What changed

Each release now ships cortex-gateway as a standalone tarball for darwin/arm64, linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. The binary needs no system library.

• scripts/build-gateway.sh builds the release binary on the host that runs it. On macOS it builds natively. In rust:alpine it builds a static musl binary.
• scripts/check-gateway-linkage.sh checks the binary. A Linux binary must have no NEEDED entry. A macOS binary must link only /usr/lib/ and /System/Library/ libraries. The binary must print cortex-gateway <version>.
• scripts/check-gateway-linkage_test.sh tests the check with stub tools. The new CI job gateway-linkage-script in ci.yaml runs it.
• release-binaries.yaml has a new build-gateway matrix job. A gateway failure does not block the Go release. publish then shows a warning. A build or build-cpex failure still blocks the release.
• praxis-latest.yaml is a new weekly workflow. It builds against the newest Praxis release from crates.io. When it fails, it opens or comments on one issue.
• praxis/README.md and .github/CLAUDE.md describe the release build.

Two changes from review:

• build-gateway has continue-on-error: true. Without it, a failed gateway leg makes the run fail, and release-smoke-linux.yaml then does not run for that release.
• The body of a new weekly issue no longer says that the pinned Praxis release still builds. Nothing checks this.

Four changes from the plan's T1 Step 5. The builds found each problem, and each change has a one-line comment that gives the reason:

• cmake in apk.
• --no-self-update for rustup.
• PATH set to dirname $(rustup which cargo).
• rm -f before cp, so that the build does not keep an old binary.

How it was tested

• sh scripts/check-gateway-linkage_test.sh: all cases pass.
• shellcheck --severity=error on the three scripts, and yamllint on the workflows.
• Static musl build in rust:1.96.0-alpine with podman. The check passed, and the binary ran in distroless/static-debian12.
• macOS build on darwin/arm64. otool -L lists only system libraries.
• The full gate passed on the branch tip.

Still to do after merge: a workflow_dispatch dry run of release-binaries.yaml and of praxis-latest.yaml. Nothing tests the new publish if:, the gateway-warning path or the weekly report job on GitHub before then. I read the publish if: against the plan's Review Focus 1 and 2:

• All gateway legs fail: publish runs and shows a warning.
• build-cpex fails: publish does not run.
• version is skipped: build is skipped, so publish does not run.

Size

• Counted: 462 lines (added + removed).
• Exempt: 188 lines (the plan document).

Review findings not fixed

All are minor.

• check-gateway-linkage.sh has three branches that no test reaches: readelf -d exits 0 but prints nothing, otool prints nothing, and an unsupported OS. test_readelf_error_fails stubs only exit 1. A case that stubs readelf 0 "" would cover the first.
• build-gateway.sh does not refuse a Linux host that is not musl. On a glibc host it builds x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu with +crt-static. That build can fail, or it can make a static glibc binary that passes the check. A guard such as case ${triple} in *-linux-musl) ;; *-linux-*) die ;; esac would make it fail fast.
• praxis-latest.yaml reads only .crate.max_stable_version of praxis-proxy and writes that version into the praxis-proxy-filter pin too. If the two crates release on different schedules, the weekly job fails and reports a false break. Plan decision 14 asks for this behavior. The fix is to read each crate's version separately. The workflow has no comment that tells this to the person who reads the issue.
• The ci.yaml row in .github/CLAUDE.md does not list the new gateway-linkage-script job (check-gateway-linkage.sh tests).

Fixes #1723

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Releases can include standalone cortex-gateway binaries for macOS arm64 and Linux amd64/arm64. These downloads are optional; a missing gateway binary does not block publication of a release.
• Documentation
  • Added instructions for building the gateway locally or in a Linux container, including output location and linkage checks.
  • Clarified OpenSSL update handling and that the gateway binary makes no FIPS claim.

Walkthrough

The PR adds scripts and CI checks for building and validating cortex-gateway, adds optional gateway tarballs to the release workflow, and adds a weekly and manually triggered workflow that tests the latest stable Praxis release and reports failures through a GitHub issue.

Changes: Gateway build and release

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build and verify the gateway .github/workflows/ci.yaml, praxis/README.md, scripts/build-gateway.sh, scripts/check-gateway-linkage.sh, scripts/check-gateway-linkage_test.sh, docs/superpowers/plans/...	Adds a host-specific release build script and a checker for platform linkage and exact version output. Shell tests cover Linux and macOS cases, and CI runs those tests. The README documents local and container builds, and the plan records build and verification requirements.
Package and publish gateway artifacts .github/CLAUDE.md, .github/workflows/release-binaries.yaml, docs/superpowers/plans/...	Adds macOS arm64 and Linux amd64/arm64 gateway build legs, packages available tarballs, and allows publishing when gateway builds fail if the required builds succeed. Missing gateway tarballs produce warnings, and release notes include gateway instructions only when a tarball exists.
Test the latest Praxis release .github/CLAUDE.md, .github/workflows/praxis-latest.yaml, docs/superpowers/plans/...	Adds a weekly and manual workflow that validates the latest stable praxis-proxy version, updates Praxis pins, runs locked tests and a static release build, and comments on or creates an issue after failure.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

For #1723, the build script and release workflow provide the three platform builds, static Linux linkage checks, and optional gateway builds; praxis-latest.yaml runs a non-blocking weekly build and reports failures. However, #1723 says no release may ship a gateway tarball before the MCP and A2A ports (#1724). release-binaries.yaml triggers on release tags and main, and its gateway build is enabled without a prerequisite gate. The current workflow can therefore publish gateway tarballs before that condition is met.

Resolution

Add a release gate that prevents gateway tarball publication until the MCP and A2A ports are complete, or enable gateway publication only after that prerequisite is complete.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 3 files. (6 skipped: 6 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Update the plan: the apk add list is out of date.

Line 114 lists musl-dev perl make linux-headers binutils. The real script at scripts/build-gateway.sh line 17 also installs cmake (for libz-ng-sys). A reader who follows the plan builds a script that fails on Alpine. Add cmake to the plan and give its reason.

Summary

This is a clean, well-tested release path. I checked the new publish if: against the plan's Review Focus 1 and 2. If every gateway leg fails, continue-on-error keeps the run green, so release-smoke-linux.yaml still fires, and publish runs and warns. If build-cpex fails, publish is skipped. If version is skipped, build is skipped, so publish does not run. The per-platform optionality matches require_praxis_build in scripts/install.sh, which checks cortex-gateway_<ver>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz in checksums.txt. The supervisor's version gate in cmd/cortex/supervise.go takes the last word of --version, and check-gateway-linkage.sh pins exactly cortex-gateway <ver> through CORTEX_VERSION. All three pinned image digests (rust:1.96.0-alpine, alpine:3.22, distroless/static-debian12) are multi-arch indexes with linux/arm64, so the ubuntu-24.04-arm leg resolves. sh scripts/check-gateway-linkage_test.sh passes locally (6/6). I also ran the weekly job's sed and pin check on a copy: it moves all three pins, and it fails when one pin is left behind. When the issue search finds nothing, its --jq '.[0].number' gives an empty string, so the create branch runs. I have one suggestion about the Dependabot claim in the README. The four minor findings you listed in the PR body are fair as follow-ups, and I don't repeat them here.

suggestion: "Dependabot proposes it" may not hold as configured. openssl-src is a transitive dependency (openssl (vendored) → openssl-sys → openssl-src). The cargo entry for /praxis in .github/dependabot.yml has no allow, and Dependabot version updates cover by default only the dependencies a manifest names directly, so they will not bump openssl-src on their own. Only Dependabot security updates (a repo setting I can't see from here) would open the bump after an OpenSSL advisory. Since this line is how the PR takes on the OpenSSL CVE duty from #1723, either point it at security updates (and confirm they are on), or add an allow to the cargo entry that keeps direct dependencies and adds openssl-src, e.g. allow: [{dependency-type: direct}, {dependency-name: openssl-src}].

[huang195]

Fixed in cf14f58. The /praxis cargo entry in .github/dependabot.yml now has an allow list: dependency-type: direct, and openssl-src with dependency-type: indirect. I put dependency-type: indirect on the openssl-src entry because the Dependabot docs describe transitive coverage only under indirect or all. They do not say that a name match alone reaches a transitive crate. I also checked that security updates are off for this repo (automated-security-fixes gives enabled: false), so before this change nothing opened the bump. The README line is now correct as written.

Summary

This is a clean, well-scoped release path for cortex-gateway. I checked it by building, not only by reading. I ran scripts/build-gateway.sh at cf14f58 in the pinned rust:1.96.0-alpine image on linux/amd64. It finished in 11 min on 4 cores, and the linkage check passed. The binary is static-pie linked, and --version printed the stamped version on the glibc host, in the pinned alpine:3.22, and in the pinned distroless/static-debian12. I also ran it in distroless as a non-root user with the test config template. It answered 403 without the token and proxied to the origin with it (200). So the stated goal holds for linux/amd64. I could not build linux/arm64 here (no emulation). Your podman build on Apple Silicon runs an arm64 VM, so it covers that leg. I checked that the JEMALLOC_SYS_WITH_LG_PAGE env name matches tikv-jemalloc-sys 0.7.1's build.rs, and that all three pinned image digests are multi-arch indexes with linux/arm64.

Other checks:

• publish if:: !cancelled() && build == success && build-cpex == success. Job-level continue-on-error keeps the run green for release-smoke-linux.yaml. Review Focus 1 and 2 hold as described.
• Weekly job: I ran the pin sed on scratch copies (3 pins moved, verification loop passed). I fed .crate.max_stable_version null, a number, an object, an array and a missing key. Each one fails closed at the regex or at jq. A multi-line string passes the per-line grep, but the sed that follows then fails, so it still fails closed.
• gh issue list ... --jq '.[0].number' gives an empty string when nothing matches, so the create branch is reached.
• Dependabot: indirect is supported for cargo, and direct keeps today's default scope.
• sh scripts/check-gateway-linkage_test.sh: 6/6 pass locally.

One suggestion is inline (install-stats counting). The minor items in your "not fixed" list look right to me as follow-ups.

[clawgenti]

suggestion: The gateway tarball changes the install statistics. scripts/collect-install-stats.sh platform_of puts every asset name that contains linux_amd64 (and the other platforms) into a platform bucket, so cortex-gateway_<tag>_linux_amd64.tar.gz counts as a linux tarball. docs/install-stats/index.html then halves the platform sum with perInstall = 2 (cortex + agentop). An install.sh --praxis install downloads three tarballs of one platform, so each praxis install counts as 1.5 in the Linux/Mac columns, and the CI subtraction on Linux mixes the two scales. It is not a blocker. A follow-up could give cortex-gateway_* its own bucket in platform_of (checked before the platform tests), or at least note this next to perInstall.
