Targets
release/v5-prerelease(#277).v5 now ships through three distributions: standalone binaries via
install.socket.dev/patch(preferred), Cargo crates, and npm. npm remains available for the official Socket CLI. This removes the maintenance burden of publishing Python and Ruby wrappers while preserving Python and Ruby dependency patching and its compatibility coverage.Validation
scripts/release-lint.sh --sync-onlypassed. In a temporary checkout,scripts/bump-version.sh 5.0.0synchronized Cargo, all 15 npm packages, the npm lockfile, and release notes; the fullscripts/release-lint.sh 5.0.0gate passed.scripts/install.shbyte for byte.git diff --check, and actionlint for release/publish/version-bump workflows passed.ci.ymlhas 45 existing actionlint matrix-property diagnostics on the v5 base. Comparing diagnostics before and after this change found no additions.Note
Medium Risk
Large removal of publish paths and install channels affects every release and existing pip/gem users, though behavior is documented and covered by updated channel/migration tests.
Overview
v5 narrows how the CLI is shipped: standalone binaries (
install.socket.dev/patch), Cargo, and npm only. PyPI wheels, RubyGems launcher/bundler gems, their sources, tests,build-pypi-wheels.py, andpublish-pypi.yml/publish-rubygems.ymlare removed.Release and CI now fan out only to crates.io and npm (
release.ymldropspypi-publish/rubygems-publishjobs).version-sync.sh,release-lint, and bump scripts no longer touch Python/Ruby packaging. CI drops Ruby gem syntax checks and PyPI dispatch tests; ecosystem lint focuses on the installer and Python harness tests.User-facing docs (README, CHANGELOG, releasing runbook, CLI contract) promote the curl installer and add migration steps for
pip/gemusers and old install hooks.Self-update still detects legacy
site-packagesand gem launcher cache paths but refuses in-place updates and prints uninstall + standalone installer (Unix) or global npm (Windows) instead ofpip install --upgrade/gem update.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit bd40e28. Configure here.
