# Release process
Sandwich Hime uses separate root and runtime version lines. Compiler tags are
`vX.Y.Z`; runtime tags are `sando/vX.Y.Z`. Generated headers record both the
compiler version and runtime ABI. The runtime is always published before the
compiler that references it.
Every tag is immutable. A failed publication is corrected with a new version,
never by moving or replacing a tag.
## What the version stages mean
### Beta
A beta is an installable public evaluation release. The current
`v1.0.0-beta.1` scope is learning, classroom projects, prototypes, and
compatibility feedback. It receives best-effort security assessment and fixes
while it is the current prerelease, but it is not recommended or supported as a
production-stable dependency. Syntax, generated output, runtime APIs, CLI
behavior, and diagnostics may change in a later prerelease.
Beta 1 and Beta 2 retain their historical platform evidence. The v1 RC line
raises the maintained release gate to native Linux/amd64 and Apple Silicon
macOS/arm64. WSL, native Windows, Intel macOS, and other targets remain useful
portability input but are not v1 release blockers or maintained promises.
Beta tags are signed, annotated, and immutable. Beta 1 is a source/module
release installed through the Go toolchain; it does not promise downloadable
prebuilt binaries. Signed binary artifacts, checksums, SBOMs, reproducible
archives, and key-recovery rehearsal are mandatory for release candidates and
final v1.
### Release candidate
An RC means the intended v1 source, runtime, CLI, diagnostics, schemas, and
generated contract are frozen except for release-blocking fixes. An RC requires
maintainer-run Linux/amd64 and native macOS/arm64 evidence, complete release
artifacts and provenance, signed tags, clean direct/proxy installs, and every
RC gate in this repository. Findings produce a new RC rather than a moved tag.
### Final v1
Final v1 is the compatibility and support commitment. It requires the complete
repository-owned evidence campaign, resolution or explicit acceptance of every
published assurance gap, and the documented RC observation period. A
deployment, example, classroom project, or case study in another repository is
neither imported nor required as release evidence.
## Beta 1 publication gates (historical)
The first beta used a broader one-time platform campaign. The completed items
below are retained as publication history; they do not define future platform
support.
Before `sando/v1.0.0-beta.1` and `v1.0.0-beta.1` are created:
1. Use a clean reviewed canonical public commit with no private identifiers,
paths, credentials, or history.
2. Run license, root/runtime test, vet, build, race, deterministic-generation,
and candidate-version freshness checks on supported Go 1.25 and Go 1.26
lanes on Windows and Linux.
3. Confirm generated bytes match across those exact-candidate lanes and record
all skips or platform limitations.
4. Run the bounded fuzz and known-vulnerability checks from a clean release
host.
5. Review the changelog, security policy, compatibility policy, support scope,
provisional macOS wording, and vanity-import metadata.
6. Build the candidate compiler at its candidate version and prove its committed
generated fixtures are current under that exact binary.
7. Create signed annotated tags and publish the runtime tag first, then the
compiler tag, from the same reviewed commit.
8. Verify both documented runtime-first installs from fresh `GOPROXY=direct`
and public-proxy caches. Record propagation delays as delays, not test
passes.
Beta 1 was published from public commit
`b7a84054d755e42285e50298e41e47f06a8325a5` (tree
`be9e118e38dfebed19f60403ededdadabe07d2aa`) after its exact-candidate
matrix passed. Future prereleases require their own candidate evidence; this
result cannot be relabeled for another commit.
## Beta 2 compiler publication gates
`v1.0.0-beta.2` is compiler-only. Do not create or move a runtime tag when the
`sando` subtree is byte-identical to `sando/v1.0.0-beta.1`.
Run its technical preflight with the retained runtime made explicit:
```sh
./scripts/release-check.sh \
--version v1.0.0-beta.2 \
--runtime-tag sando/v1.0.0-beta.1
```
In addition to every Beta 1 compiler/security/determinism gate:
1. verify protocol framing, malformed messages, shutdown, request
cancellation, UTF-16 positions, CRLF/NUL handling, bounded fuzz smoke,
overlays, source appearance/deletion, duplicates, cycles, symlink and
nested-module boundaries, completion scope, and component definitions;
2. prove the language-server package does not write, execute project code,
invoke Go, fetch, access the network, or start the development supervisor;
3. run the exact candidate on supported Go lines under executed Linux/amd64;
4. build an exact version-stamped candidate and assert the additive
`features: ["lsp-stdio"]` JSON identity;
5. publish a signed annotated compiler tag only after the reviewed sanitized
public commit is current; and
6. verify direct, public-proxy, and checksum-database installation without
altering `v1.0.0-beta.1` or `sando/v1.0.0-beta.1`.
## RC and final gates
No release candidate or v1.0.0 release occurs until every applicable gate in
this repository is evidenced, including deterministic generation on supported
Linux and Go lanes, temporary-module compilation, fuzz/adversarial suites,
race/vet/vulnerability/license checks on the latest two supported Go lines,
development-supervisor failure tests, and reproducible repository-owned
benchmark and security results.
Release candidates require a clean canonical checkout, reviewed changelog,
compatible vanity-import metadata, reproducible Linux/amd64 and Darwin/arm64
binaries, signed annotated tags, checksums, SBOMs, vulnerability results, and
verification on both maintained native targets. Darwin artifacts additionally
require manual Developer ID signing, notarization, stapling, and Gatekeeper
validation outside runner authority.
Human-reviewed RC evidence stays outside the source tree. After completing the
fixed document set reported by `himesan-release verify-evidence`, the release
operator seals its exact bytes and source identity once:
```sh
go run ./cmd/himesan-release evidence-manifest \
--directory "$HIMESAN_RELEASE_EVIDENCE_DIR" \
--repository gamertan/sandwich-hime \
--version v1.0.0-rc.1 \
--commit "$(git rev-parse HEAD)" \
--tree "$(git rev-parse 'HEAD^{tree}')" \
--reviewed-by "REVIEWER" \
--reviewed-at "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ"
```
The manifest is created without overwrite. Changing any document or candidate
identity requires a fresh review directory and manifest; deleting a manifest
is not an approval shortcut. `release-check.sh --public` verifies the sealed
digests and identities but never substitutes for the human review itself.
Native receipts use an equally strict, extraction-scratch-free layout. Download
runner ZIPs outside this directory, then copy only each checksummed receipt pair
into the exact four lanes:
```text
$HIMESAN_NATIVE_EVIDENCE_DIR/
├── darwin-arm64-go1.26.7/TEND-CI-VERIFICATION.json{,.sha256}
├── darwin-arm64-go1.27.0/TEND-CI-VERIFICATION.json{,.sha256}
├── linux-amd64-go1.26.7/TEND-CI-VERIFICATION.json{,.sha256}
└── linux-amd64-go1.27.0/TEND-CI-VERIFICATION.json{,.sha256}
```
ZIPs, additional files, renamed lanes, development-repository identities, and
receipts for a public commit other than current canonical `main` are rejected.
The strict layout prevents extraction debris or a nearby historical run from
being mistaken for the reviewed native receipt set.
## Public source and artifacts
Gitea is the only canonical public forge. Public source is exported into a
separate, sanitized Gitea repository with fresh reviewed history. A sanitized
GitHub discovery snapshot may copy reviewed public source, but it is not an
issue, contribution, release, or module origin and must never receive private
development refs or an indiscriminate Git mirror. Release binaries and
provenance are built from the reviewed canonical Gitea commit.
The hosting configuration must answer exact package discovery requests, not
only module-root pages. In particular,
`/sandwich-hime/cmd/himesan?go-get=1` returns compiler metadata and the
`/sandwich-hime/sando` subtree returns runtime metadata. After tags and public
metadata exist, run:
```sh
scripts/verify-public-install.sh --version vX.Y.Z
```
That check adds the nested runtime before installing the parent compiler, then
exercises both commands from fresh direct-fetch and public-proxy caches. The
order avoids the Go module-cache ambiguity documented for Beta 1. It is
separate from the pre-tag, read-only `scripts/release-check.sh`.
Release notes report hardware, commit, datasets, commands, `ns/op`,
allocations, response latency, and methodology for any performance claim.
“Fastest” or equivalent language is prohibited without durable, reproducible
evidence.
Production applications compile and deploy their committed `.sando.go` files
with the Apache-2.0 `sando` runtime. They do not need the AGPL compiler or the
local development supervisor. Release checks verify that boundary without
executing or inspecting an unrelated application repository.
