release.yml runs the Server job on a persistent self-hosted runner while
ci.yml runs it on a fresh windows-2025 image, so only the release path
kept a MetasequoiaImeServer.exe alive between jobs. That leftover holds
Local\MetasequoiaImeServer_SingleInstance, the Server started by
probe-server.ps1 returns 0 straight out of the guard, and the probe then
completes its handshakes against the older build. Probes 1-4 pass because
they do not ask for CharacterSetShortcut; probe 5 does, the pre-6ff1cff
Server never advertises it, and the run dies on a capability mismatch that
nothing in the tree can explain. v0.6.3 and v0.6.4 both failed this way.
Stop any Server and Watchdog before starting one, and fail loudly if the
Server this script starts exits on its own.
Also stop test-server.ps1 from reporting every non-zero verify-contracts
exit as a lock mismatch. A dubious-ownership git failure on the same
runner surfaced as "The engine submodule does not match the product lock"
while the lock was correct.
Also ignore installer/LICENSE.txt, which Prepare-PackageFiles.ps1
generates from the repository LICENSE on every local packaging run.
Ports metasequoiaime/MSIME-Windows#153 onto the consolidated repository. That pull request was written against the six-repository layout: it edited product-ci.yml, which no longer exists, and re-pinned Server, UiHtml and Installer, which are directories now.
Three of its pinned commits had not reached this repository at all. The consolidation took each source repository at its main, and Server, UiHtml and Installer each landed two more commits afterwards, so dropping the pins as merely obsolete would have silently dropped the work the pull request exists to consume. The two substantive ones are ported here: Server drops its vendored miniaudio.h and builds against the engine's MetasequoiaIme::VoiceCapture, and the installer collects helpcodes from the engine. UiHtml's was an engine gitlink bump, which one submodule resolves on its own.
The engine is pinned to d0dc0c2b rather than to the b7c799ef that pull request named. b7c799ef predates 403b4a4d, which is what this repository pins today and is the commit that added pagination to the settings dictionary contract, so taking the pull request's pin verbatim would have reverted a contract main already depends on and stripped offset, limit and hasMore back out of the generated web bindings. d0dc0c2b is the engine's main and is the same commit the dictionary release declares as its source, so the code and the data now name one commit.
The helpcodes moved into the engine, so MSIME-HelpCode stops being a product input: the gitlink that pins the contracts pins the tables too. product-lock.json is down to the engine and the dictionary release, and the dictionary itself now ships from MSIME-Engine. Its manifest states which commit built the data and whether that tree was clean, and the lock verifies both, so matching digests can no longer stand in for a source nobody can rebuild from. The retired MSIME-Dict repository stays valid for the one tag that shipped from it and nothing else.
The release job that packages now checks out submodules, because the helpcodes it collects live in one.
The product lock existed because five repositories had to be pinned to reproduce one product. Four of them are directories now, so a commit of this repository already pins them and there is nothing left for the lock to say about them. What it still records is what the product consumes from outside: the engine submodule, the helpcodes and the dictionary release.
CI gains a job per component instead of a reusable workflow that checked out locked commits and rebuilt them. The release workflow no longer stages five sibling checkouts under historical names and no longer carries a second sparse checkout for its own scripts; Prepare-PackageFiles.ps1 already took the source directory names as parameters, so it is told the new ones, plus where the product-wide notice now lives.
Two checks the removed cross-repository pins used to provide are replaced in kind: the pages are verified against the engine submodule's web contract in CI rather than by locking UiHtml and Engine together, and the engine bump triage that Server carried moves here and now also says so when a bump leaves the lock behind.
