The cache-restore composite exposes only an exact-hit flag, which cannot explain whether a restore used a prefix, failed, or selected a different action route on another runner. Add one structured CMUX_CACHE_RESTORE receipt and job-summary entry per restore, including requested backend, selected action route, runner, key/matched key, outcome and elapsed time.

Keep the existing cache-hit output, selection conditions and backend default unchanged. Exact and prefix restores use the pinned actions' outputs. Failed/cancelled steps remain distinct; a successful action without a matched key reports miss_or_unavailable, since suppressed backend errors cannot be distinguished from a miss. Missing/ambiguous evidence remains unknown. Both measurement steps are non-blocking, and reporting does not hide a failed restore. No URLs, credentials or cache paths are recorded.

This complements #13268's optional artifact broker without changing its transport steps, #13260's checkout optimization, or the app-host payload/retention work. It changes no provider credentials, settings, restore order or cache writes.

Provider evidence matters for interpreting receipts: Blacksmith documents transparent cache interception on its Linux VM architecture and explicitly distinguishes ordinary artifact traffic; that is not proof of macOS interception. Warp's cache action supports exact/prefix semantics, while its artifact guide uses GitHub artifact actions. Therefore github-cache means the selected action route, not a verified physical store. R2 custom-domain caching is a separate deployment choice; this patch does not enable it.

Validation: five focused Python tests and the existing read-only cache guard pass, including 18 provider/outcome cases and execution of the actual composite clock/report shell with output-boundary fixtures. The composite-wiring test fails against the previous action and passes after the change. It checks default/output preservation, arbitrary key quoting, duration and summary emission; no provider network calls or native build were run. Mutation regressions confirm that altered measurement commands and overlapping cache routes still fail the exhaustive read-only guard. A path-filtered Linux workflow runs this contract. git diff --check passes.

No latency or dollar saving is claimed: the improvement is trustworthy cache-state evidence for future cohorts. Duration covers lookup, transfer and extraction, and hard runner termination may prevent a final receipt.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The cache-restore action now records timing and provider outcomes, emits a JSON receipt and summary entry, and preserves existing restore outputs. New tests and CI validation cover receipt classification, action wiring, determinism, and read-only constraints.

Changes

Cache restore receipts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Receipt classification and output
scripts/ci/cache_restore_receipt.py, tests/test_ci_cache_restore_receipt.py
The receipt script selects one active route, classifies outcome and hit data, computes elapsed time, and emits JSON and summary data. Tests cover valid, ambiguous, and invalid evidence.
Action timing and receipt wiring
.github/actions/cache-restore/action.yml, tests/test_ci_cache_restore_receipt.py
The composite action records a monotonic start timestamp and runs the receipt script after provider steps. Integration tests verify provider metadata, the receipt record, and the step summary.
CI contract validation
.github/workflows/ci-cache-receipts.yml, tests/test_ci_pull_request_caches_are_read_only.py, tests/test_ci_cache_restore_receipt.py
CI runs receipt tests and strict determinism checks. Read-only validation permits only the prescribed nonblocking receipt steps and excludes them from cache-store checks.

The current filters are positive-only, but the contract test could miss a later exclusion and allow receipt validation to be skipped for an inspected-file change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 8 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

The pull request adds user-visible cache command output and a GitHub job summary. The receipt serializes requested_backend and action_route values such as warp, r2, github-cache, and warp-cache (scripts/ci/cache_restore_receipt.py:37-46). The same record is printed and appended to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY (:56-66), and the action invokes it for every restore (.github/actions/cache-restore/action.yml:69-88). These are upstream/internal provider names and provider-specific routing details. The base action had no receipt or summary output, so the violation is introduced by this pull request. The existing workflow choice is CI configuration, not an explicitly user-configured product UI setting.

Resolution

Remove upstream and internal provider names and provider-specific routing fields from stdout and GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY. Emit only generic cache state and duration in user-visible output. If route or backend evidence is required, send it to sanitized internal telemetry or logs that are not user-visible.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds user-visible rendered Markdown to the GitHub step summary in scripts/ci/cache_restore_receipt.py: ### Cache restore and the English sentence about elapsed time and physical storage. The composite action invokes this script with GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, so the text is emitted in production cache-restore runs. It does not use next-intl or another locale-specific source, and the diff adds no entries to the 20 locale files listed by web/i18n/routing.ts. This matches the rule's failure condition for rendered Markdown or user-facing data. The JSON protocol marker and field names are literal machine tokens, but they do not exempt the added prose.

Resolution

Make the step-summary content locale-aware. Source the heading, labels, and explanatory sentence from a supported locale-specific source and add matching translations for every locale in web/i18n/routing.ts (en, ja, zh-CN, zh-TW, ko, de, es, fr, it, da, pl, ru, bs, ar, no, pt-BR, th, tr, km, and uk). Alternatively, remove the new human-readable Markdown prose and retain only explicitly machine-readable protocol output.

The PR appears safe to merge; no outstanding correctness, security, or repository-rule violations were identified.

Summary

This PR adds structured cache-restore receipts that report the selected action route, restore outcome, matched key, runner metadata, and elapsed time without changing cache selection or write behavior.

  • Measures restore duration with a non-blocking monotonic clock step.
  • Classifies exact hits, prefix hits, misses or unavailable backends, failures, cancellations, and ambiguous evidence.
  • Emits JSON evidence to logs and the GitHub job summary.
  • Adds focused contract, wiring, determinism, and read-only-cache coverage.
  • Expands workflow path filters so changes to all directly inspected cache actions and workflows run the contract.

The general workflow guard caught an integration gap: it treated every composite step as a storage backend, so the two measurement steps violated its three-branch check. This was introduced by this PR, despite the focused reporting contract passing.

The repair recognizes only the two exact nonblocking measurement commands, then applies the existing exhaustive backend conditions, pinned-action and read-only checks to the storage branches. Added regression mutations confirm an altered measurement command or overlapping provider condition still fails. The new regression fails before the guard change; all four focused tests and the actual read-only cache guard pass afterward. No cache behavior or assertion was removed.

This push retains the failed predecessor run35531491815 as evidence. The new head requires its own hosted guard/contract results; no native test or provider benchmark was run locally.

The current general guard found a second integration issue: the reporting-shell test asserted elapsed_seconds >= 0 using real subprocess clock readings. The integration now checks that numeric clock evidence reaches the serialized receipt; exact duration arithmetic and invalid clocks remain covered using injected timestamps. Strict determinism lint reports zero findings, and all four receipt tests plus the actual read-only guard pass locally. The focused workflow now also runs this scoped determinism check. No allowlist entry or production behavior change was added.

The separate web failure in job106133509756 is a startup-process abort, not a failed web assertion: the first tsgo passed, unit tests reported3423 pass/0fail, then Playwright's second tsgo invocation exited134 with a core dump before its server/browser cases started. Predecessor web run35531491883 passed; the web tree/workflow is unchanged between these heads. This does not identify the abort's root cause or clear the current gate. The new repair head will receive fresh hosted validation; no separate retry or web configuration change was made.

The macOS admission failure on0b33f33c4b3ef0d0b4d5ecfbb3e8672c51bd4e22 was before checkout: job106135214887 exhausted six Git fetch attempts across the checkout action and explicit retry, each unable to resolve github.com. The diagnostic curl also exited6. No source checkout, compiler or cache-receipt implementation ran in that job. This is a host/network failure; no source or provider settings change is justified by it.

Separately, the new review finding about focused-workflow routing was valid. Commit599a656341c5c98e3f183870f5445e5c900360f2 adds the three inspected workflow/action inputs to both event filters. Regression66e910b5fe2e3fec838b4b4649e6a8a8da93b50d fails both events before the fix. All5 receipt tests, strict determinism lint and the actual read-only cache guard pass locally afterward. The thread is replied to and resolved.

Auto-merge was disabled before this push. The necessary routing repair triggers fresh hosted validation naturally; no blind rerun, gate bypass or new provider route was introduced. Prior successful guard/web/contract runs remain predecessor evidence only.

Validate ordered path-filter behavior.

issubset checks only positive membership. GitHub Actions evaluates paths patterns in order, so a later matching ! pattern excludes a path. A later !scripts/ci/cache_restore_receipt.py could therefore skip changes to that file while this assertion still passes. Evaluate patterns with ordered matching, or add a mutation test that inserts this negation and asserts failure.

In `@tests/test_ci_cache_restore_receipt.py` at line 34, The assertion around the
ordered path-filter validation currently checks only set membership and misses
later negation patterns. Update the test using the existing path-filter
evaluation behavior, or add a mutation case for a later
!scripts/ci/cache_restore_receipt.py pattern and assert that the affected path
is excluded.
