What changed

The repo had no workflows; both files are modeled directly on the example-plugin standard.

CI (ci.yml) — new file

  • fmt/clippy/test/build on 5 runners: ubuntu-latest, ubuntu-24.04-arm, macos-15, windows-latest, windows-11-arm.

Release (release.yml) — new file

  • Builds and tests (cargo test --release --locked, Cargo.lock is committed) 5 targets: x86_64/aarch64 Linux, aarch64 macOS, x86_64/aarch64 Windows.
  • Unix targets package .tar.gz via bash, Windows .zip via pwsh; archives contain the binary packaged under the plugin command name pdf plus plugin.toml and README.md, as both stable (pdf-<target>) and versioned (pdf-<version>-<target>) names.
  • Triggers on v* tags and workflow_dispatch; publishes via softprops/action-gh-release.

The new CI matrix validates these changes on this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Ready-to-download release archives are now published for supported Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms.
    • Each release includes the application binary and accompanying plugin and README files. Archives are available in stable and versioned formats, making it easier to identify the build you need and obtain the release associated with a specific version.

Test on Linux, macOS and Windows, x86-64 and ARM64 (ubuntu-24.04-arm and
windows-11-arm native runners), and publish matching release archives.
Release builds now run the test suite before packaging.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds CI checks for Rust changes and a release workflow that builds, packages, and publishes binaries for multiple targets.

Changes: Continuous Integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Matrix CI checks
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The workflow runs on pull requests and pushes to main. It checks formatting, runs Clippy with warnings denied, tests, and builds across platform runners. Clippy, tests, and builds use locked dependencies.

Release Builds and Publishing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release triggers and builds
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow supports version-tag pushes and manual dispatch. It builds and tests locked Rust releases across a target matrix.
Target-specific archives
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow packages the binary with plugin.toml and README.md into target-specific stable and versioned archives.
Artifact upload and release publishing
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow uploads build artifacts, downloads and merges them, then publishes the files to the release for the selected version or tag.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

The published release archives are likely to be unusable on a clean machine because the native Tika library is not packaged, and the Windows ARM CI job is expected to fail. Fix packaging and the matrix entry before merging; the permission and tag-handling hardening is smaller follow-up work.

Explanation

The title names the main change: adopting the example-plugin CI standard with ARM64 and Windows testing and releases. The changeset adds ci.yml (fmt, Clippy, tests, build on Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows, x86-64 and ARM) and release.yml (five-target build, packaging, and publishing). The title is specific and matches the objectives, though it does not mention the release workflow explicitly.

Remove windows-11-arm from the matrix until the Windows ARM64 native build is supported.

extractous 0.3.0 builds Tika with GraalVM in its build script. On Windows, its GraalVM installer accepts only x86_64 and panics for any other architecture (build.rs lines 296-302). On a cold windows-11-arm build, the script reaches that branch unless the runner image already provides a GraalVM JDK at JAVA_HOME. The workflow sets no GRAALVM_HOME or JAVA_HOME. Cargo runs this build script during clippy, test, and build, so the job fails before its checks run.

Re-add the entry after the build supports Windows ARM64. That change needs a GraalVM JDK for Windows ARM64, provided through GRAALVM_HOME, and confirmation that the extractous native build supports that target.

Disable checkout credential persistence.

actions/checkout@v4 keeps the token in local git configuration until post-job cleanup. Dependency build scripts can therefore read the token during the Cargo steps. Set persist-credentials: false; this job does not need authenticated Git operations after checkout. (github.com)

Restrict repository write permission to publish.

Workflow-level contents: write also grants repository write access to all five build jobs. Those jobs only need repository read access. Set the workflow default to contents: read, and grant contents: write under publish.permissions. GitHub supports job-level permission overrides. (docs.github.com)

Based on learnings: CI/CD jobs must use the minimum required token scopes.

Pass the selected version through an environment variable.

A valid tag such as v$(id) passes the v* trigger. Direct interpolation places its command substitution inside the generated Bash and PowerShell scripts. Double quotes do not prevent this execution. This requires permission to push the tag or dispatch its release; it is not an unauthenticated attack. Git permits these tag characters, and GitHub documents this interpolation hazard. (git-scm.com)

Set the selected version through step-level env. Read it with $RELEASE_VERSION in Bash and $env:RELEASE_VERSION in PowerShell before removing the prefix. (docs.github.com)

Package the native Tika library with each release binary.

The Unix packaging step copies only the executable and metadata. The binary loads libtika_native from the build tree, so an archive without that library cannot run on a clean machine. The Windows step has the same omission.

scripts/package.sh already implements the required handling for macOS. It copies the library beside the executable, rewrites the library install name and the executable's library reference, adds @loader_path, and re-signs both files. Reuse that logic in the release matrix, or apply the equivalent steps per target. On Windows, copy the Tika DLL beside pdf.exe. Confirm its file name and output location from the extractous build output before adding the copy.

Superseded by #2, which builds on this branch's commit and adds what this plugin needs on top of the template: libtika_native packaged beside the executable on each OS, a smoke test of each archive, the Windows port, and no Windows ARM (GraalVM has no native-image there).
