v0.1.4 GNU Linux artifacts were built on Ubuntu 24.04 and imported GLIBC_2.38/2.39. that makes the public ARM64 package fail on a glibc 2.35 host before Satelle can start.

this pins cargo-zigbuild 0.23.0 and Zig 0.15.2 with reviewed checksums, targets GLIBC 2.17 for both GNU Linux artifacts, and keeps the other four platform builds native. the release job now inspects each GNU binary and fails if it imports a newer glibc symbol.

proof:

  • release workflow contract: 64/64 pass in Yoga
  • facts lint: 1 file passed in Yoga
  • Linux ARM64 artifact: maximum imported version GLIBC_2.17, then executed on glibc 2.35
  • Linux x64 artifact: maximum imported version GLIBC_2.17
  • exact workflow tool archives and checksums verified against upstream release assets

GitHub Actions is the final native x64 and complete six-target gate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added reliable GNU/Linux release builds targeting a defined GLIBC 2.17 compatibility floor.
    • Added automated verification to ensure generated binaries do not require newer GLIBC versions.
    • Added pinned, checksum-verified build tools for consistent cross-platform releases.
  • Tests

    • Expanded release validation to cover cross-compilation, toolchain setup, target configuration, and ABI compatibility.

Greptile Summary

The PR updates GNU/Linux release builds to target GLIBC 2.17 while retaining native builds for macOS and Windows.

  • Pins checksum-verified cargo-zigbuild and Zig archives for Linux x64 and ARM64 runners.
  • Adds a release-time check of imported GLIBC symbol versions.
  • Extends release infrastructure tests to assert the new matrix, toolchain, build, and ABI-gate configuration.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
.github/workflows/release.yml Adds pinned GNU cross-build tooling, GLIBC 2.17 targets, and an ABI verification gate while preserving native builds for the other platforms.
npm/test/release-infrastructure.test.cjs Extends workflow contract assertions to cover the GNU target matrix, pinned downloads and checksums, zigbuild invocation, and ABI verification step.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow now cross-compiles GNU Linux targets with pinned cargo-zigbuild and Zig toolchains against GLIBC 2.17. It validates the produced binary’s maximum GLIBC requirement. Native builds remain unchanged for macOS, Windows, and other non-GNU targets. Tests cover the new workflow steps.

Changes

GNU release ABI enforcement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release matrix and toolchain setup
.github/workflows/release.yml
The matrix assigns GLIBC 2.17 to GNU Linux targets. GNU jobs install pinned, checksum-verified cargo-zigbuild and Zig toolchains.
Target-specific release builds
.github/workflows/release.yml
GNU targets use cargo zigbuild with the configured GLIBC floor. Targets without a GLIBC value use native Cargo builds.
ABI validation and workflow coverage
.github/workflows/release.yml, npm/test/release-infrastructure.test.cjs
GNU artifacts are checked with readelf. Tests verify matrix values, toolchain checksums, build targets, and ABI-floor enforcement.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5c56b

The release workflow can hang while downloading or extracting build tools, potentially exhausting the job budget before release gates run. The change is mergeable with owner awareness and follow-up to add explicit command time limits.
