Citizen Launcher 1.0.1 – Verification Report

Date: 2026-08-31

Release gate

The 1.0.1 source tree passed the complete automated release gate:

shell syntax checks for installer, uninstaller, packaging and integration scripts
gofmt cleanliness
go test ./...
go vet ./...
static Linux amd64 build
go test -race ./...
Omarchy updater integration test against disposable local Git repositories
Debian package build and metadata/payload verification
generic Linux amd64 tarball build and execution check
systemd service/timer syntax verification
desktop entry regression checks
AppStream and workflow validation inherited from the 1.0 release gate

Real-machine regressions reproduced from the support bundle

The uploaded Debian 13 support bundle exposed two 1.0.0 false negatives:

vulkaninfo reported both AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV PHOENIX2) and Mesa llvmpipe. 1.0.0 rejected the whole system merely because the software ICD was present. 1.0.1 parses devices independently and selects the real AMD GPU.
The RSI PowerShell wrapper returned a successful process exit but no captured stdout. 1.0.0 incorrectly required a marker string in stdout. 1.0.1 validates PowerShell Core and then treats the wrapper's propagated exit status as authoritative.

Automated regression tests cover both conditions.

Additional process-level verification

A real two-process GUI test was run against the built binary:

first gui --no-open created a localhost endpoint
second gui --no-open returned the exact same endpoint instead of creating another backend
/api/ping on that endpoint reported version 1.0.1

A synthetic vulkaninfo run matching the support bundle's AMD + llvmpipe layout selected AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV PHOENIX2) and reported Vulkan ready. The sandbox itself has insufficient RAM for Star Citizen, so its overall hardware state remained blocked for RAM as expected; the GPU path was no longer the blocker.

Scope boundary

The release gate validates the launcher, package, updater, GUI, locks, migration, install/repair logic and local safety properties. It cannot perform an RSI account login or a complete live Star Citizen game session from this sandbox. Those remain real-machine acceptance tests.
