v0.12.0 could not be installed through npm, pnpm, pip or the Go wrapper on
any platform (#2657): each wrapper refused an archive member above 256 MiB,
and every v0.12.0 binary is 331-335 MB. The v0.11.0 binaries were already
about 300 MB, so the Go wrapper, which has had the cap since v0.10.0, was
broken before; npm and PyPI gained it in v0.12.0. The archive is verified
against the release's checksums.txt before it is unpacked, so a byte cap
only ever refused what we ship.
- npm, PyPI, Go: delete every byte-size cap (compressed archive, per member,
aggregate, checksum manifest, download size). The checksum, the exact
member set, path and link refusal, the member count, HTTPS and the
--version check stay.
- All three honour CBM_DOWNLOAD_URL like install.sh, for testing: https, or
plain http to an exact loopback authority with no proxy and no redirect.
- Smoke: scripts/smoke-wrappers.sh installs the three wrappers from the
checkout against the release fixture and runs the binary each one
installed. smoke-test.sh Phase 13w runs it; SMOKE_REQUIRE_WRAPPERS=1 makes
it required on the PR smoke lanes and in the release smoke, which gates
publishing.
Other install paths found broken while checking every channel:
- Homebrew: the formula was still at 0.10.3 and installed the dynamic Linux
build, which needs glibc 2.38 (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 and RHEL 9 lack it).
It now installs 0.12.0 with the static -portable Linux assets and tracks
the newest release in the version contract like the other surfaces.
- Go: `go install .../pkg/go/cmd/codebase-memory-mcp@vX.Y.Z` never worked
(no pkg/go/v* tags, so Go fetched the whole repository, over its 500 MB
module limit), and @latest built main's wrapper, whose version constant
lags each release. The release now also tags pkg/go/vX.Y.Z, and the
wrapper installs its own module version (the constant only for local and
untagged builds).
- npm: a stable release also moves the `next` dist-tag to itself; `next`
still pointed to 0.9.1-rc.1.
- Docs: winget and Chocolatey were listed as install channels but are not
published; they are removed until they are. Windows arm64 ships and is
now listed.
Fixes#2657.

The Go wrapper caps the compressed release download at 256 MiB and
bounds extraction to 64 archive members, 256 MiB per member and 512 MiB
expanded in total. The npm and PyPI wrappers had the download cap
parameter but never passed it for the release archive, and extracted
members without any size bound.
Both wrappers now use the same four limits as named constants. The
download rejects an over-limit Content-Length before writing (only
plain ASCII digits count as a length), stops as soon as the received
body exceeds the limit, and removes the partial file.
The PyPI extractor checks the member count and the declared sizes
before writing and copies each member through a counted loop that reads
at most one byte past the limit and compares the actual size with the
declared one.
The npm tar path keeps the system tar listing and the exact four-name
check as the member bound, then extracts only the executable through
`tar -xzOf` piped into a file the wrapper creates itself, counting
bytes: past the per-member limit the child is stopped and the file
removed; a non-zero tar exit carries tar's own diagnostic text; an
empty result is a failure. The file is removed only when this run
created it, so a pre-existing target is never deleted. The companions
are listed but never written. The PowerShell zip path counts entries
and declared sizes and copies the executable through a counted loop
instead of ExtractToFile, with its own failure text in the install
error. Any limit hit fails with a message naming the limit and leaves
no partial output behind.
Tests cover an over-limit download (declared, actual, and non-numeric
declared lengths), a member stopped in the counted writer, a
pre-existing target left untouched, tar failing mid-stream, an empty
member, too many members and over-limit declared sizes for zip, and a
normal archive installing byte-identical with the executable bit set.
The PowerShell cases run on Windows hosts only.

Externalizing the integration templates (#1492/#1493) and the UI bundle
(#1501/#1503) was done to reduce the Microsoft `Wacatac.B!ml` surface. It did
not work: across dry runs the flagged artifact count stayed at ~3 and the
detections merely moved between artifacts.
Dissection of run 31286803592 shows there is no structural cause to fix. The
verdicts split across every axis at once — linux-amd64 (dynamic) flagged while
linux-amd64-portable (static) is clean, but linux-arm64 (dynamic) clean while
linux-arm64-portable (static) is flagged. The two macOS binaries have identical
segment structure and split clean/flagged. Siblings from one build landed in
different variant buckets (.B vs .C). Entropy is low everywhere
(code_vectors.bin 4.166, grammar tables 3.464 bits/byte, against 7.5-8.0 for
packed payloads), so the packed-payload hypothesis is excluded too.
So the complexity bought nothing, and installation goes back to being
self-contained: one binary that carries its own UI and agent integration
templates, with no adjacent data file that has to resolve before `install`
works. Only the UI-capable composition ships from now on, under the historical
unsuffixed archive name.
Removed: src/ui/asset_pack.{c,h}, asset_pack_stub.c, asset_manifest_stub.c,
scripts/pack-ui-assets.mjs, src/cli/integration_assets.{c,h},
assets/cbm-integrations.json, scripts/gen-integrations-hash.sh, the
--verify-runtime-assets probe (nothing adjacent left to verify), and the
composition gates A6/A7 whose property is now deliberately inverted.
Restored: scripts/embed-frontend.sh, src/ui/embedded_{assets.h,stub.c}, the
compiled-in hook/adapter template bodies, and the embed/EMBED_OBJS build path.
Kept from the reverted commits, re-applied by hand where a wholesale file
restore would have dropped them:
- cbm_module_path_utf8() in both self-path sites. GetModuleFileNameA renders
through the ANSI code page and mangles non-ASCII install paths.
- the /__cbm/ui-readiness HMAC proof, secure_random and cbm_hmac_sha256, so
`daemon start --open` still waits for a genuine CBM listener.
- X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff on served assets.
- the MinGW noexecstack gate, -lbcrypt, and the cppcheck/zip CI fixes.
Archives are now codebase-memory-mcp-<os>-<arch>[-portable] with exactly four
members (binary, LICENSE, installer, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md). That restores the
names every static package manifest already points at — aur, chocolatey,
homebrew, scoop, winget and glama were all broken by the -ui- rename.

Windows shipped a PAIR: a small permanent launcher (codebase-memory-mcp.exe)
plus the real product binary (codebase-memory-mcp.payload.exe). The launcher
existed for exactly one reason — a running .exe cannot replace its own image
on Windows, so an in-process self-update needs a second resident binary to do
the swap.
That stub is statically indistinguishable from a dropper: a small, unsigned,
zero-prevalence PE whose whole job is verify-and-execute another binary.
Defender's ML scored it Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml and blocked the v0.9.1-rc.1
release at the VirusTotal gate. It is not fixable in our code on x64 —
bcrypt-free, stripped, VERSIONINFO'd, minimal-resource and even
resource-FREE builds on CI's own MSYS2 CLANG64 toolchain were all flagged,
while the product binary scans clean on every platform.
So remove the stub and move self-update OUT of the process into install.ps1,
which runs while cbm is NOT running: Windows' image lock only blocks a
process from replacing ITSELF. now prints the exact PowerShell
command (with the Unblock-File hint for Mark-of-the-Web); install.ps1 is
idempotent, so re-running it IS the update — it stops the daemon, renames the
running binary aside (the one mutation Windows permits on a running image),
publishes the new one, and sweeps retired copies.
Windows now matches Linux and macOS: ONE binary per platform.
* packaging, install.ps1, npm and PyPI wrappers all carry a single binary
* the launcher/payload ABI contract and ~2500 lines of stub state machinery
are deleted
* every daemon start, CLI call and hook fire loses a process spawn, a named
pipe handshake and an stdio relay
* test_windows_bundle_contract.sh is rewritten as an INVERTED contract: it
now asserts no shipped surface can reintroduce a launcher/payload pair,
and that install.ps1 retires the running binary before publishing
Verified: VirusTotal 0/67 on the packaged binary and 0/58 on install.ps1 (no
certificate involved); macOS and Linux full suites green; Windows guards all
green including the new update-handoff contract; npm 10/10; PyPI 3/3.
