WalkthroughThe container workflows now publish run-specific images and expose digest-qualified image paths. The multi-architecture workflow creates its manifest from the architecture image digests and validates the manifest digest. The Guix workflow builds from its published image digest. Both workflows apply canonical tags only under specified event conditions. Workflow permissions are assigned at workflow and job level. New tests check publication behavior, digest handling, permissions, and checkout selection.

162-179: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 TrivialAdd a retention policy for
run-*tags.Every run and every retry now pushes three new tags:
run-<id>-<attempt>-amd64,run-<id>-<attempt>-arm64, and the manifest tagrun-<id>-<attempt>. This happens for each image: full, slim, and Guix. No step in this change deletes these tags. GHCR package versions will grow without limit. Add a scheduled cleanup, for example withactions/delete-package-versions, that removesrun-*versions older than N days. The cleanup must not remove digests that canonical tags reference.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
The reviewed changes consistently publish run-specific images, assemble manifests from recorded digests, and pass immutable image references to consumers; no blocking defect was confirmed. One commit-history suggestion remains. The supplied CI snapshot shows successful container publication and lint, three test jobs still running, and mixed PR-title validation results; no Guix result is shown, and no local tests were run.

🟡 Suggestion: Squash the regression-test lint fix into its introducing commit
<commit:19ad26db59>:1
Commit 19ad26d only removes the shebang and adds an explicit encoding in the regression script introduced by 8ad8b93. The introducing commit gives that non-executable file a shebang, which the repository's lint-files.py explicitly rejects. These two corrections are part of making the original change lint-clean rather than an independently meaningful follow-up. Fold 19ad26d into 8ad8b93 before an unsquashed merge so the permanent history contains one complete, independently valid change, consistent with the project's atomic-commit guidance.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)
Static review of the complete diff at 1859273 found no actionable in-scope defects: producer digests reach the full/slim and Guix consumers, canonical promotion is restricted to the intended trusted refs, and package-write permissions are limited to image producers. The rewritten range contains one coherent commit, resolving the prior commit-hygiene finding. Current CI shows all four architecture-image jobs passing, both manifest jobs pending, and the advisory conflict-prediction check failing; these PR checks use the base reusable workflows and do not establish live validation of the changed publication path.

Under pull_request_target, container builds use the PR's Dockerfile with a packages: write token. They pushed the same tags that every other run consumed (`:<hash>-<arch>`, `:latest`, and `:develop`, because GITHUB_REF is the base branch), so one run could replace the image another run used, including the image the Guix job runs with --privileged, and could seed the inline cache that trusted builds read. - Pull request builds now only write `untrusted` scratch tags that nothing reads. Consumers use the digest this run produced. - Trusted (push, and the Guix schedule) builds read and write cache only under a new `trusted-` prefix, so tags previously written by pull requests are never reused as cache. They still publish the existing `:<hash>`, `:<branch>` and `:latest` tags. - Only the image-producer jobs keep packages: write. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Over two weeks (2026-09-22 to 10-06), dashpay/dash CI used 1,541 runner-hours, and compiling was about 48% of a typical pull request run. Almost all of that compiling was repeated work: - 279 of 288 pull request runs came from collaborators whose fork had already built the same head commit on push. - Pull request runs cannot save to the GitHub Actions cache: since June 2026, `pull_request_target` gets a read-only cache token. - Develop runs rarely reached their cache saves. 55 of 81 were cancelled by the next merge, and the 10 GB repository cache stayed full, so fresh entries were evicted within hours. - In sampled pull request runs, the linux64 ccache hit rate was often 2-35%. ## What was done? This adds a second-level ccache that every run can read and trusted runs can write. The server is bazel-remote at https://cache.thepasta.org. It runs on an isolated VLAN, reachable only through a Cloudflare tunnel, with least-recently-used eviction at 250 GiB. Its setup lives at https://github.com/PastaPastaPasta/dash-ci-cache. ccache checks the local cache restored from GitHub first and asks the remote only on a miss. 1. **ccache 4.14.1 in the CI image.** Remote storage over HTTPS needs a storage helper, which ccache supports from 4.13 on; noble ships 4.9.1. The image now installs the upstream release binary and the reference `ccache-storage-http-go` helper, with pinned SHA-256 sums. 2. **Only trusted runs get write access.** `check-skip` now emits `cache-write`: - Any push gets it, since a push only ever sees its own repository's secret. - A `pull_request_target` run gets it only if author, actor and head-repository owner all pass the existing `SELFHOSTED_LINT_AUTHORS` check. The src-* jobs pass `CCACHE_REMOTE_AUTH` through a `secrets:` mapping that yields an empty string when the gate is closed. That mapping is resolved before the job reaches a runner, so an untrusted pull request never holds the credential. This depends on #7809: build jobs now run in an image digest produced by their own run, which a pull request cannot replace. 3. **A "Configure remote ccache" step.** Writers get a netrc file and reshare mode; everyone else reads only. The step leaves the build on the local cache alone when: - the health check fails; - `CCACHE_REMOTE_DISABLE` is set; - the image has no HTTPS helper. This covers open pull requests whose head predates commit 1, because apt's ccache 4.9 rejects the new configuration. The netrc is deleted when the build step exits, whether or not the compile succeeded, so it is gone before unit tests run. Remote hit and miss counts appear in the job summary. 4. **Develop builds always finish; only superseded tests are cancelled.** Each develop push gets its own run-wide concurrency group, and builds, depends and lint have no group at all, so every build finishes and saves its caches. Concurrency groups follow queue order rather than commit age, so the last step of Build source and of Run linters asks the remote where develop's tip is and records the run as `current`, `superseded` or unknown (lookup failed). Tests are skipped if either check says superseded; they join a develop-wide per-target group with `cancel-in-progress` only if both say current; otherwise they run in a group of their own run and cannot cancel anything. A delayed older run therefore never cancels the newest run's tests. Every other ref still cancels whole runs exactly as before. 5. **Keep one ccache generation per target in the GitHub cache.** After a develop push, a job with job-scoped `actions: write` deletes older `ccache-`/`ctcache-` entries for each target, so the 10 GB cache stops evicting fresh snapshots. Writers each get their own credential (`scripts/add-writer.sh` on the server), so one can be revoked without touching the others. ## How Has This Been Tested? - `python3 .github/workflows/test_select_dynamic_runner.py`: all 35 tests pass. The 5 new gate tests cover push, trusted same-repo and fork pull requests, each of the three identities failing on its own, and other events. Replacing the gate with `return True` fails 6 tests. - Dockerfile install block, helper, bazel layout and netrc auth: run in a clean `ubuntu:24.04` against the live server. A compile wrote its result; after wiping the local cache, an anonymous read-only lookup got a remote hit. - Server access rules, checked through the public URL: anonymous GET 200/404, anonymous PUT 401, wrong password 401, correct credential 200, anonymous DELETE 401. - On the PastaPastaPasta fork (push events run this branch's workflows): - Cold run 37651340691: every build ran read-write, about 99% of compiler calls were cacheable (mac included), and there were no remote errors or timeouts. Cold build times matched today's. - Warm run 37660284910: same tree under another branch name, with an empty GitHub cache, so every hit came from the remote: | Target | Cold "Build source" | Warm "Build source" | Remote hits | |---|---|---|---| | linux64_nowallet | 1018 s | 147 s | 1024 / 1024 | | aarch64-linux | 1483 s | 166 s | 997 / 998 | | win64 | 2031 s | 130 s | 1044 / 1045 | The linux64, fuzz and sqlite builds in the cold run never started: GitHub reported "failed to be acquired (5 attempts)". The warm run built them cold. - The prune job's jq filter was dry-run against dashpay/dash's real cache list. It selected exactly the six older-generation entries and kept the newest per target. - The develop freshness check was run against the real remote: a tip equal to the run's commit gives `current`, a moved tip gives `superseded`, and an unreachable remote leaves it unset without failing. - actionlint reports nothing new. Not exercised live: the develop concurrency change and the prune job only run on pushes to the default branch. ## Breaking Changes None for users. The first build after merge starts from an empty local cache, because the ccache version and the image hash both change the cache key. Manually re-running the tests of an older develop run enters the shared test group and cancels the newest run's test for that target; re-run the newest run instead. `dashpay/dash` needs the `CCACHE_REMOTE_AUTH` repository secret for develop and trusted pull requests to write. Without it, everything reads only. ## Checklist: - [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code - [ ] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation (operational docs live in the dash-ci-cache README) - [ ] I have assigned this pull request to a milestone _(for repository code-owners and collaborators only)_ 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Top commit has no ACKs.
