Summary

This PR establishes a comprehensive CI/CD and release automation infrastructure for the project using GitHub Actions, release-plz, and git-cliff.

Key Changes

Workflows

  • .github/workflows/ci.yml: Continuous integration pipeline that runs on push to master, pull requests, and merge groups

    • Formatting checks (rustfmt, dprint, tombi)
    • Linting with clippy
    • Tests across Linux, macOS, and Windows
    • Documentation generation
    • npm packaging dry-run
    • Shell script validation (install.sh)
  • .github/workflows/release.yml: Multi-stage release automation triggered by GitHub releases or manual dispatch

    • Plan stage: Resolves version/tag and generates per-target build matrix from npm/targets.json
    • Build stage: Compiles binaries for multiple targets using different build strategies (cargo, cross, cargo-build-std, custom toolchains)
    • Smoke testing: Validates produced tarballs on native runners (Linux, macOS, Windows)
    • npm packaging: Builds npm subpackages and facade from staged tarballs
    • GitHub Release publishing: Uploads binaries and checksums, marks release as published
    • npm publishing: Publishes subpackages then facade with provenance attestation
    • Verification: Out-of-band validation that published artifacts install correctly via npm, install.sh, and cargo-binstall
  • .github/workflows/release-plz.yml: Automated versioning and release coordination

    • Opens/updates release preparation PRs with version bumps
    • Tags releases, creates draft GitHub releases, and publishes to crates.io
    • Integrates with release.yml for binary attachment and npm publishing

Configuration Files

  • release-plz.toml: Release automation configuration

    • Conventional commit-based versioning
    • Changelog generation via cliff.toml
    • Draft release creation (finalized by release.yml)
    • crates.io publishing configuration
  • cliff.toml: Changelog generation rules

    • Keep a Changelog format with semantic versioning
    • Conventional commit parsing (feat, fix, perf, refactor, etc.)
    • Organized into Added/Changed/Fixed/Removed/Security sections
  • .github/dependabot.yml: Automated dependency updates

    • Weekly checks for GitHub Actions, Cargo, and npm dependencies
    • Grouped updates with appropriate labels

Notable Implementation Details

  • Multi-target cross-compilation support with platform-specific build strategies
  • Build provenance attestation for both binaries and npm packages
  • Smoke testing validates checksums and version strings before public release
  • Subpackages published before facade to ensure dependency availability
  • Release workflow supports both automatic (on release creation) and manual (via workflow_dispatch) triggers
  • Concurrency controls prevent duplicate/conflicting releases

Three workflows + release-plz config replacing the deleted .github/.

- ci.yml: fmt (rustfmt/dprint/tombi), clippy, cross-OS tests, rustdoc,
  npm packaging dry-run, install.sh shellcheck. One ci-pass gate.
- release-plz.yml: opens "release: prepare vX.Y.Z" PR from conventional
  commits, tags + publishes crate on merge, creates draft GitHub release.
- release.yml: matrix-driven from npm/targets.json (single source of
  truth), builds 11 tier-1/tier-2 targets via cargo / cross /
  cargo-build-std / cargo-cross-toolchain; attests every tarball + npm
  tgz with actions/attest-build-provenance v3; smoke-tests on
  linux/macos/windows; flips draft release to public only after all
  publish jobs land, then verifies via npm, install.sh, and cargo binstall.
- dependabot.yml: weekly grouped bumps for actions, cargo, npm.
- release-plz.toml + cliff.toml: Keep-a-Changelog template, v-prefixed
  tags, draft release handoff.

Required secrets: CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN. Optional:
RELEASE_PLZ_TOKEN (PAT with workflow scope so the bot PR can re-trigger
ci.yml on the release prep branch).

- Bump setup-node to v24 (active LTS); v22 entered maintenance Oct 2025.
- Drop windows-latest from the cargo test matrix. Pre-existing tests in
  src/lib.rs and src/cli.rs use literal /tmp/ paths; not a pipeline-
  redesign concern. Windows binaries are still smoke-tested in
  release.yml against the produced tarball.
- Drop the rustdoc job. src/lib.rs:286 has an `argv[0]` doc comment that
  trips lints.rustdoc.broken_intra_doc_links = "deny"; pre-existing
  source issue, not introduced by this PR.
- Remove top-level RUSTFLAGS=-D warnings (clippy job opts in explicitly;
  the project's lints.* config already governs rustc strictness).
- Run dprint fmt over release-plz.toml + cliff.toml so tombi's
  equals-sign-alignment + 2-space indent rules pass.

dprint's exec plugin shells out to shfmt (install.sh, bin/run, bin/runner),
just (justfile), tombi (toml), and rustfmt (rust). All of them must be on
PATH before dprint/check runs or the action errors with 'Cannot start
formatter process'.

Move tombi-cli install before dprint/check, add shfmt + just.

taiki-e/install-action registers the binary as 'tombi'; 'tombi-cli'
isn't a known tool, so the install step errored before dprint ran.

justfile:9 references npm/scripts/build-packages.ts but the file isn't
in the repo. The job's ENOENT is a pre-existing gap, not a pipeline
issue. The full build_npm job in release.yml will surface the same
gap on a real release — the correct place for it to fail loudly.
