Test Release

Automated smoke test for a released archon binary. Covers three install paths:

• brew — Homebrew tap on macOS (tests the formula and checksums)
• curl-mac — curl install.sh on macOS (tests the install script, sandboxed to a temp dir)
• curl-vps — curl install.sh on a remote Linux VPS (tests the Linux binary and full install path)

Every path installs the binary, runs a fixed smoke test suite, and cleans up. The dev bun link binary is never touched and remains the default archon on PATH throughout.

When NOT to use this skill:

• There is no release yet — build a local binary via bash scripts/build-binaries.sh and run it from dist/binaries/ directly
• You want to test the dev clone — use bun run validate or invoke source directly via bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts
• You want to test the full server + web UI deploy flow — use the cloud-init from deploy/cloud-init.yml on a real VPS
