📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Ghostty CLI helper build script now supports safe, metadata-keyed binary caching. It validates cache entries, restores matching binaries, publishes builds atomically, and supports cache disabling. New shell tests cover reuse, tampering, and rebuild behavior.

Security Misconfiguration
Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-377 — Insecure Temporary File
Do not use /tmp as the implicit cache root.
When HOME is unset, a local user who can determine the current build metadata can pre-create the matching cache directory. The manifest and SHA-256 check do not authenticate either the metadata or the binary. No ownership, permission, or symlink validation protects the cache path before installation into $prefix/bin/ghostty.
Disable caching when HOME is unavailable. Alternatively, create a user-owned cache root with restrictive permissions and validate its path and entries before lookup or publication.

Problem
Every app/package build that needs the Ghostty CLI helper can rerun the same Zig helper build, even when the Ghostty revision, Zig toolchain, target, and macOS SDK are unchanged.
Change
Add a conservative local cache for the built Ghostty CLI helper. Cache entries are keyed by the Ghostty revision, helper script, Zig binary/version, requested/effective target, SDK, macOS version, and host architecture. Reads and writes are disabled for dirty Ghostty trees and can be explicitly disabled with
CMUX_DISABLE_GHOSTTY_HELPER_CACHE=1. Writes use temporary files and atomic renames.This keeps the existing build path as the fallback while allowing repeated local and self-hosted builds to reuse an exact helper artifact. Universal builds cache their two slices independently.
Validation
bash -n scripts/build-ghostty-cli-helper.sh tests/test_ghostty_cli_helper_cache.shtests/test_ghostty_cli_helper_cache.shtests/test_ghostty_zig_version_sync.sh(the script checks passed; the broader workflow scan in that test requires the checkout's missingbashlexPython dependency)git diff --checkThe new cache test uses a fake Zig executable to exercise build, reuse, byte identity, and the explicit disable switch without requiring a full Ghostty rebuild.

Previously every app/package build could rerun the same Ghostty CLI helper Zig build even when Ghostty, Zig, target, and SDK were unchanged. Adds a conservative local cache so repeated local and self-hosted builds reuse an exact helper artifact.
CMUX_DISABLE_GHOSTTY_HELPER_CACHE=1is set, with the existing build path as fallback; the cache directory can be overridden withCMUX_GHOSTTY_HELPER_CACHE_DIR.Written for commit 3914da5. Summary will update on new commits.
