The 12-word BIP-39 test phrase survived in every release bundle as dead
text: module.exports keeps DEBUG_MNEMONIC live even though wallet.js's only
use of it folds away in a release build, so it could not be tree-shaken.
Putting the value itself behind the __BUILD_DEBUG__ define makes esbuild fold
it to null, so no distributed bundle carries it. script/verify-build now
fails a release build if the phrase appears in any emitted file, so the fold
cannot silently regress; test-verify-build covers both the release failure
and the debug allowance.
tests/extensionId.test.js now scans the content of every tracked file for a
PEM private-key header instead of matching filename extensions alone, so a
key committed under an unexpected name is caught.
Model: opus-4-8
A failed release build no longer leaves a complete, loadable debug bundle in dist/ whose every wallet uses the publicly committed test recovery phrase. Each step of the release build runs through script/discard-dist-on-failure, which removes dist/ on failure, says on stderr that it did and why, and returns the step's own status. build-debug is deliberately unwrapped. script/verify-build is untouched.
verify-build read its expectation from AUTISTMASK_DEBUG in its own environment
and the Makefile invoked it bare, so an operator with that variable exported
who ran the release target got an INSECURE debug build — every wallet it
creates uses the publicly committed test phrase — verified green, exit 0. It
also had no provenance: a 26-byte file containing the right marker string
passed, the content script and manifest.json were never inspected, and an
entire hand-written dist/ passed.
--expect release|debug and --receipt PATH are now both required, with no
defaults and nothing read from the environment. build.js records every file it
emits with its sha256 and writes the receipt; the Makefile mktemps it outside
the repo per invocation with a trap, and build.js refuses a receipt path inside
dist/. Verification runs three passes in a load-bearing order — receipt shape,
full dist/ walk, then per-file bytes — so an unwalkable subtree cannot make
files look absent. dist/constants-bundles.txt, which was an unsigned trust root
living inside the tree it vouched for, is gone.
What this proves is bounded and stated as such: dist/ is byte-for-byte the
output of the build.js run that just finished, within one make build
invocation. It proves nothing about the honesty of the source tree or build.js,
and nothing to anyone handed a dist/ from elsewhere — that is signing, #310.
The standalone make verify-build target is removed because its only input would
be dist/ itself, i.e. the artifact vouching for itself.
Verified: make check green, test-verify-build 39 cases (was 18), test-e2e 55/55
and test-e2e-firefox 8/8 with make build running uncached inside both images.
All four original bypasses now exit 1. Mutations: digests disabled fails
exactly 4 cases, dropping the dist/ walk fails exactly 8, restoring the ambient
fallback fails exactly 1.
