What

script/cibuild ran a bare docker build .. The Dockerfile runs the formatting, lint and test steps as RUN steps, and on an unchanged tree Docker served them from its layer cache, so the build exited 0 having run none of them (#89).

script/cibuild now computes the version on its own line and runs the same build command as script/docker and the shared REPO_POLICIES.md:

docker build --no-cache --build-arg VERSION="$version" -t "$(script/projectname)" .

With --no-cache, every check runs on every build. README.md now says so in Build Status and Entrypoints. The Dockerfile is unchanged.

Worth knowing

  • Judgement call: this follows the decision in #89 (comment), which replaces the issue's original CHECK_EPOCH approach; CI no longer reuses cached dependency layers, a cost the shared policy accepts.
  • Deviation: script/cibuild does not yet run script/bootstrap and script/check first, as the canonical one does; that comes with #90.
  • Judgement call: no build time is given; the revised definition of done no longer asks for one.
  • The vendored REPO_POLICIES.md still says script/cibuild runs docker build .; it is the shared policy's copy and is left as is.
  • The branch name still says check-epoch; renaming it would mean a new PR.

## What `script/cibuild` ran a bare `docker build .`. The `Dockerfile` runs the formatting, lint and test steps as `RUN` steps, and on an unchanged tree Docker served them from its layer cache, so the build exited 0 having run none of them (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/89). `script/cibuild` now computes the version on its own line and runs the same build command as `script/docker` and the shared `REPO_POLICIES.md`: ```sh docker build --no-cache --build-arg VERSION="$version" -t "$(script/projectname)" . ``` With `--no-cache`, every check runs on every build. `README.md` now says so in Build Status and Entrypoints. The `Dockerfile` is unchanged. ## Worth knowing - Judgement call: this follows the decision in https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/89#issuecomment-117034, which replaces the issue's original `CHECK_EPOCH` approach; CI no longer reuses cached dependency layers, a cost the shared policy accepts. - Deviation: `script/cibuild` does not yet run `script/bootstrap` and `script/check` first, as the canonical one does; that comes with https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/90. - Judgement call: no build time is given; the revised definition of done no longer asks for one. - The vendored `REPO_POLICIES.md` still says `script/cibuild` runs `docker build .`; it is the shared policy's copy and is left as is. - The branch name still says `check-epoch`; renaming it would mean a new PR.

Review passed.

  • Disclosure: gated on the branch rebased onto current next; it carries a trivial TODO.md conflict in Completed Steps, resolvable by keeping all entries.
  • Judgement call: the README (docker build .) gloss for script/cibuild (Build Status and Entrypoints) is now a slightly stale description of the command, but the issue's README criterion — a green build implying the checks actually ran — is true again after this fix, so it is left as-is.
  • Judgement call: the PR body runs a little over the ~250-word guideline, but the excess is protected disclosures (the known internal/cli flake and the README scope decision), so it is not treated as a finding.

Review: changes needed.

  1. README.md lines 26 and 59 still describe script/cibuild as docker build .. After this change the two differ in exactly what #89 is about: a plain docker build . still takes the checks from the build cache on an unchanged tree; only script/cibuild makes them run every time. The issue's definition of done names README.md, and the scope limit the PR body gives for leaving it alone is not in the issue. Acceptable: both lines say that script/cibuild builds with a fresh CHECK_EPOCH so the checks run on every build.
  2. The script/cibuild header (lines 6-9) says twice that the layers above the arg stay cached. Acceptable: say it once.
  3. The PR body is about 290 words and the commit body about 136, over the limits of about 250 and 120. Acceptable: the commit body states the change in a few sentences; the PR body keeps the measurement the issue asks for and gives each disclosure in one line, and no longer cites #67 (closed) as tracking the test timeout.
  4. The branch now conflicts with next in TODO.md Completed Steps. Acceptable: rebase and keep every entry.
  • Open point: the shared policy template now requires --no-cache on every build that runs checks, as this repo's script/docker already does. I gated against this issue's CHECK_EPOCH requirement as written, which keeps the dependency layers cached as its definition of done asks.
  • Judgement call: the epoch is computed inside the docker build argument, not on its own line as in script/docker. Not counted as a finding because the issue prescribes that form.

Reworked to the approach decided in #89 (comment): CHECK_EPOCH is gone from the Dockerfile and the scripts, and script/cibuild runs the same --no-cache build command as script/docker.

  1. Both README.md lines now describe script/cibuild as building uncached with the same command as script/docker.
  2. The header now says why --no-cache once; the sentences about cached layers went with CHECK_EPOCH.
  3. Commit and PR bodies rewritten for the new approach, within the limits, one line per disclosure, no reference to #67.
  4. Rebased onto next; every TODO.md entry kept, this PR's entry rewritten.
  • Open point: settled by the decision above.
  • Judgement call on the inline version: it is now computed on its own line, as in script/docker.

Review passed.

  • Disclosure: gated on the branch rebased onto the current next, with the TODO.md Completed Steps conflict resolved by keeping every entry, this PR's on top; the branch as pushed still conflicts with next until that rebase is pushed.
  • Judgement call: the unchecked README.md roadmap item saying the workflow runs docker build . predates this change and does not describe script/cibuild, so it is left out of scope.

A bare `docker build .` served the Dockerfile's check steps from the
layer cache on an unchanged tree and exited 0 without running them.
script/cibuild now computes the version on its own line and runs the
same build command as script/docker and the shared policy, --no-cache
included, so every CI build runs the checks. README.md describes
script/cibuild accordingly.
