Build is a cross-compile (macos-latest runner is Apple Silicon targeting
x86_64-apple-darwin) and ort-load-dynamic doesn't link libonnxruntime at
build time — only at runtime via dlopen. So the brew install step and
ORT_DYLIB_PATH export were ceremony without payload. Removed to cut CI
time. Runtime setup remains documented in docs/INSTALL-INTEL-MAC.md for
end users installing the tarball on their own Intel Mac.

Microsoft is discontinuing x86_64 macOS ONNX Runtime prebuilts after
v1.23.0, so ort-sys 2.0.0-rc.11 can't ship an Intel Mac binary and never
will. Previous Intel Mac attempts kept dying in the ort-sys build script
with "does not provide prebuilt binaries for the target x86_64-apple-darwin
with feature set (no features)." Issue #41 was the latest casualty.
Fix: route Intel Mac through the ort-dynamic feature path (runtime dlopen
against a system libonnxruntime installed via Homebrew). This sidesteps
ort-sys prebuilts entirely and works today.
Changes:
- crates/vestige-core/Cargo.toml: split `embeddings` into code-only vs
backend-choice. The embeddings feature now just pulls fastembed + hf-hub
+ image-models and activates the 27 #[cfg(feature = "embeddings")] gates
throughout the crate. New `ort-download` feature carries the
download-binaries-native-tls backend (the historical default). Existing
`ort-dynamic` feature now transitively enables `embeddings`, so the
cfg gates stay active when users swap backends.
Default feature set expands `["embeddings", ...]` -> `["embeddings",
"ort-download", ...]` so existing consumers see identical behavior.
- crates/vestige-mcp/Cargo.toml: mirrors the split. Adds `ort-download`
feature that chains to vestige-core/ort-download, keeps `ort-dynamic`
that chains to vestige-core/ort-dynamic. Both transitively pull
`embeddings`. Default adds `ort-download` so `cargo install vestige-mcp`
still picks the prebuilt-ort backend like before.
- .github/workflows/ci.yml: re-adds x86_64-apple-darwin to the
release-build matrix with `--no-default-features --features
ort-dynamic,vector-search`. Adds a `brew install onnxruntime` step that
sets ORT_DYLIB_PATH from `brew --prefix onnxruntime`.
- .github/workflows/release.yml: re-adds x86_64-apple-darwin to the
release matrix with the same flags + brew install step. The Intel Mac
tarball now also bundles docs/INSTALL-INTEL-MAC.md so binary consumers
get the `brew install onnxruntime` + ORT_DYLIB_PATH prereq out of the
box.
- docs/INSTALL-INTEL-MAC.md: new install guide covering the Homebrew
prereq, binary install, source build, troubleshooting, and the v2.1
ort-candle migration plan.
- README.md: replaces the "Intel Mac and Windows build from source only"
paragraph with the prebuilt Intel Mac install (brew + curl + env var)
and a link to the full guide. Platform table updated: Intel Mac back
on the "prebuilt" list.
Verified locally on aarch64-apple-darwin:
- `cargo check --release -p vestige-mcp` -> clean (default features)
- `cargo check --release -p vestige-mcp --no-default-features
--features ort-dynamic,vector-search` -> clean
Runtime path on Intel Mac (verified on CI):
brew install onnxruntime
export ORT_DYLIB_PATH=$(brew --prefix onnxruntime)/lib/libonnxruntime.dylib
vestige-mcp --version
Fixes#41. Long-term plan (v2.1): migrate to ort-candle pure-Rust backend
so no system ONNX Runtime dep is needed on any platform.

The Intel Mac job failed the v2.0.5 AND v2.0.6 release workflows because
ort-sys 2.0.0-rc.11 (pinned by fastembed 5.13.2) does not ship Intel Mac
prebuilts. ci.yml already dropped the target weeks ago; release.yml is
now in sync.
README documents the build-from-source path for Intel Mac users and
v2.0.6 also removed the Intel Mac download link from the install block,
so no user-facing promise regresses. When ort-sys ships Intel Mac
prebuilts again, restore the matrix entry.
Two unrelated upstream issues were stopping two of our four release targets.
Root-caused and fixed both so v2.0.5 ships on 100% of supported platforms.
Windows MSVC (new regression in v2.0.5):
`usearch 2.24.0` introduced a `memory_mapping_allocator_gt` template
that references the POSIX `MAP_FAILED` macro from <sys/mman.h>, which
doesn't exist on MSVC. Confirmed upstream as unum-cloud/usearch#746
(open). The bump from 2.23.0 happened during the v2.0.5 Cargo.lock
refresh. Pinned `usearch = "=2.23.0"` in crates/vestige-core/Cargo.toml
with a comment linking the upstream issue. Unpin when the fix lands.
Intel Mac (latent bug exposed by the ci workaround):
Root cause was feature-propagation, not the release workflow.
crates/vestige-mcp/Cargo.toml hardcoded
`features = ["bundled-sqlite", "embeddings", "vector-search"]` on its
vestige-core dep, which forcibly enabled vestige-core's embeddings
feature regardless of whether vestige-mcp's own `embeddings` feature
flag was set. With `--no-default-features` at the top level (the old
Intel Mac ci workaround), vestige-mcp's feature flags turned off but
vestige-core's embeddings stayed on through the hardcoded list. That
pulled in fastembed -> ort-sys, but without any of the flags that
select ort-sys' backend binaries, so the ort-sys build script failed
with "does not provide prebuilt binaries for the target
x86_64-apple-darwin with feature set (no features)".
Fix:
- Drop `embeddings` and `vector-search` from the hardcoded features
list in crates/vestige-mcp/Cargo.toml. Leave only `bundled-sqlite`
as an always-on base feature. The existing
`embeddings = ["vestige-core/embeddings"]` /
`vector-search = ["vestige-core/vector-search"]` flag declarations
now actually gate those features as intended.
- Bump the vestige-core dep version ref 2.0.4 -> 2.0.5 (was stale).
- Drop `cargo_flags: "--no-default-features"` from the Intel Mac
target in .github/workflows/release.yml. The original reason for
that workaround was sidestepping the same ort-sys issue, but with
the feature-propagation bug fixed, Intel Mac now builds with full
default features the same way aarch64-darwin does on the same
macos-14 runner.
Verification:
- `cargo tree -p vestige-mcp --no-default-features -i fastembed`
-> "did not match any packages" (fastembed truly absent now)
- `cargo tree -p vestige-mcp --no-default-features -i ort-sys` -> same
- `cargo build --release -p vestige-mcp` -> clean, 1m 21s, usearch 2.23.0
Same v2.0.5 tag. Rust source code identical to 8178beb. Re-triggering
the release workflow via workflow_dispatch will rebuild all four
platforms and upload to the existing v2.0.5 release page.
The ort crate no longer ships prebuilt ONNX Runtime binaries for macOS Intel.
Build that target with --no-default-features so it uses keyword-only search
instead of failing the release pipeline.

- Add vestige-restore to npm makeExecutable list

Drop problematic targets:
- x86_64-apple-darwin: No free Intel macOS runners after macos-13 retirement
- aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu: Cross-compile OpenSSL issues with vendored feature
Ship with 2 platforms that work reliably:
- aarch64-apple-darwin (macOS Apple Silicon)
- x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (Linux x86_64)
Users on Intel Mac or ARM64 Linux can build from source with cargo.

Two-pronged fix for cross-compilation:
1. git2 with vendored-openssl feature - compiles OpenSSL from source,
eliminating system dependency issues across all platforms
2. houseabsolute/actions-rust-cross@v1 - dedicated GitHub Action that
properly handles cross-compilation with Docker containers

- macOS ARM64: macos-latest (Apple Silicon)
- macOS x86_64: macos-13 (Intel) - no cross-compilation
- Linux x86_64: ubuntu-latest with OpenSSL
- Linux ARM64: cross tool for proper Docker-based cross-compilation
Install OpenSSL via homebrew on macOS and set OPENSSL_DIR.

Cross-compilation for aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu requires OpenSSL
dev libraries for the target platform. Using `cross` handles this
automatically via Docker containers with pre-installed dependencies.
