The v1.4.0 release went out and the feed came back readable, with this in it:
"browser_download_url":
"http://57.129.89.117:25001/kw/woocommerce-email-discount-manager/..."
That field is filled from the forge's own configured root URL, which is not
necessarily the address the outside world reaches it on. A shop handed that
would be downloading plugin code over plain HTTP from a raw IP on a
non-standard port, bypassing the Cloudflare tunnel in front of gitea.nolimit.dk
and breaking the day that address changes.
parse_release() now rebuilds both the package and the release-page address from
the repository address in the plugin header, which is the one place that
already had to be right for any of this to work. tests/smoke.php pins it with
the exact response the live feed returned.
The release check had the same bug from the other end, and a worse version of
it: it verified the address the API reported rather than the one the plugin
builds, so it was a green check on a URL no shop ever uses. It now downloads
the package the plugin would download and opens the zip to confirm it is the
plugin and not an error page with a 200 on it.
And it only runs on the forge named in "Update URI". The other one is a mirror;
requiring a mirror to be anonymously readable failed the GitHub half of the
v1.4.0 release for a repository that is private on purpose.
ci/update-smoke.sh is the check none of the above can stand in for: install the
previous version into a throwaway shop and let WordPress find, download and
install the new one by itself. Every piece can be individually correct and the
update still not arrive.
