ci: make a manual desktop run rehearse the signing gates - #169
Merged
Conversation
A manual run already built both platforms with --publish never, but every signing gate was tag-gated, so the rehearsal skipped exactly the steps worth rehearsing. The credential check, the notarization and staple checks, and the Windows signature verification all first executed on the tag that depended on them — which is how 0.2.1 shipped two failed builds. Ungate the four verification steps. Everything that touches the releases repository stays behind the tag: the on-main precondition, the token mints, the draft creation, and the asset uploads. A manual run is now the full release path minus publication, with the installers attached to the run. A test locks the arrangement in, because re-adding one of those `if:` lines would quietly restore the hole rather than break anything visible: restoring the gate on the Windows credential check fails it.

In @.github/workflows/desktop-release.yml:
- Around line 190-192: Update the nearby unsigned-build comment to state that
manual runs require a signed application and may fail when signing is
unavailable, matching the unconditional Require signing step and subsequent
macOS signature/notarization checks. Do not change the workflow behavior.
In `@apps/desktop/tests/desktop-release-workflow.spec.ts`:
- Around line 44-61: The test in “runs every signing gate on a manual rehearsal,
not only on a tag” must verify that each signing step executes in both
workflow_dispatch and tag contexts, rather than only checking for the literal
tag reference. Parse the step and containing job conditions or evaluate
representative manual and tag contexts, and fail when either trigger path would
skip any rehearsed signing gate.

Two comments, both correct. The macOS note still said manual runs "stay free to build unsigned", which this change had just made false, and the Windows note described unsigned artifacts as an outcome rather than a failure. Both now describe what the run actually does. The test only looked for the tag condition, so `if: github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch'` would satisfy it while skipping the tag path — the same hole entered from the other side. It now rejects any condition on those steps, and that scenario fails it.
