geode-distribution

name	geode-distribution
description	Publish and verify a released GEODE version across GitHub Release and PyPI/uv. Use for uv/uvx distribution, stable promotions, release repair runs, and public installation-channel audits.

GEODE Distribution

Scope: promote an already-landed, version-stamped origin/main commit to all stable end-user channels. The release workflow owns the tag, package upload, and post-publish checks. Do not create a release tag by hand during the normal path.

Channel contract

Channel	End-user command	Immutable source
PyPI / uv	uv tool install geode-agent	wheel + sdist for the promoted version
uv one-shot	uvx --from geode-agent geode	the same PyPI version
GitHub	release vX.Y.Z	annotated tag on the promoted main SHA

Source-edge installs are deliberately separate from stable distribution:

uv tool install git+https://github.com/mangowhoiscloud/geode
uvx --from git+https://github.com/mangowhoiscloud/geode geode

The operator development install is also separate:

uv tool install -e ".[audit]" --force --python 3.12

Installed-tool updates

Use GEODE's provenance-aware updater for an existing install:

geode update          # uv tool: latest compatible patch; source: pull + rebuild
geode update --latest # uv tool only: explicitly allow minor/major upgrades
geode update --dry-run

For a standard registry-backed uv tool, the default command replaces its stored install request with geode-agent~=CURRENT_VERSION and asks uv to upgrade. The compatible-release bound permits only newer patches in the current major/minor series. --latest deliberately replaces that bound with geode-agent@latest. For an editable install, the command resolves the source root from PEP 610 metadata, verifies that it is the GEODE git checkout, and keeps the existing pull/sync/reinstall path.

Reinstalling a uv tool can discard extras, --with dependencies, explicit Python requests, constraints, and resolver settings. Detect these custom receipts and stop with actionable manual guidance instead of silently replacing their metadata. The error must name the receipt path and recorded source; registry-backed guidance includes a concrete patch-bound starting command, while source-backed recovery retains the original editable, directory, URL, or VCS reference and every recorded option instead of redirecting the install to PyPI. Run the standard registry update from a fresh temporary directory with --no-config --no-sources; together these prevent an unrelated caller's pyproject.toml, uv.toml, or tool.uv.sources from redirecting the package. Preserve the receipt's tool root and entrypoint directory through UV_TOOL_DIR and UV_TOOL_BIN_DIR, including when they are non-default. Accept only a receipt with a valid geode entrypoint, and use its absolute executable for verification and daemon restart instead of assuming the directory is on PATH. Accept a source update only when PEP 610 says editable=true and any uv receipt is a plain editable request for that same checkout. Never infer a source checkout from the caller's current Git directory when installation metadata is absent.

When a daemon is already running, resolve its installation and prospective version, then stop it before replacing any package file. Stop must satisfy the socket-closed postcondition; a stop failure must leave the installation untouched. Install and verify the update only after that boundary. If install or verification fails, leave the daemon stopped. On success, start the receipt-derived executable and require both CLI output and the IPC greeting to report the installed version.

Do not add a hidden startup-time network check or background self-update. The automatic part is installation detection, constraint selection, daemon restart, and verification inside the explicit geode update operation.

Stable promotion

1. Preflight

git fetch origin
git status --short --branch
git show origin/main:pyproject.toml | rg '^version'
git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md | rg '^## \[X.Y.Z\]'

Confirm:

• the requested version is stamped on the current origin/main commit (or, for a repair run, on the existing annotated release tag target that remains an ancestor of origin/main);
• CI for that commit is green;
• the protected release environment is ready;
• the PyPI Trusted Publisher is bound to this repository, workflow, and release environment.

2. Dispatch one promotion

gh workflow run release.yml \
  --ref main \
  -f ref=main \
  -f version=X.Y.Z \
  -f publish_stable=true \
  -f publish_huggingface_artifacts=false

The workflow serializes stable promotions and performs:

1. full release validation, package-content gates, clean-wheel smoke, notes, and checksums;
2. an existing-PyPI conflict preflight before any channel is mutated;
3. an annotated tag and GitHub Release with wheel, sdist, and SHA256SUMS;
4. PyPI Trusted Publishing followed by an exact-version public uvx smoke;
5. a read-only cross-channel verifier for the annotated tag, release assets, exact PyPI files, and SHA-256 parity.

PyPI's simple index and exact-version JSON endpoint can converge at different times. Keep the bounded uvx retry as the installability gate, then let verify_public_distribution.py retry the complete JSON/tag/assets/checksum snapshot. Do not insert a one-shot JSON/digest check between those two gates; it duplicates the final verifier and can fail after a successful upload solely because one CDN surface still returns 404.

3. Watch to completion

gh run list --workflow release.yml --limit 5
gh run watch <run-id>

Do not report success while a downstream channel job is queued, awaiting environment approval, or skipped.

Public postconditions

Run these after the workflow is green:

gh release view vX.Y.Z
uvx --no-cache --from "geode-agent==X.Y.Z" geode version
python scripts/verify_public_distribution.py \
  --version X.Y.Z \
  --repository mangowhoiscloud/geode \
  --source-sha RELEASE_TAG_TARGET_SHA

The GitHub release, public PyPI JSON, and both CLI smokes must all resolve X.Y.Z. Release artifacts must use the immutable URL shape:

https://github.com/mangowhoiscloud/geode/releases/download/vX.Y.Z/geode_agent-X.Y.Z.tar.gz

Tag auto-tarballs under archive/refs/tags or a VCS-main install described as a stable release are failures.

Recovery

The workflow is retry-safe for the same version:

• an existing annotated tag must resolve to the same validated SHA;
• an existing GitHub release may be repaired from a matching partial asset set; every existing asset must byte-match before any missing asset is uploaded;
• an existing PyPI version may be repaired from a matching partial file set; every existing filename and SHA-256 must match before the publisher skips it and uploads only missing files, followed by the exact-version smoke;

If main advanced after a partial promotion created the annotated tag, keep the workflow revision on current main and set only the release input to the tag (for example --ref main and -f ref=vX.Y.Z). This uses the latest repair tooling while the workflow verifies that the immutable tag target is unchanged and still belongs to main.

If a channel fails, fix the cause and rerun the same workflow/version. Never delete or overwrite a GitHub/PyPI release, move a published tag, loosen the exact version checks, or substitute an unverified install channel merely to make the run green.
