trusted release rehearsals on persistent Linux runners
在持久化 Linux 运行器上执行受信任的发布演练
Dependency-layout and release-pack rehearsals consume hosted Linux minutes without requiring npm or API credentials. Moving arbitrary pull-request code or credentialed publication onto a persistent shared host would weaken isolation; reusing a checkout without cleaning would also weaken the packed-payload proof.

Problem
Dependency-layout and release-pack rehearsals consume hosted Linux minutes without requiring npm or API credentials. Moving arbitrary pull-request code or credentialed publication onto a persistent shared host would weaken isolation; reusing a checkout without cleaning would also weaken the packed-payload proof.
Decision
The two jobs in release.yml and the pack job in release-vendor.yml select the existing self-hosted Linux pool only with the writer-controlled DSH_CI_FAILOVER_LINUX repository variable set to selfhosted. The selector requires the canonical repository and a non-Dependabot actor, then admits only master pushes or same-repository, non-fork PRs whose author is not Dependabot. Manual dispatch always selects ubuntu-24.04, as do all other rejected contexts. The failover runbook owns the platform switches and standby operation. Release rehearsals intentionally share the Linux switch with main CI: enabling or disabling it routes both workloads, not releases independently. Unset remains the hosted default; hosted-minute savings occur only while an operator selects selfhosted, whether for an outage or a longer-running cost choice.
The runner labels are [self-hosted, linux, x64, vm-backup]. Runner registrations share one VM, not independent machine capacity. Each job uses its runner-private temporary volume for Node compile cache and node-gyp headers before pnpm setup, and a pnpm setup destination qualified by run, attempt, and job. TMPDIR also points to runner.temp, so temporary npm consumers stay outside the checkout but inside runner cleanup even when a killed process cannot execute finally. The persistent pnpm store stays outside checkout cleanup; only GitHub-hosted runners restore the remote store cache. Neither rehearsal workflow saves remote caches.
Checkout explicitly cleans ignored and untracked output before immutable installation and the existing builds. Full tag history, pack concurrency, dependency checks, tarball verification, and artifact retention remain unchanged. The packed-install verifier creates a fresh consumer outside the checkout, installs tarballs with npm, removes inherited Node resolution hooks, and deletes the consumer in finally; a warm pnpm store cannot substitute workspace links or stale build output for a tarball payload. The npm release decision still owns release families and publication. Both manual publish workflows remain entirely hosted and gain no credentials or registry changes here.
Alternatives considered
Always-hosted rehearsals avoid persistent-host risk but retain all hosted minutes. Always-self-hosted rehearsals remove the portable fallback. A scheduling job or reusable workflow adds another logical job and hides the three short setup sequences. Allowing manual dispatch on arbitrary refs gives a maintainer action broader persistent-host access than the explicit event trust rule.
Consequences
Unsetting the variable or changing it away from selfhosted routes subsequent eligible jobs to hosted Ubuntu. This is an operator-selected fallback, not automatic runner-health detection or failover for already queued jobs. The shared VM can still contend with other trusted jobs, and repository writers remain responsible for code admitted to its persistent trust domain. No workflow provisions host packages or changes global host configuration.
scripts/tests/ci-release-selfhosted.spec.ts evaluates the committed selectors with trusted events and negative controls for forks, Dependabot, other repositories, non-master pushes, dispatches, missing PR data, and disabled switches. It pins setup ordering, checkout cleanup, hosted-only remote cache access, publication isolation, and the retained commands. Real release-build and packed-install execution remains the PR CI verification owner; selector tests do not claim to reproduce those builds.

Problem
依赖布局检查和发布打包演练消耗托管 Linux 分钟,但不需要 npm 或 API 凭据。将任意拉取请求代码或携带凭据的发布任务放到持久化共享主机会削弱隔离;复用未经清理的检出目录也会削弱打包载荷验证。
Decision
release.yml 的两个作业和 release-vendor.yml 的打包作业仅在写权限维护者控制的仓库变量 DSH_CI_FAILOVER_LINUX 设为 selfhosted 时选择现有 Linux 自托管池。选择器要求当前仓库为正式仓库且触发者不是 Dependabot,然后只接纳 master 推送,或作者不是 Dependabot 的同仓库、非 fork PR(Pull Request)。手动触发始终选择 ubuntu-24.04,其他不满足条件的上下文也一样。故障切换手册 负责按平台划分的开关与热备操作。发布演练有意与主 CI 共用 Linux 开关:启用或禁用会同时路由两类负载,不能独立切换发布演练。未设置时仍默认使用托管池;只有运维人员选择 selfhosted 期间才节省托管分钟,无论该选择用于故障恢复还是持续的成本控制。
运行器标签为 [self-hosted, linux, x64, vm-backup]。运行器注册共享一台虚拟机,不代表独立机器容量。每个作业在 pnpm 设置前将 Node 编译缓存与 node-gyp 头文件放在运行器私有临时卷上,pnpm 设置目标路径包含运行、重试次数和作业标识。TMPDIR 也指向 runner.temp,因此临时 npm 消费目录既在检出目录之外,也在运行器清理范围之内,即使进程被强杀而无法执行 finally 也一样。持久化 pnpm 存储位于检出清理范围之外;只有 GitHub 托管运行器恢复远端存储缓存。两个演练工作流都不保存远端缓存。
检出操作显式清理被忽略和未跟踪的输出,再执行锁定依赖安装与现有构建。完整标签历史、打包并发、依赖检查、压缩包验证和产物保留期均保持不变。打包安装验证器在检出目录外创建全新的消费目录,用 npm 安装压缩包,移除继承的 Node 解析钩子,并在 finally 中删除消费目录;预热 pnpm 存储无法用工作区链接或过期构建输出代替压缩包载荷。npm 发布决策 仍负责发布族与发布操作。两个手动发布工作流全部保留在托管运行器上,本改动不增加凭据,也不改变注册表。
Alternatives considered
始终使用托管演练可以避免持久化主机风险,但会保留全部托管分钟。始终自托管则失去可移植回退。增加调度作业或可复用工作流会多出一个逻辑作业,并隐藏三个简短的设置序列。允许任意引用的手动触发,会让维护者操作获得比明确事件信任规则更广的持久化主机访问权限。
Consequences
取消变量或将其改为非 selfhosted 值,会将后续符合条件的作业路由到托管 Ubuntu。这是运维人员选择的回退,不会自动探测运行器健康,也不会切换已排队的作业。共享虚拟机仍可能与其他受信任作业竞争资源;仓库写权限维护者仍对进入持久化信任域的代码负责。工作流不安装主机系统包,也不修改全局主机配置。
scripts/tests/ci-release-selfhosted.spec.ts 使用受信任事件和 fork、Dependabot、其他仓库、非 master 推送、手动触发、缺失 PR 数据、禁用开关等负向对照求值已提交的选择器。测试固定设置顺序、检出清理、仅托管运行器访问远端缓存、发布隔离和保留命令。真实发布构建与打包安装执行仍由 PR CI 验证;选择器测试不声称重现这些构建。
