The standard linux release binary dynamically links glibc 2.38+ and
GLIBCXX_3.4.32, so it fails to start on Debian 11, Ubuntu 20.04/22.04,
RHEL/Rocky 8/9, Amazon Linux 2, etc. — yet install.sh, the npm and PyPI
wrappers, and the binary's own self-update all fetched it by default,
contradicting the "single static binary" promise.
Point every linux install + self-update path at the fully-static
"-portable" asset (gcc -static), which has no glibc floor. macOS/Windows
are unaffected and unchanged.
- install.sh, pkg/npm/install.js, pkg/pypi _cli.py: select -portable on linux
- src/cli/cli.c: self-update download URL AND checksum archive name both use
-portable on linux (they must match or the update fails checksum verify)
- scripts/smoke-test.sh: assert linux self-update targets the -portable asset
- scripts/ci/check-glibc-compat.sh: new guard — runs the binary inside
debian:bullseye (glibc 2.31) and asserts it starts
- _smoke.yml: run the guard on the portable binary in smoke-linux-portable
Reproduced: standard binary -> "GLIBC_2.38 not found" on glibc 2.31;
portable binary runs cleanly.
install.ps1:
- Remove both Unblock-File calls (Defender ClickFix.R!ml signal)
- Remove ExecutionPolicy ByPass from usage comment (scanned by Defender)
- Add HTTPS-only URL scheme check on CBM_DOWNLOAD_URL
install.sh:
- Add HTTPS-only URL scheme check on CBM_DOWNLOAD_URL
pkg/go wrapper:
- Add validateURLScheme() to httpGet and fetchChecksums (defense-in-depth,
matching Python wrapper's _validate_url_scheme from PR #248)
All installers now allow localhost/127.0.0.1 for testing but reject
http://, ftp://, file:// and other schemes.
install.sh: one-liner for macOS/Linux — detects OS/arch (Rosetta-
aware), downloads release, verifies checksum, extracts, signs on
macOS, runs install -y for all 10 agents. Supports --ui flag and
CBM_DOWNLOAD_URL env var for testing.
install.ps1: one-liner for Windows — Invoke-WebRequest + Expand-
Archive + Unblock-File (strips MOTW), installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%,
adds to user PATH via [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable.
CI pre-signing: add codesign --sign - step for macOS builds in
both dry-run.yml and release.yml, before archiving. Release
binaries now ship pre-signed.
Phase 12 smoke tests: real HTTP download via local artifact server,
checksum verification, archive extraction, binary verification.
Runs only when SMOKE_DOWNLOAD_URL is set (CI provides it).
Phase 13 smoke tests: install.sh E2E — runs full script with local
URL + isolated HOME, verifies binary placed, signed, runs, and
agent configs created.
CI HTTP server: smoke jobs start python3 HTTP server serving the
built binary as a tar.gz/zip archive + checksums.txt. Enables
Phases 12-13 in CI on all platforms.
Update security allowlist: remove system() entry (eliminated),
add cbm_popen for pgrep. Update README with one-liner Quick Start.
