Add Homebrew cask automation to release workflow - #44
Merged

Conversation
Introduce automatic updates for the Homebrew cask on stable releases. Add update_homebrew_cask.py script to manage version and checksum updates from the release DMG. Integrate cask updates into the release workflow, triggered only for stable releases. Update documentation and tests to reflect the new automation. Add Homebrew installation instructions to README and expand test coverage for the cask updater.
Reviewer's GuideAdds a versioned Homebrew cask for AutoPiP and a Python updater that calculates the release DMG checksum, then integrates stable-only cask updates into the existing serialized release metadata commit while documenting and testing the full flow.

<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** Homebrew does not recognize `preflight_steps` as a cask stanza, so `brew style`/cask loading fails before installation and the cask cannot be installed.
**Suggested fix:** Use Homebrew's supported `preflight do` stanza and invoke the command with the supported `system_command` API.
```suggestion
preflight do
system_command "/usr/bin/xattr",
args: ["-dr", "com.apple.quarantine", "{{staged_path}}/AutoPiP.app"],
must_succeed: false
end
```

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** The quarantine-removal command explicitly ignores failures, so an incorrect staged-app path or any other `xattr` error leaves the installed app quarantined while the cask and README claim quarantine is removed.
**Triggers:** When `/usr/bin/xattr` fails during installation.
**Suggested fix:** Fail the preflight step when quarantine removal is required, or surface the failure clearly instead of setting `must_succeed: false`.
</issue_to_address>
### Comment 3

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** Because both substitutions use `count=1`, a cask containing multiple version or SHA-256 stanzas is silently partially updated; the subsequent `version_count != 1` check cannot detect the extra stanza despite claiming to require exactly one.
**Triggers:** When the cask file contains duplicate version or SHA-256 stanzas.
**Suggested fix:** Match all occurrences first and require the total match count to equal one before writing the file.
```suggestion
cask, version_count = re.subn(
r'^ version "[^"]+"$', f' version "{version}"', cask, flags=re.M
)
cask, checksum_count = re.subn(
r'^ sha256 "[0-9a-f]{64}"$',
f' sha256 "{checksum}"',
cask,
flags=re.M,
)
if version_count != 1 or checksum_count != 1:
raise ValueError("Cask must contain exactly one version and SHA-256 stanza")
```
</issue_to_address>Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. 3 findings to address first, and the release workflow now commits stable version and checksum changes to the canonical Homebrew cask, and the cask removes macOS quarantine from the installed app. If either decision is wrong, the published metadata or already-installed apps are not fully undone by reverting the PR, and the quarantine removal weakens a platform security safeguard for users.
Blocking findings: Casks/autopip.rb:26, Casks/autopip.rb:26, scripts/update_homebrew_cask.py:47

…ount parameters - Change preflight xattr command must_succeed from false to true - Remove explicit count=1 parameter from re.subn calls (handled by count validation) - Add test case for duplicate stanza detection in Homebrew cask updater
