The desktop workflow claims all three platforms are stripped, but only macOS
and Windows had a strip step and the Windows one scrubbed the process PATH
only. Both gaps let a bundle that needs a developer toolchain pass the one
workflow whose premise is that it must not.
Linux: the job ignored strip_toolchain entirely and ran the bundled install.sh
with the runner's git, gcc, cmake and make in /usr/bin. clean-machine-env.sh
now has a Linux --remove branch that moves the resolved tool binaries aside,
recorded in restore.sh, and the job calls it plus `assert absent` after the apt
step (the .deb install needs dpkg) and before the bundled installer, with a
restore step to match macOS. The loop repeats per tool so a name present in
both /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin is fully masked rather than half masked.
Windows: rewriting $env:PATH does not survive the bundled install.ps1, which
calls Refresh-SessionPath (318-337) and rebuilds $env:Path from the Machine and
User registry values, and py.exe in C:\Windows reaches the toolcache whatever
PATH says. Ported the on-disk toolcache rename, the Machine/User registry scrub
and the py -3.11/-3.12/-3.13 start probe from clean-machine-install-ci.yml, so
the strip is proven rather than assumed.
Windows preflight: the log step was Test-Path, Get-Content and Select-String,
none of which can fail, so an app that hangs before preflight passed on the
90 second liveness check alone. It now asserts a tauri.log exists and carries a
`desktop_preflight completed disposition=` line, the same unconstrained check
macOS and Linux already make. The disposition VALUE is deliberately not
constrained: ManagedReady over an unbootable venv is the reported bug.
installer_source on macOS: only the pipe delivery branched on it, so a
`published` dispatch ran the checked-out script on six of the eight macOS rows
while the run was labelled published. The script is now resolved once at the
top of the Install step and used by the file and tauri deliveries; pipe still
re-fetches through the live transport, because that is half of what it tests.
Linux, WSL and Windows already honoured the input.
Also shortened the comments across the changed files, keeping the reasoning
that says why each check exists.
