A desktop client reading /api/software had no way to learn that a title costs
money. There was nothing in the response to say so, no way to sign in, and no
way to be told "you do not own this" — so a store with paid titles could only
hand the client a 403 at download time and let it guess why.
The fix belongs here rather than in the client. A client serves more than one
store, so anything it knows about a particular one has to arrive from that
store's own API; a rule compiled into the client is a rule that breaks every
other catalog it reads. Three seams, each following the storage adapter's
shape — documented contract, default that is byte for byte the old behaviour,
one config key to replace it:
- **access policy** — visible_software_scope / access_for / authorize_download.
Every catalog entry now carries an `access` block (gated, entitled, price,
purchaseUrl, webUrl) and both /api/download and /file/* ask before serving.
The vocabulary is deliberately generic: a word from one host's domain would
make every client that reads it specific to that host.
- **client sign-in** — the device authorization grant (RFC 8628), over the
host's own user model. The approval page stays the host's, because approving
needs a session and HTML. Tokens are ApplicationTokens with a `catalog`
scope, so publishing and reading stay separable.
- **service descriptor** — GET /api/service says what this deployment is and
whether it has a sign-in at all, which is how a client stops guessing.
With no policy and no subject class configured — every deployment today — the
API is unchanged: /api/auth/* answers 404, /api/service reports auth: null, and
the 187 pre-existing examples pass untouched.
A policy that raises is treated as a refusal, not permission. An artifact
served because the gatekeeper crashed is the one failure mode this must not
have, so a broken policy empties the catalog and denies the download.

`ActiveAdmin.register WarpEngine::Pipeline` declared no `permit_params`, so every edit
handed unpermitted attributes to the model and Rails raised ForbiddenAttributesError. That
is not new: the form has been unable to save for as long as it has existed. My flash
message on `update` sat at the top of the traceback and made it look like the cause, which
it was not — and it is gone anyway, because overriding an ActiveAdmin action to say
something is a poor trade for what it can break. The move is written to the log instead.
Adding a spec that would have caught it, in the host app, because that is where the
ActiveAdmin instance lives: it signs in, PUTs the form, and checks both that the record
saves and that the software link moves off the pipeline that had it. Driven the same way
by hand against the development database first — 302, the link moved, the previous holder
left without one.
The engine's other admin resources were checked for the same omission: downloads and
releases are read-only and the file manager posts to its own routes, so pipelines was the
only one affected.

The version header was set from WarpEngine::VERSION_HEADER, a constant introduced in the
same commit. The deploy that followed ran these controllers with an older `lib/`, so the
before_action raised NameError on every request and every engine endpoint answered 500 —
the catalog, the images, the file server and the config extension Woodpecker calls, which
is how it surfaced: a pipeline could no longer fetch its own configuration.
The controller now spells the header name out. A response header is not worth a dependency
that can take the API down when one half of a deploy is older than the other, and the
constant remains the documented name with a spec holding the two in step.
Confirmed in production mode against the same code that failed: 200 with the header.

Every WarpEngine API response now carries `WarpEngine-Version`, so a client can branch on
the engine's age without a round trip to ask. Set in a before_action rather than after:
`rescue_from` never reaches an after_action, and a client needs the version most when
something came back wrong. The name lives in `WarpEngine::VERSION_HEADER`. The host's own
endpoints — the store registry — do not carry it, because they are not the engine.
A software has one pipeline, and the newest assignment now wins. Two pipelines pointing at
the same software was not an error the database caught; it was a link that silently did
nothing, with the software still showing whichever row came first. Assigning a software
another pipeline holds therefore moves it, the admin says which pipeline it was taken
from, and `Pipeline#software_taken_from` carries that for anything else that cares.
Deliberately a callback and not a unique index: rows here are soft-deleted, and a unique
index counts deleted rows, so a pipeline removed last year would block its software from
ever being linked again.
The engine is 0.4.0. The site's /stores page and its screenshot follow the client's new
name, and the shot is a fresh one showing the greyed-out titles the client now lists.

The step assumed one project shape: plain sources concatenated with cat
and Phaser pulled from a CDN. trickster-tiles is the other shape — Vite
plus TypeScript, built with `tsc && vite build` — so `cat src/*.js`
found nothing to bundle and the build failed. The earlier guard on the
syntax check fixed only the first symptom of that mismatch.
A project with a build script now runs npm ci && npm run build and is
packaged from its own dist/, which already contains index.html and the
hashed assets. Plain projects keep the existing path untouched.
The bundler's base has to be relative, since games are served out of
/file/<name>-<version>/; the step fails loudly if the build leaves no
dist/index.html rather than shipping an empty zip.
Verified in the phaser-builder image against trickster-tiles: a 344 kB
package with index.html at the root and ./assets/ references.

Batocera and the ES-family distributions run on ARM as much as on
x86_64 — Raspberry Pi, Odroid, the retro handhelds — and a linux_x64
binary installs there but will not start. There was no Linux ARM asset
kind at all: KINDS had linux_x86 and linux_x64 and mac_arm64, but
nothing for 64-bit ARM Linux.
Registering the kind is deliberately separate from producing it: a
platform service only includes BuildLinuxArm64 once its pipeline builds
the artifact, otherwise /api/builds would report it missing for every
release. Hence Ebitengine and Bevy only. Godot needs a Linux arm64
export preset in each game repo first; LÖVE fuses an upstream AppImage
that ships x86_64 only; TIC-80's export command has no ARM target.
Ebitengine needs cgo on Linux, so binary_build gained a cross-compiler
argument — and unsets CC for native targets, otherwise a build after
the ARM one silently picks up the cross gcc.
Verified by cross-compiling both demos in the rebuilt images: each
produced a genuine AArch64 ELF (e_machine 183), not a silent fallback.

Two seams the hosts needed, both backward compatible.
Storage: artifacts are served through WarpEngine::Storage.adapter instead of
raw filesystem calls. The default :local adapter keeps the previous behaviour
byte for byte, including the path traversal guard. A host can now set
config.storage_adapter to any object answering file?/directory?/locate and
serve builds from an object store - FileService and /api/download both honour
a Location.redirect, so a signing adapter turns them into redirects.
DownloadService#create still returns an absolute path (nil when missing) for
existing callers; #locate is the new entry point that can also return a
redirect. Ingestion (upload, extraction, file manager) stays local for now.
Publish: PublishService emits ActiveSupport::Notifications
("warp_engine.publish") with platform/name/version/software/release, so hosts
can react to a new build without hanging callbacks on the models.
WarpEngine.instruments_publish? lets a host feature-detect and keep its
fallback for older engine versions.
- the 7 catalog admin files (softwares, releases, external_links,
platform_links, images, files page, downloads) move to the engine's
app/admin; the host ActiveAdmin instance loads them via
ActiveAdmin.application.load_paths (single admin, URLs unchanged)
- engine initializers: Zeitwerk ignore for app/admin (production eager load)
and load_paths + watchable_dirs registration, guarded by defined?(ActiveAdmin)
so the admin-less dummy app boots
- images admin reads image owners from WarpEngine.config.image_owners; the
host registers the Member owner in config/initializers/warp_engine.rb;
the interim ImageUsage registry is gone
- fix: SoftwareImage.distinct.pluck clashed with its order(:position)
default scope on MySQL (unscope(:order)) — introduced in phase 0, caught
by the first authenticated /admin/images smoke test
- files page: download links use the public /file/ URL instead of the raw
container path; the picker's stored path comes from config
Verified: both suites green, zeitwerk:check (production) clean, JSON
baselines intact, authenticated admin smoke test on every page incl.
the 3-level nested software form and Files picker mode.

- update, files and the 6 /api catalog controllers now live in the engine on
a new WarpEngine::ApiController base (same rescue/mime behavior as host)
- engine routes serve /update, /file/*path, /api/software*, /api/builds*,
/api/image/:id, /api/download at unchanged public paths via the root mount;
host routes keep only TTG endpoints (events, members, wiki, rss, swagger)
- /update secret comes from WarpEngine.config.update_secret and an
unconfigured secret now rejects every request (previously an empty
UPDATE_SECRET env accepted empty secrets)
- apipie-rails is an engine dependency (DSL in engine controllers); dummy app
configures apipie with validation off, mirroring the host
- engine request specs: catalog controller specs moved from host plus new
/update auth contract spec
Verified: engine suite 53 green, host suite 6 green, /api/software and
/api/builds byte-identical to baselines, /update 401/400 behavior intact,
admin and TTG endpoints OK.

- all catalog services (update/software/highlighted/builds/file/file-manager/
download/image + SoftwareResponseBuilder), the SoftwareUpdater platform
services and their concerns, Blueprinter serializers (incl. TimestampFields)
and the 4 DTOs now live in the engine under WarpEngine::
- constantize dispatch strings use absolute names
(WarpEngine::SoftwareUpdater::<Platform>Service)
- container paths read from WarpEngine.config everywhere (FileService,
DownloadService, FileManagerService, ArchiveExtraction, ReleaseSerializer
path rewriting); FileManagerService base path is now lazy
- engine requires blueprinter itself; gemspec declares blueprinter + rubyzip
- engine test suite: spec/dummy app (mysql warp_engine_test, catalog-only
schema), rails_helper with engine-local factories; catalog model/service
specs and factories moved from the host
- host suite keeps TTG specs and loads catalog factories from the engine
Verified: engine suite 40 green, host suite 14 green, /api/software and
/api/builds byte-identical to baselines, admin OK.

- Software, Release, ReleaseAsset, ExternalLink, PlatformLink, Image,
SoftwareImage, Download now live in the engine under WarpEngine::, on top
of WarpEngine::ApplicationRecord; table names unchanged (empty prefix)
- each model runs an ActiveSupport load hook (:warp_engine_<model>) as a
host extension point
- WarpEngine::Image reads its upload path from WarpEngine.config
- host references fully qualified (services, serializers, admin, specs);
admin registrations renamed with as: so /admin URLs and route helpers are
byte-identical; factories pinned to the namespaced classes
- Member#image now class_name: "WarpEngine::Image"
Verified: full suite green, /api/software and /api/builds byte-identical to
the phase-0 baselines, admin routes unchanged.
