Summary

  • derive native GitHub cache permission from the protected runner policy
  • disable every checked-in native cache consumer for Depot-selected direct PR jobs
  • keep install/build commands, artifacts, matrices, dependencies, summaries, and five-lane CI shape unchanged
  • document that runtime Depot/WebDAV/no-token sentinel proof remains required before PR activation

Cache coverage

This gates pnpm/npm setup caches, Swatinem/rust-cache, static/Metal/Swift/Windows ABI caches, CUDA/Vulkan GitHub cache integration, and the ROCm installer cache. Job-local PR sccache remains enabled.

Hosted PRs and trusted main/release/manual paths retain their existing cache behavior.

Validation

  • just ci-validate — 444 passed, 7 skipped; actionlint and all repository consistency checks passed
  • focused selector/cache/audit/lane/trust suites — 110 passed
  • independent structural audit — all five PR and five main entrypoints byte-identical; all 17 changed reusable workflows preserve jobs, matrices, needs, commands, containers, artifacts, stable summaries, fail-fast, and parallelism
  • independent cache-consumer closure audit — no unguarded eligible consumer found
  • git diff --check

Remaining rollout gates

This PR intentionally does not enable DEPOT_PR_RUNNERS_ENABLED or DEPOT_PR_CANARY_REF, alter runner groups, or change Depot settings. A bounded runtime canary must still prove no ambient Depot/WebDAV/registry authority, provider parity, and rollback behavior.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added centralized CI cache controls based on runner policy.
    • Depot-selected pull requests now skip native GitHub caching while continuing installation, builds, and artifact regeneration on cache misses.
    • Extended policy-based cache controls across Linux, macOS, Windows, UI, web, SDK, ABI, and quality workflows.
    • Preserved native caching for release and warm-cache workflows.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified cache behavior, prerequisites, and runtime isolation validation requirements.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for cache-policy outputs and conditional cache behavior across supported CI scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runner selector now emits allow_native_github_cache. CI workflows and cache actions use this output to disable native GitHub caches for directly Depot-selected pull requests while preserving installation and rebuild behavior.

Changes

Native cache policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runner policy output
.github/actions/select-ci-runners/action.yml, scripts/tests/test_ci_artifact_actions.py
The selector defaults native GitHub caching to enabled and disables it for directly Depot-selected pull requests. Tests cover hosted, fork, dispatched, untrusted, and canary paths.
Workflow and action cache gating
.github/actions/*, .github/workflows/*
Workflows expose the policy output and conditionally run Rust, package, ABI, SDK, CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, and Swift cache consumers. Release and warm-cache workflows explicitly enable Windows native caching.
Validation and documentation
scripts/tests/*, ci/*, .omo/specs/*, .agents/skills/manage-ci/*
Tests cover workflow propagation and cache expressions. Documentation records Depot cache behavior and runtime canary requirements.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 302f0

The PR isolates native cache behavior for selected PR runners while preserving CI commands, artifacts, matrices, and trusted-path behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

In @.github/actions/restore-windows-abi-cache/action.yml:
- Around line 30-33: Make the allow-native-github-cache inputs in both
.github/actions/restore-windows-abi-cache/action.yml lines 30-33 and
.github/actions/setup-windows-rocm-sdk/action.yml lines 13-16 fail closed by
changing their defaults to false or making them required; update approved
release and Windows cache-warming callers to pass true explicitly.

In @.github/workflows/ci-platform-checks-slice.yml:
- Line 59: Define and deploy the allow_native_github_cache output in the
base-branch policy action before this workflow consumes
steps.policy.outputs.allow_native_github_cache. Ensure the policy action exposes
the output so the cache restore and save conditions receive a non-empty value.
