feat(release): Windows arm64 build + installer (#187) - #188
Merged
Conversation
Add a win-arm64 leg to the release matrix on the native windows-11-arm runner (free for public repos), mirroring linux-arm64/ubuntu-24.04-arm: AOT TUI links natively and the MAUI/WinUI3 GUI builds against arm64 WindowsAppSDK packs. It reuses the existing Velopack pack + Azure Trusted Signing path (own win-arm64 channel) and ships Kindel.WinPrint-win-arm64-Setup.exe. Rolled out as an EXPERIMENTAL leg (continue-on-error) so that, until it's proven on real arm64 hardware (Velopack's win-arm64 packer is newer — velopack#85), a failure can't block the x64/macOS/Linux release publish. Also gate the win-arm64 AOT TUI build in PR CI (aot-publish) to catch regressions early, and widen the winget installers-regex to win-(x64|arm64) so the manifest gets both arches. Can't be validated locally (no Windows/arm64). PR CI validates the arm64 AOT TUI compile; the GUI+Velopack+signing legs run on a release (or a workflow_dispatch from develop, where the Azure OIDC federated creds match).

What
Adds a Windows arm64 build + installer to the release, so
winget/ direct download offer a native arm64 package alongside x64.win-arm64leg on the nativewindows-11-armrunner (free for public repos — GA Aug 2025), mirroring howlinux-arm64usesubuntu-24.04-arm. AOT TUI links natively; the MAUI/WinUI3 GUI builds against arm64 WindowsAppSDK packs. Reuses the existing Velopack pack + Azure Trusted Signing path with its ownwin-arm64channel → shipsKindel.WinPrint-win-arm64-Setup.exe.continue-on-error: ${{ matrix.experimental == true }}). If arm64 breaks, x64/macOS/Linux still publish — it can't block a release. Remove theexperimentalflag once it's proven on real hardware.win-arm64to theaot-publishmatrix so the arm64 AOT TUI compile is gated on every PR (not just at release).installers-regextowin-(x64|arm64)-Setup\.exe$so the auto-update manifest includes both arches.Validation
I can't test Windows (let alone arm64) locally, so:
aot-publish (win-arm64)) validates the arm64 AOT TUI build natively.release.yml— on a real tag, or aworkflow_dispatchfromdevelop/main(Azure OIDC federated creds only match those branches, not feature branches).Recommended before relying on it: after merge to develop, trigger
release.ymlviaworkflow_dispatchfrom develop to dry-run the full matrix (incl. arm64 GUI/Velopack/sign). Because the leg is experimental, even a real release is safe — a broken arm64 leg just won't ship that arch.Known risk: Velopack's win-arm64 packer is newer (velopack#85) — hence the experimental gating.
