fix(ci): preserve executable bit for mac binaries by ruomengz · Pull Request #26600 · google-gemini/gemini-cli

ruomengz · 2026-05-06T18:30:39Z

Summary

This PR ensures that macOS binaries downloaded from GitHub Actions artifacts maintain their executable permissions during the release publishing workflow.

Details

The actions/download-artifact action sometimes fails to properly map and restore macOS file modes (like +x) when extracting onto a Linux file system (which happens when transferring from a macos-latest builder to an ubuntu-latest release runner). This adds a chmod +x step immediately after downloading the binaries to manually guarantee the executable bit is set before zipping them for release.

How to Validate

Run the release workflow.
Download the resulting Mac .zip files from the artifacts or draft release.
Extract the .zip file on a Mac.
Verify the gemini binary has the +x bit set and is directly executable.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request improves the reliability of the release publishing process by ensuring that macOS binaries retain their executable permissions. By manually applying the necessary file modes before zipping, the workflow now correctly handles cross-platform artifact transfers, preventing issues where binaries would arrive in a non-executable state.

Highlights

Binary Permissions: Added explicit chmod +x commands for macOS binaries to ensure they remain executable after being processed in the release workflow.
CI/CD Reliability: Addressed an issue where GitHub Actions artifact downloads on Linux runners would strip executable bits from macOS binaries.
