Walkthrough

This PR shifts CI infrastructure to ARM64 architecture by changing the build-docker action default from amd64 to arm64, updating all CI workflow runners from ubuntu-24.04 to ubuntu-24.04-arm, removing platform constraints from docker-compose-ci.yml services, and adding defensive environment variable defaults throughout the compose configuration.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Build Docker Configuration .github/actions/build-docker/action.yml, docker-compose-ci.yml	Changed build-docker action's default arch input from amd64 to arm64; removed platform: linux/amd64 declarations from docker-compose services and added defensive parameter expansion defaults for environment variables (DENO_VERSION, DOCKER_TAG_SUFFIX_ROCKETCHAT, ROCKETCHAT_LICENSE, COVERAGE_DIR, COVERAGE_REPORTER, COVERAGE_FILE_NAME, DISABLE_DB_WATCHERS, DEBUG)
CI Workflows .github/workflows/ci-code-check.yml, ci-deploy-gh-pages.yml, ci-test-storybook.yml, ci-test-unit.yml, ci.yml	Updated runner specifications from ubuntu-24.04 to ubuntu-24.04-arm across all CI jobs; no changes to workflow logic, steps, or conditions
Dependencies packages/jest-presets/package.json	Downgraded @swc/core from ~1.13.20 to 1.13.19

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

• Docker-compose configuration changes with multiple environment variable defaults require verification that fallback values are appropriate across all services
• Verify ARM64 runner availability and compatibility with all jobs
• Check that the @swc/core downgrade doesn't introduce regressions or security issues

Poem

🐰 ARM64 hops into the fold,
Where ubuntu-24.04 workflows unfold,
No amd64 chains in sight—just defaults so bold,
The docker-compose sings of freedom untold,
Architecture shifts make CI stories retold! 🔧

.github/workflows/ci-test-storybook.yml (1)

22-22: Runner migration to ARM is consistent.

The runner update aligns with the broader CI infrastructure shift to ubuntu-24.04-arm. No functional changes to the workflow logic.

.github/workflows/ci-code-check.yml (1)

18-18: Runner migration to ARM is consistent.

The runner update aligns with the PR's infrastructure shift. The swap space configuration at line 29–31 is architecture-agnostic.

.github/workflows/ci-test-unit.yml (1)

26-26: Runner migration to ARM is consistent.

The runner update aligns with the broader CI infrastructure shift. Test logic remains unchanged.

.github/actions/build-docker/action.yml (1)

15-15: Default arch changed to ARM64.

The architecture default is now arm64 instead of amd64. Since ci.yml's build-gh-docker job explicitly specifies the arch parameter in the matrix (line 324, 337, 351, 366), this change is safe. Verify that any other callers of this action also explicitly specify the architecture.

.github/workflows/ci-deploy-gh-pages.yml (1)

12-12: Runner migration to ARM is consistent.

The runner update aligns with the PR's infrastructure shift. Static asset deployment logic is platform-agnostic.

.github/workflows/ci.yml (2)

272-272: Conditional runner selection based on architecture is correct.

Line 272's logic (ubuntu-24.04${{ matrix.arch == 'arm64' && '-arm' || '' }}) correctly selects the runner based on the target architecture in the matrix. Combined with the multi-arch matrix at line 281 (arm64 and amd64), this ensures:

• ARM builds run on ubuntu-24.04-arm
• AMD64 builds run on ubuntu-24.04

This preserves cross-platform build capability.

---

26-26: Runner migration to ARM is consistent across all jobs.

All primary workflow jobs are migrated to ubuntu-24.04-arm. The report-coverage job at line 590 correctly remains on ubuntu-24.04 (amd64) since it only aggregates coverage reports and doesn't need ARM architecture.

The multi-architecture build matrix is preserved via conditional runner selection at line 272.

Also applies to: 124-124, 167-167, 241-241, 373-373, 642-642, 680-680, 734-734, 850-850

docker-compose-ci.yml (2)

6-6: Defensive environment variable defaults improve robustness.

The addition of ${VAR:-} defaults throughout the compose configuration prevents container initialization failures when environment variables are not set. This is particularly important for:

• DENO_VERSION: empty default is safe (build arg)
• DEBUG: empty default disables debug logging
• ROCKETCHAT_LICENSE: empty default runs without enterprise features
• COVERAGE_*: empty defaults safely disable coverage instrumentation
• DISABLE_DB_WATCHERS: empty default is treated as false

This aligns with the goal of making the ARM-based CI more resilient.

Also applies to: 13-13, 17-17, 23-27

---

8-11: Multi-architecture buildx platform specifications are preserved.

The x-bake platform definitions (lines 8–11, 52–55, etc.) correctly specify both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. These are buildx build platform specifications that determine what the build system produces, not runtime platform constraints. Retaining both architectures is correct for supporting multi-arch deployments from the CI system.

Also applies to: 52-55, 72-75, 92-95, 112-115, 138-141, 159-162, 179-182

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

🧩 Analysis chain

Verify the @swc/core version downgrade.

The version was changed from ~1.13.20 to 1.13.19, which:

1. Downgrades to an older patch version
2. Removes the tilde (~), enforcing strict pinning instead of allowing minor version flexibility

This appears unusual. Clarify whether this downgrade is intentional (e.g., to work around an ARM64 compatibility issue) or unintended.

---

🌐 Web query:

Does @swc/core version 1.13.20 have known issues with ARM64 architecture?

💡 Result:

Short answer: Yes — v1.13.20 had known ARM64 (and Alpine/musl) binary-loading crashes/segfaults; a fix was merged and released in 1.13.21 that improves ARM64 and Alpine (musl) binary loading/validation. [1][2]

Sources:

• PR/commit summary describing ARM64 + musl segfaults and the fix (binary loading/validation + workaround). [1]
• @swc/core changelog showing the 1.13.21 bugfix: "Improve ARM64 and Alpine Linux (musl) binary loading and validation". [2]

Recommendation: upgrade to 1.13.21 (or later).

---

Upgrade @swc/core to 1.13.21 to fix ARM64 issues.

Version 1.13.20 has known ARM64 (and Alpine/musl) binary-loading crashes/segfaults, with a fix released in 1.13.21. Downgrading to 1.13.19 avoids the bug but leaves an older version in place. Instead, upgrade to 1.13.21 or later where the ARM64 issue is resolved. Additionally, consider using a flexible version constraint (e.g., ^1.13.21) instead of strict pinning to allow patch updates.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

In packages/jest-presets/package.json around line 30, the pinned dependency
"@swc/core": "1.13.19" reintroduces an older version that avoids the ARM64 bug
but doesn't include the upstream fix; update the dependency to at least
"1.13.21" (recommended "^1.13.21" to allow patch updates) so the
ARM64/Alpine/musl binary-loading crash is resolved and future patches are picked
up; modify the version string accordingly and run yarn/npm install and tests to
ensure no regressions.
