RemoteTmuxMirror app-host crashes currently leave their crash reports on the runner, so a failed CI run loses the evidence needed to investigate #9348.

When the focused RemoteTmuxMirror step fails, collect crash reports from $CMUX_APP_HOST_HOME/.local/state/cmux/crash/ and the existing $RUNNER_TEMP/cmux-remote-tmux-mirror-*.txt per-suite attempt logs before app-host cleanup. XCTest uses an isolated home, so the runner's $HOME is not the report location. Upload the files as cmux-remote-tmux-mirror-diagnostics-<shard>-<run_attempt> with seven-day retention.

Collection and upload are best effort. The existing retry policy and test failure result are unchanged. This adds evidence for the crash investigation; it does not fix the crash or collect runs that pass after a retry.

Validation:

  • actionlint .github/workflows/ci.yml
  • uv run --with pyyaml python tests/test_ci_app_host_home_isolation.py
  • python3 tests/test_ci_cmux_unit_test_shard.py
  • Executed the collection step in temporary fixtures: reports plus both attempt logs, logs only, reports only, missing files, and unset isolated home. Verified exact collected contents, unrelated-file exclusion, and paths with spaces.
  • git diff --check

Workflow-only change. No app build or live crash reproduction was run; artifact upload will be exercised by the next focused-step failure in GitHub Actions.

Summary by cubic

Preserves RemoteTmuxMirror crash diagnostics when the focused remote tmux mirror step fails, so failed CI runs keep the evidence needed to investigate app-host crashes. Previously crash reports were removed during app-host cleanup; the workflow now copies them and the per-suite attempt logs into a diagnostic artifact with seven-day retention.

  • Reads crash reports from the resolved app-host isolated home, not $HOME, validating the published app-host identity before resolving it, with a sudo fallback.
  • Clears stale per-suite attempt logs before the focused step runs.
  • Collection and upload are best effort; the existing retry policy and test failure result are unchanged.
  • Artifacts are named cmux-remote-tmux-mirror-diagnostics-<shard>-<run_attempt>.

Written for commit 251b050. Summary will update on new commits.

  • Chores
    • Improved automated test failure diagnostics by clearing stale logs before retries.
    • Failed test runs now preserve the original failure status while collecting relevant crash reports and suite logs for short-term troubleshooting.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI workflow now identifies the remote tmux mirror regression step. On failure, it collects isolated app-host crash reports and suite logs, then uploads non-empty diagnostics for seven days without replacing the original failure.

Changes

Remote tmux diagnostics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failure diagnostics collection and upload
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The regression step now has an identifier. The workflow clears stale suite logs, collects crash reports and suite logs after failure, continues when collection or upload fails, omits empty artifacts, and retains uploaded diagnostics for seven days.

Summary

This PR preserves diagnostics from failed RemoteTmuxMirror regression runs before app-host cleanup.

  • Clears prior per-suite logs before running the focused suites.
  • Collects crash reports from the validated isolated app-host home, including homes only accessible through passwordless sudo.
  • Uploads crash reports and attempt logs as a seven-day, best-effort artifact without changing retry or failure behavior.

P1 Permission Check Skips Reports

On runners where the app host belongs to a different console user, its isolated home is owned by that user and has mode 700. This unprivileged directory check therefore cannot traverse the home and returns false, skipping the whole copy block—including the passwordless sudo fallback intended for this case. As a result, the crash reports this change is meant to preserve are omitted from the artifact. Test the directory through the validated sudo path when ordinary access is denied instead of gating that fallback behind [ -d ].
