ci: add manual PyInstaller test-build workflow - #408
Merged
Conversation
Port of ALEAPP's test_builds.yml with names adapted. Builds the CLI and GUI with PyInstaller on Windows x64/arm64 and Linux x64/arm64 on manual dispatch, runs each frozen CLI (--help plus an end-to-end empty-input run), and uploads the binaries as workflow artifacts. Carries ALEAPP's lesson baked in: pyinstaller>=6.22 installs in its own pip command because requirements.txt pins packaging==20.1, which would otherwise drag pyinstaller to 4.5.1 (dead on Python 3.14).

Port of ALEAPP's test_builds.yml with names adapted. On manual dispatch it builds the CLI and GUI with PyInstaller on Windows x64/arm64 and Linux x64/arm64, smoke-tests each frozen CLI (--help plus an end-to-end empty-input run that must exit cleanly), and uploads the binaries as 14-day workflow artifacts. Not a release pipeline; it exists so testable binaries can be produced and actually executed per platform.
ALEAPP's two first-dispatch lessons are baked in from the start: pyinstaller>=6.22 installs in its own pip command (requirements.txt pins packaging==20.1, which would otherwise drag pyinstaller down to 4.5.1, dead on Python 3.14), and the hidden-import gaps in the specs are fixed in #407, which this builds on. The frozen CLI was verified locally on macOS before this: 385 modules loaded, clean exit. The Windows arm64 leg is exploratory (PyMuPDF and pillow-heif wheel coverage there is unproven); fail-fast is off, so a red leg is information.
I will dispatch a run after merge and report.
