fix(release): create dist and build macOS x64 on a supported runner by gabrielvfonseca · Pull Request #142 · frontal-labs/code

gabrielvfonseca · 2026-11-11T10:33:47Z

Summary

The release workflow's CLI packaging step copied into dist/ before anything created that directory. On a clean checkout every platform build failed (linux-x64, linux-arm64, windows-x64), which is why v0.2.0, v0.2.1, and v0.2.2 had no binaries. This adds mkdir -p dist before the copy.

Verification

Failure reproduced in run 43003736247: cp: cannot create regular file 'dist/code-cli-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': No such file or directory after a successful release build.
The build itself compiles in every job; only the copy failed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Chores
- Updated the build environment used for macOS x64 releases.
- Improved release packaging so the command-line tool and its checksum are prepared consistently.
- These changes support more reliable release delivery without changing the command-line tool’s functionality or adding user-facing features. There are no changes to the tool’s public interface or behavior. No action is needed to benefit from these release process updates.

The CLI packaging step copied into dist/ before anything created it, so every release build failed on a clean checkout (linux, arm64, windows). The server step creates dist/ only later, so the first copy had nothing to write into. Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The macos-13 job stays queued, so the release never completes. Cross-compile x86_64 on the arm64 macos-14 runner instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Walkthrough

The release workflow changes the runner for the macOS x86_64 build and creates the CLI distribution directory before copying the binary and generating its checksum.

Changes: Release workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build and package CLI artifacts `.github/workflows/release.yml`	The macOS x86_64 build now uses `macos-14` for cross-compilation. The CLI packaging step creates `dist` before copying the binary and generating its checksum.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Suggested reviewers: frontal-labs

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 9f324

The release workflow still cannot build or publish the macOS x86_64 and arm64 binaries, because the macos-14 runner label has been retired. Switch both macOS jobs to a supported runner label before merging. The directory fix for the other platforms is sound.

Use a supported macOS runner.

GitHub retired all macOS 14 runner images on November 2, 2026. This job cannot run on the selected GitHub-hosted runner, so it cannot publish the x86_64 asset. The existing macOS arm64 job also needs a supported runner. Use a supported label for both jobs. (github.com)
