Other PRs are blocked by Windows ACP half-close tests timing out. Keep the
coverage job running for signal, but remove it from all-checks-passed.needs
until the Windows skip fix is validated.
Render reconstructable system prompts at each request-series boundary, preserve series declarations through pre-step wrappers, and keep the presentation and replay snapshots aligned across clients.
Keep the 4-partition coverage profile, split the monolithic windows-native
job into smaller required jobs (build, coverage, native-tests) plus a
non-blocking observational job. Update ci-workflow.spec for the new topology.
Run the GitHub Windows runtime leg under the runner’s native PowerShell instead of inheriting the POSIX Bash body. POSIX and Windows now own explicit output resolution, virtual-environment setup, environment scrubbing, and keyless/live black-box commands, while portable build commands continue to use each runner’s default shell.
Put the pinned uv installation on the GitLab Windows job PATH before either the smoke or release builder invokes it. Reject a runtime executable whose basename does not match the selected platform manifest, and reject Intel macOS at platform selection instead of reporting a misleading missing artifact.
Add a complete PowerShell path to the published Python tutorial and record the three-phase shutdown-time bound in the Windows runtime decision. Workflow, Python, and bilingual documentation tests pin the resulting behavior.
Add node24-win-x64 to the required pull-request and public-release matrices on a native windows-2025 runner, and publish the same win_amd64 artifact from the GitLab tag pipeline. GitHub uses Git Bash for the shared release script while selecting the Windows venv's Scripts/python.exe explicitly; the Linux and macOS legs retain their existing commands and native checks.
Run the complete installed-wheel keyless suite and the trusted two-turn DeepSeek smoke on Windows exactly as on the existing targets. Make the minimal blackbox choose persistent PowerShell on Windows, keep advanced and restart snapshots platform-stable by disabling both one-shot shell variants, locate the generated dsh.exe console command, and validate text lines without assuming POSIX newlines.
Workflow tests pin the four-target matrix, Windows runner and wheel tag, cross-platform venv selection, GitLab publication dependency, and full blackbox invocation. The existing POSIX minimal snapshot changes only its platform-neutral prompt wording; Windows owns a separate model-visible snapshot.
Add node24-win-x64 as the only supported Windows runtime target and publish it as a py3-none-win_amd64 wheel containing the conventional dsh and ripgrep .exe payload names. Keep Windows ARM64 rejected explicitly so Python cannot claim a carrier that CI and release automation do not build.
Teach the pkg builder to require a native x64 Windows host, validate both node-pty ConPTY addons, copy @vscode's win32 ripgrep executable, and recognize pkg's .exe output. Extend runtime resolution, wheel staging, payload validation, and the preset closure check so the Windows-specific PowerShell plugins and sidecars fail loud when omitted.
The sidecar resolver now maps a packaged main.exe to main-rg.exe; focused TypeScript and Python tests cover that name, the win_amd64 manifest, x64-only host selection, complete wheel payload, ConPTY inventory, and platform-conditioned plugin closure.
