feat: unify Node distribution for standalone and npm installs - #9
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR replaces the Python distribution path with a bundled Node.js CLI. It adds TypeScript sources, Node-based installation, update, packaging, release, and test flows, updates documentation, and removes legacy Python runtime files and tests. ChangesUnified Node distribution

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/ci.yml:
- Line 100: Remove the unsupported package-manager-cache input from the
actions/setup-node@v4 configuration, leaving package-manager caching disabled
without changing unrelated workflow settings.
- Line 231: Update the publish workflow step containing npm publish to install
npm 11.5.1 before publishing, ensuring the publish command uses that version
while preserving the existing tarball and public access arguments.
In `@install.sh`:
- Around line 30-32: Remove the unused curl/wget detection and failure gate from
the installer, including the downloader assignment. Keep downloads routed
through download_with_redirects, which uses Node.js HTTP modules, so Node.js 18+
hosts without curl or wget remain supported.
- Line 279: Guard the rollback invocation in the recovery path so its nonzero
return value does not trigger set -e before the following recovery message
executes. Update the rollback call near the existing recovery message,
preserving the current rollback behavior and ensuring lines that report retained
rollback artifacts always run.
In `@scripts/build-release.mjs`:
- Around line 83-85: Update the default staging-directory creation in the
release flow to use mkdtemp for a private, unpredictable directory, while
preserving the existing explicit directory behavior unchanged. Adjust the
surrounding cleanup and creation logic so the default path is not predictably
removed and recreated; use the existing releaseDirectory flow and version prefix
as appropriate.
In `@scripts/check-npm-package.mjs`:
- Line 45: Update every execFileSync call in the check script, including run()
and the calls near the other referenced locations, to enable shell execution on
Windows so npm, npx, and wt .cmd shims run without EINVAL; preserve the existing
commands and arguments.
In `@scripts/release-gates.mjs`:
- Line 48: Update the argument parsing around remoteIndex and npmReleaseDecision
so --remote without a following value is rejected rather than treated as absent;
preserve the existing behavior for a valid remote integrity value and ensure
malformed input cannot reach the publish decision path.
In `@scripts/run-tests.mjs`:
- Line 18: Update the test process launch around spawn so Windows invokes tsx
through the Node executable instead of directly spawning tsx.cmd, while
preserving direct tsx execution on other platforms and the existing test
arguments and stdio behavior.
In `@shell/wt.ps1`:
- Line 29: Update the Set-Location call in the worktree wrapper to use
-ErrorAction Stop, catch the resulting failure, and return a nonzero status from
the catch path before assigning the successful $wtStatus to
$global:LASTEXITCODE.
In `@src/naming.ts`:
- Line 46: Update the explicit-name check in the naming flow to distinguish
undefined from an empty string, so an empty name proceeds to the existing
validation error at the following lines while only an omitted name calls
generateName. Preserve the current validation behavior for other invalid
explicit names.
In `@src/runtime.ts`:
- Line 28: Update the executable path initialization in the runtime
classification flow to use normalizePath() so Unix bin symlinks are resolved
before npm channel detection. Preserve the existing fallback order of
options.executablePath, process.argv[1], and process.execPath.
In `@src/shell-init.ts`:
- Line 15: Update the marker parsing in the Bash/Zsh and Fish wrapper logic,
including the shell-init wrapper, to recognize Windows drive-rooted paths such
as C:\... and UNC paths such as \\server\share\... in addition to existing /*
markers. Ensure these markers are consumed and passed through the existing cd
flow rather than left visible and skipped.
In `@src/worktrees.ts`:
- Line 143: Update the worktree removal flow around deleteBranch and freeSlot so
the slot is persisted immediately after successful worktree removal, even when
branch cleanup fails. Handle deleteBranch failure separately while preserving
the cleanup error behavior, ensuring the state no longer reserves a removed
worktree.
In `@test/installer.test.ts`:
- Around line 310-312: Guard the zsh syntax assertion in the installer test by
checking whether the zsh executable is available before invoking spawnSync; skip
only that syntax check when unavailable, while preserving the existing
profile-content assertions.
In `@test/update.test.ts`:
- Line 62: Replace the custom dirnameFor implementation with node:path.dirname
when determining the fixture parent directory, preserving correct handling of
platform-specific separators from join().

117-120: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winCompare the full push range when deciding whether to release.
When a push contains a version-bump commit followed by another commit,

Validation
Native Windows, Fish, PowerShell, actionlint, and hosted runner execution remain CI validation items because they are unavailable locally.
The release workflow is configured to publish and create the matching GitHub Release after an approved version bump is merged to main.
