Description

Stacked on #728 (C1). Linux packaging today is serial: clippy ~8m + cargo test ~42m + Tauri bundle ~61m (~1h56m). This adds a parallel linux-validate job on ubuntu-22.04 and moves R10, tsc, i18n:validate, clippy, and cargo test onto it.

The packaging job id stays build-and-release so rust-cache keys for the 4-leg matrix do not change. dbus follows the tests (portal_chooser / #510). Bundle tools (patchelf, rpm, squashfs-tools, libfuse3-dev) stay on the Linux packaging leg. security:regression still runs on every packaging OS.

linux-validate has timeout-minutes: 90 and the same C1 save-if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' }} (no shared-key with packaging).

Coverage unchanged. Wall clock should become about max(50, 61) instead of 8+42+61 serial.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (CI wall clock, not product)

Checklist

  • My code follows the project's code style
  • I have tested my changes (YAML load; quality-gate steps gone from packaging; present on linux-validate)
  • I have updated the documentation (if needed)
  • My changes generate no new warnings
  • Every commit is signed off (git commit -s), see CONTRIBUTING.md

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • CI/CD
    • Rust build caches are now restored across workflows but saved only for runs on the main branch, reducing redundant cache entries from pull requests and other branches.
    • Linux quality checks now run in a dedicated validation job, including version checks, type checking, localization validation, linting, and tests.
    • Build and release packaging runs separately from Linux validation.

GitHub Actions cache quota is 10 GB. Every rust-cache step saved by
default, so PR merge-ref entries filled the quota and evicted the
refs/heads/main Linux/Windows caches. The Linux packaging leg then
rebuilt from cold. Restore still runs on PRs; only a push to main
writes. Existing PR caches are left to age out.

Move R10, tsc, i18n:validate, clippy, and cargo test onto a new
ubuntu-22.04 linux-validate job so the 4-leg build-and-release
matrix can bundle in parallel. dbus follows the tests; bundle
tools stay on packaging. rust-cache save-if remains main-only.

The C2 move dropped the native-build / AppImage-retry comment above
the Linux tauri step. Put it back. timeout-minutes: 90 on
linux-validate so a hung cargo test cannot sit for the runner default.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflows add a dedicated Linux validation job, separate validation from packaging, and restrict Rust cache saves to main. Other refs can still restore existing caches.

Changes

CI workflow updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dedicated Linux validation job
.github/workflows/build.yml
Adds the linux-validate job with Node and Rust setup, Linux dependencies, version checks, TypeScript and i18n validation, clippy, and Rust tests.
Build and release packaging separation
.github/workflows/build.yml
Removes validation steps and dbus from build-and-release. The job retains packaging dependencies and saves Rust caches only on main.
Main-branch Rust cache saves
.github/workflows/aerorsync-*.yml, .github/workflows/checks.yml, .github/workflows/cli-smoke.yml, .github/workflows/delta-sync-integration.yml, .github/workflows/ftp-mlsd.yml, .github/workflows/nightly-telemetry.yml, .github/workflows/portal-chooser.yml, .github/workflows/snap-refresh.yml
Adds save-if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' }} to Rust cache steps. Other refs restore caches without saving new entries.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d4a7b

A tagged release can publish artifacts even when TypeScript, i18n, Clippy, Rust tests, or version validation fails. Publication should be gated on both validation and packaging before merge.

Changing the PR base emits pull_request edited, which build.yml does
not listen for (defaults are opened/synchronize/reopened). An empty
commit emits synchronize so linux-validate actually runs.

Comment thread .github/workflows/build.yml
C2 runs packaging in parallel with lint/test, so a v* tag could
sign and upload while clippy or cargo test was still failing.
Keep the matrix parallel. Move Sigstore signing and GitHub
Release upload to publish-github-release, which needs both
linux-validate and build-and-release. Snap and winget take the
same gate. A flaky Windows/macOS leg still must not block Linux
assets; a failed validate job must.
