Preparing v0.10.0 meant building the release locally first. It did not
build. Two separate defects were sitting on master, both invisible to
every gate this project has, for the same reason: nothing in
build-and-test.yml runs `tauri build`. Only a tag does. So the first time
anyone would have discovered either was a failed release.
**Tauri plugin versions had drifted apart.** Tauri refuses to build when a
plugin's Rust crate and npm package are on different minor versions:
tauri-plugin-log (v2.8.0) : @tauri-apps/plugin-log (v2.9.0)
tauri-plugin-updater (v2.9.0) : @tauri-apps/plugin-updater (v2.10.1)
Introduced by the updater and diagnostics work in this same branch --
`cargo add` took what the pinned toolchain allowed while `bun add` took
latest, and the caret ranges let them separate. cargo check, clippy,
cargo test and svelte-check all passed.
Matching upward pulled wry 0.53.5 -> 0.54.2 along with wasm-bindgen,
web-sys and webkit2gtk: the webview layer, which on Linux is the video
playback path. That is not a change to make while cutting a release, so
the npm packages are pinned down to the crates instead -- exactly, not by
caret, since the caret is what allowed the drift. The upgrade is worth
doing deliberately, with a playback check, and ci-operations.md says so.
CI now runs `tauri info`, which performs the same comparison without
building. Verified by reintroducing the mismatch and watching it fail.
**The AppImage target had never been built.** It was added earlier in this
branch because the release notes had advertised an AppImage for months
while tauri.conf.json never produced one. It does not work out of the
box: linuxdeploy carries its own `strip`, too old to parse the .relr.dyn
section modern toolchains emit, and it fails on every bundled library --
strip: libzstd.so.1: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn'
failed to bundle project `failed to run linuxdeploy`
Ubuntu 23.10+ links with -z pack-relative-relocs by default, so the CI
builder image fails exactly as a modern Arch host does. NO_STRIP=true is
linuxdeploy's documented escape hatch. The resulting 153 MB AppImage was
verified to be well-formed and to actually start.
Without this the release would have failed at the Linux build step --
the artifact check added earlier refuses to publish when no AppImage is
produced, which is the behaviour we want, but it would have refused a
tagged build rather than a local one.
Also: the traceability extractor now reads the tooling shell scripts that
carry TRACES comments. DR-207, DR-213 and DR-220 all had them and were
counted as uncovered because only .ts/.svelte/.rs were scanned. Listed
individually rather than globbing scripts/*.sh -- most implement nothing,
and adding one should be a decision.
DR-221.
The project shipped signed Android builds and unsigned desktop binaries
with no vulnerability scanning of any kind. Nothing checked the ~500
crate Rust graph or the JS packages against an advisory feed, and nothing
checked that what we redistribute inside an MIT bundle permits it.
The first cargo-deny run found eight vulnerabilities and one
unsoundness -- bytes, four in rustls-webpki, time, two in quick-xml and
rand -- every one of them closed by a `cargo update` nobody had a reason
to run. That update is in this commit; 740 Rust tests and clippy
-D warnings pass on the new lockfile.
Two structural fixes matter as much as the gate itself:
- deny.toml scopes the graph to the targets we actually ship. Without
it the Apple targets pull in plist -> quick-xml and report two DoS
advisories against a crate that is in no binary we release. Ignoring
those by ID would silence them everywhere, including where they
would matter; scoping makes them correctly absent.
- libmpv is pinned by rev instead of branch = "master". A branch means
the revision is whatever Cargo.lock happens to hold and any
`cargo update` silently substitutes new upstream code -- in the one
dependency that is not from crates.io and that links a C library
into the player. The rev is the commit already locked, so this pins
current behaviour rather than changing it.
Licence findings are recorded rather than waved through. libmpv and
libmpv-sys are LGPL-2.1, satisfied here by dynamic linking against the
system library; deny.toml carries the two obligations that follow (keep
the linkage dynamic, ship libmpv's licence text with any bundle carrying
the .so). MPL-2.0 crates are file-level copyleft and fine unmodified.
Releases now publish SHA256SUMS (verified in-job with `sha256sum -c`
before upload) and a CycloneDX SBOM for both halves, so "does this
release contain <vulnerable crate>?" has an answer that is not "rebuild
the tag and re-resolve it".
Workflows pin jellytau-builder:2026.08 instead of :latest. While every
job said :latest, rebuilding the image changed what every build compiled
against, including rebuilds of old release tags.
Also folded in, because both were the same class of problem:
- publish-docs.yml downloaded mdBook from GitHub releases into
/usr/local/bin at job time -- a toolchain install in CI, which
CLAUDE.md explicitly forbids, and a hard dependency on GitHub's CDN
at publish time. It is in the builder image now.
- extract-traces.ts only ever read .ts/.svelte/.rs, so every
requirement implemented by *configuration* was invisible to the
matrix that measures it. DR-205, DR-206, DR-207 and DR-215 all carry
TRACES comments nothing read, and each counted as uncovered while
being covered. Coverage was really 90%, not 88%; MIN_THRESHOLD moves
to 89 accordingly. CI workflows stay excluded and there is a test
saying why: traceability-check.yml quotes "a TRACES: comment" beside
deliberately-undefined example IDs, which the extractor would read
as real traces and then fail its own dangling-ID check.
Supply-chain requirement is DR-216.
🔴 The builder image must be rebuilt and pushed
(scripts/build-builder-image.sh 2026.08) before this reaches master --
the workflows now name a tag and tools that do not exist in the registry
yet.
A spec was a promise; sixteen of them had become descriptions of code that
already shipped, sitting beside four that describe work still outstanding, with
nothing in the file telling the two apart. Half the statuses were also wrong —
audio-equalizer read "Accepted" with the EQ live on both platforms, the native
video spec said the flag stays off after the default was flipped on.
The shipped designs move into docs/architecture, which is the maintained
description of the build, and the spec files go. Git history keeps the
originals; what a future change still needs is carried across:
- 01-rust-backend: favourites rewritten (the old section named a file that no
longer exists and called shipped buttons "planned"), domain vocabulary owned
by Rust (SearchScope, exclusions, the bitrate ladder), background workers
- 02-svelte-frontend: app shell and chrome, library mosaic, series/episode
navigation, downloaded browse, safe-area insets, native-video store, logging
- 03-data-flow: locally-indexed search
- 05-platform-backends: audio settings on ExoPlayer, the equalizer's band
vocabulary, native video compositing, the background-audio handoff
- 06-downloads-and-offline: one storage model, offline catalog visibility
- 09-security: path confinement and input binding
docs/specs/README.md now says what the directory is for and where each shipped
design went. Deferred work the specs recorded is kept beside the code it
concerns rather than lost: season-bounded autoplay, the two dead search
commands, why indexing is a full crawl.
requirements.md had fourteen stale statuses — Android audio parity still read
"Linux only", DR-150 still said the native-video default was off, DR-190 was
Proposed after DR-196 implemented it, and five tooling requirements were
Proposed after landing. Three unbuilt specs suggested requirement ids that have
since been allocated to other work; each now carries a warning.
Formatting was configured but never enforced: `bun run format:check`
reported 199 unformatted files and ran in no workflow and in no git hook,
so .prettierrc (printWidth 100, trailing commas) described an intention
rather than the tree.
This is the one-time sweep that makes the check gateable. Whitespace and
token-reflow only -- no behavioural change: `bun run check` reports 0
errors and all 1053 frontend tests pass before and after.
Kept out of every other commit on purpose. A 199-file diff mixed with
real changes is unreviewable, and the next commit turns format:check
into a hard CI gate so this cannot silently accumulate again.
Adds the frontend's first linter and formatter — the Rust half has had
cargo fmt --check and clippy in CI for a while, while 274 TS/Svelte files had
only svelte-check. ESLint runs clean; 159 findings are recorded as warnings
rather than suppressed, so the backlog is visible without painting CI red.
Also: `bun run test` no longer drops into watch mode (the "Before Committing"
list told people to run a command that never returns), the traceability ratchet
moves 82% -> 88%, a pre-commit hook enforces the fast half of that list instead
of relying on memory, the dead webdriverio e2e suite and its five devDeps are
removed, and the Rust toolchain is pinned to 1.97.1 so the developer machine and
the CI builder image stop being five releases apart.
TRACES: | DR-205, DR-206, DR-207
Actual coverage is 90% (`bun run traces:coverage`), so the gate had ~8 points
of slack — a requirement could stop being traced and CI would not notice.
Per the ratchet policy in the workflow, move it up to sit just under the real
figure.
MIN_COVERAGE_PERCENT in scripts/extract-traces.ts moves in lockstep: the
workflow comment says to keep the two in sync and extract-traces.test.ts
asserts it, so changing only the YAML turns the frontend suite red.
(The stale "fails below 50%" comment in scripts/test-all.sh, wrong since the
threshold moved to 82, was corrected in the preceding commit along with the
rest of that file.)
docs/traceability.md emitted each trace's file link with the
repo-root-relative path as the href, but the file is written to docs/ —
so every one of the 2,793 links resolved to docs/src-tauri/... or
docs/src/... and 404'd, in the Gitea repo browser and on the published
mdBook site alike. The matrix is the artefact the whole TRACES system
exists to produce, and it was unnavigable.
The href now carries a ../ prefix; the visible link text stays
repo-root-relative, since that is the path a developer greps for.
This survived because the markdown generator had no test at all — the
existing suite covers counting, coverage and dangling IDs only. UT-202
now generates a link for a file that really exists, resolves the href
against docs/, and asserts the target is on disk; it fails against the
old output. Watched red before the fix, per the red-green rule.
The live-requirements counts move with the rows added in the previous
commit: UR 75 -> 76, DR 194 -> 200, total 337 -> 344.
Four gates that were documented but unenforced, plus the flaky test that
made a full-suite run untrustworthy.
Rust lint/format: CLAUDE.md has required `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy`
before every commit for as long as the rule existed, yet neither ran
anywhere in CI — the requirement rested on memory alone. Both now run in
build-and-test.yml and build-release.yml. rustfmt and clippy are already
baked into the builder image, so nothing is installed at job time.
`cargo fmt --all -- --check` is strict immediately (the tree is clean).
Clippy is advisory for now: ~51 pre-existing warnings mean `-D warnings`
would fail on unrelated work, so the step carries a TODO to flip the flag
once the backlog clears. A compile error still fails it, so it is not a
no-op.
Traceability threshold: MIN_THRESHOLD sat at 50 while real coverage was
86%, so nearly half the matrix could rot before the gate objected.
Ratcheted to 82 with the policy written down — it only ever goes up, and
is never lowered to make a red build pass. The same figure lives in
MIN_COVERAGE_PERCENT so `traces:coverage` gates locally on the same bar,
and a test fails if the two drift.
Dangling IDs: a TRACES comment could name any well-formed ID and the
extractor accepted it silently, so typos and renames that missed a call
site passed unnoticed. `bun run traces:validate` cross-checks every
traced ID against the table rows in requirements.md and fails with the
referencing files listed. It spans UT/IT as well, which the coverage
orphan list ignores by design. This currently reports DR-189 and UT-188,
which are being defined separately.
Flaky offlineCatalog test: the first dynamic import of the service paid
~1s to transform its dependency graph, charged to a test body against
vitest's 5s default. Alone it passed; under suite-wide contention it
timed out. The import is now warmed at collection time, so no test is
timing the compiler — the timeout is deliberately unchanged. The store
shim also drops subscribers from module instances discarded by
resetModules, which previously leaked across tests.
The coverage gate divided traced counts by hardcoded literals (UR/39,
IR/24, DR/48, JA/3, TOTAL_REQS=114) that had fallen out of date as
requirements grew to 211. It reported 158% coverage — JA alone printed
800% — so the 50% threshold was mathematically unreachable and the job
could not fail. Coverage could have collapsed to 30% and CI would still
have printed a green tick.
Real coverage is 86%. The number was fine; the gate was dead.
extract-traces.ts now owns both sides of the fraction:
- countDefinedRequirements() counts an ID only where it leads a markdown
table row, ignoring the "Traces To" column and prose. IDs are
deduplicated because requirements.md lists every UR twice (§1
definition + §3 matrix), which would otherwise report UR as 121/61.
- computeCoverage() uses the intersection of traced and defined IDs, so
a TRACES comment naming a deleted or typo'd requirement is reported as
`orphaned` rather than inflating the ratio past 100%. UT/IT test
identifiers are excluded as a separate taxonomy.
- CI reads .coverage.percent and fails on <50% or >100%; a >100% reading
is now a hard error rather than the condition that hid this bug.
- New `bun run traces:coverage` runs the same computation locally.
- scripts/ added to the scan roots — the coverage tool was invisible to
the matrix it generates.
Tests written first (15, over fixtures so they don't drift as
requirements are added). vitest include widened to scripts/** so build
tooling is covered by the normal suite.
Verified empirically rather than by inspection: forcing the threshold to
99% fails; adding a requirement lowers coverage 86%→85%; a TRACES: DR-999
lands in `orphaned` without changing `covered`.
traceability-ci.md documented the same stale numbers and would have let
the broken arithmetic be reconstructed — replaced with a pointer to the
live command.
