Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added a manually triggered packaging workflow for Linux AppImage installers (x86_64 and ARM64) and Windows installers.
  • Packaged installers are available as downloadable build artifacts.
  • Windows packaging now prepares pinned dependencies and generated headers automatically, supporting offline builds.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved dependency validation and packaging failure handling.
  • Native prebuilt exports can complete when translated shard output is unavailable.

• Documentation

  • Updated third-party notices to describe bundled Windows build dependencies.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a manual installer packaging workflow, Windows dependency preparation, improved installer failure handling, and native prebuilt export support.

Changes

Installer packaging

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Windows dependency preparation Launcher/Prepare-Dependencies.ps1	The new script validates pinned dependencies, downloads and extracts archives, and generates C++/WinRT headers.
Installer build integration Launcher/Build-Installer.ps1, THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md, runtime/CMakeLists.txt	Windows installer builds prepare missing dependency trees and use terminating errors for audit failures. Native prebuilt exports can proceed without translated shard output. The dependency notice documents bundled source trees.
Installer packaging workflow .github/workflows/package.yml, .github/workflows/build.yml	A manual workflow builds Linux AppImages for x86_64 and aarch64 and a Windows installer. The existing build workflow uses newer checkout and .NET setup actions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9bdb0

The PR adds CI packaging that uses unverified third-party archives and relies on Ubuntu 22.04 runners scheduled for deprecation, creating supply-chain and future build-availability risks; merge should wait for owner action or explicit acceptance.

Only marked as draft due to including the ARM PR referenced above. Ready once that is merged and I can rebase. At minimum this CI can be convenient way to build the appimages without needing ubuntu 22.04 x86_64 and arm64 linux setups, functional windows support can come later if needed if the dependency building/sourcing will take @patchzyy time to get back on.

[patchzyy]

Thanks,

Sources (plain release tarballs, unpatched): SDL3 release-3.4.4, abseil LTS 20240722, fmt 11.1.4, freetype 2.14.3, imgui 1.91.9b, libpng 1.6.58, sqlite 3.51.3 amalgamation, zlib 1.3.2, zstd 1.5.7, xxhash 0.8.3, tracy 0.13.3, libusb 1.0.30.
cppwinrt: headers generated from the Microsoft.Windows.CppWinRT nuget with cppwinrt.exe -input local -output cppwinrt + its LICENSE.txt.

dawn_prebuilt: encounter/dawn-build v20260603.191052 dawn-windows-x64.tar.gz, same URL aurora's AuroraDawnProvider.cmake uses.

Is that what you needed from me?

[patchzyy]

Also, native_prebuilt isn't fetchable, it's aurora and those libs compiled once with the shipped llvm-mingw so users don't have to.

Build-Installer.ps1 regenerates it by itself through Prepare-NativePrebuilt.ps1, the only reason that fails without a game dump is CmakeLists.txt dying on a missing shaders.cmake. which the prebuilt export doesn't actually use... (oops)

So for the Windows side: a script that fetches the pinned tarballs + dawn_prebuilt + generates cppwinrt, and make the CMakeLists tolerate the missing shard manifest (skip the include, set the counts to 0, behind a variable) so it can build without running a translation. I can do it if you don't want to, just say.

[theofficialgman]

@patchzyy if you could add whatever support you need on the windows side that would be preferable. sounds like you know what needs adjusting already. You can see here that Build-Installer.ps1 is failing due to not having an offline dependency source to refer to https://github.com/theofficialgman/Wiicompiled/actions/runs/33335366492/job/99321194192 . The installer seems to require folders to be setup before ever running but its not clear to me from the source what those need to be and what they need to contain (ideally the installer itself would set them up if they are missing, that seems to be what other users expect

[patchzyy]

I cant run the workflow from here since changes live on your repo, Can you press "Run workflow" on your side to make sure everything works as intended?

[patchzyy]

btw all of the programs that were used are referenced here https://github.com/patchzyy/Wiicompiled/blob/main/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md under "Fetched at build time and redistributed in release builds"

[theofficialgman]

This appears to have worked https://github.com/theofficialgman/Wiicompiled/actions/runs/33443424259

Good starting point at least for CI. If we are going to run this a lot, then it probably makes sense to think about CI caching results, but for releases it is fine.

[theofficialgman]

also, fyi, I typically prefer to use the "rebase and merge" option in github rather than the standard "merge" (you will find a dropdown on the merge button). it keeps the history linear in the main tree which makes it easier to read.

26-29: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Move the AppImage jobs to a supported Ubuntu image before merge.

GitHub will begin deprecating ubuntu-22.04 and ubuntu-22.04-arm on September 17, 2026, with full removal on April 17, 2027. After removal, this workflow cannot produce either AppImage. Select a supported replacement and revalidate libfuse2 installation and Launcher/build-appimage.sh on that image.
