There is one engine and nine doors into it, and nothing until now checked that the doors agree. CI tested each binding against itself: the Python wheel imported, the C demo compiled, the npm package type-checked. None of that would have caught a field that crosses one boundary wrong, which is the failure this library is most exposed to, because a wrong answer about a fast day looks exactly like a right one. So: twelve days, chosen where the bindings could plausibly differ, and all twenty-two fields compared against what the command line says. The days are Pascha itself, the Nativity on both calendars, a Wednesday of the Great Fast under Byzantine Catholic law and again at the Typikon, a weekday of the Nativity Fast where Greek and Slavic usage part, the one Orthodox church on the Gregorian Paschalion, and a day with no feast. A release now runs what a push runs. It had been gated on cargo test alone, so the C ABI, the Lua binding, the Python parity check and the README examples were checked on the branch that led to a release and not on the release. Neither registry will reuse a version, so the gate belongs before the upload. Writing it found three things. The npm exports map did not expose the wasm by package path, so a bundler asked for typikon/web/typikon_bg.wasm was told no such path exists and had to reach into node_modules; the documented init() call was never affected. The suite could hang instead of fail, because the test web server was backgrounded inside a subshell and killed by job spec, leaving bash in do_wait forever. And pointing XDG_CONFIG_HOME at a path that does not exist isolates typikon and breaks every other program that keeps state under it, a browser included. A surface whose toolchain is missing is named as skipped, and fewer than three surfaces running is a failure rather than a pass, so a container with nothing installed cannot come out green.

Releasing
The branching workflow
main is always releasable. Everything else is short-lived.
feat/whatever ──push──▶ ci runs tests
│
└──merge──▶ main ──tag v0.3.0──▶ release builds and publishes to PyPI
- Work on a branch. Pushing any branch runs
ci.yml: clippy, the Rust tests, the Python bindings built and tested against the freshly built CLI, and mypy against the stubs. - Merge to
mainwhen it is green. - Release by tagging.
Cargo.tomlcarries the version and the tag points at it. The first job refuses to continue if the two disagree, because PyPI will not let a version be reused — not even after it is yanked — so publishing 0.2.0 under a tag that says v0.3.0 cannot be undone.
$ # on main, working tree clean
$ sed -i 's/^version = .*/version = "0.3.0"/' Cargo.toml
$ cargo build # refresh Cargo.lock
$ git commit -am 'release 0.3.0'
$ git tag v0.3.0 && git push origin main v0.3.0
__version__ in Python comes from CARGO_PKG_VERSION, and maturin reads the
same field, so Cargo.toml is the only place a version is written.
Why pull requests do not trigger CI
ci.yml fires on push and nothing else. This forge is public and takes pull
requests from strangers; a runner executes whatever the workflow checks out, so a
pull_request trigger would run an unread stranger's code on the runner host.
Push-only means the runner only ever executes code that someone with push rights
put there.
The cost is real: a pull request gets no automatic check. Read the diff, push the branch yourself, and let it run then.
What has to exist first
1. Actions enabled on the forge
Off by default here, deliberately — see homedocs/services/forgejo-public.md.
In app.ini on moria:
[actions]
ENABLED = true
$ ssh moria 'cd ~/docker-services/forgejo-public && docker compose down && docker compose up -d'
Always restart the whole stack. network_mode: service:forge-wg means restarting
the forge alone silently strips its networking.
2. A runner
The forge has no default route and cannot address the LAN, so it cannot reach a runner. Runners poll outward, so register one against the public URL and let it come to the forge the same way any other client does:
$ forgejo-runner register --no-interactive \
--instance https://git.pumpin.online \
--token <from Settings → Actions → Runners> \
--name <host> --labels docker
It needs Docker and outbound internet — it fetches crates and wheels. It executes repository code, so put it somewhere you would be willing to lose, not on a host that matters. moria runs the MCP servers and the forge itself; that is the wrong box for it.
3. A PyPI token
Registered under the funkpower account. Make it project-scoped to
typikon, not account-wide, and add it as the repository secret PYPI_TOKEN.
PyPI's trusted publishing is OIDC and supports GitHub, GitLab, Google Cloud Build and ActiveState — not Forgejo. So this forge has to hold a long-lived credential, and scoping it to the one project is the whole of the mitigation available: if the forge is compromised, what is lost is the ability to publish typikon, not every package the account owns.
Rotate it at pypi.org/manage/account/token/ if the forge is ever suspect.
4. An npm token
Also under funkpower, also scoped to the one package, added as the
repository secret NPM_TOKEN. Make it a granular access token with write
on typikon alone; a classic automation token is account-wide.
It does not need "bypass 2FA", and should not have it. npm is withdrawing direct publish from every token that bypasses 2FA: management operations went in July 2026, publishing goes in January 2027, after which such a token may only read private packages and stage a publish. Staging is what this workflow does, so an ordinary granular token is both sufficient and the one that survives.
npm has trusted publishing too, and like PyPI's it is OIDC against GitHub Actions and GitLab, which this forge is neither. So the forge holds a long-lived credential and the scoping is the whole of the mitigation.
Without the secret the release still succeeds and the npm step warns and skips, so the first release after the token lapses is a PyPI release and nothing else. Check the run.
What gets published
typikon-X.Y.Z.tar.gz |
sdist — builds from source anywhere with a Rust toolchain |
…-cp39-abi3-manylinux…x86_64.whl |
|
…-cp39-abi3-manylinux…aarch64.whl |
cross-built with maturin --zig |
abi3, so one wheel per platform covers every Python from 3.9 up rather than one per interpreter.
And on npm, one package with two WebAssembly builds in it: node/ for Node,
which loads the module itself, and web/ for browsers and bundlers, which
cannot compile WebAssembly synchronously on the main thread and so has to be
awaited. The exports map picks between them. There are no per-platform
artefacts, because WebAssembly has no platforms.
The npm half needs a hand
The tag does not finish the npm release. The runner stages the tarball; it
is not on the registry and npm install typikon will not see it until someone
approves it with 2FA:
$ npm stage list
$ npm stage view <stage-id> # what is in it
$ npm stage approve <stage-id> # asks for the code
Or the Staged Packages tab on npmjs.com. Either way a code is asked for, which is the point: the forge holds a credential that can propose a release and cannot make one.
npm stage wants npm 11.15 or newer on Node 22.14 or newer, on the approving
machine as well as the runner.
No macOS or Windows wheels. Forgejo has no hosted runners, so those need a Mac and a Windows box registered as runners. Until then both fall back to the sdist, which needs a Rust toolchain on the installing machine — fine for developers, a wall for everyone else.
Checking a release without publishing
$ rm -rf dist # a wheel left in dist/ gets packed into the sdist
$ maturin sdist --out dist && maturin build --release --out dist
$ twine check dist/*
$ python -m venv /tmp/v && /tmp/v/bin/pip install --no-binary :all: dist/*.tar.gz
$ /tmp/v/bin/python -c 'import typikon, datetime; print(typikon.today())'
Installing from the sdist with --no-binary is the one that catches a missing
file, because it builds the crate from exactly what PyPI would hand someone.
Every binding agrees
tests/parity.sh asks every binding for the same twelve days and compares all
twenty-two fields against what the command line says. It runs in CI on every
push and again in the release job before anything is uploaded.
$ tests/parity.sh # against this checkout
$ tests/parity.sh --published # against what is on PyPI and npm
Run the second one after a release. It is the only check that exercises the artefacts people will actually install rather than the ones the build produced.
A surface whose toolchain is missing is skipped by name, and the script refuses
to report a pass if fewer than three ran, so a container with nothing installed
cannot look like a green run. Everything it wants: python3 with venv, node
and npm, cc, luajit, chromium, and optionally deno and bun.
For the npm package:
$ npm/build.sh && node npm/test.mjs
$ npm pack --dry-run npm/dist
npm/test.mjs resolves typikon through a staged node_modules, so it tests
the exports map and the built files rather than a lucky relative import. It
compares a year of days field by field against the command line, runs the web
build the way a browser would, and type-checks the published .d.ts under
tsc --strict. It needs wasm-bindgen on PATH at the version Cargo.lock
pins, and tsc for the last of those.
