[build] goreleaser cross-platform binaries + release workflow (STAR-53)#24
Merged
Conversation
Add prebuilt-binary distribution so the CLI installs without a Go toolchain (the v0.1.0 cost-price audit's top P1 / biggest adoption barrier — currently `go install` only, needing Go 1.25). - .goreleaser.yaml: builds linux/darwin/windows × amd64/arm64 with CGO disabled (modernc/sqlite is pure Go, so the whole binary is static and cross-compiles), -trimpath + the same version ldflags the Makefile injects (package config), tar.gz archives (zip on Windows), checksums, GitHub release. - .github/workflows/release.yml: on a vX.Y.Z tag, run GoReleaser. The third-party goreleaser-action is pinned to a full commit SHA (supply-chain policy). The tag is still cut by a human after confirmation; the workflow only turns a tag into archives + a Release, and never fires on a PR. - .gitignore: dist/. Verified locally: `goreleaser check` passes; `release --snapshot --clean` builds all six platform archives + checksums, and the native binary's --version banner is populated from the injected ldflags. Homebrew tap deferred (add a brews: block when wanted).
