bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	f630e50e75	ci: the refresh publishes only what the gate passed (#3265 milestone step 4) ... The gate reported a verdict nothing consulted. Now it decides. The promote moved out of the three build jobs into its own `promote` job, because the verdict cannot exist until build-web has finished and the promote used to run inside it. `needs: [build-web, build-ml, build-agent, smoke-web]` is the whole mechanism: a failed smoke skips the promote, so a refresh that broke something leaves :latest naming the build that works. "The refresh failed" and "production is broken" must not be the same event. A SKIPPED smoke also skips it, and that is the case that matters most. On run 5290 the gate silently skipped itself — job-level `if:` cannot read the env context — and a design where only a FAILED gate blocks would have published unverified images while reporting success. Not running is not the same as passing, and today produced two separate bugs of exactly that shape (#3414, and the smoke-web skip). All three images now promote together or not at all. They are one stack: build.yml already refuses to publish a :dev web image beside a stale :dev ml because the mismatch only surfaces as a runtime failure, and a refresh that published ml while withholding web would be that same trap reached through the gate. Stated plainly in the job comment: the gate covers web only, so ml and agent are held to web's verdict rather than their own. That is the conservative direction, not equivalent evidence, and should not be read as if it were. Three near-identical promote steps collapsed into one loop. A partial failure now says which images moved and that the state is inconsistent, rather than leaving that to be inferred — the promote is idempotent and the candidates are still published, so the instruction is simply to re-run. Also removed the now-dead `promote` output from the ml and agent reuse steps. Only build-web's is read (as outputs.candidate); two more copies nothing consults is the kind of thing that reads as load-bearing a year later.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	86abaf0b94	docs: a new install could not start, and nothing told anyone why (#3422) ... The install path milestone 328 wrote produces a web container that exits on boot. entrypoint.sh runs alembic, then app construction raises: MissingCredentialKey: Fernet key file not found at /images/secrets/credential_key.b64. For first-time setup, set CURATOR_BOOTSTRAP_NEW_KEY=1. That variable appeared in no README, no .env.example and no compose file — only in backend/. So a stranger following the documented steps got an app that does not start and an error with no context. Found by the milestone-362 smoke gate on its first real run (#3422). The product behaviour stays exactly as it is. credential_crypto refuses to mint a key because the 2026-06-02 audit found a partial restore — database back, ./images/secrets lost — silently generating a fresh one and producing a healthy-looking instance where every authenticated download failed AUTH_ERROR. Failing fast is right; not saying so is the bug. So: .env.example carries the variable in its own FIRST BOOT ONLY section with the reasoning and an instruction to delete the line afterwards, and README's First run leads with it, because "the app will not start" belongs before "the ML worker downloads weights". Both say to back up ./images/secrets/ alongside the database, which is the part that costs real data if it is learned late. **compose had to change too, and this is the part that would have shipped a second broken instruction.** A variable in `.env` is only used for ${...} interpolation — it does not reach the container unless the service names it. Telling people to set it in .env, without that, would have documented a step that does nothing. Added to the shared app_env anchor, defaulted to empty so the refusal still stands for everyone who has not opted in. Not taken: auto-bootstrapping when the credential table is empty, which would remove the manual step entirely and keep the audit's protection for restores. That is the better product and it is a code change with a predicate that has to be exactly right; this is the smallest correct fix, and #3422 stays open for the other one.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	4815040d74	ci: the smoke gate found a real one on its first run — and had two bugs of its own ... Run 5296 was `smoke-web`'s first genuine execution. Checks 1 and 2 passed: alembic built the schema from empty inside the image, all five apt binaries resolved, and the application's own Thumbnailer produced JPEG, PNG-with-alpha, WebP and an ffmpeg video frame against the image's libraries. Check 3 failed, and the trap's log dump said exactly why: MissingCredentialKey: Fernet key file not found at /images/secrets/credential_key.b64. For first-time setup, set CURATOR_BOOTSTRAP_NEW_KEY=1. That is the product being right. credential_crypto refuses to mint a key unless someone opts in, because the 2026-06-02 audit found a partial restore (DB back, /images/secrets/ lost) silently generating a fresh one and leaving a working-looking system where every authenticated download failed AUTH_ERROR. It is also a first-run blocker for milestone 328, filed as #3422: the variable appears in no README, no .env.example and no compose file, so the install path that milestone just finished writing produces a container that exits on boot. Not fixed here — the fix trades safety against friction and is the operator's call. Two defects in the gate itself, both surfaced by the same run: - A throwaway CI instance IS first-time setup, so it now passes CURATOR_BOOTSTRAP_NEW_KEY=1. The check was asserting a condition no fresh container can satisfy. - The health loop polled a dead container for 3m35s. Docker had already recycled its IP, so the replies were a baffling mix of connection-refused and 5s timeouts from whatever took the address next. It now checks `.State.Running` each iteration and fails immediately with the container's log. The trap had the real answer the whole time; this stops burying it under four minutes of noise. Also corrected a message claiming a 120s budget: 60 iterations of up to 5s connect plus 2s sleep is nearer seven minutes.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	81b7b6f308	ci: smoke-web never ran — a job's if: cannot read the env context ... Run 5290 dispatched a refresh. Everything worked: the guard fired, the build published the candidate, the promote pointed :latest at it. And `smoke-web` reported conclusion "skipped", with no steps and no log. Its condition was `if: env.IS_REFRESH == 'true'`. The env context is available to STEP conditions and step bodies but never to a job's own `if:`, and an unresolvable context there evaluates to empty rather than erroring. So the gate skipped itself, silently, on the one run that existed to exercise it. Second silent-skip of this family today, after #3414. Same shape both times: something evaluated false, nothing failed, and the run reported success. It is worth naming the pattern — on this pipeline, "green" and "ran" are different claims, and the steps' own conclusions are the only place the difference shows. Fixed by keying off a job output rather than re-deriving the trigger: build-web now exposes the reuse step's `promote` decision as `outputs.candidate` and smoke-web consumes it. That is better than duplicating the expression: it is the same single decision the build, the XPI download and the promote all take already — build.yml's own "one decision drives everything downstream" — and it asserts the thing smoke-web actually depends on, that a candidate was published, rather than restating the reason one would be.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	bfa9fd678b	ci: smoke the refreshed image against real Postgres and Redis ... Milestone 362 step 3. This is the gate the weekly base refresh never had. `ci.yml` cannot be that gate, and the reason matters more than the fix. Its lanes run on ci-python:3.14 and install requirements.txt — a base refresh changes neither, so all five stay green through a bump that breaks the product. What a refresh re-resolves is the Dockerfile's apt layer: ffmpeg unar libpq5 postgresql-client zstd megatools libjpeg62-turbo libwebp7 libpng16-16 ca-certificates Unpinned, every build, and nothing else in this repo looks at it. That line is the dependency creep; it is also precisely what the test suite structurally cannot observe, since the suite never runs inside the image and the image carries no tests and no pytest. So `smoke-web` runs the CANDIDATE IMAGE against real service containers: 1. `alembic upgrade head` on an empty database — the image's own libpq and psycopg, and the same call entrypoint.sh makes before it serves anything, so a failure here is a failure to boot. 2. The apt binaries, then the application's own `Thumbnailer` — JPEG, PNG with alpha, WebP, and a video frame through ffmpeg. `Thumbnailer` needs no database and no app context, so the check exercises real product code rather than a proxy for it. `ffmpeg -version` exiting 0 would pass while a codec removal broke every thumbnail in the library. 3. The web role boots and answers /api/health. Every failure names the package it implicates. This fires on a Sunday, unattended, about a change nobody made deliberately — "assertion failed" a week later teaches nobody anything. The script is piped over stdin rather than bind-mounted: the workspace is a docker volume belonging to the job's own container, so a host bind of $PWD does not resolve for a sibling. Container logs are dumped only on failure, and the trap re-exits with the real status rather than the status of `docker rm`. Deliberately NOT gating the promote yet — that is step 4. Landing the gate and the thing it gates together would mean the first time anyone saw this job run would also be the first time it could stop a publish.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	24a2b70a5a	ci: a boolean input never equals the string 'true' ... The refresh lever did not work, and the way it did not work is the point. Run 5270 dispatched with refresh=true. Its log: expression '(github.event_name == 'schedule' || github.event.inputs.refresh == 'true') && 'true' || 'false'' evaluated to '%!t(string=false)' trigger: event=workflow_dispatch IS_REFRESH='false' BUILD_REF='refs/heads/dev' trigger: raw inputs refresh='true' force_build='false' The input arrived as true and the comparison still said false. `type: boolean` delivers a real boolean, and GitHub expression semantics cast operands to numbers when their types differ — so `true == 'true'` compares 1 against NaN. My comment on the previous commit asserted the opposite, that Forgejo delivers inputs as strings, and asserted it without checking. The run went GREEN with every step skipped, because a refresh that evaluates false is indistinguishable from an ordinary push. A lever that silently does nothing is worse than no lever: it would have been trusted. Normalised through format(), which is representation-independent — a boolean true and a string 'true' both render 'true'. That is also why force_build was never bitten: it passes its raw value into an env var and compares in the shell, where everything is a string already. format() buys the same thing at expression level, which is where a step `if:` needs the answer. The diagnostic from the previous commit stays. It is what turned this from a guess into a measurement, and it is the only thing that would catch the same class of failure next time.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	2c88ad3efb	ci: report the raw and normalised trigger values ... The refresh dispatch on run 5265 went green with every step skipped: the main-only guard did not fire, checkout took dev, and the reuse step read IS_REFRESH as false. So both workflow-level expressions evaluated false while the identical accessor works for force_build, which compares its value in the shell rather than in an expression. That is a guess until it is measured, and the failure is silent by construction — a refresh that evaluates false behaves exactly like an ordinary push and reports success. This prints the raw input beside the normalised value in the step that already exists to say what a run derived, so the two disagreeing is visible rather than inferred.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	bfc4f9cec9	ci: one fact for "is this a base refresh", and a lever to trigger one ... Milestone 362, enabling step 2's verification and everything after it. The weekly refresh was testable once a week. That is not a cadence anything can be developed against, and milestone 362's whole point is a gate — which has to be watched rejecting something before anyone can believe it is wired up. So `refresh` joins `force_build` as a dispatch input, on the same reasoning that added that one (#3252: confirm #3190 was gone rather than wait for it to recur). Adding it meant confronting that "is this a refresh?" was asked in five places and spelled five ways: `github.event_name == 'schedule'` in an `if:`, `$GITHUB_EVENT_NAME` in one shell, an `EVENT:` env passed into another, and a bare expression on `pull:`. Five spellings of one fact is how half of them come to disagree once somebody adds a sixth trigger — which is precisely what this commit is. So it is derived once at the top, next to BUILD_REF, which already exists for exactly this reason on exactly this question. String comparison, not boolean: Forgejo delivers dispatch inputs as strings, so `inputs.refresh` is 'true'/'false' and `&&` on it would read the string 'false' as truthy. **A constraint this makes visible, which pre-dates it.** A refresh checks out `main` (BUILD_REF) while running the workflow definition from the branch that triggered it — the cron registers from the default branch. So dev's workflow builds main's source, and dev's workflow cannot depend on anything main's tree does not have yet. It does now: the reuse step calls `artifacts.sh epoch`, which lands on main with this batch. Until then a refresh dispatch fails loudly at that call, which is the right failure — the alternative is tolerating a missing epoch and silently rebuilding #3265 into every refresh.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	b590d25f8f	ci: the scheduled refresh builds a candidate, then names the channel ... Milestone 362 step 2. Structural: it creates a moment between "built" and "published" for step 3's gate to occupy. No behaviour change. A refresh rebuilds against freshly resolved base images, and the web image's runtime is a line of UNPINNED Debian packages — ffmpeg, libjpeg62-turbo, libpq5, megatools — re-resolved on every build. Nothing in ci.yml can see that: its lanes run on ci-python:3.14 and install requirements.txt, and a base bump changes neither. So refreshed bytes need proving before :latest names them, and proving needs somewhere to stand. On a push nothing changes: build_ref IS channel_ref, promote is false, and the build writes the channel tag directly the way it always has. On the schedule the build writes :refresh-candidate — one moving ref per image, overwritten in place, holding a build nobody is told to pull. That is the shape rule 145 already allows for :buildcache, not the per-build tag family 318 withdrew. Both values are decided in the reuse step beside `hit`, because that step already owns "what does this job do" (build.yml's own rule, at the force branch). A promote condition derived somewhere else could disagree with the tag the build actually wrote. **The promote is a manifest PUT, not `imagetools create`.** That distinction is the whole risk in this change. `imagetools create` wraps its source in an index, and an indexed channel tag is the one thing this pipeline cannot survive: `.Image.Config.Labels` does not resolve through an index, so the fc.revision the reuse check reads back would come up empty, every later push would miss and rebuild, and nothing would go red. That is #3183, observed on run 4751 — reuse worked exactly once and the only symptom was the bill. The repoint step already excludes its own source tag for this reason; a promote that re-introduced the wrap through another door would undo that care. A manifest PUT is what "make this tag name that image" means at the registry: same bytes, same media type, identical digest, no layer transfer. It reads the result back and fails if the tag does not name what was just written — a PUT that 2xx'd and landed something else is exactly the silent-and-plausible failure this pipeline keeps producing. Every call carries a deadline (rule 156); a registry that stops answering must fail the step, not hang the weekly refresh until the job times out. Promote is UNCONDITIONAL today, deliberately. Gating it before the gate exists would leave the refresh building something and publishing nothing for as long as this milestone takes. Step 4 wraps it in the smoke suite's verdict. Not yet verified on the refresh path — that needs a scheduled run, and the lever to trigger one on demand is the next commit. This one is verified by the push path being untouched.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	635138b0d1	ci: pin the build clock to the commit, so an unchanged refresh publishes nothing ... Milestone 362 step 1, closing #3265's root cause. The weekly base refresh rewrote all three `:latest` tags on 2026-08-30 with nothing changed in any of them. Not a cache miss — run 4934's log shows every content step CACHED and both bases resolved to unchanged pinned digests. buildkit stamps the image config with the wall clock of the build, so identical layers get republished under a new config blob and therefore a new manifest digest. The cost is not storage, it is meaning: `:latest` moved on a calendar, so a digest change stopped being evidence that anything was different. That is the one thing a digest is any use for, and it is load-bearing here — the reuse check, the `:c-<sha>` rollback story and any future redeploy signal all rest on it. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH normalises `created` and the history timestamps, so the same source produces the same config bytes and the same digest, and pushing it is a registry no-op. The value is routed through artifacts.sh's existing `newest()` rather than taken from git separately. `revision`, `version` and now `epoch` are three fields of ONE lookup, so they cannot drift into naming different commits — a divergence that would stamp an image reproducibly against one commit while it reported being another, with both values looking perfectly well-formed. Note #3127 §2 is the record of what a second clock costs; this adds a view, not a clock. Also corrected: the build step comment and ci-requirements.md both described the churn as current behaviour with the fix as a "likely" future. They now describe what the file does. Tests pin the property the fix depends on, not the fix: epoch is the same commit version names, in both renderings including the extension's unpadded one, and it does not move between two calls on one checkout. A future refactor that gave epoch its own `git log` would pass every other test in that file. Not yet verified end to end — proving it needs two consecutive refreshes to land on the same digest, which is the next thing, and is the step #3265 exists because nobody did last time.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	c0370069e0	release: the first release describes the product; it has nothing to diff against ... Step 7 needs a release that reads as "what is FabledCurator and how do I run it". What the script would actually have published is "changes since v26.06.04.0" over 533 commits, truncated to 200 — a release page whose first screen is the internal build-out that milestone 328 exists to stop shipping, addressed to a reader who has never seen this project. Two causes, fixed separately. **A pre-convention tag is history, not a predecessor.** The 28 `v26.*` tags were kept when their releases were deleted, so `--match v*` walks ancestry straight back to one of them. Reachable is not comparable: nobody has run v26.06.04.0 and its release page no longer exists to compare against. The match is now `v[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].*` — rule 148's shape, which is exactly the set of tags naming a release a reader could have been running. **With that narrowed, the first rule-148 tag reaches no predecessor**, and the old fallback — diff against the whole history — is worse than the problem it replaced. A release with no predecessor now renders the product overview and no commit list at all. The overview is READ OUT OF README.md between `<!-- overview:start -->` and `<!-- overview:end -->`, not written into the script, for the same reason the changelog is derived: two hand-maintained descriptions of one product drift and nothing ever catches it. The release page and the repo front page are one source. Missing markers are reported as a note and publish anyway, on cross_checks()'s reasoning — the release is still the useful object. Every later release goes back to being a changelog, which is what note #3127 §5 says a release is for. MAX_COMMITS still guards the case it now guards: two real releases far enough apart that the list stops being readable. Also corrected while marking up the README: "Importing — ingests an existing library from disk" was still advertising the folder-import feature that 3590c47 documented as deliberately retired. Replaced with what FC actually does with what arrives — content-hash dedup, sidecar metadata, provenance. Tests: the two that asserted the old no-predecessor behaviour are rewritten rather than left; synthetic repos now carry their own copy of the script, since the overview resolves relative to `__file__` (correct in production, where release.yml checks out the tag) and would otherwise have every fixture silently quoting FabledCurator's real README.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	3590c478f5	docs+ci: folder import stays retired, and fix a readiness probe that never probed ... Two unrelated things, both found while closing out milestone 328. **Folder import (#3367).** The operator's call, this session: the import-from-file surface was abandoned on purpose and is not coming back — "it has its own complexities that we didn't need." The README and the compose comment both described the missing button as a rough edge with a tracking issue, which promised a fix that is not coming. Both now say the retirement is the decision, name Subscriptions as the supported way to fill a new install, and describe /api/import/trigger as an unsupported escape hatch for anyone who wants to script one. **The CI readiness probe.** ci.yml's integration job and baseline.yml both waited for Postgres with `(echo > /dev/tcp/$PG_IP/5432)`. Those steps run under `sh -e` — act's default shell — where /dev/tcp is not a magic path but a filename that does not exist. The probe could therefore never succeed: run 18035, a GREEN run, spends 05:20:53 → 05:22:53 in that loop and exits it by exhaustion, not by connecting. Every integration run has been paying a flat 120s for a check that established nothing, and proceeding regardless. Replaced with a socket connect in python (present in the image, no package needed), and exhausting the budget is now a named failure instead of a silent fall-through — rule 156.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	8a4af589f1	docs: write the install path for someone who is not the operator (#3271) ... FC has no login — no User model, no session auth, nothing. That was a deliberate call for a single-operator tool and it stays (operator, this session), but it was nowhere in the docs, and the app stores live Patreon / SubscribeStar / Pixiv session cookies on accounts that carry a payment method. Anyone standing this up from the README could reasonably have put it behind a TLS-terminating proxy and considered it handled. So the no-auth posture is now stated three times, in the three places someone decides where to bind the port: README has a "Before you expose it" section above the install instructions, .env.example explains why there is no auth variable in it, and the compose header says it before the first service. SECURITY.md claimed the opposite. It listed "a multi-user sharing ACL — instances can be shared" among the things worth protecting; there are no accounts to share between. That was rule 47 applied to a codebase that does not implement it, and it would have told a researcher FC holds a boundary it does not. Replaced with the real posture, including that TLS without an authenticating layer in front changes nothing. Also corrected, all of it stale rather than wrong-at-the-time: - EXTENSION_API_KEY was dead config. config.py read it into a field nothing consumed; the real key is generated into app_setting on first use and managed in the UI. Removed from config.py, compose and .env.example. - .env.example pointed at docs/superpowers/specs/… — there is no docs/ dir — and described the extension key as "lands in FC-3", closed 2026-05-21. - The /import mount comment described an FC-5 ImageRepo migration run from "Settings → Maintenance → Legacy migration", a surface with no frontend. - README said the extension installs from Settings → Maintenance. It is on Subscriptions → Settings. README is now split: running FC above the line, developing FC below it, with requirements, first run, the extension, upgrading and troubleshooting on the running side. First run documents the one real gap it found — a new installer with a library on disk has no button to import it, only POST /api/import/trigger, because the manual-scan UI was retired 2026-07-02 when that stopped mattering for an established install. Filed as #3367. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_017QHszn9H8VBvx5Ke8x1hvw	2026-09-02 00:16:23 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	aa71cbbdbf	db: the baseline was missing the three system-tag seeds (#3266) ... Integration caught it: 36 tests failing with NoResultFound, all on _system_tag(db, "banner") and its siblings. 0075 seeds three hygiene system tags — wip, banner, editor screenshot — and the first version of the baseline carried only the two settings singletons. This is the same defect class the baseline's own docstring warns about, which I then walked into anyway. The reason is worth recording: my scan for data statements used a regex requiring INSERT to sit immediately after the opening quote, so it saw op.execute("INSERT INTO ml_settings (id) VALUES (1)") and missed 0075, which builds the statement through sa.text() across several lines with bound parameters. The narrow pattern found two of three seeds and reported itself complete. The wider scan — grep for insert/bulk_insert across every revision in 725bf15 — turns up six data-writing migrations, and they separate mechanically: INSERT ... VALUES (literals) = SEED. Product data. Carry it. 0002 import_settings, 0003 ml_settings, 0075 system tags INSERT ... SELECT ... FROM tbl = BACKFILL. Derives from existing rows, inserts nothing on an empty database, correctly omitted. 0034 artist_visit, 0040 and 0047 series_chapter That rule is now in the docstring, because the next person collapsing a chain needs the rule more than they need the answer. 0075's adopt-before-insert guard is kept as WHERE NOT EXISTS. It cannot fire on the empty database this file runs against — it existed because an operator might already have hand-tagged `wip` — but it makes the statement re-runnable for free. Worth stating plainly: baseline.yml passed on the version without these rows, and would pass again. It compares schema, and a baseline missing every seed still produces a byte-identical schema. The integration suite is what caught this, which is the argument for the first-run check that #3271 should carry.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	973db73221	db: collapse alembic 0001..0089 into one baseline (#3266) ... 89 files and 6,300 lines become one file of 807. Nothing about the resulting schema changes; what goes away is the requirement that a new installation replay our development history to arrive at it. revision = "0089", down_revision = None. That pairing IS the migration strategy for existing installs, not a detail of it: a deployed database already has alembic_version = '0089' from running the real 0089, so alembic reads the version table, sees head reached, and does nothing. No stamp is required — which matters, because `alembic stamp` writes a version string without validating anything about the schema it is writing it against, and a wrong stamp is indistinguishable from a right one until the next migration fails. An empty database runs the file and records 0089. Both paths converge. The next migration is 0090, as it would have been; the numbering is continuous across the collapse on purpose. Autogenerate produced nearly all of this unaided, which was NOT true of the first attempt — that one was reverted because the generator silently dropped eleven indexes and three uniqueness guarantees. #3275 put those on the models first, so the HNSW index with its opclass, the COALESCE expression index, the partial uniques, 107 server_defaults and the enum CHECKs are all emitted now. Doing the reconciliation before the squash, rather than after, is what made this work. Hand-added, because none of it can live in a model: * CREATE EXTENSION vector / tsm_system_rows (0001, 0004) — database objects, not table metadata. * The pgvector import. Autogenerate writes qualified pgvector.sqlalchemy.vector.VECTOR references without importing the package, so its own output cannot run (run 4988). * THE TWO SEED ROWS. 0002 and 0003 did not only build schema — each inserted a settings singleton, and nothing in the app ever creates them: ImportSettings.load() and MLSettings.load() are select(...).scalar_one(), which RAISES NoResultFound rather than returning None. A models-only baseline would leave both tables empty and crash a fresh install on first settings access, while baseline.yml reported a perfect schema match. Only running the app against a new database finds that. Not carried over: 0023's DELETE FROM tag and 0047's series deletes, which are historical cleanups operating on rows an empty database lacks. downgrade() raises. A baseline's downgrade is "drop every table", which is a data-loss event wearing a migration as a disguise; offering it as one invites someone to run it. Restore from a backup. Also removed, per the plan: the 10 test_migration_*.py files (they assert intermediate states and backfills that no longer exist — a test that a column exists is already the model tests' job) and backend/app/utils/artist_backfill.py, whose only importer was 0008. Verified no other consumer anywhere in backend/ or tests/. baseline.yml changes with it. chain_ref now DEFAULTS to 725bf15, since the tree no longer carries a chain to compare against — that pinned commit is the last one that does. And the CheckConstraint repair is removed, because it never fired. I added it claiming autogenerate re-doubles a constraint name on the round trip and asserted in b979062 that it was "still correct and still needed". It is not: autogenerate wraps names in op.f(), which marks them already-formatted and blocks the convention from re-applying. Tested against the real candidate line — the regex matches nothing. What actually fixed the mismatch was 0088's renames alone. The doubling is a real hazard, but of hand-writing a pre-prefixed name, not of the generator; the comment asserting otherwise was worse than the dead code under it. The header comment is rewritten for the same reason — it described 87 revisions, and claimed the HNSW index could not be expressed in a model, which #3275 disproved. It now also states plainly what this check CANNOT see: it compares schema, so a green run means the schema is right, not that the baseline is.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	bc4eba636d	fix: the documented install path pulled :dev, not :latest (#3270) ... docker-compose.yml pinned :dev on all five app services — web, worker, scheduler, maintenance-long, ml-worker. The README documents `docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d` as the production path, and -f means "use only this file", skipping the override and its build: directives. So Compose pulled image:, and image: was the rolling development channel. The documented way to install this product shipped development builds. It went unnoticed for a structural reason rather than a careless one: nobody who works on the project takes that path. The operator deploys from a swarm stack file; contributors get docker-compose.override.yml, which sets build: for all five services, and build: wins over image:. The broken path is reachable only by a stranger following the README — which is exactly the audience that did not exist until now. :latest, per rule 147: main IS production. It is also what the agent stack (agent/docker-compose.yml) already pinned, so this makes the two stacks agree rather than introducing a new convention. Both paths verified with `docker compose config`, which merges and prints without starting anything: dev path — build: present on all five, image: not pulled -f production — 0 build: directives, five :latest images resolved Also checked the base file for anything a stranger could not satisfy: no host-absolute volume paths, no operator-specific port bindings, no device mappings. The tag was the only defect in the consumer path. The comment on web.image is deliberately long (rule 32). A line reading :latest inside a file a developer is debugging with is exactly the line someone flips back to :dev to test something and then commits, and the consequence — strangers silently installing bleeding edge — is invisible to everyone who works here.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	dbc4e8b0c6	docs: AGPL-3.0, plus SECURITY and CONTRIBUTING (#3269) ... The repo had no LICENSE, which meant all rights reserved by default: nobody could legally run or modify it, and "public availability" was a contradiction no amount of install documentation could fix. This is the hard blocker in milestone 328; everything else in it is quality. AGPL-3.0, at the operator's explicit choice, for the reason the operator gave: this should not become something another party runs as a hosted proprietary service. Section 13 is what makes it fit — for a self-hosted web app, distribution otherwise never happens, so the GPL's obligation would never actually bite. AGPL reaches the case that matters here: running a MODIFIED copy as a service for others. LICENSE is the FSF text fetched from gnu.org and verified byte-identical (34,523 bytes, 661 lines, §13 "Remote Network Interaction" present), not retyped. README's old "Personal project; use at your own discretion" said nothing legally and is replaced with what the licence actually asks — including the part worth being clear about, that running an unmodified copy for yourself carries no obligation whatsoever. SECURITY.md names what this software actually holds, because that is what makes a report serious here: live third-party session cookies for accounts with payment methods attached, the extension API key, the multi-user sharing ACL, and arbitrary downloaded media that gets decoded and fed to models. It also states the plain-HTTP posture up front, so "served over HTTP" and "no HSTS" are understood as the documented design rather than filed as findings. There is no private disclosure channel yet, so the reporting instruction is to open an issue containing NOTHING but the fact that a report exists, and wait for a private contact. Awkward on purpose: an issue tracker is public the moment it is written to, and every self-hosted instance stays vulnerable until its operator can update. Worth replacing with a real contact address — that decision is the operator's, since it publishes one. CONTRIBUTING records the two things that actually catch people: ruff's order-by-type import sorting, and that a model change and its migration belong in the same commit. The second is not style — the models and the chain silently diverged for a long time (#3275) and autogenerate was unsafe as a result. Pre-publication scan, since the repo is about to get attention: .env.example is placeholders only (`changeme_*`), `.env` is gitignored with an `!.env.example` exception, no credential-shaped literals are committed, and there are no private IPs or operator home paths. The only hostnames are the project's own forge, which is public by design.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	08418d54a3	db: index the seven unindexed FKs, drop the seven redundant ones (#3300, #3301) ... A structural sweep of the deployed schema, run AFTER 0088 got the models and the chain to exact agreement. That agreement is what 0088 achieved, and it is worth naming what it does not prove: a models-vs-chain diff shows the two describe the same schema, not that the schema is right. Everything here was wrong in BOTH. The one that matters: image_tag has PRIMARY KEY (image_record_id, tag_id) and no other index, so tag_id is unindexed. That is the gallery's tag filter (tag_query.py builds `image_tag.c.tag_id == tid`) and the ON DELETE CASCADE from tag, both scanning the largest table in the schema. Six more FKs were unindexed on smaller tables; presentation_review.tag_id also CASCADEs. Dropped, on the other side: ix_image_record_sha256 was an exact duplicate of the index uq_image_record_sha256 already builds — two btrees on the same column of the highest-insert-rate table. The other six are single-column indexes a later composite superseded without the narrow one being retired; a btree on (a,b) already serves lookups on a. 0088 deliberately taught the models to declare BOTH sha256 indexes so they would describe reality. This changes the reality instead, and the models change with it — otherwise the next baseline.yml run reintroduces exactly the drift 0088 removed. CONCURRENTLY throughout, so building the image_tag index does not hold an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock over every write for the duration. The cost is that the migration cannot run in a transaction and so is not atomic: every statement is IF NOT EXISTS / IF EXISTS, making a re-run after a partial failure safe. The docstring carries the query for finding an INVALID index left by an interrupted CONCURRENTLY build. What the sweep found clean, for the record: all 43 tables have a primary key; all 51 FKs declare an explicit ON DELETE, so none silently blocks a delete; the three enum CHECKs match the code that writes them (rule 36).

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	b1bd2531ad	style: sort JSON first in three sqlalchemy import blocks ... ruff's isort runs with order-by-type, which sorts ALL_CAPS names ahead of CamelCase ones, so `JSON` belongs at the head of the list rather than between `Integer` and `String`. Two of these (backup_run.py, post.py) have been failing lint since 5e1996e — I did not check the push CI after that commit, only the baseline workflow I had dispatched, so ci.yml has been red on dev across 5e1996e, ed2b1ad and d044e93.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	389afe2f7b	db: the doubled CHECK list was six, not four (#3275) ... Run 5029 confirmed the four renames landed and surfaced two I had missed: external_link's host and status CHECKs are doubled the same way. They did not show in run 5026's diff because BOTH sides produced the doubled form back then — external_link.py pre-prefixed its names, so the models matched the chain's mistake. Switching all six models to bare names is what exposed the two the migration did not cover. The list in the file now comes from matching ck_(\w+?)_ck_\1_ against the chain's own pg_dump, rather than from reading migrations by eye. Reading by eye is what missed these, in the same way it earlier missed a UNIQUE constraint sitting two lines above the index being looked at.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	b979062dd7	db: rename the four double-prefixed CHECK constraints (#3275) ... Run 5026 got the models-vs-chain diff to 7 lines. Three findings, and one of them reverses an assumption I made in the previous commit. The doubled CHECK names are what the DATABASE has, not what the generator invented. base.py's convention is ck_%(table_name)s_%(constraint_name)s, which — unlike uq/fk/ix — applies even to a constraint that already has a name, so four migrations that passed an already-prefixed name got it prefixed twice: ck_import_settings_ck_import_settings_singleton ck_ml_settings_ck_ml_settings_singleton ck_post_ck_post_translation_override ck_tag_ck_tag_fandom_requires_character The workflow repair added last commit is still correct and still needed — autogenerate really does re-double a name on the round trip — but it was making the MODELS side clean against a chain that is dirty. The comment in ml_settings.py claiming its bare name "matches migration 0003" was simply false; 0003 produces the doubled form. Nothing reads a CHECK constraint by name, so this has never done harm. But it is precisely the development-era residue the collapsed baseline exists to leave behind, and a public schema should not ship it — so 0088 renames the deployed constraints and all six models now declare bare names. RENAME CONSTRAINT is catalog-only: no scan, no rewrite, no revalidation, which is why this is safe on post and tag. Guarded on pg_constraint scoped by conrelid, so it is a no-op on a database built from the models. ix_tag_fandom_id showed as a difference only because chain_ref was pinned to 0a5bbe8, which predates 0088 — the comparison was measuring the models against a chain missing the migration that closes the gap. chain_ref now defaults to blank, meaning "the chain in this ref". Pin it to a commit only after the collapse, when the tree no longer carries the revisions.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	573228b9da	db: finish reconciling the models with the deployed schema (#3275) ... Closes the residue the first reconciliation pass left, and corrects a factual error I put into the record. sha256 was NOT missing a uniqueness guarantee. I read `op.create_index("ix_image_record_sha256", ...)` at 0001 line 151 and concluded duplicates were possible, without reading line 149 two lines above it: sa.UniqueConstraint("sha256", name="uq_image_record_sha256"), Uniqueness has held since the initial schema. The database expresses it as a CONSTRAINT plus a separate non-unique lookup index; the model said `unique=True, index=True`, which is one UNIQUE index under a different name. Same guarantee, different objects — which is exactly why the two schemas did not line up. The model now declares both objects. No DDL. 0088's docstring, which repeated the claim, is corrected in place. Two real divergences, both the MODEL over-claiming: * source: uq_source_artist_platform_url (alembic 0010) was declared nowhere in the models — source.py had no __table_args__ at all — so autogenerate would have proposed DROPPING it. * head_metrics_snapshot.tag_id: model said NOT NULL, 0060 created it nullable. Left nullable; the FK already cascades. Seven constraints renamed to what the chain actually created, rather than what base.py's naming convention renders: uq_series_page_image, uq_series_chapter_anchor_page, fk_series_chapter_anchor_page, fk_image_record_artist_id, fk_image_provenance_from_attachment, and the two hand-shortened fk_tsr_* names from 0003. Float server_defaults now mirror their own migration, per column. The chain is MIXED: a plain string renders DEFAULT '0.90'::double precision, sa.text() renders DEFAULT 0.90, and the migrations used both. Seven columns take text(); the rest stay strings. Two literals also disagreed outright — process_{auto_apply,conflict}_threshold said 0.9/0.5 against the migration's 0.90/0.50. baseline.yml gains two things. A repair for a SECOND generator defect in the same class as the missing pgvector import: base.py's ck convention contains %(constraint_name)s, so it applies even to a NAMED CheckConstraint — autogenerate writes the already-rendered name into the migration and running it applies the convention again, yielding ck_ml_settings_ck_ml_settings_singleton. That is round-tripping damage, not a claim the models make, so it is undone rather than counted. And the diff now runs twice. Column ORDER differs permanently between a schema built by 87 ADD COLUMNs and one built in a single shot — the operator's database keeps chain order forever, a fresh install gets model order — so a check that failed on it could never pass. The second pass SORTS column lines within each CREATE TABLE instead of deleting them, which cannot hide a column present on one side only, or one whose type, nullability or default differs. Ordered diff is reported as information; the order-insensitive one is the verdict.

bvandeusen	d044e93bdb	ci: repair autogenerate's missing pgvector import before applying (#3275) ... mode: models applies the raw autogenerated candidate, and it cannot run: sa.Column('weights', pgvector.sqlalchemy.vector.VECTOR(dim=1152), ...) NameError: name 'pgvector' is not defined Alembic emits the qualified reference without emitting the import. Observed on run 4988, which turns this from a thing I predicted by reading the candidate into a thing demonstrated by executing it. Repaired in the workflow rather than counted as a schema difference: the comparison asks whether the MODELS describe the schema, and this is a defect in the generator. The same fixup has to be applied by hand to any baseline generated this way, which is why it is item 4 on the collapsed baseline's hand-written list.	2026-08-30 14:47:29 -04:00
bvandeusen	ed2b1adc2e	ci: compare the schema the MODELS produce against the migrations (#3275) ... baseline.yml only ever compared migrations against migrations. The question #3275 exists because nobody had ever asked the other one: does a database built from the MODELS match the one the chain produces? `mode: models` answers it. It applies the candidate autogenerated from the models instead of this tree's revisions, and diffs that against the chain. A clean run means --autogenerate is trustworthy again, which it demonstrably has not been: against the pre-reconciliation models it would have proposed dropping eleven indexes and two uniqueness guarantees. The two extensions are created by hand in that mode. They are database objects rather than table metadata, so no model can carry them — their absence is outside what this comparison asks about, and silently tolerating it is correct rather than a filter that hides a defect. Also declares the HNSW index on the ImageRecord model. SQLAlchemy can express an hnsw access method with an operator class (postgresql_using + postgresql_ops), so there was never a reason for it to live only in 0036. That removes the last item from the list of things a generated baseline cannot reproduce, leaving only the two extensions.	2026-08-30 14:43:26 -04:00
bvandeusen	5e1996e77f	db: reconcile the models with the deployed schema (#3275) ... Milestone 328's acceptance test compared a database built by the real 0001..0087 chain against one built from the models, and found ~130 places where they disagree. This closes them. Almost all were the MODEL being wrong, so almost all of this is model edits with no DDL — the database already had these things, nothing in it changes, and no deploy is needed for this part: * 92 columns gained server_default. The models carried Python-side `default=` only, so the ORM filled the value and the column had no database default. Anything inserting outside the ORM behaved differently from production. * Eleven indexes that existed only in migrations are now declared: the three backup_run reporting indexes, the two date-ordered image_record browse indexes, import_task and presentation_review, and the three task_run history indexes. All use text() for their DESC ordering and postgresql_where for the partial one. * Two UNIQUE indexes that autogenerate silently proposed DROPPING, because neither is expressible as a UniqueConstraint: uq_tag_name_kind_fandom — an EXPRESSION index over (name, kind, COALESCE(fandom_id, 0)) uq_post_artist_external_id_null_source — PARTIAL, WHERE source_id IS NULL post.py already had a comment describing the second one. The comment was right; nothing declared it. * The two external_link enum CHECKs (host, status) — rule 36 territory, and absent from the model entirely. * Two indexes were named explicitly. A bare index=True generated ix_tag_alias_canonical_tag_id where the database has ix_tag_alias_canonical, so autogenerate proposed a drop+create of an index that was already there under another name. Same for tag_suggestion_rejection. Only ONE thing needed DDL, as 0088: tag.fandom_id is declared index=True but no migration ever created that index. Deliberately NOT here: image_record.sha256. The model says unique=True; 0001 created a plain index. Duplicates are possible today and the ORM believes otherwise. The fix depends on whether duplicates already exist — if they do, that is a dedupe decision, not a constraint — so it waits on an answer about live data. The real severity of #3275 is not the squash. It is that --autogenerate has been unsafe on this project: run against the old models it would have proposed dropping eleven indexes and two uniqueness guarantees.	2026-08-30 14:42:30 -04:00
bvandeusen	98b56330d0	ci: emit the chain schema dump for local reconciliation work (#3275) ... Reconciling the models against the deployed schema needs the actual pg_dump, not an inference from the unified diff. Parsing table context out of diff hunks drops every table whose CREATE TABLE line falls outside a hunk — it under-reported 81 columns across 13 tables when the real figure spans more, missing artist, gpu_job, download_event and external_link entirely. Same checksummed-base64 transport as the candidate baseline, for the same reason: a plain cat of a file this size was silently truncated mid-line by the runner on run 4964.	2026-08-30 14:35:02 -04:00
bvandeusen	6959e1220c	Revert "db: collapse alembic 0001..0087 into one baseline" ... This reverts 2529b51. Not a retreat — a reordering, on the operator's call, and the better sequence. The squash's acceptance test (run 4971) found ~130 places where the ORM models do not describe the deployed schema (#3275), including a unique=True the database never had and two UNIQUE indexes that exist only in migrations. Collapsing now would have baked all of that into the one file a public installer starts from. So: fix the drift first as ordinary migrations on the intact chain, let the operator deploy so their database moves to the corrected head, and only then collapse. The baseline is then generated from reconciled models and reproduces a schema worth reproducing. Nothing is lost by reverting. The baseline was never deployed, and regenerating it after the fixes is strictly better than patching this copy — it will come out of autogenerate correct rather than needing the same hand-finishing twice.	2026-08-30 14:34:28 -04:00
bvandeusen	2529b516e6	db: collapse alembic 0001..0087 into one baseline (milestone 328 step 1) ... 87 revisions narrating this project's build-out become one file that creates the schema in a single step. They cost nothing at runtime — all 86 upgrade steps ran in 0.2s (note #3260) — so this is a presentation change, not a performance one: a new installer should not inherit our development history to stand up a database. Deleted: 87 revisions (6,052 lines), the 10 tests/test_migration_*.py files (483 lines) that asserted intermediate states and backfills which no longer exist, and backend/app/utils/artist_backfill.py — the only live module a migration imported, with no other consumer anywhere. That last one satisfies the operator's separate request to inline it into 0008 and delete the module; the squash removes both outright. THE REVISION ID IS "0087", NOT "0001", ON PURPOSE. It is the id of the last revision collapsed, so an existing database is already at head and `alembic upgrade head` does nothing. The alternative is `alembic stamp` against live data, and stamp validates NOTHING — it writes a version string whether or not the schema matches, so a wrong baseline surfaces later, via the next real migration, with no clean way back. This removes that operation rather than making it safe. Future revisions run from 0088. Four things are hand-written because SQLAlchemy metadata does not carry them, and none fail at generation time: 1. CREATE EXTENSION vector — the VECTOR columns cannot be created without it, so it is ordered first in upgrade(). 2. CREATE EXTENSION tsm_system_rows — surfaces only when the random sample query runs. 3. the HNSW index on image_record.siglip_embedding, raw SQL because create_index cannot express USING hnsw (... vector_cosine_ops). The quietest of the four: everything works, similarity search just stops using an index. 4. import pgvector.sqlalchemy.vector — autogenerate EMITS pgvector.sqlalchemy.vector.VECTOR references without importing it, so the generated file dies with NameError on first run. The candidate came out of CI (run 4967) as checksummed base64 rather than a plain cat, because run 4964's cat was truncated mid-line inside a column definition with the step still green — 29 tables instead of 42, and it looked entirely plausible. Verified here: 56,582 bytes, sha256 471acfca69c0…, 42 tables, 66 indexes, 42 drops. NOT YET PROVEN against the old chain. baseline.yml does that, and it is step 2's gate; this commit does not claim the schemas match.	2026-08-30 13:45:35 -04:00
bvandeusen	8f1ac0c96a	ci: transport the candidate baseline as verifiable base64 ... Run 4964 passed the control (1121 normalised lines, schemas identical) but its candidate print was silently truncated. `cat` of the ~33KB generated file stopped mid-line inside sa.Column('mime', sa.String(length=128) and the runner carried straight on to the next traced command with the step still green. The captured text was 484 lines and 29 tables, and looked entirely plausible — which is exactly what makes it dangerous: a schema definition cut in half is still syntactically suggestive, and nothing in the log says it was cut. Now emitted as base64 at a fixed 120-column width, followed by a sha256, a byte count and a base64 line count. Short lines instead of long ones, and more importantly the receiving end can PROVE it got the whole file rather than trusting that it did. Also found in that output, and the reason the candidate could never have been committed as-is: it references pgvector.sqlalchemy.vector.VECTOR(dim=1152) for head_training_run.weights and image_record.siglip_embedding, but autogenerate does not add the corresponding import. The file would die with NameError on the first run. That is the fourth item on the list of things the generator cannot be trusted with, alongside the two CREATE EXTENSIONs and the HNSW index.	2026-08-30 13:40:15 -04:00
bvandeusen	5fd171a544	ci: fix two things the baseline control run found ... Run 4960 was the control — the chain compared against itself, which must come back clean before a clean diff after the squash means anything. It did its job and failed on both counts. 1. The harness is sound. Both dumps came back 1123 normalised lines and differed on EXACTLY two, the \restrict / \unrestrict pair that newer pg_dump emits to fence a dump against injection during restore. It is a fresh random nonce per invocation, so it differs by construction and is noise by definition. Now filtered — and the control is what licenses that filter: it was OBSERVED to be the only false positive rather than assumed to be one, which matters for a check whose whole value is that its normalisation does not hide a real difference. 2. The candidate-baseline step never ran. `if: github.event.inputs .generate == 'true'` on a `type: boolean` input silently evaluated false — no diagnostic, step skipped, job carried on. The same `github.event.inputs` typing quirk build.yml already works around for force_build. Rather than fight the input typing, the gate is now the tree itself: skip if alembic/versions holds one file. That is the real question anyway — there is nothing to generate once the chain is collapsed — and it cannot be silently wrong the way an unevaluated expression can. Worth noting what the control also proved incidentally: the two schemas were byte-identical across 1123 lines despite being built by separate alembic runs into separate databases, so pg_dump's object ordering is stable enough to diff directly and no sort normalisation is needed.	2026-08-30 13:35:26 -04:00
bvandeusen	62583791d8	ci: a workflow that proves a collapsed alembic chain matches the old one ... Milestone 328 step 1 needs a baseline generated from the models, and step 2 must not stamp the operator's live database until that baseline is proven to reproduce what the 87-revision chain produced. `alembic stamp` validates nothing, so an unproven baseline fails silently now and loudly later, on real data. There is no local Python environment and rules 10/12 point away from standing one up, so the comparison runs in CI, where a pgvector Postgres is already built from the chain on every integration run and nothing is at risk. It builds two databases and diffs their pg_dump --schema-only output: one from `alembic upgrade head` on the revisions read out of git at `chain_ref`, one from the current tree. Reading the chain from git via a worktree — rather than from the working tree — is what keeps this usable AFTER the old revisions are deleted, so it is the proof for step 1 and the pre-flight for step 2 rather than a one-shot script. Both sides use `alembic upgrade head`, never metadata.create_all, per rule 82 — and that rule's reasoning is exactly the hazard here. `create_all` emits plain CREATE TABLE and skips everything else, which is why the optional autogenerated candidate CANNOT be trusted as the answer. Three things in this schema are invisible to SQLAlchemy metadata: CREATE EXTENSION vector (0001) CREATE EXTENSION tsm_system_rows (0004) the HNSW index on image_record.siglip_embedding, raw SQL because alembic's create_index cannot express USING hnsw (...) (0036) plus any CHECK constraint or server_default a migration added without the model declaring it — 4 model files declare CheckConstraints against 6 migrations that touch them. The candidate is a starting point to hand finish; the diff is what proves nothing was missed. Results are printed to the job log rather than uploaded: ci-requirements records that this runner cannot do actions/upload-artifact@v4+, and the repo dropped the action entirely in 2026-05. Run it first with the chain still present, as a control — the diff compares the chain against itself and must come back clean. A clean diff after the squash only means something if the harness was shown to be capable of producing one beforehand. Temporary. Delete once the baseline is stamped.	2026-08-30 13:31:16 -04:00
bvandeusen	0a5bbe81dc	docs: the scheduled refresh does NOT republish nothing (#3265) ... Step 4 asserted that when the base has not moved the refresh is "a ~13s no-op that republishes nothing", and that this no-op was the point. The first half is false and was written without being tested. Run 4934, the first real fire: every content step reported CACHED and both bases resolved to unchanged pinned digests, yet all three :latest tags took a new manifest digest anyway. fabledcurator 4ea5265ba017 -> 380e504de0fa fabledcurator-ml 6e7cfc0c09fd -> 6b2eefc301d8 fabledcurator-agent 44920e0af1f3 -> 54accbeb52ed buildkit mints a fresh image config per run, so identical layers get republished under a new config blob. Storage cost is trivial; the cost that matters is that a :latest digest change stops meaning "something is different", and :c-<sha> is handed a new manifest to diverge from every Sunday for no reason. Corrects the workflow comment (x3) and ci-requirements.md to say what actually happens. Filed as #3265 with the candidate fixes; the likely one is a deterministic SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH off the value artifacts.sh already derives, which would make "same source, same version" into "same source, same bytes". The rest of step 4 verified clean on the same run: the guard passed (HEAD is main (499720d), `git checkout -B main`) — so this runner DOES evaluate the env context inside `with:` — the tag list was :latest alone with no :c-<sha>, and the repoint step correctly found nothing to write.	2026-08-30 12:57:06 -04:00
bvandeusen	6663e06aa6	ci: assert the scheduled refresh actually checked out main ... BUILD_REF is read through the `env` context inside `with:`, which this runner is not known to evaluate. `${{ steps.* }}` and `${{ secrets.* }}` in `with:`/`env:` are proven here; `env` is not, and run 4915's checkout log (`git checkout -B dev refs/remotes/origin/dev`) cannot tell an honoured `refs/heads/dev` from an empty value falling back to the same place — the two are indistinguishable on every path except the one that matters. If it does resolve empty, the weekly refresh checks out dev and pushes its source to :latest, which is production. Every lane stays green and the first symptom is production running code that was never merged. So each of the four jobs now asserts its own checkout before doing anything, gated on `github.event_name` — the `github` context is demonstrably evaluated in `if:`, so the guard cannot be disabled by the same uncertainty it covers. A red weekly job is an acceptable outcome; shipping dev to production is not.	2026-08-29 22:57:41 -04:00
bvandeusen	63e0a423d7	ci: a weekly base-image refresh on the channel tags (milestone 326 step 4) ... Skip-if-exists is keyed on our own source, so an artifact whose source stops moving stops picking up base-image updates. `agent/` last changed 2026-07-17; every push since has correctly declined to rebuild it, which also means it will serve that day's nvidia/cuda layers indefinitely. A `schedule:` trigger, Sunday 06:00 UTC, away from CI-runner's Monday security sweep so the two are never diagnosing each other. #3154's blocking open question is dissolved rather than answered. It was written when the identity was a `r-<revision>` TAG, and asked how the next ordinary push could avoid repointing :latest back off the refresh. Milestone 318 replaced that tag with a LABEL, and #3183 made the repoint step exclude its source tag so the label stays readable. Excluding the source is what also keeps a refresh from being undone: on the next main push the reuse check hits, :latest is not rewritten, and the new :c-<sha> is written FROM the refreshed :latest. To be verified by digest, not by this argument. Four decisions, each commented where it lives: * It builds `main`, not the branch that triggered it. Forgejo registers a cron from the default branch — `dev` here — so a scheduled run arrives with github.ref on dev, and a refresh of :dev would be refreshing the one channel that is rebuilt constantly anyway. The ref is decided once in a top-level `env: BUILD_REF` that all four checkouts take. Deriving it per job would let the halves disagree: sign-extension would derive dev's extension version while build-web bundled main's, and the release download would 404 on a version that exists perfectly well. * It publishes only the channel tag. :c-<sha> for main's HEAD already names the bytes that commit built; re-pushing it over refreshed layers would break the one tag rule 145 makes immutable, and it is the rollback unit — so the breakage would surface on the day somebody needed it. The repoint step needs no schedule case: the tag list is the channel tag alone, SOURCE is the only entry, it is excluded as always, and the step correctly does nothing. * It bypasses reuse by construction, since it rebuilds the same source and fc.revision always matches. Checked in the reuse step beside force_build, so one decision still drives both the build and the repoint. * `pull: true`, on the scheduled path only, is the actual mechanism. A moved base tag changes the FROM layer's cache key and everything above it rebuilds; an unmoved one is satisfied by the registry cache and the refresh is a ~13s no-op that republishes nothing. That no-op is the point — :latest should change when there is something new in it, not every Sunday. The known lag, left deliberately: an apt package update while the base tag stands still is not caught, and closing it needs no-cache: true, which buys weekly churn for it.	2026-08-29 22:53:48 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	5e72076298	ci: registry-backed layer cache for all three images (milestone 326 step 2) ... `cache-from`/`cache-to` on `<image>:buildcache`, `mode=max`, on all three build steps. Closes the half of the driver change that step 1 left open. Step 1 measured worse, not better, and that was expected but is worth stating with numbers. Run 4896, first builds after moving to `docker-container`: build-web 3m44s (cold baseline 2m23s) build-ml 3m49s (cold baseline 3m20s) build-agent 11m12s (cold baseline 9m26s) The container driver gets a FRESH buildkit instance per job, so it has no local layer store to fall back on — where the old docker driver at least reused whatever the runner's dockerd happened to hold. That is why a registry cache is the only cache this driver can have, and why step 1 on its own is a regression rather than a win. `mode=max` so intermediate stages cache too. The agent's two ~150s pip layers and web's frontend-builder stage are the entire cost, and a min-mode cache would drop exactly those. A `:buildcache` tag is not the withdrawn tag scheme returning. Rule 145 narrowed against names NOTHING reads; this one is read by every build that runs, is one moving ref per image rather than one per build, holds cache blobs rather than a shippable artifact, and is overwritten in place rather than accumulating. Closer to `:dev` than to the `:2026.8.28` tags 318 deleted — and said so in the workflow, so it is not "cleaned up" by a later reader. Expect the next build to be slower again, once: it is still cold AND now pays the cache export. The measurement that matters is the one after that. Scribe #3114.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	e21c9fdd34	ci: a force_build escape hatch for the path skip-if-exists hides (326 step 3) ... `workflow_dispatch` with a `force_build` boolean, honoured inside each of the three reuse steps. It exists because skip-if-exists made its own build path untestable. `agent/` has not changed since 2026-07-17, so the agent build has correctly declined to run on every push since — which also means #3190, whose whole symptom lives on that path, cannot be reproduced on demand. Editing build.yml does not force a build either, and that is deliberate: the workflow is not shipped bytes, so it is in no artifact's path set, and putting it in one would re-version every artifact for a comment change. That is also why this lands before step 2 rather than after. Step 1 moved the builds onto a container driver and turned attestations off; the claim that `fc.revision` still reads back cannot be checked until something actually builds under that driver. Run 4887 confirmed only the cheaper half — `Set up buildx` succeeded on all three jobs, so the buildkit sibling container does start against the mounted socket. Details worth keeping: * FORCE is checked in the reuse step, not in the build step's `if:`. The repoint step keys off `hit` too, and a force that bypassed only the build would leave the two disagreeing about what had happened. * `github.event.inputs`, not the `inputs` context — release.yml already uses that form and it is the one this runner is known to evaluate. Read through env rather than interpolated into the run block, same as release.yml's TAG. * One input, not one per artifact. Three booleans is an interface nobody remembers. Scribe #3252, #3249.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	6b3ec98fa8	ci: build on a real buildx driver, attestations off (milestone 326 step 1) ... Adds `docker/setup-buildx-action@v3` to build-web, build-ml and build-agent, and sets `provenance: false` / `sbom: false` on all three build-push steps. Two open issues share one root, which is why this is one change: * #3114 — the agent rebuilds a ~6.3 GB CUDA + torch image whenever the runner's local cache is cold, 9m26s against 7s warm. The default `docker` driver cannot export a registry cache at all, so the fix is unavailable until the driver moves. The cache itself is step 2, deliberately not here. * #3190 — build-agent goes red AFTER a successful push, `No such image` from the local daemon. The leading candidate is the docker driver resolving image metadata against a local store a registry-direct push never filled. The attestation flags are the load-bearing part. On the default driver they were no-ops; on the container driver, build-push-action@v5 defaults provenance to TRUE when pushing. Provenance attaches an attestation manifest, that makes the pushed tag a manifest INDEX, and `.Image.Config.Labels` does not resolve through an index — so the `fc.revision` label the reuse check reads off the channel tag would come back `<none>` on every push. Every image would rebuild forever, every lane would stay green, and the only symptom would be the bill. Same failure as #3183, through a different door; note #3127 §4 records the same shape for `platforms:`. Unverified until CI says otherwise: these jobs run INSIDE a container against a mounted docker socket, so the buildkit container is a sibling of the job container rather than a child. That works over a socket mount and has never been tried on this runner. The gate is the SECOND dev push, not this one. The images currently published were built by the old driver, so one `reuse: NOTE ... no readable fc.revision` is expected now; what must not appear is a second one. Scribe #3249.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	1a941e900b	test: encode the extension's AMO rendering exception (milestone 318 step 8) ... Missed in 2e01242. This module pinned zero-padded `YYYY.MM.DD.HHMM` for all four artifacts, which is the family shape and was right until the extension acquired a documented reason not to use it. Both assertions failed exactly as written, on the value they were written to catch. Rather than exempt the extension, the exception is pinned to the constraint that justifies it: * `test_version_is_zero_padded_calver` now covers the three padded artifacts. * A new sibling covers the unpadded one against **AMO's own grammar** — `2026.08.29.0201` fails it, so a regression to padding fires immediately. Matching only `YYYY.M.D.HHMM` would not: on a date with no leading zeros the two renderings are the same string, so a padding regression would sit unseen until the first single-digit month, and surface as a burned AMO version rather than a red lane. * `test_version_and_revision_describe_the_same_commit` compares NUMBERS, per rule 148's own definition of comparison — so one assertion covers both renderings and says the real thing: whatever the padding, the extension must denote exactly the value its own commit stamps. Exact-string equality is still asserted for everything not in AMO_UNPADDED, so the exception cannot quietly spread. Scribe #3138.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	2e01242381	feat(extension): derive the version as unpadded CalVer (milestone 318 step 8) ... `1.0.<minutes since 2020>` -> `YYYY.M.D.HHMM` UTC, from the commit time of the newest change to a packaged extension file. Same clock and same commit as before; readable instead of opaque, and the same value the rest of the family derives. The hold on this step was two questions about AMO, and Mozilla's own docs answer both: ^(0|[1-9][0-9]{0,8})([.](0|[1-9][0-9]{0,8})){0,3}$ 1. four all-numeric segments -> ACCEPTED ({0,3} more after the first). 2. leading zeros -> REJECTED. A segment is the single digit `0` or starts 1-9, so `08` and `0201` are refused. MDN says it in prose too: "Non-zero numbers must not include a leading zero." So the documented fallback applies, extension only: the same numbers rendered without the family's zero-padding. `2026.08.29.0201` and `2026.8.29.201` are one value in two renderings — rule 148 defines comparison as numeric per segment, under which they are equal — so nothing already published is reordered, and left-padding each segment recovers the family string exactly. HHMM stays one segment because AMO allows at most four. The transition is safe in the other direction too: 2026 > 1, so every CalVer outranks every published 1.0.x. build.yml's downgrade guard confirms it. Also in scope: * MAJOR.MINOR is gone. `cmd_major_minor`, `cmd_patch` and VERSION_EPOCH go with it, the committed version in manifest.json / package.json is now wholly inert, and ci.yml's MAJOR.MINOR-agreement check is retired rather than left running beside a fact that stopped existing (rule 22). * ci.yml's `extension-version` lane now asserts Mozilla's regex verbatim instead of a loose `^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)*$` — which would have passed the padded shape. It also asserts YYYY.M.D.HHMM, because AMO would accept a regression to `1.0.<minutes>` while that orders below everything signed since. Checking here is the point: AMO 409s on re-signing, so a version it rejects is burned and cannot be reused. * `artifacts.sh version extension` delegates to packaging.sh, so the two cannot answer differently. The direction matches the existing one — artifacts.sh already asks packaging.sh for the extension's path set. #3156 is what makes this commit safe to make: packaging.sh is in web's path set, so the web revision moves with the extension version and build-web rebuilds instead of republishing an image bundling the previous XPI.

bvandeusen	41f2bec3af	fix(ci): the build pushes one tag; the rest are written registry-side (#3190) ... buildx on this runner pushes the first tag to the registry and then re-pushes the remaining ones through the DOCKER driver, reading them out of a local image store that a registry-direct build never populated: #27 pushing …/fabledcurator:latest DONE 15.8s #28 pushing …/fabledcurator:c-0e15c44 with docker #28 ERROR: tag does not exist: …:c-0e15c44 It is intermittent — build-ml made the identical two-tag push seconds later in the same run and succeeded — and the consequence is worse than the red job suggests. `:latest` had already published, so production was correct while the immutable rollback tag rule 145 requires of every main push simply did not exist. Nothing else would ever have noticed: a missing :c-<sha> has no consumer that fails, so it surfaces at the moment somebody needs to roll back, which is the worst time to learn a rollback target was never written. So the build now pushes exactly one ref — the channel's — and the existing repoint step, which already excluded the source tag and already ran on every reuse, now runs on the build path too and owns every other tag. `imagetools create` is a registry-side manifest copy: no local daemon, nothing that can be absent. This adds no new code path; it puts the build case onto the one that was already proven. Chosen over the alternative of asserting each tag resolves after the build, which would have made the failure loud without making it rarer. The cost, accepted: `imagetools create` wraps its source in an index, so :c-<sha> is an index rather than a plain image and fc.revision does not resolve through it. Nothing reads that label off :c-<sha> — the reuse check only ever inspects the CHANNEL tag — and the index names the same manifest, so a pull is byte-identical. The reuse path already produced :c-<sha> this way; this only makes it uniform. `build_tags` goes with it — the tag list now has exactly one consumer.	2026-08-29 00:38:26 -04:00
bvandeusen	d38585ed94	docs: true up the tag scheme against what the pipeline publishes (318 step 9) ... A doc describing a tag scheme the pipeline stopped using is worse than no doc — it is a confident wrong answer, and #3159 named it as the drift that had just bitten rule 148. build.yml (each edit ×3, once per build job): * The derived-values block claimed three values including a `tag` subcommand that no longer exists, and said "on dev the date tag is computed nowhere else". There are two values and no date tag. * The BASE-IMAGE FRESHNESS paragraph argued from a pin that no longer exists — "a date tag has to keep serving the bytes it served (fabledcurator:2026.7.17 still resolves to July's image)". Milestone 318 removed the argument's premise rather than answering it: with no version tags there is no immutable name a refresh could contradict, and rule 145 already allows a moving tag to be republished. Deleted the argument, kept a line saying why there is nothing to argue about (#3159's phrasing: the workflow becomes obviously correct instead of carefully correct). * The repoint comment said ":c-<sha> and the date pin". There is no date pin. * "its set is too narrow — the direction that serves stale bytes on a pin" now names the failure that actually exists: the reuse check hits and the channel serves a web image bundling the previous XPI (#3156). README gains a "Versions and tags" section — the three tags, why there is no fourth, and the fact that with no registry name carrying it, the instance's own report is the only answer to "which build is this?". Also fixes two stale claims: three workflows (four since release.yml) and "AMO signing runs on main only", which has been false since milestone 271 step 6 signed on both channels. ci-requirements.md was missing milestones 313 and 318 entirely: no artifacts.sh, no label-keyed reuse, no FC_VERSION. Added those, plus the #3156/#3202 membership test (can changing this file change the published bytes — not is it copied in), and corrected packaging.sh's "two consumers" to three now that artifacts.sh reads it. docker-compose.yml needed nothing — it names `:dev` directly and never offered a pin target. Note #3127 and rule 145's relation notes are updated in Scribe.	2026-08-29 00:09:52 -04:00
bvandeusen	a3071a7549	fix(ci): the file that decides FC_VERSION now moves it (#3202) ... `scripts/artifacts.sh` decides both values the web image carries — the `fc.revision` label the reuse check compares and the `FC_VERSION` baked into the image — and was in no artifact's path set. So a change to `cmd_version` alone left every revision untouched, the reuse check hit, the build was skipped, and the published image went on reporting the OLD version format, indefinitely, until some unrelated commit forced a rebuild. Nothing goes red; the footer just shows a well-formed string of the wrong shape. Milestone 318 step 5 is the worked instance: b3989d0 -> rev=fb2c4d5b80be ver=2026.8.28.1249 5771fd5 -> rev=fb2c4d5b80be ver=2026.08.28.1249 bce894b -> rev=bce894ba2499 ver=2026.08.28.2208 Same revision across the zero-pad commit, so web's build was skipped. It cost nothing only by timing: FC_VERSION did not exist until step 6 landed one commit later. Web only, and that is the interesting part. Every artifact stamps a revision, but only web also stamps a version. A revision-only artifact needs no entry here, because changing how a revision is COMPUTED changes the derived value, which then disagrees with the label on the published image and forces a rebuild — the mechanism self-corrects, since it compares against a string stamped into a real artifact. Nothing compares a version to anything. That asymmetry is why this was invisible and is now written down in both files. Named as a file rather than `scripts`: release_notes.py sits beside it and only reads derived values, so it decides nothing and must not re-version web. This is #3156 one level up — packaging.sh excluded from the version it derives — so the guard is generalised rather than duplicated: one DERIVERS table naming each deriver and the artifacts whose identity it decides. The too-wide test gains a note saying where the line is, since "copied into no image" no longer settles it on its own.	2026-08-28 22:01:58 -04:00
bvandeusen	b6b9fd8287	ci: a release publishes a changelog, not an image (318 step 7) ... Step 2 took the build consequence away from a `v*` tag — `main` has already built and published the commit by the time anyone tags it, and rebuilding would re-push `:c-<sha>`, which rule 145 forbids even when the source matches. That left the tag with nothing to do at all. This is the job it has instead. Step 6 put the derived version in the Settings footer, so an operator can say WHICH build they are running; this says what is in it that was not in the one they ran last month. Both halves of one question (note #3127 §5). The previous release is found by walking ANCESTRY, not by sorting a list. That is load-bearing here specifically: rule 148 moved the tag shape from `v26.05.22.0` to `v2026.08.28.2208`, and lexicographically `v2026...` sorts BEFORE `v26...` — the third character is `0` against `6`. A sorted implementation would reach back past every new-shape tag to the newest old-shape one and publish months of commits as "changes since", looking entirely correct while doing it. `git describe --exclude` is immune to the shape change, and reachability is the more honest question anyway. The publisher GETs and PATCHes rather than POSTing and recovering the id from a 409 — note #3127 §6.7, which is ThoughtSync #2182's bug. A `v*` tag is created once so the conflict path is rare, but "rare" is how that one survived to be found somewhere else. Cross-checks are reported on the release, not enforced. The tag is already pushed by the time this runs, so failing would leave the operator with a tag, no release, and a red lane to explain it — while the release is still the useful object. It says so at the top when the tag names a version the web image does not report, or when the commit is not on `main` and the `:c-` rollback refs it lists were never published. Nothing runs on a schedule and nothing auto-tags on merge. Release tags are bookmarks (note #3127 §0); FC went twelve weeks without one and nothing was wrong. Also here: - `scripts/` joins the ruff lane. release_notes.py runs only on a tag push, so a syntax error there would otherwise surface at the one moment nobody wants to be debugging a workflow. - version.spec.js reads the workflow directory instead of listing three files by hand. Its own comment says the assertion should survive consumers coming and going; the hardcoded list was the part that could not, and release.yml would have joined the directory without joining the check. Tests build a synthetic history spanning the tag-shape change rather than leaning on this repo's tags, so the span assertion holds whether or not a checkout brought the tags along — a span test that quietly skips is worse than one that fails.	2026-08-28 20:57:25 -04:00
bvandeusen	bce894ba24	feat(settings): the instance reports which build it is (318 step 6) ... A dim line at the foot of Settings: `FabledCurator 2026.08.28.1249 · dev`. This is no longer a convenience. Milestone 318 stopped publishing version image tags, so an instance's own report is the ONLY answer to "which build is this?" — there is no registry name left to check it against. Note #3127 §5 says it directly: a wrong answer here has no second source to contradict it. Three states, kept distinct because collapsing any two of them lies: not asked yet render nothing asked, no version render "unknown" asked, has a version render it A blank footer reads as "no version", which is a different claim from "I cannot say". And a failed health call deliberately does NOT mark the build loaded — a network blip says nothing about the image, and presenting it as "unknown" would look like a defective build. Carried on /api/health rather than a new route: it answers at the same cost (two module constants, no I/O) and TopNav already fetches it app-wide, so a separate endpoint would mean a second request for two strings. Both fields are OMITTED when unset rather than sent empty. Absence already means "cannot say" — an image predating the field says exactly that by not having the key — so a second spelling would make every reader special-case it. The pre-existing test asserting the body is EXACTLY {"status": "ok"} is what keeps a well-meaning `or ""` default from creeping in. FC_CHANNEL now has one definition. It was read from the environment in extension.py and would have been read again here; the new build_info module holds both, and extension.py binds it as a module-level name so existing tests monkeypatch it exactly as before. Separate from config.py on purpose: those are operator settings meant to be changed, these describe the artifact. Channel sits beside the version, never inside it (rule 149), asserted from both ends. A `-dev` suffix would read as a 0 segment to the extension's parseInt comparator and make every dev build compare equal — #2993 exactly. Not hidden, per the operator and §7: the JS bundle and asset hashes fingerprint the build anyway, and "I'm on 2026.08.28.1249" is the single most useful line in a bug report.	2026-08-28 18:08:31 -04:00
bvandeusen	5771fd5770	build: zero-pad the derived version to YYYY.MM.DD.HHMM (318 step 5) ... `2026.8.28.1249` becomes `2026.08.28.1249`. Note #3127 §1 and rule 148 both specify the padded form. The old reasoning was that each segment should read as a plain integer, and it never held — comparison strips leading zeros on parse anyway, which the same paragraph said. What stripping actually bought was this project emitting `2026.8.28.1432` while a sibling emitted `2026.08.28.1432`: two shapes one character apart, which is the hard kind of difference to notice. Two obviously different formats would be safer than two nearly identical ones, and identical is safer still. Nothing already published is reordered: comparison is numeric per dot-segment, so `08` and `8` are equal. strip0 goes, and with it three of the four git calls per version — git's format-local takes the whole format string, and splitting it into pieces only ever existed to strip the padding between them. It also fixes a real edge the old helper mangled. A commit at 03:22 UTC derived `322` for its HHMM field, silently turning a four-digit field into three; it now derives `0322`. Verified against a real commit rather than reasoned about. Checked before relying on it, since step 8 feeds this to Firefox: the extension's comparator is `parseInt(n, 10)` with an explicit radix, so `08` reads as 8 and there is no octal hazard (rule 150). Two tests added. One pins the padded shape — the only thing keeping the family's projects emitting one string is an assertion that they do. The other asserts version and revision describe the same commit: they are derived independently, and a divergence would mean an instance naming one commit while carrying another's bytes, which is unfalsifiable from outside because both values still look well-formed.	2026-08-28 16:35:26 -04:00
bvandeusen	b3989d0224	fix(ci): the repoint was destroying the label it depends on ... Reuse worked exactly once per artifact, then every later push rebuilt at full price. Nothing failed and nothing went red — the savings simply evaporated. `imagetools create` wraps its source manifest in an INDEX. The repoint step passed the channel tag as both source and target, so after any reuse :dev stopped being a plain image, `.Image.Config.Labels` no longer resolved through it, and fc.revision read as absent on the next push. Observed across three runs rather than reasoned about: run 4749 read fc.revision=a7e626a67a79 off fabledcurator-ml:dev and skipped the build; run 4751 read <none> off the same tag and rebuilt. The only thing to touch it in between was 4749's own repoint. The agent hit in 4751 precisely because its :dev had last been written by a real build, not by a repoint — which is the control case. Milestone 313's r-<rev> design was immune without anyone noticing why: the source (the identity tag) was never one of the targets. Step 3 made the channel tag both, and inherited a bug the earlier shape had avoided by accident. Fix: exclude the source from the target list, so the channel tag is only ever written by a real build and stays a plain readable image. On dev that leaves nothing to do, which is correct — the hit already established that :dev points at the right content. On main it leaves :c-<sha>, which rule 145 requires of every main push whether or not a build ran. Also added a note the reuse step prints when a channel tag exists but carries no readable label. That is expected exactly once per artifact during the migration; if it appears on every push, the tag is being index-wrapped again and reuse is dead. This class of failure — correct behaviour, quietly worth less than it reads — is the third one this milestone has turned up, and it is the one that does not announce itself.	2026-08-28 14:55:49 -04:00
bvandeusen	cd0b0ff04a	ci: publish :latest + :c-<sha> on main, :dev on dev — nothing else (318 step 4) ... The narrowing itself. Rule 145, narrowed 2026-08-28 once it was verified that nothing pins: "a third name for the same thing is upkeep for a model we do not run." Gone: :2026.8.28 the per-artifact date tag from milestone 313 step 3. It shipped, it was verified on both branches, and its premise is gone. This is a withdrawal, not a correction — nothing about it was wrong. :main a second moving name for whatever :latest already pointed at, justified by nothing but symmetry with :dev. Kept, and note the inversion: :c-<sha> on main. Milestone 313 step 6 planned to retire it on "haven't used, not important" — amended rule 145 makes it the rollback unit and, with version tags gone, the only immutable identifier left. #3139 is cancelled as superseded rather than quietly dropped. No retention job is built. One already runs (#3157): a nightly Gitea package_cleanup_rule with keep_count=10. Two consequences worth writing down. Its keep_pattern protects any dotted-numeric tag, so the date tags this commit stops minting would have been exempt from retention and accumulated without bound — silently, in the direction of unbounded growth. That trap is now dissolved rather than needing the pattern change #3139 planned. And :c-<sha> IS prunable under that pattern, so the honest statement is that it is the rollback unit for roughly the last 10 builds, not for every main commit ever. cmd_tag goes with its last consumer rather than being left as a dead subcommand for a later step to notice. The report step logs version and revision, which is the same information — the date is the first three fields of the version. Docs needed no change: every consumer already tracks a moving tag (docker-compose.yml on :dev, agent/README.md on :latest), which is the evidence the whole stance rests on.	2026-08-28 14:45:11 -04:00
bvandeusen	454eb3f973	fix(tests): artifact identity tests talk to artifacts.sh, not to a sibling ... Run 4746 failed lint and pytest on the same cause: `from test_artifact_paths import ROOT, declared_paths`. No other test module in this repo imports another, so that was a new convention introduced for no gain — and the wrong one, since `tests/` is a package and the bare name does not resolve. Everything now goes through `artifacts.sh`, which is the interface build.yml actually calls. The tests exercise the contract rather than a Python re-implementation of it, and the duplicate `declared_paths` helper is gone rather than copied. Two real defects found while fixing it: The newest commit is now computed by committer TIME, matching what artifacts.sh means. It was `git log -1`, whose default order is reverse-chronological only within topological constraints — so on a merged history it can name a different commit than the newest timestamp does. Both agree on this repo today (verified across all four artifacts), which is exactly what makes it a flake waiting for the branch shape that separates them. The third test asserted the same invariant as the first in different words. Removed rather than left as apparent coverage.	2026-08-28 14:42:42 -04:00
bvandeusen	7e065fed70	ci: key the reuse check on an image label, not a tag (318 step 3) ... The shadow (dee93fa, run 4732) answered the gate: `imagetools inspect --format` reads `.Image.Config.Labels` against this registry on buildx v0.36.1. So the reuse check now asks the moving channel tag whether the image it already points at carries this commit's `fc.revision`, and the r-<rev> identity tags stop being published. Three things this removes rather than manages: A name minted per build that one thing read. Rule 145's narrowing is aimed exactly there — "a third name for the same thing is upkeep for a model we do not run." The -main/-dev qualifier, and the CHANNELLED list behind it. Which tag you inspect IS the channel, so the distinction has nowhere to live. cmd_identity goes with it. A silent expiry nobody wrote down. r-<rev> matches no branch of the registry's keep_pattern (#3157), so identity tags were prunable past the newest 10 — a pruned one costs a rebuild, in the safe direction and entirely invisibly. A label rides inside a tag that has to exist anyway. It also dissolves #3154 instead of deferring it: a scheduled base refresh rebuilds :latest with the same revision label, the next unrelated push sees a match and skips, and the refreshed base survives. Under the tag scheme that push repointed :latest back to the older base. The measured detail that shapes the code: a missing label returns an EMPTY STRING and exits 0. Branching on the exit code would read "no label yet" as success and skip a build that was needed. So it compares values, and every uncertain case — absent label, unreachable tag, older image — lands as empty, never equals a 12-char revision, and falls through to a build. Reading the specific key matters too. The map carries the base image's labels, and org.opencontainers.image.version sits right beside ours reading 24.04 on the agent — a plausible-looking wrong answer. Expect every artifact to rebuild once on this push: nothing carries a label yet and it cannot be backfilled, since the reuse path copies a manifest and config labels are not manifest annotations. One rebuild per artifact, ever, self-healing after. test_artifact_identity.py is rewritten around what is now load-bearing. The CHANNELLED drift test had nothing left to guard; in its place the revision is asked of git directly, so the file fails if the derivation ever stops being "the commit this artifact's own shipped files last changed in".	2026-08-28 14:37:36 -04:00
bvandeusen	dee93faa37	ci: shadow the label-based reuse key before trusting it (318 step 3) ... Additive and inert. Every build now stamps `fc.revision` as an image label, and a diagnostic step tries to read it back off the channel tag. Nothing downstream reads either yet — the reuse check still keys on the r-<rev> tag. The question step 3 has to answer before committing: can the reuse check be keyed on a LABEL read off the channel tag instead of on a separate tag? If it can, nothing is minted per build, the -main/-dev identity split disappears with CHANNELLED, and #3154's base-refresh clobber stops existing rather than needing a workaround. It also closes a defect found in what already shipped: r-<rev> tags do not match the registry's keep_pattern (#3157), so they are prunable, and a pruned identity tag silently costs a rebuild. A label cannot be pruned — it rides inside a tag that must exist. Three probes rather than one, because `--format` templating over .Image varies by buildx version and one round trip per guess is a poor trade. Two questions, answered at different times, and conflating them would abandon a working design: 1. Do the template mechanics work here? Answered on the first run — if the probes print a labels map, even an empty one, `--format` resolves on this buildx and this registry. That is the real gate. 2. Does a value round-trip? Only once an artifact genuinely rebuilds. This push touches build.yml, which is in no path set, so all three artifacts reuse and stamp nothing. Expect no values this run. That second point is the migration path rather than a defect: under the real mechanism "no label" reads as a MISS, so each artifact rebuilds once and is stamped from then on — one extra build per artifact, ever, in the safe direction. `imagetools create` cannot backfill it, since it copies a manifest and config labels are not manifest annotations.	2026-08-28 14:00:09 -04:00
