install-qt-action defaults `dir:` to `${{ runner.temp }}` if unset.
GitHub-hosted runners populate runner.temp; Gitea/Forgejo's act-runner
leaves it as the empty string. The action then rejects the empty path
with `TypeError: "dir" input may not be empty`.
Hardcoding `dir: ${{ github.workspace }}/qt` works on both — workspace
is always populated and writable, and the path is inside the job's
working tree so it's auto-cleaned with the workspace.
Same change in ci.yml and release.yml.

jurplel/install-qt-action@v4 invokes actions/setup-python internally
with the same `cache:` value the user passes to the Qt action. Our
`cache: true` (intended for Qt's own install cache) gets propagated
verbatim, so setup-python receives `cache: 'true'` — which it rejects
with "Caching for 'true' is not supported" because the only valid
values are 'pip' / 'pipenv' / 'poetry'. Surfaces consistently on
Gitea/Forgejo's act-runner.
Workaround: provide our own actions/setup-python@v5 step (Python is
needed for aqtinstall, the tool install-qt-action uses to fetch Qt),
and set `setup-python: false` on the Qt action so it skips the
broken internal call. Qt's own install cache (the `cache: true` we
actually want) keeps working.
Applied to both .gitea/workflows/ci.yml and .gitea/workflows/release.yml.

examples/todo/tests/perfsmoke.sh asserts the PLAN.md §11 budgets
against the built AppImage:
- Bundle size ≤ 200 MB (hard cap; ≤ 120 MB target)
- Cold start ≤ 2000 ms from launch to first /healthz 200
- Idle RSS (host + descendants in the process group) ≤ 200 MB after
a 2 s settle.
Each budget is overridable via env (PERF_COLD_START_MS etc.) for slow
shared CI runners; defaults are the strict numbers from the plan. Runs
the AppImage under xvfb-run when DISPLAY is unset; falls back to
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen otherwise (the build script already bundles
libqoffscreen.so via EXTRA_PLATFORM_PLUGINS).
Wired into:
- examples/todo/Makefile → `make perf`
- .gitea/workflows/release.yml → runs after AppImage build, before
zsync + upload, with cold-start budget bumped to 4 s for CI.
CI now also installs zsync + xvfb in one step.
examples/todo/README.md gains an "AppImage packaging (Phase 4a)"
section walking through `make appimage`, bundled-mode behaviour, the
auto-update QML hooks (BackendConnection.checkForUpdates() / applyUpdate()),
and `make perf`.
PLAN.md §13 Phase 4 marked **4a closed**. 4b (macOS) and 4c (Windows)
stay stubs until their runners + certs exist.

Wires in the option-(a) sidecar approach: the AppImage carries a
bundled AppImageUpdate AppImage and an embedded update-info string
in the .upd_info ELF section. BackendConnection drives both the
check and the apply via QProcess.
BackendConnection:
- Q_INVOKABLE checkForUpdates()
Bundled mode only. Spawns AppImageUpdate.AppImage with
--check-for-update <APPIMAGE>. Exits 0 → noUpdatesAvailable,
1 → updatesAvailable, anything else → updateCheckFailed.
Dev mode: emits updateCheckFailed("…dev-mode only").
- Q_INVOKABLE applyUpdate()
Bundled mode only. Spawns AppImageUpdate.AppImage with
--remove-old <APPIMAGE>. Replaces the running AppImage in
place; user must restart. Emits updateApplied or
updateApplyFailed.
- Sidecar path resolves to applicationDirPath()/AppImageUpdate.AppImage
by default, overridable via BRIDGE_APPIMAGEUPDATE_BIN.
- APPIMAGE env (set by the AppImage runtime) determines the target
file. Outside an AppImage both methods fail loudly.
build-appimage.sh:
- Auto-downloads AppImageUpdate-x86_64.AppImage into the cached
tools dir and copies it into AppDir/usr/bin/AppImageUpdate.AppImage.
- New --update-info flag, forwarded to appimagetool's -u so the
.upd_info ELF section carries an "zsync|<URL>" string the sidecar
will fetch.
examples/todo Makefile forwards APPIMAGE_UPDATE_INFO env to the
script as --update-info.
release.yml:
- Builds the AppImage with APPIMAGE_UPDATE_INFO set to the canonical
Gitea Releases asset URL for this tag.
- Installs zsync, runs zsyncmake to generate Todo-x86_64.AppImage.zsync.
- Generates a JSON appcast (latest.json) with version / url / sha256 /
size / zsync URL / released_at — useful as an HTTP-fetchable
fallback for clients that prefer a structured manifest.
- SHA256SUMS now covers AppImage + zsync + latest.json.
- Uploads all four assets to the Gitea Release.
AppImage size grows from ~104 MB to ~152 MB with the sidecar bundled.
Embedding verified: objdump shows .upd_info populated with the
expected zsync URL after a local build.

CI was failing on the Install-bundle-dependencies step because
shivammathur/setup-php was installing 8.3 while Symfony 8.x dependencies
declare php >= 8.4. Local composer install worked because the dev box
runs PHP 8.5.5; CI doesn't.
Bumps:
- framework/php/composer.json
- framework/skeleton/symfony/composer.json
- examples/todo/symfony/composer.json
- .gitea/workflows/ci.yml php-version: '8.3' → '8.4'
- .gitea/workflows/release.yml same
- PLAN.md §13 Phase 1 *Detailed scope* PHP minimum row
PHPStan / cs-fixer / PHPUnit stay green locally.

.gitea/workflows/release.yml builds the example's AppImage on every
v* tag push and uploads it to a Gitea Release together with a signed
SHA256SUMS:
- Same PHP / Qt / FrankenPHP setup as the quality job (cached).
- Reuses the AppImage recipe via `make appimage` (FRANKENPHP env
points at the runner's installed binary; APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1
to avoid FUSE inside CI).
- sha256sum → SHA256SUMS.
- When a GPG_KEY secret is present, imports it and emits
SHA256SUMS.asc (--detach-sign --armor). Skipped silently if
secrets aren't configured — CI red-lines for real failures, not
for missing operational secrets.
- Creates the Release via the Gitea API
(POST /repos/{repo}/releases) and uploads
AppImage + SHA256SUMS + SHA256SUMS.asc.
Workflow exists from this commit onward even before a Gitea runner is
provisioned; it'll just fail at the runner-needed steps if no runner
picks it up.
Required Gitea secrets (configurable when ready):
- GITEA_TOKEN — repo-scoped token, write:repository
- GPG_KEY — ASCII-armoured private key (optional)
- GPG_PASSPHRASE — the key's passphrase (optional)
Sub-commit 4 will append a zsync + appcast (latest.json) step here for
auto-update.
