# The build, on rickub. GitLab CI next door reads source and no more — # check-common on every push, the flake.lock nightly — and deliberately builds # nothing. This is the other half: the AppImage, actually realised, on a # machine that can hold libjoltcosmic's dependency tree. # # It does not realise it *here*. rickub runners are Linux x86-64 containers, # and `nix build .#appimage` on one is the same laptop-shaped death CLAUDE.md # warns about — so this job is a client. It hands the build to Modal, exactly # as a person at a terminal would, and the Sandbox on its real VM does the # work against the nix-cache volume. What a runner contributes is a checkout, # a python, and somewhere to put the result afterwards. # # Lives in .rickub/workflows/ rather than .github/workflows/ because rickub # reads one or the other and never both: with this directory present, a # .github/workflows/ added later would be silently ignored.
