WolfServe v0.3.0

v0.3.0: CLI args, binary releases, curl-pipe installer

WolfStack's components page has had a broken Install button for
WolfServe since the monorepo split — its installer URL 404'd and there
were no binary releases to install from anyway. This release makes
WolfServe installable the same way as WolfProxy:

• CLI args: --version / --test / --help / --config. Previously ANY
  invocation started the full server and wrote a default wolfserve.toml
  into the cwd — so WolfStack's 'wolfserve --version' probe would orphan
  a listener (the exact wolfproxy v0.4.7 bug) and litter config files.
  --test validates the config + Apache vhosts without touching disk.
• release.yml: static musl builds (x86_64 + aarch64), cosign keyless
  signatures, SLSA provenance, SHA256SUMS — same pipeline as wolfproxy,
  releases on every push to main touching the crate.
• setup.sh: curl-pipe installer that downloads the latest release
  binary (checksum-verified), installs PHP-FPM with a dedicated
  'wolfserve' pool on 127.0.0.1:9993, writes the default config and
  systemd unit, and starts the service. No Rust toolchain needed.

Verifying this release

Each binary is signed via cosign keyless OIDC and ships with a SLSA build provenance attestation.

Verify the cosign signature:

cosign verify-blob \
  --bundle wolfserve-x86_64.cosign.bundle \
  --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github.com/wolfsoftwaresystemsltd/wolfserve/\.github/workflows/release\.yml@.*' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  wolfserve-x86_64

Verify the build provenance:

gh attestation verify wolfserve-x86_64 --repo wolfsoftwaresystemsltd/wolfserve

Verify the SHA-256 checksum:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

Artifacts

• wolfserve-x86_64 / wolfserve-aarch64 — static musl binaries (Linux x86_64 and ARM64).
• wolfserve-<arch>.cosign.bundle — cosign signature bundle (cert + signature + Rekor entry).
• SHA256SUMS — checksums for both binaries.

v0.2.2 - WordPress Login Fix

Bug Fix

• Fixed Set-Cookie header handling: WordPress login now works correctly. Previously, when WordPress set multiple cookies on login (3-4 cookies), only the last one was being returned to the browser. Now all Set-Cookie headers are properly preserved using append() instead of insert().

v0.2.1 - Simplified Startup

Changes

• Removed PHP-FPM prerequisite check from run_bin.sh
• Assumes PHP-FPM is already installed via install_service.sh
• Cleaner, faster startup
