Tests already run on every PR across all platforms (required check), so the release workflow no longer re-runs them.

After building, node_modules is reinstalled with pnpm using forceIgnoresPlatform, which installs production deps only and includes the native bindings of all platforms (e.g. @node-usb/*) without a hardcoded package list. Tarball node_modules shrinks from ~197M to ~87M.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated the release packaging process to configure production dependencies for supported platforms. This behind-the-scenes change does not add or remove user-facing features, and no changes to app behavior are noted.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow removes the explicit USB platform binding installation. After integration tests, it sets up pnpm, imports the npm lockfile, and installs production dependencies before packaging.

Changes

Release workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Production dependency installation .github/workflows/release.yml	The workflow removes explicit USB platform binding installs. After integration tests, it sets up pnpm, removes node_modules, imports the npm lockfile, and installs production dependencies with a frozen lockfile, forced platform-ignore handling, and a hoisted node linker.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e0b57

The production dependency replacement has no established blocking defect and is mergeable subject to normal release checks. The final archive layout and binding contents have not been independently verified.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e0b57

The change does not visibly increase release permissions or expose new secrets. Risk is low, but the final dependency bundle’s cross-platform completeness and recovery behavior have not been fully verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — A provisioning defect or compromised release dependency could affect consumers of the shared release archive across its supported platforms. The observed scope is the release job and distributed application bundle, not a demonstrated expansion of tenant, infrastructure or data-store authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The new pnpm setup action and package-manager installation become trusted inputs to the existing release pipeline. The configured pnpm version is a range, while dependency installation uses an imported frozen lockfile. Frozen resolution constrains dependency selection but does not attest archive contents or external action behavior.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Before publication, verify that the archive is self-contained and includes the required platform bindings and usable production native modules. This would validate the dependency-tree transition without assuming that the earlier tests covered the packaged result.
• proposed — Pin the newly introduced setup action to an immutable revision and select an exact validated pnpm version to reduce provisioning drift between releases.
