CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): fix-forward #2820 (tsk-27gdvd): add the fenced red run (tests/sparkle_tests.bats + SparkleBridgeTests) to the PR body; no code change

Autonomous build of board card tsk-mhidx2.

REVISION: built on exec/tsk-27gdvd (cut at 63753fb184a6c779befbf294248605ae595a0aee), not on dev. That branch's
commits are ancestors of this one. Verified by git merge-base --is-ancestor
before the PR was opened.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed macOS updater integration so Sparkle updates use the project-controlled feed domain.
    • Improved release builds by fetching and verifying Sparkle 2.6.0 and requiring essential signing and framework files.
    • Added validation that confirms Sparkle is correctly bundled and linked in release builds.
  • Documentation

    • Added release-testing guidance for verifying Sparkle framework integration.
  • Tests

    • Added automated coverage for Sparkle downloads, checksum verification, bundle layout, and release-build safeguards.

…le framework fetch

- Switch all feed references from taos.app to project domain taos.my:
  - mac/appcast/appcast.xml:5
  - mac/build/sparkle_sign.sh:57
  - mac/launcher/Sources/taOSLauncher/Resources/Info.plist.in:28
  - mac/launcher/Tests/taOSLauncherTests/SparkleBridgeTests.swift:7,10
- Add fetch_sparkle.sh to mac/build/build.sh stage 4 (after frontend)
- Update mac/build/assemble_bundle.sh to fail in release builds when:
  - Sparkle.framework is missing (previously silently skipped)
  - ed_public.pem is missing (previously silently disabled)
- Add checksum file mac/build/checksums/sparkle-2.6.0.sha256
- Update changelog.d/tsk-whwh5n-sparkle-domain-migration.md

This ensures security fixes reach Mac users and prevents unowned domains from intercepting updates.

S2-23: Mac updater is a no-op - security fixes never reached users
if feed domain not owned by project
…elease guard, runtime linking

- fetch_sparkle.sh: unzip into temp dir, extract Sparkle.framework from correct path
- sparkle_sign.sh: look for sign_update in sparkle-bin directory
- assemble_bundle.sh: use explicit --release flag for build mode detection
- Package.swift: add Sparkle binary target and include in dependencies
- Added verify_sparkle.sh to validate runtime linking
- Improved checksum verification with shasum/sha256sum fallback

CHANGES FROM #2815 KEPT:
- All taos.app -> taos.my feed changes
- checksum file kept
- build-stage insertion kept
- changelog fragment extended

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The macOS launcher now uses Sparkle 2.6.0 and the taos.my feed. The build fetches and verifies Sparkle, applies strict release guards, validates framework linkage, and adds integration tests and release-check instructions.

Changes

Sparkle updater integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sparkle package and feed contracts
mac/launcher/Package.swift, mac/launcher/Sources/..., mac/launcher/Tests/..., mac/appcast/appcast.xml, mac/build/sparkle_sign.sh
The launcher links Sparkle 2.6.0. Feed and enclosure URLs now use taos.my.
Sparkle fetch and build wiring
mac/build/fetch_sparkle.sh, mac/build/checksums/*, mac/build/build.sh
The build downloads Sparkle, verifies its checksum, stages the framework and tools, and selects release mode.
Release guards and framework verification
mac/build/assemble_bundle.sh, mac/build/verify_sparkle.sh
Release builds fail when required signing or framework files are missing. Verification checks framework layout, launcher linkage, and LC_RPATH.
Integration tests and release procedure
tests/sparkle_tests.bats, run_sparkle_test.py, mac/build/RELEASE_TESTING.md, changelog.d/*
Tests cover Sparkle extraction and release guards. The release checklist documents framework-link verification.

Subproject pointer update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Subproject reference update
final_scratch_worktree
The subproject reference now points to commit 37ee01c7fefe65fc76ff9ea85b9e3a48e4850167.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f5647

The release path can hang or incorrectly validate Sparkle bundles, and the added tests do not provide a reliable safety net. These issues should be fixed before merge.

fetch_sparkle.sh extracts to $REPO_ROOT/$OUTPUT/staging/sparkle-bin/, but sparkle_sign.sh hardcodes $REPO_ROOT/mac/build/staging/sparkle-bin/. The sign_update tool will never be found.

CRITICAL: Sparkle is now a hard required binary target dependency

The old Package.swift explicitly described Sparkle as optional (wired in by the build pipeline, gated behind #if canImport(Sparkle)). Making it a hard dependency means every swift build downloads ~10MB from GitHub, breaking builds in restricted network environments. The #if canImport(Sparkle) guards in SparkleBridge.swift also become dead code.

the versioned checksum entry in the sparkle checksum file with the checksum for
the selected Sparkle release.

In `@run_sparkle_test.py`:
- Line 39: Update the worktree path initialization in run_sparkle_test.py to
avoid the hard-coded /tmp/cleanup_final location; derive the repository root
from __file__ or accept a path argument, while preserving the script’s existing

- Around line 25-29: Update the run_tests fallback so it never passes
sparkle_tests.bats to Python via exec; when Bats is unavailable, invoke a
supported shell-based test command or return a clear error stating that Bats is
required, while preserving the normal Bats execution path.

In `@tests/sparkle_tests.bats`:
- Line 64: Update the tests around TEST_SCRIPT to create temporary inputs and
mocks, then invoke the production mac/build/fetch_sparkle.sh script instead of
embedding a replacement extraction implementation; apply the same approach to
the assemble_bundle.sh test so it executes the repository script rather than a
heredoc reimplementation. Preserve the existing assertions while ensuring both
tests validate the actual production scripts.
- Around line 289-294: Remove the committed RED-phase invocation and its
pass/fail handling around test_fetch_sparkle_layout, leaving only the passing
regression cases in the suite while preserving the historical RED result in PR
evidence.
- Line 7: Remove the top-level manual RED/GREEN runner block from the test file,
then convert both test functions, including test_fetch_sparkle_layout, into Bats

Consume --release in both argument parsers.

Both scripts set RELEASE=1 without advancing past --release. The parser can therefore process the same argument indefinitely. Add shift after setting RELEASE=1 in both files.

Fail the fetch when Sparkle tool staging fails.

The Sparkle archive provides bin/sign_update, and release builds reach sparkle_sign.sh when the private key exists. A suppressed copy error lets fetch_sparkle.sh report success without the staged tool. Signing can then fail later or use an unintended PATH executable. Remove || true and require an executable "$OUTPUT/sparkle-bin/sign_update" before reporting success.

Pass the staging directory to sparkle_sign.sh.

mac/build/build.sh places Sparkle files under $REPO_ROOT/$OUTPUT/staging, but sparkle_sign.sh checks only $REPO_ROOT/mac/build/staging. With --output dist, the fetched sign_update tool is ignored, so signing may use an unintended PATH tool or fail. Pass "$STAGING" to sparkle_sign.sh and use it for both candidate paths.

Check the bundled executable in release verification.

When Sparkle.framework and its binary exist, otool is available, and Contents/MacOS/taOSLauncher is absent, line 58 skips both linkage checks and reports success. The bundle stores the executable as Contents/MacOS/taOS, so the script checks the wrong path. Use the bundled executable path and fail in release mode when it is missing.

🌐 Web query:

Apple otool -l LC_RPATH output cmd path @executable_path``

💡 Result:

When you run otool -l on a Mach-O binary and see an LC_RPATH load command with a path such as @executable_path, it indicates that the dynamic linker (dyld) is instructed to use that path as a search location for dynamic libraries (dylibs) that rely on the @rpath token [1][2][3]. Here is a breakdown of what this means: 1. LC_RPATH Load Command: This command defines a directory path to be added to the run-path search list [1][2]. The dynamic linker traverses these paths at runtime to resolve dependencies [4]. 2. @executable_path: This is a macro or token that the dynamic linker expands at runtime [2][3]. When used within an LC_RPATH command, it resolves to the directory containing the main executable file of the process [2][3]. 3. Interaction with @rpath: Dependencies (like dylibs or frameworks) often use an install name starting with @rpath (e.g., @rpath/libexample.dylib) [1][4]. When dyld encounters this, it looks through the paths specified in the binary's LC_RPATH load commands [4]. If an LC_RPATH contains @executable_path, the linker will effectively look for the library relative to the location of the main executable [5][6]. This mechanism allows you to create portable application bundles where frameworks or libraries are stored in a relative location (such as inside a Contents/Frameworks directory) regardless of where the entire application bundle is installed on the user's system [3][5]. Other related tokens include: - @loader_path: Expands to the directory containing the binary that is loading the dylib (which could be the executable or another dylib) [1][2][3]. - @rpath: The placeholder in the install name that gets replaced by the paths found in the LC_RPATH commands [1][2].

Parse LC_RPATH as a multi-line load-command record.

otool -l "$LAUNCHER_BINARY" places LC_RPATH and its path value on separate lines. The current grep cannot match the required rpath, so a valid release bundle fails verification. Use a stateful awk check or another parser that associates each LC_RPATH command with its following path line.

Do not execute sparkle_tests.bats as Python source.

When bats is unavailable, run_tests passes the Bash file to python -c and exec. Bash syntax such as test_fetch_sparkle_layout() { causes a SyntaxError, so the fallback returns a failure instead of running the tests. Invoke a supported shell command or return a clear error that Bats is required.

Derive the worktree path at runtime.

The hard-coded /tmp/cleanup_final path does not exist in a normal checkout. Running this script from the repository therefore reports that the test file is missing. Accept a path argument or derive the repository root from __file__.

Remove the manual runner before registering Bats tests. Bats preprocesses only @test declarations and # @test`` annotations. It preserves the top-level RED/GREEN block and executes it while gathering tests. That block reaches exit 1, so Bats fails during test discovery instead of reporting an empty suite. Adding registrations alone does not fix the suite. Remove lines 283–327, then convert both functions to Bats test cases.

Test the production scripts, not replacement implementations.

This heredoc writes a new extraction implementation and never invokes mac/build/fetch_sparkle.sh. The second test similarly writes a replacement assemble_bundle.sh. Changes to the production scripts can therefore pass this suite without validation.

Create temporary inputs and mocks, then execute the repository scripts under test.

Remove the committed RED phase.

No code changes between the RED call at Line 289 and the GREEN call at Line 311. If the helper passes, the RED phase exits with status 1. If it fails, the GREEN phase later exits with status 1. This script cannot complete with “All tests passed”.

Keep the historical RED result in the PR evidence. Keep only the passing regression cases in the committed suite.

Closing: the lane's commit is a one-line subject with no body — the card's only deliverable (a fenced red run in the commit body) is absent. Exec log shows repeated 'git commit' failures (editor opened) before the empty-body commit landed. Card tsk-mhidx2 stays open and claimable for a fresh lane; executor now un-escapes backticks in the PR body as well.
