Homebrew Packaging

The draft formula is tnt-chat.rb. The expected install path for users is a project tap first, not Homebrew core:

brew tap m1ngsama/tnt
brew install tnt-chat
brew services start tnt-chat

Homebrew core should wait until TNT has stable releases and broader usage.

Local validation

From a tap repository:

brew audit --strict --online tnt-chat
brew install --build-from-source ./Formula/tnt-chat.rb
brew test tnt-chat
brew services run tnt-chat

For local syntax-only validation from this repository:

ruby -c packaging/homebrew/tnt-chat.rb

Updating the formula

1. Publish a GitHub release tag such as vX.Y.Z.

2. Download or hash the release source archive:

   curl -L -o dist/tnt-chat-vX.Y.Z.tar.gz \
     https://github.com/m1ngsama/TNT/archive/refs/tags/vX.Y.Z.tar.gz
   shasum -a 256 dist/tnt-chat-vX.Y.Z.tar.gz
   

3. Replace REPLACE_WITH_RELEASE_TARBALL_SHA256 in tnt-chat.rb.

4. Run:

   SOURCE_TARBALL=dist/tnt-chat-vX.Y.Z.tar.gz make package-publish-check
   

5. Copy the formula into the tap repository and open a normal review PR.

Do not connect this tap update to production deployment.
