feat(release): generate SHA-256 checksums for release artifacts (epic 005 T011) - #54
Conversation
… 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. Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe 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. ChangesChecksum release generation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 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/shasumis run insidesha_cmdfor 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.shexits 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.

## Overall Comments
- 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.Help me be more useful!

Re-trigger cubic
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. Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Agreed, fixed in 0d7eda8 — the tool is now detected once before the loop, and fails fast with a clear message if neither exists.
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. |

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 createvalid.sha256before 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.Suggested regression coverage

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. Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
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. |
