feat(packaging): make Chocolatey and WinGet live install channels by looptroop-ai · Pull Request #173 · looptroop-ai/LoopTroop

looptroop-ai · 2026-09-21T08:25:23Z

Both Windows package feeds have accepted a first submission, so the two channels stop being documented as unavailable and start being published to like any other.

Chocolatey approved looptroop on 3 September 2026.
WinGet merged LoopTroopAI.LoopTroop on 19 September 2026, and its publish pipeline confirmed the index refresh. Verified rather than assumed: the community index every client downloads (cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source2.msix) carries the package.

0.5.9 was pushed to both from channel-republish.yml before this branch was written, so each feed has the current release in its queue.

What changed

The release publishes to both. publish-chocolatey and publish-winget no longer sit behind vars.PUBLISH_CHOCOLATEY / vars.PUBLISH_WINGET. Neither variable was ever set, which is why seven releases published nothing to either feed without failing — an unset variable skips a job silently. PUBLISH_AUR stays, because the AUR's obstacle is not a queue but the absence of an account. Neither job gates a release; each reports itself as submitted.

The published smoke installs both from their real feeds. The two stub entries in smoke-published.mjs become real recipes that install on a Windows runner, drive the daemon, assert the channel and upgrade command doctor reports, and uninstall again — the same shape Scoop has. Chocolatey installs the bundle and depends on nodejs-lts, so it is not provesOwnRuntime; WinGet installs the standalone executable, so it is.

Both legs are weekly, with a new moderated field. A release-tier leg would run minutes after the tag, when the feed is still serving the previous version because nobody has reviewed this one yet, which is a red that means nothing. moderated reports a version still in its queue as a deliberate skip — the bargain pnpm's 24-hour hold already makes — and bounds it at 14 days, because from outside "still in review" and "rejected, and nobody noticed" look identical.

The WinGet probe asks winget show, not the GitHub contents API. A merged manifest is not an installable package: the index is built by a pipeline that runs after the merge, and between the two a contents-API probe reports a package winget install cannot find.

WINGET_IDENTIFIER is imported rather than written out again. winget-pkgs derives its manifest directory from that string, so the submission, the documented command and what doctor prints have to agree.

Impact elsewhere

The install catalog the website verifies against reports both channels as live, with their documented commands, doctor channels and upgrade commands. The published installation page is updated in the website repository and is already live.
The release report already wired both publish jobs into its table and its failure issue, so a failure in either now opens that issue instead of being skipped.
Release-day runtime does not grow: the release-tier leg list is unchanged.
installChannel.ts needed nothing. It already detected both channels and printed the right upgrade commands.

Checks

npm run typecheck, npm run verify:version, eslint on the changed files, and the packaging, workflow-policy and smoke suites all pass locally. The website repository's verify:site and tests pass against this branch's catalog.

Not covered

The AUR stays a stub. Both feeds currently serve older versions (0.5.1 and 0.5.2) until the 0.5.9 submissions clear moderation, which the documentation states plainly rather than hides.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Chocolatey and WinGet are now live Windows installation channels with upgrade support and weekly availability checks.
- Install with choco install looptroop or winget install LoopTroopAI.LoopTroop.
Changed
- Stable releases now publish to both channels automatically.
- Marketplace review delays are reflected in release verification, with queued submissions skipped during the grace period.
Bug Fixes
- WinGet submissions now avoid duplicate updates and synchronize more reliably.
- Missing WinGet publishing credentials now correctly fail releases instead of being skipped.

Found while doing it, and fixed here

Dispatching channel-republish.yml for 0.5.9 before writing the branch turned up two defects that would each have broken the first unattended publish:

The WinGet push was rejected. A branch built on upstream/master introduces every file upstream has added since the fork was last synced, and GitHub refuses a push that introduces a workflow file without the workflow scope. The fork was 18,821 commits behind, and upstream had added domain-validation-assist.lock.yml. The script now syncs the fork server-side before cloning; the fork was also synced by hand, after which the submission went through as microsoft/winget-pkgs#438396.
Both WinGet jobs moved to Linux. The shallow clone of a 689,147-file repository took 16 minutes of the job's 30-minute budget on a Windows runner, and 1m24s on Linux, measured rather than assumed. publish-scoop has always run on Linux for the same reason: writing a Windows package manager's descriptor needs no Windows.

Two more came from checking my own work against the live feeds, and from the review round:

Chocolatey approval, not presence. The first probe took a 200 from the feed's entity endpoint as published. Pushing 0.5.9 made that endpoint answer 200 within a minute carrying PackageStatus: Submitted, while choco install went on resolving the approved version. The probe now reads the moderation status, pinned by a test against both payloads the live feed returned.
An unreadable wait no longer excuses a stale feed. releaseAgeHours returns null for every GitHub API failure, and the skip counted that as inside the grace period, so repeated failures could have kept a rejected submission green. Two smaller ones alongside it: the skip reason claimed the feed served nothing while Chocolatey was serving an earlier release, and a failing winget show was read as "not indexed yet" whatever the cause.

Review round: what was found, fixed, and declined

Five review passes (Antigravity, Grok, opencode, Muse Spark, Codex) and the PR bots (Qodo, Greptile, CodeRabbit, Gitar, Amazon Q) agreed on one theme: the moderation skip asserted things it had never asked. Fixed:

The grace period ran on the release clock. v0.5.9 was released on 26 August and pushed to both feeds today, so a submission hours old read as 26 days overdue — the first weekly run would have failed a channel that was at the front of the queue. Both feeds expose the submission date (Chocolatey's d:Created, WinGet's pull request created_at) and both are now read, with the release clock as fallback.
A rejection, and a version nobody submitted, read as "still queued". The probes returned null for all three, so a failed publish or a refusal could stay green for the full grace period. The queue is now asked and answers queued, rejected, absent or served.
A known-absent version polled for ten minutes and then failed with no reason. abort writes to stderr and leaves failures empty, and the report renders that array — Greptile's finding. The verdict is recorded through fail instead, naming the queue state, the wait and what the feed serves.
Chocolatey was queried through custom OData, which Chocolatey's API documentation reserves the right to refuse. Presence is now asked through choco search, the supported interface, and the entity endpoint is kept only for what the CLI cannot answer.
The Chocolatey leg skipped dependency resolution, so nothing checked the documented promise that this channel installs Node, git and gh for you.
Re-running a WinGet submission for an already-merged version failed on the empty commit, though the script is documented as retry-safe.
A missing WINGET_TOKEN warned and skipped a channel that is now documented as live.
A release with no Windows binary would have made the weekly WinGet leg fail every week forever.
Smaller: --id … --exact on WinGet queries, --source/--force on the fork sync, a workflow-scope remedy printed on the push refusal, --version validated before it becomes a path, the declared signature of published, a dead allowFailure, the duplicate ### Fixed heading, and the README's WinGet block reading as a three-step install.

Two findings in my own new code, found by re-reading rather than by a reviewer: recipe.latest() became synchronous when it moved to choco search, so the .catch on it would have thrown; and a submission that reports served while the feed does not yet list it (an approval minutes old) now falls through to the propagation poll instead of failing instantly.

Declined, with reasons: naming WinGet's indexed version in the skip line (its show output is localised — the line already names the queue); per-platform nulls in the catalog's upgradeCommands (cosmetic, and it would change a shape Scoop and Homebrew already use); resolving upstream's default branch name at runtime (master is assumed in four other places in the same script, and a rename fails loudly rather than silently); and keeping WinGet's --skip-dependencies, where Chocolatey's was dropped — its dependencies are Git for Windows and the GitHub CLI, full third-party installers the runner already has, and the reason is stated where the flag is passed.

Known and stated rather than fixed: published-smoke.yml runs the driver from the release tag, so these two legs first run for real after a release whose tag carries them. That is the workflow's deliberate pin — an older release should not be tested by newer driver code — and it means the weekly coverage described here begins with the next release.

Not in this PR, and it needs a person: WINGET_TOKEN should carry the workflow scope. GitHub refuses both a push and an API merge that introduces a workflow file without it, so the fork sync added here cannot repair that case on its own; the push now says exactly this when it happens.

The two red checks are both infrastructure: the external review action's engine exits 1 (all 4 file review(s) failed — check your LLM configuration and API key, confirmed by Gitar's CI analysis across three runs), and Kilo reports Review failed: The model output limit was reached. Neither names a finding.

Second review round

Four findings, three of them raised by several reviewers at once, all fixed:

A failed choco search read as "this version is not on the feed." Chocolatey's own source settles it: ChocolateySearchCommand exits 0 for a search that found nothing and sets 2 only under useEnhancedExitCodes, which is off by default. So every real failure — unreachable source, proxy, TLS, broken client — wore the "not published" answer, and inside the grace period the leg reported a fortnight of "waiting on moderation" for an outage. Only 0 and 2 are answers now; anything else throws, as the npm probe has always done.
A merged WinGet manifest kept the clock from created_at. The first submission here was open for five weeks, so a run between its merge and the index refresh would have computed 36 days of waiting and failed a submission hours into the only queue still ahead of it. A merge restarts the clock.
Correcting an open submission could not push at all. Reproduced against a real shallow clone before fixing: --depth 1 tracks only the default branch, so git fetch origin <branch> creates no remote-tracking ref — the no-op diff could not resolve it, and --force-with-lease had nothing to lease and was rejected as stale info. Fetching into the tracking ref fixes the diff; the push additionally needs an explicit lease, because a branch checked out with -B has no upstream configuration. Both verified in the sandbox.
The WinGet leg now resolves its dependencies, as the Chocolatey leg already did. winget validate checks that the manifest declares Git.Git and GitHub.cli; nothing checked those identifiers still resolve in the index.

Plus a preflight: a classic WINGET_TOKEN without the workflow scope is now named on every release instead of being discovered the day upstream adds a workflow file. It warns rather than failing — the scope is only needed when the fork is behind on such a file, and failing a release that would have published fine is the worse error, while the push already fails fatally with the same remedy on the day it matters. That is a considered departure from the review, which asked for fail-fast.

Each new rule is pinned by a test and each test was mutation-checked one mutation at a time.

The two red checks remain infrastructure only: the external review action's engine exits 1 across five jobs (Gitar's CI analysis confirms), and Kilo reports Review failed: The model output limit was reached. SonarCloud, Codacy and CodeQL are green.

Third review round

The bots are clean on this head — Gitar reports no issues, Codacy 0 issues, SonarCloud's gate passed. Two findings came from the review comments, both fixed:

channel-republish.yml treated a failed choco search as "not published" (Codex, critical). The same defect the published smoke was fixed for last round, in the one place that had not been looked at: the search ran as a pipeline inside an if condition, where set -e does not fire, so an unreachable source or a TLS error printed nothing, fell into the else, and sent the job on to repack and resubmit a version that may already be on the feed. The exit status is now read separately — 0 and 2 are answers, everything else stops the job — and the output is matched against the package id, since --exact has matched by prefix. Verified by running the step against a stubbed choco across six cases; the two failure cases are exactly the ones that previously recorded published=false.
The lease test answered every git rev-parse (CodeRabbit), so it would have passed even if the script leased upstream/master — a value the remote branch never had, which git rejects as stale, which is the failure the test exists to prevent. The stub now answers only for origin/<branch> and the test asserts which ref was asked for; leasing the wrong ref fails it.

Both feeds have now accepted a first submission — Chocolatey approved `looptroop` on 3 September and `microsoft/winget-pkgs` merged `LoopTroopAI.LoopTroop` on 19 September, with its publish pipeline confirming the index refresh — so the two channels stop being documented as unavailable and start being published to like any other. What changed, and why each part: * `release.yml` no longer gates `publish-chocolatey` and `publish-winget` behind `vars.PUBLISH_CHOCOLATEY` / `vars.PUBLISH_WINGET`. Those variables were never set, which is why seven releases published nothing to either feed without failing: an unset variable skips a job silently. The remaining variable, `PUBLISH_AUR`, still gates the AUR, where the obstacle is not a queue but the absence of an account to publish from. Neither new job gates a release; each reports itself as submitted, which is all a queue somebody else works can promise. * `smoke-published.mjs` replaces the two stub entries with real recipes. They install from the live feed on a Windows runner, drive the daemon, assert the channel and upgrade command `doctor` reports, and uninstall again, the same shape Scoop has. Chocolatey installs the bundle and depends on `nodejs-lts`, so it is not `provesOwnRuntime`; WinGet installs the standalone executable, so it is. * Both legs are weekly rather than release-tier, and both carry a new `moderated` field. A release-tier leg would run minutes after the tag, when the feed is still serving the previous version because nobody has reviewed this one yet — a red that means nothing. `moderated` reports a version still in its queue as a deliberate skip, the same bargain pnpm's 24-hour hold makes, and bounds it: past 14 days the leg runs and fails, because from outside, "still in review" and "rejected, and nobody noticed" look identical. * The WinGet probe asks `winget show` rather than the GitHub contents API. A merged manifest is not an installable package — the index is built by a pipeline that runs after the merge — so only the client's own answer matches what a user's `winget install` will do. Chocolatey is probed through the OData entity for the exact version, which is absent until a moderator approves it, which is exactly the distinction the skip needs. * `WINGET_IDENTIFIER` is imported from `package-manifests.ts` rather than written out again. `winget-pkgs` derives its manifest directory from that string, so the submission, the documented command and what `doctor` prints all have to agree, and a second copy is the one that drifts. Impact elsewhere: the install catalog the website verifies against now reports both channels as live and installed, with their documented commands, doctor channels and upgrade commands, so the published installation page can show them as available. The release report already wired both publish jobs into its table and its failure issue, so a failure in either now opens that issue instead of being skipped. Not covered: the AUR stays a stub, and the release-tier leg list is unchanged, so release-day runtime does not grow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Reviewer's Guide

This PR makes Chocolatey and WinGet live release channels by publishing to them unconditionally, documenting their real install paths, and adding weekly Windows smoke tests that account for moderation and indexing delays. The smoke implementation validates Chocolatey through its package feed and WinGet through the client-facing winget show command, while retaining AUR as the only paused channel.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Chocolatey and WinGet become live, moderated Windows installation channels. Release workflows publish both channels without repository-variable guards. WinGet jobs run on Linux, and submission handling synchronizes the fork and avoids redundant pushes.

Changes

Live Windows channels

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Channel contracts and catalog metadata `scripts/package-manifests.ts`, `scripts/docs-install-catalog.mjs`, `tests/fixtures/install-catalog.json`, `tests/docsInstallCatalog.test.ts`	Adds shared WinGet repository metadata and moderation fields. The catalog records live Chocolatey and WinGet entries with queue and grace-period metadata.
Published smoke probes and moderation `scripts/smoke-published.mjs`, `scripts/smoke-published.d.mts`, `tests/smokePublished.test.ts`	Adds Chocolatey and WinGet package and submission probes. Moderated legs skip queued submissions within the grace period and fail when versions are not served.
Release and republish workflows `.github/workflows/release.yml`, `.github/workflows/channel-republish.yml`	Publishes Chocolatey and WinGet on eligible stable releases, runs WinGet jobs on Linux, and fails when `WINGET_TOKEN` is missing.
WinGet submission flow `scripts/winget-submit.ts`, `tests/wingetSubmit.test.ts`	Validates versions, synchronizes the fork, adds failure hints, fetches open branches for lease checks, and avoids empty submissions when manifests already match upstream.
Installation documentation and release notes `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`	Documents both installation channels and records moderation, dependency, and submission changes.

Enable live Chocolatey and WinGet release channels

✨ Enhancement 🧪 Tests 📝 Documentation ⚙️ Configuration changes 🕐 40+ Minutes

AI Description

• Publish stable releases to Chocolatey and WinGet without dormant repository-variable gates.
• Verify moderated feeds weekly with a bounded 14-day review grace period.
• Document and test both Windows package managers as live install channels.

High-Level Assessment

The current approach is appropriate: stable releases submit automatically while weekly verification accommodates external moderation without hiding stalled submissions indefinitely. Release-tier smoke checks and GitHub-manifest probing were reasonably dismissed because they would respectively fail during normal review delays and report WinGet availability before its client index is refreshed.

`run` returns `code: null` when the child never started — a resolver refusal, a launch failure — and the probe treated every non-zero code as "the feed does not serve this version". A winget that could not be started would then have reported a package sitting in a review queue, which is a wrong answer rather than a missing one, and the `moderated` skip would have kept it quiet for two weeks. It now throws, which the caller already handles as "could not ask": it logs the reason and falls through to the propagation poll, which fails with the publish hint instead.

Description

main treats a null result from releaseAgeHours() as though the release were still within the
moderation grace period and writes a successful skip result. If the GitHub release lookup fails or
has no parseable timestamp while Chocolatey or WinGet remains stale, every weekly run can keep
bypassing the 14-day deadline and the reporter raises no failure.

releaseAgeHours returns null for every lookup exception or unparseable timestamp, while the new
condition explicitly classifies null as within grace and calls writeSkipResult. That result
records ok: true, and the workflow reporter only adds a leg to its failure list when ok is
false, so repeated age-resolution failures prevent the promised 14-day escalation.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The moderated-channel check treats an unknown release age as inside the grace period, so persistent GitHub API or timestamp failures can hide a stalled submission indefinitely.

## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/smoke-published.mjs[1924-1933]
- scripts/smoke-published.mjs[1790-1798]

## Recommended Fix
Only produce the moderation skip when the release age is known and below the configured grace period. If the age is unknown, log that the deadline could not be evaluated and continue into the normal published-channel checks so the run can fail and alert rather than silently extending the grace period.

The first version of this probe asked the feed's entity endpoint whether a version existed and took 200 for an answer. It is not one. Pushing 0.5.9 to the community feed made `Packages(Id='looptroop',Version='0.5.9')` answer 200 within a minute, carrying `PackageStatus: Submitted`, while `choco install looptroop` went on resolving 0.5.1 — the approved version — because the feed serves approvals and the moderation queue had not moved. Left as it was, the smoke would have called a queued version published, skipped the `moderated` hold that exists for exactly this state, and failed on an install of something the feed does not serve, blaming the release. `chocolateyApprovedVersion` now reads the moderation status and treats `Approved` and `Exempted` as served. It is exported and pure so a test can pin it against the two payloads the live feed actually returned, one approved and one queued; both were captured from the feed rather than imagined, since the shape is the whole point. Removing the status guard fails that test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; no actionable new defect remains and the previous findings are resolved.

Summary

This PR promotes Chocolatey and WinGet from unavailable placeholders to live Windows installation channels and extends release and published-smoke automation accordingly.

Stable releases now submit packages to both feeds without unset repository-variable gates.
Weekly real-feed smoke tests account for moderation queues, install the packages, verify runtime behavior and channel reporting, and uninstall them.
WinGet submission logic centralizes identifiers and supports retry-safe fork synchronization and branch correction.
The latest follow-up correctly distinguishes Chocolatey query failures from an absent version in both published-smoke and republish paths.
All four previous Greptile findings are resolved and the current code addresses their reported failure modes.

The 0.5.9 resubmission failed on a push GitHub refused: ! [remote rejected] looptroop-0.5.9 -> looptroop-0.5.9 (refusing to allow a Personal Access Token to create or update workflow `.github/workflows/domain-validation-assist.lock.yml` without `workflow` scope) Nothing about the submission was wrong. The branch is built on `upstream/master`, so every file upstream has added since the fork was last synced counts as a file this push introduces — and GitHub refuses a push that introduces a workflow file unless the credential carries the `workflow` scope. `looptroop-ai/winget-pkgs` was last pushed the day the first manifest was submitted, leaving it 18,821 commits behind, and upstream added that workflow in the meantime. It would have failed the same way on the next release, silently turning the first unattended WinGet publish red, so the fix is in the script rather than in an operator's memory: `gh repo sync` before the clone, server-side, which costs one request rather than a second clone of a repository this size. The fork's copies then already exist and the push introduces only the manifests. A failed sync is logged and not fatal. Most failures here do not stop the push, and when the sync is what was needed, the push message above says so. The other answer, if a sync can never work with this credential, is to give `WINGET_TOKEN` the `workflow` scope. The fork was synced by hand to unblock 0.5.9, and a test pins the ordering: a sync after the clone, or none at all, leaves the rejection in place.

`verify:version` scans tracked files for the current and previous version, and three comments written while diagnosing the Chocolatey approval rule and the WinGet fork rejection quoted the release they were diagnosed on. Each would have failed the check on this release and gone quiet on the next, which is the worse half of the failure. The facts they carry — an entity endpoint answering 200 for a submitted version, a push rejected for introducing a workflow file — do not need the number to be true.

Both WinGet jobs were on `windows-latest`, which nothing about them needs: they render YAML, push a branch and open a pull request. The Scoop jobs, for the other Windows package manager, have always run on Linux for that reason. It is not a small difference here. The submission clones `winget-pkgs`, 689,147 files; on the Windows runner the shallow clone took 16 minutes of the job's 30-minute budget, leaving ten minutes of headroom for a repository that grows every day. The same clone takes 1m24s on Linux, measured rather than assumed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Three reviewers found the same hole, and they are right. `releaseAgeHours` returns null for every GitHub API failure — a rate limit, a network error, an unparseable timestamp — and the moderated skip counted that as inside the grace period. A submission that was rejected months ago would stay green for as long as the lookup kept failing, which is the silent success this driver exists to prevent. A skip claims the queue explains the absence. An unknown age cannot support that claim, so it now falls through and the leg runs, failing on the version the feed actually serves. The decision moves into `moderationSkipReason`, exported and pure, because the case that matters is the one nobody reaches by hand. Its test covers all four: inside the window with and without a known served version, past it, and unknown. Two more from the same round: * The skip reason said "the feed serves (nothing)" even while Chocolatey was serving an earlier release. A presence probe answers only about the version it was asked about, so the served version now comes from the channel's own latest probe, and is left unclaimed where there is none. * A failing `winget show` was read as "this version is not indexed yet" whatever the failure was, so a broken runner or an unreachable source could wear the moderation skip's clothes for the whole grace period. It now asks a second question — does winget know the package at all, with no version named — and throws when the answer is no. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Antigravity — Code Review

Findings & Recommendations

scripts/smoke-published.d.mts: Parameter signature mismatch on published
- In scripts/smoke-published.d.mts, LiveChannel.published is declared as:
```
published?: (version: string) => unknown
```
- In scripts/smoke-published.mjs, all calls pass two arguments: recipe.published(recipe, version) (lines 1221 and 1969). Every probe implementation—including probeChocoVersion(_recipe, version) and probeWingetVersion(_recipe, version)—expects (recipe, version).
- Recommendation: Update LiveChannel in scripts/smoke-published.d.mts:
```
published?: (recipe: ChannelRecipe, version: string) => unknown
```
scripts/winget-submit.ts: gh repo sync divergence and explicit flags
- In scripts/winget-submit.ts line 224:
```
run('gh', ['repo', 'sync', FORK, '--branch', 'master'], { quiet: true })
```
- If looptroop-ai/winget-pkgs:master ever diverges from upstream/master, gh repo sync fails without fast-forward unless --force is provided. With { quiet: true }, this failure is suppressed and only logged as a non-fatal warning ("could not sync... continuing"). The subsequent git push origin branch will then fail with the workflow scope rejection if upstream has introduced any workflow files.
- Supplying --source ${UPSTREAM} also avoids implicit parent inference via the GitHub API.
- Code comment correction: Line 598 states that "a fork already up to date is the common one" for sync failure. gh repo sync exits 0 when already up to date; failures stem from divergence, permission/scope issues, or rate limits.
- Recommendation: Pass --source and --force:
```
run('gh', ['repo', 'sync', FORK, '--source', UPSTREAM, '--branch', 'master', '--force'], { quiet: true })
```
AGENTS.md: Outdated guidance regarding skipped release channels
- Under ## Releases in AGENTS.md:
  
  Chocolatey, WinGet and the AUR are expected to show as skipped until each is published.
- This PR enables automated release publishing for both Chocolatey and WinGet. Only PUBLISH_AUR remains disabled.
- Recommendation: Update AGENTS.md to state that only the AUR is expected to show as skipped.
scripts/smoke-published.mjs: XML attribute tolerance in Chocolatey feed parsing
- In chocolateyApprovedVersion and probeChocoLatest:
```
const status = /<d:PackageStatus>([^<]*)</.exec(payload)?.[1]?.trim() ?? ''
...
return /<d:Version>([^<]*)</.exec(payload)?.[1]?.trim() || null
```
- If upstream OData responses or proxies emit attributes on elements (e.g., <d:PackageStatus m:type="Edm.String"> or <d:Version xml:space="preserve">), exact-tag regexes fail to match.
- Recommendation: Allow optional tag attributes:
```
const status = /<d:PackageStatus\b[^>]*>([^<]*)</.exec(payload)?.[1]?.trim() ?? ''
const version = /<d:Version\b[^>]*>([^<]*)</.exec(payload)?.[1]?.trim() || null
```
scripts/smoke-published.mjs: WinGet moderation skip reason lacks served version context
- For Chocolatey, main() queries recipe.latest() so moderationSkipReason outputs:
  9.9.9 is waiting on Chocolatey community moderation; the feed serves 0.5.1
- WinGet defines no latest probe, so serves is always null and the skip reason prints:
  9.9.9 is waiting on the microsoft/winget-pkgs review queue
- Because probeWingetVersion already executes winget show ${WINGET_IDENTIFIER} (which outputs the currently indexed version), WinGet could report what is actually indexed during the grace period instead of omitting it.
scripts/smoke-published.mjs: 10-minute polling delay in awaitPublished after grace period expiration
- When a release exceeds the 14-day grace period, moderationSkipReason returns null ("Running it anyway").
- The runner then immediately executes awaitPublished(recipe, version), which polls recipe.published every 15 seconds for up to 10 minutes (propagationCapMs: 10 * 60_000).
- Since a 14+ day old release was already confirmed absent from the feed by the preceding moderation probe, polling for 10 minutes on scheduled weekly CI runs needlessly consumes runner minutes before aborting.
- Recommendation: Short-circuit or reduce the poll deadline when running past the moderation grace period.
scripts/smoke-published.mjs: Misleading still serves (nothing) abort diagnostic
- In awaitPublished line 1232:
```
abort(`${recipe.key} still serves ${seen ?? '(nothing)'} after ${minutes} minutes, expected ${version}.`)
```
- Because seen = await recipe.published(recipe, version) only returns version (which exits early) or null, seen is guaranteed to be null when the loop times out.
- As a result, the abort message always reports still serves (nothing), even when the channel feed actively serves an earlier release.
- Recommendation: Query recipe.latest?.() when aborting to display the actual version currently served by the feed.
tests/fixtures/install-catalog.json: Non-Windows platforms emitted for Windows-only upgrade commands
- scripts/docs-install-catalog.mjs generates upgradeCommands for linux, darwin, and win32. Because recipes return static strings ignoring the platform argument, the catalog records choco upgrade looptroop and winget upgrade LoopTroopAI.LoopTroop as upgrade commands on Linux and macOS.
- While consistent with existing entries like Scoop, letting upgradeCommand(platform) return null for unsupported operating systems would yield cleaner metadata for downstream docs consumers.

Grok

1. Critical — `gh repo sync` will fail the same way the push did, and the job continues anyway

scripts/winget-submit.ts (the new block before the clone) treats a failed gh repo sync looptroop-ai/winget-pkgs --branch master as non-fatal and continues to git push.

That is the same failure class that rejected the 0.5.9 submission. gh repo sync on a remote fork calls POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/merge-upstream. GitHub CLI maps that API’s “refusing to allow … without workflow scope” onto its own error: upstream commits contain workflow changes, which require the workflow scope to merge (cli/pkg/cmd/repo/sync/http.go missingWorkflowScopeErr). WINGET_TOKEN already failed that check on git push; GitHub CLI applies the same check to merge-upstream. The hand sync that unblocked 0.5.9 used a credential that can merge workflow files, which this job does not.

So the next time microsoft/winget-pkgs adds a workflow file:

gh repo sync fails (quiet path, run(..., { quiet: true }) === null).
The log says the sync was optional and the job continues.
git push --force-with-lease is rejected for introducing that workflow file.

publish-winget now runs on every stable release (the vars.PUBLISH_WINGET gate is gone), so this is the unattended path.

The test only pins ordering on a successful sync (tests/wingetSubmit.test.ts); the mock returns '' for every non-pr list gh call, so the failure path is untested.

Do this: give WINGET_TOKEN the workflow scope (required for both merge-upstream and a push that carries new workflow files). Fail the job when sync returns null, and print the CLI’s workflow-scope error. gh repo sync … --force is the right extra flag for a submission-only fork whose master should match upstream; a diverged fork master is the other way sync fails without --force.

Docs: Syncing a fork, GitHub CLI repo sync (cli/pkg/cmd/repo/sync/http.go missingWorkflowScopeErr).

2. Important — the new weekly legs cannot run until the next tag

published-smoke.yml always plans and runs from refs/tags/v$VERSION (plan job detaches to the tag; smoke jobs check out ref: refs/tags/v${{ needs.plan.outputs.version }}). After this merges, the Monday weekly still resolves the current stable tag (today v0.5.9), whose driver still has Chocolatey/WinGet as stubs, so these two legs are never scheduled.

workflow_dispatch from this branch does the same tag checkout, so there is no live dry-run of probeChocoVersion, probeWingetVersion, wingetLinks(), or the --scope machine / --ignore-dependencies recipes against the real feeds before they ship.

CHANGELOG says the weekly smoke now installs both from their real feeds. That becomes true only after a release whose tag contains this driver. The first such weekly will then usually moderationSkipReason for up to 14 days, so a wrong Links path or a winget show that cannot see the source can stay hidden for weeks after the tag.

Do this: either cut the next release knowing these legs are inert until then, or add a dispatch input that keeps the workflow’s ref for the driver while still testing --version (scheduled runs can keep the tag pin). A one-off workflow_dispatch with only=chocolatey,winget against already-approved 0.5.1 / indexed 0.5.2 is the cheapest proof of the Windows recipes.

3. Important — Chocolatey presence is probed with an unsupported OData query

probeChocoVersion / probeChocoLatest hit community.chocolatey.org/api/v2 with $filter and regex over Atom XML. Chocolatey’s own API docs (updated 2026-09-16) say the supported query tools are Chocolatey CLI and chocolatey.lib; custom OData queries are unsupported and may start returning 406. The entity endpoint already 406s when Accept includes application/json / text/json.

This runner is windows-latest, where choco is preinstalled. channel-republish.yml already asks the supported question:

choco search looptroop --exact --version "${VERSION}" --limit-output --source https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/

That command reports only approved/exempted packages, which is the rule chocolateyApprovedVersion reimplements. I fetched today’s live payloads: 0.5.1 is PackageStatus: Approved (parser returns 0.5.1), 0.5.9 is Submitted (parser returns null), and IsLatestVersion is still 0.5.1. The parser works today; the query class is still the one Chocolatey says they will break.

Do this: use choco search for both “is this version served” and “what is latest”, same as the republish job. If the HTTP probe stays, send Accept: application/atom+xml only, and pin the test to a trimmed live <entry> (including m:type / m:null neighbours) rather than a hand-built fragment.

https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/community-repository/api/

4. Important — `provesOwnRuntime` is opposite on the two new channels and the existing guard does not cover them

Chocolatey depends on nodejs-lts (provesOwnRuntime unset). WinGet ships the standalone exe (provesOwnRuntime: true). tests/smokePublished.test.ts still only asserts Homebrew / Scoop / npm for that flag.

Copying the WinGet recipe onto Chocolatey would strip Node from PATH on a bundle that needs it. Dropping the flag on WinGet would skip the one assertion that channel exists for.

Do this: extend that test:

chocolatey — provesOwnRuntime unset, same as Scoop
winget — provesOwnRuntime === true, same as Homebrew / binary-*

5. Important — the install catalog still cannot describe a moderated channel

scripts/docs-install-catalog.mjs gained live Chocolatey/WinGet rows (kind, command, doctor channel, weekly Windows leg) and no moderated / graceDays / queue name. The website installation page already has a hand-written “arrives days later” section; verify:site only requires installer-sh and npm from the catalog, so that note is free to drift.

moderated is the user-visible contract this PR adds (README, CHANGELOG, skip logic). The catalog is the interface the website is supposed to lock to.

Do this: emit moderated: { queue, graceDays } | null on each channel (schema bump if the website already treats unknown fields as fatal). Point the website check at that field for the Chocolatey/WinGet delay paragraph.

Live checks used in this review: Chocolatey Packages(Id='looptroop',Version='0.5.1'|0.5.9) via Node fetch (200 Atom; approval parser matches), Packages()?$filter=Id eq 'looptroop' and IsLatestVersion (200, latest 0.5.1), GitHub CLI merge-upstream workflow-scope handling, published-smoke.yml tag checkout, website docs/installation.md already marking both channels live.

looptroop-ai · 2026-09-21T09:37:07Z

opencode review

Confirmed against branch head 57ec1a7d, the live Chocolatey feed and the winget-pkgs API (both queried today).

1. The grace period runs on the release clock, not the submission clock

moderationSkipReason takes ageHours from releaseAgeHours(version), which is the GitHub release's published_at. A channel repaired after its release starts outside the 14-day window on the day it is submitted. That repair is what channel-republish.yml exists for, and it is what was done for 0.5.9, so for a release whose driver carries these recipes the first weekly run would report a failure while the submission is still at the front of the queue.

v0.5.9 was released 2026-08-26 and pushed to Chocolatey on 2026-09-21: the feed entity carries <d:Created>2026-09-21T08:15:27, Published is still 1900-01-01, and PackageStatus is Submitted. The current rule reads that as 26 days of waiting for a submission that is hours old. WinGet has the same fact available: PR microsoft/winget-pkgs#438396 was created 2026-09-21T09:06Z.

Suggestion: measure from when the submission started. Chocolatey's d:Created is in the payload probeChocoVersion already downloads, and WinGet's is the submission PR's createdAt (mergedAt once merged), one gh pr list --state all --head looptroop-ai:looptroop-<version> away. Where neither can be read, the current "unknown age is never a skip" rule still applies.

2. A rejected or never-submitted version reads the same as a queued one

chocolateyApprovedVersion reads PackageStatus and discards it, returning null for 404 (absent or removed), Submitted (queued) and Rejected (final) alike. probeChocoVersion extracts the status a second time just to log it. Inside the grace window all three render as "waiting on Chocolatey community moderation", so a rejection or a submission that never landed can stay green for up to 14 days.

WinGet already separates "the package is unknown" (throws) from "the package is known, this version is absent" (returns null), but a closed submission PR still reads as a queue.

Suggestion: carry the status out of the Chocolatey probe and check the submission PR state for WinGet, so Rejected, a removed entry and a version with no submission at all fail immediately, while a live submission keeps the grace. That would also let the bound be looser without hiding a stall.

3. `publish-winget` still skips a live channel silently when the token is missing

release.yml keeps the early exit that writes state=skipped and a warning when WINGET_TOKEN is empty, with a comment explaining that the channel should be able to land before the credential exists. It has landed. The report's failure issue fires only on failure|cancelled, so a missing or expired token is a warning and a table row rather than an issue, and the weekly smoke would only notice after the grace period. channel-republish.yml already treats the same missing token as fatal, so the two paths disagree.

The secret exists today (created 2026-08-13), so this is about the next expiry or removal. Suggestion: fail the job, or make the report open the issue when this job's state is skipped.

4. Resubmitting an already-merged version fails instead of no-op

winget-submit.ts computes alreadyPublished (the version directory exists on upstream/master) and uses it only for the PR title. Once a version's pull request has merged, gh pr list --state open returns nothing, so the no-op paths are skipped, the rendered manifests match upstream/master, git add stages nothing, and git commit fails with "nothing to commit". If the rendered bytes did differ, the commit would succeed and gh pr create would then fail with no commits between the branches. The submit path is documented as re-runnable, and 0.5.2 is already in this state: its manifests are on upstream/master and the fork branch looptroop-0.5.2 still exists.

Suggestion: before committing, when alreadyPublished and git diff --quiet upstream/master -- <manifest dir> is clean, report that the version is already published and exit 0. Keep the commit path when the content differs, since that is the correction case.

5. Weekly coverage starts with the next stable tag, not with this merge

published-smoke.yml checks out the release tag before it plans the matrix and runs the driver from that tag. The latest stable release, v0.5.9, predates these recipes, so its tag's driver still lists chocolatey and winget as stubs and schedules neither (git show v0.5.9:scripts/smoke-published.mjs still has both stub: entries). The new legs first run when a tag containing this branch becomes the latest stable release. The tag pin is deliberate (an older release should not be tested by newer driver code), so this may be the intended trade-off, but it means the description's "installs both from their real feeds on its weekly run" holds from the next release onward.

6. AGENTS.md still lists both channels as expected skips

Line 81 says "Chocolatey, WinGet and the AUR are expected to show as skipped until each is published." Only the AUR qualifies now. That file is what every agent reads before cutting a release, so the line is the same kind of stale expectation the unset PUBLISH_* variables were.

7. `CHANGELOG.md` has two `### Fixed` headings under Unreleased

The new one at line 109 sits before ### Changed; the existing one at line 240 sits after ### Removed. Fold the new entries into the existing section.

8. The README WinGet snippet reads as a three-step install

It shows winget install, then looptroop stop, then winget upgrade without marking the last two as the upgrade path, while every other channel comments its upgrade line. The published Installation page separates them ("looptroop stop, then winget upgrade"). A comment or reorder would keep a first-time reader from stopping a daemon they just installed.

Muse Spark review — suggestions only. Everything below was verified against the branch (tests, typecheck and eslint on the touched files all pass; no files changed for this review).

scripts/smoke-published.mjs winget recipe + probeWingetVersion (~L392-410, L1124-1144): install, both show probes, uninstall and the upgrade command pass the identifier positionally with no --id/--exact. Microsoft documents --id <id> -e (+ --source) as the way to pin a query to one package; a future same-prefix package turns these into an ambiguity failure under --disable-interactivity. Suggest --id ${WINGET_IDENTIFIER} --exact in the driver (and the same flags on show/uninstall — verify show accepts them), coordinating the upgradeCommand string with server/lib/installChannel.ts and the README if the documented form changes too.
probeChocoLatest (~L1099-1104): trusts IsLatestVersion to mean "served" with no PackageStatus read — the same presence≠service assumption probeChocoVersion was just fixed for, one layer up. If the feed ever returns a submitted-but-unapproved entry as latest, the skip reason misreports "the feed serves X" and the latest-pointer check can pass while nothing is installable. Suggest status-gating the latest entry (or documenting the listed-only assumption), and not taking the first <d:Version> in a possibly multi-entry payload.
A moderation skip can mask a publish that never happened. The release dispatch unschedules legs whose publish failed, but only for homebrew/scoop (release.yml L2289-2296); the weekly schedule runs choco/winget unconditionally, so a failed publish-chocolatey/publish-winget becomes "not run (waiting on )" for 14 days, with the release-report issue as the only tracker. Suggest hedging the skip wording (it asserts a queue state it cannot see) or wiring publish state into the weekly legs/docs.
channel-republish.yml verify-repair comment (L542-545) is stale after this PR: it says immediate dispatch "would report a healthy repair as a failure", but with moderated that dispatch (-f tier=weekly -f only=<channel>) now reports "not run (waiting…)", not FAIL. Suggest extending needs/dispatch to the chocolatey/winget jobs or rewording the exclusion to state the accepted gap.
scripts/smoke-published.d.mts: DelegatedChannel inherits optional moderated from LiveChannel, but only the installed-channel flow supports it. Suggest moderated?: undefined on DelegatedChannel, matching what StubChannel just got.
scripts/winget-submit.ts: (a) the alreadyPublished check (L258) passes both allowFailure: true and quiet: true — quiet wins in run(), so allowFailure is dead; drop it. (b) version is used to build the path and mkdirSync (L240-241) before renderWingetManifests validates it; move an explicit version validation above the filesystem use (defense in depth; today the source is trusted, so low risk).
Moderated pre-check comment (~L1971-1973): "fall through to awaitPublished, which polls" is inaccurate — awaitPublished does not catch, so a throwing probe fails fast as unexpected error rather than polling. Fix the comment or wrap the poll.
Test gaps: probeWingetVersion's three branches (unstartable child, package-unknown, version-absent) have no unit coverage — consider extracting the decision pure like chocolateyApprovedVersion. Related: the published chocolatey upgradeCommand literal has no contract pin; doctorSmokeContract.test.ts covers the local smoke-choco.ts/smoke-winget.ts only, so drift between the published recipes and installChannel.ts surfaces only on a live Windows leg.
--ignore-dependencies (choco) / --skip-dependencies (winget): these legs never exercise the documented bare commands' dependency path (the scoop leg installs deps for real). The code comments acknowledge golden-file coverage; suggest one README line stating deps aren't installed by the smoke, or a periodic full-deps run, since "installs the way the docs tell users to" currently overstates it.
gh repo sync … --branch master hardcodes upstream's default branch. A rename makes the sync a logged no-op and the old workflow-scope push rejection returns. Suggest resolving the default branch (gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef) or noting the assumption next to the command.

[P1] scripts/smoke-published.mjs:338-398 — Both new “documented install” legs bypass dependency resolution (--ignore-dependencies and --skip-dependencies). A broken nodejs-lts/git/gh declaration can therefore pass because hosted runners already have those tools. Remove these flags for at least one weekly leg, or add a clean dependency-resolution check that exercises the package/manifest; otherwise this smoke does not protect the documented fresh install. Chocolatey install docs · WinGet install docs
[P1] scripts/winget-submit.ts:223-226 — Any gh repo sync failure is converted to null and treated as non-fatal. gh repo sync normally fast-forwards the fork; a permission or divergence failure leaves the fork in exactly the stale state this change is meant to repair, and the later push can still be rejected. Fail the job on sync failure, or explicitly force and validate the fork update, instead of continuing. gh repo sync manual
[P1] scripts/smoke-published.mjs:370-381 and .github/workflows/release.yml:2139-2147 — skip_binaries=true legitimately skips WinGet publication, but the weekly plan still always schedules the WinGet leg for the latest stable release. After the 14-day grace, smoke will poll for a version that can never exist and fail every week. Propagate the per-release skipped state or binary absence to the smoke plan so binary-less releases skip this channel.
[P2] scripts/smoke-published.mjs:1085-1103 — Both Chocolatey probes use raw OData, and probeChocoLatest adds a custom $filter query. Chocolatey documents querying as supported through Chocolatey CLI/chocolatey.lib, not arbitrary custom queries; the latest probe also does not apply the Approved/Exempted rule used by probeChocoVersion. Use a supported query path or derive latest from the same approved-status data, so a pending submission cannot be reported as served and an API change does not break the smoke. Chocolatey API docs
[P2] scripts/smoke-published.mjs:1842-1846,1965-1992 — The moderation grace starts at GitHub release publication, not at channel submission. If release publishing fails and channel-republish submits the package later, an otherwise fresh 14-day queue item can be treated as overdue immediately and fail instead of being skipped. Track or pass the channel submission time, or base the grace on the latest publish attempt.

…ch feed the supported way Five review passes converged on the same shape of defect: the moderation skip asserted things it had not asked about. It is now asked. **The clock starts at the submission.** `releaseAgeHours` measures from the GitHub release, which is the wrong date whenever a channel is repaired after the fact — the whole purpose of `channel-republish.yml`. The 0.5.9 submissions demonstrate it: the release is from 26 August and both were pushed today, so the old rule read a submission hours old as 26 days overdue and would have failed the first weekly run while it sat at the front of the queue. Chocolatey carries `d:Created` in the payload the probe already fetches, and WinGet has the submission pull request's `created_at`; both are read, and the release clock remains the fallback. **A queue that has answered is not a wait.** The probes returned null for a queued version, a rejected one and a version nobody ever submitted alike, so a rejection or a failed publish could stay green for the whole grace period. `submission` now reports `queued`, `rejected`, `absent` or `served`, and only the first two states excuse the feed. A submission that could not be asked about counts as a wait — it is evidence of nothing — and the age still bounds it. **A known-absent version fails here, with its reason.** It used to fall through to `awaitPublished`, which polls a feed that has nothing for ten minutes and then calls `abort`. `abort` writes to stderr and leaves `failures` empty, and the report renders that array — so the leg reached the reader as a FAIL with no explanation, after ten wasted minutes. The verdict is recorded through `fail` instead, naming the queue state, the wait and what the feed does serve. **A release with no Windows binary is not a failure.** `publish-winget` skips one, correctly; the weekly leg would have gone on asking for a version that can never be indexed, once a week, forever. The feeds are also asked differently: * Chocolatey through `choco search`, the interface Chocolatey documents as supported, rather than through custom OData queries their API documentation reserves the right to refuse. The entity endpoint is kept for the two things the CLI cannot answer — when a submission was made, and whether it was rejected — where an outage costs a fallback to the release clock rather than a wrong verdict. It also removes the second place that had to know the approval rule: `choco search` lists only what moderation has let through. * The Chocolatey leg resolves the package's dependencies instead of passing `--ignore-dependencies`. The documentation promises this channel installs Node, git and `gh` for you, and nothing else runs that promise: a wrong dependency id passes every golden-file test and fails the first user. WinGet keeps `--skip-dependencies`, and the reason is stated where it is passed — its dependencies are Git for Windows and the GitHub CLI, full third-party installers the runner already has, where Chocolatey's are packages it resolves in seconds. * WinGet is queried with `--id … --exact`. A bare query matches several fields by prefix, so one same-prefix package would turn every probe into an ambiguity failure that reads here as "not indexed yet". Also: `recipe.latest()` is guarded with try/catch rather than `.catch`, because Chocolatey's is now synchronous and a synchronous throw never reaches a promise handler; the declared signature of `published` takes the recipe it has always been called with; `DelegatedChannel` refuses the moderation fields it cannot honour; the fork branch a submission lives on is defined once in `package-manifests.ts`, since the submitter pushes it and this driver asks upstream what became of it; and the `provesOwnRuntime` test now covers both new channels, which sit on opposite sides of it and are the likeliest pair to be copied from one another. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…cannot publish Four things the review round found in the submitter, all of them about a path nobody takes until the day it matters. **Re-running against a merged version failed.** `alreadyPublished` was computed and then used only to choose a pull request title. Once a version's pull request merges, nothing is open, so the reconcile path is skipped, the rendered manifests match `upstream/master`, `git add` stages nothing and `git commit` stops on the empty commit. This script is documented as retry-safe and 0.5.2 is already in exactly that state. It now reports the version as published and exits 0, keeping the commit path for the case where the bytes differ, which is the correction this reconcile exists for. **A missing `WINGET_TOKEN` warned and skipped.** That bargain was struck so the channel could land before the credential existed. It has landed, and a documented channel that quietly publishes nothing is the failure the unset `PUBLISH_*` variables already demonstrated — `publish-winget` now fails, as `channel-republish.yml` always has for the same absence. **The sync could not fix what it was added for, silently.** `gh repo sync` merges upstream through the API, and the CLI maps that API's refusal onto the same missing scope it rejects a push for: a credential that cannot push workflow files cannot merge them either. The sync stays non-fatal, because failing early would turn a sync outage into a failed release that would otherwise have succeeded — but it now warns, passes `--source` and `--force` (this fork carries no work of its own, and a diverged `master` is the other way a stale fork survives), and the push that follows explains itself: on a refusal naming a workflow file, the failure says to sync the fork and to give `WINGET_TOKEN` the `workflow` scope. **`--version` is checked before it becomes a path.** It reaches `mkdirSync` and a branch name several steps before `renderWingetManifests` inspects it, and a directory is the wrong place to discover that an argument was not a version. Also drops an `allowFailure` that `quiet` already superseded, and takes the upstream, fork and branch names from `package-manifests.ts` so the published smoke can ask about the same branch this pushes. The test mock now distinguishes "the trees differ" from "everything succeeds": with every command succeeding, every test was silently taking the already-published no-op. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…eck it The installation page tells readers that Chocolatey and WinGet install the previous release for a few days after each release. That is a claim about how this repository publishes, and until now it lived only in prose on the other side of a repository boundary — the same arrangement that left both channels marked unavailable for weeks after they went live. The install catalog the website verifies against now carries each channel's queue and grace period, so the note can be checked against the code that decides it rather than against a list kept by hand. The website half of that check ships in the website repository. Also in this commit: * The README's WinGet block read as a three-step install. It now marks the stop and the upgrade as the upgrade path, which is what every other channel's block does and what the published page already said. * `channel-republish.yml` explained that it excludes Chocolatey and WinGet from the repair verification because an immediate dispatch would "report a healthy repair as a failure". That stopped being true in this branch: those channels are moderated, so a version still in its queue comes back as a deliberate skip. The exclusion stands — the dispatch would spend a Windows runner to print what the push step already said — and the comment now gives that reason instead of the stale one. * The changelog keeps one `### Fixed` section under Unreleased rather than the two this branch had left it with.

opencode review

Two things worth fixing before merge; both are in the new probe logic, verified against branch head 77640a23.

1. A `choco search` error is read as "the feed does not serve this version"

probeChocoVersion and probeChocoLatest (scripts/smoke-published.mjs ~L1141 and ~L1154) pass any non-launch result to chocolateySearchVersion, with the comment that "a non-zero exit with no matches ... is how Chocolatey reports 'nothing found'". That is not what Chocolatey does. choco search exits 0 for success including no results; -1/1 means an error, and the "2: no results" code only exists when the useEnhancedExitCodes feature is on, which is off by default. The source is explicit (ChocolateySearchCommand.cs):

if (configuration.Features.UseEnhancedExitCodes && packageResults.Count == 0 && Environment.ExitCode == 0)
{
    Environment.ExitCode = 2;
}

So an unreachable or misconfigured source, a TLS or proxy failure, or any other choco error currently becomes "the feed has no such version".

That matters because the moderated flow reads it as feed state. If the OData submission probe also fails, state is unknown and the leg reports "not run (waiting on Chocolatey community moderation)" until the 14 days expire. That is the masking the last commits set out to remove: a broken runner or source should fail or poll, not wait two weeks under a queue's name.

Suggestion: treat only exit 0 (and exit 2 when the enhanced feature is on, if you want to accept that) as an answer. Any other non-zero exit should throw, which the caller already handles as "could not ask".

2. A merged WinGet submission keeps the clock from `created_at`

wingetSubmission (scripts/smoke-published.mjs ~L1226) returns state: 'queued' for a merged pull request but sets at from created_at, and its detail says "the index refresh follows". The grace therefore runs from submission rather than from merge, so a review that took longer than 14 days fails the first weekly run after the merge, before the index pipeline has had any time.

microsoft/winget-pkgs#417273 is the live example: opened 2026-08-14, merged 2026-09-19. A run in the window between that merge and the index refresh computes 36 days of waiting and fails a submission that is healthy.

Suggestion: use merged_at for the merged branch (the open branch keeps created_at). A merged version that is still not indexed 14 days after the merge still fails, which is the stall the bound is for.

looptroop-ai · 2026-09-21T10:55:45Z

Muse Spark review — critical only. One regression from the rework, verified against the branch (tests, typecheck, eslint and workflow-policy/packaging suites all pass).

probeChocoVersion / probeChocoLatest (scripts/smoke-published.mjs, ~L1140-1160) no longer distinguish "the feed answered" from "the feed could not be asked": any choco exit except unstartable-child is parsed as output, and empty output means "not served". The previous HTTP probe threw on non-404 errors; the same file's probeNpmRegistry (~L1005-1011) still does, with the stated principle that a registry outage "must surface as an error rather than be polled until the cap expires and reported as a missing release". The new Chocolatey probes violate that principle in both directions: within the grace window a feed/runner-network outage (or a broken choco) becomes "not run (waiting on Chocolatey community moderation)" via the unknown-state skip, and past it the 10-minute awaitPublished poll aborts with "still serves (nothing)" — both blame the queue/release for what is a probe failure. Suggest splitting Chocolatey's not-found exit from real failures (verify choco search's exit-code contract for no-match vs error; throw on the latter like the npm probe does) so outages fail loudly instead of being waited on or misreported.

Codex:

[P1] scripts/smoke-published.mjs:1140-1159,1163-1169,2114-2144 — The Chocolatey probe still treats every non-launch nonzero choco search result as “not published.” Chocolatey documents exit code 2 as “no results” when enhanced codes are enabled, but 1/-1 as command errors. A source/network/auth failure that emits no package line therefore becomes null; the submission lookup can then become unknown, and the current moderation rule writes a green skip while the release is younger than 14 days. Propagate documented search errors as failures and reserve “not found” for the no-results outcome. Chocolatey search exit codes
[P1] scripts/smoke-published.mjs:403-417 — The live WinGet smoke still passes --skip-dependencies while the manifest and installation page promise to install Git and GitHub CLI. A wrong dependency ID or an unresolvable dependency can pass every weekly smoke on a preloaded runner and fail a fresh user install. Remove this flag from at least one live leg, or add a clean dependency-resolution check that protects the documented install. WinGet install docs
[P1] scripts/winget-submit.ts:244-258 — The original workflow-scope failure is still unrecoverable when WINGET_TOKEN lacks that scope: gh repo sync uses the same token, fails on upstream workflow changes, the code only warns, and the subsequent push is built from the stale fork and hits the same rejection. Make the required credential capability an explicit preflight/fail-fast condition, or use a credential/flow that can sync the fork; otherwise the next upstream workflow change can break every unattended WinGet release.

Antigravity

Critical: `scripts/winget-submit.ts` fails with `stale info` on push whenever a PR is open

Issue

Because repo is cloned shallowly (git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/${FORK}.git repo), Git configures the fetch refspec to track only the default branch:
fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

When a PR is already open (open !== null):

Line 305 (git fetch origin ${branch}) writes to FETCH_HEAD only; it does not create refs/remotes/origin/${branch}.
Line 306 (git diff --quiet origin/${branch} -- <manifestDir>) fails with fatal: bad revision 'origin/...' (exit 128). Because { quiet: true } is used, run returns null, causing unchanged to evaluate to false even when manifests on the open PR are identical.
The script commits and runs line 337: git push --force-with-lease origin ${branch}. Because no remote-tracking ref exists for ${branch}, Git expects ${branch} not to exist on origin. Because it already exists, Git rejects the push:
```
! [rejected]        looptroop-<version> -> looptroop-<version> (stale info)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/looptroop-ai/winget-pkgs.git'
```
This causes winget-submit.ts to exit 1 on any update or re-run where a PR already exists.

Recommendation

Configure remote.origin.fetch in repo to include all heads:

run('git', ['config', 'remote.origin.fetch', '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'], { cwd: repo })

This enables git fetch origin ${branch} to create refs/remotes/origin/${branch}, allowing both the diff check and the --force-with-lease push to resolve the tracking ref properly.

…bsence Four reviewers found the same line, and Chocolatey's own source settles it. `ChocolateySearchCommand` exits 0 for a successful search *including one with no results*, and sets 2 only when `useEnhancedExitCodes` is switched on, which it is not by default: if (configuration.Features.UseEnhancedExitCodes && packageResults.Count == 0 && Environment.ExitCode == 0) { Environment.ExitCode = 2 } So the comment this replaces — that a non-zero exit with no matches is how Chocolatey reports "nothing found" — was wrong, and every real failure wore that answer: an unreachable source, a proxy or TLS error, a broken client. Inside the grace period the leg then reported "not run (waiting on Chocolatey community moderation)" for a fortnight, which is precisely the masking the last commits set out to remove. Only 0 and 2 are answers now; anything else throws, as `probeNpmRegistry` has always done with a registry error, and for the reason stated there. The rule is a pure function because it is the part that was wrong. **A merged WinGet manifest restarts the clock.** `wingetSubmission` took `at` from `created_at` even once the pull request had merged, so the index refresh was timed from the day the submission was opened. The first submission here was open for five weeks: a run in the window between that merge and the refresh would have computed 36 days of waiting and failed a submission that was hours into the only queue that was still ahead of it. **The WinGet leg resolves its dependencies**, as the Chocolatey leg already does. `winget validate` checks that the manifest declares `Git.Git` and `GitHub.cli`; nothing checked that those identifiers still resolve in the index, which is the half that breaks when an upstream package is renamed. On a hosted runner both are installed and correlated, so the usual cost is a lookup. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The reconcile path this script is built around — re-push a manifest to a submission that is already open — could not push. Reproduced against a real shallow clone rather than argued from the code: refspec: +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master origin/looptroop-9.9.9 resolves? NO ! [rejected] looptroop-9.9.9 -> looptroop-9.9.9 (stale info) `--depth 1` clones single-branch, so `remote.origin.fetch` covers only the default branch and `git fetch origin <branch>` writes `FETCH_HEAD` and nothing else. Both halves downstream then break quietly: `git diff origin/<branch>` cannot resolve the ref, so the "already carries these manifests" check always reported a change, and `--force-with-lease` had no remote-tracking ref to lease against, so git refused the push. Fetching into the tracking ref fixes the diff. It does not fix the push: the bare lease is still rejected with the ref fetched and its reflog in place, because a branch checked out with `-B` from `upstream/master` carries no upstream configuration for git to follow back. The push now names the value this run actually saw, which is both what a lease is for and what made the same sequence push in the sandbox. A first submission still leases nothing, having no remote branch to lose. **And the credential says what it can do, before the clone.** A classic token lists its scopes in a response header, so a `WINGET_TOKEN` without `workflow` is now named on every release rather than discovered on the day upstream adds a workflow file. It warns rather than fails: the scope is only needed when the fork is behind on one of those files, and failing a release that would have published fine is the worse error — the push already fails fatally, with the same remedy, on the day it matters. A fine-grained token sends no such header and is left alone, since its equivalent is a per-repository permission. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Three entries in Unreleased described behaviour this branch has since corrected: both channel legs now resolve their declared dependencies rather than only Chocolatey's, a merged WinGet manifest restarts the grace clock at the merge, a failed Chocolatey search is reported as a failure rather than read as an absent version, and correcting an open submission pushes.

Codex:

[Critical] .github/workflows/channel-republish.yml:395 — the Chocolatey search failure path is still treated as “not published.” Because the pipeline is the if condition, set -euo pipefail does not abort when choco search fails; it falls into else, then downloads, repacks, and submits the package. A Chocolatey outage, auth failure, or TLS/proxy error can therefore trigger a duplicate/resubmission instead of stopping and exposing the outage. Capture the search exit status separately from the output check, accept only the documented no-result outcome as published=false, and fail the job for all actual command errors: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/choco/commands/search/

The same defect the published smoke was just fixed for, in the one place that had not been looked at. "Is this version on the feed already?" ran the search as a pipeline inside an `if` condition, where `set -e` does not fire — so a search that *failed* printed nothing, fell into the `else`, and recorded `published=false`. An unreachable source, a proxy or a TLS error then sent the job on to download the bundle, repack it, smoke it and push a version that may well be published already, reporting an outage as an absence on the way. The status is now read separately from the output. Chocolatey exits 0 for a search that found nothing and sets 2 only under `useEnhancedExitCodes`, so those two are answers and everything else stops the job with the exit code in the message. The output is matched against the package id rather than for any text at all, because `--exact` has matched by prefix on some Chocolatey versions — the same comparison the published smoke makes of the same command's output. Checked by running the step against a stubbed `choco`: found, nothing found at exit 0, nothing found at exit 2, exit 1, exit 255, and a prefix-only match. The two failures are the cases that previously recorded `published=false` and now stop. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The stub answered every `git rev-parse`, so the open-branch test passed whatever ref the script resolved — including `upstream/master`, whose value the remote branch has never had and which git would reject as a stale lease. That is the failure the test exists to prevent, so it now answers only for `origin/<branch>` and asserts which ref was asked for. Leasing the wrong ref fails it.

Muse Spark review — critical only. One item, reproduced against real git rather than inferred (tests, typecheck, eslint all pass on the branch).

scripts/winget-submit.ts (~L334-380): the explicit push lease is only built when tracked, otherwise the push falls back to bare --force-with-lease — which git rejects as stale info whenever the remote branch exists without a local tracking ref (reproduced on git 2.47.3: new branch pushes fine, existing branch without the ref is rejected, explicit branch:sha pushes fine). tracked === false does not mean "branch absent": the fork branch survives every closed or merged PR (nothing here deletes it), and a transient fetch failure also lands there. So the exact recovery paths this series was built for fail with a cryptic git error — resubmitting after Microsoft closes a PR unmerged (open === null, stale branch on the fork, bare push rejected), force-republishing a wrong descriptor after a merge, and any fetch flake with an open PR (fetch fails → bare push into a certain rejection). That last one is the release/channel-republish flow the failure issue tells operators to run. Suggest fetching the tracking ref whenever a push may happen rather than only when a PR is open, leasing explicitly whenever origin/<branch> resolves (quiet rev-parse), and failing fast with a clear message when it is open but unresolvable — plus a test for the stale-branch case, since the current tests only cover open+fetched and never-existed.

CI failed: Automated code-review action failures due to an LLM configuration or API key issue in the third-party OrcaCode Review step, unrelated to the PR changes.

Overview

1 unique failure pattern found across 7 logs, indicating that the third-party code review action failed because the review engine exited with status 1 due to LLM configuration or API key issues.

Failures

OrcaCode Review Engine Failure (confidence: high)

Type: infrastructure
Affected jobs: 106267141336, 106270816025, 106276999205, 106298737192, 106302842497, 106315431157, 106320493019
Related to change: no
Root cause: The third-party code review action ('Continuum-AI-Corp/orca-code-review') failed during the review step because the underlying review engine exited with a non-zero status due to an issue with LLM configuration, connectivity, or the API key used by the action.
Suggested fix: Verify that the LLM configuration, endpoints, and API keys are correctly configured in the repository secrets for the code review action, or rerun the workflow if it was a transient API failure.

Summary

Change-related failures: 0 failures
Infrastructure/flaky failures: 7 job failures related to the automated code-review action failing on LLM configuration or API keys
Recommended action: Check repository secrets for the code-review action or rerun the CI jobs.

🔴 High risk · Automated release publishing and installer behavior now affect two public channels.

Promotes Chocolatey and WinGet to live Windows installation channels with automated release publishing and weekly feed verification. Both channels now publish reliably with proper handling of moderation queues, feed failures, and stale repository states. The moderation skip reason now correctly reports what each feed serves instead of always claiming absence.

✅ 1 closed

✅ Quality: Moderated skip reason always reports "serves (nothing)"

📄 scripts/smoke-published.mjs:1917 📄 scripts/smoke-published.mjs:1930
In the moderated block, serving is the return of recipe.published(recipe, version), and both probes (probeChocoVersion, probeWingetVersion) only ever return the requested version or null — never the older version the feed actually serves. So on a skip the reason string the feed serves ${serving ?? '(nothing)'} always renders as "the feed serves (nothing)", even when the feed is live and serving an earlier release (e.g. Chocolatey serving 0.5.1). The skip logic itself is correct; only the operator-facing message is misleading. For Chocolatey a latest probe exists and could give the true served version; WinGet has none, so a generic fallback is appropriate.

Findings & Recommendations

Uh oh!

looptroop-ai commented Sep 21, 2026 • edited Loading Uh oh! There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.

Uh oh!

1. Critical — gh repo sync will fail the same way the push did, and the job continues anyway

2. Important — the new weekly legs cannot run until the next tag

3. Important — Chocolatey presence is probed with an unsupported OData query

4. Important — provesOwnRuntime is opposite on the two new channels and the existing guard does not cover them

5. Important — the install catalog still cannot describe a moderated channel

3. `publish-winget` still skips a live channel silently when the token is missing

7. `CHANGELOG.md` has two `### Fixed` headings under Unreleased

1. A `choco search` error is read as "the feed does not serve this version"

2. A merged WinGet submission keeps the clock from `created_at`
