fix(release): install verified cargo-binstall binary directly

[ktechmidas]

Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Same release bootstrap defect as #5203: cargo-binstall1.10.11 downloaded a prebuilt binary, then redundantly reinstalled itself; a GitHub timeout caused an unlocked, incompatible source fallback.

What was done?

Propagate the identical, checksum-verified direct install to v5.0-dev. The source Dockerfile was byte-for-byte identical to v4.2 (blob6984e3ad); the repaired Dockerfile is also identical (blob147093ca). One file only, no application history or contributor branch changes.

• Directly install the verified1.10.11 archive binary for AMD64/ARM64.
• Pin both archive SHA256 values; bounded HTTPS retries and installed-version check.
• Preserve the tool version and downstream locked installations.

How Has This Been Tested?

Both official archives downloaded and checksum/member checks passed. Exact repaired installation block executed in an isolated2CPU/2GiB AMD64 container with real Cargo: version1.10.11 verified. Reused that evidence because source and result blobs are identical across all three branches. Shell syntax and diff checks pass. ARM64 binary execution/full application image builds are not claimed complete; normal hosted CI/review remains required.

Breaking Changes

None. Removes the unintended self-compilation path. Existing release tags are unchanged and no workflow rerun/publication is requested.

Checklist

• One-file change; identical patch validated against this branch
• Real AMD64 installation proof, both archive checksums pinned
• Hosted checks and independent reviews complete

Additional native ARM64 validation — 2026-09-29 16:37 UTC

infraclaw verification update (not a personal review/approval by the protected transport account):

• Native Linux aarch64 execution now passed, not QEMU and not an archive-only check. The unchanged cargo-binstall RUN body was extracted from Dockerfile blob 147093ca4bcc3df5e77d0e47501548444cc63711, which is identical across fix(release): install verified cargo-binstall binary directly #5203/fix(release): install verified cargo-binstall binary directly #5204/fix(release): install verified cargo-binstall binary directly #5205. The architecture-selected official archive passed its embedded SHA-256 check; extraction/direct installation succeeded; the exact final cargo binstall -V | grep -Fx "${BINSTALL_VERSION}" returned 1.10.11, exit 0.
• The temporary, unregistered container used existing immutable ARM64 image sha256:2ef7934f6877b4b78bdc3d4b81c07ee260d1648c0338c86145cec02760390a24, nonroot UID/GID 1001, 1 CPU, 512 MiB, 64 PIDs, read-only root, temporary writable filesystems, drop-all capabilities and no-new-privileges. No CI token, secret mount, Docker socket, device or persistent volume was supplied. The container is absent afterward; no volumes were created. The ordinary worker's ID/image/start time/resource limits/restart count are unchanged.
• The first synthetic harness attempt used UID 0 with all capabilities dropped and could not access the image's user-owned Cargo path; its downloaded archive verified and it cleaned up. Only the disposable harness was corrected to the image's intended nonroot identity. No Dockerfile, runner or workflow was changed for the passing proof.
• Together with the previous AMD64 install check, this covers native installation/version checks on both architectures. It is not a full multi-stage Platform image build, application/test result, or replacement for the normal independent review/PR Hygiene gates. The PR's normal Docker jobs were skipped; that limitation remains explicit. No release retry, retag or publication was performed.

✅ Final review complete — no blockers (commit 8a8ac2c) · triage: low · Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

[thepastaclaw]

Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

Verified the exact-head, one-file Dockerfile change against the supplied Phase-2 reviews; no actionable in-scope defects were found. The installation checks the architecture-specific archive checksum before extraction, installs directly into the inherited Cargo directory, verifies the installed version, and preserves downstream locked installations. Shell syntax and diff checks passed locally; release-archive checks, native execution, and full image builds were not independently repeated during this verification.

Review provenance

Source: reviewer 1: gpt-6-astra (agent: phase2-reviewer, role: general); reviewer 2: gpt-6-astra (agent: phase2-reviewer, role: architecture-layering); final verifier: gpt-6-astra (agent: astra-verifier, role: final-verifier)

• Triage: low by gpt-6-astra (effort low) — This is a small, self-contained Dockerfile installation fix that changes build tooling behavior but does not affect application logic or any critical surface.
• Phase 1 reviewers: not run (skipped for throughput: 13 PRs queued, above the 10 limit)
• Fresh verifier: gpt-6-astra — final-verifier; agent astra-verifier
• Phase 2 reviewers: gpt-6-astra — general (completed, effort medium); agent phase2-reviewer, gpt-6-astra — architecture-layering (completed, effort medium); agent phase2-reviewer
