Summary

Implements complete macOS code signing, notarization, and Homebrew automation pipeline for Issue #375.

Closes #375

Changes

🔐 Phase B: Code Signing Pipeline

New Workflow Job: sign-and-notarize-macos

  • Imports Developer ID Application certificate from 1Password
  • Signs universal macOS binaries with hardened runtime (--options runtime)
  • Submits to Apple notarization service
  • Waits for Apple approval (~2-10 minutes)
  • Verifies signatures with codesign --verify and spctl --assess

New Script: scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh

  • Reusable signing script for CI and local testing
  • Creates temporary keychain for certificate import
  • Handles base64-encoded certificates from 1Password
  • Cleans up temporary files automatically

Credentials Setup:

  • Apple Developer Program enrollment complete (Team ID: VZFZ9NJKMK)
  • Developer ID Application certificate stored in 1Password
  • App-specific password for notarization stored securely
  • All credentials loaded with --no-newline flag to avoid issues

📦 Phase C: Homebrew Automation

GitHub PAT Configuration:

  • Created homebrew-tap-token with repo scope
  • Stored securely in 1Password TerraphimPlatform vault
  • Verified working with GitHub API

Workflow Integration:

  • Existing update-homebrew job already configured
  • Automatically updates terraphim/homebrew-terraphim repository
  • Updates formulas with new versions and SHA256 checksums
  • Commits and pushes with automation message

README Updates:

  • Added Homebrew badge to badges section
  • Added Homebrew installation instructions (Option 2 in quick start)
  • Updated package managers section with signed & notarized note

📝 Phase D: Documentation & Cleanup

Documentation:

  • Created comprehensive docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md (252 lines)
  • Covers release types, prerequisites, workflow jobs, testing, troubleshooting
  • Includes rollback procedures and security notes

Cleanup:

  • Archived old homebrew-formulas/homebrew-formulas.deprecated/
  • Added deprecation notice with link to new tap

Testing

✅ Local Signing Test

Successfully tested signing script locally:

export RUNNER_TEMP=/tmp/signing-test
./scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh \
  "target/release/terraphim_server" \
  "$(op read '...')" # credentials from 1Password

Results:

  • ✅ Certificate imported successfully
  • ✅ Binary signed with Developer ID Application
  • ✅ Signature verified (codesign --verify --deep --strict)
  • ✅ Submitted for notarization (ID: 62db1c4a-1d8a-4b48-bda8-baaa5abe2af9)
  • ✅ Binary satisfies Designated Requirement

✅ GitHub PAT Test

TOKEN=$(op read "op://TerraphimPlatform/homebrew-tap-token/token" --no-newline)
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" https://api.github.com/user | jq -r '.login'
# Output: AlexMikhalev ✅

Workflow Changes

  build-binaries (matrix: 8 targets)

+ sign-and-notarize-macos  ← NEW JOB
+   ├── Import certificate from 1Password
+   ├── Sign with codesign --options runtime
+   ├── Submit to Apple notarization service
+   └── Verify signature and Gatekeeper acceptance
    ↓
  create-release
-   needs: [build-binaries, create-universal-macos, ...]
+   needs: [build-binaries, sign-and-notarize-macos, ...]
    └── Uses signed binaries in GitHub Release
    ↓
  update-homebrew
    └── Updates terraphim/homebrew-terraphim with checksums

Installation After Merge

Users will be able to install via Homebrew:

# Add Terraphim tap
brew tap terraphim/terraphim

# Install server (signed & notarized)
brew install terraphim-server

# Install TUI/REPL (signed & notarized)
brew install terraphim-agent

Manual Verification Commands

After next release, verify:

# Test installation
brew tap terraphim/terraphim
brew install terraphim-server

# Verify signature
codesign --verify --deep --strict $(which terraphim_server)

# Verify Gatekeeper acceptance (should not prompt)
spctl --assess --type execute $(which terraphim_server)

# Verify universal binary
file $(which terraphim_server)
# Expected: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64]

Previously the MCP tool was a placeholder that only found matched terms
without actually checking graph connectivity. Now it:

- Gets RoleGraphSync directly from config_state.roles
- Calls the real RoleGraph::is_all_terms_connected_by_path() method
- Returns detailed connectivity results with matched term names
- Provides semantic interpretation (connected = coherent, not connected = unrelated)

Also updates tests to use correct "text" parameter instead of "terms" array.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add two new CLI subcommands for knowledge graph validation:

- `validate --connectivity`: Check if matched terms are connected by
  a single path in the knowledge graph. Useful for pre-LLM semantic
  coherence validation.

- `suggest --fuzzy`: Fuzzy autocomplete suggestions when exact matches
  aren't found. Uses Jaro-Winkler similarity with configurable threshold.

Both commands support:
- `--role` flag for role-specific knowledge graph
- `--json` flag for machine-readable output
- stdin input when text/query not provided

Part of Phase B implementing local-first KG validation workflows.

Add checklist validation mode to the validate command:

- `validate --checklist code_review "text"` - validates against code
  review checklist (tests, documentation, error handling, security,
  performance)

- `validate --checklist security "text"` - validates against security
  checklist (authentication, authorization, input validation,
  encryption, logging)

Checklist definitions stored in docs/src/kg/checklists/ for future
dynamic loading from knowledge graph files.

Usage:
  terraphim-agent validate --checklist code_review "Added tests and docs"
  terraphim-agent validate --checklist security --json "Auth with SSL"

Code Review: macOS Code Signing and Homebrew Automation

Summary

This PR implements a complete macOS code signing, notarization, and Homebrew automation pipeline. The implementation is well-structured with comprehensive documentation. I have identified several areas for improvement around security, error handling, and maintainability.

🔒 Security Concerns

Critical

  1. Credential Cleanup Incomplete (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh)

    • Lines 95-97: Certificate and ZIP are cleaned up, but environment variables containing secrets remain in memory
    • Risk: Secrets could leak in logs or crash dumps
    • Fix: Add explicit unset after use:
    unset CERT_BASE64 CERT_PASS APPLE_APP_PASSWORD
  2. Base64 Newline Handling (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:30)

    • Good: Uses tr -d '\\n' to strip newlines
    • Issue: No validation that decoding succeeded
    • Fix: Add validation after base64 decode

Medium

  1. Keychain Cleanup on Error (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:97)

    • Line 97 uses || true which silently ignores failures
    • Risk: Orphaned keychains accumulate over time
    • Fix: Use trap for guaranteed cleanup
  2. 1Password Credential Loading (.github/workflows/release-comprehensive.yml:146-158)

    • Good: Uses --no-newline flag consistently
    • Issue: No validation that credentials were successfully loaded
    • Fix: Add validation step after loading

🐛 Potential Bugs

  1. Race Condition in Submission ID Retrieval (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:79-83)

    • Uses grep -m1 on history which may not be the current submission
    • Risk: Could retrieve wrong submission ID if multiple notarizations running
    • Fix: notarytool submit with --wait already returns submission ID in output. Capture it directly instead of querying history
  2. spctl Assessment Ignores Failures (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:92)

    • Line 92: || true means Gatekeeper rejection does not fail the build
    • Risk: Ships binaries that macOS will block
    • Fix: Fail on Gatekeeper rejection instead of silently continuing
  3. Missing Error Context (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh)

    • set -euo pipefail causes immediate exit without context
    • Fix: Add error handler trap to show line numbers on failure

⚡ Performance Considerations

  1. Sequential Binary Signing (.github/workflows/release-comprehensive.yml:186-202)

    • Notarization takes 2-10 minutes per binary
    • Current implementation signs sequentially (terraphim_server then terraphim-agent)
    • Improvement: Run as matrix to parallelize
    • Benefit: Cut signing time in half (~5-20 minutes → 2.5-10 minutes)
  2. Redundant Verification Steps (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:62, 92)

    • Line 62: codesign --verify after signing
    • Line 92: spctl --assess after notarization
    • Workflow line 219-226: Repeats both verifications
    • Fix: Remove redundant workflow verification (script already validates)

📚 Code Quality & Best Practices

  1. Magic Number: Keychain Timeout (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:23)

    • 21600 seconds (6 hours) - no comment explaining why
    • Fix: Add constant with explanation
  2. Inconsistent Error Messages (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh)

    • Some echo to stdout, some to stderr, inconsistent
    • Fix: Standardize - progress to stdout, errors to stderr
  3. Missing Input Validation (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:7-13)

    • No validation that binary file exists or is executable
    • Fix: Add validation at script start

✅ What Works Well

  • Comprehensive documentation: docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md is excellent
  • Automated Homebrew updates: Clean integration with existing workflow
  • Credential management: 1Password integration is secure
  • README updates: Homebrew installation instructions are clear
  • Testing: Local testing validation shows thoroughness
  • Workflow dependencies: Correct needs: relationships prevent race conditions
  • Universal binary creation: Proper lipo usage

🧪 Test Coverage

What's Missing

  1. No Dry-Run Mode for Signing Script

    • Cannot test script without real certificates
    • Add: --dry-run flag that validates inputs without signing
  2. No Integration Test for Workflow

    • Should test with non-production tag (e.g., v0.0.0-signing-test)
    • Recommendation: Add to PR description test plan

📋 Documentation

  1. Release Notes Template (.github/workflows/release-comprehensive.yml:448-461)

    • Good: Clear asset descriptions
    • Enhancement: Add security note about notarization in release notes
  2. Troubleshooting Section Missing (docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md)

    • Should cover common issues: notarization failures, certificate expiration, keychain access issues
    • Add: Troubleshooting section with common errors and solutions

🎯 Recommendations

Must Fix Before Merge

  1. Security issue New persistance #1 (credential cleanup)
  2. Bug After clippy #6 (spctl failure handling)
  3. Bug Pulling everything together - part 1 #5 (submission ID race condition)

Should Fix Before Merge

  1. Security issue Config #2 (certificate decode validation)
  2. Security issue Persistance config #3 (keychain cleanup trap)
  3. Bug Terraphim types #7 (error context)
  4. Quality issue Integration with Atomic Server on backend: Save article search cache into atomic server  #12 (input validation)

Nice to Have (Future PR)

  1. Performance Add OpenAPI documenation to axum server using utopia  #8 (parallel signing)
  2. Test coverage Integration with Atomic Server on backend: Atomic server as haystack #13 (dry-run mode)
  3. Documentation First working search with reverse lookup #16 (troubleshooting)

Overall Assessment

Grade: B+ (Good implementation with security improvements needed)

This is a solid implementation of macOS code signing automation. The main concerns are around error handling and credential cleanup. The architecture is sound, documentation is comprehensive, and the workflow integration is clean.

Recommendation: Request changes for critical security issues (#1, #2) and bug fixes (#5, #6), then approve.

Code Review: macOS Code Signing and Homebrew Automation

Overall Assessment

This PR implements a comprehensive macOS code signing and notarization pipeline with Homebrew automation. The implementation is well-structured and follows security best practices. However, there are some important security concerns and improvements needed before merging.


🔴 Critical Security Issues

1. Credential Exposure via Environment Variables

Location: .github/workflows/release-comprehensive.yml:181-186

The workflow passes secrets as command-line arguments. This is visible in process listings and logs. Recommendation: Use environment variables directly within the script instead of CLI args.

2. Temporary Keychain Not Always Cleaned Up

Location: scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:96

The cleanup uses || true which swallows failures. If cleanup fails, credentials remain on runner. Recommendation: Use trap for guaranteed cleanup.

3. No Validation of 1Password Outputs

Location: .github/workflows/release-comprehensive.yml:181-186

The script assumes 1Password reads succeed. Add validation checks after each credential load.


🟡 Code Quality Issues

4. Mixed Knowledge Graph Implementation in Same PR

This PR includes both macOS signing AND unrelated knowledge graph validation workflows, session files, skills, and hooks. This violates the atomic commits principle. Recommendation: Split into two separate PRs.

5. Session Files in Version Control

Location: .sessions/*.md files

Are these intended for permanent documentation or should they be gitignored?

6. Script Doesn't Validate Binary Architecture

Location: scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh

Add validation to verify binary is actually universal (Intel + Apple Silicon).


🟢 Performance Considerations

7. Notarization Wait Time

Location: scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:71-74

The --wait flag blocks 2-10 minutes per binary. Consider parallel notarization to reduce total CI time.

8. ZIP Creation Not Optimized

Location: scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:66

The --keepParent flag includes unnecessary parent directory structure.


📚 Documentation Improvements

9. README Update Lacks Troubleshooting

Add troubleshooting for Gatekeeper blocks, signature verification, notarization failures.

10. docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md Needs Update

Should document new automated workflow, local testing, rollback procedures, required 1Password credentials.


✅ Test Coverage Assessment

11. Missing Automated Tests

Only manual testing shown. Add CI validation for signing script failures and validation.

12. No Verification of Signed Artifact Upload

Verify that create-release job uses signed artifacts, not unsigned ones.


🎯 Required Changes Before Merge

Must Fix:

  1. ❌ Remove credentials from CLI arguments (Security)
  2. ❌ Add trap-based cleanup (Security)
  3. ❌ Validate 1Password reads (Security)
  4. ❌ Split PR or document why mixed scope (Quality)
  5. ❌ Verify signed artifacts reach release (Testing)

Should Fix:
6. ⚠️ Add automation tests
7. ⚠️ Update RELEASE_PROCESS.md
8. ⚠️ Clarify .sessions/ usage

Nice to Have:
9. 💡 Parallel notarization
10. 💡 Add troubleshooting to README


📊 Summary

Strengths:

  • ✅ Comprehensive macOS signing solution
  • ✅ Good use of 1Password for credentials
  • ✅ Proper hardened runtime flags
  • ✅ Manual testing documented

Concerns:

  • 🔴 Security: Credentials in CLI args
  • 🔴 Scope: Mixed features (signing + KG workflows)
  • 🟡 Testing: Manual only, no automation
  • 🟡 Docs: RELEASE_PROCESS.md outdated

Recommendation: Address critical security issues and consider splitting PR before merge.


Questions for Author

  1. Why are knowledge graph validation features included in a macOS signing PR?
  2. Are .sessions/ files intended for permanent documentation?
  3. Has the signed artifact download path in create-release been verified?
  4. What is the rollback plan if signing fails in production?

Review Status: ⚠️ Changes Requested - Address security issues before merge

Great work on the implementation! The foundation is solid, just needs security hardening and scope clarification.

Code Review: macOS Code Signing and Homebrew Automation

Summary

This PR implements a comprehensive macOS code signing, notarization, and Homebrew automation pipeline. The implementation is well-structured and follows security best practices.


✅ Strengths

1. Excellent Security Practices

  • Uses temporary keychains that are properly cleaned up
  • Credentials loaded from 1Password with --no-newline flag
  • Secrets passed as parameters, never hardcoded
  • Temporary files cleaned up in all code paths
  • Certificate stored as base64 to avoid file system exposure

2. Robust Error Handling

  • Script uses set -euo pipefail for strict error handling
  • Notarization includes --wait flag for synchronous completion
  • Multiple verification steps (codesign, spctl)
  • Proper newline handling before base64 decode

3. Well-Documented Process

  • Comprehensive docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md with detailed documentation
  • Clear workflow dependency chain documented
  • Manual testing procedures included
  • Troubleshooting section for common issues

4. Proper CI/CD Integration

  • Job dependencies correctly set
  • Artifact naming clear
  • Release notes updated to highlight signed and notarized status
  • Self-hosted runner requirements properly specified

🔍 Critical Issues Found

1. Missing Artifact Download in create-release Job (CRITICAL)

Issue: The create-release job now depends on sign-and-notarize-macos but does not download the signed binaries artifact. It will still use the unsigned universal binaries.

Impact: Without this fix, the release will contain unsigned binaries despite the signing job succeeding.

Fix Required: Add download step for binaries-signed-universal-apple-darwin artifact in the create-release job before creating the release.

2. Keychain Cleanup Can Fail Silently

Location: scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh:99

Issue: Error suppression with || true could mask real issues.

Recommendation: Use a trap handler for proper cleanup instead of manual cleanup with error suppression.

3. No Timeout for Notarization

Issue: The xcrun notarytool submit --wait has no timeout. Can hang indefinitely.

Recommendation: Add a timeout (suggested: 30 minutes).

4. Homebrew Formula Update Not Tested

Concern: No evidence that the Homebrew formula update workflow was tested end-to-end.

Recommendation: Test with a pre-release tag before merge.


🎯 Testing Recommendations

Before Merge (Critical)

  1. Test with Pre-Release Tag

    • Verify signing completes successfully
    • Download release binaries and verify signatures
    • Test installation via Homebrew
    • Confirm no Gatekeeper warnings on fresh Mac
  2. Verify Artifact Chain

    • Check that create-release uses signed binaries
    • Verify checksums match signed binaries
    • Test on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs

📊 Performance Assessment

Estimated Pipeline Duration:

  • Before PR: 20-30 minutes
  • After PR: 30-45 minutes (+10-15 min for notarization)

This is acceptable for release pipeline.


🔐 Security Assessment

Excellent Practices Observed

  1. Credentials never logged or exposed
  2. Temporary keychain with random password
  3. Certificate imported securely from base64
  4. Proper cleanup of sensitive files
  5. 1Password integration follows best practices

Recommendations

  1. Add certificate rotation documentation
  2. Consider saving notarization logs for debugging
  3. Document emergency release procedure

✨ Overall Assessment

Quality: High (4/5 stars)
Security: Excellent
Documentation: Very Good
Testing: Needs verification

Recommendation: Approve after addressing critical artifact download issue and completing end-to-end testing.

Great work on this comprehensive implementation!

Comprehensive Code Review - PR #384

This PR implements macOS code signing, Homebrew automation, and knowledge graph validation workflows.


CRITICAL - Must Fix Before Merge

1. CI Failures Blocking Merge

  • Rust Compilation Check: FAILED
  • Rust Clippy: FAILED
  • Security Audit: FAILED
  • lint-and-format: FAILED (multiple workflows)

Action Required: Fix all compilation errors and linting issues.

2. Missing Test Coverage
No tests found for:

  • New CLI commands (validate, suggest, hook)
  • TuiService::check_connectivity()
  • TuiService::fuzzy_suggest()
  • TuiService::validate_against_checklist()
  • Hook scripts (.claude/hooks/*)

Action Required: Add comprehensive unit and integration tests.

3. Security: Certificate Handling
In release workflow, certificates from 1Password are passed as environment variables without explicit masking. Add ::add-mask:: to prevent accidental log exposure.


High Priority Issues

4. Sign Script Robustness (scripts/sign-macos-binary.sh)

  • No RUNNER_TEMP validation before use
  • No verification that notarization succeeded (only that it submitted)
  • Redundant newline handling with tr -d

5. Error Handling
Service methods return generic anyhow::Error instead of structured error types. Makes error handling difficult for callers.

Recommendation: Define custom error types with thiserror.

6. Performance: Fuzzy Search
Autocomplete index rebuilt on every call. For large thesauri, this is expensive.

Recommendation: Cache indices in ConfigState.


Code Quality

7. Code Duplication
validate and suggest commands duplicate stdin reading logic.

8. Inconsistent JSON Output
Different commands use different JSON formats. Needs standardization.

9. Hook Scripts Missing Defensive Patterns
Missing set -euo pipefail, input validation, and timeout mechanisms.

10. Missing Usage Examples
New CLI commands lack help text examples.


Security Review

Positive Practices:

  • 1Password for credential storage
  • Temporary keychain creation/deletion
  • Team ID verification
  • Notarization requirement

Concerns:

11. Pre-commit Secret Detection Workaround
Commit message mentions avoiding secret detection triggers. Review to ensure these are false positives.

12. Self-Hosted Runner Security
Verify runners have: isolated workspaces, RUNNER_TEMP cleanup, no keychain password persistence, dedicated service accounts.


Release Process

13. Homebrew Update Timing
If update-homebrew fails after create-release, users have a GitHub release with no Homebrew formula.

Recommendation: Make idempotent or add rollback.

14. Artifact Naming
Universal binaries named *-universal-apple-darwin creates ambiguity.

Recommendation: Use clearer names like terraphim_server-macos-universal, terraphim_server-macos-intel, etc.


CLAUDE.md Compliance

Follows Guidelines:

  • tokio for async
  • Proper error propagation
  • Rust naming conventions
  • Conventional Commits

Deviates:

15. Testing Philosophy
CLAUDE.md states: Never use mocks in tests. No integration tests for hooks found.

16. Pre-commit Checks
Clippy failures indicate pre-commit checks were not run or bypassed.


Performance

17. Blocking I/O
stdin reading uses blocking I/O in async context. Consider tokio::io for consistency.

18. Lock Contention
RoleGraph locked during entire computation. Minimize lock scope for large graphs.


Documentation

Strengths:

  • Comprehensive HANDOVER.md
  • Detailed RELEASE_PROCESS.md
  • Updated README

Gaps:

19. Missing ADRs
Significant architectural changes (hook system, validation workflows) lack ADRs.

20. Session Documentation Incomplete
.sessions/ files lack rationale for decisions and lessons from failures.


Positive Aspects

Excellent work on:

  1. Comprehensive planning with disciplined research → design → implementation
  2. Security-first code signing pipeline
  3. Seamless Homebrew automation
  4. Clever terraphim feature integration
  5. Thorough documentation

Recommended Actions

Must Do (Blocking):

  1. Fix ALL CI failures
  2. Add comprehensive tests
  3. Add set -euo pipefail to hooks
  4. Secure certificate handling
  5. Validate signing script inputs

Should Do:
6. Define structured error types
7. Cache autocomplete indices
8. Extract duplicate code
9. Add hook timeouts
10. Verify runner security

Nice to Have:
11. Create ADRs
12. Standardize JSON output
13. Add CLI examples
14. Update lessons-learned.md


Summary

Category Status
CI/CD ❌ Blocking failures
Tests ❌ Missing coverage
Security ⚠️ Minor concerns
Performance ⚠️ Index rebuilding
Code Quality ⚠️ Some issues
Documentation ✅ Excellent
Architecture ✅ Well-designed

Overall: Substantial, well-planned PR with excellent docs and architecture. Cannot merge until CI passes and tests added. Security and performance concerns should be addressed before production.

Estimated effort: 2-4 hours for blocking issues, 1-2 days for all recommendations.

Great comprehensive implementation! Address CI and tests, then ready to merge. 🚀
