. ...   * `workflow_dispatch` ...   * To retain the performance benefits of caching on the default branch scope, ensure there is a trusted workflow that keeps the cache updated, for example a CI build triggered by a `push` to the default branch. ... The runner exposes the effective mode in the `ACTIONS_CACHE_MODE` environment variable, and the `actions/cache` action and the `@actions/cache` toolkit honor it.

## Cache key matching

The `cache` action first searches for cache hits for `key` and the cache version in the branch containing the workflow run. If there is no hit, it searches for prefix-matches for `key`, and if there is still no hit, it searches for `restore-keys` and the version. If there are still no hits in the current branch, the `cache` action retries the same steps on the default branch. Please note that the scope restrictions apply during the search. For more information, see Restrictions for accessing a cache.

Cache version is a way to stamp a cache with metadata of the `path` and the compression tool used while creating the cache. This ensures that the consuming workflow run uniquely matches a cache it can actually decompress and use. For more information, see Cache Version in the Actions Cache documentation.

`restore-keys` allows you to specify a list of alternate restore keys to use when there is a cache miss on `key`. You can create multiple restore keys ordered from the most specific to least specific. Gradle, Maven  | setup-java
RubyGems  | setup-ruby
Go `go.sum`  | setup-go
.NET NuGet  | setup-dotnet

## Restrictions for accessing a cache

Access restrictions provide cache isolation and security by creating a logical boundary between different branches or tags. Workflow runs can restore caches created in either the current branch or the default branch (usually `main`). If a workflow run is triggered for a pull request, it can also restore caches created in the base branch, including base branches of forked repositories. For example, if the branch `feature-b` has the base branch `feature-a`, a workflow run triggered on a pull request would have access to caches created in the default `main` branch, the base `feature-a` branch, and the current `feature-b` branch.

Workflow runs cannot restore caches created for child branches or sibling branches. For example, a cache created for the child `feature-b` branch would not be accessible to a workflow run triggered on the parent `main` branch. Similarly, a cache created for the `feature-a` branch with the base `main` would not be accessible to its sibling `feature-c` branch with the base `main`. Workflow runs also cannot restore caches created for different tag names. For example, a cache created for the tag `release-a` with the base `main` would not be accessible to a workflow run triggered for the tag `release-b` with the base `main`.

When a cache is created by a workflow run triggered on a pull request, the cache is created for the merge ref (`refs/pull/.../merge`). Because of this, the cache will have a limited scope and can only be restored by re-runs of the pull request. It cannot be restored by the base branch or other pull requests targeting that base branch.

Multiple workflow runs in a repository can share caches. A cache created for a branch in a workflow run can be accessed and restored from another workflow run for the same repository and branch.

## Cache access for low-trust workflow triggers

Some workflows run in response to events that can be initiated by people who do not have write access to the repository, such as a fork pull request or an issue comment. When these events run in the context of the default branch, they could be used to write a malicious cache that a later, more privileged workflow restores and trusts. This class of attack is known as cache poisoning.

To reduce this risk, only these workflow triggers can create or overwrite caches in the default branch’s scope:

  * `push`
  * `workflow_dispatch`
  * `repository_dispatch`
  * `delete`
  * `registry_package`
  * `page_build`
  * `schedule`

Runs triggered by any other event that resolves to the default branch are given read-only access to caches in the default branch&#39;s scope. These runs can restore existing caches but cannot create or overwrite them. This includes triggers whose payload or initiating actor can be influenced by someone outside the repository, such as `pull_request_target`, `issue_comment`, and `workflow_run`. A repository can opt out of this restriction for a specific workflow or job by explicitly declaring a write-capable `cache-mode`. See Bypassing the default untrusted-trigger cache restriction.

The `pull_request` event is not affected. Caches created by a `pull_request` run are already scoped to the merge ref (`refs/pull/.../merge`) and cannot be written to the default branch&#39;s scope. For more information, see Restrictions for accessing a cache.

When a run with read-only cache access tries to save a cache, the save fails but the step and the job do not. The workflow continues, and the failure is reported as a warning in the workflow log. In that case, consider the following:

  * To retain the performance benefits of caching on the default branch scope, ensure there is a trusted workflow that keeps the cache updated, for example a CI build triggered by a `push` to the default branch. Those cache entries can then be restored by workflows triggered by low-trust events such as `pull_request_target`.
  * In low-trust workflows, switch to a restore-only cache operation such as `actions/cache/restore` to make the intended cache usage clear and avoid the warning in the workflow run logs.

## Controlling cache access with `cache-mode`

Use the `cache-mode` workflow key to grant jobs the least amount of cache access they need. You can set `cache-mode` at the workflow level, at the job level, or both. A job-level value overrides the workflow-level value for that job. For the syntax, see Workflow syntax for GitHub Actions.

`cache-mode` controls the cache access granted to the job&#39;s token, and it is enforced with scoped cache tokens. The key accepts the following values.

Value  | Restore caches  | Save caches
--- | --- | ---
`read`  | Yes  | No
`write`  | Yes  | Yes
`write-only`  | No  | Yes
`none`  | No  | No

If you omit `cache-mode`, a `read` or `write` default is used based on the trigger type. See Defaults and Bypassing the default untrusted-trigger cache restriction.

<excerpt>citeturn0search9 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: last week; ## `setup-*` actions for specific package managers ... Access restrictions provide cache isolation and security by creating a logical boundary between different branches or tags. ... For example, a cache created for the child `feature-b` branch would not be accessible to a workflow run triggered on the parent `main` branch. ... For example, a cache created for the tag `release-a` with the base `main` would not be accessible to a workflow run triggered for the tag `release-b` with the base `main`. ... Because of this, the cache will have a limited scope and can only be restored by re-runs of the pull request.
For example, if the branch `feature-b` has the base branch `feature-a`, a workflow run triggered on a pull request would have access to caches created in the default `main` branch, the base `feature-a` branch, and the current `feature-b` branch.

Workflow runs cannot restore caches created for child branches or sibling branches. For example, a cache created for the child `feature-b` branch would not be accessible to a workflow run triggered on the parent `main` branch. Similarly, a cache created for the `feature-a` branch with the base `main` would not be accessible to its sibling `feature-c` branch with the base `main`. Workflow runs also cannot restore caches created for different tag names. For example, a cache created for the tag `release-a` with the base `main` would not be accessible to a workflow run triggered for the tag `release-b` with the base `main`.

When a cache is created by a workflow run triggered on a pull request, the cache is created for the merge ref (`refs/pull/.../merge`). Because of this, the cache will have a limited scope and can only be restored by re-runs of the pull request. It cannot be restored by the base branch or other pull requests targeting that base branch.

Multiple workflow runs in a repository can share caches. A cache created for a branch in a workflow run can be accessed and restored from another workflow run for the same repository and branch.

The following example workflow uses `gh cache` to delete up to 100 caches created by a branch once a pull request is closed.

     * To search for cache entries used for a specific branch, click the Branch dropdown menu and select a branch. The cache list will display all of the caches used for the selected branch.
     * To search for cache entries with a specific cache key, use the syntax `key: key-name` in the Filter caches field. The cache list will display caches from all branches where the key was used.

## Deleting cache entries

Users with `write` access to a repository can use the GitHub web interface to delete cache entries.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.

  2. Under your repository name, click Actions.

Image: Screenshot of the tabs for the &quot;github/docs&quot; repository. The &quot;Actions&quot; tab is highlighted with an orange outline.

  3. In the left sidebar, under the &quot;Management&quot; section, click Caches.

  4. To the right of the cache entry you want to delete, click .

Image: Screenshot of the list of cache entries. A trash can icon, used to delete a cache, is highlighted with a dark orange outline.

## Force deleting cache entries

Caches have branch scope restrictions in place, which means some caches have limited usage options. For more information on cache scope restrictions, see Dependency caching reference. If caches limited to a specific branch are using a lot of storage quota, it may cause caches from the `default` branch to be created and deleted at a high frequency.

For example, a repository could have many new pull requests opened, each with their own caches that are restricted to that branch. These caches could take up the majority of the cache storage for that repository. Once a repository has reached its maximum cache storage, the cache eviction policy will create space by deleting the caches in order of last access date, from oldest to most recent. In order to prevent cache thrashing when this happens, you can set up workflows to delete caches on a faster cadence than the cache eviction policy will. You can use the GitHub CLI to delete caches for specific branches.

The following example workflow uses `gh cache` to delete up to 100 caches created by a branch once a pull request is closed.

<excerpt>citeturn0search3 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: today; If you want to both include and exclude branch or tag patterns for a single event, use the `branches` or `tags` filter along with the `! ... Use `cache-mode` to control the level of GitHub Actions cache access that jobs in the workflow are granted.
    
    `concurrency:
      group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
      cancel-in-progress: ${{ !contains(github.ref, &#39;release/&#39;)}}
    `

In this example, multiple pushes to a `release/1.2.3` branch would not cancel in-progress runs. Pushes to another branch, such as `main`, would cancel in-progress runs.

## `cache-mode`

Use `cache-mode` to control the level of GitHub Actions cache access that jobs in the workflow are granted. Setting `cache-mode` at the top level applies to every job in the workflow, unless a job overrides it with `jobs.&lt;job_id&gt;.cache-mode`.

Access is enforced with scoped cache tokens, so a job cannot restore or save caches beyond the mode it is granted. `cache-mode` accepts the following values.

Value  | Restore caches  | Save caches
--- | --- | ---
`read`  | Yes  | No
`write`  | Yes  | Yes
`write-only`  | No  | Yes
`none`  | No  | No

If you omit `cache-mode`, a `read` or `write` default is used based on the trigger type. For trigger-dependent effective defaults, see Dependency caching reference.

Warning

Explicitly declaring `cache-mode: write` or `cache-mode: write-only` on low-trust triggers can bypass the secure default read-only cache restriction and reintroduce cache-poisoning risk. For guidance and mitigations, see Dependency caching reference.

When a cache operation is not permitted by the effective mode, the cache step logs an informational message and continues. The job and workflow do not fail. A skipped restore is treated as a cache miss; a skipped save is simply not performed. For more information, see Dependency caching reference.

### Example of `cache-mode`
    
    `cache-mode: read

Disable persisted checkout credentials in the mac job, not the Bun cache.

The workflow has no low-trust trigger that can populate the release tag's cache scope. However, actions/checkout persists its token by default, and the mac job then runs repository-controlled commands. Those commands can read or use the local checkout token.

Suggested fix
       - uses: actions/checkout@11d5960a326750d5838078e36cf38b85af677262 # v4
         with:
           submodules: recursive
+          persist-credentials: false

The publish job uses GH_TOKEN explicitly and does not execute checkout content, so its persisted checkout token is not the cache-poisoning path described here.

Move the release-notes check into the checks job to fail early.

The publish job is the first place that checks for docs/releases/$GITHUB_REF_NAME.md. It runs only after the server jobs (up to 300 minutes each) and the mac job (up to 180 minutes) finish. If the notes file is missing, the run builds and notarizes everything and then fails. The maintainer must then fix the repository and re-tag.

Add the same check to the "Match the tag to the release version" step in checks. This is a text-only check, so it does not conflict with the repository's rule against behavioral tests.

Proposed change in the `checks` job
           if [[ "$GITHUB_REF" == refs/tags/v* && "${GITHUB_REF_NAME#v}" != "$version" ]]; then
             echo "::error::Tag $GITHUB_REF_NAME does not match package.json version $version."
             exit 1
           fi

Migrate existing server installations to the new bundle path.

detect() accepts an existing marker without rewriting the LaunchAgent. An existing LaunchAgent can therefore retain Contents/Helpers/Server after the app upgrades to Contents/Resources/Server, and the service can fail when it restarts. Add an upgrade migration or require an explicit reinstall that rewrites the LaunchAgent and marker.
