ci: exchange the OIDC token for crates.io and build every release platform (OSS-351)

[Acture]

The v0.2.0 release run (2026-09-28) failed at the crates.io step with no token found, please run cargo login. 4e00fb4 switched to Trusted Publishing and dropped the token: it granted id-token: write but never exchanged that OIDC token for a crates.io one. The release.yml on master still lacks the step, so the next tag would fail the same way.

publish-crates now runs rust-lang/crates-io-auth-action@v1 (the floating v1 branch, as in the crates.io documentation) and passes its token to cargo publish --workspace as CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN.

CI never compiled the macOS and Windows binaries that releases ship. They were last built in April, before the OSS-308 split. A new build job runs cargo build --workspace on macos-latest and windows-latest for every change. CI also:

• reads the repository with a read-only token;
• cancels superseded pull request runs;
• installs clippy and rustfmt explicitly instead of relying on the runner image;
• moves to the Node 24 majors (checkout v7, upload-artifact v7, download-artifact v8, action-gh-release v3), which removes the deprecation warning in the CI log.

Their breaking changes concern pull_request_target checkouts, downloads by artifact ID and self-hosted runners; these workflows use none of them.

Before the next release (manual)

• scriptmark-core has never been published. crates.io requires a crate's first version to be published with an API token; Trusted Publishing works only for existing crates.
• Configure Trusted Publishing on crates.io for both scriptmark and scriptmark-core: repository Acture/scriptmark, workflow release.yml, environment release.

Checks

actionlint is clean on both workflows. Every action ref was confirmed to exist. This pull request's own CI run is the first macOS/Windows build of the current code.

Linear: OSS-351.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI workflow adds run permissions and cancellation policies, installs Rust formatting and lint components, and builds on macOS and Windows. The release workflow updates GitHub Actions versions and uses a short-lived crates.io token when publishing the workspace.

Changes

CI workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CI checks and run policies .github/workflows/ci.yml	The workflow grants read-only contents permissions and cancels in-progress pull-request runs for the same Git ref. The check job updates checkout and installs Clippy and rustfmt with stable Rust.
Cross-platform builds .github/workflows/ci.yml	A macOS and Windows matrix job builds the workspace with fail-fast disabled.

Release workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Release build and artifact actions .github/workflows/release.yml	The workflow updates checkout, artifact upload and download, and GitHub Release actions to newer major versions.
Crates.io publishing authentication .github/workflows/release.yml	The publishing job obtains a crates.io token through rust-lang/crates-io-auth-action@v1 and passes it to cargo publish --workspace through CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN. Comments describe the Trusted Publishing setup and manual first publication.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 42e70

The CI workflows are mostly safe to merge. Consider setting persist-credentials: false on both checkout steps, so build scripts cannot read a persisted read-only token. Before the next release, complete the documented crates.io Trusted Publishing setup.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 42e70

The new platform builds extend an existing checkout-credential exposure to macOS and Windows, but CI credentials are now explicitly read-only. Release authentication is scoped to the publishing job and step. Before releasing, both crates still require the documented registry setup and first-publication prerequisites.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · observed: The new macOS and Windows jobs extend the existing persisted-checkout credential exposure to two additional execution environments. Contributor-controlled Cargo build execution can encounter each job's read-only repository credential. Credential persistence predates this PR; the additional credential-bearing jobs do not.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The credential-exposure footprint grows from the existing Ubuntu check environment to include independently executing macOS and Windows builds. The demonstrated authority remains repository contents read; the evidence does not establish cross-repository, organization-wide, or registry-publishing authority from these CI credentials.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — The retained Security finding identifies persisted checkout credentials followed by Cargo execution. Its contributor-controlled-build attack path is carried into the new platform jobs because their checkout steps do not disable credential persistence. The same condition already existed in the base Ubuntu job.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — CI uses pull_request rather than pull_request_target and explicitly grants only contents: read, limiting the exposed credential's authority. Release publishing has separate OIDC and environment controls. The repository documents the intended crates.io repository/workflow/environment binding but does not prove that external mapping or environment protection settings.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Registry authentication failure prevents the subsequent Cargo publication step but does not gate the sibling GitHub Release job. Once publication succeeds externally, reverting this workflow does not provide a defined recovery mechanism for that published state. These failure-containment limits follow from the existing job structure, not a newly removed safeguard.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Where CI builds do not need authenticated Git operations, disable checkout credential persistence in both the existing check job and new build jobs to remove the credential from the build-execution boundary.
• proposed — Before the next release, verify both crates' bootstrap and Trusted Publishing mappings, release-environment protections, and the authentication action's token-lifecycle guarantees. Pinning privileged actions to reviewed immutable revisions would additionally reduce mutable-reference control drift.
