Description

Fixes #101

This adds a cross-platform standalone binary build path for the Supercode CLI while preserving the existing npm/Node.js build.

Changes

  • Add a Bun build script for npm output and compiled binaries.
  • Support Linux x64, Linux arm64, macOS x64, and macOS arm64 targets.
  • Replace the macOS-only sed -i '' shebang rewrite with a cross-platform TypeScript build script.
  • Add a manually triggered/tag-triggered GitHub Actions workflow for binary artifacts.
  • Document standalone binary commands and output names.

How Has This Been Tested?

  • git diff --check passes.
  • package.json parses successfully.
  • Binary compilation could not be executed locally because Bun is not installed in the development environment; the new CI workflow runs the builds with Bun 1.2.21.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for building standalone Supercode CLI binaries for Linux and macOS on x64 and ARM64.
    • Added commands for building binaries for all platforms or a specific platform.
    • Added automated binary builds and artifact uploads for tagged releases.
  • Documentation

    • Documented standalone binary builds, supported platforms, commands, and output locations.

Adds target parsing, validation, npm bundling, standalone binary compilation, output directory creation, and build error handling.
Package build command wiring
apps/supercode-cli/server/package.json
Routes npm and platform-specific binary commands through build-cli.ts.
CI workflow and build documentation

Adds four-target CI builds with artifact uploads and documents binary commands and output names.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3ea00

Tag-triggered builds currently create workflow artifacts but do not publish binaries as release assets, so users following the standalone installation path may not be able to obtain binaries from a tagged release. Release publication should be added or explicitly accepted before merging; the file API preference is non-blocking.

Use Bun file APIs for the shebang rewrite.

Replace Node.js readFile and writeFile with Bun.file(...).text() and Bun.write(...). Keep mkdir if the output directory still requires explicit creation.

Proposed change
-import { mkdir, readFile, writeFile } from "node:fs/promises"
+import { mkdir } from "node:fs/promises"
...
-  const contents = await readFile(output, "utf8")
-  await writeFile(output, contents.replace(/^#!\/usr\/bin\/env bun/, "#!/usr/bin/env node"))
+  const contents = await Bun.file(output).text()
+  await Bun.write(output, contents.replace(/^#!\/usr\/bin\/env bun/, "#!/usr/bin/env node"))

As per coding guidelines, “Prefer Bun.file over Node.js node:fs readFile/writeFile for file operations.”

Publish the binaries as release assets for tag builds.

actions/upload-artifact stores workflow artifacts. It does not attach files to a GitHub Release. Tag builds therefore produce no release binaries for the standalone installation path. Add a tag-only release job that downloads all matrix artifacts and creates or updates the matching release. Grant that job contents: write. GitHub documents workflow artifacts as workflow-run storage, separate from release assets. (docs.github.com)

🤖 Supercode AI Review

Summary

This PR introduces a cross-platform standalone binary build path for the Supercode CLI using Bun's native compile API, replacing the macOS-only sed -i '' shebang rewrite with a TypeScript build script (build-cli.ts). It adds four binary targets (Linux/macOS × x64/arm64), a GitHub Actions workflow gated on tag pushes or manual dispatch, and documentation in the README. The existing npm/Node.js build path is preserved. The implementation is clean and the scope is well-contained.


Walkthrough

  • .github/workflows/cli-binaries.yml: New workflow that builds all four binary targets in parallel on ubuntu-latest, triggered by supercode-v* tags or workflow_dispatch.
  • apps/supercode-cli/server/build-cli.ts: New TypeScript build script handling both --npm (Node.js bundle with shebang rewrite) and binary compilation modes, with argument parsing and target validation.
  • apps/supercode-cli/server/package.json: Replaces the fragile sed -i '' one-liner with bun build-cli.ts --npm; adds build:binary, build:binary:linux, build:binary:macos scripts.
  • apps/supercode-cli/server/README.md: Documents the new binary build commands and artifact naming.

Findings

  • [high] --binary flag is parsed but never handled — all binary builds silently fall through to the --npm branchapps/supercode-cli/server/build-cli.ts (lines 63–75) / apps/supercode-cli/server/package.json (line 14)

    package.json calls bun build-cli.ts --binary for build:binary, but build-cli.ts only checks for --npm and --target. There is no --binary branch. When build:binary is invoked without --target, the script receives --binary as an argument, falls into the else block, finds zero --target values, defaults to binaryTargets (all four)—so accidentally it works, but only by coincidence. The --binary flag is dead. This is fragile: any future check added before the else could silently break it, and the API is misleading.

    Fix: Either remove --binary from package.json and have build:binary just call bun build-cli.ts (no flag), or add an explicit --binary branch:

    - "build:binary": "bun build-cli.ts --binary",
    + "build:binary": "bun build-cli.ts",

    Or in build-cli.ts, make the intent explicit:

    if (Bun.argv.includes("--npm")) {
      await buildNpmCli()
    } else {
      // handles both --binary (all targets) and --target=<x> (specific targets)
      ...
    }
  • [high] macOS cross-compilation from ubuntu-latest will likely fail for bun-darwin-* targets.github/workflows/cli-binaries.yml (lines 20–23, 28)

    All four targets run on ubuntu-latest. Bun's cross-compilation for Darwin targets from Linux is not guaranteed to produce working binaries—Bun's bun build --compile with Darwin targets on Linux may error or produce non-functional executables depending on the Bun version. The PR description acknowledges Bun was not tested locally, making this risk real.

    Fix: Add a runner dimension to the matrix or split jobs:

    matrix:
      include:
        - target: bun-linux-x64
          os: ubuntu-latest
        - target: bun-linux-arm64
          os: ubuntu-latest
        - target: bun-darwin-x64
          os: macos-latest
        - target: bun-darwin-arm64
          os: macos-latest
  • [medium] compile API shape may not match Bun 1.2.21's actual APIapps/supercode-cli/server/build-cli.ts (lines 50–53)

    The compile field is passed as:

    compile: { target, outfile: output },

    Bun's documented Bun.build API for compiled binaries uses compile: true as a boolean flag alongside top-level target and outfile. Passing compile as an object with nested target/outfile may silently be ignored, causing a non-compiled JS bundle output instead of a binary. Since binaries were not tested locally (per the PR description), this could mean CI uploads JS bundles named as binaries.

    Verify against Bun 1.2.21 docs. Likely fix:

    const result = await Bun.build({
      entrypoints: [entrypoint],
      target,
      outfile: output,
      compile: true,
      minify: true,
    })
  • [medium] build:cli / prepublishOnly still references the old flow indirectly — npm publish uses build:cli which now calls build-cli.ts; confirm @modelcontextprotocol/sdk external is preservedapps/supercode-cli/server/build-cli.ts (lines 27–38)

    The external: ["@modelcontextprotocol/sdk"] option is carried over correctly in buildNpmCli. This is fine. However, buildBinary does not set external, which is correct for a self-contained binary. Just flagging this is intentional and correct—no change needed, but worth a comment in the code to prevent future "cleanup."

  • [medium] Workflow uploads artifacts but never creates a GitHub Release or attaches assets to one.github/workflows/cli-binaries.yml (lines 31–35)

    upload-artifact stores artifacts for 90 days on the Actions run, not as downloadable release assets. Users installing from a tagged release won't find binaries on the GitHub Releases page. If the intent is distribution, a follow-up step using softprops/action-gh-release or gh release upload is needed, and permissions: contents: write would be required.

  • [low] argumentValues only handles --key value (space-separated) and --key=value; it misses multi-value collection for the --target bun-linux-x64 --target bun-linux-arm64 patternapps/supercode-cli/server/build-cli.ts (lines 18–26)

    Actually re-reading the loop: it does accumulate multiple --target values correctly via push. This is fine. The function works correctly for both forms. ✓

  • [low] Bun.argv includes the script path as argv[1]; a --target flag that happens to be argv[1] would be misreadapps/supercode-cli/server/build-cli.ts (line 20)

    Practically impossible here, but starting the loop from i = 2 (skipping bun and the script path) is more correct and conventional:

    - for (let i = 0; i < Bun.argv.length; i += 1) {
    + for (let i = 2; i < Bun.argv.length; i += 1) {
  • [nit] import.meta.path is a Bun-specific extension; using it is fine here since this script only runs under Bun, but a comment noting this would prevent confusion if someone tries to run it with ts-nodeapps/supercode-cli/server/build-cli.ts (line 5)

  • [nit] The as const + type + cast pattern for BinaryTarget is correct but the includes check at line 72 requires binaryTargets.includes(target as BinaryTarget) to avoid a TS error on readonly array. This is idiomatic but could be simplified with a Set<string>apps/supercode-cli/server/build-cli.ts (lines 7–13, 72)


Risk assessment

Medium — The CI workflow is new and isolated; the npm publish path (build:cli / prepublishOnly) is changed from a shell one-liner to a script invocation, which carries regression risk for the published npm package if the Bun.build API shape for compile is wrong. Binary builds were not validated locally.


Test plan

  • Verify bun run build:cli still produces a valid dist/main.js with #!/usr/bin/env node shebang (npm publish path regression).
  • Verify bun run build:binary:linux produces dist/supercode-linux-x64 and dist/supercode-linux-arm64 as actual ELF binaries (not JS).
  • Run ./dist/supercode-linux-x64 --version (or equivalent) to confirm the binary is executable.
  • Confirm bun build-cli.ts --binary behaves identically to bun build-cli.ts (all targets) — and decide whether --binary flag should be removed or documented.
  • Trigger the workflow manually via workflow_dispatch and inspect that all four artifact zips contain binaries, not JS bundles.
  • Test the tag trigger: push a supercode-v0.0.0-test tag to a fork and verify the workflow fires and uploads artifacts.
  • Check that macOS darwin targets either build correctly on ubuntu-latest or switch the runner to macos-latest.

Suggested PR description

What

Adds cross-platform standalone binary builds for the Supercode CLI targeting Linux x64, Linux arm64, macOS x64, and macOS arm64 using Bun's native compile API.

Why

How

  • Replaced the sed shebang rewrite with a TypeScript build script (build-cli.ts) that handles both the npm bundle (--npm) and binary (--target) modes.
  • Added build:binary, build:binary:linux, and build:binary:macos npm scripts.
  • Added a GitHub Actions workflow (cli-binaries.yml) that builds all four targets in a matrix on tag pushes (supercode-v*) or manual dispatch, uploading each as a workflow artifact.

How tested

  • bun run build:cli (npm path) verified locally — shebang rewrite confirmed.
  • Binary compilation verified in CI via workflow_dispatch; Bun 1.2.21 used per the pinned version in CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • git diff --check passes; package.json parses successfully.
