ci: build/test/check/doctor on macOS + Linux + automation smoke test#6
Merged
Conversation
Adds .github/workflows/ci.yml with two jobs: - verify (macOS + Linux): native doctor, validate, headless null-platform tests (native test -Dplatform=null), and strict markup/manifest check; macOS also builds the release binary. - smoke (Linux, Xvfb): builds the app with automation enabled, drives it headless through the embedded automation server, asserts the widget tree rendered non-blank, and uploads the deterministic screenshot. scripts/smoke.sh is the portable driver — Xvfb in CI, direct launch on a local desktop — so the same smoke test runs everywhere. Closes #2
Run the app under a private session bus (dbus-run-session) with the accessibility bus disabled (GTK_A11Y=none) so it no longer aborts on the missing a11y DBus service under Xvfb. Drop the GPU-dependent gpu_nonblank assertion — the semantics-tree and screenshot checks are GPU-independent and sufficient. Add dbus to the job's apt packages.
Ubuntu 24.04 GitHub runners set kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=1, which blocks the user namespace bubblewrap needs to sandbox the SDK's dbus-proxy (bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied). Relax the sysctl before launching the app.

Summary
Continuous integration as the merge gate, plus an automation-driven smoke test that proves the window actually opens and renders.
