Issue being fixed or feature implemented

apt cannot order dashmate's Debian packages, and nothing we publish can be verified.

oclif builds the deb version as <upstream>.<git sha>-1. That discards the semver prerelease tag and makes the git sha an ordering component — and under dpkg's comparison digits sort below letters, so ordering between builds is effectively random. Verified against the real published 4.1.0 series:

transition deb versions apt verdict
beta.2 → rc.1 4.1.0.08152ea51e-1 vs 4.1.0.ae554fdd83-1 refused as a downgrade
rc.1 → rc.2 4.1.0.3de436123d-1 vs 4.1.0.08152ea51e-1 refused as a downgrade
rc.2 → rc.3 4.1.0.61be67f7bf-1 vs 4.1.0.3de436123d-1 upgrade
rc.3 → 4.1.0 4.1.0.bfc80249b9-1 vs 4.1.0.61be67f7bf-1 upgrade

Two of four real transitions are read as downgrades. Worse, a same-version security rebuild never ships: with 4.1.0.bfc80249b9-1 installed, a hotfix built from a later commit compares lower, so apt reports the package as already newest and the operator believes they are patched.

Separately, nothing in the release is verifiable — no checksums, no signatures beyond the macOS notarisation, and the apt metadata oclif generates is uploaded unsigned and unserved.

What was done?

Monotonic Debian versions. 4.1.0~rc.3-1 sorts below 4.1.0-1; rebuilds bump the Debian revision; the git sha moves into the package description where it cannot affect ordering. Filenames deliberately diverge from the control version, because GitHub rewrites ~ and : in release asset names — the control field keeps them, the filename drops them, and dpkg-name strips epochs from filenames for the same reason.

A release-blocking ordering gate. It reads every version from the published package via dpkg-deb -f rather than deriving it from a tag, and the packaging job then asserts the built package carries the version that was gated — so the check binds to the bytes that ship.

Verifiable releases. Every published asset is hashed into a deterministic SHA256SUMS, in a job that checks out nothing and installs nothing, so no dependency lifecycle script can run beside the signing key that job will later hold. Each packaging leg records the hashes it produced and the checksum job refuses any asset it did not build. npm packages publish with provenance where the registry accepts it. Third-party actions are pinned to commit SHAs, Binaryen is checksummed, and the jobs holding credentials name environments so tag and reviewer policies attach to them.

How Has This Been Tested?

Verified against real dpkg (installed locally) rather than a port of its algorithm: every transition in the 4.1.0 series now sorts strictly upward, and dpkg ordering agrees with semver precedence across all 15 prerelease forms the mapping can produce. The version mapping is injection-proof (shell metacharacters, command substitution, embedded newlines all rejected) and the round-trip preserves symlinks, hardlinks, conffiles, maintainer scripts and exec bits.

Not executed: apt-ftparchive index regeneration needs a Linux host, and no real release run has exercised the workflow changes. Both are recorded as gates rather than assumed.

Breaking Changes

Debian package filenames and versions change shape. A rebuild of an already-published version needs DASHMATE_DEB_REVISION; re-releasing a version published under the old scheme needs DASHMATE_DEB_EPOCH, because 4.1.0-1 sorts below the old 4.1.0.bfc80249b9-1.

The change adds Debian version conversion and release-baseline tooling, moves release validation and checksum logic into scripts, rewrites Debian packages after oclif packaging, updates release publishing, pins actions, changes installation instructions, and updates package metadata.

Changes

Dashmate release packaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Debian version conversion and comparison
packages/dashmate/scripts/deb-version.js, packages/dashmate/scripts/check-deb-version.sh, packages/dashmate/test/unit/packaging/debVersion.spec.js
Semver conversion, Debian filename conversion, dpkg comparison, CLI handling, and version-ordering tests are added.
Debian release baseline selection
packages/dashmate/scripts/deb-release-baseline.js, packages/dashmate/test/unit/packaging/debReleaseBaseline.spec.js
Published releases are grouped by minor line and filtered for matching amd64 Debian assets. Baseline selection and CLI behavior are tested.
Debian package rewriting
scripts/pack_dashmate.sh
Generated Debian packages receive converted versions and commit descriptions. Packages, APT indexes, release metadata, and optional signatures are regenerated.
Release gate and artifact verification
packages/dashmate/scripts/check-release-deb-version.sh, packages/dashmate/scripts/check-built-deb-version.sh, packages/dashmate/scripts/record-built-checksums.sh, .github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow calls standalone scripts to compare release versions, validate built package versions, and record checksums.
Release workflow and installation updates
.github/workflows/release.yml, .github/actions/rust/action.yaml, .github/actions/sccache/action.yaml, packages/dashmate/docs/installation.md
Action references are pinned. Checkout credentials are not persisted. NPM packages use provenance. Installation downloads the latest architecture-specific Debian package.
Package repository metadata
packages/*/package.json
Package manifests update selected versions and identify the Dash Platform repository and package directory.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 68aed

The release changes expand package provenance behavior, but Dashmate’s package metadata is missing its monorepo subdirectory, which may prevent npm from identifying the package correctly. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to add repository.directory.

Reject epochs with leading zeros.

EPOCH_REGEX accepts 01, so DASHMATE_DEB_EPOCH=01 yields 01:4.1.0-1. dpkg parses the epoch numerically, so 01: and 1: compare equal while the control field text differs from the value the release gate echoes and the packaging check compares as a string. The Check the built deb carries the validated version step in .github/workflows/release.yml compares version strings exactly, so any normalization difference becomes a hard failure. Restrict the epoch the same way the numeric identifier is restricted.

dpkg --compare-versions exits 2 when either argument is not a parsable Debian version.

699-720: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The published-asset check is one-directional.

The loop proves that every published hash came from a packaging job. It does not prove that every built package reached the release. If an asset is deleted or an upload silently fails, SHA256SUMS simply omits it and the step reports success. The comment at Line 678 states that apt publication refuses any package whose hash is not in the signed file, so a missing entry becomes a silent omission of a package rather than a detected fault.

Add the reverse check: every hash recorded by a packaging job must appear in SHA256SUMS.

             echo "::error::Published assets do not match the built packages; refusing to publish checksums"

Preliminary review — Codex only

The workflow improves privilege separation and release verification, but three blocking gaps remain. The checksum gate does not bind hashes to filenames or require all built artifacts to be present, the Debian baseline can be selected using release creation order instead of publication order, and mutable actions inside local composites undermine the PR's action-pinning guarantee.

Validated blockers were found in the Codex precheck. Sonnet is deferred until a fresh Codex revalidation clears the blocker gate.

Review provenance

  • Codex reviewers: gpt-5.6-sol — general (completed)
  • Verifier: gpt-5.6-sol — verifier
  • Sonnet: not run (deferred by blocker gate)

In `.github/workflows/release.yml`:
- [BLOCKING] .github/workflows/release.yml:699-720: Bind published checksums to filenames and require completeness
  The verification reduces the build records to a set of hashes and only checks that each published hash appears in that set. Removing a built asset therefore still passes, and bytes built for one architecture can be published under another architecture's filename because that hash was produced by some matrix leg. This can produce and later sign an incomplete or mislabeled SHA256SUMS. Normalize the recorded paths to release basenames and compare the complete `(hash, filename)` sets in both directions.
- [BLOCKING] .github/workflows/release.yml:394-403: Order Debian baselines by publication time
  The candidate list is intended to represent releases in the order operators could install them, but it sorts by `created_at`. A release can be created as a draft and published after another release created later. On a rerun, an older-created current release can then lose to its predecessor even though the current release already has a Debian asset, allowing a same-version rebuild to pass without incrementing the Debian revision. Sort by `published_at` so the gate compares against the most recently exposed package.
- [BLOCKING] .github/workflows/release.yml:58-72: Pin third-party actions used by local composites
  The PR explicitly claims that third-party actions are pinned, but the local Rust and sccache composites invoked after DockerHub login still resolve `dtolnay/rust-toolchain@master` and `mozilla-actions/sccache-action@v0.0.6`. Those mutable external actions execute in the credential-bearing build job and can modify the workspace before `yarn build`; the resulting artifact is then packaged, hashed, and published by the new release path. Pin the external `uses` references in `.github/actions/rust/action.yaml:42` and `.github/actions/sccache/action.yaml:80` to full commit SHAs.

downgrades. A same-version security rebuild is worse still, since it compares
lower and apt reports the package as already newest while the operator believes
they are patched.

Versions are now Debian-idiomatic and monotonic: 4.1.0~rc.3-1 sorts below
4.1.0-1, rebuilds bump the Debian revision, and the sha moves into the package
description where it cannot affect ordering. Verified against real dpkg, which
also confirms this ordering agrees with semver precedence for every prerelease
form the mapping can produce.

Filenames deliberately diverge from the control version: GitHub rewrites the
tilde and colon in release asset names, so both are stripped from the filename
while the control field keeps them. dpkg-name strips epochs from filenames for
the same reason.

BREAKING CHANGE: Debian package filenames and versions change shape. A rebuild
of an already published version needs DASHMATE_DEB_REVISION, and re-releasing a
version published under the old scheme needs DASHMATE_DEB_EPOCH.

Test would have caught this in CI: 4 of the new specs fail before the fix.

Nothing published today can be verified: there are no checksums, no signatures
beyond the macOS notarisation, and the apt metadata oclif generates is uploaded
unsigned and unserved. This adds the pieces that do not depend on where the
repository will eventually be hosted.

Every published asset is now hashed into a deterministic SHA256SUMS, in a job
that checks out nothing and installs nothing so no dependency lifecycle script
can run beside the signing key that job will later hold. Each packaging leg
records the hashes it produced and the checksum job refuses any asset it did not
build, so the file attests what was built rather than whatever is attached.

npm packages publish with provenance where the registry will accept it, which
required correcting dashmate's own repository field; the rest publish as before
with a warning naming the manifest to fix, so a metadata gap cannot fail a
release mid-loop.

The Debian version gate refuses a release apt would read as a downgrade. It
reads every version from the published package rather than deriving it from a
tag, and the packaging job asserts the built package carries the version that
was gated, so the check binds to the bytes that ship.

Third-party actions are pinned to commit SHAs, Binaryen is checksummed, and the
jobs holding credentials name environments so tag and reviewer policies can be
attached to them.

Note the npm publish job cannot avoid running install scripts, because packing
runs prepack and prepublishOnly hooks. That exposure is documented in the
workflow rather than claimed to be solved.

The release workflow pins the actions it names directly, but reaches two
more through the local composite actions it calls, and both resolved to a
ref their owner can move: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@master is a branch, and
mozilla-actions/sccache-action@v0.0.6 is a tag. Both run in jobs that have
already logged in to DockerHub, so whoever moves the ref runs with those
credentials.

Both shas were resolved from the GitHub API. dtolnay/rust-toolchain's
master head is also what its v1 tag points at, so the trailing comment
names the version rather than a date.
…by publication

Two holes in the release gates, both letting through exactly what the
gates exist to catch.

The checksum gate reduced the build records to a bare set of hashes and
only asked whether each published hash appeared in it. Removing a built
package therefore still passed, and bytes built for one architecture could
be served under another architecture's file name, because that hash had
been produced by some matrix leg. The records are now kept under the name
the file is published as - a release has no directories, so the upload
flattens every build path to its basename - and the complete (hash, name)
sets are compared in both directions: every built package must be
published, and every published package must match what was built.

Scoping the listing to the packages this workflow built also settles what
it should say about assets other release jobs attach. It has no build
record for those, so listing them would attest artifacts it knows nothing
about, and would depend on whether those jobs had finished yet.

The Debian baseline was chosen by creation date. A release drafted early
and published late reaches operators after releases created after it, so a
rerun of such a release measured itself against its predecessor instead of
against the package it had already shipped, and a same-version rebuild
passed the gate while apt would report it as already the newest version -
the same defect the gate is there to prevent. It now orders by publication.

The baseline choice moved out of the workflow into scripts/, alongside the
version mapping it feeds, because embedded in YAML it could not be tested.
Against the previous ordering the new rerun test fails, picking the
predecessor's package: 12 passing 1 failing before, 13 passing after.

Verified with the real dpkg: the published 4.1.0 series still sorts
strictly upward through beta.2, rc.1, rc.2, rc.3, 4.1.0 and 4.1.1, and
4.1.0-1 still sorts below the already published 4.1.0.bfc80249b9-1.
The checksum gate was exercised against a fake release: an asset removed
and an architecture swapped both pass the old check and fail the new one.
…hecksums

The guard at the start of the job cannot cover the whole run. A maintainer can
attach SHA256SUMS.asc while the packages are being downloaded and verified, and
the upload would then replace the file that signature covers, leaving a valid
looking signature over bytes it never saw.

The install step globbed for the package, so a directory holding an older
release or the other architecture's package handed apt every match. It now
installs exactly the file the download step selected.

Also guards the signing key variable against being unset, so enabling strict
mode later cannot abort an ordinary unsigned local build.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Checkout keeps the token available to every later step in the job by default.
None of these jobs uses git authentication after checking out, and the packaging
jobs hold signing material, so the credential is no longer left behind them.

The version tests also inherited the environment, so exporting the rebuild
revision in the shell that runs them changed what the script printed and failed
an assertion. Reproducible through the rebuild procedure this branch documents.

Test would have caught this in CI: with the revision exported, 1 case fails
before the fix.

…ckage

The deb versioning scripts lived at the repository root under snake_case
names while the package they serve is dashmate, and the release workflow
carried a hundred lines of inline bash that could only be exercised by
pushing a tag.

The three scripts move to packages/dashmate/scripts/ under kebab-case
names, matching the scripts already there. The dashmate package is ESM,
so the two JS files trade module.exports and require.main for exports and
an import.meta.url main check; nothing else about them changes.

Three workflow steps become invocations of scripts a release engineer can
run locally: the version gate, the check that the built deb carries the
validated version, and the checksum recording. Every comment, error
message and exit code moves with the logic it explains.

The checksums job's three remaining bash steps stay inline. That job
deliberately has no checkout so that no repository script runs beside the
signing material, and extracting them would mean adding one.

release.yml: 762 -> 662 lines.
Fourteen manifests declared no repository and four still pointed at the
standalone dashevo repositories these packages moved out of years ago, so npm
showed the wrong source for them and would not accept a provenance attestation.

That gap was previously worked around in the release workflow, which classified
each workspace at publish time and split the release into an attested batch and
a plain one so a manifest could not fail the run. With the metadata correct the
workaround is unnecessary and publishing is a single command again.

…ompare

The baseline version is read with dpkg-deb, which ran before the comparison
script checked that dpkg exists. A host without either tool died on a missing
command after already downloading a package, instead of reporting the status
that means the comparison could not be made.
