What does this PR do?

Lands #37771 (Jarred's follow-ups to the review of scripts/darwin-ci) on current main. His commit is first and unchanged, re-signed. My commits come after it.

  • Jarred's commit: the scripts use Bun.spawn with argv arrays instead of Bun.$, plus the bake, hook and CI-user fixes listed in its message.
  • Merge of main: main moved the CI scripts to TypeScript, generates the toolchain script from scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts, added the beta release tier and the tap trust in brewInstall. The conflicts keep main's behavior in the new style. lib/release-tier.mjs is dropped: it existed so agent.mjs could share it, and scripts/agent.ts now imports only Node.
  • Image lock: a flock(2) held by /usr/bin/lockf, released by the kernel when its holder exits. A killed job cannot leave a stale lock.
  • Missing executables: spawn/runInherit return exit 127 instead of throwing, so provisioning a fresh host works.
  • Cleanup: pre-exit never fails a job; a guest that will not delete is logged.
  • Reports: collectReports is removed. The runner uploads its reports from inside the guest, and nothing on the host read the copy (main's Bun.$ form of it failed on every job, hidden by .nothrow()).
  • Smaller: private sudoWrite, a clear error if launchd will not unload the agent, the old image deleted under the lock, typecheck fixes, bun 1.4.2 pinned in host.sh.

Running hosts keep their installed copy in /usr/local/share/darwin-ci until they are provisioned again.

How did you verify your code works?

Ran the changed functions on a Mac with bun 1.4:

  • Missing executable: spawn gives exit 127, probe gives undefined, run throws with exit 127.
  • Image lock: three holders in one process never overlap; a holder in another process blocks the lock, and after it is killed with kill -9 the next waiter gets the lock in 67 ms.
  • sudoWrite's write step creates a new file with mode 600.
  • job.env values with quotes, a newline, $, backticks and an empty string round-trip through source in bash.
  • host.sh's own fetch checks the bun 1.4.2 zips against the pinned checksums.
  • tsc over scripts/darwin-ci with scripts/tsconfig.json shows no new errors.

Not run: a full provision of a host, or a CI job on a host with these scripts.

Supersedes #37771.

Jarred-Sumner and others added 5 commits September 21, 2026 13:54
Follow-ups from the review of #37633, which added scripts/darwin-ci.

The scripts now use Bun.spawn with argv arrays instead of Bun.$: a host
runs them on whatever bun host.sh installed when it was provisioned, and
Bun.$'s quoting differs between releases ($.escape does not produce
bash-safe strings, so job.env broke on any commit message containing a
quote; literal `*` words were glob-expanded, so collectReports never ran).

- shell.ts: `run`/`output` throw on failure, `probe` is for commands whose
  failure is an answer; `shellQuote` for strings handed to a remote shell
- tart.ts: the clone lock is a symlink holding the owner's pid, broken only
  when that pid is dead; stop/destroy tolerate exactly "not running" /
  "does not exist" and propagate everything else
- bake.ts: validates the ref up front, quotes every argument passed into the
  guest, and swaps the image in under the clone lock keeping the previous
  image until the rename succeeds
- release-tier.mjs: one copy of the release-tier thresholds shared with
  scripts/agent.mjs, so bare and tart hosts cannot disagree
- job.sh: run BUILDKITE_COMMAND through `bash -e -o pipefail` (sharding
  already comes from the forwarded env), stop hiding warm-up install output
- command hook: host steps also run under `bash -e -o pipefail`; job.env is
  0600 and always removed; a cleanup failure no longer masks the test status
- pre-exit: an orphan that fails to delete is logged and the rest still reaped
- ci-user: createhomedir/dseditgroup only when needed and no longer nothrow;
  ciUserId rejects uid 0
- host.sh: brew installer and bun pinned by commit/version and sha256
- host.ts: profiles touched by explicit path, agent download cleaned up in
  finally; agent.ts nightly reap uses `sudo -H` like its siblings
- main.ts: --release/--spawn must be positive integers

No-Verification-Needed: CI provisioning scripts, no bun runtime surface
Main moved on under this branch: the CI scripts are TypeScript
(scripts/agent.mjs is now scripts/agent.ts), the toolchain comes from a
script generated by scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts instead of
scripts/bootstrap.sh, there is a "beta" release tier, and brewInstall
trusts a formula's tap. The conflicts keep main's behavior, written with
this branch's Bun.spawn helpers:

- scripts/agent.mjs: deleted, as on main.
- lib/release-tier.mjs: deleted. It existed so agent.mjs and darwin-ci
  shared one copy. scripts/agent.ts now imports only Node, because it is
  copied alone onto each machine, and the copy of darwin-ci installed on a
  host cannot import it either. lib/agent.ts uses config.releaseTier
  again, which has the beta tier.
- lib/host.ts: generateBootstrap and bootstrapToolchain(ref) from main,
  on bootstrapCheckout; brewInstall keeps the tap trust. The shell
  profile touch is gone: the generated script creates the profiles.
- lib/bake.ts: pushes the generated script and passes the two remaining
  bake.sh arguments through shellQuote.
The scripts tsconfig on main sets exactOptionalPropertyTypes, and the spawn helpers passed cwd and env as possibly-undefined keys. They now spread only the options that were given. kcpassword indexes the key with a modulo, so the element always exists.
collectReports now throws when rsync fails (it used to fail silently every time, because Bun.$ glob-expanded --include=*/). Thrown from runInGuest, that dropped the tests' exit status and the step failed. The hook now shows the copy error and returns the tests' status.
The pin was 1.3.14, from when the branch was written. Hosts provisioned since then got the latest release (1.4.2 on the last Studio), and the provisioner now runs scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts from main on this bun. Checksums are from the release's SHASUMS256.txt and match the downloaded zips.

Walkthrough

The Darwin CI scripts replace Bun shell templates with argv-based helpers. They pin and verify host tools, validate provisioning inputs, improve Tart image promotion and cleanup, and add shell quoting and temporary-file protections.

Changes

Darwin CI execution and provisioning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Argv-based shell execution
scripts/darwin-ci/lib/shell.ts
Added shared argv-based process helpers, output capture, probing, inherited-stdio execution, polling, and privileged file operations.
Host and agent provisioning
scripts/darwin-ci/host.sh, scripts/darwin-ci/lib/host.ts, scripts/darwin-ci/lib/ci-user.ts, scripts/darwin-ci/lib/agent.ts, scripts/darwin-ci/main.ts
Pinned and checksum-verified tool downloads. Host, user, agent, bootstrap, and provisioning commands now use shared shell helpers with validated options.
Guest execution and image lifecycle
scripts/darwin-ci/lib/guest.ts, scripts/darwin-ci/lib/tart.ts, scripts/darwin-ci/lib/bake.ts, scripts/darwin-ci/README.md
Guest operations use argv commands. Tart image locking, VM deletion retries, ref validation, and locked image promotion were added. Documentation describes the updated bake and runtime behavior.
CI job and cleanup handling
scripts/darwin-ci/guest/job.sh, scripts/darwin-ci/hooks/command.ts, scripts/darwin-ci/hooks/pre-exit.ts
Job and hook commands now apply explicit failure handling, shell quoting, temporary-file cleanup, and continued cleanup after individual failures.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6bcb4

Agent installation can expose its token through process arguments, while concurrent image work can fail a bake and successful bakes may wait unnecessarily. Resolve these concerns before merging.

Inline comments:
In `@scripts/darwin-ci/lib/agent.ts`:
- Line 134: Handle an expired unload poll before proceeding to bootstrap: update
the launchd unload flow around poll so a timeout triggers fail with a message
identifying target, while preserving the existing success condition when the
service is no longer loaded.
- Line 121: Update the command construction around the sudo/env invocation to
remove the BUILDKITE_AGENT_TOKEN value from argv. Pass the token through a
protected configuration or environment handoff instead, while preserving the
existing agent installation command and PATH setup.

In `@scripts/darwin-ci/lib/bake.ts`:
- Line 71: Move the final tart.destroy(previous) call into the withImageLock
callback in the image promotion flow, after the staging image is renamed to
image and recovery handling completes. Remove the existing call after the lock
is released, preserving the rollback restoration behavior in the callback.

In `@scripts/darwin-ci/lib/shell.ts`:
- Around line 90-92: Update the file-writing flow around run so sensitive
content is never created with default permissions: replace the sudo tee, chown,
and chmod sequence with one privileged install operation that writes the content
using the requested owner and mode, or atomically installs a restricted
temporary file with those final attributes.

In `@scripts/darwin-ci/lib/tart.ts`:
- Around line 75-78: Make stale-lock reclamation in the lock acquisition flow
identity-safe by revalidating that the symlink still refers to the same owner
instance immediately before removal, or by using an atomic stale-lock takeover
primitive. Update the logic around lockOwner(), processAlive(), and rmSync() so
a waiter cannot delete a newly acquired lock after another waiter has reclaimed
it.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the new shellQuote used for job.env and the job API token — it is standard POSIX single-quote escaping, so values with quotes, newlines, $ and backticks survive source in the guest — and the probe-based sudoRead/consoleUser rewrites, which preserve the base's empty-means-undefined behavior.

Extended reasoning...

The diff is confined to the macOS CI provisioning scripts under scripts/darwin-ci (no runtime code, no tests) and replaces Bun.$ with argv-array Bun.spawn helpers, changing failure semantics at many sites; the bug hunt was cut off at its finding cap with several confirmed issues posted inline, so a human review is needed regardless.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

- shell: Bun.spawn throws ENOENT for a missing executable. spawn and
  runInherit now return exit 127 for it, as a shell does, so probing a
  tool that is not installed yet (buildkite-agent on a fresh host) no
  longer aborts provisioning.
- tart: the image lock is a flock(2) held by lockf(1) for the life of a
  child that reads our pipe. The kernel drops it when that child exits,
  so a killed job leaves no stale lock, and there is no pid to reuse
  after a reboot. This replaces the pid symlink, whose stale-lock
  takeover let two waiters both hold the lock.
- pre-exit: a guest that will not delete is logged and left for the next
  job; the hook no longer exits non-zero, which failed a passing job and
  every later job on the host.
- Remove collectReports. The runner uploads its reports from inside the
  guest through the forwarded job API socket, and nothing on the host
  reads a copy; the rsync walked both node_modules trees for nothing.
- sudoWrite creates the file under umask 077, so a token is never
  readable by others before the chmod.
- agent: fail with a message if launchd has not unloaded the old agent
  after 60s, instead of letting bootstrap fail with EIO.
- bake: delete the previous image before releasing the image lock.

Use the image lock for the bake clone. When base can refer to config.tart.image, call tart.cloneLocked(base, staging). The --base option accepts any image name, while promote() renames config.tart.image under the image lock. The unlocked clone can race with that rename.

- The flock file moves to ~/.tart/image.flock. macOS's daily clean-tmps deletes /tmp files untouched for 3 days, and a waiter that then opens a new file at the path takes a second lock while the first holder keeps the old inode.
- bake fails, leaving the image untouched, unless the guest powers off within 180s after 'shutdown -h now', instead of force-stopping it and promoting that disk. The ssh status is not checked: the session usually drops as the guest shuts down.

Promise.race does not cancel the losing Bun.sleep(180_000), so a bake whose guest powered off at once still kept the process alive for the rest of the 180s. The timeout is now a setTimeout that is cleared when the race settles.
