📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow now builds macOS arm64 and x64 application bundles, signs and notarizes DMGs, uploads platform artifacts, and creates a GitHub release from the collected files. macOS bundle metadata, entitlements, and a reusable build script were added.

Release pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
macOS bundle definition and build script
macos/MacAppTemplate/Contents/Info.plist, macos/certs/WheelWizardEntitlements.entitlements, macos/release-macos.sh, .gitignore
The macOS bundle metadata and entitlements were added. The build script selects an architecture, publishes the binary, validates it, and creates the .app bundle. The root /release/ output is ignored.
Platform build and notarization jobs
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow builds Linux, Windows, and macOS artifacts. The macOS jobs sign and notarize arm64 and x64 DMGs before upload.
Artifact collection and GitHub release
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow downloads platform artifacts, assembles final-artifacts/, and creates the GitHub release with generated notes. A Homebrew tap update job is included as commented-out workflow code.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6af7d

This PR automates macOS releases alongside the existing platform builds, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains based on the available review evidence.

Poem

A rabbit packed the app with care
Two bright Mac bundles filled the air
Signed and notarized, neat and bright
Linux and Windows joined the flight
The release page opened wide
With every treasured build inside

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Around line 341-342: Update the macOS DMG copy commands in the release
workflow to fail when either required artifact is missing by removing the
suppressed errors or explicitly validating both expected assets before gh
release create. Preserve the existing artifact names and destinations.
- Around line 18-23: Update the release workflow’s actions, including
actions/checkout, actions/setup-dotnet, artifact transfer, and DMG creation, to
use reviewed immutable 40-character commit SHAs instead of mutable version tags,
while retaining each original version tag in an inline comment.
- Around line 100-103: Update the Setup .NET steps in both macOS jobs to use
dotnet-version "10.0.x" instead of "8.0.x", so the macOS release workflow
matches the SDK required by global.json before invoking macos/release-macos.sh.
- Around line 350-356: Update the release creation shell block to remove eval:
read the tag from GITHUB_REF_NAME, build assets in a quoted shell array, and
pass the tag and array elements directly to gh release create so metacharacters
in the tag cannot be reinterpreted as shell syntax.

In `@macos/MacAppTemplate/Contents/Info.plist`:
- Around line 9-10: Update the macOS packaging flow to derive both
CFBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString from the release tag or the
WheelWizard project version instead of hardcoding CFBundleVersion as 2.0,
ensuring packaged releases report the declared version such as 2.5.1.

In `@macos/release-macos.sh`:
- Around line 61-69: Update the dotnet publish invocation in the macOS release
script to use the Release-macOS configuration instead of Release, while
preserving the existing -r "$RID" runtime selection and other publish options.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Derive the bundle version from the release version.

CFBundleVersion is fixed at 2.0, but WheelWizard/WheelWizard.csproj declares 2.5.1. macOS releases will report the wrong version.

Set both CFBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString during packaging from the tag or project version.

can you look into the coderabbit comments?

- Pin all GitHub Actions to immutable commit SHAs
- Use .NET 10 SDK in macOS jobs to match global.json
- Fail release when required macOS DMG is missing
- Remove eval from release creation (command injection risk)
- Derive CFBundleVersion/CFBundleShortVersionString from release tag
- Build with Release-macOS configuration to define MACOS constant
