After this PR the release pipeline produces a real out-of-box install
story for molecule-cli — multi-OS binaries with checksums, archived
with shell completions, plus a CI gate that catches races in the
new connect orchestrator.
What changed:
- `.github/workflows/release.yml`
* Vet now scans `./...` (was: three packages); silently let
regressions in internal/backends/ + internal/connect/ ship.
* Test now runs `-race -count=1 ./...` (was: just `cmd/molecule`
without race). The connect orchestrator runs heartbeat + poll
goroutines concurrently — a race here would corrupt cursor state.
* Release job switches from inline `go build` per matrix entry to
`goreleaser release --clean`. Same multi-OS output, plus
auto-generated changelog, checksum files, and one config file
that future channels (brew tap, scoop, choco) hook into without
new workflow steps.
* `goreleaser check` runs first so a broken .goreleaser.yaml fails
fast at validation, not partway through a build.
* Path filter expanded so .goreleaser.yaml edits trigger CI.
- `.goreleaser.yaml`
* Pre-generate shell completions in the before: hook so the archive
can include them. (`molecule completion <shell>` still works at
runtime — this just ships the files for users who prefer a
drop-in setup.)
* Update archive `formats:` (plural) for goreleaser v2 — `format:`
was deprecated.
* Drop the redundant per-archive checksum block; the top-level
`checksum:` covers it.
* Header comment rewritten to reflect that this is now the
canonical release path (was: "wire it up when ready").
Test plan:
- [x] yaml parses for both files
- [x] `go test -race -count=1 ./...` green
- [ ] CI on this PR exercises the new test job (vet ./..., -race ./...)
- [ ] First tag push (v0.1.0) exercises the release job
After merge, cutting v0.1.0 is:
git tag v0.1.0 && git push origin v0.1.0
# → Release artifacts auto-built and published to GitHub Releases
This is M1.4 of [RFC #10](https://github.com/Molecule-AI/molecule-cli/issues/10).
