`main` is protected, so the compose job cannot push a bundle there -- the pre-receive hook declines it, which is not something a nightly cron can resolve. Bundles now publish to a branch of their own, at its root, so BUNDLE_BASE follows them. Everything the original choice was for survives the move: a reviewable diff, a git history of the compat matrix, and a plain anonymous URL that needs no credentials on the shard host. The test's bundle is now a frozen fixture rather than an include of the published file, which this checkout no longer carries. Frozen is the honest shape anyway: a test that silently re-targeted whatever CI published last would change meaning without a commit. It is still a real CI-emitted document, copied verbatim. Nothing is released from `edge`, so no shipped binary ever read the old URL. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Bundles
These files are generated. Do not edit them by hand.
A bundle names one exact, protocol-checked combination of the two components the installer
deploys — a uo-link sidecar release and a servuo-plugins overlay release. The installer does not
hardcode versions and does not resolve "latest" at run time; it fetches one of these documents and
installs what it names. The bundle is the compat matrix.
They are written by .gitea/workflows/bundle.yml, which composes
one whenever a component publishes a release (dispatched by that release's own workflow) and
nightly, so a missed dispatch self-heals. A run that finds nothing changed writes nothing.
See docs/installer/PLAN.md §7 for the design.
Layout
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
current.json |
The bundle the installer uses by default. Always a copy of the newest bundle-*.json. |
bundle-<tag>.json |
Every bundle ever published, kept forever so --bundle <tag> stays reproducible. |
Tags are UTC dates — 2026.08.04. A second bundle on the same day (a sidecar release in the
morning, an overlay release in the afternoon) becomes 2026.08.04.2, so one tag always names
exactly one matrix.
How the installer fetches these
Plain anonymous GETs against a public repo. The shard host gets no git and no Gitea credentials
(PLAN.md §1), so nothing here may require auth:
https://gitea.whitlocktech.com/RunicGateway/installer/raw/branch/main/bundles/current.json
https://gitea.whitlocktech.com/RunicGateway/installer/raw/branch/main/bundles/bundle-2026.08.04.json
Bundles are committed rather than published as Gitea releases because this repo's own releases are
the installer binaries, and /releases/latest returns whichever release is newest regardless of
kind — interleaving the two would make "latest" intermittently resolve to a release containing no
installer binary.
Schema
schema is the version of this document's shape, and is unrelated to protocol (the uo-link wire
protocol) or to either component's release version. All three move independently.
{
"schema": 1,
"bundle": "2026.08.04", // this bundle's tag; what --bundle takes
"generated": "2026-08-04T16:07:13Z",
"protocol": 3, // the wire protocol both halves speak (gate 1 proved it)
"link": {
"repo": "RunicGateway/link",
"tag": "v1.1.0",
"version": "1.1.0",
"protocol": 3,
"assets": { // per-platform: the installer runs on both
"linux-x86_64": { "name": "…", "url": "…", "sha256": "…" },
"windows-x86_64": { "name": "…", "url": "…", "sha256": "…" }
}
},
"overlay": {
"repo": "RunicGateway/servuo-plugins",
"tag": "v0.1.1",
"version": "0.1.1",
"commit": "3a52abb…", // recorded into install.json at deploy time
"protocol": 3,
"servuo": {
"min_version": "57.4", // base overlay: only adds files
"patches_verified_against": "57.4" // patch tier: skipped with a warning elsewhere
},
"asset": { "name": "runicgateway-overlay-0.1.1.tar.gz", "url": "…", "sha256": "…" }
}
}
The two things worth knowing
sha256 is load-bearing, not decorative. Every artifact Runic Gateway publishes is deliberately
unsigned (PLAN.md §3) — the checksum is the entire trust anchor. Each hash here was computed by
CI from the asset it actually downloaded, after verifying it against the SHA256SUMS the
publishing repo shipped beside it. The installer must verify every download against these values and
refuse on a mismatch. A bundle whose hashes are trusted but never checked buys nothing.
link.protocol and overlay.protocol are always equal, and that is the point. The sidecar
rejects a protocol mismatch with 409 rather than mis-parsing, so a mismatched pair is a shard
emitting into a void. CI refuses to publish one: it reads PROTOCOL_VERSION from the sidecar's
source at its release tag and the declared protocol from the overlay tarball's manifest.json, and
fails if they differ. The top-level protocol is that agreed value.
