catalogue: publish Smol Machines (io.pilot.smolmachines v1.2.0) [needs re-sign]#319
Merged
Conversation
Publishes Smol Machines (the smolvm microVM engine) to the app store: - catalogue entry with per-platform bundles hosted in the Pilot R2 artifact registry (pilot-artifacts-prod), and the rich metadata.json (long description_md, methods, sizes). - short description → `appstore list`; long description_md → `appstore view`.⚠️ catalogue.json changed, so catalogue/catalogue.json.sig MUST be regenerated with the release CATALOG_SIGN_KEY before merge (the embedded catalogtrust pubkey check rejects an unsigned/stale catalogue on every host). The private key is not committed — only the release pipeline / key-holder can sign. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Publish Smol Machines (
io.pilot.smolmachinesv1.2.0)Adds the catalogue entry + rich metadata that lists Smol Machines (the smolvm
microVM engine) in the app store. Bundles are hosted in the Pilot R2 artifact
registry (
pilot-artifacts-prod); all four platforms (darwin/linux × amd64/arm64).catalogue/catalogue.json— entry appended (existing 3 apps untouched). Shortdescription →
pilotctl appstore list.catalogue/apps/io.pilot.smolmachines/metadata.json— longdescription_md→pilotctl appstore view; passthroughsmolmachines.execwith the full smolvmcommand surface baked into its help (no enumerated methods).
Verified locally end-to-end: catalogue →
pilotctl appstore install io.pilot.smolmachines→ adapter stages the binary from R2 →
pilotctl appstore call ... smolmachines.execboots a real Alpine microVM.
⛔ Blocking: re-sign before merge (needs the release key)
catalogue.jsonchanged, socatalogue/catalogue.json.sigis now stale. pilotctland the daemon verify the detached signature against the embedded catalogue
public key (
internal/catalogtrust), so an unsigned/stale catalogue is rejected onevery host. The private key is not in the repo (confirmed — it's the
CATALOG_SIGN_KEYrelease secret / offline key). A key-holder must regenerate thesignature before merge:
(Or drive it through the app-template
publish-on-mergeautomation, which signs withthe
CATALOG_SIGN_KEYsecret.)Depends on
The app only installs/runs once the daemon is on the proc.exec version with the
install-spec + trust-anchor wiring: app-store#24, pilotprotocol#317, pilotprotocol#318.
The listing itself (this PR) is independent.
