An inherited HERMES_HOME can defeat a test bundle's data-directory suffix.
Older Windows installers also persisted that variable in the user registry.
This gives the app fresh UI state while its backend reads existing sessions.
Add --bundle-unset NAME, encoded as null in the existing bundle environment
object. Apply each clear as an explicit empty value before module startup.
Do not restore an explicitly empty HERMES_HOME from the Windows registry.
Ordinary defaults still preserve runtime overrides.
Verified the release parser, builder handoff, compiled startup ordering,
registry opt-out, and child environment with focused regression tests.
A native Windows probe passed with an inherited home. No MSIX was rebuilt.
The builds table only ever existed inside a GitHub release body. Emit the
same rows as a tiny standalone page in R2, so a build is readable straight
from the download origin:
releases/<channel>/index.html latest stable / canary builds, every
variant, replaced by each tag run
releases/commit/<sha>/index.html every expected binary of one commit
build, built or not
scripts/render-builds-table.py keeps ONE row set per mode and renders it
into two sinks (release body markdown, page HTML), so the page can never
list different artifacts than the release. A channel page is a mutable
pointer written from a per-tag job, so it records its release tag and the
writer compares that against scripts/releases/semver.py before replacing:
re-running an older tag cannot regress a newer channel page.
Pages need two registrations to be usable: `.html` maps to
text/html; charset=utf-8 in release-content-types.json (unregistered, R2
serves the object as an octet-stream download) and to no-store in
r2.cache_control_for (the page is a pointer, not an artifact). Page keys
and public URLs come from new r2 layout helpers, shared with
`release.py --build-commit`, which now prints the commit page URL before
dispatching. No workflow change: the existing renderer jobs already carry
the R2 credentials.
Verified: 76 tests over the renderer/release/transport files, including a
loopback R2 PUT proving the page object lands as text/html with no-store.
Resolve pushed revisions before dispatching the default-branch workflow.
Reject release-mode flags and untrusted admission contexts. A dry run
never dispatches or creates a tag. Preserve Git's effective push URL
when choosing the GitHub repository.
Commit-build stamps check the actual checkout, including an explicit
Python --commit argument. The workflow SHA cannot replace build identity.
Direct Git argv also avoids the Windows command-shell PATH limit.
Real temporary Git CLI and stamp tests pass: 60 Python tests and 22 JS
tests, with no failures. GitHub authorization and dispatch are intercepted
at their process boundary. Workflow guards and native assembly remain
separate work. No live dispatch, signature, or package acceptance claimed.
