Housekeeping 🧹
A quick patch to fix Windows compilation, remove orphaned dependencies, and reorganize test files. No feature changes, no security fixes — just build hygiene that was blocking the CI matrix expansion in v0.56.2.
🪟 Windows build fix
The v0.56.0 release introduced platform-specific code in the serve module's subprocess handling. The Windows #[cfg(not(unix))] block referenced a moved variable, breaking compilation on Windows targets. Fixed by restructuring the subprocess cleanup to use piped reads + child.wait() on all platforms.
📦 Orphaned dependencies removed
cargo machete found unused workspace dependencies that accumulated during the v0.55-v0.56 sprint. Cleaned up.
🧪 Test reorganization
10 edge-case test workflows were scattered between docs/tests/ and the repository root. This patch:
- Moved edge-case workflows to
tests/edge-cases/ - Removed 10 orphaned
.nika.yamlfiles from the repo root (leftover from development) - Updated CI
validate-workflowspaths to match the new layout - Fixed broken documentation tests
Note
If you had local scripts referencing test workflow paths in the repo, update them to the new tests/edge-cases/ location.
