Install and execute produced nightly archives against exact main #1822

Description

@joshuajbouw

Outcome

Nightly artifacts are produced only from exact main, installed from the produced archive, executed as real binaries in a disposable home, bound cryptographically to that main SHA and workflow identity, and promoted without rebuilding different bytes.

Canonical nightly identity is 2026.10.0-nightly.<YYYYMMDD>.g<40-character-main-sha> after the #1811 CalVer/nightly successor is accepted. Nightly artifacts must use the same signed inventory, provenance, and install path as stable.

Parent

Tracking #1817. This is a successor certification lane, not a tag or publication authorization.

Scope and ownership

Repository: astrid-runtime/astrid.

Owned paths, when staffed:

  • .github/workflows/nightly.yml and the signed release.yml nightly path, only as needed to install and execute the produced archive
  • a dedicated archive-install harness
  • promote-without-rebuild evidence on promote-channel.yml / promote-nightly.yml

Do not fold this into the current #1811 unique-file set (discovery.rs fixture, release/nightly.toml, scripts/test_nightly_version.py). Do not invent a signed feature-enumeration schema here.

Dependencies

  • accepted release: prepare Astrid 2026.9.0 #1811 CalVer/nightly successor (next nightly base 2026.10.0, Windows runtime remaining unpublished, Unix inventory 20)
  • signed inventory/provenance already used by stable; do not create a new trust root

Exit gate

  • nightly CI installs the produced archive into a disposable home and runs the actual binaries, not merely build/package
  • nightly identity embeds the exact main SHA and is rejected if ancestry is not origin/main
  • install/launch re-verifies the signed inventory/provenance before exec
  • promotion of a nightly or stable pointer reuses the already-produced, already-tested bytes; a rebuild with different bytes is a fail-closed defect
  • independent exact-head review of workflow and harness

Claim boundary

A tagged nightly, a successful package job, or a channel pointer without archive-install execution does not prove nightlies work. This issue does not authorize enabling nightly publication, tagging, or live-home mutation.

Sequence

Staff after the #1811 CalVer/nightly successor is accepted. Keep nightlies enabled in source metadata; do not publish until later explicit release authority.
