name: Build Slint (linux)
# Builds the Slint app on a stock GitHub-hosted runner. The wall is the qbz_ui
# rustc (the generated Slint UI = ONE ~1.6M-line module): its peak memory DEMAND
# is ~30 GB (measured RSS+Swap, 2026-06) and it is FRONTEND-bound — codegen knobs
# (codegen-units, opt-level, CARGO_BUILD_JOBS, -Z threads) barely move it (jobs=1
# only shaved ~3 GB vs cargo defaults). So the build is NOT made to fit by tuning;
# it is made to fit by giving it enough RAM+SWAP to hold ~30 GB. A stock
# `ubuntu-24.04` runner has ~16 GB RAM, so this job adds a large swapfile so
# RAM(16) + swap(~4 base + 18) ≈ 38 GB comfortably exceeds the ~30 GB demand: the
# resident working set stays near RAM size while cold pages page out (slow but it
# completes). The MIN-tier rustc env below keeps the resident set as low as
# possible. rust-cache (added below) makes this heavy compile happen ONCE per
# qbz_ui change, not on every push — that, not the peak, is the minute saver.
# Build-only for now (no signing/bundling).
on:
# Manual trigger ONLY (pick the ref in the Actions UI). Repo policy: public
# workflows fire on release tags, never on plain pushes — a push to main IS
# a release merge, and the tag that follows immediately fires the real
# release builds, so an auto-build here would just double-burn ~2h of
# runner time for nothing.
workflow_dispatch:
# A new push to slint-mvp cancels the older in-flight build — only the latest
# commit matters, and stacked ~20-min builds are the main minute-burn.

- name: Rust toolchain (pinned dated nightly — build uses -Z threads)
# Pinned (not floating @nightly) so rustc -V is byte-stable across runs:
# rust-cache embeds the rustc version in its key, and a floating nightly
# re-keys the cache + invalidates every Cargo fingerprint daily (the
# from-scratch-every-run waste). Bump this date deliberately when a newer
# nightly feature is actually needed.

- name: Cargo cache (Swatinem/rust-cache)
# THE biggest minute-saver: caches ~/.cargo + crates/target so a push
# that only touches controllers restores the prebuilt qbz-ui rlib (the
# ~20 GB / ~20-min compilation unit) instead of recompiling it; only the
# cheap qbz bin then rebuilds + links. `workspaces` MUST point at crates/
# (manifest is crates/Cargo.toml, artifacts land in crates/target — not
# the default `. -> target`). save-if gates cache WRITES to slint-mvp so
# dispatch/PR runs read but don't churn the 10 GB Actions cache budget.
