ci: bound compiler and local build caches - #1390
Conversation
pr_quality.yml / pr_linux.yml / pr_website.yml pin their lane call to Mesh-LLM/mesh-llm/.github/workflows/ci-*-lane.yml@main, so an edit to a reusable slice workflow is never exercised by this PR's own required checks -- it only runs for the first time after merging to main. That is what caused #1376/#1377 (see mesh-dev channel, 2026-08-19). This mirrors the three PR entry workflows, with the lane uses: unpinned (./... instead of ...@main) so it resolves from this branch's tip instead of main, exercising this branch's edits to ci-quality-slice.yml, ci-linux-lane.yml's slices, and ci-website-lane.yml's slices before merge. Triggered on push-to-branch, not pull_request: scripts/tests/test_pr_workflow_artifacts.py:: test_pr_validation_has_exactly_five_focused_entrypoints asserts every pull_request-triggered workflow is one of the five pr_*.yml files, and that check runs against PR content directly (not main-pinned) -- a sixth pull_request-triggered file reds the real PR / Quality. plan-ci still receives event_name: pull_request / original_event_name: pull_request as explicit inputs so it selects the pr-ready profile (full rows, not the draft-collapsed set); scripts/plan-ci.py rejects a pr-* profile paired with any other event value, so those stay as written. base_sha comes from a merge-base against the default branch instead of the PR API, since push events have no PR object. Verified: actionlint clean; the four workflow-contract test modules (test_pr_workflow_artifacts, test_reusable_workflow_runner_trust, test_ci_lane_workflows, test_ci_workflow_artifacts) all pass -- 60/60. Throwaway: deleted in the final commit of this branch, before merge. Not part of the checked five-entry PR shape. Co-authored-by: Claide <noreply@anthropic.com>
Six sites run `verify-runner-image public` with no backend arg, asserting only that the runner image is present -- not which backend family it is. Add `cpu`, matching what these jobs actually consume (confirmed: node-sdk-addon-artifact.yml already asserts `public cpu` against the same digest these six sites pull). No behaviour change if the premise holds; fails loudly, before any later chunk builds on the assumption, if it does not. ci-linux-runtime-slice.yml (passes matrix.runtime.verify_backend) and ci-runner-contract-slice.yml (self-hosted) are untouched -- they already assert a specific backend.
test_external_actions_have_sha_and_release_provenance keys off the literal substring "uses:" per line, with no YAML awareness. The throwaway harness's explanatory comment on line 14 contained `` `uses:` `` in backticks to describe the lane call's pin style, which the test read as an actual uses: value and failed asserting it against the exact-SHA-pin regex. Reworded the comment to describe the same thing without the literal substring. No behavior change.
…ner image Run the reusable scripted-binary-smoke job inside the prebuilt mesh-llm-cuda-runner (public/cpu) image instead of apt-get-verifying curl/jq/lsof against the stock ubuntu-24.04 image. The job still stays pinned to runs-on: ubuntu-24.04 (GitHub-hosted, not depot/self-hosted) so HF_TOKEN never touches self-hosted infra -- the container only swaps in prebuilt tooling, matching the verify-runner-image contract already used by the other slice/artifact workflows.

This pull request is currently a draft. Reviews will not take place until the PR is marked as ready for review. |
|
Temporarily closing this draft while the branch-only cache benchmark runs, to avoid launching unrelated PR suites. It will be reopened after the measurement-only workflow is removed. |
|
Closing the draft again briefly: the first benchmark audit found a differing old protected-workflow crate partition, so I am rerunning cold and warm shards from one exact matrix before reporting timing deltas. |
|
Measured CI cache results (no modeled estimates): Evidence:
Critical-path compile time fell from 398s to 353s (45s / 11.3%). Aggregate whole-job runtime, including container/setup/restore, fell from 1,011s to 885s (126s / 12.5%); critical-path job runtime fell from 495s to 450s (45s / 9.1%). Queue delay is excluded. The seed measured 162,503,887 bytes on disk (155,960,695-byte Actions archive), took 170s to generate once, and 2s to save. Exact restores took 2–4s per shard. All warm gates passed and cache read/write errors were zero. The temporary benchmark workflow was removed, all measurement-only cache archives were deleted, and the final branch tree is identical to implementation commit fad068f. |

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/_tmp-pr-head-validate.yml:
- Around line 1-34: Delete the temporary workflow file entirely before the final
merge; do not retain its workflow_dispatch trigger or any other content, as
_tmp-pr-head-validate.yml must not reach main.
In @.github/workflows/cache-warm-sccache.yml:
- Around line 62-64: Replace the direct cargo clippy invocation in the “Compile
the dominant host dependency graph” step with the applicable Justfile seed-build
recipe, while preserving the existing cache-hit condition.
- Around line 44-45: Update the seed key generation and corresponding
restore-key logic in the cache-warming and runtime-slice workflows to include
each runtime row’s container image and toolchain epoch, or explicitly classify
mismatched-image/toolchain restores as cold. Keep all cache key producers and
consumers synchronized so runtime evidence only treats compatible compiler
caches as warm.
In `@scripts/manage-build-cache.py`:
- Around line 237-246: Update the pruning flow around active_compilers() and
.mesh-llm-cache-prune.lock so local build and prune paths acquire the same
shared lock before compiler checks and incremental deletion, preventing builds
from starting during cleanup; retain active-process detection only as a
best-effort safeguard if synchronization cannot be shared. Document the
resulting locking behavior in CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Around line 133-137: Update remove_tree to avoid resolving the candidate path
for deletion: preserve symlink entries as links by rejecting them or unlinking
the original path, and pass only the original non-symlink path to shutil.rmtree
after validating its target scope without following the candidate into the
deletion operation.
- Around line 102-103: Update the root discovery logic in manage-build-cache to
include target/<triple>/<profile> directories, including paths such as
target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug, while preserving the existing */deps and
*/build discovery. Add coverage for the cross-target debug profile layout.

Restores main to the tree of 6cc9f50, the last commit green on all four lanes. #1390's branch was cut from a local main carrying four #1380 commits. The squash merge took only the net diff, so chunk-1's `packages: read` request on scripted-binary-smoke.yml landed without the caller grant that satisfies it, and Main / Linux began failing at run creation with a zero-job startup_failure. The cache work re-lands as its own PR with the foreign commits stripped; the containerization re-lands via #1380, which owns both halves.
