CI uploads the SDK as cloud-sdk- and, on main pushes and manual runs, the verify binaries as ployz- and ployzd-, only when no earlier run uploaded that key. Main keeps them 14 days, branches 3. Cloud jobs download the SDK from whichever run built it, replacing the actions/cache copy keyed by a second, hand-kept file list.

A local cache miss asks gh for the newest live upload of the key from main, skipping other branches, tags and fork pull requests, since any of those can upload under a key's name unreviewed. It checks GitHub's digest and caches it. No gh, no login or no network is a plain miss.

Main runs no longer cancel each other, so every main commit uploads. Each push stores about 90 MB compressed (ployz 37 MB, ployzd 31 MB, SDK 23 MB), estimated from this branch's uploads.

Measured from a manual run of this branch, with an empty local cache:

1ployzd: hit github run 38429554140 (ee4f818df45e) 14.2 s
2ployzd: hit local c7c238c4 0.6 s

against 230.8 s to build ployz and ployzd. Zips drop the exec bit; verify-cluster already chmods what it copies.

The cloud.yml lookup is main-only too: a pull request run no longer reuses its own earlier upload, and a release-tag run reuses main's build of the same sources or builds. test_only_uploads_from_other_branches_of_this_repository_is_a_miss covers a same-repository upload from a feature branch and from a tag; dropping the head_branch check fails it and the main-download test.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Build workflows can reuse eligible existing artifacts and create new ones when needed, reducing redundant builds.
    • Main-branch builds are protected from cancellation by newer runs, while other builds remain cancellable.
    • Downloaded artifacts are checked for integrity before being reused; unavailable or invalid artifacts do not enter the cache.

The artifact utility now looks up and downloads eligible GitHub artifacts after local cache misses. CI workflows use artifact lookup to build missing binaries and reuse SDK artifacts, with commit-specific concurrency behavior on main.

Changes: CI artifact reuse

Layer / File(s)Summary
Artifact lookup and cache fallback
core/scripts/artifacts.py, core/scripts/test_artifacts.py
Artifact keys now include CI upload names. Fetch checks the local cache first, then looks up and downloads eligible artifacts. Tests cover selection, cache reuse, lookup misses, and digest mismatches.
CI binary artifact verification
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The workflow adds a non-PR job that looks up binary artifacts and builds and uploads missing binaries. Main-branch runs use commit-specific concurrency groups and are not cancelled.
Cloud SDK artifact reuse
.github/workflows/cloud.yml
The SDK job looks up an artifact and builds and uploads it when no match exists. Build and test jobs download the SDK by the name and run ID from that job. Main-branch runs use commit-specific concurrency groups and are not cancelled.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 15e93

When the SDK artifact comes from an earlier run, the cloud build job may fail to download it because it lacks Actions read permission. Add actions: read to the build job before merging.

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to 15e93

A manual run started on main can build code from a different release tag yet have its output accepted as trusted main output. This could let a collaborator with tag-creation and workflow-dispatch access introduce unreviewed code into developers’ processes and later cloud builds without merging that code to main.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: A main-triggered workflow run is not necessarily a main-source producer. A collaborator able to create a release tag and dispatch Release on main can supply the tag and its SHA; Cloud then executes helper and build scripts from that tag. Those scripts can emit a known main checkout’s keyed SDK name and produce malicious files. The resulting upload can satisfy the new same-repository/main-run filter and be reused by later cloud jobs or local SDK builds. The tag/SHA and version checks do not enforce reviewed-main ancestry, and the ZIP digest authenticates uploaded bytes rather than their source approval. This expands the pre-existing ability to execute release-tag code into persistent trusted-main reuse.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A poisoned SDK accepted under a reviewed key could execute native code in developers’ Node processes and subsequent Cloud jobs, and enter a packaged release image. The inspected local consumers inherit process authority and environment values. Production tenant or fleet compromise was not established by the supplied evidence.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The retained architecture concern is an alternate-checkout producer path: control a release tag, dispatch Release on main with that tag’s SHA, have tag-controlled scripts choose a target SDK name and bytes, then let later consumers accept the upload through main-run metadata. This requires tag-control and dispatch privileges, but the inspected checks do not require merging those bytes to main. The path was not live-reproduced.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Repository and branch filters constrain ordinary unreviewed producers, while digest comparison rejects changed ZIP bytes when an expected digest is supplied. Neither control binds the upload to the actual approved checkout. If digest is omitted, the code substitutes its locally calculated value and proceeds; production reachability of omitted digests is unresolved because the external API guarantee was not supplied.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Normal cache publication stages every required file and metadata before a directory rename, preventing an unfinished staging directory from becoming a normal cache hit. Successful downloaded entries remain reusable after remote records disappear. Consequently, removing a compromised remote upload alone does not remove already accepted local copies.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Restrict reusable production to an identified workflow that builds its reviewed main checkout, and enforce that producer provenance when selecting uploads. Exclude manual release runs with alternate checkout refs rather than treating main run metadata as source approval.
  • proposed — Require a valid independently supplied digest before remote bytes become a cached build, and define local invalidation for quarantined producer runs. These strengthen integrity and incident recovery; omitted-digest exploitation was not established.

P1 Badge Grant the build job access to cross-run artifacts

When a dashboard-only PR reuses an SDK uploaded by an earlier main run, this step downloads from that prior run, but the build job declares only contents and packages; GitHub sets every omitted permission, including actions, to none (workflow syntax). The official download-artifact documentation requires actions:read when github-token and another run-id are used (action documentation), so the Cloud build fails before packaging. Add actions: read to this job's permissions.

Grant actions: read to the build job for cross-run SDK downloads.

The build job overrides the workflow permissions and does not grant actions. When needs.sdk.outputs.run-id refers to an earlier workflow run, actions/download-artifact cannot access that run's artifact.

Proposed fix
diff
1 build:
2 permissions:
3 contents: read
4 packages: write
5+ actions: read

The sdk and test jobs inherit the workflow-level actions: write permission, so their artifact lookup and downloads already have read access.

P2 Badge Treat unreadable cache metadata as a miss

When an existing cache entry has a truncated, malformed, or concurrently removed meta.json, this unconditional read now raises OSError or JSONDecodeError and aborts the SDK/verify build instead of falling back to GitHub or rebuilding. The previous implementation explicitly caught both cases and returned a cache miss, so preserve that behavior around this read (and optionally discard the invalid entry).
