ci(testbox): run the gate and the LSP and API oracles on testboxes

[t3dotgg]

The gate and the LSP and API oracles could not run on a testbox. They read about 68 GB of zbook files that git does not hold: the project inputs, the runner trees, the oracle caches, the goldens and the pin oracle. The testbox sync sends only the git tree (tracked and untracked files, nothing under target/).

Most of these files cannot be built from source. Only 7 of the 89 projects have a prepare-*-inputs script, and the runner trees and caches exist only on zbook. So this PR uploads them once and keeps them on sticky disks:

• scripts/goport/testbox-data.txt lists the paths. Disk ts-rust-testbox-inputs holds what is the same for every Go pin. Disk ts-rust-testbox-pin-<pin> holds the pin cache, the LSP and API goldens and the pin oracle.
• testbox.sh seed copies them from zbook with rsync. A rerun copies only what is missing. push copies other paths (for example a bins dir), and get now uses rsync too.
• The workflow binds each path at its zbook path, binds the workspace on /home/theo/Code/sandbox/ts-rust and sets HOME=/home/theo, so gate.sh, lsp_oracle.py and api_oracle.py run unchanged. It also installs bubblewrap (for GOPORT_PIN) and psutil.

Two things to know:

• testbox.sh stop cancels the job, and a cancelled job does not commit its sticky disks. A seed must end on the idle timeout. This also means the target/ and cargo disks from #36 are not kept after a stop.
• The run-testbox idle loop does not see our rsync SSH route, so push touches its activity marker every minute.

Proof: on a fresh testbox that read only the committed disks, the R189 bins (commit 97e48d4, pin 673a5f17d713) matched R189's own runs on dbook-lan. gate-compare.py gave 3,952 of 3,952 items with 0 regressions. oracle-compare.py gave 0 lost for LSP (243,558 retained, 6 batteries) and for API (111,804 retained, 13 batteries). The full gate took 8.4 minutes, then LSP 3 minutes and API 1 minute.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added commands to transfer files and folders between the local workspace and the test environment, or seed it with shared and pin-specific data.
  • Test environment setup now includes Go data, shared inputs, and support for Rust and Python tools.

• Improvements

  • File transfers use the test environment’s SSH connection; uploads keep the environment active and preserve symlink targets.
  • Test environment data mounts are cleaned up automatically after a run.

Note

Run the gate and the LSP and API oracles on testboxes

• Adds a testbox-data.sh script with paths, mount, and umount commands that build a zbook-compatible filesystem layout from a data manifest (testbox-data.txt), binding shared inputs, pin-specific oracle data, the pinned Go checkout, and the workspace
• Extends testbox.sh with push and seed commands and switches get from the Blacksmith download command to rsync over an SSH route discovered from the Blacksmith status (testbox.sh)
• Updates the testbox workflow to mount the layout before tests, write a zbook-oriented environment (Cargo/Rustup paths, HOME, no Python bytecode), and always unmount after the run (testbox.yml)
• Behavioral Change: testbox.sh get no longer uses the Blacksmith download invocation; it maps relative remote paths into the synced repository location and requires one or two arguments

Walkthrough

The testbox workflow provisions sticky disks for shared and pin-specific data and configures the remote environment. New scripts resolve and mount configured data paths. The testbox CLI adds rsync-based get, push, and seed commands.

Changes

Testbox data flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Data manifest and path resolution scripts/goport/testbox-data.txt, scripts/goport/testbox-data.sh	The manifest lists shared inputs and pin-specific paths. The script resolves pin and oracle placeholders and provides path, mount, and unmount commands.
Sticky disks and mounted environment .github/workflows/testbox.yml, scripts/goport/testbox-data.sh	The workflow provisions sticky disks for shared inputs and the resolved pin, installs setup packages, configures the remote environment, and adds cleanup. The data script bind-mounts configured paths and the workspace.
Get, push, and seed commands scripts/goport/testbox.sh	The script configures the testbox SSH route and uses rsync for get and push. Seed selects manifest paths, defaulting to inputs and pin.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 34506

Seeded testbox data could silently stay stale if a file is replaced with same-size content, so later runs could read old inputs. Review the sticky disk commit mode before merging.

- Line 68: Update the `commit` settings for the seed and read-only testbox
steps: use an explicit commit mode for seeding so same-size file replacements
are persisted, and disable commits for read-only testboxes so they cannot save
stale snapshots.

Review comments at @scripts/goport/testbox.sh:
- Line 59: Update the `p` path handling so resolving a symlink for the push
source does not replace the requested absolute path used as the remote
destination. Keep the requested path for the destination and resolve the symlink
target only for the source.
- Around line 99-100: In the seed dispatch, capture the output of
scripts/goport/testbox-data.sh before filtering and check its exit status; if
the helper fails, report the manifest failure and exit nonzero. Then filter the
captured manifest to populate paths before calling push_paths.
