Add manual one-job ephemeral runner acceptance - #922
Conversation
Verify instance and runner identity plus effective one-job shutdown before a bounded observer window. Keep acceptance credential-free and manual/main-only; reject legacy reusable runners. Exercise the inline validation with eleven offline tests in hosted CI.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds a manual ARM64 runner acceptance workflow. It validates dispatch authorization, instance identity, ephemeral runner configuration, systemd settings, and shutdown behavior. Offline contract tests run in CI through a new Make target. ChangesRunner acceptance validation
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new acceptance workflow can report a runner host compliant when its systemd drop-in permissions differ from the required 0644 configuration. Tighten the check and add regression coverage before merge so acceptance results remain reliable. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Accept the exact four-line PR86 drop-in and require its effective failure-limit environment entry without logging any environment values. Twelve offline tests and actionlint pass; observed the valid new fixture fail before the fix and again when the expected line was reverted, then pass after restoration.

@codex review Latest head 4f78716 matches the four-line ephemeral service contract prepared in AWS PR86 (that runtime cutover is still gated, not claimed deployed here). It also requires the effective failure-limit environment setting, evaluated in memory only without logging environment values. Twelve offline tests and actionlint pass. RED-VERIFIED: test_brokered_host_is_accepted failed against the old three-line expectation, passed with the repair, failed when the repair line was reverted, and passed after restoration. No acceptance dispatch or AMI build performed. |

Use a credential-free hosted authorization job before the single ARM acceptance job, so non-main refs fail instead of yielding a skipped green run. The regression executes the actual shell gate for main, another branch, a tag, wrong event and missing ref. Thirteen tests and actionlint pass; observed red, green, red with failure changed to success, then green after restoration.

RED-VERIFIED: review 5144055300 is addressed by test_non_main_dispatch_fails_instead_of_skipping_green and b62396f. Unauthorized dispatches now fail an executing hosted preflight before any ARM allocation, rather than skipping the sole job. Actual-shell red/green/reverted-red/restored-green verification passed; all 13 offline tests and actionlint pass.

NOT-A-DEFECT: CodeRabbit comment 5587965276 reports no actionable code findings. Its optional 80% docstring-coverage warning concerns small unittest methods whose names describe their cases; the module docstring documents the purpose and no repository test requires that coverage threshold. No runtime correction is needed. Deferring this manual workflow would block the explicitly requested rollout acceptance, so it remains in scope. My review-trigger comment 5588176165 contains no new finding; the skipped-green defect it references is already RED-VERIFIED and fixed in b62396f. Latest exact-head Codex review found no major issues.
Keep the runner acceptance target alongside the CI and AMI security targets added on main. The acceptance workflow and tests are unchanged. Tested on ARM: 13 runner acceptance, 9 CI workflow security, and 6 AMI security tests passed. actionlint 1.7.10 passed for all workflows.

@codex review Please review exact head 0fbbc1f. This normal merge of main87e99801 resolves only adjacent Makefile target additions, preserving both the runner acceptance target and the CI/AMI security targets. The acceptance workflow and tests are unchanged from reviewed b62396f; no permissions or dispatch behavior changed. On ARM dev, make test-runner-acceptance test-ci-security passed28tests (13acceptance,9workflow security,6AMI security). actionlint1.7.10 passed all workflows. No acceptance dispatch, PR merge, or AWS change performed. |

NOT-A-DEFECT: review 5145994035 and walkthrough 5587965276 request an exact 0644 mode, but the authored contract requires a root-owned, non-writable drop-in, not an exact mode. The workflow enforces a regular file, UID 0, no group/other write bits, exact content, and effective service properties. Modes 0444, 0600, and 0755 do not grant untrusted write access; an unreadable file fails before validation. Bootstrap emits 0644, but that exact mode is not required for this security or functional check. A focused local contract test confirms those safe modes pass while existing UID/content/writable-mode rejection tests remain unchanged. The docstring-coverage warning is optional coverage of unittest methods, not a repository requirement or runtime defect.
The pinned runner writes a BOM in .runner. Pass its bytes to the JSON decoder so the acceptance workflow can read the real settings file. Test the shipped loader against UTF-8, BOM-prefixed UTF-8, and malformed JSON. Preserve and document the root-owned non-writable mode contract. Tested on ARM: loader red, green, reverted red, restored green; 15 acceptance, 9 CI security, and 6 AMI security tests passed. actionlint 1.7.10 passed.

@codex review Please review exact head 9b74451. The only runtime change is reading the actual runner settings JSON as bytes so the UTF-8 BOM emitted by the pinned runner is handled correctly. The actual-loader regression tests ordinary UTF-8, BOM UTF-8, and malformed JSON; observed red, green, reverted-red, and restored-green. Focused safe-mode contract tests add coverage without changing the ownership, write-bit, content, or effective-service checks. On ARM dev, make test-runner-acceptance test-ci-security passes 30 tests (15 acceptance, 9 CI workflow security, 6 AMI security); actionlint 1.7.10 and git diff --check pass. No permissions, dispatch gates, or normal matrix gates changed. No manual acceptance dispatch, PR merge, or AWS mutation performed for this fix. |

NOT-A-DEFECT: refreshed walkthrough 5587965276 still cites the old 0fbbc1f exact-0644 assumption. The authored contract requires a root-owned file with no untrusted writers, exact content, and effective service checks, not an exact mode. Head 9b74451 adds focused tests for safe 0644, 0600, 0444, and 0755 modes while preserving ownership, writable-mode, content, and effective-service rejection tests. Optional 80% docstring coverage of unittest methods is not a repository requirement. Review request 5591106141 is procedural and records actual-loader red/green evidence; it introduces no unresolved finding.
CodeRabbit did NOT review 9b74451 because its included review limit was reached, and its skipped review is not being counted as approval. The accepted exact-head review is Codex comment 5591140845, which explicitly reviewed 9b74451 and found no major issues. Current-head CI must still pass before merge.

Purpose
Provide a small, explicit runtime acceptance check for the AWS runner credential migration. This is a separate change from PR #914.
Safety and behavior
Verification
On ARM dev at exact head 9b74451,
make test-runner-acceptance test-ci-securitypasses 30 tests: 15 acceptance, 9 CI workflow security, and 6 AMI security. Checksum-verified actionlint 1.7.10 passes all workflows.git diff --checkpasses.RED-VERIFIED:
test_actual_settings_loader_accepts_utf8_with_or_without_bomexecutes the actual settings-loader expression from the workflow against ordinary UTF-8, UTF-8 BOM, and malformed JSON fixtures. The BOM case failed withread_text(), passed withread_bytes(), failed again when the fix was reverted, and passed after restoration. The defect was also observed in the pinned runner's actual.runnerfile during read-only runtime inspection. Focused mode-contract tests accept safe root-owned non-writable modes without weakening the existing ownership, writable-mode, content, or effective-service checks.Deployment hold
Do not dispatch until the broker user data is deployed and the operator has arranged fresh-host selection/draining. The job intentionally fails if GitHub selects a legacy runner. No acceptance workflow or AMI build was dispatched by this PR preparation.
