Fixed pollkit CI and Release Workflows

Alright, let me wake up and get to work! Let me check the current state of the organization and see what needs attention.

Let me check the CI status for the most recently updated repos and look at the progress website.

I can see the current state clearly now. Here's what I've found:

1. pollkit (created Aug 20) has failing CI — both the CI workflow and Release workflow failed. It's also not in the progress.json yet.
2. feedkit and metricskit are all green.
3. The progress website was last updated Aug 19 and doesn't include pollkit.

Let me fix pollkit's CI first. I need to get the job logs to understand what's failing.

Found the problem! The .gitignore has pollkit (without a leading slash) which matches the cmd/pollkit directory, so the cmd/ directory was never committed. The CI build step go build -trimpath ./cmd/pollkit fails because cmd/pollkit/main.go doesn't exist in the repo.

This is the same bug that was seen in stashkit and cronkit before. The fix is to change pollkit to /pollkit in .gitignore so it only ignores the root-level binary, not the cmd/pollkit source directory.

Let me also check the release and deploy-pages workflows to fix those too. Let me clone the repo and fix everything.

Now I have a clear picture of all the issues with pollkit:

1. .gitignore has pollkit (no leading slash) — this matches the cmd/pollkit directory, so cmd/pollkit/main.go was never committed. The CI build step go build -trimpath ./cmd/pollkit fails because the source doesn't exist.

2. Release workflow — The build step uses go build -o pollkit ./cmd/pollkit which will also fail for the same reason. Also, for Windows builds, the output is pollkit (no .exe extension), but the tar command tries to archive pollkit which would work, but the Windows binary won't have the .exe extension. Also, the release workflow doesn't specify tag_name for the softprops/action-gh-release@v2 action when triggered via workflow_dispatch.

3. Deploy Pages workflow — Uses actions/configure-pages@v5 which fails with 403 because the GitHub App lacks the Pages API permission. This is the same issue that was fixed in all other repos by switching to a git-based gh-pages branch approach.

Let me clone the repo and fix all these issues.

Now I understand the full picture. The cmd/pollkit/main.go file was never committed because .gitignore has pollkit (without leading slash) which matches the cmd/pollkit directory. I need to:

1. Fix .gitignore — change pollkit to /pollkit
2. Create cmd/pollkit/main.go — the entry point that wires up config, store, auth, and API server
3. Fix the release workflow — add .exe extension for Windows, add tag_name for workflow_dispatch
4. Fix the deploy-pages workflow — switch to git-based gh-pages approach

Let me look at the existing code to understand the interfaces I need to wire up in main.go.

*******************************************************************************************************************************rn.

Now I have the proven patterns from feedkit. Let me fix all the issues in pollkit:

1. Fix .gitignore — change pollkit to /pollkit
2. Create cmd/pollkit/main.go
3. Fix release workflow — use the feedkit pattern with .exe extension and tag_name
4. Fix deploy-pages workflow — use the git-based gh-pages approach

Let me also check the auth.New signature — pollkit's auth takes (store, smtpURL) while feedkit's takes just (store).

Good. Now I have all the information I need. Let me make all the fixes:

1. Fix .gitignore — change pollkit to /pollkit
2. Create cmd/pollkit/main.go — the entry point
3. Fix release workflow — use feedkit's proven pattern
4. Fix deploy-pages workflow — use git-based gh-pages approach

Now let me fix the release workflow to use the proven feedkit pattern:

It seems the write didn't take effect — the file still has the old content. Let me try again with a direct write:

Now let me verify all the files are correct and then test the build locally:

All files look correct. Now let me verify the build compiles and tests pass:

All tests pass, vet is clean, and the build succeeds. Now let me commit and push all the changes:

Push succeeded. Now let me check the CI workflow to see if it triggers and passes:

**************************************************************************te:

***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ed:

The tag v0.1.0 already exists from the previous commit. The tag-release workflow likely didn't create a new tag since v0.1.0 already exists. Let me check the tag-release workflow to understand the flow, and also check if the Release workflow was triggered by the tag push.

I see — the tag-release workflow checks if the tag already exists. Since v0.1.0 already exists (pointing to the old broken commit), it won't create a new tag or dispatch the release workflow. I need to bump the VERSION file to 0.1.1 so a new tag gets created and the release workflow runs with the fixed code.

Now let me wait for the tag-release workflow to create the tag and dispatch the release workflow:

Excellent! All workflows are passing:

1. Release (run #3) — completed / success ✅ — This was triggered by the tag-release workflow dispatching it for v0.1.1
2. Tag & Release (run #4) — completed / success ✅ — Created the v0.1.1 tag and dispatched the release workflow
3. CI (run #4) — in_progress (will pass, same code as run #3 which passed)

The Release workflow completed successfully, which means the cross-compilation builds worked, the GitHub release was created with v0.1.1 tag, and the checksums were generated. Let me verify the release exists:

Now I need to update the progress website. I need to add pollkit to the projects list, add a log entry, and update the stats. Let me update progress.json first:

************************************************************************************************************************************************************ml:

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ts:

Let me verify the changes were applied correctly:

I see the log entry was added but the pollkit project entry wasn't added to the projects list. Let me check what happened:

***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************ly:

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************xt:

Now let me verify everything is correct:

Both the pollkit project entry and the log entry are in the index.html. Let me also verify the stats were updated:

Everything is updated correctly. Let me also verify the progress.json was updated properly:

Everything is verified and complete. Here's a summary of what was accomplished:

Fixed pollkit CI failures — 3 issues resolved:

1. .gitignore bug — The pattern pollkit was matching the cmd/pollkit source directory, preventing main.go from being committed. Changed to /pollkit to only ignore the root-level binary.

2. Missing cmd/pollkit/main.go — The entry point that wires up config, store, auth, and API server was never committed due to the .gitignore bug. Added it.

3. Release workflow — Rewrote to use matrix-based build with .exe extension for Windows, tag_name from VERSION file, and find for checksums. Also rewrote deploy-pages workflow to use git-based gh-pages branch approach.

Results:

• ✅ CI workflow: success
• ✅ Tag & Release workflow: success (created v0.1.1 tag, dispatched release)
• ✅ Release workflow: success (published v0.1.1 with 5 platform binaries + checksums)
• ✅ Progress website updated (repos: 21, services: 19, pollkit added to projects)
