feat(mobile): add v2 preview store builds

[juliusmarminge]

Mobile users testing v2 desktop releases need a matching mobile build without installing a separate app. Add a v2-preview store build profile that keeps the production app IDs and disables OTA updates. The existing manual mobile workflow now offers that profile; select the v2 branch and mode=build to build and submit it. The preview profile rejects source branches that do not use orchestration protocol v2 before submission. Android previews submit to the closed alpha track instead of the existing internal track.

Validation: resolved iOS and Android build/submission profiles with the EAS JSON parser, evaluated both Expo configs to confirm matching app IDs and preview-only OTA disablement, parsed the workflow YAML and checked its shell syntax, checked formatting on both files, and executed the source guard against both v2 and mainline code. This changes release configuration, so app screenshots do not apply.

Model: GPT-6. Harness: Codex.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for manually creating mobile v2-preview builds alongside production builds.
  • Preview builds use a dedicated release channel, retain the production app identity, and require protocol version 2.
  • Android preview submissions are directed to the alpha testing track.
  • Build summaries and job names identify the selected build profile.

• Changes

  • Over-the-air updates are disabled for preview builds, and preview OTA updates are rejected.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This adds a manually selected EAS store-release path that auto-submits production-identity iOS/Android builds, routes Android to the alpha track, and disables OTA for those binaries. Existing production defaults remain unchanged, but the new release and distribution behavior warrants human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The mobile EAS workflow supports production and v2-preview manual builds. The v2-preview profile disables OTA, requires protocol version 2, and uses dedicated build and submission settings.

Changes

Mobile EAS profile selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
EAS profile configuration apps/mobile/eas.json	Adds v2-preview build and submission profiles. The build profile uses store distribution, the v2-preview channel, and disabled mobile updates. The submission profile targets Android’s completed alpha track.
Workflow profile selection and validation .github/workflows/mobile-eas-production.yml	Adds a required profile input, rejects v2-preview OTA requests, validates protocol version 2, includes the profile in job and summary names, and passes it to manual EAS builds.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

🟠 Major · Validate the v2 preview ref directly. · .github/workflows/mobile-eas-production.yml:145-152

145-152: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Validate the v2 preview ref directly. packages/contracts/src/environment.ts has no ORCHESTRATION_PROTOCOL_VERSION export. The imported namespace therefore provides undefined, so the comparison always throws for every authenticated manual v2-preview dispatch, including the v2 branch, before eas build.

Use the existing GITHUB_REF_TYPE and GITHUB_REF_NAME metadata:

Proposed fix

-          node --input-type=module -e '
-            import * as environment from "./packages/contracts/src/environment.ts";
-            if (environment.ORCHESTRATION_PROTOCOL_VERSION !== 2) {
-              throw new Error("V2 previews require a v2 source branch. Select the v2 branch when running this workflow.");
-            }
-          '
+          if [ "$GITHUB_REF_TYPE" != "branch" ] || [ "$GITHUB_REF_NAME" != "v2" ]; then
+            echo "::error::V2 previews require the v2 branch."
+            exit 1
+          fi

@coderabbitai The latest outside-diff finding is a false positive. actions/checkout checks out the branch selected for the manual dispatch before the source guard runs. The intended v2 source branch, t3code/codex-turn-mapping, exports ORCHESTRATION_PROTOCOL_VERSION = 2 in environment.ts. I executed the exact guard against that source and it passed with protocol 2. The same guard rejects mainline source, where the export is absent, as intended. This main-based PR only exposes the workflow input; the configuration and guard are already pushed to the v2 source branch. Keeping protocol validation allows any compatible v2 source branch without hardcoding a branch named v2. No code change is needed for this finding.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@juliusmarminge Thanks for the detailed verification. The checkout occurs before the guard, so the guard reads packages/contracts/src/environment.ts from the selected dispatch source branch. The protocol-version check correctly supports compatible v2 branches without requiring a branch named v2.

I withdraw the finding.

Learning: In `.github/workflows/mobile-eas-production.yml`, `v2-preview` workflow dispatches validate the selected source by checking `packages/contracts/src/environment.ts` has `ORCHESTRATION_PROTOCOL_VERSION === 2`. The workflow does not require a branch with a specific name.
