unit-tests.yml moving to [self-hosted, macOS] on a pull_request trigger lets any PR run arbitrary code on novaloop-mac-studio-001 — the same persistent machine, keychain and signing identities the release pipeline uses. The risk was accepted on the strength of the repo being INTERNAL, but that reasoning lived nowhere: nothing in the repo said why it was tolerable, and nothing in CI would ever say it existed. Worth recording because the trade-off is invisible to the required checks. zizmor reports self-hosted-runner only at --persona=auditor; the default persona CI runs suppresses it, so a green build is not evidence of absence. Verified both halves against the fix-fork-ci workflow: auditor reports it at medium severity, the default reports "No findings to report … (3 suppressed)". Records the exits too, so a future reader inheriting this need not rederive them: restrict the trigger to non-fork branches, or return to GitHub-hosted macos-26 with a raised timeout-minutes.
Element X iOS
Element X iOS is the next-generation Matrix client provided by Element.
Compared to the previous-generation Element Classic, it is a total rewrite using the Matrix Rust SDK underneath and targeting devices running iOS 18+.
Rust SDK
Element X leverages the Matrix Rust SDK through an FFI layer exposed as a swift package that the final client can directly import and use. We're doing this as a way to share code between platforms, with Element X Android using the same SDK.
Status
This project is actively developed and supported. New users are recommended to use Element X instead of the previous-generation app.
