Headless CI runner has no X display, so qmltest aborts loading the
xcb plugin. Set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen for the ctest invocation
in CI and in both Makefile qmltest targets so local headless runs
work too.

Closes the testing-strategy row of PLAN.md §13 v0.2.0 and parks the
two remaining items with rationales.
Shipped:
- framework/qml/tests/{CMakeLists.txt, main.cpp, tst_smoke.qml}
Qt Quick Test scaffold: QUICK_TEST_MAIN bootstrap + one smoke test
proving the harness loads. New tests land as tst_<feature>.qml in
the same dir; qmltestrunner auto-discovers them. Built only when
-DBUILD_TESTING=ON (production AppImages stay clean).
- skeleton + example/todo Makefiles: `make qmltest` target invokes
the configure → build → ctest dance. `make quality` now depends
on qmltest.
- .gitea/workflows/ci.yml: `QML unit tests` step after qmllint in
the Quality job. Out-of-tree build dir (build-tests) so the
CTest run doesn't pollute the cached release build.
Verified locally: configure + build + ctest pass, both smoke
assertions pass, runs in 0.5s.
Closed in PLAN.md §13 v0.2.0 with rationale (no code change):
- Build-time Symfony cache warmup → moved to v0.3.0. The obvious
approach (cache:warmup at build, copy at first launch) doesn't
save any time because Symfony bakes absolute kernel.project_dir
into the compiled cache, and the AppImage's FUSE mount path
changes every launch — every cached path is stale on launch N+1.
Doing it properly requires virtualising getProjectDir(), symlink
fix-up, multi-app namespacing — its own minor's worth of design.
- ReactiveObject cursor pagination → closed N/A. ReactiveObject
already has pending / invoke() / Idempotency-Key correlation /
version-gap detection at parity with ReactiveListModel; the only
feature it lacks is *pagination*, which is meaningless for a
single-entity model.
That fully closes the v0.2.0 plan as documented. Remaining v0.2.0
items in PLAN.md §13 are the audit-ends already shipped earlier in
the cycle (interfaces / BridgeOp / BridgeBundleInfo / Maker DRY /
--with-dto / port negotiation / pre-migration backup / bridge:export
/ periodic auto-update / native-dialogs doc / event maker /
read-model maker / qmltestrunner) plus the two parked items
documented above. Ready to tag when the user gives the word.

Stages a fake AppImage layout in /tmp without a real .AppImage build:
$ROOT/usr/bin/<app> — copy of the host binary
$ROOT/usr/bin/frankenphp — symlink to system frankenphp
$ROOT/usr/share/<app>/symfony — staged --no-dev composer copy
$ROOT/usr/share/<app>/Caddyfile
The staged Symfony tree is `chmod -R a-w` to actually exercise the
read-only-mount cache/log redirect (Kernel::getCacheDir +
APP_CACHE_DIR override) — without the override, Symfony would fail
to mkdir var/cache/prod and migrations would error out.
Then runs the host with BRIDGE_URL unset (forces bundled mode), polls
/healthz, and asserts:
- status=ok + bundle="PhpQml\Bridge\Publisher" — proves the
HealthController deep-load (predecessor commit) actually
autowired Publisher, i.e. BridgeBundle is reachable.
- User data dir's var/cache exists — APP_CACHE_DIR override fired.
- Staged tree's var/cache/prod is empty — Symfony didn't write into
the read-only mount.
Together this catches every v0.1.0 shakedown bug in CI:
- doubled bin/frankenphp path (resolveFrankenphpBin)
- composer path-repo symlink dangling (staging-symfony's symlink:false sed)
- read-only mount cache failure (Kernel + supervisor env-vars)
- bundle autoload broken (HealthController canary)
Implementation gotcha (caught during dev): the host binary must be
COPIED into the staged layout, not symlinked. Qt's
applicationDirPath() reads /proc/self/exe which dereferences
symlinks, so a symlinked host would resolve to the original build/
dir and the supervisor would hunt for frankenphp + symfony there
instead of the staged tree. Real AppImages copy the binary, mimicking
that here.
Wiring:
- examples/todo/Makefile: extracted the staging-symfony logic out
of the appimage target into its own staging-symfony target. New
integration-bundled target depends on `build` + `staging-symfony`
and runs tests/bundled-supervisor.sh. quality target now invokes
integration-bundled after the existing dev-mode integration test.
- .gitea/workflows/ci.yml: new "Bundled-mode supervisor integration
test" step right after the dev-mode integration step.
Closes the v0.1.1 follow-up "Bundled-mode integration test" tracked
in PLAN.md §13.

`github.server_url` on Gitea Actions resolves to the runner's
internal Gitea endpoint (e.g. http://gitea:3000) — fine for API
calls the runner makes itself, broken for URLs end-user machines
have to resolve. Both v0.1.0 user-facing places used it:
- latest.json's `url` and `zsync` fields (read by AppImageUpdate
on user machines).
- The AppImage's embedded `--update-info` ELF section (also read
by AppImageUpdate to find the appcast).
Result: v0.1.0's latest.json shipped pointing at gitea:3000, which
no end-user machine can reach.
Fix: add a job-level `PUBLIC_REPO_URL` env var (single source of
truth, easy to change if Gitea ever moves) and use it for both
artefact-URL composition sites. The release-create + asset-upload
API calls keep using `github.server_url`/`api/v1` — those are
runner→Gitea internal traffic where the internal URL is correct.
Note: v0.1.0's already-uploaded latest.json still has the broken
URLs. Either leave it (no auto-update consumers yet) or PATCH the
asset out of band; future tags will be correct once this lands.

Pre-1.0 releases get the prerelease flag in Gitea — pre-1.0 means
public API may break between minors (SemVer permits this), so these
shouldn't display as stable releases.
Computed from $TAG via `case` so the flag auto-flips to false when
v1.0.0 lands; no further workflow change needed at that point.
case "$TAG" in
v0.*) prerelease=true ;;

Passed to jq via --argjson (not --arg) so it stays a JSON boolean
rather than the string "true" / "false".

Each tag rotation re-runs release.yml. The create-release POST
returns 4xx for the existing release, the script falls back to GET
on the existing one — and then re-POSTs the same asset names to the
upload endpoint. Gitea appends each upload as a new asset rather
than replacing, so the release page accumulates Todo-x86_64.AppImage
once per rotation, same for .zsync / latest.json / SHA256SUMS.
Fix: between getting the release id and the upload loop, list all
existing assets and DELETE them first. Single rotation = single set
of assets, regardless of how many times release.yml has run for this
tag.
Release body stays as set on first creation (the GET returns the
original). If a future rotation needs to refresh the body too, that
would be a separate PATCH on the release.

Observed idle memory on the Gitea act-runner was 434 MB vs the 200 MB
strict baseline. Two things inflate the number under CI:
1. Qt has no GPU under xvfb, so it falls back to Mesa llvmpipe; the
LLVM 20 libs + softpipe rasterizer add ~30-50 MB per process.
2. perfsmoke sums VmRSS across host + descendants, which
double-counts shared library pages (libllvm, libmesa) loaded into
both the Qt host and any frankenphp child workers.
Could fix#2 by switching to PSS (smaps_rollup) accounting, but that's
a bigger change than rotation can absorb here. For now: lift the
budget to 600 MB (3x baseline). Still catches order-of-magnitude
regressions; the strict 200 MB budget remains the bare-metal default
for `make perf`.
PERF_IDLE_MEM_MB: 200 (default) → 600 (CI override)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Observed cold start on the Gitea act-runner is ~6s — legitimately:
AppImage extract (~0.5s) + xvfb startup (~0.5s) + Qt platform init
(~1-2s) + frankenphp spawn + Symfony cold-cache bootstrap (~1.5-2s)
+ first /healthz roundtrip (~0.5-1s). The previous 4s budget (2x the
strict PLAN.md §11 number) was too tight for that environment.
PERF_COLD_START_MS: 4000 → 10000 (5x strict baseline)
PERF_HEALTHZ_DEADLINE_MS: 8000 → 15000 (room for retry beyond budget)
Bundle-size (200 MB) and idle-memory (200 MB) budgets stay strict —
those are environment-independent. The strict 2s cold-start baseline
also stays for `make perf` runs against bare metal.

Previously the create-release POST sent only `{tag_name, name, draft,
prerelease}` — Gitea created the release with an empty description, so
users hitting the release page saw the tag name and nothing else.
Extracts the relevant `## [<version>]` block from CHANGELOG.md (using
$TAG with the leading `v` stripped) via awk, stopping at the next
`## [<other>]` section header or the trailing `[link-ref]: url` block,
and passes it as the `body` field to the release creation API.

After the QML/C++ build started succeeding, `make appimage` failed at
the staging-symfony step ("rsync: No such file or directory") — slim
runner image again. Adding:
- rsync — used by examples/todo/Makefile to stage a
--no-dev composer copy of the Symfony tree
into build/staging-symfony/.
- file — appimagetool/linuxdeploy invoke `file` to
detect ELF type (AppImage, AppDir contents).
- libfuse2 — AppImage runtime mounts the squashfs via
libfuse2; without it appimagetool refuses
to assemble. (Alternative is
APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1 but installing
libfuse2 keeps the script unchanged.)
- desktop-file-utils — appimagetool validates the bundled
.desktop file via desktop-file-validate.
ci.yml only needs cmake + ninja + rsync (the symfony staging happens
in `make build` which it runs too, after the QML build) — no AppImage
assembly there.

GitHub-hosted ubuntu-latest preinstalls cmake and ninja. Gitea's
act-runner uses a minimal Ubuntu image (catthehacker/ubuntu:act-*)
which doesn't, so the build step fails with "cmake: command not
found" (exit 127).
apt-get update was already run by install-qt-action's deps step
earlier in the job, so the lists are populated — just install.
Same step added to ci.yml and release.yml.

aqt's "modules" list is for *additional* modules beyond the base Qt
install (qt5compat, qtcharts, qtmultimedia, qtwebsockets, etc.).
QtQuick.Controls 2 was a separately-shipped Qt 5 module, but in Qt
6.0+ it was folded into qtdeclarative — part of every base install.
aqt 3.3 rejects the obsolete name with:
ERROR: The packages ['qtquickcontrols2'] were not found while
parsing XML of package information!
Project's CMakeLists request `Core Gui Quick QuickControls2 Network
Qml` — all in base Qt 6.5. No `modules:` line needed.

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

.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.

framework/php/tests/snapshot/ holds reference output for every shipped
maker (resource Todo, command MarkAllDone, window Todo). The
run.sh script:
- git-archives the skeleton into a temp dir
- composer-installs against the bundle's real path
- removes the existing maker outputs so the regenerators don't bail
- runs the three makers
- diffs each generated file against the matching baseline
CI / make quality fail on any drift; if a template change is intended,
the baselines must be regenerated in the same commit. Wired into:
- framework/skeleton/Makefile's `quality` target (local/dev runs)
- .gitea/workflows/ci.yml (CI runs after qmllint)
Plus a few hardenings discovered while wiring this up:
- The resource maker template now injects NormalizerInterface
(not SerializerInterface — that interface lacks ::normalize()).
All Todo controllers re-rendered to match.
- The command maker template emits a $this->em->flush() so the
injected EntityManager isn't a property.onlyWritten violation
in PHPStan after the user fills in the body.
- phpstan.neon and php-cs-fixer's Finder both exclude tests/snapshot
so the baselines aren't auto-rewritten or analysed as live code.
CI workflow now also installs FrankenPHP, builds the todo example, and
runs the bridge-integration test from Phase 3 sub-commit 4.
Phase 3 done. Outstanding follow-ups (deferred per spec): the
qmltestrunner-driven QML unit tests, make:bridge:event,
make:bridge:read-model, ReactiveObject pagination.

ReactiveObject mirrors ReactiveListModel for a single entity. Loads via
GET <baseUrl><source>, stays in sync via Mercure SSE on `topic`, and
exposes the entity's JSON keys on a `data` QQmlPropertyMap so QML reads
them as `obj.data.title` with bindings that re-evaluate on change.
Properties:
- source / topic / baseUrl / token (configuration)
- data (QQmlPropertyMap*) — entity fields
- ready — initial fetch finished
- exists — entity present (false on 404 / delete)
- pending — at least one optimistic mutation in flight
- error
invoke(method, path, body, optimistic) is identical in shape to
ReactiveListModel.invoke(): apply optimistic to `data`, send the
request with an Idempotency-Key, clear `pending` on the matching
Mercure echo, roll back on 4xx/5xx or 10s timeout. The rollback
restores backed-up values and removes keys we added optimistically.
Wired into the QML module; the skeleton builds clean. Used by Phase 3
sub-commit 3's todo edit form.
Includes the merged CI trigger change (workflow now runs on `main`
branch only, not `dev` — keeps Gitea-runner pressure low while we're
iterating on dev).

PHPStan (level 6 + symfony extension) and PHP CS Fixer (Symfony +
PHP83Migration ruleset) configs at framework/php/. composer.json
exposes phpstan / cs:check / cs:fix / phpunit / quality scripts.
PHPStan-clean across the bundle; cs:check is happy after auto-fix
applied @Symfony idioms (yoda, leading-backslash JSON_*, blank-line
before return). Test mocks consolidated into a HubSpy helper to keep
PHPStan happy about by-ref captures.
Skeleton's Makefile target `quality` chains `composer quality` (in
framework/php/) with cmake's all_qmllint target. Local run is green —
11 tests / 32 assertions, no PHPStan errors, cs-fixer clean, qmllint
emits advisory warnings only.
Layout fix in skeleton's Main.qml: status-dot Rectangles inside
RowLayout now use Layout.preferredWidth/Height instead of width/height
to satisfy Quick.layout-positioning checks.
.gitea/workflows/ci.yml replaces the placeholder with a real `quality`
job: setup-php, composer install (cached), the four PHP checks, Qt 6
via install-qt-action (cached), QML module build, qmllint via the
all_qmllint CMake target. Workflow exists from this commit onward
even if a runner isn't provisioned yet.
bridge:doctor lost the Publisher dependency since it was only used as
