The workflow pinned Node 20, which reached end-of-life in April 2026, while
the manifest promised support down to it — so the entire claimed range below
the single tested version went unverified and its floor was unsupported.
Matrix over the two supported long-term-support majors and narrow the engine
range to `^22 || ^24`, naming exactly what is tested. Narrowing is free now
because nothing has been published and no tags exist.
The benchmark harness tier joins every leg: it is deterministic and needs no
network, and its non-default runner configuration made it easy to believe it
was running when it was not. The end-to-end and packaging tiers run on the
highest leg only, conditioned on a flag attached to that leg through a matrix
`include` entry rather than on a version number restated at each site. The
benchmark smoke tier stays out, since it would pass by skipping.
`@types/node` follows the new floor; it was the last Node 20 reference in the
manifest, and the typecheck runs on every leg.
The packaging tier held two kinds of assertion joined only by an
expensive shared setup: the shape of the packed tarball and its
manifest, and the behaviour of the resulting installed binary. Split
them, and teach the second to take the binary it drives from
GITEA_AXI_INSTALLED_BIN.
When that variable names an existing binary the tier drives it and skips
pack-and-install entirely; unset, it packs and installs exactly as
before. The installed-binary facet becomes one seam with two callers —
the npm distribution path today, the Nix installation path in task 0038
— so the two cannot drift apart in what they guarantee about an
installed gitea-axi. Nothing in it may assert on how the binary came to
exist, since store paths, wrapper internals, and the arrangement of the
installed tree are implementation detail of the installation method.
The tarball assertions stay npm-only: no other distribution method
produces a tarball or a packed manifest.
Lay the foundation the benchmark harness reads and writes: a bench/
directory (excluded from the published npm package), the immutable
result-record shape, and an append-only per-cell sample store.
- bench/result.ts: the ResultRecord shape — four token components,
turns, duration, imputed cost, tagged pass/fail outcome, and the
arm/task/tier/trial/timestamp tags. Arm and Tier are typed unions.
- bench/store.ts: append-only sample store, one JSONL file per cell at
<root>/<arm>/<taskId>.jsonl; deepening a cell only ever adds samples.
- bench/README.md: harness working docs and benchmark vocabulary, kept
out of the tool's domain glossary per the spec.
- Dedicated bench test tier (vitest.bench.config.ts, npm run test:bench)
kept out of the fast tier; tsconfig typechecks bench.
- Packaging tier asserts bench/ never ships in the tarball.
Complete the distribution metadata and publish flow for the unscoped
`gitea-axi` package:
- add `repository`, `homepage`, and `bugs` to package.json
- add `publishConfig` (public access, npmjs registry) so `npm publish`
needs no extra flags
- replace `prepublishOnly` with `prepack: npm run build`, so both
`npm pack` and `npm publish` rebuild `dist/` first
- document the single-command flow in PUBLISHING.md
- add a packaging smoke-test tier (`test:pack`) that packs the real
tarball, installs it globally, and drives the installed binary
(`--help`, dashboard header, and `setup` finding the bundled skill)
