# Phase 3.3: Forgejo CI/CD Pipeline - Implementation Summary

**Date**: January 28, 2026  
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETE (Implementation) | ⏳ PENDING (Runner Setup)

---

## What Was Implemented

### 1. Forgejo Actions Workflow (`.forgejo/workflows/build.yml`)

A comprehensive CI/CD pipeline that:

**On Tag Push** (e.g., `git tag -a v1.0.0 && git push upstream v1.0.0`):
1. Builds Windows executable (windows-latest runner)
2. Builds macOS DMG (macos-latest runner)  
3. Generates SHA256 checksums
4. Creates release on Forgejo
5. Uploads all artifacts to release

**Key Features:**
- Parallel builds for Windows and macOS
- Automatic checksum generation for integrity verification
- Professional release notes with installation instructions
- Integration hooks for UpdateManager (Phase 4.1)
- Manual trigger option via "Run workflow" button

**Jobs:**

| Job | Platform | Artifacts |
|-----|----------|-----------|
| `build-windows` | windows-latest | WebDropBridge.exe + SHA256 |
| `build-macos` | macos-latest | WebDropBridge.dmg + SHA256 |
| `release` | ubuntu-latest | Combined release on Forgejo |

### 2. Setup Documentation (`FORGEJO_CI_CD_SETUP.md`)

Complete guide including:
- **Architecture diagram** showing workflow
- **Runner setup** for Windows and macOS
- **Secret configuration** (GITEA_TOKEN)
- **Workflow details** and job descriptions
- **Manual trigger** instructions
- **Verification procedures** (SHA256 checksums)
- **Troubleshooting** tips
- **Integration** with auto-update system

### 3. Version Tracking (`CHANGELOG.md`)

Professional changelog following "Keep a Changelog" format:
- **Version 1.0.0** (2026-01-28) - Initial release
  - All Phase 1 & 2 features documented
  - Build system details
  - Testing and quality metrics
- **Unreleased** - Planned Phase 4 features
- **Version numbering** guide
- **Release process** documentation

### 4. Development Plan Update (`DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md`)

New section **Phase 3.3** documenting:
- Workflow file structure and location
- Forgejo releases as central hub
- Release artifact locations
- Usage instructions
- Setup requirements
- Acceptance criteria

---

## How It Works

### Release Process

```
1. Developer creates tag locally
   git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release version 1.0.0"
   
2. Push tag to Forgejo
   git push upstream v1.0.0
   
3. Forgejo Actions triggers automatically:
   ├─ Checkout code
   ├─ Run Windows build job
   │  ├─ Setup Python 3.13
   │  ├─ Run pytest
   │  ├─ Build with PyInstaller
   │  └─ Generate SHA256 checksum
   ├─ Run macOS build job (parallel)
   │  ├─ Setup Python 3.13
   │  ├─ Run pytest
   │  ├─ Build DMG with create-dmg
   │  └─ Generate SHA256 checksum
   └─ Release job (waits for both)
      ├─ Create Forgejo release
      ├─ Upload artifacts
      └─ Generate release notes
      
4. Release appears on:
   https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/v1.0.0
   
5. Users can download:
   ├─ WebDropBridge.exe (Windows)
   ├─ WebDropBridge.dmg (macOS)
   └─ SHA256 checksums (verify integrity)
```

### Distribution Hub

All builds and updates are centralized on Forgejo:

```
https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/
├─ Code repository (main branch)
├─ Releases (v1.0.0, v1.0.1, v1.1.0, ...)
│  ├─ WebDropBridge.exe + SHA256
│  ├─ WebDropBridge.dmg + SHA256
│  └─ Release notes (features, fixes, upgrade guide)
├─ API endpoint for auto-updates
│  └─ /api/v1/repos/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/latest
└─ CI/CD logs (build details, errors)
```

---

## What's Next (Runner Setup)

To activate the CI/CD pipeline, you need to:

### Step 1: Set Up Forgejo Runners

**Windows Runner** (on Windows machine):
```powershell
# Install and register runner
.\forgejo-runner.exe register --no-interactive \
  --forgejo-instance-url https://git.him-tools.de \
  --registration-token <TOKEN> \
  --runner-name windows-runner \
  --labels windows,powershell

# Start daemon
.\forgejo-runner.exe daemon
```

**macOS Runner** (on macOS machine):
```bash
# Install and register runner
./act_runner register --no-interactive \
  --forgejo-instance-url https://git.him-tools.de \
  --registration-token <TOKEN> \
  --runner-name macos-runner \
  --labels macos

# Start daemon
./act_runner daemon
```

### Step 2: Configure Secret

In Forgejo repo settings:
1. Go to: Settings → Secrets
2. Create new secret: `GITEA_TOKEN`
3. Value: Personal access token with `api` + `write:repository` scopes

### Step 3: Test Release

```bash
# Create test tag
git tag v0.0.1
git push upstream v0.0.1

# Monitor:
# https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/actions
```

## Integration Points

### With Phase 4.1 (Auto-Update System)

The UpdateManager will:
1. Query: `https://git.him-tools.de/api/v1/repos/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/latest`
2. Compare versions using semantic versioning
3. Download installer from release assets
4. Verify checksum before installation
5. Execute installer and restart app

**Example API Response:**
```json
{
  "tag_name": "v1.0.1",
  "name": "Release v1.0.1",
  "body": "Bug fixes and improvements",
  "assets": [
    {"name": "WebDropBridge.exe", "browser_download_url": "..."},
    {"name": "WebDropBridge.exe.sha256", "browser_download_url": "..."}
  ]
}
```

### User Experience

1. User opens app
2. Menu → "Check for Updates"
3. UpdateManager queries Forgejo API
4. If newer version available:
   - Shows upgrade dialog
   - Downloads from Forgejo release
   - Verifies checksum
   - Installs automatically
   - Restarts app with new version
