feat: prepare compiled Composer distribution with a PHP builder - #97
Code Standards builds an extensionless builds/code-standards executable using PHP, and Composer's bin targets it directly. Bundled libraries live in require-dev; the builder resolves exact locked runtime roots inside a private disposable tree, preserving the source manifests/vendor and avoiding tool self-consumption. Consumers install a ready binary without CPX, runtime library solver edges, wrappers, or a build hook.
The archive policy preserves the compiled file, Composer manifests, license, and entire resources/skills/templates payload; source, config, tests, and contributor build scripts are excluded. Documentation/skills use Composer and vendor/bin/code-standards, including optional Composer scripts and global use. Executable reusables remain under .github/workflows; resource callers follow the Changelog pattern without duplicating implementation. Reusable source checkouts install contributor dependencies with scripts/plugins disabled. Release-channel workflows are unchanged.
All tracked Python harnesses were removed. The PHP harness verifies actual Git/Composer ZIP file hashes and resources; local/global --prefer-dist; a real --prefer-source clone; install --no-dev; direct compiled Composer proxies; one solver package; source absent in dist and retained in source; CWD/private0700 runtime cleanup/current source+lock identity; native ECS/Rector/MND/XML/schema behavior; poisoned consumer autoload independence; and source/config/Composer byte preservation.
Validation on current HEAD 4eb9442, base main93e27aa:
PR Standards38 and Changelog427 green. Codex code/security reviews completed without findings on this SHA. Exact-tree independent static review clean:8366f7018c619c9f7b7338d9895a6b8ec563bbe7.
Mac PHP8.5.12 also built the same source/lock candidate and passed the PHP harness (local/global/source). Direct extensionless executable exits0. Generated files remain under /tmp; no consumer touched.
GZ artifact 48,617,729 bytes; all three Linux matrix builds SHA256 e968bdd4f25b15b09ebd611ad6b708c136ea10a155855a49e5c0b44e51610bc3. Local SHA differs; cross-platform byte reproducibility is not claimed.
All previous CodeRabbit threads addressed/resolved. Current-head full review is externally rate-limited (next included review approximately23:11UTC); no billing/config/permission changes made. A stale review does not satisfy the merge gate.
Draft publication gate: no binary is committed and no release/tag/asset transport or consumer migration is activated. Default Packagist GitHub zipballs require the ready executable in the tagged Git tree: export-ignore cannot add it, and a GitHub release asset alone is not automatic Composer dist. The minimal standard route is deliberately versioning this ~46.4MiB compiled file in the release tree in this same repository; that binary-in-Git decision remains pending. Explicit alternate dist metadata would need independently verified real Packagist ingestion before adoption. Source-only tags must not be released with this new bin contract. PHP-only portability is not claimed: required extensions, including Phar/zlib, are declared; DOM is optional for XML.
Refs #2. Keep draft until the publication decision and current CodeRabbit review are complete; no merge/release requested.
Added a ready-to-run compiled executable distributed through Composer, with local and global installation options.
The executable runs with its own bundled runtime, keeps temporary files isolated, and cleans them up when it exits.
Added automatic refresh of the committed executable when eligible CI checks fail.
Documentation
Updated installation, configuration, and workflow guidance for the compiled distribution and its requirements.
Bug Fixes
Improved CI checks to verify the compiled executable matches the current source before use.
The pull request adds a Composer-distributed PHAR executable with a private extracted runtime. It updates package metadata, CI build and refresh workflows, cache selection, archive and consumer tests, release-channel automation, and documentation.
Changes: PHAR distribution
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Build and package contract .gitattributes, .gitignore, box.json, composer.json, scripts/phar/prepare.php, .github/workflows/code-standards-*.yml
Composer and Box configuration define the PHAR payload and runtime packages. The preparation script builds a runtime from locked packages, and archive rules exclude source and build files.
Executable runtime and cache behavior scripts/phar/stub.php, src/Config/ECSConfig.php, tests/Config/CacheLifetimeTest.php, README.md, docs/resolved-preset.rst
The stub extracts the PHAR into a temporary runtime, loads its autoloader and entrypoint, and removes the runtime at shutdown. Cache selection uses the marked runtime when present; explicit cache overrides remain in place.
Build qualification and distribution tests .github/workflows/repository-ci.yml, .github/workflows/repository-phar-refresh.yml, tests/Distribution/*, tests/Fixtures/phar-consumer.php, tests/Automation/WorkflowTest.php, tests/Integration/EcsBootstrapTest.php
CI compiles the PHAR, compares it with the committed executable, and runs distribution tests. A refresh workflow can commit a downloaded artifact to an eligible branch. Tests cover archive contents, Composer installation modes, executable behavior, and cleanup.
Distribution and consumer documentation README.md, AGENTS.md, .changelog/*, docs/*, resources/skills/*, resources/workflows/*
Documentation describes installation, package boundaries, runtime and cache behavior, consumer configuration, build qualification, and workflow-template use.
Release-channel automation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Stable tag selection and tests .github/workflows/repository-release-channels.yml, tests/Automation/WorkflowContextTest.php, tests/Automation/ReleaseChannelGuardTest.cjs, docs/automation.rst
The release selector uses GitHub CLI tag data and PHP to validate stable tags and set promotion outputs. Tests now run the workflow guard using fixture tags; the former Node test file is removed.
Published workflow channel references .github/workflows/repository-changelog.yml, tests/Automation/WorkflowTest.php, docs/automation.rst
The changelog workflow reference changes to @v0. The automation documentation describes the published channel and versioned tagger reference.
Consumer-facing Rector examples point to a path that does not exist after a Composer install, so copied commands fail. This is a small documentation fix and does not affect the distribution's runtime behavior.

Thanks for using CodeRabbit! It's free for OSS, and your support helps us grow. If you like it, consider giving us a shout-out.
A rabbit checks the PHAR by moonlit light. It packs its tools and tucks the source from sight. A private path appears, then clears away. The cache rests there until the end of day. “Build and test,” the rabbit hops, “then ship!”
Contribution: 3 new valid fragment(s). Policy: ordinary.
phar-build-parity.md — fixed, patch
Compare the committed PHAR's complete stub and contents with the fresh reviewed build before execution, rejecting forged self-reported distribution manifests.
phar-cache-lifetime.md — fixed, patch
Keep compiled formatter caches inside the extracted runtime so repeated checks and fixes clean them up, preserving source-install cache reuse and explicit overrides.
phar-distribution-investigation.md — added, minor
Build an executable PHAR with PHP tooling and a direct Composer binary target, move bundled libraries to development dependencies, preserve all copyable resources, and ship the ready executable in standard Composer distributions.
Please review current HEAD 62f49d2, including the existing PHP 8.3–8.5 matrix's new PHAR qualification step. This remains an experimental build/packaging draft; production binary/dependency/publication contracts are not activated. The main reconciliation preserves #90/#96 unchanged.

avoids Docutils warnings.
Review comments at @scripts/phar/verify-runtime.py:
- Around line 19-20: Replace the load-wait loop in the runtime verifier with a
fail-fast check: when the one-minute load is at least 14, exit with a Pending
status instead of sleeping and retrying. Apply the same behavior to any repeated
load check in the verifier, preserving the below-14 path.
Review comments at @tests/Distribution/ArchiveTest.php:
- Around line 84-90: Add a regression assertion in the archive-content checks
that no archived path starts with scripts/phar/, verifying this exclusion for
both package archives.

feat: prepare compiled Composer distribution with a PHP builder

Please review current HEAD cbb5d77. The user rejected Python; all three Python harnesses are removed and replaced by PHP. Composer now targets extensionless builds/code-standards directly, libraries are build/dev dependencies, and consumption docs/skills use Composer/vendor bin. Independent exact-tree static review is clean. Please review the actual PHP build/runtime/proxy/archive contract; old .py findings are superseded. ArchiveTest now asserts scripts/phar exclusion, and the PHAR documentation was rewritten with matching heading underlines. Publication remains gated: no committed binary or activated release/dist metadata.

Please review the reconciled HEAD 5bef00cc4c6cce7911772c0b154ba52c49583c9d after the ECS 13.3.14 update landed in main. The PHAR branch preserves both current Action refs and the reviewed preset. Local Composer check completed (289 tests, 2,521 assertions, six environment skips), actionlint passed, and the PHAR built successfully.
Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.
At 5bef00cc4c6cce7911772c0b154ba52c49583c9d, the committed executable still bundles ECS 13.3.12, not the reconciled 13.3.14. Inspecting its embedded distribution-manifest.json also confirms that composer_lock_sha256 differs from the current lock and the embedded bin/ecs-worker hash differs from the current source. Composer consumers therefore execute the pre-reconciliation runtime, while the source-based Actions execute the updated runtime. The new repository-ci.yml qualification step will reject this artifact when comparing it with a fresh build, and verify.php independently rejects its stale lock/source identity. Rebuild and commit builds/code-standards from the reconciled tree; successfully building a separate local artifact does not update the tracked executable.
