chore: promote homebrew-core as primary macOS install path#299
Merged
Conversation
…y tap The stable `hookdeck` formula now lives in homebrew-core (merged 2026-06-04) and is auto-bumped by Homebrew's BrewTestBot. The third-party `hookdeck/homebrew-hookdeck` tap continues to host only `hookdeck-beta` (homebrew-core does not accept pre-releases). The brews block now uses a fixed `hookdeck-beta` name with `skip_upload` gated to pre-release tags, so stable releases will no longer overwrite the tap's `hookdeck.rb`. A follow-up PR on the tap repo removes the stale stable formula files and adds `tap_migrations.json` to redirect existing tap users to homebrew-core.

`hookdeck` is now in homebrew-core, so the default macOS install is `brew install hookdeck` (no tap, no trust step). The third-party tap is demoted to "for beta releases only" with a note about the upcoming `HOMEBREW_REQUIRE_TAP_TRUST` default flip. Replaces the stale Troubleshooting entry (cask-migration leftover from an abandoned cask plan) with three relevant entries: tap → homebrew-core migration, hookdeck/hookdeck-beta link conflicts, and beta tap-trust.

…k.rb The GoReleaser brews block now produces `hookdeck-beta.rb` only (the stable `hookdeck` formula lives in homebrew-core). The test-homebrew-build CI was still validating `dist/homebrew/Formula/hookdeck.rb`, which no longer exists. Updates: - `test-scripts/test-homebrew-build.sh`: validate_formula now reads `hookdeck-beta.rb`; the install-test path (gated by `--install` flag, workflow_dispatch only) targets the `hookdeck-beta` formula name. - `.github/workflows/test-homebrew-build.yml`: upload artifact path updated to `hookdeck-beta.rb`. Verified locally: `./test-scripts/test-homebrew-build.sh` exits 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The validation script's header and success summary still claimed to verify that the formula contains deprecation warnings — a leftover from when the tap's `hookdeck.rb` carried a "being deprecated in favor of cask" notice. That notice was removed from the tap formula a while back, and there has been no actual `grep` check for deprecation warnings in this script. Drops the two stale lines.

Summary
Follow-up to the homebrew-core acceptance (merged 2026-06-04 via Homebrew/homebrew-core#286152). Updates this repo to reflect homebrew-core as the canonical stable install path, with the third-party
hookdeck/homebrew-hookdecktap retained only for beta. Tracked in #297.Two logical commits:
chore(release): stop publishing stable hookdeck formula to third-party tap—.goreleaser/mac.ymlbrews block now uses a fixedhookdeck-betaname withskip_uploadgated to pre-release tags. Stable releases no longer try to publishhookdeck.rbto the tap (the tap's stale formula files will be removed in a follow-up PR on the tap repo, replaced bytap_migrations.jsonredirecting to homebrew-core).docs(readme): promote homebrew-core as the primary macOS install path— README macOS section, Releasing section, and Troubleshooting all updated. The stale "Homebrew: Binary Already Exists Error" troubleshooting entry (leftover from the abandoned cask migration) is replaced with three relevant entries: tap-to-core migration, hookdeck/hookdeck-beta link conflicts, and beta tap-trust note.Sequencing — important
This PR must merge before the tap migration PR on
hookdeck/homebrew-hookdeck. Otherwise a future stable release could re-publishhookdeck.rbto the tap (GoReleaser config not yet updated) and undo the migration.Order:
