Summary

  • route compilation-heavy local mise tasks and hk checks through mbx
  • configure trusted Namespace jobs for the jdx server cache and fork-safe GitHub-hosted cache restores
  • document exact Cargo fallbacks and the mr-boxington Discussions escalation path
  • use the direct Cargo-subcommand syntax released in mbx 0.4.0
  • pin local and CI setup to mbx 0.4.0

Validation

  • resolved the committed mise lock to mbx 0.4.0
  • installed the locked tool and confirmed mbx 0.4.0
  • evaluated the mise configuration and task list
  • confirmed mbx build direct syntax
  • ran actionlint and the repository-specific configuration checks for the original integration

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added build-cache support for external pull requests, Dependabot pull requests, and trusted builds.
    • Updated build, test, and Clippy workflows to use the build cache where available.
    • Simplified development tasks for cached builds, tests, and Clippy checks.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for bypassing the build cache, troubleshooting failures, and reporting diagnostics.
  • Chores

    • Removed the previous build-cache dogfooding workflow.

Note

Medium Risk
Touches all CI compilation and cache behavior plus fork/trust boundaries for OIDC and remote cache writes; application code is unchanged but a bad trust split could affect cache safety or PR CI reliability.

Overview
Replaces Swatinem/rust-cache with mbx (pinned 0.4.0) for compilation-heavy work in mise tasks (build, test, lint:clippy) and in CI, using mbx’s direct mbx build / mbx test / mbx clippy syntax.

CI is split into trusted vs untrusted paths via a new reusable test-impl.yml. Maintainer/trusted runs use OIDC, the remote cache.mise.jdx.dev backend, and Namespace namespace-profile-endev-linux-amd64 for Linux jobs; fork and other untrusted runs use the GitHub cache backend only, with an explicit step asserting OIDC env vars are absent. The top-level test workflow’s final job now passes when exactly one of those paths succeeds.

A composite .github/actions/mbx action centralizes mbx setup and backend selection. The standalone mbx-dogfood experiment workflow is removed. AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md document Cargo equivalents and how to report mbx issues.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a reusable mbx GitHub Action, migrates CI and mise commands to mbx, adjusts CI permissions and runners, removes the mbx dogfood workflow, documents Cargo fallbacks, and reformats unchanged parser conditions.

Changes

mbx build-cache integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
mbx action setup
.github/actions/mbx/action.yml
Adds the pinned mr-boxington-action and selects the cache backend by pull request origin.
CI cache and command migration
.github/workflows/test.yml, .github/workflows/mbx-dogfood.yml
Uses mbx in test, Windows, and MSRV jobs. Adds OIDC permissions, conditional runners, updated Clippy and MSRV commands, revised shell setup, and removes the mbx dogfood workflow.
Local task and contributor guidance
mise.toml, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md
Updates build, test, and Clippy tasks to use mbx. Documents Cargo fallbacks and diagnostic reporting requirements.
Parser condition formatting
lib/src/parse.rs
Rewrites two required_unless conditions as explicit boolean expressions without changing behavior.

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

Poem

A rabbit checks the cache at dawn
mbx carries builds along
Cargo waits as fallback near
OIDC grants the path clear
Green tests nibble through the code

Shadow comparison

Parsing mise use -g node@20 against a shadow of mise's committed spec.
Reported, not gated: the shadow grows as the derive learns to express more, so
what to watch is the ratio rather than either column.
