Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Build post-processing can now update read-only output files and directories. Links to valid build outputs are replaced with writable copies, while dangling links are left unchanged.
  • Documentation
    • Test setup guidance now clarifies that temporary repositories use a frozen example configuration and do not read the checkout’s i18n/ directory.

geromegrignon and others added 2 commits October 28, 2026 10:36
Bazel writes its outputs read-only (files 0444, directories 0555), and
parts of the output tree (assets/content/**) are symlinks into other
read-only Bazel outputs. postProcess rewrites index.html, JS bundles,
the rendered docs, robots.txt and sitemap.xml in place, so `pnpm build`
failed on CI with EACCES (seen in angular-devs-france/angular-docs-fr,
first on browser/ai/agent-skills/index.html, then on
assets/content/ai/agent-skills.md.html).

makeWritable() now runs before the rewrite: each symlink in the output
is replaced with a copy of its target (directories recursively,
dereferenced) so Bazel's own outputs are never edited, dangling
symlinks are left alone, and every file and directory gets owner write
permission.

Tests cover read-only files and directories, and directory, file and
dangling symlinks (the target behind a symlink stays untouched). They
fail without the fix when run as a non-root user, like CI.

Walkthrough

The change prepares Bazel build output for post-processing and moves test example-language configuration into a fixture under tools/test. It also updates test documentation and adds a check that test scripts do not reference the checkout’s i18n directory.

Changes: Writable build output

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prepare output before post-processing
tools/lib/build-steps.mjs, tools/test/build-steps.test.mjs
makeWritable replaces resolvable symlinks with copies and adds owner permissions to output entries. postProcess invokes it and logs changes. Tests cover read-only entries, symlinks, and dangling symlinks.

Frozen example-language test fixture

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and use the example-language fixture
tools/test/fixtures/example/*, tools/test/helpers.mjs, tools/test/scripts.test.mjs, CONTRIBUTING.md
The fixture adds French language guidance, glossary, site configuration, and README. Test repository setup copies the fixture, and a test checks that scripts do not reference the checkout’s i18n directory. Documentation describes the fixture source.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to d746f

Builds can fail on output containing a nested dangling symlink. Fix the copy sequence before merging; the test-isolation check should also cover equivalent checkout paths.

Detect all checkout i18n path forms.

The assertion matches only packageRoot, 'i18n'. It allows double-quoted paths and paths such as path.join(packageRoot, 'i18n/_example/LANGUAGE.md'). Extend the check to cover these equivalent constructions.

Suggested fix
-      assert.ok(!/packageRoot,\s*'i18n'/.test(src), `${f} reads packageRoot/i18n: use tools/test/fixtures instead`);
+      assert.ok(!/packageRoot,\s*["']i18n(?:["'/]|$)/.test(src), `${f} reads packageRoot/i18n: use tools/test/fixtures instead`);

Preserve nested dangling symlinks when copying a directory.

If a directory symlink contains a dangling symlink, cp with dereference: true fails while copying that child. The preceding unlink(p) removes the outer symlink first. postProcess then fails and leaves incomplete build output. Copy into a temporary path with symlink-aware handling for dangling children. Replace the outer symlink only after the copy succeeds. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
