canic-installer

Published installer and release-set tooling for downstream Canic workspaces.

This crate owns the public thin-root build and staging path:

• build visible canister artifacts through canic-build-canister-artifact
• build the hidden bootstrap store through canic-build-wasm-store-artifact
• emit .dfx/<network>/canisters/root/root.release-set.json
• stage the ordinary release set into root
• resume root bootstrap
• drive the local root install flow against an already running dfx replica

Typical installed binaries:

• canic-build-canister-artifact
• canic-build-wasm-store-artifact
• canic-emit-root-release-set-manifest
• canic-stage-root-release-set
• canic-install-root
• canic-install-reference-topology

Build-profile selection is explicit:

• CANIC_WASM_PROFILE=debug builds raw debug wasm
• CANIC_WASM_PROFILE=fast builds the middle shrunk local/test/demo lane
• CANIC_WASM_PROFILE=release builds the shipping/install lane

If unset, installer/build binaries default to release.

When the Rust workspace root and the DFX/project root differ, set both:

• CANIC_WORKSPACE_ROOT for Cargo, canic.toml, and canister manifests
• CANIC_DFX_ROOT for dfx.json, .dfx, and emitted artifacts
