Part 11 of 11 (stack #11411). Builds on #11606.

What changes

npx t3 and npm install -g t3 get the same bytes the GitHub Release carries, on every channel including preview.

  • scripts/build-npm-platform-packages.ts unpacks the five CLI archives into @t3code/t3-<platform>-<arch> packages (each with os/cpu set so npm installs only the matching one) and generates the t3 launcher. Its bin/t3.js lists the platform packages as optionalDependencies, resolves the one for process.platform-process.arch, and execs the executable inside it with the caller's argv and stdio. Node is needed only to run the launcher, never the server.
  • Packages are published as tarballs, not directories: npm strips node_modules from a directory publish, and the platform packages carry the archive's runtime node_modules.
  • node apps/server/scripts/cli.ts publish --packages-dir publishes the platform packages first and the launcher last, after a --dry-run pass over all of them so an auth or scope error fails before anything is live. The old icon/README mutation machinery for the single npm package is deleted.
  • publish_cli needs every archive-producing job. Stable publishes dist-tag latest, nightly nightly, preview preview. Nothing resolves preview unless asked for by name.
  • Two fixes surfaced by the real registry: it rejects any tarball with a symlink or hard link. The archive builder now removes every nested node_modules/**/.bin (pnpm shims, symlinks) and packs Linux archives with tar --hard-dereference (pnpm and node-gyp leave hard links in the staged tree).
  • Trusted publishing (OIDC) is registered on the @t3code org for t3 and the five platform packages against .github/workflows/release.yml; the release doc describes the setup.

Verification

  • build-npm-platform-packages.test.ts (launcher resolution, os/cpu, tarball layout) and cli.ts publish ordering.
  • Preview publish from run 34771413698: all six packages published with provenance under preview. Then npx -y t3@preview --version printed t3 v0.0.41-preview.20260913.1669 on cups (Linux x64), nucbox-1 (Linux x64), and macmini (macOS arm64). No Windows or Linux arm64 machine was in reach.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a substantial new npm distribution and release-publication pipeline, including per-platform executable packages and a launcher, rather than a contained change. Unresolved concerns cover incomplete platform validation, partial-publication recovery, and cross-platform build/test behavior, so the release and runtime paths need human review.

Not approved because:

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release process builds platform-specific npm packages and a t3 launcher from CLI archives. It publishes these tarballs for preview, nightly, and stable channels, and requires CLI publishing before creating a GitHub Release.

Changes

CLI npm publishing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build platform and launcher packages
scripts/build-npm-platform-packages.ts, scripts/build-npm-platform-packages.test.ts, packages/shared/src/cliRelease.ts
The builder extracts CLI archives, creates platform-restricted packages and a launcher, and validates package contents and launcher behavior with integration tests.
Prepare portable CLI archives
scripts/build-cli-archive.ts
Archive staging removes nested .bin directories. Linux archives use hard-link dereferencing.
Publish generated tarballs
apps/server/scripts/cli.ts, apps/server/scripts/cliErrors.ts
The publish command discovers and validates tarballs, then publishes platform packages before t3.tgz. The previous workspace-package and icon mutation flow was removed.
Integrate channel publishing and document release behavior
.github/workflows/release.yml, docs/operations/release.md, docs/user/install.md
The workflow publishes CLI packages for every channel, including preview, and requires successful CLI publishing. Release and installation documentation describes package distribution and runtime requirements.

Require every platform tarball before publishing.

This check only requires one matching tarball. If one of the five required platform tarballs is absent, the command publishes the incomplete set and then publishes the launcher. Installation will fail on the missing platform.

Validate the exact expected filenames before the first npm publish call.

Make multi-package publication recoverable.

The dry run does not guarantee that npm will validate the OIDC credential against the registry. npm/cli documents this limitation for trusted publishing.

Derive the expected stub output from the running host.

The launcher resolves @t3code/t3-${process.platform}-${process.arch}. On a darwin-arm64 host the fixture stub prints stub darwin-arm64 serve --port 1234, so the equality assertion on Line 185 fails. On any host outside KEYS (for example win32-x64) no platform package resolves, the launcher exits 1, and both assertions fail. The test therefore passes only on linux-x64.

💚 Proposed fix
+      const hostKey = `${process.platform}-${process.arch}`;
       const env = { ...process.env, NODE_PATH: fixture.outputDir } as Record<string, string>;
       const passthrough = yield* run(process.execPath, ["bin/t3.js", "serve", "--port", "1234"], {
         cwd: launcherDir,
         env,
       });
-      assert.equal(passthrough.stdout.trim(), "stub linux-x64 serve --port 1234");
+      assert.equal(passthrough.stdout.trim(), `stub ${hostKey} serve --port 1234`);
       assert.equal(passthrough.exitCode, 7);

Also add the host key to KEYS (or skip the passthrough assertions when the host key is not in KEYS) so hosts such as win32-x64 and linux-arm64 stay covered or explicitly skipped. A Windows host additionally needs a t3.exe stub, because the launcher appends .exe there.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use hostTar for .tar.gz extraction on Windows.

buildNpmPlatformPackages is reachable on Windows, but the repository has no Windows workflow that invokes it. When a Windows caller uses drive-letter paths and supplies a .tar.gz archive, extractArchive passes those paths to bare tar. Under Git Bash, that can resolve to GNU tar, which scripts/build-cli-archive.ts documents as incompatible with drive-letter paths. Use hostTar, which selects the explicit System32 tar.exe. Relative paths or the current Ubuntu release workflow are not affected.

   if (!archive.endsWith(".zip")) {
-    yield* runCommand(ChildProcess.make("tar", ["-xf", archive, "-C", into]), "tar -xf");
+    yield* runCommand(
+      ChildProcess.make(yield* hostTar, ["-xf", archive, "-C", into]),
+      "tar -xf",
+    );

hostTar can remain below extractArchive; the function runs after module initialization.

List the supported os/cpu pairs.

npx t3 resolves a package using both os and cpu, but this paragraph names only operating systems. The builder applies those restrictions in scripts/build-npm-platform-packages.ts:332-386, and scripts/build-npm-platform-packages.test.ts:93-196 verifies them. Add the five published pairs or link to the support matrix. Otherwise, users on unsupported Linux or Windows architectures can expect this command to work and receive a launcher rejection instead.

Reject the mac/x64 pair in build-cli-archive.

BuildPlatform and BuildArch are validated independently, so the command accepts this pair and can emit t3-<version>-darwin-x64.tar.gz. The shared CLI_ARCHIVE_PLATFORM_KEYS contract supports only darwin-arm64, linux-arm64, linux-x64, win32-arm64, and win32-x64. The release workflow sets cli_archive: false for macOS x64, so the supported release caller cannot reach this pair. A direct invocation remains reachable. When it emits the extra archive, build-npm-platform-packages.ts selects only the shared matrix and does not package darwin-x64.

Add explicit validation that rejects mac with x64. Do not add darwin-x64 to the matrix while Node single-executables remain unsupported on x64 macOS.

Derive the launcher support list from the included platform keys

--allow-missing passes only discovered keys to npmLauncherPackageManifest, but NPM_LAUNCHER_SCRIPT embeds all five keys in SUPPORTED. On an omitted platform, require.resolve throws and the catch handles it; the error is not unhandled. However, the message is misleading and suggests reinstalling a dependency that the partial launcher does not declare. Generate the message list from the same platformKeys used for optionalDependencies.

…ble packages

The t3 npm package was still the JS bundle that needed Node and a
native build on the user's machine. It is now a thin launcher whose
optionalDependencies are @t3tools/t3-<platform>-<arch> packages built
from the release archives, so npx t3 resolves to the same executable
the desktop app, the archives, and the install scripts use.

scripts/build-npm-platform-packages.ts turns each archive into a
platform package and writes the launcher; both are packed as tarballs
because npm publish <dir> silently strips node_modules from the payload
and the executable dlopens its natives from there. The publish command
uploads those tarballs, platforms first and the launcher last, so the
launcher is never live before what it depends on. The workflow's npm
job now fans in after every archive producer and runs on every channel;
preview publishes under the preview dist-tag, which nothing resolves
unless asked for.

The publish command joined the packages dir into each tarball path and
then also ran npm with that dir as cwd, so a relative --packages-dir
produced npm-packages/npm-packages/... and ENOENT in CI.

npm refuses a tarball that contains a symlink, and the darwin-arm64 archive
carried four in msgpackr-extract's nested .bin directory.

pnpm and node-gyp leave hard links in the staged node_modules on Linux, GNU
tar records them as link entries, and npm refuses a tarball that carries one.
