A shell script, .desktop, .rules, or .spec file checked out with CRLF (Windows
with core.autocrlf=true) breaks when run/parsed on Linux — a
`#!/usr/bin/env bash\r` shebang is a "bad interpreter" error, and the Linux
package would ship broken scripts. Pin these (and other text) to LF, and mark
binary assets (png/gz/traineddata) so they are never converted. Also harden
the packaging/wayland structural tests to strip CR defensively.

Phase 3 of the improvement plan (PR 9 of the sequence): the dnf/Fedora
packaging half, in separate Linux-specific files, mirroring the apt/.deb work.
- packaging/linux/common/stage-runtime.sh: shared runtime-only payload staging
extracted from the .deb builder so the two package formats never drift. It
copies app code + a fixed Electron runtime + production npm deps (npm ls
--omit=dev), guards against dev-dep leaks, and fails without node_modules.
The .deb builder now delegates to it.
- packaging/linux/fedora/stepforge.spec: runtime Requires (nss, nspr, gtk3,
…), Recommends (xinput, portal, pipewire), %license, and a %post that makes
chrome-sandbox setuid and refreshes desktop/MIME/icon caches. No compilation
— it packages the prebuilt BuildRoot.
- packaging/linux/fedora/package.sh: stages the shared payload, substitutes
version/maintainer into the spec, and runs rpmbuild against the prebuilt
BuildRoot with detected arch. Requires rpmbuild + node_modules; emits an
.rpm + sha256.
- scripts/linux/dnf/install-runtime-deps.sh and install-build-deps.sh:
separate runtime vs build dependency sets for dnf (runtime installs no build
tools).
- docs/linux/dnf.md: Fedora/RHEL install + build guide, distinct from apt.md.
Tests: packaging-linux.test.js gains Fedora/dnf structural checks (spec
Requires + MPL-2.0 + %license + sandbox setup, builder shares staging +
requires rpmbuild, dnf build/runtime dep separation, shared staging never
copies the whole dev tree). tests/integration/linux/package-rpm.test.sh builds
a real .rpm and asserts runtime-only contents (honest skip when rpmbuild is
absent, as on this apt host).
Verified: 13 packaging unit tests pass; the refactored .deb builder still
produces a valid runtime-only package (integration test green); the .rpm
integration test skips cleanly where rpmbuild is unavailable.

Phase 3 of the improvement plan (PR 8 of the sequence): the apt/X11 packaging
half of Linux support, in separate Linux-specific files. Replaces the old
scripts/package-linux.sh, which the audit flagged as "not production
packaging" (it copied the whole dev node_modules — including vulnerable build
deps — plus docs/prompts/examples/audit files, hardcoded amd64, declared only
xinput, lacked desktop/icon/MIME integration, and could build without
node_modules).
Production builder (packaging/linux/debian/package.sh):
- Stages ONLY runtime files: app code, a fixed Electron runtime, and the
production npm deps (enumerated via npm ls --omit=dev). Never copies the
development node_modules; guards against electron-builder/app-builder-lib
leaking in. Fails if node_modules is absent instead of shipping an unusable
artifact.
- Detects architecture (dpkg --print-architecture, x64/arm64) rather than
hardcoding amd64. Generates DEBIAN/control from control.in with proper
runtime Depends, real maintainer, and homepage.
- Installs a desktop entry, hicolor icons (16–512), .sfgz/.sfglt MIME
registration, the launcher, and the license. postinst makes chrome-sandbox
setuid and refreshes desktop/MIME/icon caches; postrm cleans them.
- Emits a .deb, a portable tarball that now INCLUDES /usr/bin/stepforge (the
old tarball omitted it), and a sha256 sums file.
Launcher (packaging/linux/common/launcher.sh):
- Runs sandboxed; prefers the user-namespace sandbox, accepts a root-owned
setuid helper, and otherwise refuses to launch with an actionable message.
--no-sandbox requires an explicit STEPFORGE_ALLOW_NO_SANDBOX opt-in. Never
installs anything at runtime.
Setup (separate build vs runtime, apt only):
- scripts/linux/apt/install-runtime-deps.sh (Chromium/Electron libs, X11
tools, portal/PipeWire) and install-build-deps.sh (dpkg-dev, fakeroot,
xvfb). Runtime script installs no build tools.
Assets: original StepForge icon — packaging/assets/stepforge.svg plus a
generator (scripts/make-icons.js) that renders the PNG set with the repo's own
rasterizer/PNG writer (no third-party art). npm run icons regenerates them.
Wiring: package.json gains package:linux:deb / package:linux:rpm / icons;
build-release.sh uses the production builder and requires node_modules; README
points at the apt/dnf guides.
Tests: tests/unit/packaging-linux.test.js (structural: files present in their
separate locations, old script gone, valid desktop entry, templated arch +
runtime Depends, launcher gates --no-sandbox, builder requires node_modules
and guards dev-dep leaks, apt build/runtime dep separation, original icon set
generates a valid PNG) runs in the normal suite;
tests/integration/linux/package-deb.test.sh builds a real .deb and asserts the
right files present and the dev tree / build tooling / app docs absent
(honest skip only when dpkg-deb/node_modules are genuinely missing).
Verified locally: 276 unit tests pass; the integration test builds and
validates stepforge_0.3.2_amd64.deb; build-release E2E passes with the new
production package.
