ci: seed j14 DerivedData on a trusted-only owned mini

[teamleaderleo]

What

Owned std minis (pool glaeda-std-xcode-26.6, M4 Pro, 14 CPUs) compile at -j14, and no j14 seed exists. A cold mini adopts the j12 seed, every SwiftDriver task is signature-changed, 62 modules re-emit and cmuxTests recompiles in full (manaflow-ai/cmuxterm-hq#590: #14313 and #14295, about 900 s of cmuxTests SwiftCompile).

This adds a fourth seed pool to seed-derived-data.yml:

• SEED_TRUSTED_POOL is vars.CI_SEED_TRUSTED_POOL, and only on a push to main in manaflow-ai/cmux. Unset, the matrix is unchanged.
• The pool is a trusted-only runner (glaeda-trusted-std-xcode-26.6, glaeda docs/CMUX_MINI_RUNNER.md 2e, glaeda-cmux-runner: trusted-only runners for a mini that holds a secret teamleaderleo/glaeda#1203). Its job-started hook admits only a push to main, so a dispatch or branch push never queues there.
• It compiles with the lane's Xcode (CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_PR, 26.6) at the default canonical root, so its key matches owned admission's except for j14.
• It never publishes the app-host product; the first pool still does.
• SEEDED_JOB_WIDTHS gains 14, so a j14 admission picks its own width first and other widths can fall back to it.

The seed job gets the ci-cache-writer credentials per job, so the host must run no pull request code. The trust design is on cmuxterm-hq#590. The variable stays unset until the runner is installed.

Tests

• python3 -m unittest tests.test_seed_derived_data (36, including two new ones: the trusted pool joins only on a main push with the variable set and uses the lane's Xcode and the writer environment; j14 seeds are preferred at j14 and used as a fallback elsewhere)
• tests.test_seed_decide, tests/test_reuse_app_host_products.py, tests.test_ci_owned_build_state, tests.test_ci_git_seed, tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, actionlint

Summary by cubic

Seeds DerivedData for owned std minis at -j14, so cold M4 Pro runners no longer adopt a j12 seed and re-emit all modules.

• Adds a fourth seed pool, CI_SEED_TRUSTED_POOL, that joins only on a push to main in manaflow-ai/cmux; unset, the matrix is unchanged.
• The pool is a trusted-only runner holding the ci-cache-writer credentials and never publishes the app-host product, so it never runs pull request code.
• The runner compiles with the lane's Xcode at the default canonical root; a non-default root would key the seed to one compile slot and is refused.
• The trusted runner saves no git object seeds, since its reused workspace .git grows across checkouts and the Blacksmith pools already save the same key.
• Adds 14 to SEEDED_JOB_WIDTHS so a j14 admission prefers its own width and other widths can fall back to it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Build Improvements
  • Builds using the j14 configuration can now reuse seed data from earlier revisions when a current-revision seed is unavailable.
  • Main-branch builds can optionally include a configured trusted pool. Jobs on that pool do not save Git-object seeds; other main-branch seed jobs continue to do so.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflow conditionally adds a trusted pool to seed decisions and the job matrix. Seed lookup now supports width 14, and trusted-pool jobs do not save the git-object seed.

Changes

Trusted seed pool and width fallback

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Width 14 seed lookup scripts/ci/seed_derived_data.py, tests/test_seed_derived_data.py	Seed lookup now considers width 14. Tests cover preference for j14 seeds and fallback to j12 seeds.
Conditional trusted pool .github/workflows/seed-derived-data.yml, tests/test_seed_derived_data.py	The workflow adds the configured trusted pool to seed decisions and the job matrix only under the specified push conditions. Trusted-pool jobs do not save the git-object seed. Tests cover pool selection and job settings.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a46bd

The workflow currently has no detected functional failure, but a trusted-pool-specific wiring regression could pass the test suite. Add the linked assertion for stronger CI configuration coverage.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a46bd

The workflow restricts when the new runner is selected, and the pool is disabled until configured. The remaining risk is that cache-writer credentials would be used on a new host whose isolation from pull-request workloads is not verified here.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: The new pool would run a cache-writer job on a reused host. Workflow gating limits this job, but the claimed host-level exclusion of pull-request jobs is external to the reviewed configuration. If that isolation fails, the writer credentials and shared seed cache become exposed to code on that host; no such failure is established here.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — If a producer with cache-write authority publishes a bad seed, width fallback can carry that object into builds on another runner width. The available evidence does not establish that an unprivileged actor has cache-write authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A viable host-to-cache path would require pull-request code to run on the privileged host, or another compromise of its writer credentials. The described job-started hook is intended to prevent the first precondition, but its enforcement and the cache backend's write controls are not available to verify. No successful attack path is established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Selection of the trusted pool requires the configured variable, canonical repository, push event, and main ref. Its seed job receives writer credentials; the workflow's own trigger does not include pull requests.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Width preference and cold-build recovery limit the effect of a missing or failed seed, but do not establish the provenance of a successfully retrieved object.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Before enabling the pool, verify that the runner's admission policy excludes pull-request workloads, that writer credentials cannot persist across reused jobs, and that cache write permissions and overwrite behavior match the intended producer trust boundary.

Add a trusted-pool output-to-matrix wiring test.

The current assertions check the optional argument and the matrix expression separately. They do not prove that the trusted pool survives seed_decide.py output serialization and reaches fromJSON(needs.decide.outputs.pools). A trusted-pool-specific regression could therefore pass. Assert these linked contracts together.
