run each target architecture on an architecture-specific runner instead of
relying on matrix.arch. Ensure the SEA build receives the intended architecture
and validate dist-exe/t3 before creating each archive, failing the job when the
executable is missing or has the wrong architecture.

Each desktop build runner now also produces t3-<version>-<platform>-<arch> archives holding the single-executable server, web client, resource monitor, and the runtime-external native packages. macOS archives are Developer ID signed and notarized, Windows executables go through Azure Trusted Signing, and every archive is extracted and executed on its runner before the release job attaches it with a SHA256SUMS file. Adds a temporary preview release channel (workflow_dispatch) so the archive-based runtime can be dogfooded without touching nightly or stable users. Preview versions carry their own prerelease identifier and skip the hosted web app, AUR, and Discord steps. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ive checks The x64 macOS archive is cross-built on the arm64 runner via tsdown's exe targets. Preview tags are excluded from the stable tag trigger, preview releases keep latest-channel updater metadata so nightly clients never see them, prerelease detection anchors on the first identifier, and the archive smoke test now starts serve with an empty PATH and waits for a 200 instead of only running the metadata preflight.

vp resolves VP_NODE_VERSION by downloading from nodejs.org/dist, where only exact versions have a directory; a bare major 404s on the runner. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The executable is injected into the runner's own Node. tsdown's cross- target path breaks on Windows (GNU tar reads the drive letter as a host) and a cross-built macOS x64 binary crashed under Rosetta in the smoke test with no way to verify it on real x64 hardware in CI, so the macOS x64 archive is skipped until it can be. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Signing and packaging steps ran with their output discarded, so a failing Invoke-TrustedSigning left only an exit code in the log. The invocation now also mirrors electron-builder's (quoted values, stop on error) so a cmdlet failure is a non-zero exit rather than a warning. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
--build-sea rebuilds node.exe's resource section but, unlike its Mach-O path, leaves the original certificate table in place. signtool then rejects the image with 0x800700C1 (not a valid Win32 application). Remove the security directory with the SDK signtool the Trusted Signing module ships before Invoke-TrustedSigning writes the new signature. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ing t3.exe signtool cannot remove the entry --build-sea leaves behind either: the data directory now points into the injected resource section, so the SIP fails to parse it (0x00000057). Zeroing the certificate-table entry in the PE header is what a strip does and needs no parser. Verified on a locally cross-built win-x64 executable, and left alone when the table still ends at EOF. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Under the Git Bash shell CI uses, a bare tar is GNU tar, which does not write zip and cannot read one either; the smoke test failed extracting the archive the build had just produced. Both steps now name System32\tar.exe explicitly on Windows. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Preview desktop builds were packaged with a GitHub publish config on the latest channel, so electron-builder emitted latest*.yml manifests and blockmaps that the release job then attached to the preview prerelease, and the CLI was published under an npm preview dist-tag. Nothing pointed at those today, but they were live update metadata one feed change away from being served to stable or nightly users. Preview versions now build exactly like pull request preview builds: no publish config, so no app-update.yml and no manifests. The release job only lists updater files for stable and nightly, fails if any show up on a preview, and the npm publish job is skipped for preview. The only way to obtain a preview build is downloading it from its release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
electron-builder still writes .blockmap files next to the installers when the publish config is absent, so the preview guard in the release job correctly refused the first run after it was added. Only collect blockmaps and feed manifests for channels an updater follows. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A preview release carried auto-generated notes listing every commit since the previous preview, which read like a changelog of unmerged branch history and made the release look like any other build on the releases page. Preview releases now get a warning body instead of generated notes, and their name says maintainer test build, do not install. Nightly and stable notes are unaffected: each series resolves its previous tag within its own channel, so preview tags never enter their ranges. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What ships
The desktop build runners for macOS arm64, Linux x64, and Windows x64 now also produce
t3-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz(.zipon Windows) containing the single-executable server, the web client (sourcemaps dropped), the resource monitor, and a hoisted production install of the runtime-external native packages with foreign node-pty prebuilds pruned. Unpacking it needs neither Node, npm, nor a compiler. The release job attaches the archives with aSHA256SUMSwritten from the signed bytes.scripts/build-cli-archive.tsstages and packs the archive. macOS: Developer ID signature with hardened runtime on the executable and on every.node/spawn-helper/resource-monitor binary, then notarization when the Apple secrets are present (ad hoc otherwise, which still runs fromcurl/tarinstalls). Windows: Azure Trusted Signing through the sameInvoke-TrustedSigningsetup the installer uses, after zeroing the stale Authenticode data-directory entry thatnode --build-sealeaves in the PE header (Trusted Signing refuses the file otherwise with0x800700C1, andsigntool removecannot strip it). Same rule on every channel, including nightly.scripts/smoke-cli-archive.tsextracts each archive on its build runner with a clean environment and runs--versionplus the service preflight (which loads sqlite, node-pty, and msgpackr-extract) before the artifact is uploaded. On Windows it extracts withSystem32\tar.exe(bsdtar) because Git Bash's GNU tar cannot read zips.--build-sea.VP_NODE_VERSIONis pinned to the exact26.8.2in the workflow (the setup action 404s on a bare major). The macOS x64 archive is disabled for now: cross-injecting into the x64 Node on the arm64 runner produced a binary that segfaults under Rosetta, and there is no x64 runner to verify on.Temporary
