The in-box Windows shell (5.1, .NET Framework) is the baseline we must
support; PowerShell 7 is an opt-in install most users don't have.
- arch detection: read PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE/ARCHITEW6432 from the
environment instead of RuntimeInformation::OSArchitecture, which
resolves from a .NET Framework facade lacking that property under 5.1
and throws under StrictMode (the reported failure).
- force TLS 1.2 before any web request (5.1 may default to TLS 1.0/1.1).
- pass -UseBasicParsing to Invoke-WebRequest (5.1 otherwise uses the IE
engine and can fail when it is absent).
All three are no-ops on PowerShell 7. Relates to ADR-0055.
Distribution prep on the road to public availability (plan steps 2–3a).
- Cargo.toml: publish-ready (drop publish=false; homepage/keywords/
categories/exclude) + [package.metadata.binstall] with per-target
overrides (linux-gnu->musl, windows-msvc->gnu/gnullvm). dry-run clean.
- scripts/install.ps1: Windows `irm | iex` one-liner — written but
untested here (no PowerShell; validate on Windows). README Windows block.
- README.md (new); LICENSE-MIT + LICENSE-APACHE (dual, (c) Lazy
Evaluation Ltd); CONTRIBUTING.md (inbound=outbound dual-license note).
- ADR-0055 Amendment 1 (install.ps1), ADR-0056 (crates.io/binstall),
README index + plan updates.
The actual `cargo publish` remains a gated maintainer step (token,
irreversible) at a new tagged release; real cargo-binstall validation
pending.
scripts/install.sh — POSIX sh, shellcheck-clean: detects uname OS/arch ->
target triple (Linux uses the static musl build; Windows rejected with a
Scoop/winget pointer), resolves the latest release (or RDBMS_VERSION),
downloads the asset + its .sha256 and verifies it, installs to
~/.local/bin with a PATH hint. RDBMS_OS/RDBMS_ARCH + --print-target are
testing seams. Verified end-to-end against the live public v0.1.0 (all
mappings, pinned + latest, checksum incl. tamper-rejection, install+run).
ADR-0055 + README index; plan-doc step 2 done + decisions recorded
(crates.io=yes, releases public, tracking via doc+ADR).
