ci-images: the image's record is lines the bake script writes; the pipeline is uploaded as JSON - #43639
Conversation
The record of what arrived on the day of a bake was JSON, assembled by a
JavaScript program kept as text in spec.ts and run under the image's Node.js.
JSON was what needed a program: neither shell can write it safely without one.
The only thing that reads the record hashes its bytes, so it is now lines,
bun-image.txt, written by ordinary steps in the generated script:
name: <the image's name>
image: <the spec's facts, as one line of JSON>
tool <name>: <how what it puts on the machine is known, and the value if pinned>
observed <name>: <a line an observed tool's step printed>
package <a line of the package manager's database, sorted>
The generator knows the facts and every tool's identity, so those lines are
literal in the script; the observed values and the package list are read on the
machine. A tool that says it is observed and left nothing still fails the bake.
dpkg's packages are listed as ${binary:Package}: on the arm64 build image,
which also has amd64 packages, libc6 and libc6:amd64 used to be the same line
twice. The separate sha256 of the package list is gone, since the file is what
gets hashed.
toYaml() quoted a string only when it held certain punctuation, so a string of digits was written bare and YAML read it as a number. Canonical's AWS account id, "099720109477", reached the machine provisioner as the agent tag base-image-owner=99720109477, AWS answered InvalidUserID.Malformed, and both Ubuntu bakes were cancelled with "Failed to create agent". Debian's and Alpine's ids have no leading zero, which is why only Ubuntu failed. A release such as "3.20" would have become 3.2 the same way. A string that YAML would read as a number, a boolean or null is now quoted. toYaml moves to scripts/buildkite.ts, where a test can import it: the test writes such strings and reads them back with a YAML parser.

…ackage query is checked toYaml() guessed which strings YAML would misread. The list of those is longer than any pattern of it: dates, 0777, 0b101, 1:30 and y are in it too. A string is now always written as JSON, which YAML reads as the same string, and list items go through the same rule as mapping values. The whole generated pipeline parses to the same tree as before. The image record listed packages with `query | sort | sed >> record`. sh has no pipefail, so a query that failed left a record with no packages and a bake that passed. The query is now a statement of its own, into a scratch file, and the rest reads the file.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked that every consumer of the record's path and name derives from locations.imageRecord/imageRecordName (.buildkite/ci.ts cp step, the Packer file provisioner, the artifact upload in scripts/ci-image.ts) and that no reference to the old JSON file or record-image.mjs remains anywhere in the repo. The observed/<tool> path renderTool writes matches the one recordImage reads, and the empty-observation check fails closed in both shells (an empty or missing file exits 1 in sh and throws under $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" in PowerShell); the nested render inside the record-image step leaves c.native reset for the following tools.
Extended reasoning...
Findings were reported inline, so this body only records what else was examined. I traced the record path/name through all three consumers (ci.ts:1053, spec.ts:2608-2609, ci-image.ts:292) — all derive from the constants changed in spec.ts, so the rename cannot leave a stale reader; a repo-wide grep for bun-image.json, record-image.mjs, and recordImageProgram found nothing. I verified bakeFile("observed/<name>") is the same value on both the write side (spec.ts:2441) and the read side (spec.ts:1263), that failUnlessNotEmpty(output(linesOf(...))) renders to [ -n "$(cat ...)" ] || { ...; exit 1; } in sh and if (-not (Get-Content ...)) { throw ... } in PowerShell, both of which fail on empty or missing observations, and that the render recursion in recordImage resets c.native after every sub-step so the $LASTEXITCODE check accounting for later tools is unaffected. The Sort-Object culture ordering and the possibility of external readers of the JSON file were already ruled out by the earlier list. I could not run the new tests in this environment, so I am not vouching for them here.

scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts— nit: thetoolsarray written into image.json at spec.ts:2707 is dead after this change. Its only reader was record-image.mjs, which the diff removes; scripts/ci-image.ts:197 and ci-images.test.ts:30 read image.json but never itstools. Thedescribedmapping at spec.ts:2697-2705 also duplicates the identity-to-text logic ofrecordedat spec.ts:1249-1253. Fix: droptools: describedfrom image.json and thedescribedmapping, or makerecordedthe one place that renders an identity and reuse it.Extended reasoning...
Before the diff, record-image.mjs read image.json (
JSON.parse(readFileSync(join(import.meta.dirname, "image.json")))) and walkedimage.toolsto build the record. The diff deletes that program and builds the tool lines directly in recordImage (spec.ts:1249-1253) fromtools(image). bakeFiles still computesdescribed(spec.ts:2697-2705) and writes it astoolsinto image.json (spec.ts:2707). A repo-wide grep for.toolsanddescribedshows no remaining reader of that field: scripts/ci-image.ts:197 casts image.json to WindowsImage for its facts, and test/internal/source-lints/ci-images.test.ts:30-31 only checksdescribed.base. The field still feeds the image name hash, so removing it renames the images, but this PR already renames all eight. Maintainers keep a second encoding of Identity that nothing consumes.Verification: nit. Triggering condition: every generation of a bake directory (
bun run ci:images/ CI) — thetoolsfield is always written and never read after this diff. Mechanism verified. At the base commit the only reader of image.json'stoolswas the removed program:git show fc297d4…:scripts/build/ci-images/spec.tsline 2443const tools = image.tools.map(tool => {insiderecordImageProgram,…
… lines Scoop is a PowerShell script, so on Windows there is no exit code to tell a failed package query from a good one. On every path the record is now refused when the query listed nothing. The generator test gains the exact lines of the record section for a Linux and a Windows image, so a change to how a step renders (appending, prefixing, a list of lines in PowerShell) shows up there and not an hour into a bake.
…hat a tool's record line is
On Windows the record listed Scoop's apps with
`(scoop export | ...).apps | ForEach-Object { ... }`. When scoop export failed
it printed nothing, `.apps` was $null, and ForEach-Object still ran once for
$null: the file held one blank line, the emptiness check passed, and the bake
published a record with no packages. scoop now runs through `run`, so its exit
code is checked after the statement, and the apps come out of the pipeline with
Select-Object -ExpandProperty, which passes nothing on when there is nothing.
image.json no longer lists the tools: the only reader of that list was the
record program, which is gone. `recordedTool` is the one place that turns a
tool's identity into its line of the record, and the test asserts a literal
line for each kind of identity, the exact record section for Debian and for
Windows, and the Alpine package query.
In the step vocabulary, appendLines is writeFile with `append`, `prefixed`
quotes its prefix the way every other value is quoted, and printLine prints a
line in both shells. The record's paths are made from its file name.

@dylan-conway, your commit 8f1a77c is building: |
`buildkite-agent pipeline upload` parses every file it is given with a YAML parser, whatever its name, and JSON is YAML. So the pipeline is written with JSON.stringify, to .buildkite/ci.json, and toYaml() and its test are deleted. That removes the code that lost a string's type: written by hand, a string of digits such as the AWS account id "099720109477" came out bare and was read as the number 99720109477, which cancelled both Ubuntu image bakes. In JSON every string is quoted. Read by a YAML parser, the generated pipeline is the same tree as before, except that an empty depends_on is now an empty list where it used to be written as nothing and read as null.

I re-reviewed the latest commits and didn't find any bugs; what my earlier inline comments raised is addressed by the scratch-file package query with its $LASTEXITCODE check, the new record-section tests, and replacing the serializer with JSON.stringify. Because this rebakes all eight images and changes the pipeline upload format, and neither can be exercised outside a real bake, a human look would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- The record section in both shells:
c.nativeset byrun("scoop", "export")survives thepipe/cmdlet/toFilechain so the exit code check is rendered; the empty-observation and empty-package-list checks exit nonzero in sh and throw in PowerShell;prefixedescapes\,/and&for sed. tools(image)inside thestepsgetter: nothing intools()orrecordedTooltouches.steps, so no recursion.- The JSON pipeline:
JSON.stringifyand the oldtoYamlagree on null, arrays, numbers and booleans; the only values that change are strings YAML typed (base-image-owner, the block step's"true"/"false"option values), andbuildkite-agent pipeline uploadaccepts JSON. - Remaining readers of
image.json(scripts/ci-image.ts:197, the existing generation test) only read fields still written.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR touches CI infrastructure only: scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts (the image bake generator), its CLAUDE.md, .buildkite/ci.ts (the pipeline generator), scripts/ci-image.ts (a comment), .gitignore, and test/internal/source-lints/ci-images.test.ts. The bake's record of an image becomes a line-oriented bun-image.txt written by ordinary rendered steps (printLine, appendLines, toFile with append, prefixed, sorted, failUnlessNotEmpty) instead of a record-image.mjs program run under the image's Node.js; recordedTool is the single place that renders a tool's identity line. The pipeline generator drops its hand-written toYaml and uploads .buildkite/ci.json via JSON.stringify, which fixes the misreading of digit-only strings such as Canonical's account id as numbers. Every reader of the deleted pieces was checked: record-image.mjs had no other caller, image.json's tools array had only that reader, and scripts/ci-image.ts:197 plus the existing test read fields image.json still contains.
Security risks
None specific to this change. The generated scripts run as root on bake machines, but the new lines only read the package database, the tool-observed files in the bake directory, and write to /etc/bun-image.txt or C:\bun-image.txt; all literal values pass through renderValue, which single-quotes anything outside the safe character class in sh and PowerShell, and the heredocs use <<'EOF' so nothing expands. The image: JSON line and tool lines are spec-controlled, not user input. The pipeline JSON carries the same values as before, with strings now correctly typed.
Level of scrutiny
Moderate-to-high, because the code cannot be run locally: whether a bake succeeds is only shown by a bake, and the change renames all eight images. I traced the rendering paths statically: the render loop adds the $LASTEXITCODE check whenever c.native is set and neither cmdlet nor toFile clears it, so the scoop pipeline gets its check (the test's expected lines confirm this); failUnlessNotEmpty on output(linesOf(file)) fails on a missing or empty file in both shells; the tool order keeps every observed tool (glibc-sysroot, musl-sysroot, visual-studio) before record-image; the scratch directory is created and removed around the tool because renderValue flags usesScratch. For the pipeline, I compared the semantics of JSON.stringify with the deleted serializer and grepped .buildkite/ci.ts for string values that YAML would have typed; only the AWS account id and the block-step "true"/"false" option values change, both for the better. The bake step's "bake": true agent tag is a real boolean in both serializers.
Other factors
All three points from my prior review are addressed in the latest commits and by real code, not thread resolution alone: the package query is a statement of its own into a scratch file with an emptiness check, Windows checks scoop's exit code, the record section has exact-line tests for Debian, Alpine and Windows, and the YAML quoting question is moot since the serializer is gone. The bug hunt ran dry with no findings. I could not execute the tests or generate the pipeline in this environment (Bash was denied for those commands), so the review is from reading; that, together with the operational blast radius of rebaking every image and switching the upload format, is why I defer rather than approve.
The record tool held the one PowerShell script block in the tools half of spec.ts. `scoopApps` sits next to `scoopInstall` in the machinery, and the tool says only that the apps go to the package list. The generated scripts do not change.
The comment on `sorted` said the order does not depend on the machine's locale. That is true of sh (LC_ALL=C sort). PowerShell's Sort-Object follows the session's culture, which is the same for every bake of an image because it comes from the pinned base image.

LGTM — the points raised on earlier pushes (unchecked package query, unchecked scoop exit code, missing record test, Sort-Object order) are all addressed in the current code, and the CI-only scope keeps any remaining risk to a loud bake failure.

Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR touches only CI infrastructure: scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts (the bake-script generator), .buildkite/ci.ts (the pipeline generator), the source-lint test for the images, .gitignore, and the ci-images CLAUDE.md. The image record moves from a JSON file produced by a Node program run on the machine to a line-oriented bun-image.txt written by ordinary rendered steps in sh and PowerShell; the recordImage tool now enumerates tools(image) lazily via a get steps() getter to avoid recursion. The pipeline is now written as JSON (.buildkite/ci.json) and the hand-rolled toYaml() serializer is deleted, fixing the bare-digit-string-becomes-number bug that broke the Ubuntu bakes' agent tags.
Security risks
None that reach the product. The generated scripts run as root on bake machines, but every string that lands in them is spec data (tool names, pinned versions, the image's own JSON), rendered through the existing renderValue quoting (single quotes with '' doubling in PowerShell, '\'' in sh, quoted heredoc for the tool lines). No user-controlled input enters the record, and the record is only hashed, never parsed. The JSON pipeline is uploaded by buildkite-agent pipeline upload which parses it as YAML; JSON escaping is strictly safer than the old allow-list quoting.
Level of scrutiny
Moderate. I traced each rendered line in the new record section against the exact-line expectations in test/internal/source-lints/ci-images.test.ts for Debian, Alpine and Windows and they match the renderers (toFile append, printLine, linesOf, prefixed, sorted, writeFile append via Add-Content, the $LASTEXITCODE check that render appends because run("scoop", ...) sets c.native inside the pipe). Failure paths fail closed on all three platforms: the package query is its own statement (set -e in sh, exit-code check in PowerShell), and an empty observation or package list exits 1 / throws before the record is appended. The concerns I raised on earlier versions (unchecked pipeline, unchecked scoop, no record test, culture-dependent Sort-Object) are all addressed in the current diff and commits 05fab824, 086e77e6, 98dcf8c5. I could not execute the test file in this environment (shell execution was denied), so the verification is by reading.
Other factors
The consequences of any residual bug are confined to a bake or pipeline-upload failure that is immediately visible in CI, not to shipped code. scripts/ci-image.ts reads image.json only as the WindowsImage shape, so dropping the described tools array from it is safe; the Packer file provisioner and artifact upload both derive the record's name from imageRecordName, and no .buildkite/ci.yml reference remains anywhere. CODEOWNERS covers only *.d.ts, packages/bun-types/, test/expectations.txt and itself, none of which are touched. All eight image names change as a consequence of the bake-directory hash, which the description states and which is inherent to the design. The one third-party inline thread on the latest version (coderabbit at spec.ts:1248) was resolved by a non-author after a reply from the author.
The build image's record holds a digest of the musl sysroots, and the record is a cache key: two bakes of the same content have to write the same bytes. apk writes var/log/apk.log, with the time of the install in it, into the root it installs into, so no two bakes observed the same digest. Of the 6,140 files in the two sysroots those two logs were the only ones that differed between runs. They are removed after the install; two runs of the generated section now observe the same digest. Only the build image is renamed.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I reviewed the latest push and didn't find any bugs; the points raised on earlier versions (a failed package query leaving a record without packages, no test of the record's lines, the PowerShell sort order) are addressed in the code as it stands now. Since this rebakes all eight CI images and changes how the pipeline is uploaded, a human look before merge would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:

Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR replaces the Node-generated bun-image.json with a line-oriented bun-image.txt written by ordinary steps of the generated bake script (scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts), deletes record-image.mjs and the tools array in image.json, lists dpkg packages as ${binary:Package}, removes the musl sysroot's apk.log before it is observed, and switches .buildkite/ci.ts from a hand-written YAML serializer to JSON.stringify into .buildkite/ci.json. test/internal/source-lints/ci-images.test.ts gains tests asserting the exact rendered record section for a Debian image, an Alpine image's package query, a Windows image, the apk.log removal ordering, and recordedTool for each identity kind. Docs in scripts/build/ci-images/CLAUDE.md and the header of scripts/ci-image.ts are updated to match.
Security risks
None of this is runtime code; it is CI image provisioning and pipeline generation. The generated shell text is built from constants in spec.ts, not user input. I checked the sed prefix escaping ([\\/&]), the PowerShell string escaping in renderValue for the text value with an expression("$_") part, and the single-quoted dpkg-query format string; all render as the tests assert. The JSON pipeline is strictly better than the previous serializer for type fidelity of strings such as AWS account ids.
Level of scrutiny
Moderate. The change is self-contained and the author reports running the record section in real Debian/Alpine containers and against a stand-in scoop, plus this PR's own Buildkite build uploading ci.json. The parts I could not verify by execution here (the $LASTEXITCODE check after a scoop export pipeline where scoop is itself a PowerShell script, and Sort-Object ordering being stable across bakes of a pinned base) are reasoned about in the code's comments and match the previously-existing patterns in scoopInstall and render. Because the outcome is a rebake of every CI image and a new pipeline upload format, a maintainer look is warranted, even though no defect was found.
Other factors
All prior inline findings from earlier runs are addressed in the code (scratch-file query + failUnlessNotEmpty on every path; run("scoop", "export") so render appends the exit-code check; the exact-lines tests; the sorted comment now states what each shell's order depends on). CodeRabbit's threads were resolved by a non-author. There is no CHANGES_REQUESTED review outstanding. The bug hunt exited on dry streak. I was unable to execute the test file in this environment, so the assertion that the new tests pass rests on static reading of the renderers against the expected lines, which do line up.

What
Two changes to CI's machine images and the pipeline that bakes them.
The image's record is lines the bake script writes
The record a bake writes about the machine (what arrived on the day of the bake, for keying caches of build outputs) becomes
bun-image.txt, in place ofbun-image.json.It was JSON, assembled by a JavaScript program kept as text in
scripts/build/ci-images/spec.tsand run under the image's Node.js. JSON is what needed a program: neithershnor Windows PowerShell 5.1 can write it safely without one. The only reader hashes the file's bytes, so the layout is free, and lines can be written by ordinary steps in either shell:image:andtoollines are literal in the script. Theobservedlines and thepackagelines are read on the machine.shhas no pipefail and a query piped straight intosortcould fail unnoticed; on Windowsscoop exportruns throughrun, so its exit code is checked. On every path a query that listed nothing, or an observed tool that left nothing, fails the bake.recordImageis a tool made of steps like every other tool;record-image.mjsis no longer written into the bake directories, andimage.jsonno longer carries the list of tools that only that program read.recordedToolis the one place that turns a tool's identity into its line.${binary:Package}. On the arm64 build image, which also has amd64 packages,libc6andlibc6:amd64used to be the same line twice.The pipeline is uploaded as JSON
.buildkite/ci.tswrote its pipeline with a hand-written YAML serializer,toYaml(), which quoted a string only when it held certain punctuation. A string of digits was written bare and YAML read it as a number: Canonical's AWS account id,"099720109477", became the agent tagbase-image-owner=99720109477, and both Ubuntu bakes were cancelled with "Failed to create agent". A release such as"3.20"would have become3.2the same way.buildkite-agent pipeline uploadparses every file it is given with a YAML parser, whatever its name, and JSON is YAML. So the pipeline is nowJSON.stringify(pipeline), written to.buildkite/ci.json, andtoYaml()is deleted. In JSON every string is quoted, so a string cannot lose its type. Read by a YAML parser, the generated pipeline is the same tree as before, except for the values that were being misread and an emptydepends_on, which is now an empty list where it used to be written as nothing and read as null.What it does to the images
All eight baked images get new names, so this PR's build bakes them all. Every Linux bake script is otherwise unchanged; the Windows scripts differ in the record section only.
