Summary

  • Generates SHA-256 checksums for release artifacts in release.yml (epic 005, Phase 4 US2, T011): .github/scripts/generate-checksums.sh writes <file>.sha256, referencing the artifact by basename so a downloader with both files side-by-side can verify.
  • Only generates checksums here — actual upload happens in T012's atomic release-creation call (same staging-now/publish-in-T012 split as T010, per plan.md's Key Design Decision docs(ADR-0001): 2026-07 status note — Turso blockers hold, appetite shifts #7).
  • Test-first (Constitution I): .github/scripts/tests/test-generate-checksums.sh written and confirmed red before the script existed, green after (8/8 assertions) — happy path, basename-not-absolute-path, real sha256sum -c verification, a tampered-artifact negative case, a genuine multi-arg invocation, missing-argument and nonexistent-file error cases.
  • Also deduped TARGET to job-level env (was repeated per-step) and refreshed the workflow's stale "through T009" least-privilege comment.

Test plan

  • sha256sum/shasum -a 256 fallback confirmed (sha256sum present here; fallback path exercised via the script's command -v check)
  • End-to-end against the real release binary: build → package → checksum → shasum -a 256 -c reports OK
  • Fixture suite: 8/8 (red before implementing, green after)
  • make build / make test green
  • Self-review (pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer) caught 3 real issues, all fixed before push: the multi-artifact test case never actually called the script with more than one argument at a time; a bare function call under set -euo pipefail would have aborted the test suite silently on a real verification failure instead of reporting it; and the task note still said "published checksum file" — the same word cubic-dev-ai flagged as overpromising on T010, in the entry just reworded specifically to avoid it

🧙 Built with WOZCODE

Summary by Sourcery

Add SHA-256 checksum generation to the release workflow and mark the corresponding release-versioning task as completed.

New Features:

  • Introduce a generate-checksums.sh script to produce SHA-256 checksum files for release artifacts using built-in hashing utilities.
  • Integrate checksum generation into the release.yml workflow immediately after packaging the release binary.

Enhancements:

  • Deduplicate the TARGET configuration by moving it to a job-level environment variable in the release workflow.
  • Clarify least-privilege comments in release.yml to reflect that the workflow now includes packaging and checksum generation while still deferring publishing to a later task.

Documentation:

  • Update the 005-ci-release-versioning task spec to reflect that T011 now only stages checksum files and defers publishing to T012, documenting completion details and verification approach.

Tests:

  • Add a fixture-based bash test suite for generate-checksums.sh covering successful verification, basename-only references, tampering detection, multi-artifact invocations, and error handling for missing or nonexistent files.

Summary by cubic

Generates SHA-256 checksums for release artifacts to enable download verification. Previously no checksums were produced; now the workflow writes <artifact>.sha256 next to each packaged binary and safely handles dash-prefixed filenames.

  • Adds .github/scripts/generate-checksums.sh using sha256sum with shasum -a 256 fallback; detects the hash tool once; emits basename-referenced lines and passes -- to support names like -artifact.
  • Integrates the checksum step after packaging in release.yml; moves TARGET to job-level env; maintains least-privilege (no contents: write), with publishing deferred to T012.
  • Adds .github/scripts/tests/test-generate-checksums.sh covering verification with -c, tamper detection, multi-arg invocation, dash-prefixed names, and error cases; strengthens tests to assert each .sha256 records the correct basename; verified end-to-end against the built binary.
  • Satisfies epic 005 T011 (FR-012, SC-007).

Written for commit 1753d2c. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Release packages now include adjacent SHA-256 checksum files.
    • Checksum generation supports multiple artifacts and common Linux and macOS tools.
    • Release artifacts are named consistently for the supported platform.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for checksum verification, tampered files, invalid inputs, missing files, multiple artifacts, and special filenames.
  • Documentation
    • Updated release workflow documentation and task tracking to include checksum generation.

… 005 T011)

Test-first (Constitution I): fixture test written and confirmed red
before generate-checksums.sh existed, green after. sha256sum with a
shasum -a 256 fallback (macOS has no sha256sum by default), no new
dependency, per plan.md's Key Design Decision #6. Checksum file
references its artifact by basename, not the build machine's absolute
path, so a downloader with both files side-by-side can verify.

Wired into release.yml immediately after T010's packaging step. Also
deduped the TARGET env var to job level (was repeated per-step) and
refreshed the workflow's least-privilege comment, which still said
"through T009".

Self-review (pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer) caught three real
issues before push: the "multiple artifacts" test case only ever
called the script with one argument at a time, never exercising the
for-loop with two files in a single invocation; a bare function call
under set -euo pipefail would have aborted the suite silently on a
real verification failure instead of reporting it; and the task note
still said "published checksum file" -- the same overpromising word
cubic-dev-ai flagged on T010, in the entry that had just been reworded
specifically to avoid it. All three fixed.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds portable SHA-256 checksum generation, fixture-based validation, and release workflow integration. The workflow packages the target artifact, creates its checksum file, and tracks T011 as complete.

Changes

Checksum release generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checksum generation script
.github/scripts/generate-checksums.sh
The script validates inputs and files, selects sha256sum or shasum -a 256, and creates adjacent basename-based .sha256 files.
Checksum behavior tests
.github/scripts/tests/test-generate-checksums.sh
Fixture tests cover valid checksums, basename references, tampering, multiple artifacts, dash-prefixed filenames, missing arguments, and nonexistent files.
Release workflow integration
.github/workflows/release.yml, specs/005-ci-release-versioning/tasks.md
The release job uses the target for package naming, generates the package checksum, and marks T011 complete with verification details.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0d7ed

The release workflow now generates sidecar SHA-256 files, but a mixed valid/missing input can leave an incomplete set of checksum files after failure. That could produce an incomplete release staging set, so merge should wait for prevalidation or cleanup behavior, or explicit owner acceptance; the remaining test issues are minor.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • In generate-checksums.sh, command -v sha256sum/shasum is run inside sha_cmd for every file; consider detecting the available checksum command once up front and reusing it to avoid repeated lookups and to fail fast if neither is present.
  • generate-checksums.sh exits on the first nonexistent file, which prevents checksums for later valid artifacts from being generated; if partial progress is acceptable, you could instead report the missing file and continue processing the remaining arguments.

Comment thread .github/scripts/tests/test-generate-checksums.sh
cubic-dev-ai (confidence 9): a basename starting with `-` was parsed
as an option by sha256sum/shasum instead of a filename. Added `--`
before the filename in generate-checksums.sh. The test helper's own
verification call had the identical bug -- caught only once the
dash-prefixed regression test was added, since the happy-path fixture
never used a dash-prefixed name.

Also: detect the checksum tool once up front instead of per-file
(sourcery), and strengthen the multi-arg test to verify each
artifact's checksum content, not just file existence (cubic
confidence 7) -- existence alone wouldn't catch the for-loop
attributing the wrong checksum to the wrong file.

In generate-checksums.sh, command -v sha256sum/shasum is run inside sha_cmd for every file; consider detecting the available checksum command once up front...

Agreed, fixed in 0d7eda8 — the tool is now detected once before the loop, and fails fast with a clear message if neither exists.

generate-checksums.sh exits on the first nonexistent file, which prevents checksums for later valid artifacts from being generated; if partial progress is acceptable, you could instead report the missing file and continue...

Declining: fail-fast on any invalid input is intentional here and matches this epic's existing scripts (validate-release-tag.sh, previous-release-tag.sh both fail hard rather than proceed partially). A release pipeline silently producing a partial checksum set for some artifacts but not others is worse than failing the whole run — that's exactly the kind of "no partial/invalid release" invariant FR-008 exists to protect. Current usage also only ever passes a single artifact path, so this doesn't affect anything today; multi-artifact partial-progress semantics would be worth reconsidering if/when the multi-platform matrix build lands.

96-114: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Cover a valid artifact followed by a missing artifact.

The failure tests use only one invalid input at a time. The generator validates and writes each argument sequentially, so "$script" "$tmp/valid" "$tmp/missing" can create valid.sha256 before returning failure. That leaves partial checksum output, contrary to the release-integrity objective. Add a regression that asserts failure and no partial output, then prevalidate all inputs before writing or remove outputs on failure.

Replace the $? command substitutions with explicit status checks.

These expressions rely on echo $? reading the status of [ -f ... ]. ShellCheck reports SC2319. Use an explicit if or a helper that passes 0 or 1 to check. This prevents a later edit from reporting the wrong assertion result.

coderabbitai: sha256sum -c only confirms the hash matches SOME file
with the recorded name, not that the name is the one actually
expected -- a checksum_records_basename helper now cross-checks each
.sha256 file's recorded filename field directly, catching a bug that
would attribute one artifact's record to another's file. Also
replaced the $([ -f ... ]; echo $?) existence-check pattern with an
explicit check_file_exists helper throughout, for readability and
consistency with the rest of the suite's if/else style.

Update the multi-argument checksum assertions in test-generate-checksums.sh to replace the "$([ -f ... ]; echo $?)" substitutions with explicit file-existence status checks...

Agreed, fixed in 1753d2c — replaced with an explicit check_file_exists helper. Applied it to all four occurrences of that pattern in the file (not just the two flagged), for consistency.
