Summary

• Delete the Go Server module and its dedicated CI, images, release component, generated-code target, dependencies, and current-tree licensing entries; preserve historical license attribution.
• Keep the extracted server-zd integration suite and PostgreSQL Attribute Sync CI; make Check Gate wait for the extracted suite.
• Update contributor/module documentation and synchronize agent rules, retaining applicable Go conventions for server-zd/integ.

Why

The remaining modules no longer import the Go Server after #1058. SDK/examples CI now runs against server-zd (#1052), the server integration suite is an independent module (#1053), and push Workers have been removed from all SDKs (#1023–#1029). Keeping the retired server tree leaves obsolete build, generation, image publication, release, and CI paths behind.

Migration

Go Server users must deploy server-zd and run dex-web separately for the console, or use dexcli dev for local development. The Go Server binaries and the dex-server / dex-server-all-in-one images are no longer built or published from this repository. Existing release tags and published artifacts remain available for migration. The final Go Server release is server/v1.25.0; the tag archive/temporal-go-server marks the last main commit that contains the Go Server source.

server-zd supports the PostgreSQL Attribute Store only. Cadence, Temporal-based server deployments, MySQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, and Databricks Attribute Stores, and push Workers are not supported. Use pull Workers. StartFlow returns INVALID_ARGUMENT when flow_start_delay_seconds > 0 or retry_policy is set (see #995 and #996); remove Flow start delay and Flow-level retry options before migrating. Redis Attribute Store sync for server-zd is tracked in #616. SDK APIs and the protobuf source are unchanged by this PR.

Web and CLI release selection now watches all sdk-go/** changes because both consume the extracted SDK packages. This intentionally includes SDK README and integration-test changes.

Main continues publishing superdurable/dex-web:latest; the unchanged docker-image-web-release.yml continues publishing versioned Web images on web/v* releases. On origin/main, the deleted docker-image-release.yml published only Go Server and all-in-one images; it never published Dex Web.

server-zd release packaging

Move the existing LICENSE.md, LEGACY_NOTICES.md and LICENSES/ files byte-for-byte into server-zd, and update only their copy paths in server-zd/Dockerfile and server-zd-binary-release.yml. Server-zd image names and binary/image publication behavior are unchanged.

Agent rules

Remove Temporal skill routing, interpreter component rules, server log-tag rules, Gin-specific API error handling, and the deleted config-directory exception. Retarget the applicable Go ordering, naming, pointer, dependency, error and testing rules to server-zd/integ/**/*.go in all three rule systems. Keep unrelated rules unchanged.

Review fixes

Restore the Web main image publisher and the historical server/ | MIT cutoff row in all eight affected notices, plus the legacy source-license policy entry. Correct the license-tool source path and contributor toolchain reference. Remove unused Docker log tooling and release-selection exclusions, complete the module table, synchronize rule test targets, and trigger server-zd image/binary smoke coverage for packaged license changes.

Testing

Review follow-up verification:

• make copyright-check and make release-tooling-test (13 tests) pass.
• make -C server-zd/integ compile passes with both integration build-tag configurations.
• The Makefile binary harness and basic-flow selection passes against released server-zd v0.1.11 (8 tests); SQL/MongoDB Attribute Sync and S3 coverage remain in CI. An initial unfiltered integration run was stopped before its external-store cases, then replaced with the dependency-free selection.
• actionlint .github/workflows/*.yml reports only the pre-existing skills-ci SC2129 warning; actionlint -ignore SC2129 .github/workflows/*.yml passes.
• All nine legacy-cutoff notice sections match their origin/main originals verbatim; the restored Web main job and existing Web release workflow also match their original bodies verbatim.
• No files under docs/ changed in the review follow-up, so its docs build was not repeated.

Passed locally:

• Build the seven remaining go.work modules with the workspace on and off; all production packages build. In examples/go, build production packages separately because the pre-existing integration helpers reference declarations in main_test.go.
• Compile every package's tests with go test -exec /usr/bin/true ./... in all seven modules, workspace on and off; execute every package test outside external integration directories in both modes, plus the extracted binary-harness tests.
• DEX_SERVER_ZD_BINARY=/tmp/dex-cli-zd-release/dex-server-zd make -C sdk-go e2eTests (released server-zd v0.1.11): full Go SDK integration suite, Web scenarios, and real-server pull-worker tests.
• make -C server-zd/integ compile check-scripts; go vet ./... with workspace on/off and with/without attributestore_integration.
• make generated-code-check using protoc 35.1 and its bundled includes: no generated diff and no .proto changes.
• make copyright-check copyright-test rust-rules-check ci-runner-check and the license migration integration test.
• make release-tooling-test (13 tests).
• cd docs && npm run check: typecheck, both locales, links/anchors, routes, redirects, canonical/robots/sitemap audit (168 indexable routes, 13 redirects).
• Actionlint across all workflows reports only the known skills-ci SC2129; actionlint -ignore SC2129 .github/workflows/*.yml passes.

Known baseline limitation: literal go build ./... in examples/go fails in both workspace modes because integ/flow_smoke_helper.go references dexcliPath, examplesAPIURL, flowServiceAddress and other declarations from main_test.go. These files are unchanged; all test packages compile and production packages build in both modes. No tests or assertions were skipped or modified for this limitation.

CI covers the complete extracted real-server suite, PostgreSQL Attribute Sync, remaining SDK/examples E2E suites, and image builds. No docker compose or external database stack was started locally.

Reference audit and follow-up

No active module, build, script, workflow, or product-doc snippet depends on the removed root server module. No docs/content or zh-Hans page imports or raw-loads server config/code, so product content is unchanged. No tracked CODEOWNERS, labeler, Dependabot, or Renovate config needs adjustment.

Intentional grep matches remain in:

• docs/archive and docs/design historical design notes, plus server-zd/integ/DEPENDENCY_AUDIT.md with source-commit links.
• License lineage for surviving files, the immutable license migration report, and byte-identical moved legacy notices; deleting these source references would erase attribution.
• Release-pinned skills references, baselines and validator fixtures. Skills updates must wait for a published Dex release containing this removal; that release is the follow-up blocker.
• Negative checks rejecting the removed module/release tags; repository homepage URLs; independent examples/go/server, examples/go/cmd/server, examples/rust server, s3mock-server and codec-server paths.

Full grep classification and command are in the local removal report. No active root server path remains outside these intentional historical or unrelated matches. Product-doc migration and protocol cleanup remain separate follow-up PRs. The server-zd owner follow-up #1060 tracks replacing the stale Go Server fallback advice in attribute_store_config.rs with accurate PostgreSQL-only guidance. The existing documented ci:fast-merge requirement for Server Integration against server-zd is retained. Pre-existing Check Gate filter and main-ci-all dispatch gaps remain follow-up work.
