sr 7.0.1

sr 7.0.1

[7.0.1] - 2026-10-12

Release-engineering patch: fixes the pipeline defects that stopped v7.0.0
from producing a GitHub Release, and aligns the declared Python floor with
what the code has required since 7.0.0. No behavioural changes to sr
itself — same commands, same exit codes, same session format.

Fixed

• The release workflow could never publish. It verified the built asset
  with sha256sum -c build/sr.pyz.sha256 from the repository root, but the
  checksum file names the asset bare (<digest> sr.pyz) and sha256sum -c
  resolves that name against the working directory — so the v7.0.0 release
  died with sr.pyz: No such file or directory. The step now runs the check
  from build/. The released asset pair itself was always correct: download
  sr.pyz and sr.pyz.sha256 into one directory and run
  sha256sum -c sr.pyz.sha256 there.
• A CI gate line that could never pass. The checksum-name gate grepped
  the installer for ASSET = "sr.pyz" (with spaces) while
  scripts/install.sh has always said ASSET="sr.pyz". The gate now greps
  the real spelling and additionally pins the bare-name ↔ cd build pairing
  in the release workflow and the build tool.
• The CI man-page comparison was a calendar time bomb. A raw diff -u
  included the generated .TH date line, so the gate only passed while the
  runner's date matched the day the page was committed. CI now uses
  build_manpage.py --check, which ignores the date.
• The installer job relied on the runner image carrying pytest for its
  fail-closed updater gate; it now installs pytest explicitly.

Changed

• Minimum Python is 3.10 (declared: 3.9 — and broken there). 7.0.0 used
  dataclass(slots=True), a 3.10 feature, in 36 places, so both 3.9 CI legs
  died during collection and a real 3.9 install would have failed on import.
  requires-python, the classifiers, the CI matrix (3.10/3.11/3.13/3.14 on
  Linux + macOS, 3.12 on Linux), install.sh, sr-cli, the npm launcher and
  sr doctor now declare the same floor, and a structural test keeps them
  from drifting apart again. Python 3.9 environments keep the 6.x Bash
  implementation from the v6.1.0 release assets.

Added

• make workflow-check (tools/check_workflows.py) — the gate that was
  missing. It parses .github/workflows/*.yml, syntax-checks every run:
  block and executes the hermetic workflow steps verbatim, with the
  workflows' own environment, so a workflow line that disagrees with the
  repository fails locally before the push instead of on a runner after the
  tag. tests/test_workflows.py re-runs both steps that died on the
  v7.0.0 runners as regression tests.
