ci: build and check packages in parallel and reuse verified trees in the merge queue (#944)
* ci: build and check packages in parallel

The Vue SDK's declarations used the tsc resolver, which took 21 of the 32 seconds a local package build takes; tsdown's default oxc resolver writes byte-identical output in 4 seconds. Packages now build level by level, each level's packages together, with their output printed whole. Package checks run npm and Bun packing side by side and ATTW on every core instead of two.

* ci: skip the merge queue's suites for a tree its PR already passed

The merge queue reran every check even when master had not moved, so the queued commit had exactly the tree the pull request's CI had just passed. A passing PR run now records that tree as a commit status on the PR head, and the queue's classification compares its own tree with it: a match runs only the always-on checks, anything else the full suites. Fork PRs cannot write the status and keep the full run.

* ci: accept a verified tree only from its pull request's passing CI run

Any writer can post a commit status, and another pull request's CI could post one on this head, so a status alone could skip the queue's suites. The record now links the run that wrote it, and the queue accepts it only when GitHub shows Actions created it and the run is this repository's CI workflow on pull_request, passed, and ran on this exact head. Recording no longer fails the gate when the status cannot be written. Parallel packs and builds now all settle before a failure is reported, so none writes into a directory that is being removed or rebuilt.

* refactor(ci): group the verified-tree lookup and recorder in one folder

Repo tooling, CI, and releases

Private tooling lives under tools/<role>/<domain>/{src,tests}; Steiger enforces the layout and kebab-case domain names. Every tool is a workspace named @open-pencil/<domain>-tools, listed literally in the root workspaces (the manifest schema rejects globs on purpose), so it can declare dependencies and run through bun --filter. bun run check:tools type-checks every tool through tools/tsconfig.json; bun run test:tools runs every tool with a test script. A tool imports its own files through its package.json imports alias (#ci/*, #release/*), other tools through their package name, and the docs site config through the shared #docs-config/* path.

Role Contract Domains
checks/ Read the tree and exit non-zero; never write inside the repository except an own baseline behind an explicit --write architecture, lint, i18n, secret-scan, type-shapes, docs, test-homes, package-quality
generate/ Write generated files or artifacts, idempotently brand, tauri-menu, authoring-reference, visual-oracles
release/ Build, verify, and publish packages and native artifacts package-artifacts, release-packages
ci/ Consumed by workflows: path classification and gate policy, container images, the review-guidance bot policy, images, pr-review-guidance
dev/ Test running and benchmarks for humans unit-tests, navigation-benchmark, dev-server
  • Nothing under generate/ or release/ runs from bun run check except through a check entrypoint; generate/authoring-reference keeps its check.ts beside generate.ts until it splits.
  • Resolve the workspace with resolveWorkspaceRoot from @open-pencil/package-artifacts-tools, not parent-directory traversal. Keep sibling imports relative.
  • checks/test-homes owns engine-baseline.txt and check:test-homes; dev/unit-tests owns the shard map and runner (tests/AGENTS.md).
  • No scripts/ entrypoints: root package.json scripts call tool files directly.

CI

  • .github/workflows/ci.yml and heavy-tests.yml define validation gates. PR CI always classifies changed paths through tools/ci/policy/src/policy.ts: root docs, package READMEs, every AGENTS.md, packages/docs Markdown and assets, and skill Markdown are docs-only; runtime prompt Markdown, executable examples, configuration, and unknown paths require code validation.
  • Docs-only changes run documentation integrity and the docs build; everything else runs the full suites. The aggregate CI result gate requires successful classification and every applicable job; failures, cancellations, and unexpected skips cannot pass. Do not restore workflow-level path filtering on required CI.
  • commitlint.config.ts enforces commit structure in the Commit messages job; the separate PR title workflow validates titles. Preserve the Release vX.Y.Z exception and product casing when changing rules; the known AI co-author check does not rewrite base history. Gate policy lives in tools/ci/policy/src/policy.ts.
  • tools/ci/policy runs right after Bun is set up, before any install, so it imports only Node built-ins; oxlint.json switches open-pencil/prefer-es-toolkit off there. Other CI tools install their workspace first, as pr-review-guidance.yml does through .github/actions/setup-bun.
  • Required checks must also run on merge_group, the merge queue's event; read base and head from merge_group.base_sha/head_sha there (ci.yml, pr-title.yml).
  • A passing pull request run records the tree it tested as the CI verified tree status on the PR head; a merge queue commit with that exact tree is classified verified and runs only the always-on checks. Any other tree, including a group with other PRs ahead, gets the full run (tools/ci/policy/src/verified-tree/).
  • App and docs production workflows run on v* tags or workflow_dispatch, not ordinary master pushes. build.yml checks the tooling out under .pipeline/ and runs tools/release/release-packages from there.

Releases

  • Update versions in the root and publishable package manifests plus desktop/tauri.conf.json and desktop/Cargo.toml; move Unreleased into ## x.y.z — YYYY-MM-DD; commit Release vX.Y.Z; tag and push vX.Y.Z.
  • .github/workflows/build.yml is the source of truth: v* tags (or dispatches for an immutable stable tag) build shared frontend/package outputs once, build signed desktop artifacts in parallel, verify and attest one complete same-run artifact set, publish npm packages, and replace the draft release assets using the exact changelog section. Policy, provenance, and recovery: tools/release/release-packages/README.md.
  • Public workspace packages are discovered by the package-artifacts catalog. Bun source exports require the complete src directory in package contents; Node exports use dist. Release preparation must preserve resolution maps. Prepared publish directories receive the root LICENSE when a package has none of its own, and every package needs a README.md because npm renders it. Publishing uses prepared npm tarballs verified through the shared Node/Bun consumer checks; never publish package directories manually. test:packages first runs the packaging guards in tools/checks/package-quality/src/smoke/guards.ts: fixture manifests packed with the real npm pack that must trip the tarball inspector and the Node/Bun consumer checks before those checks vouch for real packages.
  • Ensure Tauri and Apple signing/notarization secrets are configured. Verify the draft title, body, and artifacts, then publish. Release titles are exactly the tag (vX.Y.Z) without a product-name prefix.
  • Homebrew's openpencil cask is managed upstream: BrewTestBot proposes bumps and Homebrew merges them. Check the upstream cask PR after publication; do not push to the archived custom tap or add bump automation. Users install the app with brew install --cask openpencil and the CLI through npm or Bun.

Brand assets

Canonical artwork lives in assets/brand/ (main mark and optical micro master; see its README). tools/generate/brand/ derives web, docs, and native icons with RealFaviconGenerator and Tauri; generated assets are ignored, not committed. Vite and VitePress configs prepare their own targets, and Tauri dev/build hooks prepare native icons.
