name: Build ONNX Runtime (macOS 13 floor)

# Builds ONNX Runtime for macOS arm64 with the deployment target pinned to the
# floor this app declares, and publishes it as an artifact for a maintainer to
# attach to a release.
#
# WHY THIS EXISTS. Microsoft's own `onnxruntime-osx-arm64-*.tgz` is built for
# macOS 14. `electron-builder.json5` declares `minimumSystemVersion: "13.0"`,
# and `scripts/before-pack.cjs` refuses to package any binary that demands more
# than the floor — correctly, because the deployment target decides which
# symbols the linker resolves against the OS rather than emitting locally, so a
# too-high floor strands users on the older OS with `Symbol not found` at dyld
# time (#515). The result is that `npm run build:mac` cannot package at all.
#
# Every published release from 1.24 onward is `minos 14.0`, and every release
# before it is at least 13.3, so no prebuilt artifact has ever satisfied a 13.0
# floor. Building it is the only way to keep both macOS 13 support and webcam
# segmentation.
#
# WHAT IS NOT BUILT. The CoreML execution provider. `segmentation.rs` builds its
# session with no explicit provider, i.e. the CPU EP, which
# technical-documentation/engineering/webcam-segmentation.md records as a
# measured decision ("Inference p50, CPU EP: 3.575 ms — the CPU is faster").
# Dropping CoreML is what takes the library from 36.7 MB to ~22 MB.
#
# HOW IT IS PUBLISHED. This workflow does not create releases. It builds,
# verifies, and prints the exact `PINNED` entry for
# `scripts/fetch-onnxruntime.mjs` in the job summary; attaching the archive to a
# release and pasting that entry stays a deliberate human step, so the
# supply-chain posture the script documents — immutable URL, SHA-256 verified
# before the archive is opened — is preserved rather than replaced by "whatever
# CI last uploaded".

# The default is 6 h. This build takes ~10 min on an 8-core M1 with `--parallel 4`
# and well over an hour on the runner; a cap turns "pathologically slow" into a

Raise the job timeout above the measured build duration. The Build step can run for more than 150 minutes with JOBS="$(( $(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) > 2 ? $(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) - 1 : 1 ))". If the reported duration above 227 minutes applies, GitHub cancels the job before packaging and attestation. Set the timeout above the worst-case duration with margin.

In @.github/workflows/build-onnxruntime-macos.yml at line 65, Increase the
workflow job’s timeout-minutes setting above the reported worst-case Build
duration of 227 minutes, adding sufficient margin for packaging and attestation
to complete; update only the timeout configuration.
