Fix release docs job and setup-baml for wrapper 0.3 output - #5557
Wrapper 0.3 prints its own line and then passes --version through to the toolchain:
baml wrapper 0.3.1
baml-cli 0.25.1
Every consumer that parsed baml toolchain X got an empty version. Wrapper 0.3.1 is now in wrapper.json, Homebrew and AUR, so the public BoundaryML/setup-baml@v1 action is also broken for users.
Dry runs skip the docs job (dry_run == 'false' gate), so the 0.25.1 run was the first time this step ran against wrapper 0.3.
Changes
Commit 1: read the version from both formats
.github/workflows/release-baml-language.yml, step "Install the exact published BAML toolchain": accepts baml-cli X and baml toolchain [baml-cli ]X. The step now saves the output and parses it with sed <<<, instead of piping the wrapper into sed. Wrapper 0.3.1 exits with an error on a broken pipe. The step also prints the raw output.
typescript2/app-developer-docs/lib/generated-content/baml-binary.ts: readBamlBinaryIdentity now calls a new pure parseBamlVersionOutput that accepts both formats. The next docs step, "Publish the immutable documentation release", uses it, so fixing only the workflow would have failed one step later.
packaging/github-actions/setup-baml/lib/wrapper-output.mjs: resolveVersion accepts both formats.
Commit 2: other wrapper 0.3 changes that setup-baml depends on
Running the action live showed it fails before it reaches --version:
In 0.3, toolchain use <selector> edits the closest baml.toml. Outside a project it fails with error: no baml.toml found. The fix is toolchain use --global, which sets the user default like 0.2's use did.
0.3 reads BAML_TOOLCHAIN and ignores BAML_VERSION. Wrapper 0.2.5 read BAML_VERSION. Without this change, an explicit toolchain: input loses to a conflicting project selector, and the version output reports the wrong toolchain. The fix: setup-baml clears and exports BAML_TOOLCHAIN, and baml-action's per-step overrides use BAML_TOOLCHAIN too (step.sh, and env -u in github-actions-ci.yml).
The BAML-implemented wrapper rejects an empty BAML_MANIFEST_BASE_URL (manifest base URL must use HTTPS). The Rust wrapper treats empty as unset. setup-baml wrote BAML_MANIFEST_BASE_URL= to GITHUB_ENV, so any later step that resolved a channel failed. It now writes the official https://pkg.boundaryml.com/manifest/v1.
Checked, no change needed:lib/snippets/checker.ts, baml-action/scripts/step.sh messages, the baml --version lines in github-actions-ci.yml, scripts/smoke-go-release.py, and tools/speedtest only print the output. The Homebrew formula test and scripts/baml-test-aur-package only check for baml wrapper X, which 0.3 still prints. scripts/install.sh and install.ps1 already detect --global from the help text.
Commit 3: read the CLI reference from the toolchain
With commits 1 and 2, the docs job gets past the version check but then failed in the CLI reference generator with Emitted CLI help does not contain a Usage section. Wrapper 0.3.1 is the BAML implementation in baml_language/wrapper/.
baml help prints the wrapper's own summary (Wrapper commands: plus a comma-separated CLI commands list) and has no Commands: section. Wrapper 0.2 passed help through to baml-cli, so a lenient parser would silently drop every CLI command.
baml toolchain help and baml self-update --help have no Usage: line.
Changes in typescript2/app-developer-docs/lib/generated-content/cli-generator.ts:
Wrapper 0.3+: the generator resolves the selected toolchain with baml toolchain status --json. That is the wrapper's documented machine-readable output (schema_version: 1, installed, toolchain_path). The resolved version must match the baml --version identity, and <toolchain_path> --version must print baml-cli <same version>. The root help and every per-command help (help, help <cmd> …) are then read from that baml-cli. The invocation arguments are unchanged.
Wrapper 0.2: it has no status --json but forwards help, so it keeps using the wrapper. The choice depends on the wrapper version from baml --version.
Wrapper-owned commands:toolchain and self-update are still documented, as before, by reading their help from the wrapper. When that help has no Usage: line, usage falls back to baml toolchain <command> or baml self-update, and the description is the text before the first section. Help from baml-cli still requires a Usage line.
A root help that lists no commands is now an error, so this regression can't recur silently.
Testing (commits 1 and 2)
Release workflow step. A harness extracts the step's lines from the YAML and runs them. With wrapper 0.3.1 + 0.25.1 installed into a scratch BAML_HOME via scripts/install.sh --version 0.25.1 --no-modify-path, it accepts 0.25.1. The same harness on the canary copy of the workflow reproduces installed BAML toolchain is , expected 0.25.1. With stub binaries, it accepts the 0.2 outputs (0.16.0 (nightly), project-annotated nightly, local baml-cli X), and rejects a mismatched version, not installed, and missing output.
Developer docs. New tests in tests/generated-content.test.ts cover both formats and the rejection cases. pnpm test (63 passed, 1 skipped), pnpm typecheck and pnpm lint all pass. Against the live binary, readBamlBinaryIdentity returns {productVersion: "0.25.1", wrapperVersion: "0.3.1"}, and all 14 standard packages generate.
setup-baml.npm test passes (9 tests; new cases cover 0.3 output, CRLF and rejections), and so does shellcheck. The real scripts/setup.sh ran against the production installer and wrapper 0.3.1 in the four CI scenarios. In each, a later step that applies GITHUB_ENV/GITHUB_PATH checks the result, and the project baml.toml was not modified.
toolchain: 0.16.0 with a conflicting project canary gives version=0.16.0; a later step sees baml-cli 0.16.0.
No input with project nightly gives version=0.23.1-nightly.20261103.b; the later step's selector is nightly.
toolchain: canary with project nightly gives version=0.23.0; the later step's selector is canary.
toolchain: 0.25.1 with no baml.toml gives version=0.25.1. Before this change, the unchanged script failed here with no baml.toml found.
CLI reference check against the live install
On the live wrapper 0.3.1 + toolchain 0.25.1, the CLI tree matches the one generated through the real wrapper 0.2.5 (downloaded from the baml-wrapper-0.2.5 release) exactly: same nodes, same 34 raw help texts and invocations. The only differences are in the wrapper's own commands: 0.3 dropped toolchain pin and has a one-line self-update help. That gives 40 commands instead of 41.
End to end against wrapper 0.3.1 + 0.25.1, in a clean environment like the CI runner's:
validate-snippets.ts validated 62 snippets.
populate-generated-content.ts --dry-run produced version 0.25.1, 40 CLI commands and 1317 routes. Wrapper 0.2.5 + 0.25.1 also passes: 41 commands, 1318 routes.
Against a throwaway local Postgres with migrations 0001 and 0002 applied, the real populate-generated-content.ts (publish, 1317 routes), verify-generated-content.ts --version 0.25.1 and promote-document-alias.ts --channel canary all succeed.
next dev against that database serves /baml/packages/v0.25.1 ("Standard packages") and /cli/v0.25.1 ("BAML CLI"), which are the two SSR checks the job runs. /cli/v0.25.1/commands/{toolchain,toolchain/use,self-update,generate} also render.
generate-contract-samples.ts passes.
New unit tests cover help without a Usage line (verbatim 0.3.1 toolchain help, one-line self-update), clap and 0.2 help with a Usage line, and choosing the help binary with stub binaries: 0.3 picks the toolchain, 0.2 picks the wrapper, and a version mismatch is rejected. pnpm test (66 pass, 1 skipped DB test), pnpm typecheck and pnpm lint pass.
CI note: four baml-action jobs fail on this PR, as expected
packaging/github-actions/baml-action/action.yml pins BoundaryML/setup-baml@01c5b25…, the August code, which runs toolchain use without --global. So the four baml-action … jobs fail against wrapper 0.3.1 with error: no baml.toml found. That happens on any PR touching these paths, and baml-action users hit the same error today. The setup-baml jobs pass on all three OSes. None of these checks is required on canary.
The fix for the pin and the mirror sync is #5558, stacked on this PR. Merging this PR first is safe. Its push runs the current sync workflow, baml-action's tests fail on the old pin, and neither mirror changes. #5558 then publishes setup-baml and a baml-action pinned to it.
Wrapper 0.3 (#5426) prints `baml wrapper X` and passes --version through
to the toolchain, which prints `baml-cli X`. Wrapper 0.2 printed
`baml toolchain X (...)`. The release docs job, the developer docs
generator, and setup-baml only understood the 0.2 line, so they read an
empty version and the 0.25.1 canary release stopped before promotion.
Accept both forms everywhere. The workflow step now captures the output
before parsing it instead of piping the wrapper into sed.

Wrapper 0.3 changed three things setup-baml relied on:
- `toolchain use <selector>` now edits the closest baml.toml and fails
outside a project; `--global` sets the user default as before.
- The toolchain override variable is BAML_TOOLCHAIN; BAML_VERSION is
ignored, so an explicit `toolchain` input lost to the project selector.
- An empty BAML_MANIFEST_BASE_URL is rejected instead of treated as
unset, so later steps failed whenever they resolved a channel.
Export BAML_TOOLCHAIN and the official manifest URL for later steps, and
make baml-action's per-step overrides use BAML_TOOLCHAIN to match.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Setup and version-reading paths now support wrapper 0.3 conventions while retaining legacy output support. Developer-documentation generation resolves the CLI binary, validates its identity, and parses help output with optional fallback usage.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 897f1
The wrapper 0.3 compatibility changes look coherent. However, the baml-action CI jobs currently fail because they use a pinned setup-baml revision that still runs toolchain use without --global. Merging before that pin is updated leaves those jobs failing.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 897f1
The changes retain version checks and publication gates while adding direct execution of the selected toolchain. No introduced security vulnerability was established. Risk remains low because the publishing process trusts executable selection and runner state; deployed credential scope and runner isolation were not verified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — Documentation generation runs in a publishing step containing the publisher database credential, and child execution inherits the process environment. A compromised selected executable consequently operates within that publishing authority. This exposure predates the PR because identity collection already invokes wrapper --version, which executes the selected toolchain.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The reviewed direct-help path does not establish a new attacker-controlled executable source relative to the base: status resolution and existing version passthrough use the same wrapper selection mechanism. Matching versions cannot defend against an already compromised executable, but that is an existing trust assumption rather than a verified PR-introduced vulnerability.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Execution requires an absolute accessible executable path and uses shell=false. Recursive help arguments derive from command names restricted to lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens. Setup independently restricts selectors to channels or version-shaped values, excluding local executable paths and multiline environment-file values.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Identity mismatches, invalid status, nonzero executable exits, and incomplete help reject generation before publication. Existing publisher immutability checks and serialization remain responsible for repeated and concurrent publication; this PR does not replace those controls.

Wrapper 0.3 answers `baml help` with its own summary, which has no
`Commands:` section, and prints `baml toolchain help` and
`baml self-update --help` without a Usage line. The CLI reference
generator failed with "Emitted CLI help does not contain a Usage
section", and would have dropped every CLI command even if it had not.
Under wrapper 0.3, resolve the toolchain binary with
`baml toolchain status --json`, check that it reports the release
version, and read the CLI help from it. Wrapper 0.2 still forwards
`help`, so it keeps using the wrapper. The wrapper-owned `toolchain` and
`self-update` pages are still documented; without a Usage line they get
a fixed usage and a description from the text before the first section.

…daryML#5558)
Stacked on BoundaryML#5557. Its base is `paulo/baml-version-output`; retarget it
to `canary` after BoundaryML#5557 merges.
## Problem
`BoundaryML/setup-baml` and `BoundaryML/baml-action` are read-only
mirrors of `packaging/github-actions/*` (BoundaryML#5537).
`sync-github-actions-mirror.yml` publishes them on pushes to `canary`
and moves `v1`, but only after the actions CI passes.
baml-action hard-codes `BoundaryML/setup-baml@01c5b25`, the August code.
The pinning itself was deliberate: the original baml-action README said
"The action pins `setup-baml` to a full commit SHA". The mirror's
Dependabot bumped the pin monthly. BoundaryML#5537 moved CI and Dependabot into
this repo and listed the pin as a known limit; since then nothing
updates it.
Wrapper 0.3 broke the pinned setup-baml (`error: no baml.toml found`,
from `toolchain use` without `--global`). That causes a deadlock:
1. baml-action's CI jobs fail because of the old pin.
2. Those failures block the mirror sync.
3. So the setup-baml fix in BoundaryML#5557 never reaches the mirror.
4. So no fixed setup-baml commit exists to pin.
baml-action users are broken today for the same reason.
## Design
- **Test together.** In this repo, `baml-action/action.yml` uses
`./packaging/github-actions/setup-baml`, so every PR tests baml-action
against the setup-baml next to it. A breaking setup-baml change now
fails baml-action's tests in the same PR, instead of stranding the
published baml-action later.
- **Publish pinned.** `packaging/github-actions/mirror/sync.sh`
publishes one action. For baml-action it rewrites that one `uses:` line,
by exact line match, to `BoundaryML/setup-baml@<sha> # v1`. `<sha>` is
the setup-baml mirror commit published from the same source commit, or
the existing mirror HEAD if setup-baml was already up to date. Either
way, that commit's tree is the setup-baml baml-action was tested with.
- This keeps the original SHA-pin policy, so a user who pins baml-action
by SHA gets a reproducible setup-baml.
- An independent review checked this pin design and found no blockers.
- **One gate for both mirrors.** The sync runs the full actions CI once:
`test`, then `sync-setup-baml`, then `sync-baml-action`. baml-action's
jobs are also integration tests of setup-baml, so a setup-baml change
that only they catch must not reach `setup-baml@v1`.
- **Only canary publishes.** Both sync jobs have `if: github.ref ==
'refs/heads/canary'`. A manual run from another branch tests but
publishes nothing.
- **No rollbacks.** `sync.sh` reads the source commit the mirror was
last synced from, using its `Sync from BoundaryML/baml@<sha>` commit
message, and refuses to publish an ancestor of it.
- The case it covers: run X fails in `sync-baml-action`, a newer run Y
publishes, and then X's failed jobs are re-run. GitHub reuses X's
`sync-setup-baml` output, so without this, `@v1` would roll back to X's
content and pin.
- The checkout is shallow, so `sync.sh` fetches the published commit's
history (commits only, `--filter=tree:0`) and walks back from it. An
equal source is a no-op.
- **What gets published.** The committed tree at the source commit (`git
archive`) plus the root `LICENSE`, added with `--force`. Files
force-added past an action's `.gitignore` ship, and untracked files in
the checkout don't.
- **Guards.** `sync.sh` refuses a missing or malformed SHA, a bad major
tag, and any `uses: ./…` (quoted or not) in any published `action.yml`.
It moves `v1` whenever it doesn't point at the mirror's HEAD (compared
peeled, for annotated tags). It pushes the branch and tag with
`--atomic`.
Alternatives considered:
- **Bot commits the pin back to `canary`.** That needs write access to
the protected branch, and CI would still test the stale pin.
- **Vendor setup-baml into baml-action.** That duplicates the composite
setup steps and hides the dependency.
- **Use `@v1` instead of a SHA.** That drops the reproducibility the
action promised.
- **Gate each action only on its own tests.** I tried this first and
reverted it after review, for the reason above.
## Changes
- `packaging/github-actions/baml-action/action.yml`: uses the local
setup-baml, with a comment explaining the rewrite.
- `packaging/github-actions/baml-action/scripts/step.sh`: `run_fmt`
captures `baml fmt --help` instead of piping it into `grep -q` under
`pipefail`. If grep exits early, the pipeline can fail with SIGPIPE, and
wrapper 0.3.1 errors on a broken pipe.
- `packaging/github-actions/mirror/sync.sh` (new): replaces the inline
sync steps.
- `packaging/github-actions/mirror/test.sh` (new). It builds a local
source repository with real history (A, then B, then C on main, and a
side-branch commit E) and runs every sync from a shallow, blobless
checkout of one commit, the way the workflow does. It covers:
- publishing and the commit message, including stale-file removal, a
force-added ignored file, and an untracked file left out;
- an unchanged source adds no commit, and a stale `v1` gets repaired;
- the pin goes to the just-published setup-baml and moves when
setup-baml changes;
- re-running an older source (B after C) is refused for both actions,
and neither `main` nor `v1` moves;
- argument refusals, and a nested `action.yml` with a quoted `uses:
"./…"`;
- a push where only the branch update is rejected leaves both the branch
and `v1` unmoved.
- `.github/workflows/github-actions-ci.yml`: runs the mirror test in the
setup-baml lint job, and shellcheck now covers `mirror/*.sh`.
- `.github/workflows/sync-github-actions-mirror.yml`: jobs are `test`,
then `sync-setup-baml` (outputs `sha`), then `sync-baml-action`. Both
syncs only run on canary.
## Testing
- `mirror/test.sh` passes, and so do `shellcheck` and `actionlint`.
- Mutation check on `sync.sh`. Each of these makes the suite fail:
removing the rollback check, adding without `--force`, the guard
ignoring quotes, the guard checking only the top-level file, a
non-atomic push, and disabling the pin rewrite.
- The rollback check against the real repository: from a depth-1
blobless checkout of `c02edfc`, fetching `6a3eb3d` with
`--filter=tree:0` takes about 0.4 s. Ancestry then comes out right in
both directions: an older source is refused, a newer one is published.
- I simulated the composite locally against wrapper 0.3.1, running the
in-repo setup-baml with `toolchain: nightly` and `step.sh` on every CI
fixture:
- `failing` fails `test`, `invalid` fails `check`, `empty` passes with
the "no tests" notice.
- PR-mode codequality measured the base and rendered the comment.
- This PR's actions CI runs the four `baml-action …` jobs against
wrapper 0.3.1 through `./packaging/github-actions/setup-baml`, including
Windows.
## After merge
On the first push to `canary` that contains this PR:
1. `test` runs.
2. `sync-setup-baml` diffs the mirror (`main` and `v1` at `0bbe3f4`,
last synced from `c02edfc`, an ancestor). It commits BoundaryML#5557's setup-baml
changes as `Sync from BoundaryML/baml@<merge sha>` and moves `main` and
`v1` to the new commit (call it S).
3. `sync-baml-action` rewrites the pin from `01c5b25` to S and adds the
`step.sh` changes. It commits and moves `main` and `v1`.
Users on `BoundaryML/setup-baml@v1` get the wrapper 0.3 fixes. Users on
`BoundaryML/baml-action@v1` get a baml-action pinned to S. No manual
step.
If BoundaryML#5557 merges first, its push runs the old sync workflow.
baml-action's tests fail on the old pin, so neither mirror changes.
That's the same state as today and harmless.

Bumps the language from 0.25.1 to 0.25.2 with
`scripts/baml-language-version bump --patch`. Only version strings
change, and `scripts/baml-language-version check` and
`scripts/baml-wrapper-version check` both pass.
The wrapper stays at 0.3.1. It is already the version in `wrapper.json`,
so the release reuses it and doesn't publish a wrapper.
## Why another release
The 0.25.1 canary release ([run
42162184320](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/42162184320))
published every package but failed in the developer docs job: wrapper
0.3 changed what `baml --version` prints, and the job read an empty
version. So the canary channel was never promoted, and `canary.json`
still points at 0.23.0.
BoundaryML#5557 fixed the docs job, the docs publishing code and `setup-baml` for
wrapper 0.3's output. This release is the first canary run with that
fix. Since 0.25.1, `canary` contains only BoundaryML#5557.

…oundaryML#5560)
Wrapper 0.3 changed what `baml --version` prints. Two gaps let that
reach users before anyone noticed:
- **Release dry runs skip the developer docs job.** It only runs after
publishing, so 0.25.1 published every package and then failed there, one
step before promoting the canary channel.
- **The `setup-baml` and `baml-action` tests only run on PRs that touch
the actions.** They install the published wrapper, so a wrapper release
that broke them changed none of their files. Users' CI broke first.
BoundaryML#5557 and BoundaryML#5558 fixed the breakage itself. This PR closes the two gaps.
## Changes
**Dry runs generate the developer docs.** A new `dry-run-developer-docs`
job runs in dry runs only:
- It unpacks this run's own wrapper and x86_64 Linux toolchain, and
points the wrapper at that `baml-cli` with `BAML_TOOLCHAIN`. Nothing is
downloaded.
- It runs the same snippet validation and content generation as
`publish-developer-docs`, with `--dry-run`, so nothing is written.
- `dry-run-summary` needs it, so `verify-release` waits for it too.
**One version check, before anything is written.**
`populate-generated-content.ts` takes an optional `--expect-version`. It
compares that with the version the generator already reads from the
binary's `baml --version` (the parser fixed and tested in BoundaryML#5557).
- Both docs jobs pass it.
- It replaces the separate `sed` parse in `publish-developer-docs`,
which is the check that failed for 0.25.1. That leaves one parser
instead of two.
- Generation runs before publishing, so a mismatch still stops the job
before any database write.
**The actions tests run daily.** A new `github-actions-nightly.yml` runs
on a schedule at 11:37 UTC, after the nightly release, and can also be
started by hand.
- It calls the existing `github-actions-ci.yml` tests.
- On failure it notifies `#general` through
`tools/notify-release-failure.py`, the way the nightly dispatcher does,
but only from `canary`.
- It's a separate workflow because `sync-github-actions-mirror.yml` also
calls those tests, and a called workflow can't ask for more permissions
than its caller grants.
- The notifier takes an optional `SUBJECT` and `DOCS` for this. Release
messages are unchanged.
## Testing
- **Dry-run job steps, run locally** against the real 0.25.1
`aarch64-apple-darwin` toolchain and wrapper 0.3.1 archives, with a
clean environment:
- The wrapper ran the local toolchain without downloading anything.
- Snippet validation passed.
- Generation produced 40 CLI commands and 1,317 routes.
- `--expect-version 0.25.2` failed with "The selected baml binary runs
toolchain 0.25.1, expected 0.25.2."
- **Notifier:** run with Slack and GitHub stubbed. The release message
is byte-for-byte the same as before, and the new subject and docs line
render.
- **Static checks:** actionlint passes on all three workflows. The docs
app's typecheck, lint and unit tests pass.
- **A real dry run of `release-baml-language.yml` on this branch** is
linked in a comment below.
- **Not tested:** the scheduled workflow's Slack step against real
Slack. It only runs on a failure from `canary`.

What broke
The BAML 0.25.1 canary release failed in the developer docs job (run 42162184320, job 127731370109):
Because of that, "Promote verified release channel manifest" and "Verify release artifacts" were skipped.
canary.jsonstill points at 0.23.0.Why
#5426 changed what
baml --versionprints. Wrapper 0.2 printed the toolchain on its own line:Wrapper 0.3 prints its own line and then passes
--versionthrough to the toolchain:Every consumer that parsed
baml toolchain Xgot an empty version. Wrapper 0.3.1 is now inwrapper.json, Homebrew and AUR, so the publicBoundaryML/setup-baml@v1action is also broken for users.Dry runs skip the docs job (
dry_run == 'false'gate), so the 0.25.1 run was the first time this step ran against wrapper 0.3.Changes
Commit 1: read the version from both formats
.github/workflows/release-baml-language.yml, step "Install the exact published BAML toolchain": acceptsbaml-cli Xandbaml toolchain [baml-cli ]X. The step now saves the output and parses it withsed <<<, instead of piping the wrapper into sed. Wrapper 0.3.1 exits with an error on a broken pipe. The step also prints the raw output.typescript2/app-developer-docs/lib/generated-content/baml-binary.ts:readBamlBinaryIdentitynow calls a new pureparseBamlVersionOutputthat accepts both formats. The next docs step, "Publish the immutable documentation release", uses it, so fixing only the workflow would have failed one step later.packaging/github-actions/setup-baml/lib/wrapper-output.mjs:resolveVersionaccepts both formats.Commit 2: other wrapper 0.3 changes that setup-baml depends on
Running the action live showed it fails before it reaches
--version:toolchain use <selector>edits the closestbaml.toml. Outside a project it fails witherror: no baml.toml found. The fix istoolchain use --global, which sets the user default like 0.2'susedid.BAML_TOOLCHAINand ignoresBAML_VERSION. Wrapper 0.2.5 readBAML_VERSION. Without this change, an explicittoolchain:input loses to a conflicting project selector, and theversionoutput reports the wrong toolchain. The fix: setup-baml clears and exportsBAML_TOOLCHAIN, and baml-action's per-step overrides useBAML_TOOLCHAINtoo (step.sh, andenv -uingithub-actions-ci.yml).BAML_MANIFEST_BASE_URL(manifest base URL must use HTTPS). The Rust wrapper treats empty as unset. setup-baml wroteBAML_MANIFEST_BASE_URL=toGITHUB_ENV, so any later step that resolved a channel failed. It now writes the officialhttps://pkg.boundaryml.com/manifest/v1.Checked, no change needed:
lib/snippets/checker.ts,baml-action/scripts/step.shmessages, thebaml --versionlines ingithub-actions-ci.yml,scripts/smoke-go-release.py, andtools/speedtestonly print the output. The Homebrew formula test andscripts/baml-test-aur-packageonly check forbaml wrapper X, which 0.3 still prints.scripts/install.shandinstall.ps1already detect--globalfrom the help text.Commit 3: read the CLI reference from the toolchain
With commits 1 and 2, the docs job gets past the version check but then failed in the CLI reference generator with
Emitted CLI help does not contain a Usage section.Wrapper 0.3.1 is the BAML implementation inbaml_language/wrapper/.baml helpprints the wrapper's own summary (Wrapper commands:plus a comma-separatedCLI commandslist) and has noCommands:section.

typescript2/app-developer-docs/lib/generated-content/cli-generator.ts:baml toolchain status --json. That is the wrapper's documented machine-readable output (schema_version: 1,installed,toolchain_path). The resolvedversionmust match thebaml --versionidentity, and<toolchain_path> --versionmust printbaml-cli <same version>. The root help and every per-command help (help,help <cmd> …) are then read from thatbaml-cli. Theinvocationarguments are unchanged.status --jsonbut forwardshelp, so it keeps using the wrapper. The choice depends on the wrapper version frombaml --version.toolchainandself-updateare still documented, as before, by reading their help from the wrapper. When that help has noUsage:line, usage falls back tobaml toolchain <command>orbaml self-update, and the description is the text before the first section. Help frombaml-clistill requires a Usage line.Testing (commits 1 and 2)
BAML_HOMEviascripts/install.sh --version 0.25.1 --no-modify-path, it accepts 0.25.1. The same harness on thecanarycopy of the workflow reproducesinstalled BAML toolchain is , expected 0.25.1. With stub binaries, it accepts the 0.2 outputs (0.16.0 (nightly), project-annotated nightly, localbaml-cli X), and rejects a mismatched version,not installed, and missing output.tests/generated-content.test.tscover both formats and the rejection cases.pnpm test(63 passed, 1 skipped),pnpm typecheckandpnpm lintall pass. Against the live binary,readBamlBinaryIdentityreturns{productVersion: "0.25.1", wrapperVersion: "0.3.1"}, and all 14 standard packages generate.npm testpasses (9 tests; new cases cover 0.3 output, CRLF and rejections), and so doesshellcheck. The realscripts/setup.shran against the production installer and wrapper 0.3.1 in the four CI scenarios. In each, a later step that appliesGITHUB_ENV/GITHUB_PATHchecks the result, and the projectbaml.tomlwas not modified.toolchain: 0.16.0with a conflicting projectcanarygivesversion=0.16.0; a later step seesbaml-cli 0.16.0.nightlygivesversion=0.23.1-nightly.20261103.b; the later step's selector isnightly.toolchain: canarywith projectnightlygivesversion=0.23.0; the later step's selector iscanary.toolchain: 0.25.1with nobaml.tomlgivesversion=0.25.1. Before this change, the unchanged script failed here withno baml.toml found.CLI reference check against the live install
On the live wrapper 0.3.1 + toolchain 0.25.1, the CLI tree matches the one generated through the real wrapper 0.2.5 (downloaded from the
baml-wrapper-0.2.5release) exactly: same nodes, same 34 raw help texts and invocations. The only differences are in the wrapper's own commands: 0.3 droppedtoolchain pinand has a one-line self-update help. That gives 40 commands instead of 41.End to end against wrapper 0.3.1 + 0.25.1, in a clean environment like the CI runner's:

packaging/github-actions/baml-action/action.ymlpinsBoundaryML/setup-baml@01c5b25…, the August code, which runstoolchain usewithout--global. So the fourbaml-action …jobs fail against wrapper 0.3.1 witherror: no baml.toml found. That happens on any PR touching these paths, and baml-action users hit the same error today. The setup-baml jobs pass on all three OSes. None of these checks is required oncanary.The fix for the pin and the mirror sync is #5558, stacked on this PR. Merging this PR first is safe. Its push runs the current sync workflow, baml-action's tests fail on the old pin, and neither mirror changes. #5558 then publishes setup-baml and a baml-action pinned to it.
