This public repository hosts release automation and versioned Kition runtime binaries for local client development and desktop packaging. Runtime source code is never stored in this repository.
Use the Releases page to download the runtime version pinned by the Kition client. Each release provides platform archives, a manifest, checksums, provenance metadata, and binary SBOMs.
The Kition desktop installers for end users are published separately in the Kition releases.
Runtime binaries are governed by the RUNTIME-LICENSE.txt file included in
each platform archive.
The Build Runtime Release Assets workflow checks out the private
KitionAI/kition-runtime repository with a credential stored only as an
Actions secret, validates the selected source revision, and builds signed
runtime archives for macOS arm64, macOS x64, Windows x64, and Linux x64. Only
verified binary release artifacts leave the private source checkout.
After verification, the workflow uploads the runtime assets to the
kition-dev draft Release, stages the same assets on the installer draft in
KitionAI/kition, and publishes the runtime Release. Large binaries do not
round-trip through a maintainer workstation.
Maintainers dispatch the complete guarded release flow from KitionAI/kition
with pnpm release:github <version>.
