The post_install initializes var/archivebox as the data directory,
but users need to know where it is for subsequent commands. The
caveats block is shown after brew install/upgrade to guide users.

- preremove.sh: Stop the systemd service during upgrades (not just
remove/purge) so the running process doesn't use stale venv binaries
while postinstall replaces them. Only disable + remove venv on full
removal.
- debian.yml: Fail loudly when release lookup fails during a release
event (exit 1), but still skip gracefully for workflow_dispatch
manual testing (exit 0). Prevents silently broken .deb publication.
- archivebox.rb + build_brew.sh + homebrew.yml: Add post_install that
initializes ArchiveBox in var/archivebox with DATA_DIR set, using
correct Homebrew system() syntax (no env hash as first arg).

Remove all non-essential dependencies from both package formats.
The .deb now only depends on python3, pip, and venv. The brew
formula only depends on python@3.13. All other runtime deps
(node, chrome, yt-dlp, wget, ripgrep, etc.) are installed
on-demand by `archivebox install` at runtime.
Removed from brew formula:
- 6 depends_on entries (node, git, wget, curl, ripgrep, yt-dlp)
- on_linux block (pkg-config, openssl, libffi)
- post_install hook (was running archivebox install)
- service block (users run archivebox server directly)
Removed from .deb:
- 6 depends entries (nodejs, npm, git, wget, curl, ripgrep)
- recommends section (yt-dlp, ffmpeg, chromium)
Net: -126 lines across packaging files.

- Move .deb upload to GitHub Release into a separate job that runs after tests pass
- Fix workflow_call event propagation so release jobs run when called from release.yml
- Fix setup.sh post-install verification to check `which archivebox` first (works for brew/deb)
- Fix README.md: detect architecture with dpkg instead of hardcoding amd64
- Fix README.md: remove --setup flag from apt install instructions
https://claude.ai/code/session_01Vx1EsNrNySgsc8Y67dGzCn
- Remove --setup flag from systemd service and CI (not valid in 0.9.x)
- Remove release triggers from debian/homebrew workflows (handled by release.yml)
- Fix brew post_install to set DATA_DIR so it initializes in var/archivebox
- Add PATH export to deb wrapper script for bundled console scripts
- Remove pip install fallback in install.sh (strict version pinning)
- Guard preremove.sh cleanup to only run on remove/purge, not upgrade
- Initialize SDIST_URL/SDIST_SHA256 in build_brew.sh (nounset safety)
- Pin awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action to v1.6.0 (supply chain safety)
https://claude.ai/code/session_01Vx1EsNrNySgsc8Y67dGzCn
- test-parallel.yml: mkdir -p tests/out before pytest --basetemp
(fixes FileNotFoundError in chrome test fixture)
- debian.yml: fix archivebox add command (--parser url_list removed
in 0.9.x), remove || true so failures are caught
- setup.sh: revert apt section to always use pip install, not .deb
https://claude.ai/code/session_01Vx1EsNrNySgsc8Y67dGzCn
- Fix debian.yml: pin nfpm version, add permissions, improve test job
with user creation, init test, and status check
- Fix homebrew.yml: use PyPI JSON API (macOS-compatible, no grep -oP),
wait for PyPI availability on release, use generated formula not template,
add Linux (Linuxbrew) test job alongside macOS
- Add release.yml orchestrator: pip → deb + brew + docker in order
- Add workflow_call triggers to pip.yml and docker.yml
- Fix build_brew.sh: replace grep -oP with Python-based PyPI API,
add on_linux deps (pkg-config, openssl, libffi)
- Fix setup.sh: use GitHub API to find correct .deb download URL
(filename includes version number)
- Fix postinstall.sh: create archivebox system user, pin version from
package, check for systemd before daemon-reload
- Fix preremove.sh: stop service before removal, check for systemd
- Fix install.sh: fallback to latest if pinned version not on PyPI
- Add on_linux deps to brew formula for Linuxbrew support
- Tested: .deb builds, installs, creates user, runs archivebox init
https://claude.ai/code/session_01Vx1EsNrNySgsc8Y67dGzCn
- Add Homebrew formula (brew_dist/archivebox.rb) using virtualenv pattern
with auto-generation via homebrew-pypi-poet in bin/build_brew.sh
- Add Debian packaging via nFPM (pkg/debian/) with thin .deb that pip-installs
archivebox into /opt/archivebox/venv on postinstall
- Add build/release scripts: bin/{build,release}_{brew,deb}.sh
- Update CI workflows to build packages on release and test them
- Update README apt/brew install instructions with working commands
- Update bin/setup.sh to use .deb download instead of old Launchpad PPA

- Create uuid_compat.py module that provides uuid7 for Python <3.14
using uuid_extensions package, and native uuid.uuid7 for Python 3.14+
- Update all model files and migrations to use archivebox.uuid_compat
- Add uuid7 conditional dependency in pyproject.toml for Python <3.14
- Update requires-python to >=3.13 (from >=3.14)
- Update GitHub workflows, lock_pkgs.sh to use Python 3.13
- Update tool configs (ruff, pyright, uv) for Python 3.13
This enables running ArchiveBox on Python 3.13 while maintaining
forward compatibility with Python 3.14's native uuid7 support.
Update all references to Python 3.11 to use Python 3.14 to match
the pyproject.toml requires-python = ">=3.14" setting:
- bin/lock_pkgs.sh: uv venv --python 3.14
- .github/workflows/test.yml: python matrix and PDM version
- .github/workflows/pip.yml: PYTHON_VERSION env var
- Dockerfile: comment and example FROM line
- Issue templates: example version output
