Validate the devbox image pin and report image drift - #12117
lawrencecchen wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
A merged edit under web/services/vms/images/devbox reaches no machine until a snapshot is baked and the manifest bump lands, and nothing said so. Today's default images were baked from 39bfc41 and main is three image inputs ahead of them, including a shell-config fix that users are still waiting for. Each default manifest entry already records the commit it was baked from, so drift is the diff between the image inputs at that commit and the ones in the tree. No schema change, no provider credential, no new state. The Cloud VM image contract workflow reports it on every image-touching PR and push. It is deliberately not a gate: baking needs a credential and real VMs, so source and image are allowed to move apart, but never silently.

Compare image inputs as bytes.
DEVBOX_DESKTOP_FILES includes wallpaper.jpg in web/scripts/devbox-image-common.ts, Lines 174-185. Lines 52 and 62 decode both revisions as UTF-8. Different invalid byte sequences can decode to the same replacement characters. A changed JPEG can then incorrectly report no drift.
Read files as Buffer values and compare non-null values with Buffer.equals. Add a binary-content regression test.
Also applies to: 62-62

Source: Coding guidelines
A promotion rewrites twelve manifest entries at once, so two agents promoting in parallel collide in one file, and hand-resolving that conflict produces valid JSON whose size ladder is half from each bake. A bake taken from a feature branch is the other invisible state: squash merging never puts that commit on main, and deleting the branch takes the lineage with it, so nothing can later say what source the running image came from. Neither is something a later bake fixes, so `--pin` reports them separately from drift and is safe to require. The pull_request trigger loses its path filter for that reason: a required check that never runs blocks a PR forever. Both states are live today. The defaults were baked from 39bfc41, which exists only on feat-vm-guest-trust-dead-code; main carries that work as the squash commit dfb0a6f.

HEAD fallback hides branch bakes
Medium Severity
isLanded treats a commit as landed if it is an ancestor of HEAD, even when it is not on origin/main. A branch bake being promoted in a PR is an ancestor of the PR merge commit, so --pin accepts the exact case it exists to reject. After a squash merge the SHA is gone from main and the check can only fail once the bad pin is already deployed.

Same-commit mix evades pin check
Medium Severity
pinProblems treats repoCommit as bake identity, so a hand-merged ladder from two promotions of the same main SHA looks like one bake. That is the usual collision: parallel promotes share a commit and differ in imageId and builtAt. Different sizes then boot different snapshots and --pin stays green.

Merging an edit under
web/services/vms/images/devbox/reaches no machine until a snapshot is baked and the manifest bump lands, and nothing said so. Two agents promoting at once is worse: a promotion rewrites twelve entries in one file, so they collide there, and the merge a human or agent writes by hand has no bake behind it.Each default entry already records the commit it was baked from, so all of this is derivable with no schema change and no provider credential.
--pin: states no bake can fixmanifest.jsonconflict.CMUX_BAKE_ALLOW_BRANCH=1records a commit that squash merging never puts on main and that disappears when the branch is deleted, so the image's lineage stops being verifiable.Safe to make a required check, which is why the
pull_requesttrigger loses its path filter here: a required check that never runs blocks a PR forever, so the job now always reports and decides internally what to run.Drift: source ahead of the pinned image
Reports the image inputs that changed since the bake, and the promote commands. Expected right after an image source PR merges, and only a bake clears it, so this reports and never gates.
Both states are live on main today
The defaults were baked from
39bfc41fad, which exists only onfeat-vm-guest-trust-dead-code; main carries that work as squash commitdfb0a6fef7. Main is also three image inputs ahead of that bake (Dockerfile,cmux-bashrc,build-devbox-freestyle.ts), so the Option+Backspace fix from #12099 is merged and on no machine. This workflow is not in the required set, so it reports both without blocking anyone; the honest fix is a bake from main.Also adds
skills/cmux-backend/references/devbox-image-deploys.md: what ships on merge (the manifest) versus what ships on a bake, the rule that a manifest conflict is re-promoted rather than hand-resolved (devbox:promote --image <snapshot-id>adopts a snapshot you already baked), and the fact that a bake is not reproducible, so every promotion carries unrelated agent and apt upgrades that the manifest diff is the place to review.Follow-ups worth deciding separately: making this check required, and a
push: mainjob that bakes, verifies and opens the manifest PR by itself.Note
Medium Risk
Changes VM image CI and manifest validation;
--pincan fail builds if enabled as required, and full drift checks depend on complete git history in Actions.Overview
Adds
devbox:drift:checkso merged devbox image source edits cannot silently outpace what VMs actually boot. It compares each default manifest entry’srepoCommitto current image inputs (devbox templates, desktop files,build-devbox-freestyle.ts) and lists changed paths, with a separate--pinmode for manifest states baking cannot fix (mixed bakes per kind after a badmanifest.jsonmerge, or defaults baked from commits not on main).The Cloud VM image contract workflow now runs on every PR (path filter removed so a required check cannot skip forever), uses
fetch-depth: 0for historical file reads, runs--pinas a validating step, addsvm-image-drift.test.ts, and runs the full drift report as an informational step (workflow remains optional for merges).skills/cmux-backend/references/devbox-image-deploys.mddocuments merge vs bake shipping, promote flow, drift, and parallel-promotion conflicts.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit d25b8f7.
