scripts/ci/cmux_workload_profile.py refuses every real checkout that has a materialized submodule, with checkout submodule status is malformed. This came up during the first mini canary for #13491: Glaeda accept-local ran cmux.macos.dev-check@1 on a clean checkout of 34ebc29 and the profile runner stopped after 0.4 s, before any build.

Cause: git_text() returned stdout.strip(). For a clean gitlink, git submodule status --recursive starts each line with a space. The strip removed that space from the first line only, so source_identity() read the first SHA character as the status marker and found no space at column 41. The unit tests fed pre-shaped lines to a mocked git_text, so they never saw the strip.

Fix: git_text() now removes only trailing newlines. Leading whitespace is data for submodule status and for porcelain status. The other callers (rev-parse values, emptiness checks) are unaffected.

Commit 1 adds test_source_identity_accepts_real_checkout_with_clean_submodule, which builds a real temporary superproject with a clean submodule and runs source_identity() against it. It fails on the old code with the same error. Commit 2 is the fix.

Local run: the new test passes. test_forced_cleanup_receipt_reports_unsettled_process_group (needs Linux) and test_runtime_product_identity_covers_neighboring_product_bytes (/tmp symlink on macOS) also fail on unmodified main on macOS, so this change does not cause them.

This does not fix two separate Glaeda bootstrap defects that block the same canary. They are reported on the issue.


Summary by cubic

Fixes the workload profile runner rejecting real checkouts with materialized submodules because of stripped leading whitespace in git output.

Bug Fixes

  • git_text() now removes only trailing newlines so git status output retains the submodule status marker.
  • git_text() callers are now agnostic to the output format instead of silently relying on whitespace changes.
  • Adds a test that runs source_identity() on a real temporary superproject with a clean submodule.

Written for commit 97844b5. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of Git output so clean submodules are correctly recognized when determining source identity.
    • Added coverage for source identity checks using a real repository with a clean submodule.

git_text() stripped both ends of git output, so the first line of
`git submodule status --recursive` lost the space that marks a clean
gitlink. source_identity() then read the SHA as the status marker and
refused every checkout with a materialized submodule as malformed, which
blocks cmux.macos.dev-check and compile-admission on real checkouts.

Walkthrough

git_text now preserves leading whitespace in Git output while removing trailing newline characters. A new test creates a parent repository with a clean submodule and checks the repository identity returned by source_identity.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve Git output whitespace and test clean submodules
scripts/ci/cmux_workload_profile.py, tests/test_ci_workload_profiles.py
git_text removes trailing newline characters without stripping leading whitespace. A new test uses real Git repositories to check that source_identity returns manaflow-ai/cmux for a parent repository with a clean submodule.

The new checkout test may fail on machines with commit signing enabled. Isolating its Git configuration would make the test reliable; the remaining risk is limited to test execution.

Isolate global Git configuration for the checkout test.

GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM disables system configuration, but the helper still reads the caller's global configuration. If commit.gpgSign=true and no signing key is available, a fixture commit fails before the regression assertion. Isolate HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME for the entire test, including source_identity(). Git documents both the global configuration lookup and commit-signing setting. (git-scm.com)

As per coding guidelines, Test Determinism prohibits “Order-dependence on shared static / global / UserDefaults / file state that is not reset per test.”

Review — holds up, merging

CI helper plus its test, all checks green, CLEAN. Read the full diff.

The fix is right and the reasoning is the load-bearing part: .strip() discarded a leading space that is data, not padding. git submodule status marks a clean gitlink with a leading space (- uninitialised, + out of sync, clean), and porcelain status uses column 1 for the index and column 2 for the worktree, so a worktree-only change reads as a leading space too. Stripping it made a clean submodule indistinguishable from an uninitialised one. rstrip("\n") keeps column 1 while still dropping the trailing newline every git command emits.

test_source_identity_accepts_real_checkout_with_clean_submodule is the right kind of test for this: it builds an actual parent repo with an actual submodule and runs the real source_identity against it, rather than mocking git_text and asserting the mock. A mock would have encoded the same wrong assumption the bug came from. The protocol.file.allow=always and GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1 settings are needed for submodule add from a local path under a hermetic environment, so they're load-bearing rather than incidental.

Scope: scripts/ci/ and tests/, no product code, no workflow files. The test file already exists, so the test-execution registry needs no update.

Non-blocking: rstrip("\n") now also preserves trailing spaces, which git's porcelain output doesn't use meaningfully — harmless here, but if a future caller compares these strings for equality it's the kind of thing that surprises once.

Enabling auto-merge; required checks remain the gate.
