Conversation
The Kotlin AAR and Swift xcframework builds are the slowest parts of the platform release and were running cold on hosted runners. Move them to the same persistent runners their PR CI siblings use (kotlin-ci and the macOS ARM64 box) so they reuse warm cargo caches, and adapt the jobs to persistent hosts: idempotent dependency checks instead of hosted-image assumptions, pinned cargo-ndk, cache-preserving git clean, and no hosted-image disk-space pruning. The maven-central-deploy job stays on a hosted runner so environment-scoped publishing secrets never reach the persistent machines.

actions/checkout v4 clean false existing .git post-checkout hook git checkout behavior
💡 Result:
In actions/checkout v4, the clean: false input instructs the action to skip the git clean -ffdx && git reset --hard HEAD command that normally runs before fetching [1][2]. This setting does not affect the standard operation of subsequent git checkout or git switch operations initiated by the action [3]. Regarding post-checkout hooks: 1. Triggering: The post-checkout hook is natively triggered by Git whenever a git checkout or git switch command successfully updates the working tree [4]. If actions/checkout performs a checkout operation, any correctly configured and executable post-checkout hook present in the repository's .git/hooks directory will be executed by Git [4]. 2. Behavior with existing .git: If you are using clean: false with an existing .git directory, the action will still attempt to prepare the repository for the requested ref [3]. If this process involves a Git command that updates the working tree (e.g., git checkout or git fetch followed by a reset/switch), the post-checkout hook will execute as per standard Git behavior [4]. 3. Execution Context: Note that GitHub Actions runners often have specific environment configurations. Ensure that your hook script is executable (e.g., chmod +x .git/hooks/post-checkout) and that its dependencies (like interpreters or path variables) are available within the runner's environment, as Git hooks do not automatically inherit the full environment of the CI job. In summary, clean: false simply prevents the action from proactively wiping your directory, but it does not disable Git's internal hook mechanisms. If the action's internal logic performs a checkout that triggers the hook, the hook will run [4].

Remove persisted Git metadata before the credentialed checkout.
clean: false preserves .git/hooks on both persistent self-hosted runners. A pull request job can leave an executable post-checkout hook in the workspace. actions/checkout can trigger that hook with the release job token before the later cleanup step. Delete .git before checkout, or use a fresh worktree outside the persistent cache path. Do not rely only on persist-credentials: false.

GitHub Actions jobs skipped when a needed job is skipped unless always() if condition official documentation
💡 Result:
According to official GitHub Actions documentation, a job that uses the needs keyword is dependent on its upstream jobs by default [1][2][3]. If any job in the dependency chain fails or is skipped, all downstream jobs that depend on it are automatically skipped [1][2][3]. To override this default behavior and allow a dependent job to run even if its upstream dependencies have failed or been skipped, you must include the always() conditional expression in the job-level if statement [1][2][3]. Key points regarding this behavior: 1. Default Dependency Logic: The needs keyword implies that all listed jobs must complete successfully [4][1][3]. A failure or skip in the upstream chain propagates downwards [5][6][1]. 2. Using always: When if: ${{ always() }} is specified for a job, it instructs GitHub Actions to execute that job after its dependencies have finished, regardless of their final status (success, failure, or skipped) [1][3]. 3. Granular Control: If you only want a job to run under specific outcomes (e.g., only if an upstream job was skipped, but not if it failed), you can combine always() with explicit status checks using the needs.<job_id>.result context [7][4][5]. For example: if: ${{ always && needs.my_job.result == 'skipped' }} Note that while always() ensures the job runs, it does not change the result status of the skipped upstream jobs themselves; it merely prevents the current job from being automatically skipped due to the upstream failure or skip [6].

Keep Dashmate package builds enabled for normal dispatches.
When only_drive is false and a workflow_dispatch tag does not start with npm-test:, build-npm and release-npm are skipped. release-dashmate-packages then skips because it needs release-npm, and the required js-build artifact is not produced. Use dependencies that run build-npm for normal dispatches and preserve NPM publish ordering for release events.

The Kotlin AAR, Swift xcframework, and JavaScript/WASM package builds are the slowest parts of a Platform release. They run cold on GitHub-hosted runners on every release. In recent releases the NPM job spent about 50 minutes building and less than one minute publishing, while the Swift job repeatedly hit its hosted 45-minute timeout and left releases without
DashSDKFFIassets.What was done?
Moved the expensive release builds onto the persistent self-hosted runners already used by their PR-CI siblings:
release-kotlin-sdk.yml/build-and-release:ubuntu-24.04→[self-hosted, kotlin-ci]release-swift-sdk.yml/build-and-release:macos-15→[self-hosted, macOS, ARM64]release.yml: split the NPM release into:build-npmon[self-hosted, kotlin-ci], which builds and uploadsjs-build-${{ github.sha }}release-npmonubuntu-24.04, which restores that artifact and performs only the trusted publishThe NPM publish remains GitHub-hosted because npm trusted publishing currently rejects self-hosted runners. The workflow filename and OIDC trust relationship are unchanged.
Adaptations for persistent hosts:
target/caches.cargo-ndk4.1.2,wasm-bindgen-cli0.2.108,wasm-pack0.15.0, protoc 32.0, Binaryen 121).id-tokenpermission. Its only Docker dependency is the public protoc image.Left on hosted runners deliberately:
maven-central-deploy, so environment-scoped Maven/GPG secrets never reach a persistent machine.Security notes
contents: read, no OIDC token, and no repository secrets.id-token: writeand runsnpm publish.How Has This Been Tested?
actionlintschema/expression validation and YAML parsing pass for the changed workflows; changed shell snippets are ShellCheck-clean.js-build-${{ github.sha }}artifact from the v4.2.0-dev.7 release extracts directly beneathpackages/, matching the new hosted publish handoff and existing CI consumers.Breaking Changes
