#13943 moved the E2E test job's DerivedData under RUNNER_TEMP and merged before this follow-up commit reached the branch, so the fix is on main without the guard that stops it regressing. This carries the guard alone.

What went unchecked

cleanup-app-host-home.sh refuses to inspect an app host whose CMUX_DERIVED_DATA_PATH is outside RUNNER_TEMP, and it runs under if: always(). A job that parks DerivedData anywhere else therefore goes red after its tests pass — which is what the split E2E lane did on every run until #13943.

check_every_app_host_home_is_identified_and_cleaned already finds every job that runs prepare-app-host-home.sh and holds it to a contract, but asserted only the two preconditions prepare needs (CMUX_CI_APP_HOST_ISOLATION_REQUIRED, a decimal CMUX_APP_HOST_SHARD) plus the existence of a failure-gated cleanup step. It never asserted the precondition cleanup itself enforces.

Before / after

before after
workspace-rooted DerivedData in an app-host job green locally, red on a runner fails the guard
job prepares a host but publishes no CMUX_DERIVED_DATA_PATH unchecked fails the guard
typo in the test job's Clean owned DerivedData pattern unchecked fails the suite

Both callers are covered, so this checks the pattern rather than the instance: ci-macos.yml's app-host-unit-tests and test-e2e.yml's test.

Second gap

step() in tests/test_ci_e2e_compilation_cache.py resolves an ambiguous step name to the build job, so the test job's own Clean owned DerivedData arm had no coverage at all. A typo in its ownership pattern would ship green and fail only on a runner, under if: always(), after the tests had already passed — the exact failure shape #13943 repaired.

Verification

Mutation-tested four ways, each failing as intended and passing again on revert:

  • E2E test job reverted to $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/DerivedData/cmux-e2e → FAIL: test-e2e.yml job test puts DerivedData at '$workspace_path/DerivedData/cmux-e2e'
  • ci-macos.yml shard DerivedData moved to /tmp → FAIL: ci-macos.yml job app-host-unit-tests puts DerivedData at '/tmp/...'
  • the GITHUB_ENV publishing step removed → FAIL: ... without publishing CMUX_DERIVED_DATA_PATH
  • one character changed in the test job's ownership pattern → test_the_test_job_cleans_up_the_product_it_restored fails

actionlint clean; all 132 linux-guard tests pass. No workflow changes here — tests only, in two already-registered files.

Summary by cubic

Adds a CI guard that stops app-host workflows from parking DerivedData outside RUNNER_TEMP, the boundary cleanup-app-host-home.sh enforces at runtime. The guard from #13943 never landed in a follow-up, so the fix on main was unprotected and a regression like it would fail only on a runner, under if: always(), after tests already passed.

  • Extendscheck_every_app_host_home_is_identified_and_cleaned to require each app-host job to publish CMUX_DERIVED_DATA_PATH and keep it under RUNNER_TEMP.
  • Adds coverage for the test job's own Clean owned DerivedData step, which an ambiguous step-name lookup previously skipped, so a typo in its ownership pattern would have shipped green.
  • Tests only, no workflow changes.

Written for commit a97b404. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Expanded CI checks to verify that app-host and test-job build data stays within temporary storage and is cleaned up correctly.
    • Added coverage to ensure test jobs do not export a compilation-cache path and that cleanup targets only the build data they own.

The workspace-rooted path this PR moves was invisible to every check.
`check_every_app_host_home_is_identified_and_cleaned` already finds each
job that prepares an app-host home and holds it to that contract, but it
asserted only the two preconditions `prepare` needs, not the one
`cleanup` enforces at runtime: DerivedData under RUNNER_TEMP.

Extending that loop catches the shipped bug at its pattern rather than
its instance. Reverting the workflow to the pre-fix path fails it, as
does moving ci-macos.yml's shard DerivedData out of RUNNER_TEMP or
dropping the publishing step.

The test job's own `Clean owned DerivedData` arm also had no coverage:
`step()` resolves an ambiguous name to the build job, so a typo in the
test job's ownership pattern shipped green and failed only on a runner,
under `if: always()`, after the tests had passed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI tests now check that app-host jobs publish DerivedData paths under RUNNER_TEMP. Added test-job coverage checks path preparation, compilation-cache path absence, and cleanup behavior.

Changes

DerivedData isolation

Layer / File(s) Summary
App-host DerivedData path contract
tests/test_ci_app_host_home_isolation.py
Helpers locate each app-host job’s published CMUX_DERIVED_DATA_PATH and check that it is under RUNNER_TEMP. The app-host home check applies this requirement to each qualifying job.
Test-job preparation and cleanup
tests/test_ci_e2e_compilation_cache.py
New test coverage checks that the prepared DerivedData path is under RUNNER_TEMP and outside the workspace, that no compilation-cache path is exported, and that cleanup rejects an unrelated directory and removes the owned DerivedData path.

The new tests can pass despite DerivedData settings that cause app-host cleanup to fail. Tighten both checks before relying on them to guard the CI jobs.

Match the exact GITHUB_ENV redirect target.

If a step writes to "$GITHUB_ENV.bak", this regex still treats the write as publication. The guard then passes even though later steps do not receive CMUX_DERIVED_DATA_PATH, and cleanup fails. Require the complete redirect target to be $GITHUB_ENV or ${GITHUB_ENV}. Based on learnings, the assertion must bind the value to the actual command target, not only find the key nearby.

Reject paths that escape RUNNER_TEMP after normalization.

If the published value is $RUNNER_TEMP/../outside/DerivedData, this prefix check passes. Runtime cleanup resolves the path and refuses it, so the guard misses the failure it is intended to prevent. Reject .. components after the RUNNER_TEMP prefix, or check a normalized path against a fixture runner-temp directory.

Independent review: SAFE TO MERGE

I wrote this, so an independent reviewer checked it rather than me signing off on
my own work. It was mutation-tested rather than just read, which is the standard
this kind of guard deserves — a guard that can't fail is worse than no guard.

Six mutations, each reverted afterwards, each failing for the right reason:

mutation result
e2e DerivedData → $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/DerivedData/cmux-e2e fails, names the job and path
GITHUB_ENV publish line deleted fails with "without publishing CMUX_DERIVED_DATA_PATH"
ci-macos shard path → /tmp/... fails, names the job
one-char typo in the test job's ownership case pattern fails at :233
ownership *) arm → unconditional rm -rf fails at :230
test prepare exports CMUX_E2E_COMPILATION_CACHE fails at :225

The reviewer also confirmed the guarded contract matches runtime
(cleanup-app-host-home.sh:142-155 does exactly what the guard asserts, under
if: always()), that the new helpers have no other callers, and that the
pre-existing test_cleanup_removes_only_owned_paths still resolves to the
build job so step()'s ambiguity check stays satisfied. Full suites pass on
both the PR head and the main-merged tree.

Three real weaknesses, recorded rather than fixed

None block the merge, but they are worth writing down so nobody assumes the
guard is tighter than it is:

  1. test_ci_app_host_home_isolation.py:210 reads the first NAME="..."
    assignment. A script that assigns a good path and then reassigns it to a
    workspace path right before the echo passes the guard. Contrived, but it
    reads a literal rather than the value in effect.
  2. :229 uses a prefix-only $RUNNER_TEMP/ match, so $RUNNER_TEMP/../DerivedData
    passes here while cmux_validate_app_host_derived_data rejects it at runtime.
    The guard is slightly looser than the boundary it mirrors.
  3. The sweep walks only four workflows. A fifth adopting prepare-app-host-home.sh
    escapes it. Confirmed none currently does.

Merging.
