## Summary
This PR adds cross-compilation support for three new target platforms,
upgrades LLVM to 21.1.8, and overhauls the CI pipelines around
cross-builds and testing.
## Cross-compilation
New target triples accepted via `-DCLICE_TARGET_TRIPLE=...`:
| Target triple | Host | Output |
|---|---|---|
| `x86_64-apple-darwin` | macos-15 (arm64) | macOS x64 |
| `aarch64-linux-gnu` | ubuntu-24.04 (x64) | Linux arm64 |
| `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc` | windows-2025 (x64) | Windows arm64 |
- `cmake/toolchain.cmake` — maps `CLICE_TARGET_TRIPLE` to
`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`/`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR`/compiler `--target`; picks
up conda aarch64 sysroot when cross-compiling Linux.
- `cmake/llvm.cmake` — forwards target platform/arch to `setup-llvm.py`
so the right prebuilt LLVM is downloaded for the target.
- `CMakeLists.txt` — uses a host-side `flatc` from `PATH` under
`CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING` instead of the in-tree target build.
- `pixi.toml`:
- Adds `osx-64`, `linux-aarch64`, `win-arm64` platforms.
- New environments: `cross-macos-x64`, `cross-linux-aarch64` (adds
`gcc_linux-aarch64` + `sysroot_linux-aarch64`), `cross-windows-arm64`.
- New lightweight `test-run` env used on native ARM/x64 runners to
execute cross-built artifacts (pulls in upstream clang+lld on macOS so
tests don't fall back to Apple clang).
- `scripts/activate_cross_linux.sh` — exports `CONDA_PREFIX`-relative
paths for the aarch64 toolchain.
- `scripts/build-llvm.py` — `--target-triple` support and a
`build_native_tools()` helper that produces host `llvm-tblgen` /
`clang-tblgen` needed when cross-compiling LLVM itself.
## LLVM upgrade 21.1.4 → 21.1.8
- `cmake/package.cmake` bumps `setup_llvm("21.1.8")`.
- `config/llvm-manifest.json` regenerated with 6 new cross-compiled
entries and a new `arch` field on every entry so lookup is `(version,
platform, arch, lto, build_type)`.
- `scripts/setup-llvm.py` — honours the new `arch` field when resolving
artifacts.
- `scripts/update-llvm-version.py` (new) — single-call version bump
across `package.cmake` + manifest.
- `scripts/validate-llvm-components.py` (new) — scans the LLVM source
tree for library targets and diffs them against
`scripts/llvm-components.json` to catch stale/misspelled component names
before a build.
- `scripts/llvm-components.json` (new) — explicit allow-list of required
LLVM/Clang library targets used by `build-llvm.py`.
## CI changes
- `.github/workflows/build-llvm.yml`:
- Adds `workflow_dispatch` with `llvm_version`, `skip_upload`, `skip_pr`
inputs.
- Matrix extended with the 6 cross-compile entries (2 per new platform:
RelWithDebInfo ± LTO).
- `build clice` / test / prune steps gated on `!matrix.target_triple`
for cross-builds; cross-built LTO entries apply the native prune
manifest (arch-independent).
- Cross-compiled binary architecture is verified with `file(1)`.
- New `upload` job triggered by `workflow_dispatch` pushes artifacts to
`clice-io/clice-llvm` and hands the manifest off to the next job.
- `.github/workflows/test-cmake.yml`:
- Build matrix gains three `build_only: true` cross entries that upload
`bin/` + `lib/` artifacts.
- New `test-cross` job runs on native `macos-15-intel`,
`ubuntu-24.04-arm`, `windows-11-arm` runners, downloads the cross-built
artifacts, and runs unit / integration / smoke tests under the
`test-run` pixi env.
- Cache keys now include `target_triple` so native and cross builds
don't collide.
- `.github/workflows/publish-clice.yml`:
- Three additional release artifacts for the new targets
(`clice-x86_64-macos-darwin`, `clice-aarch64-linux-gnu`,
`clice-aarch64-windows-msvc`), each with a matching `-symbol` archive.
## Compatibility
- All existing native builds and tests are preserved; cross entries are
additive.
- `Debug` + ASAN remains disabled on Windows (`llvm_mode == Debug && os
== windows-*` no longer appends `-asan`).

## Summary
- **Remove xmake build system**: delete `xmake.lua`, `test-xmake.yml`
workflow, and all xmake-related pixi tasks
- **Migrate packaging to CMake**: `publish-clice.yml` now uses `cmake
-DCLICE_RELEASE=ON` instead of xmake pack
- **Clean up**: remove unused `tests/uv.lock`, `.xmake/` from
`.gitignore`, xmake references from docs
- **Benchmark CI**: change trigger from `pull_request` to
`workflow_dispatch` (manual only)
- **Simplify CLI parsing**: use `DecoKV(style =
KVStyle::JoinedOrSeparate)` in `clice.cc` and `unit_tests.cc`, replacing
verbose `DecoKVStyled` with manual `static_cast` bitmask; use comma
separators; explicit `names` only for underscore fields
## Test plan
- [x] `pixi run cmake-build RelWithDebInfo` compiles successfully
- [x] Verify `pixi run test` passes
- [x] Verify `pixi run package` produces correct archives via CMake
release build
- [x] Verify benchmark workflow can be triggered manually via `gh
workflow run benchmark`

## Summary
Add LSP trace recording and replay-based smoke testing infrastructure.
### clice changes (`src/clice.cc`)
- Add `--log-level` CLI option with validation (rejects unknown levels
instead of silently defaulting to off)
- Add `--record <path>` CLI option that wraps the transport with
`RecordingTransport` to capture client→server messages as timestamped
JSONL
- Works in both pipe and socket modes
- Fix exit code: `loop.run()` returns non-zero after `uv_stop()`,
explicitly return 0 after clean shutdown
### Compile logging (`src/compile/compilation.cpp`)
- Print compile commands at debug log level
### Replay script (`tests/replay.py`)
- Timestamp-based pacing: sleeps between messages based on recorded
intervals, faithful to original editor session
- Automatic workspace path rewriting: infers repo root from script
location, rewrites absolute paths in trace so CI replay works without
extra arguments
- Handles server→client requests (workDoneProgress/create,
registerCapability, etc.) with default responses
- Waits for all pending responses before sending shutdown/exit
- Detects server exit mid-replay and fails pending futures immediately
instead of hanging
- Reports PASS/FAIL/SKIP with stderr tail on failure
### CI & config
- Add `smoke-test` pixi task and CI workflow step (runs after
integration tests)
- `.gitattributes`: mark `tests/smoke/*.jsonl` as `linguist-generated
binary` to suppress diffs
- Add sample trace file `tests/smoke/session.jsonl`
### VSCode extension
- Add restart command (`clice.restart`)
- Support `CLICE_MODE` env var to override mode setting (for debug
launch configs)
- Split launch configs into socket/pipe variants with
`--disable-extensions`
## Test plan
- [x] `python tests/replay.py tests/smoke/session.jsonl --clice
./build/RelWithDebInfo/bin/clice` passes locally
- [ ] CI smoke test passes on Linux/macOS/Windows

## Summary
Improve CMake build system: cleaner separation, compiler caching, and
release packaging.
### Toolchain & Build
- Clean up `toolchain.cmake` to only contain clang/lld-specific setup
(compiler paths, linker selection, llvm tools), allowing other
toolchains like GCC to work without it
- Add ccache (Linux/macOS) and sccache (Windows) support via toolchain
auto-detection
- Move project-universal flags (`-ffunction-sections`, `--gc-sections`,
`-static-libstdc++`, etc.) to `CMakeLists.txt` so they apply regardless
of toolchain
- Add `-fno-exceptions` to project compile options; fix `/EHs-c-` for
proper MSVC exception disabling
- Use MSVC/clang-cl frontend detection instead of `WIN32` for
MSVC-specific linker flags
- Declare missing options: `CLICE_USE_LIBCXX`, `CLICE_OFFLINE_BUILD`,
`CLICE_ENABLE_BENCHMARK`, `CLICE_RELEASE`
### Release Packaging (`cmake/release.cmake`)
- Strip debug symbols and produce separate symbol archives (`.debug` /
`.dSYM` / `.pdb`)
- Windows: copy PDB via `$<TARGET_PDB_FILE:clice>`; macOS: use
`copy_directory` for dSYM bundle
- Package clice binary + clang resource dir + config into distributable
tarball/zip
- `cmake/archive.cmake` helper for cross-platform archive creation
- Activated via `-DCLICE_RELEASE=ON` (auto-enables LTO)
### Code Cleanup
- Replace manual 40+ line source file list with `GLOB_RECURSE` for
clice-core
- Fix duplicate `include_resolver.cpp` entry
- Use build-time `add_custom_target` for clang resource dir copy
(instead of configure-time `file(COPY)`)
- Gate `scan_benchmark` behind `CLICE_ENABLE_BENCHMARK` option
### CI
- Add compiler cache with env var control (`CCACHE_DIR`/`SCCACHE_DIR`)
and `actions/cache` for persistence
- Proper cache lifecycle: zero-stats before build, show-stats +
stop-server after
- Stop sccache server before pixi cleanup to fix Windows EBUSY error
- Pass `CLICE_ENABLE_BENCHMARK=ON` in benchmark workflow
- Platform-specific ccache/sccache dependencies in pixi.toml
## Test plan
- [x] Local build (RelWithDebInfo) passes
- [x] Local release build (LTO + strip + pack) produces correct archives
- [ ] CI: Linux Debug/RelWithDebInfo
- [ ] CI: macOS Debug/RelWithDebInfo
- [ ] CI: Windows Debug/RelWithDebInfo
- [ ] CI: Benchmark (all platforms)
