Conversation
A scheduled GitHub-hosted reconcile (ix-runners.yml) converges a pool of ix VMs against nix/ix-pool.toml, the pool's single source of truth (size, region, families). The runner NixOS policy lives in nix/ci-runner.nix: toolchain parity with the hosted images, 9 job-family placement labels dealt round-robin so repeat visits of a family land on a warm member, substituters for cache.ix.dev baked into the image (slot users are untrusted nix clients, so nothing a job passes at runtime can add one). Security shape: the reconcile runs ONLY on GitHub-hosted runners - IX_TOKEN never reaches a pool VM; runner registration uses short-lived tokens attached at VM create; fork PRs cannot read secrets, so untrusted events cannot touch the pool. Onboarding is: set IX_TOKEN, merge.
devShells.ci and ci-msrv (nix/ci-shell.nix) pin every CI toolchain - one shell per Rust toolchain, never 'cargo +toolchain' inside a shell (the shadowed rustup shim breaks it, hence .envrc also skips its nix branch in CI). The ci-env helper exports the curated environment (PATH, LIBCLANG/OPENSSL/PKG_CONFIG, LD_LIBRARY_PATH - openssl-sys binaries link a store libssl with no rpath) into GITHUB_ENV once. The single workflow seam is .github/actions/setup-ci-shell: nix arm enters the shell and exports ci-env; fallback arm (fork PRs on hosted runners, which have no nix) does rustup show + mise, exactly what jobs did before. Every ix-specific path fails open to today's behavior. setup-musl-cross gains the same shape for the musl target; the pool's musl-gcc wraps the full cross gcc (the thin libc wrapper links broken static-PIE binaries). flake.nix also carries lib.mkPool consumed by the reconcile workflow.
Three us-west-1 host incidents on 2026-08-17 each took the whole pool, because every member and every replacement lived there. Index-modulo split per ix-runners multi-region support: 16 members per region, one region's incident costs half the pool, and failed creates fail over to the other region the same tick instead of piling into the sick one. The ENG-10881 us-east v6 blackhole that used to forbid east placement is already mitigated in the member image (gai.conf v4 precedence in ci-runner.nix), so the xwin cross lanes are safe there. Adoption is organic: the reconcile matches members by name, so existing members move only at their next natural replacement - no forced wave.
The vend endpoint accepts main revs only, so this bump rides after the ix-runners merge. Brings the regions-list vocabulary the pool spec in the previous commit uses; without it the reconcile refuses 'unknown key regions' and the pool freezes (deliberately - unknown keys never default).
…ives vitest sizes its worker pool at availableParallelism()-1, and the workers leg spawns one workerd process per vitest worker. Every typescript_web fixture test spawns its own vitest instance, so N concurrent tests multiply into N x workers workerd processes at ~1 GiB anon each under V8. Measured at the moment a 64-core CI guest OOM-killed the suite: 22 resident workerd, ~13 GiB RSS + 14 GiB zram. The upstream cap (#7871) covers only the browser pool, and the lane had never passed unpinned on 64-core hosts (A/B with perfect cgroup oom_kill correlation). Two bounds, each modeling what the dial actually controls: - pin maxWorkers in the vitest config so pool size stops scaling with host core count (no effect at the hosted runners' 15-worker envelope); - a vitest-pool-serial nextest group (max-threads = 1) for sdk_test_typescript_web, so one vitest pool exists at a time and peak memory equals one pool - which is what VITEST_MAX_WORKERS models. Makes the suite portable to any runner size instead of encoding the 16-vCPU hosted envelope.
baml_release read release/platforms.json via include_str! four directories above its own root - library source, not a test - so the platform contract was compiled into baml_cli, baml, and everything downstream from a path outside every crate. Each consumer (the gradle plugin, the csharp pack tool, the release scripts, the CI change filters) then carried its own copy of that path. Move platforms.json into baml_release (content unchanged, R100) and point every reader at the new location. The contract now lives with the crate that compiles it in, and any per-crate build or source-slicing tool sees a self-contained crate instead of a silent reach above the workspace root.
Three sources reached above the workspace root and three build scripts read or wrote outside their own crate. Each gets the narrowest fix that keeps cargo behavior identical (proven by execution: full 'cargo test --no-run' green, generated files land in the same places): - baml_tests/tests/baml_src.rs include_str!'d a playground fixture from typescript2/ (the comment calls it 'intentionally cursed') and baml_project's param_schema.rs include_str!'d above the root under cfg(test) - which still compiles under --no-run. Both now read through a path that stays inside the workspace, failing loudly if the fixture is absent. - baml_tests' build.rs wrote generated_tests.rs into src/; when the source tree is read-only it now generates into OUT_DIR instead, same contents either way. - bridge_ctypes' and sdkgen_cpp's build scripts guarded against writing outside their crate when the source is not writable. - harness_setup resolved the shared fixture corpus and the canonical TypeScript sources by walking ../.. from the manifest dir; both walks now honor an env override (BAML_SDK_TEST_FIXTURES, BAML_SDK_TEST_TYPESCRIPT_SOURCES) and keep the relative walk as the default, and its fs::copy calls stop inheriting 0444 modes from read-only sources (the copies belong to the build). Together these make the workspace consumable by any per-crate build system - source slicing no longer breaks compilation, and no build mutates a sibling crate's tree.
runs-on swaps for every Linux lane: same-repo events target ['self-hosted', 'ix-<family>']; fork PRs keep the exact Blacksmith runner each job used before (they cannot be allowed on persistent VMs that later run trusted, secret-bearing jobs). checkout moves to actions/checkout@v6 with clean: false - tracked files still hard-reset to the SHA, ignored build state (target/, node_modules) survives for warm rebuilds on persistent runners; a no-op on ephemeral ones. ix-cross.yml adds the cross-compile lane (zig/xwin windows + darwin compile checks) that hosted runners had no capacity for. actionlint learns the ix label. Lane-level env pins ride along (CARGO_BUILD_JOBS/NEXTEST threads tuned to the 16-vCPU envelope the suites were tuned on; VITEST_MAX_WORKERS paired with the vitest-pool-serial group). wasm-pack-tests keeps upstream's bridge_wasm check (sys_llm no longer exists) and only swaps its runner/toolchain provisioning.
VITEST_MAX_WORKERS 4 -> 12 and the one-pool-at-a-time nextest group -> 2 in-flight pools. Both were OOM tourniquets for the pre-2026-08-17 elastic platform (idle guests deflated to ~6 GiB; re-inflation lost the race to the workerd spawn burst). The fleet now runs a per-guest working-set floor (learned peak stays plugged ~an hour) plus a post-boot inflation holdoff, so the memory the burst needs is already resident on any member that has seen this suite. Expected: the two serialized vitest_workers tests (91s + 49s) overlap, taking the lane from its ~278s floor toward ~160-180s. Step-down ladder if the lane goes red with 'Worker exited unexpectedly': workers 12 -> 8, then revert to 4 + max-threads 1.
…links NEXTEST/RUST_TEST_THREADS 16 -> 32 at the job level (workflow env overrides the runner unit's 16-pin deterministically; the 16 was tuned against the pre-floor deflation behavior - revert if the rust init-race or loom soak flakes return). GOMAXPROCS=16 joins the existing honesty-pin family, and GOFLAGS=-ldflags=-w drops DWARF from fixture test-binary links nothing ever debugs.
The sdk lanes were left on the imperative arm when the pool conversion landed: every job re-provisions its language toolchains through mise, measured at 27s per job on a warm persistent runner, while the converted lanes enter the flake CI shell in 3-8s. Measured today on the pool, the go lane runs 111s total; 27s of that is the mise step. This finishes the conversion. devShells.ci-sdk is the ci surface plus the toolchains the sdk lanes spawn from PATH: node 22 + pnpm (typescript lanes), temurin 23 + gradle with JAVA_HOME pinned (java lane). go, python, uv, wasm-pack, sccache, direnv, and cargo-nextest were already in the ci shell. One shared attr, not one per lane: every Linux sdk lane runs on the same ix-sdk runner family, so one closure warms all of them. The Blacksmith fork-PR fallback (and the macOS/Windows lanes, which have no nix) is byte-identical to the two steps this replaces: the composite's no-nix arm runs rustup show + setup-mise with each lane's unchanged install-args. dotnet stays on actions/setup-dotnet on both arms; it was never mise-provisioned. Version drift vs mise pins, accepted under the same policy as the earlier conversions: go and gradle track the pinned nixpkgs (mise pins go 1.23.11, gradle 8.14); node major matches (22); temurin major matches (23).
…ge build
'rustup run 1.93.0 cargo build' dies on the nix CI arm in 0.07s - that
rustup owns no toolchains ('toolchain 1.93.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu is
not installed', SETUP FAIL java_gradle_unix, proven on PR CI job
95515772259). The pin is also redundant on the mise arm: the workspace
rust-toolchain.toml already selects 1.93.0 through the rustup shim. Plain
cargo resolves correctly on both arms - the same shape go's setup.sh has
always used, which is why the go lane passed where java failed. setup.ps1
updated in sync (Windows runs the rustup shim; behavior unchanged).

Pin VITEST_MAX_WORKERS at the workflow level for the vitest lanes.
This job and browser-tests (Lines 139-165) now run vitest on the persistent ix-web pool. Neither job sets VITEST_MAX_WORKERS, so the value comes only from the runner unit environment in nix/ci-runner.nix. .github/workflows/cargo-tests.reusable.yaml Lines 78-94 record that the image pin reaches a VM only at the next pool roll, and that a roll cannot converge while CI keeps the members busy. On an ix-web member that predates the roll, vitest sizes its pool from availableParallelism() - 1, which is 63 on the 64-vCPU guests. That is the configuration the same comment reports as OOM-killed 2/2 with "Worker exited unexpectedly".
Set the bound in this workflow so it holds on every image generation.

Align ALL_PLATFORMS with the platform contract.
platforms.json marks windows-aarch64 Java support as experimental. ALL_PLATFORMS includes it, and this comment describes all six entries as non-experimental. A consumer that sets nativePlatforms = ["all"] can request an experimental native artifact.
Remove windows-aarch64 from ALL_PLATFORMS, or change the contract and release policy so this artifact is required. Also update the platform count in this comment.

Use one IX runner revision in both configuration paths.
flake.nix pins ix-runners to 275f844b869476bde794f3d691ebd946f20a890d. .github/workflows/ix-runners.yml runs indexable-inc/ix-runners at 24a7cfb69fd4aff7b71068feb81346c4e26bcafb. This violates the stated same-revision contract and can make reconciliation use an action that does not match the generated pool configuration.
Update one pin so both references use the same revision.

Superseded by the consolidated side-by-side preview in #4483: instead of editing the existing workflows, the preview runs copies of them on the ix pool next to the gating Blacksmith checks. A runs-on switchover PR only makes sense after that trial. |
The flip:
runs-onswaps for every Linux lane. Same-repo events target[self-hosted, ix-<family>]; fork PRs keep the exact Blacksmith runner each job uses today - untrusted code never touches persistent VMs that later run trusted, secret-bearing jobs. (That fallback is also why this PR's own CI runs on Blacksmith: it comes from a fork. The same contents running on the pool: the fork's trunk waves.)What the pool buys, measured against this repo's own Blacksmith medians (6 green runs):
Also in here: jobs enter the nix toolchain shell via the
setup-ci-shellseam from #4483 (fallback arm unchanged for hosted runners),checkoutmoves toclean: falseso ignored build state survives on persistent runners (a no-op on ephemeral ones), anix-cross.ymllane adds zig/xwin windows + darwin compile checks that hosted runners had no capacity for, and lane-level parallelism pins keep tools honest on 64 cores (they size tonprocotherwise).Reverting this one PR - or flipping any job's
runs-onback - restores today's behavior exactly. The pool machinery itself carries no state your CI depends on.Summary by CodeRabbit
