In @.goreleaser.yml:
- Around line 60-66: Update the GITHUB_ACTIONS shell block to enable fail-fast
behavior with set -e, verify that the installed syft file exists before copying
it, and invoke /usr/local/bin/syft directly for the version check instead of
resolving syft through PATH.
- Line 62: Update the release hook containing the Syft installation and copy
commands to stop immediately when either command fails, by enabling errexit or
chaining the commands with &&. Ensure syft version validation cannot use a
pre-existing binary after an installation failure.

Address CodeRabbit review on #3061: - Fail-fast: the `sh -c` block now runs under `set -e`, verifies the built binary with `test -x`, and invokes `/usr/local/bin/syft` directly. Without this, a failed `go install`/`sudo cp` would fall through to `syft version`, which a pre-existing syft on PATH could satisfy — silently producing SBOMs with the wrong binary. - No duplicate install: the hook now skips when syft is already on PATH. Workflows that own their GoReleaser job (build.yml) install syft via the SHA-pinned anchore/sbom-action/download-syft step, so the hook is a no-op there instead of compiling a second copy; it only installs in the shared reusable workflow, where nothing else provides syft. This keeps build.yml's SHA-pinned action (rather than removing it) while eliminating the redundant build.

PR #2958 added an
sboms:block to.goreleaser.yml, but GoReleaser shells out tosyftto catalog artifacts and nothing installs it in the drafted release path. That job runs GoReleaser inside cloudposse's shared reusable workflow (shared-go-auto-release.yml), which sets up Go but no extra tooling and can't have steps injected — so every release has been failing with:Because the drafted release is gated on the Tests workflow succeeding (
Releaseruns viaworkflow_runwithif: conclusion == 'success'), that GoReleaser failure fails the Tests run and no draft/release is ever cut. This has blocked releases since #2958 merged (2026-08-31).The install has to live in GoReleaser's
