ci: content-addressed machine images - #43608
Conversation
…mes an image by its hash The first tools of scripts/build/ci-images: distro packages, ulimits, the agent's user and directories, Node.js, Bun, curl-h3 and buildkite-agent, for Debian 13 x64 and Alpine 3.23. `node scripts/build/ci-images/generate.ts` writes build/ci-images/<key>/ and prints each image's name. Nothing in CI uses this yet. [skip ci]
…ndows Packer template The spec lists the six Linux and two Windows images with their exact base images, and every pin. Each tool is a typed function with a script file; tools that exist on both systems share one function and one pin. The generator writes bootstrap.sh or bootstrap.ps1, image.json, the files the scripts use, and for Windows the Packer template, and names the image by the hash of that directory. The generated scripts pass shellcheck, PowerShell's parser and `packer validate -syntax-only`; the Debian 13 and Alpine 3.23 x64 scripts run to completion in containers up to the prefetch. Nothing in CI uses this yet. [skip ci]
…xist The pipeline generates every image's bake directory, asks the cloud whether each image this build needs exists, and for the ones that do not, uploads the directory and emits a bake step (and a wait step where another build is already baking the name). A fork's build cannot bake and says so. The [build images] and [publish images] tags, the `# Version:` numbers and the `-build-<n>` names are gone. scripts/ci-image.ts answers "does this image exist" for AWS and Azure, waits for one by name, and bakes a Windows image from the generated Packer template with a pinned, checksummed Packer. It no longer deletes an image before baking its replacement. The build system's LLVM, Node.js, xwin, Windows SDK, macOS SDK, Android API and FreeBSD versions import from the spec, and a source lint keeps rust-toolchain.toml and the format workflow in step with it.
A fresh Windows image only has Windows PowerShell 5.1, which is what runs the bake; Invoke-WebRequest's -MaximumRetryCount is PowerShell 7's. Both Windows bakes stopped at their first download.
The last install step of a bake writes /etc/bun-image.json (C:\bun-image.json): everything the spec says about the image (image.json now lists every tool with the values it is given), the name it is baked under, and the exact version of every package the distro's or Scoop's repositories served that day, with a hash of that list. It is for keying caches of build outputs on the machine that made them, and is not part of the image's name, which is why the bake is told its name as an argument. The bake job publishes the file as build/ci-images/<key>/bun-image.json, so it can be read from the build's page; Packer downloads it from the Windows VM before Sysprep.

… bake image.ts is what spells an image's key: ci.ts finds a platform's image in the spec instead of building the same string again, and one function answers which image step a platform's jobs wait for (macOS machines have no image). The signing step's machine is named once, and its image counts among the images a signing build needs. scripts/packer/ and scripts/bootstrap.ps1 are removed: the generated Packer template and the Windows tools do their job.
The tool scripts no longer compare --version output with the pin or probe for files after an install: comparing a tool's version with the spec is the build's job. What a script still fails on is a download's checksum, an installer's exit code, and a lookup an install cannot go on without. The generator now also refuses a variable that a tool provides and its script never reads. On Windows, Scoop runs with non-terminating errors, because its manifests' cleanup steps write errors that are not failures (7zip on ARM64 cannot delete its own 7zr.exe), and whether the install worked is decided by the package being there afterwards. Temporary downloads are removed by one helper that does not fail on a file Defender still holds, and services are only set to disabled, since the image is rebooted before anything runs on it.
…e spec pins The build is what compares a tool's version with scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts (clang and lld already were, where they are found). A tool's list of URLs is gone: nothing reads it. Adds the CI machine images section of the build docs and a test that every image generates and that a name is the hash of the generated files.
Windows Server 2019 17763.9245.260906 and Windows 11 arm64 26100.9457.260913, so a Windows image's name covers the base it is baked from, as a Linux one's does.
The images installed 1.3.13 and the workflows 1.3.14. Both are 1.4.2 now, and a source lint keeps every workflow that installs a released Bun on the version the image spec pins.
What CI's machines have is described by scripts/build/ci-images now, so the comments that pointed at scripts/bootstrap.sh for it point there. macOS machines are standing hosts set up by hand: the generator outputs nothing for them, and the build docs say what is left to do for whoever sets up managed ones.
scripts/darwin-ci provisions them and runs scripts/bootstrap.sh, which keeps its own copy of the versions for macOS until macOS has a generated bootstrap.
The spec lists the macOS test machines, and macOS arms of the shared tools (Node.js, Bun, curl-h3, LLVM through Homebrew, Rust) install what every other CI machine gets. CI does not bake or name a macOS machine: scripts/darwin-ci generates the script on the host, where bun is, and runs it in the Tart guest image it builds or on a bare host. It runs as the machine's admin user, since Homebrew refuses root. scripts/bootstrap.sh is removed: nothing runs it any more. The generated macOS scripts pass shellcheck and every URL in them exists; they have not run on a Mac. `darwin-ci bake --ref <this branch>` on a Tart host is the test, and it leaves the host's image alone unless the toolchain check passes.

…rchitecture CI has one image per distro and architecture, so the release does not tell any two apart: linux-x64-debian, linux-aarch64-alpine, windows-x64. The release is still one of the image's facts, which the hash covers.
…ry image checked xwin's splat moves what it unpacked with rename(2), which cannot cross from the base image's tmpfs /tmp into /opt, so its cache goes next to the output. The test runner reads kernel.core_pattern back with sysctl as the agent's user, and Debian gives a user who is not root no sbin directory on PATH. A build makes sure every image of the spec exists, not only the ones the default steps start from: a manual build picks platforms, and the verify-baseline, signing and symbol-order steps choose their own machines. The build's LLVM major and minor come from the pin, like the version.
With several commands the agent runs the step in a shell, and cancelling the job ends that shell without ci-image.ts or Packer seeing the signal: Packer deletes nothing, and the VM it made holds its cores until someone removes it. bake-image downloads its bake directory and publishes bun-image.json itself.
…e testing Unset, it adds nothing to the hash. To be deleted before merging.

🟡
scripts/build/configure.ts— nit: A pin bump in scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts no longer makes an existing build directory reconfigure when ninja is run directly. configureInputs (configure.ts:154-164) lists scripts/build/.ts and deps/.ts as build.ninja's regen inputs, but NODEJS_VERSION, LLVM_VERSION, XWIN_VERSION, MACOS_SDK_VERSION, the Android API level and the FreeBSD version now read from ci-images/spec.ts, which is not in that list. Fix: add scripts/build/ci-images/*.ts (at least spec.ts) to configureInputs, so the files the configure output depends on all trigger the regen rule.Extended reasoning...
The regen edge (configure.ts:220-224) rebuilds build.ninja when any implicitInput is newer; scripts/build.ts itself always calls configure() (build.ts:119, 203), so
bun bdis unaffected. The stale case isninja -C build/debugrun directly, which the tool suggests (build.ts:235) and the rust-lint action does after --configure-only (.github/actions/rust-lint-setup/action.yml:76-77). Before the change, bumping the Node.js version edited deps/nodejs-headers.ts, bumping LLVM edited tools.ts, xwin edited winsysroot.ts, the macOS SDK edited macos-sdk.ts: all globbed. Now deps/nodejs-headers.ts:19, tools.ts:308, winsysroot.ts:36,44-45, macos-sdk.ts:43-45 and config.ts:543,551 read pins from spec.ts, and editing spec.ts alone leaves build.ninja with the old REPORTED_NODEJS_VERSION define (flags.ts:786, buildOptionsRs.ts:48) and the old headers URL until some other build script changes.Verification: nit. Trigger: a developer with an existing build dir pulls a commit that bumps a pin in scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts and runs
ninja -C build/debugdirectly instead ofbun bd/bun scripts/build.ts. Mechanism verified:configureInputs(scripts/build/configure.ts:154-164) collects onlyglobSync("*.ts", { cwd: scripts/build })(non-recursive) plusdeps/*.ts,scripts/glob-sources.ts…
One tool for Linux, Windows and macOS, pinned to release bun-ninja-5ecd8831 with the sha256 sums the release publishes. It goes in a directory of its own that is not on PATH (/opt/bun-ninja, C:\Program Files\bun-ninja), so the `ninja` the build runs is still the machine's own. The Linux binary is static, so Debian, Ubuntu and Alpine get the same one.
… only on a CI machine Starting sshd during the bake, to get its default configuration written, also made the host keys, so every machine from the image had the same ones; they are removed and sshd makes new ones on a machine's first start. The two settings are commented out in that configuration, so the replace now matches them and password logins are really off. The build compares bun, cmake and node with the spec when it runs on a Buildkite agent, not whenever a ci-* profile is built: `bun run build:ci` on a developer's machine asks for both flags. spec.ts is one of build.ninja's inputs, so a pin bump reconfigures an existing build directory. The pin lint covers the workflows' RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN, and the source-lints workflow runs when any workflow changes, since the lint reads them all.
…machine's Scoop adds an app's directories (node, clang and python have no shim) to the PATH of the user who installs it, and the agent's jobs run as another account. Images baked with Buildkite's own installer only had them because that installer saves the whole process PATH, the installing user's entries included, as the machine's; the pinned zip install does not.
scripts/build/ci-images/CLAUDE.md: how names come about, the commands, the common tasks (bump a version, add a tool, change an image, read what is on one), the rules a tool's script follows, what is not obvious about the Windows and Debian bakes, how to test a change before CI does, and how to read a failed bake. The build docs' section points there.
`locations` in spec.ts holds every place a bake chooses: /opt/rust, the sysroots, the NDK, the macOS SDK, the download cache, C:\Scoop, the Windows install directories. A tool is handed its location the way it is handed its pin and passes it to its script as a variable, and what looks for one of these imports it: the build's sysroot lookups, the download cache, the step that runs Intel SDE. The operating system's own places (/usr/local/bin) stay in the scripts. The Android NDK is unpacked beside where it goes.
The Windows images have never had Strawberry Perl: the old script skipped a Scoop package whose command was already on PATH, and Git puts its own perl there. Installed, it comes first and writes text files with CRLF, which test/regression/issue/31611.test.ts shows.
…r for the scripts scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts is now the whole thing: the data at the top (the files copied onto machines, pins, locations, images, packages, how Packer bakes Windows), the tools in the middle, and the machinery at the end. A tool no longer has a script file per system. It is a function of the image that returns steps saying what should be true of the machine (download, unpack, installExecutable, directory, systemUser, service, registryValue, scheduledTaskAtStartup, ...), and the machinery renders the steps as sh for Linux, as sh with sudo where a system path is written for macOS, and as PowerShell. One description serves every system a tool exists on. The generated script is what is read, linted and debugged: it is straight-line, with every value in it, and loops only over what is known on the machine. A tool's scratch directory is made and removed by the generator, on the disk, so nothing large lands on the Debian base image's tmpfs /tmp. Checked: shellcheck on the eight generated sh scripts, PowerShell's parser on both Windows scripts and the SSH key script, packer validate on both templates, the generated Debian 13 and Alpine 3.23 x64 scripts run to completion in containers up to the prefetch, and a simulated Buildkite run with every image missing.

bun-image.json is for keying caches of build outputs, so it has to be right for
every tool without anyone remembering to make it so. Tool now requires an
identity, and a tool without one does not compile:

observed(step) only known on the machine; the step is rendered after the
tool's own steps and what it prints is the record

Observed today: the glibc and musl cross sysroots, whose packages are whatever
the distro serves on the day of the bake, as a digest of their trees, and
Visual Studio's installed version. A tool that says it is observed and left
nothing fails the bake.
Also removes three vocabulary functions nothing used.
The macOS SDK hint named constants that are now imports of pins.macosSdk; the FreeBSD sysroot hint had its own URL where the pin has one; three comments named the bootstrap scripts this branch removed, and one a commit tag it removed.

An aarch64 build fell back to the x64 sysroot when its own was missing. The sysroot is arch-specific (crt objects, libc), so that could only end in a confusing link failure where the missing-sysroot error, with its hint, was the right answer. The lookup now has the shape of the glibc and musl ones: FREEBSD_SYSROOT, then the one path the spec gives for that architecture. The x64 lookup also lost /opt/freebsd-sysroot-amd64, a path nothing creates.
- DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive is exported once at the top of an apt image's script, so the installers that call apt themselves (LLVM's, Chrome's .deb) inherit it, as they did before the scripts were generated. - A file written from PowerShell is ASCII. Windows PowerShell 5.1's UTF8 writes a byte-order mark, and node-gyp parses its installVersion file as a number: with the mark it read 0 and threw away the headers the bake had put there. - vswhere is asked for every instance, since one whose installer asked for a restart is not yet a complete one.
… what a review found Values that were written twice are written once. In the spec's data: the hosts two tools download from, the Ubuntu release of the glibc sysroot, LLVM's major, the CPU's three spellings, where bun install's cache and bun-image.json go, the gallery version, and the bake directory's path, which .buildkite/ci.ts and scripts/ci-image.ts now import. The agent's user name comes from scripts/agent.ts, like its directories. What cannot import the spec is held to it by the source lint: scripts/darwin-ci's agent version and clang major, the Rust directory scripts/agent.ts puts on a Mac's PATH, and the Node-API tests' headers version. Tools: downloading an archive and unpacking it into a directory is one composite (unpackedArchive), used at every site, and executableFromArchive is built on it, so curl-h3 is one description for every system. A tool is one literal. Three tool names now are their function's (agent-account, windows-system, prefetch-windows), which is what a failed bake's log shows. Machinery: on a Mac that is set up again, unzip asked whether to replace /opt/bun-ninja/ninja and failed; it now replaces. A PowerShell literal in an expression (an array element, an assignment, a -replace operand) is always a quoted string: bare, a word is a command and 1.10 is a number. A tool's observation is rendered before its scratch directory is decided on. The vocabulary is no longer exported, since nothing outside the file uses it. .buildkite/ci.ts: the agent functions no longer take the options they never read, and getImageSteps takes the image and name its caller already has. The Windows bake is told how long to wait for another build's bake of its name instead of having its own number. The generator's test moves to test/internal/source-lints, where tests of the scripts belong. Comments and docs that named the removed bootstrap scripts, per-tool files and helper libraries now name what exists.
… each Asking whether an image exists takes the cloud's credentials, and the pipeline asked on every build, a fork's included, in the job that runs the branch's own ci.ts. A fork cannot bake, so there is nothing it could do with the answer: it now asks nothing and reads none of those secrets. If its diff touches what a bake runs (bakeInputs: spec.ts and the files it copies onto machines) it fails with the explanation it got before; otherwise its images are ones this repository's builds have already baked. Smart App Control is turned off by the bake. The test runner had its own copy for images baked before the bake did it; on machines from the images this branch bakes it found the policy already off, so it is removed. The step dependents wait on is <key>-image: it has passed once the image exists, whether this build baked it or waited for another's bake.

.buildkite/ci.ts— After a failed Linux build-image bake, the build can no longer finish as failed: binary-size still starts and asks for the image that was never made. getBinarySizeStep sets allow_dependency_failure at .buildkite/ci.ts:1176, so when the bake fails and every -build-bun is broken it runs anyway, on getEc2Agent(buildHostPlatform) whose image-name is the unbaked hash (ci.ts:1174), and getPipeline gives it no image dependency (ci.ts:1945). Fix: a step allowed to run after its dependencies fail must not request an image this build is baking; whenbakinghas the host's key, drop allow_dependency_failure for binary-size (it is then skipped like release) or run it on a hosted queue.Extended reasoning...
Condition: a Linux bake of the build image fails (the spec now makes every installer failure fatal, so a transient download error in a 1-3 h bake does it), and the provisioner does not fail a job whose image-name does not exist (the resolved review comment at ci.ts:1702 established that such a job waits for an agent that never starts). On the base only [build images] PR runs baked, so this needed a tagged run; now every build after a change to spec.ts, scripts/agent.ts or xmac.mjs bakes, main's post-merge build included, and the same steps depend on the result. getPipeline builds
baking(ci.ts:1748-1765) and hands${key}-build-imageto build-bun (ci.ts:1837), verify-baseline (1854), trace-order, test shards (1926) and windows-sign (1952). getBinarySizeStep (ci.ts:1161-1185) is pushed at ci.ts:1945 with only depends_on -build-bun and allow_dependency_failure: true. When linux-aarch64-debian-bake-image fails, the wait step keyed linux-aarch64-debian-build-image is broken, every build-bun is broken, release (no allow_dependency_failure) is skipped, but binary-size is…Verification: normal — triggered when a build that bakes the build-host image (any build whose
linux-aarch64-debianhash is new: the PR push that changes spec.ts/agent.ts/xmac.mjs, main after such a merge, a merge-queue build combining two spec changes) has that Linux bake step fail, and the provisioner leaves a job whoseimage-namedoes not exist waiting rather than failing it (the behavior the resolved…

…node_modules behind binary-size may run after a build-bun step fails, so that the targets that built are still measured. It runs on the build image, and when this build is the one baking that image, a failed bake left it waiting for a machine that could not start. In such a build it now depends on the image and does not run past a failure. The install-cache prefetch runs bun install in the bake job's checkout, as root, and what it put in node_modules stayed on the disk that becomes the image. The installs are for the cache; the node_modules are removed.
…s build links against What the prefetch tools download is decided by the commit being built, so a dependency bump does not rename an image and the caches miss more over time. prefetchTriggerVersion is the way to refresh them: the number is written into each prefetch tool's section of the generated scripts, so raising it renames every baked image and the next build bakes them all. It means nothing else. It replaces `epoch`, the temporary value that was in the hash to force a bake while this was being tested. The Visual Studio tool records the MSVC toolset and Windows SDK versions the installer chose instead of the product's version: their import libraries and CRT objects are what a build on a Windows machine links against.
The generated scripts started with helper functions kept as sh and PowerShell text in strings, which is what the generator exists to replace. They are gone: a step renders the lines themselves, so every line that runs is where it runs. A download is a curl line on every system (curl.exe on Windows, by that name, because Windows PowerShell 5.1 calls Invoke-WebRequest `curl`). Putting a directory on PATH or setting a variable is the lines that do it. A Scoop install is its own lines, with why it runs the way it does said once in the generator. In PowerShell, where a native program's failure is only its exit code, every statement that ran one is followed by a check of $LASTEXITCODE. A Linux bake was handed the bake job's checkout and a Windows bake the commit, which it cloned. Both are handed the commit now, and one `prefetch` tool serves both: it clones the commit, fills the build's download cache, pulls the test Docker images on Linux, fills bun install's cache, and removes the clone. Nothing of the repository is left on the disk that becomes the image, which also replaces the removal of node_modules from the job's checkout.
…ot of what it reads back generateImage has every byte of a bake directory in memory before it writes it: what it rendered, and the two files it copies. It hashes those and then writes them, instead of writing, listing the directory and reading it back. The algorithm and so every name are unchanged. The test checks that the directory on disk hashes to the name, since that directory is what CI uploads and a bake downloads.
…I machines oven-sh/bun#43608 removed scripts/bootstrap.sh. The base stage ran it, so every daily build fails with 'scripts/bootstrap.sh: not found'. install-toolchain.sh generates the bake script for Debian 13 with scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts, leaves out the cross-compile tools of CI's build machine, cuts the script before its prefetch section and runs it. Root gets a copy of the node-gyp header cache, as bootstrap.sh gave it.

What
CI machine images are content-addressed. An image's name is
<key>-<hash>: the key is the operating system or distro and the architecture (linux-x64-debian,windows-aarch64), and the hash covers everything its bake runs, the release and the base image included. A CI build asks whether each image exists and bakes the ones that do not before anything else runs; every later build (the PR's next push,mainafter the merge) finds them by name. The[build images]/[publish images]commit tags, the# Version:numbers and the-build-<n>names are gone: to change what is on a CI machine, edit one file.One file

The generated script is what is read, linted and debugged: straight-line, with every value in it, looping only over what is known on the machine. The output depends only on committed files.

A fork's build cannot bake (a bake runs the branch's code on a machine that becomes everyone's image), so it does not ask the cloud anything and reads none of the cloud's credentials: it uses the images that exist, and fails with an explanation if its diff touches a bake input. A Linux bake runsbootstrap.sh <commit> <image name>as root on a machine started from the exact base image the spec names; a Windows bake runs Packer, pinned and checksummed, as the step's single command so that a cancel reaches it.The build system's LLVM, Node.js, xwin, Windows SDK, macOS SDK, Android API level and FreeBSD versions import from
