Subject: [PATCH 02/21] chore(lint): bump golangci-lint to v2.1.6 and migrate
 config

v2 introduces a new config schema: 'version: "2"' is required, linters
move under 'linters.default/enable', settings live in 'linters.settings',
and formatters (gofmt, goimports) are split into a 'formatters' section.
gosimple and typecheck are folded into staticcheck and removed.

Subject: [PATCH 03/21] feat(release): introduce goreleaser for release
 pipeline

.goreleaser.yaml replaces the hand-rolled per-platform build/upload
steps. Asset names are preserved exactly (zcli-<platform>, the
zcli-<platform>-npm.tar.gz tarball with builds/<binary> inside used by
@zerops/zcli npm package, and zcli_<tag>_<arch>.deb) so consumers are
unaffected.

Pinned to v2.5.0. Local invocation via 'gomodrun goreleaser'
(installed by tools/install.sh). Makefile targets:
- make goreleaser-check    -> validate config
- make goreleaser-snapshot -> dry-run full release build to ./dist

Subject: [PATCH 04/21] ci: restructure workflows around split jobs and
 goreleaser

main.yml: lint and test now run once each in dedicated jobs instead of
5x duplicated across the build matrix (previous setup referenced an
undefined ${{ matrix.osEnv }}, so all lint/test invocations actually
ran as linux/amd64). Build matrix is preserved as a compile-only check
for each target platform. Adds concurrency cancellation, per-job
timeouts, fail-fast: false, and a goreleaser check job.

release.yml: full pipeline now driven by goreleaser, replacing ~140
lines of upload/packaging steps. Released and prereleased events share
one workflow; npm publish and the Discord notification are gated to
full releases via 'github.event.action == 'released''. Pre-release UPX
compression and .deb packaging now happen for prereleases too, which
is a deliberate simplification.

pre-release.yml: deleted, folded into release.yml.

Subject: [PATCH 05/21] chore(make): self-documenting help and grouped target
 sections

Replace the hand-maintained help message with awk that reads '## desc'
comments from the target lines themselves, so help can't drift from the
real targets. Group targets under '##@ Section' headers, declare every
phony target in .PHONY, and add inline comments for the non-obvious
mechanics (build.sh ldflags, per-GOOS lint pass, gomodrun indirection).

Subject: [PATCH 07/21] ci: stop calling tools/install.sh in workflows

install.sh assumes $GOPATH is set and writes binaries to $GOPATH/bin.
In the runner $GOPATH is empty, so it expands to /bin and the gomodrun
install fails with permission denied. The lint job now installs
golangci-lint via golangci/golangci-lint-action, and the test job
doesn't need the wrapper at all. install.sh stays as the local
developer entrypoint.

Subject: [PATCH 08/21] chore: port tools/install.sh into Makefile, drop
 gomodrun
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The install.sh script assumed $GOPATH was set and used a wrapper binary
(gomodrun) to find tools in ./bin from arbitrary CWDs. CI didn't set
$GOPATH so install.sh expanded GOBIN to /bin and failed with permission
denied.

Replaced both with Makefile rules. Versions are pinned at the top of
the Makefile and a stamp file (./bin/.<tool>-<version>) tracks each
install — bumping a version retargets the dependency, the old stamp
is removed in the recipe, and the tool gets reinstalled. lint and the
goreleaser-* targets depend on the tool stamps, so a first invocation
installs automatically.

gomodrun is gone because Make recipes always run from the repo root,
so plain ./bin/<tool> works without a path-discovery wrapper.

 ## Common commands
 
 - `make test` — runs `go test -v ./cmd/... ./src/...`. Run a single test with `go test -v -run TestName ./src/<pkg>/...`.
-- `make lint` — runs `golangci-lint` for darwin/arm64, linux/amd64, and windows/amd64 in turn via the `gomodrun` wrapper. Config: `.golangci.yaml`.
+- `make lint` — runs the pinned `./bin/golangci-lint` for darwin/arm64, linux/amd64, and windows/amd64. Config: `.golangci.yaml`.
 - `make all` — cross-builds binaries for windows-amd, linux-amd, darwin-amd, darwin-arm. Single-target builds: `make linux-amd` etc. Builds go through `tools/build.sh`, which sets the version via `-ldflags` from `git rev-parse`/`git describe`, uses build tag `devel`, and writes to `bin/`.
+- `make goreleaser-check` / `make goreleaser-snapshot` — validate `.goreleaser.yaml` and dry-run a release build to `./dist`.
+- `make tools` — install pinned dev tooling (`golangci-lint`, `goreleaser`) into `./bin`. Versions are declared at the top of the Makefile; bumping them triggers reinstall via stamp files. `make lint` and the goreleaser targets depend on `tools`, so first invocation auto-installs.
 - `make showcase` — runs `src/uxBlock/showcase/main.go` to preview UI elements.
-- `gomodrun` (`tools/gomodrun.go`) executes binaries from `./bin` relative to the nearest `go.mod`; the lint target relies on it to find a pinned `golangci-lint`.

Subject: [PATCH 09/21] chore(lint): bump golangci-lint to v2.12.0

golangci-lint v2.1.6 is built with Go 1.24 and refuses to lint
projects targeting Go 1.26 ('language version used to build is lower
than targeted'). v2.12.0 is built with Go 1.26.

The master install.sh checksum verification kept failing for v2.12.0
and v2.12.2 (computed vs. expected mismatch), so the Makefile now
fetches the release tarball directly via the github.com/.../releases
URL, mirroring the goreleaser install pattern. Both the Makefile pin
and the CI golangci-lint-action version are bumped in lockstep.

Subject: [PATCH 10/21] chore(lint): silence v2-surfaced noise, fix small
 findings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The v1 -> v2 golangci-lint bump exposed ~84 findings. Triaged:

Silenced in .golangci.yaml:
- gosec dropped entirely — every meaningful check (G104) duplicated
  errcheck, and the rest (G204/G304/G301) are inherent to a CLI tool
  that runs subprocesses, opens user-supplied paths, and writes to a
  ~/.zcli config dir.
- prealloc dropped — slice prealloc nudges are noise where the slice
  length is tiny or driven by control flow.
- errcheck excludes: never-erroring Builder/Buffer writes, fmt.Fprint*
  to printer wrappers, deferred Close (matched by source regex since
  errcheck's (io.Closer).Close exclude doesn't match concrete types).
- staticcheck: QF1008 (cosmetic embedded-field selector) and ST1001
  (intentional dot import in showcase/main.go) excluded by text rule.
  ST1005 silenced on src/cmdRunner/run.go — those error strings match
  exact stderr output from wireguard/ip and can't be lowered without
  breaking string comparisons.

Fixed in code:
- 3x ST1006 in src/version/message.go: drop '_' receiver names.
- 1x noctx in src/serviceLogs/handler_getLogs.go: use NewRequestWithContext.
- 1x testifylint in src/storage/handler_test.go: require.Empty for
  empty-string check.

make lint now passes for all three target GOOSes.

Subject: [PATCH 11/21] chore(lint): drop irrelevant linters, clean stale
 nolint directives
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Disabled 18 linters that either target frameworks the project doesn't
use or are purely stylistic:

Framework/library mismatch (no-op for this codebase):
- ginkgolinter, gochecksumtype, goheader, gomodguard, importas,
  loggercheck, promlinter, protogetter, rowserrcheck, sloglint,
  sqlclosecheck, zerologlint

Low signal / stylistic:
- asciicheck, bidichk, decorder, grouper, nosprintfhostport,
  tagliatelle (the last was already being papered over by a
  // nolint:tagliatelle on src/version/apiDto.go).

Kept: gosmopolitan, godox, mirror, maintidx — small but real signal.

Also removed nolint directives left dead by this PR's earlier drops
(tagliatelle, gosec).

Subject: [PATCH 12/21] chore(release): bump goreleaser to v2.15.4

Migrates .goreleaser.yaml off the deprecated 'builds:' / 'format:'
keys (archives + nfpms) onto the modern 'ids:' / 'formats:' schema,
which v2.15 requires. Locally verified with 'goreleaser check' and a
full --snapshot build: all asset names, tarball structure
(builds/<binary>), and .deb file names are identical to the v2.5.0
output.

Subject: [PATCH 13/21] chore: port tools/build.sh into Makefile, add build-dev
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds a 'make build-dev' target that builds a host-platform dev binary
into ./bin/zcli with the devel build tag, -gcflags='all=-l -N' for
dlv-friendly debugging, and version metadata composed from git
(branch:tag-(name:<email>)) — same shape build.sh produced.

windows-amd/linux-amd/darwin-amd/darwin-arm now share the same
DEV_BUILD recipe via the Makefile variable instead of shelling out.

Also fixes a latent bug build.sh has been carrying: -X was targeting
github.com/zeropsio/zcli/src/cmd.version which has no such symbol,
so the dev binaries always reported 'local'. The correct symbol is
src/version.version (the same one .goreleaser.yaml uses).

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- 'make install' builds an optimized, stripped zcli binary (using the
  same flag set goreleaser uses for releases — -trimpath, -s -w, version
  from git describe) and writes it to $GOBIN (falling back to
  $GOPATH/bin).
- 'make install-dev' uses the existing DEV_BUILD recipe (devel tag,
  -gcflags='all=-l -N', verbose version metadata) and writes a
  zcli-dev binary, so devs can keep a production zcli alongside the
  dlv-friendly dev build on the same PATH.

Subject: [PATCH 15/21] feat(make): install zcli to ~/.local/bin to match
 install.sh
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The public install.sh script puts zcli at $HOME/.local/bin/zcli, so
'make install' should land on the same PATH entry — anyone who has
the binary on their PATH from the public install script will get a
local make-installed binary picking up the same way.

'make install-dev' stays on $GOBIN/$GOPATH/bin (Go's convention for
dev tooling) so the dev build sits alongside other go-installed tools
and doesn't shadow the user-facing production zcli.

+## Development setup
+
+Prerequisites: **Go 1.26+**, `git`, `make`, and `curl` (used to fetch pinned tooling).
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/zeropsio/zcli && cd zcli
+make tools       # download pinned golangci-lint + goreleaser into ./bin
+make build-dev   # build ./bin/zcli for the host platform
+```
+
+Common targets (run `make help` for the full list):
+
+| Target | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `make build-dev` | Build `./bin/zcli` with the `devel` tag, no optimizations (dlv-friendly). |
+| `make install` | Build a production `zcli` and install to `~/.local/bin` (same path as `install.sh`). |
+| `make install-dev` | Install a `zcli-dev` binary into `$GOBIN` (or `$GOPATH/bin`). |
+| `make test` | Run the full Go test suite. |
+| `make lint` | Run `golangci-lint` across darwin/arm64, linux/amd64, windows/amd64. |
+| `make all` | Cross-build dev binaries for all release platforms. |
+| `make goreleaser-snapshot` | Dry-run a full release build into `./dist` (no upload). |
+
+Tool versions (`golangci-lint`, `goreleaser`) are pinned at the top of the `Makefile`. Bumping a version triggers an automatic reinstall on next use; run `make clean-tools` to wipe `./bin` and force a fresh install.
+
+

- actions/setup-go v5 -> v6
- actions/setup-node v4 -> v6
- golangci/golangci-lint-action v7 -> v9 (requires golangci-lint
  >= v2.1.0; we pin v2.12.0)
- goreleaser/goreleaser-action v6 -> v7
- sarisia/actions-status-discord v1.15.0 -> v1.16.0

The major bumps are all Node runtime updates (Node 20 -> Node 24) plus
the golangci-lint-action v8 'use absolute paths by default' change,
which doesn't affect our run. No input/argument schemas changed for
how we invoke them.

Subject: [PATCH 21/21] ci: install deb binary as /usr/local/bin/zcli

Add deb-only linux builds whose binary is named zcli and point the deb
package at them, so the installed command is /usr/local/bin/zcli instead
of the arch-suffixed name. The arch-suffixed builds stay for the archives
and npm wrapper, which depend on those exact names.
