An ARM-only pre-merge Release check still compiled the Intel Ghostty helper and downloaded the Intel cmux-tui client. Resolve the architecture policy in the helper producer and pass its output to the Release consumer, so the app and both bundled helpers use the same requested slices. ARM checks select the existing ARM helper target and ARM client artifact; defaults and explicit universal checks still produce universal binaries.

The prebuilt-helper installer accepts an optional architecture set while keeping its universal default. Final artifact validation checks both helpers against the exact producer-selected set. Nightly/distribution workflows and the helper builder's cache implementation are unchanged.

Validation: extended the existing Release architecture test entry point with executable producer/consumer workflow tests using fake compilers and real resolver, installer and slice-validation scripts. Default universal, ARM policy, both dispatch overrides, invalid/missing policy and wrong-architecture artifacts are covered. Tests fail against the original workflow and when ARM helper selection is deliberately changed back to universal. Existing topology guard and Bash 3.2 syntax checks pass. Separate tests with existing cached Mach-O files and real lipo verify thin/universal installation, rejected mismatches and unchanged source bytes. No native compilation or new CI job was needed; hosted CI will exercise the actual helper build.

This removes specific Intel work from the ARM-only check. It does not claim a measured whole-run speedup.


Summary by cubic

Makes the pre-merge Release check honor CI_RELEASE_BUILD_ARCHS for the bundled Ghostty helper and cmux-tui client, not just the app. An ARM-only check previously still compiled the Intel Ghostty helper and downloaded the Intel cmux-tui client; now the app and both bundled helpers follow the resolved architecture set, and default or explicit universal checks still produce universal binaries.

Changes

  • Resolves Release architectures once in the helper producer and passes that output to the Release consumer.
  • scripts/install-prebuilt-ghostty-cli-helper.sh accepts an optional --archs argument while keeping its universal default.
  • Final artifact validation checks the helper and cmux-tui client against the exact producer-selected architecture set.
  • Tracks release-build-archs.sh and verify-binary-archs.sh as package test inputs so edits retrigger CI.
  • Nightly/distribution workflows and the helper builder's cache logic are unchanged.

Testing

  • Adds producer/consumer workflow tests using fake compilers and real installer/validation scripts, covering universal, arm64, dispatch overrides, invalid/missing policies, and mismatched artifacts.
  • Existing Release test guards now assert the renamed helper steps, the arch-selected builder invocation, and exact slice validation.

Written for commit 11e4575. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI workflow resolves Release architectures in swift-package-tests, passes them to release-build, and validates matching helper, TUI client, and app slices. The installer accepts explicit architecture sets. Tests cover propagation, rejection, missing outputs, and artifact validation.

Release architecture selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and build Release helper

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge, with the previous workflow-guard failure fixed and no new blocking issues identified.

Summary

Makes the pre-merge Release app, Ghostty helper, and cmux-tui client follow one producer-resolved architecture policy.

  • Preserves universal defaults while supporting ARM-only checks and explicit dispatch overrides.
  • Validates both bundled helpers against the exact selected architecture set.
  • Updates workflow guards and registers the architecture scripts as global package-test inputs.
  • The previously reported obsolete workflow-guard assertions are fixed; no new actionable issues were found in the subsequent changes.

Update the universal-build comment.

The arm64 policy produces an ARM-only app. State that the default policy when it resolves to universal, and the explicit universal policy, match the nightly artifact shape. This keeps the workflow documentation accurate.

Fixed the current workflow-guard-tests failure in 11e4575: the package-test selector now tracks release-build-archs.sh and verify-binary-archs.sh as global job inputs. The existing regression reproduced the same missing-input failure as job 106127972071, then passed with the two entries. Explicit behavior checks also confirm each script independently selects all packages. No runner/workflow or native build change was needed.
