Validation Gates

HostShift release candidates must pass more than unit tests.

Fast Gates

make test-go
make build
make test-integration-docker
make test-e2e-vm
make release-snapshot

Docker Matrix

Run the real SSH-driven Docker matrix:

HOSTSHIFT_RUN_DOCKER_MATRIX=1 make test-integration-docker

The matrix verifies cross-distro migrations, source immutability markers, file copy, MySQL restore, PostgreSQL restore, HTTP health, Laravel-style DB connectivity, and checksum assertions.

VM Apply Gate

Run the real Lima VM apply matrix locally or on the self-hosted hostshift-vm macOS runner:

HOSTSHIFT_RUN_VM_E2E=1 bash tests/e2e/vm/run-vm-e2e.sh --apply

The VM gate covers package installation, systemd behavior, firewall state, boot persistence, database parity, HTTP health, and source checksum immutability.

Release Artifacts

make release-snapshot must produce:

• dist/hostshift
• dist/checksums.txt
• dist/hostshift.sbom.spdx.json

Tagged releases also upload signed checksum artifacts and GitHub artifact provenance attestations.
