Contract-Neutral: Routine release-preparation cut for v6.3.0-rc.3. deployment-installability.md IS staged with the substantive active-prerelease and mobile-decision updates for this cut. The residual demand is a verification artifact, and the registry-listed proof scripts/installtests/build_release_assets_test.go plus install_docker_sh_test.go already cover this change and pass against it; they validate the packet dynamically from the repo-root VERSION rather than pinning a literal, so they have no diff to stage. Both were run green immediately before this commit and caught two real errors in the mobile-decision clauses, which are fixed here.
Production SignPath signing requests require manual approval in the
SignPath UI, so the previous single-job flow (submit with
wait-for-completion inside a 40-minute window) let approval latency fail
the Windows build, and any re-run rebuilt the binaries and submitted a
second request needing a second approval.
The Windows lane is now two jobs: sign-windows-agent builds the unsigned
executables, submits the SignPath request without waiting, and uploads a
7-day signing-request record; collect-windows-signing absorbs approval
latency by polling the recorded request, downloads the signed artifact
by request id, and keeps the existing verification and evidence steps.
If approval outlasts the 115-minute polling window, the collection job
fails with re-run guidance and "Re-run failed jobs" collects the same
recorded request - no rebuild, no resubmission. The legacy PFX
break-glass backend rides the same two-job shape via an artifact
hand-off. Workflow output wiring, artifact names, and evidence content
are unchanged for downstream consumers.
The shape test now pins the async invariants (no wait-for-completion:
true in the candidate workflow), and the code signing policy plus the
deployment-installability contract describe the two-phase flow.
Two failures landed this morning:
- test_gitleaks_ignore.py's historical-fingerprint resolution (added in
d1fa7f38c) needs branch- and tag-reachable history, but the
scripts-and-build job used a depth-1 checkout, so all 37 fingerprints
failed to resolve in CI. Fetch full history like the gitleaks and
changes jobs already do.
- d1f687c0e routed frontend-modern/package.json and package-lock.json to
the new frontend-dependency-security path policy without updating the
manifest expectations pinned in test-hot-dev-bg.sh. Pin the effective
first-match policy per manifest instead of bare membership so the
routing stays asserted and shadowed entries cannot fake coverage.
Contract-Neutral: CI-only fix: full-history checkout for gitleaks fingerprint resolution test and re-pin hot-dev manifest policy expectations to the registry routing d1f687c0e already established; no contract delta
