fix(release): isolate native build caches by runner image

[senamakel]

The v0.3.0 Ubuntu 22 ARM release failed because its cache restored a build-script executable linked against Ubuntu 24’s GLIBC 2.39. Scope native release caches to each distribution and architecture using the existing matrix identity. This preserves every build, ABI probe, and supported target.

A regression checks that each actual native matrix entry has a distinct effective cache key; it fails before the fix and passes afterwards. All three release-workflow regressions pass. Retry the release only after this workflow fix merges; no release asset has been replaced.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores

  • Separated native build caches by release and architecture to reduce cache conflicts in release builds.

• Tests

  • Added a check that verifies each native build configuration uses a distinct cache key.

What changed

The release workflow's native bundle job now passes a cache key `release-native-${{ matrix.id }}` to Swatinem/rust-cache@v2 (.github/workflows/release.yml#jobs:), so Ubuntu releases and each architecture get separate native build caches. A new regression test in tests/release_workflow.rs#fn release_minor_and_major_bumps_keep_the_local_contract_dependency_compatible()'s file parses the native bundle job, collects matrix ids, substitutes them into the cache key, and asserts the set of expanded keys matches the number of ids. No behavioural change outside configuration and tests was reported by the tests lane.

Features

• Modified — Native release cache isolation by runner image and architecture: Native build scripts, which link against the runner image's system libraries, will no longer share rust-cache entries across Ubuntu releases or architectures, avoiding stale or incompatible cached build artifacts in release builds. The workflow edit is minimal and does not widen permissions or change third-party actions. (.github/workflows/release.yml#jobs:)

Tests

No supported feature-to-test mapping was produced. Test execution is not inferred.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The native-bundles workflow now derives its Rust cache key from the matrix ID. A test verifies that multiple native matrix IDs produce distinct cache keys.

Changes

Native cache separation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runner-specific cache key .github/workflows/release.yml, tests/release_workflow.rs	The workflow configures the Rust cache key as release-native-${{ matrix.id }}. A test checks that the key resolves to a distinct value for each native matrix ID.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk | 🔵 Low · up to 29515

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 29515

The cache change remains mergeable; the remaining concern is a misleading test failure message if the key is removed.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 29515

The change narrows build-cache sharing without expanding release permissions or changing supported targets. No introduced security issue was established, but effective cache isolation still depends on the external cache action’s restore and save behavior.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The directly affected execution scope is the native release matrix’s cached build state, with downstream influence on release modules. The change does not expand the existing repository release authority or establish exposure in another service or tenant.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The workflow is manually dispatched with a constrained version-bump choice. The new key uses literal runner identities from the workflow matrix rather than dispatch input. No new pull-request trigger or attacker-controlled cache-key input is introduced.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Existing concurrency settings do not cancel in-progress releases, native matrix failure does not automatically cancel sibling builds, and publication depends on both bundle job sets. These contain workflow-level interruption and partial-build outcomes, but do not establish cache-action recovery semantics.

103-106: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Fail the test explicitly when the cache key: is missing.

If the key: line is removed, unwrap_or("") gives an empty string. key.replace(...) then returns the same empty string for every ID. All keys collapse to one entry, so the assertion fails. The failure message then blames cache boundaries instead of the missing key. The function already returns Result, so use ok_or to report the real cause.

Proposed fix

     let key = cache
         .lines()
         .find_map(|line| line.trim().strip_prefix("key: "))
-        .unwrap_or("");
+        .ok_or("missing native cache key")?;
