CI helpers for setup-host releases

Shared scripts and GitHub Actions so every PSXRecomp title uses one standardized release flow.

Start here: ../GAME_PROJECT_SETUP.md

Workflow template

New Project Layout (tools/new_project_layout/setup_project.{sh,ps1}) copies this template into the title repo and replaces YOUR_* / yourgame-release using --zip-prefix (or a derived acronym) plus the window title. It also writes scripts/package_setup_release.sh, README.md, and an optional framework_pins.txt snapshot, and can opt in wizard/netplay via --enable-wizard / --enable-netplay. Release CI pins via submodule gitlinks and only logs SHAs with record_pins.sh (no verify_pins gate).

Migrating an older title onto this CI shape: Project Studio (tools/new_project_layout/migrate_project.py apply / gui) emits the same packager + filled release.yml. Setup-host only — no prebuilt game-C zips.

Manual:

mkdir -p .github/workflows
cp psxrecomp/docs/ci/templates/setup-release.yml .github/workflows/release.yml
# edit YOUR_* placeholders — or use fill_tokens.py --ci-placeholders
# Release name is YAML-quoted so titles with ':' (e.g. Marvel vs. Capcom: …) parse.

Template: templates/setup-release.yml

Host-only model / player updates: HOST_ONLY_RELEASES.md (CI never ships game C; RetComM Update reuses codegen-cache for host/UI bumps; reuse_cached_emitters + ccache speed up release jobs when the psxrecomp pin is unchanged).

Matrix: ubuntu-24.04 (linux-x64), windows-2022 (windows-x64), macos-15 (macos-arm64), macos-15-intel (macos-x64).

Release hosts always configure with Vulkan headers + glslc (MSYS2 / apt / Homebrew packages), verify vulkan.h + glslc before configure, and fail the job if CMake does not select PSX_HAVE_VULKAN. Runtime still loads the ICD dynamically via SDL; CI only needs headers and the shader compiler.

Tools under psxrecomp/tools/

Script	Role
ci/normalize_version.sh	Normalize / write VERSION + TAG
ci/clear_generated.sh	Clear generated/ for setup-host CI
ci/record_pins.sh	Log psxrecomp / recomp-ui / recomp-net SHAs (CI + scaffold)
ci/verify_pins.sh	Optional local check vs framework_pins.txt (not used by release CI)
ci/build_emitters.sh	Build psxrecomp-game + psxrecomp-bios
fetch_toolchain.sh	Download/unpack cmake-clang-v1 (Windows emitter builds; optional embed)
stage_setup_sdk.sh	Emitters, OpenBIOS, optional toolchain/, MinGW DLLs
bundle_mingw_dlls.sh	Copy imported non-system DLLs next to Windows PEs
package_setup_host.sh	Lean setup-host zip (optional --embed-toolchain)
../cmake/toolchain-mingw-w64.cmake	Linux→Windows MinGW cross toolchain
../host/psxrecomp_codegen_host.*	Portable Generate & rebuild host (via CMake helper)
templates/game.gitignore	Suggested gitignore for title repos

Also use psxrecomp_add_game_runtime(...) in runtime/runtime.cmake for setup-host / full-game wiring. The CLI (psxrecomp_cli.py) lives in this submodule — there is no separate psxrecomp-sdk/ overlay.

Composite actions

- uses: ./psxrecomp/.github/actions/build-emitters

# Prefer package_setup_host.sh (allow-no-toolchain by default).
# fetch-toolchain + --embed-toolchain only for offline-first packs.
- uses: ./psxrecomp/.github/actions/stage-setup-sdk
  with:
    stage: dist/stage-setup-${{ matrix.artifact }}
    recompiler-build: build-recompiler
    allow-no-toolchain: 'true'
    runtime-bin: /mingw64/bin   # Windows / MSYS2

Title responsibilities

Keep only this in the game repo:

• Setup-host CMake flags and exe basename
• Thin codegen_setup.c / .h with psx_game_codegen_forward_if_built (scaffold: tools/new_project_layout/templates/codegen_setup.c.in)
• For netplay titles: PSX_NETPLAY ON before include(runtime.cmake) (ENABLE_NETPLAY_IF_PRESENT alone is too late), plus -DPSX_NETPLAY=ON in the release workflow configure step
• Thin scripts/package_setup_release.sh wrapping package_setup_host.sh
• Zip prefix / display name / disc hint in that wrapper
• Release notes / GitHub Release job naming

Release CI configures with -DPSXRECOMP_FORCE_SETUP_HOST=ON, -DPSXRECOMP_ALLOW_NO_BIOS=ON, and -DPSX_SETUP_WIZARD=ON after clear_generated.sh. Titles must also set PSX_SETUP_WIZARD / ENABLE_SETUP_WIZARD in CMakeLists.txt — without the wizard flag the setup-host zip never opens first-run / Generate & rebuild. The zip ships emitters + OpenBIOS.toml; end users Generate (OpenBIOS always; SCPH1001 if they have a dump) via the wizard, then rebuild.
