Platform-specific download URLs currently leave {{ version }} literal, so tools using versioned source archives cannot follow latest without a download hook or per-release URL edits. Render the selected URL with the existing backend template function to use the resolved tool version.

[tools."github:owner/tool"]
version = "latest"
strip_components = 1
platforms.macos-arm64.url = "https://github.com/owner/tool/archive/refs/tags/v{{ version }}.tar.gz"

The runtime change is one line in the shared GitHub, GitLab, and Forgejo backend. It also works with additional_asset_patterns for projects such as Mole that distribute scripts and compiled helpers separately. Configuration parsing is unchanged: existing platform functions and conditionals keep their host-based behavior. Use separate platform entries for target-specific URLs. No new options or dependencies are introduced.

Regression coverage parses real configuration for all three backends and checks resolved versions, flat and nested platform options, literal URLs, and conditional architecture selection. End-to-end coverage verifies installation with supplemental assets and locked reinstallation.

Validation: all 40 Git-backend tests pass, including conditional architecture selection across all three backends. Scoped hk checks and all three focused GitHub integration tests pass. The Mole registry entry installs successfully with this binary, including its analyze/status helpers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change renders version and target-platform templates in direct backend URLs. It adds cross-backend unit coverage, documents the URL options for GitHub, GitLab, and Forgejo, and adds an end-to-end installation and lockfile test.

Changes

Platform-specific URL templates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backend URL resolution and coverage
src/backend/github.rs
Platform-specific direct URLs are rendered for the selected version and target. Tests cover GitHub, GitLab, and Forgejo with nested, flat, conditional, and untemplated URLs.
Documentation and end-to-end validation
docs/dev-tools/backends/*.md, e2e/backend/test_github_url_template
Backend documentation describes templated platform URLs. The end-to-end test validates installation, supplemental assets, lockfile URLs, uninstall, and locked reinstall.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c6c99

Cross-platform lockfiles can contain the wrong download URL when direct URL templates use platform functions or conditionals. This should be corrected before merge.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; the resolved-version URL behavior is consistently implemented, documented, and covered by focused and end-to-end tests.

Summary

This PR enables resolved-version interpolation in platform-specific direct download URLs shared by the GitHub, GitLab, and Forgejo backends.

  • Renders {{ version }} after version resolution when constructing a direct release asset.
  • Preserves existing host-time evaluation of platform functions while selecting URLs through target-specific platform entries.
  • Adds regression coverage for configuration forms, fixed URLs, all three providers, supplemental assets, lockfile persistence, and locked reinstallations.
  • Documents platform-specific URL behavior across the three backends.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Resolve direct URL platform functions for the requested target.

The test and documentation use host-platform evaluation. This conflicts with target-specific URL resolution and can write an incorrect URL into a cross-platform lockfile.

  • src/backend/github.rs#L3141-L3145: derive the conditional URL from the target under test and ensure the platform expression remains available until target resolution.
  • docs/dev-tools/backends/github.md#L229-L231: state that direct URL platform functions and conditionals resolve for the requested target.
