name: windows-release
description: Build, verify, and publish the Windows desktop build (NSIS installer + latest.yml) to the openmausbot-releases repo. Use when cutting a release, shipping a new version to Windows users, or when a Windows user reports they are stuck on an old version. Windows only — does not cover the macOS dmg/notarization flow.
---

# Windows release

Ships `OpenMausBot-<version>-setup.exe` and its update feed to
[milind-soni/openmausbot-releases](https://github.com/milind-soni/openmausbot-releases).

**Scope: Windows only.** The macOS build is a separate flow (dmg + notarytool +
staple) that must run on a Mac. This skill never touches mac artifacts — but see
[Every release ships both](#every-release-ships-both) before you finish.

## Preconditions

- **Run on Windows.** NSIS packaging from macOS needs Wine; don't.
- **Node 24+** (`package.json` `engines`). Node 23 builds fine but pnpm warns on
every step and CI runs 24 — don't debug a runtime oddity on the wrong major.
- **pnpm** via `corepack pnpm`. If `corepack enable` fails with EPERM (no admin),
drop a `pnpm.cmd` shim containing `@echo off` / `corepack pnpm %*` somewhere on
PATH — `package:win` chains `pnpm build && …` and needs bare `pnpm` to resolve.

## 1. Version

Bump `version` in `package.json`. It must match the tag on the GitHub release you
upload to, and it becomes the version electron-updater compares against.

## 2. Build

```powershell
pnpm install
pnpm typecheck
pnpm package:win
```

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Run the unified validation gate before packaging.

This skill runs pnpm typecheck only. The PR introduces pnpm verify as the repository validation gate, so this Windows release path can skip required checks. Run pnpm verify before pnpm package:win.

Proposed change

 pnpm package:win

Clean generated outputs before packaging.

The Windows workflows remove dist, dist-server, and release before pnpm package:win. This manual flow does not. Stale generated files can enter the installer and produce a broken packaged server or UI.

In @.agents/skills/windows-release/SKILL.md around lines 31 - 35, Update the
Windows release instructions around the pnpm install, typecheck, and package:win
flow to remove the generated dist, dist-server, and release directories
immediately before packaging, matching the workflow cleanup behavior.


`package:win` deliberately omits `build:speech` — the dictation helper is a signed
macOS Swift binary and has no Windows counterpart.

Output in `release/`:

| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `OpenMausBot-<version>-setup.exe` | the installer |
| `latest.yml` | **the update feed** — see step 4 |
| `OpenMausBot-<version>-setup.exe.blockmap` | differential updates |
| `OpenMausBot-<version>-x64.zip` | portable, not used by the updater |

## 3. Verify before uploading

Three things silently produce a broken app if wrong. Check all three:

```powershell
Test-Path release\win-unpacked\resources\server\index.js # harness server
Test-Path release\win-unpacked\resources\ui\index.html # built UI
Get-Content release\win-unpacked\resources\app-update.yml # feed config
```

- Missing `server/index.js` → `utilityProcess.fork` fails → the 🐭 "Couldn't start
the bot server" page.
- Missing `ui/index.html` → server has nothing to serve → black window.
- `app-update.yml` must point at `milind-soni/openmausbot-releases` and, while the
build is unsigned, **must not contain `publisherName`** — electron-updater would
reject every update as untrusted.

Make packaged-tree verification fail before publication.

Test-Path and Get-Content do not reject missing files, an incorrect release repository, or an unexpected publisherName. Add fail-fast assertions that match .github/workflows/package-win.yml and .github/workflows/release.yml.

The signing guidance is correct for the pinned electron-builder 26.15.3. Keep win.signtoolOptions and win.azureSignOptions.

workflows, and preserve win.signtoolOptions and win.azureSignOptions.

Then smoke-test the installer itself. Run it, and confirm:

1. It installs per-user with no UAC prompt and launches.
2. The chat window renders (not the error page). Server logs land in
`%APPDATA%\OpenMausBot\logs\server.log`.
3. The model picker lists at least one provider — this exercises the `.cmd`-shim
resolution in `server/procs.ts`, which only ever runs for real on Windows.
4. No update popup appears on launch. Background check failures are silent by
design; a popup here means that regressed.

## 4. Publish

Upload to the **same tag** as the macOS release for that version, so one release
carries both platforms.

```powershell
Copy-Item release/OpenMausBot-<version>-setup.exe release/OpenMausBot-setup.exe
gh release upload v<version> --repo milind-soni/openmausbot-releases `
release/OpenMausBot-<version>-setup.exe `
release/OpenMausBot-setup.exe `
release/OpenMausBot-<version>-setup.exe.blockmap `
release/latest.yml
```

Both names are required, for different consumers:

- **`OpenMausBot-<version>-setup.exe`** is what `latest.yml` references by name and
sha512. The auto-updater downloads exactly this.
- **`OpenMausBot-setup.exe`** is a byte-identical copy that gives the README's
`/releases/latest/download/OpenMausBot-setup.exe` button a stable URL. This
mirrors `OpenMausBot.dmg` sitting beside `OpenMausBot-<version>.dmg`.

### latest.yml is not optional

Without it every installed Windows app 404s on check and stays on its version
forever. It is generated by `package:win` even under `--publish never`.

**Never hand-edit it or carry one forward from a previous build.** It pins the
installer's sha512; a mismatch makes the updater download and then reject the
update, which looks like "updates silently do nothing".

## Every release ships both

A version that exists on macOS but not on this release is a Windows user stuck on
old code with no signal that anything is wrong — the updater reports "up to date"
because `latest.yml` still describes the older build.

So: **whenever a new version goes out, this flow runs too.** If Windows can't ship
for some reason, don't publish the mac-only release under a new version tag either
— or accept that Windows is knowingly frozen and say so in the release notes.

Because the two builds must run on two machines, the tag is the join point: cut the
release, attach mac artifacts from the Mac, attach Windows artifacts from here.

## Known: the build is unsigned

No certificate is configured, so SmartScreen shows "unknown publisher" and users
click **More info → Run anyway**. The README documents this. Auto-update still
works *because* it's unsigned (no `publisherName` to verify against).

If signing is added later, it goes under `win.signtoolOptions` or
`win.azureSignOptions` in `electron-builder.yml` — electron-builder 26 nests these;
there is no top-level `win.certificateFile`. Once signed, keep the certificate
subject stable forever, or list both old and new in `publisherName`; changing it
strands every already-installed user.
