Summary

  • reuse the compiled integration engine binary instead of rebuilding it after restoring a source target cache
  • allow trusted pushes to main to populate Rust caches while pull requests remain restore-only
  • pin Rust 1.97.1, use locked dependency resolution, and upload Cargo timing reports
  • include previously uncached Rust workspaces used by Harness jobs
  • add a pinned Rust dependency audit and workflow contract coverage

Why

Rust jobs were restoring caches but still rebuilding expensive artifacts, while the primary pull request workflows were configured not to publish updated cache entries. Some workspaces built by the Harness test lanes were also absent from the cache configuration. These changes improve cache reuse and add timing artifacts so remaining compile cost can be measured directly.

Impact

Pull requests should avoid the unconditional integration-engine rebuild when the binary cache matches. Trusted main runs refresh reusable caches, and maintainers gain Cargo timing reports plus dependency-audit coverage.

Validation

  • python3 -m pytest -q .github/scripts/tests/ - 187 passed, 3 subtests passed
  • actionlint -color
  • git diff --check
  • shell syntax checks for the changed E2E scripts
  • cargo fmt --manifest-path harness/Cargo.toml --all -- --check
  • locked Cargo metadata checks for Harness and Database
  • make -C harness integration-validate - 18 scenario fixtures valid

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added automated Rust dependency security audits for pull requests and weekly checks.
    • Added build-timing reports for selected Rust builds.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Standardized Rust builds and tests on a pinned toolchain and committed lockfiles for more reproducible results.
    • Improved CI cache behavior and comparison handling across pull requests and trusted pushes.
  • Documentation
    • Updated testing and CI guidance, including toolchain, caching, lockfile, and workflow coverage details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Rust CI now pins toolchains to 1.97.1, enforces committed lockfiles, controls cache publication by event, captures Cargo timings, and adds scheduled and pull-request dependency audits.

Changes

Rust CI controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pinned toolchains and locked Cargo commands
.github/workflows/*, *-tests.sh, rust-toolchain.toml, docs/architecture/testing-and-ci.md
Rust uses version 1.97.1. Cargo builds, tests, runs, and checks use --locked.
Event-aware CI and cache publishing
.github/workflows/ci.yml, docs/architecture/testing-and-ci.md, .github/scripts/tests/test_rust_ci_workflows.py
CI handles main pushes and pull requests with event-specific base selection, conditions, and cache publication.
Harness caching and build timing
.github/workflows/_harness-*.yml, harness/Makefile, .github/scripts/tests/test_rust_ci_workflows.py
Harness workflows cache the locked engine binary and upload Cargo timing reports.
Rust dependency audit workflow
.github/workflows/rust-security-audit.yml, .github/scripts/tests/test_rust_ci_workflows.py
The audit workflow selects relevant lockfiles, audits them, records failures, and reports the aggregate result.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to aab79

The PR changes CI caching and security-audit workflows, but pull-request runs can currently retain checkout credentials and publish Rust caches, creating credential-exposure and cache-poisoning risks. Merge should wait until these behaviors are restricted to the intended trusted paths.

Poem

I’m a rabbit guarding Cargo’s trail,
With pinned tools and locks that never fail.
Caches rest, then pushes save,
Timing reports hop from build to cave.
Audits sniff each lockfile bright—
CI runs steady through the night.

🌐 Web query:

actions/checkout v5 action.yml persist-credentials default true local git config

💡 Result:

In the actions/checkout action version 5 (v5), the persist-credentials input defaults to true [1][2][3]. When this option is enabled, the action configures the GitHub authentication token or SSH key directly into the local git configuration [1][2][4][5]. This allows subsequent git commands executed within the workflow job to run using the same authenticated credentials [1][4]. These credentials are automatically removed during the post-job cleanup process [1][4]. If you wish to disable this behavior, you can explicitly set persist-credentials to false in your workflow step configuration [1][4]. Note that this behavior was updated in later versions (starting from v6), where credentials began to be stored in the runner's temporary directory instead of the local git config [6].

Citations:


Disable persisted checkout credentials.

actions/checkout@v5 persists the token in the local Git configuration by default. Later steps can read this token from the workspace. This job only needs local repository history, so set persist-credentials: false.

Proposed fix
       - uses: actions/checkout@v5
         with:
+          persist-credentials: false
           fetch-depth: 0

Restrict Rust cache saves to trusted invocations.

The workflow runs on pull_request, and both Swatinem/rust-cache@v2 steps default to save-if: true. Set save-if explicitly so pull requests restore caches but cannot publish them. Preserve cache saving only for the validated Release Control dispatch path.
