Hone Build

Perry-compiled build coordinator that bridges the Hone marketplace to perry-hub for cross-platform plugin compilation.

When a plugin is published, hone-build submits compilation jobs to perry-hub workers (macOS, Linux, Windows), receives the compiled binaries, and stores them for the marketplace to serve.

Architecture

Publisher ──POST /upload──▶ hone-build ──curl──▶ Perry Hub

Workers compile

Users ──GET /api/v1/pkg/──▶ marketplace serves download

• Perry-compiled Fastify server — same pattern as hone-auth (653 lines, single src/app.ts)
• MySQL — shared database with hone-marketplace (buildJobs table)
• Outbound HTTP via execSync + curl (Perry can't use fetch() in server context)
• Artifact storage — compiled binaries in shared data/packages/ directory

Perry-Hub Integration

hone-build submits builds to perry-hub with build_type: "plugin" in the manifest. Workers should skip packaging/signing/publishing stages and return the raw compiled binary.

Manifest format:

{
"app_name": "prettier-hone",
"bundle_id": "codes.hone.plugin.prettier-hone",
"version": "2.1.0",
"entry": "src/index.ts",
"targets": ["macos"],
"build_type": "plugin"
}

Perry Builder Worker Change Required

In perry-builder/macos/src/build/pipeline.rs, add early return for plugin builds:

if manifest.build_type.as_deref() == Some("plugin"){// Compile only — skip bundling, signing, publishingreturnOk(actual_binary);}
