what

Phase 2 (part 1) of the CI-stability plan. #3037 (Phase 1) has since merged; this PR now targets main directly.

Restore-only toolchain cache on the acceptance shards. actions/cache/action.yml gains an opt-in restore-only input (string, default 'false') that switches to actions/cache/restore at the same pinned SHA (27d5ce7f… # v5.0.5, same repo and tag as actions/cache) with identical key/path/restore-keys; cache-hit and key outputs keep working (exactly one of the two steps runs). actions/cache/README.md documents the input and the many-consumers/one-writer pattern. The test job's Cache Atmos toolchain step passes restore-only: 'true' on all three OSes; terraform-registry-cache is unchanged and stays the single writer per OS.

Fix log: docs/fixes/2026-09-03-restore-only-toolchain-cache-on-shards.md.

Windows Defender exclusions on every Windows legdropped. Verified live on an actual windows-latest runner (Get-MpComputerStatus/Get-MpPreference, before/after our own Add-MpPreference calls) that GitHub's own windows-latest image already disables real-time monitoring and excludes C:\/D:\ entirely, at the image level, before any workflow step runs. Our exclusions only added redundant subpaths already covered. Since Defender was never actually scanning to begin with, it isn't the cause of the measured Windows slowdown — that root cause is still open. Recorded as docs/fixes/2026-09-04-windows-defender-exclusions-are-a-noop.md so it isn't re-attempted blind later.

why

Measured on test.yml runs Aug 24 to Sept 3 (80 successful Windows shards, step timelines, raw job logs, actions/cache/usage):

Cache. The repo's Actions cache is 18.9 GB across 17 entries against a 10 GB LRU quota; every entry is refs/pull/N/merge-scoped and minutes old, so the static key atmos-toolchain-<os>-<arch>-v2 never hits (every shard logs Cache not found for input keys). All 10 shards then race to save the same key and log Unable to reserve cache with key ..., another job may be creating this cache, and Post Cache Atmos toolchain costs 43 s avg / 3 min max per shard for nothing. Restore-only removes that post step from 30 shard jobs and the 10-way save race.

Expected: no Post Cache Atmos toolchain step on shards; no Unable to reserve cache lines in shard logs.

Deliberately not in this PR (separate PRs in flight): the single-writer hashed toolchain key in atmos.yaml ci.cache.key, shipping toolchains inside the build artifact, setup-go writer roles, and the cache warmup workflow's role.

Validation

  • python3 -c 'import yaml; yaml.safe_load(...)' on all edited YAML files: parse OK.
  • atmos ci validate on both edited workflows: clean.
  • go test ./cmd -run TestAtmosCacheActionValidatesMetadataBeforeActionsCache: passes.
  • Commit is signed; pre-commit hooks ran.

…st OS endpoints

Windows jobs have been finishing every step, including "Post Harden Runner"
and "Complete job", and then never reporting a conclusion until GitHub
cancels them 30-40 minutes later (0/day before harden-runner landed on the
Windows legs on Aug 31; 5, 9, 23/day on Sept 1-3). Root cause: harden-runner's
Windows post step waits at most 10 s for its agent, then kills it, and in the
losing case the agent is still restoring the runner's DNS settings, leaving
the adapter pointed at a DNS proxy that no longer exists.

- Add .github/actions/windows-dns-guard: a scheduled-task watchdog that
  resets DNS only once harden-runner's post step has begun, the agent is
  gone, and 127.0.0.1 is still configured. Wired into every Windows leg.
- Allowlist the Windows/macOS operating-system endpoints StepSecurity showed
  blocked on every job (NCSI probes, WNS, update/settings/telemetry, time
  sync, Sectigo OCSP/CRL, Apple update/CDN hosts); harden-runner stays in
  block mode everywhere.
- Drop the GOPROXY "|direct" fallback in block-mode workflows: it only fans
  out to blocked vanity-import hosts.
- Cancel superseded pull_request runs via a concurrency group.
- Skip SARIF uploads on merge_group runs, whose synthetic ref cannot be
  scanned and was evicting PRs from the merge queue.

The pool advertises four rotating names (0-3.pool.ntp.org); a single one
was only what happened to be sampled. Push deferred until the first CI run
of the guard finishes so its Windows data isn't cancelled by the new
concurrency group.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Skip Harden Runner on draft-PR Windows jobs: every other Windows step
  (including checkout) is already skipped there, so its post step would
  race the agent's DNS restore with no guard available.
- Run the guard's scheduled task as the runner's own Administrator account
  (S4U) instead of SYSTEM; it grants nothing the job does not already have.
- Wrap the plain go mod download steps in pre-commit.yml and codeql.yml
  with go-mod-download-retry now that GOPROXY has no direct fallback.
- Measurement query: filter to Windows jobs and tolerate fractional-second
  timestamps.

…hards

Phase 2 (part 1) of the CI-stability plan, stacked on the Phase 1 branch.

Windows Defender: on the Windows shards "Set up Go" averages 5.2 min
(max 10.5) restoring a 1.9 GB go-build+mod cache; the download is ~20 s,
the rest is tar/zstd extraction with Defender's real-time scanner
inspecting every extracted file, and the same scanner holding handles on
fresh test files surfaces as testing.TempDir cleanup failures
("unlinkat ... being used by another process"). Add a continue-on-error
pwsh step to every Windows leg of test.yml (build, terraform-registry-cache,
test, mock) and to setup-go-cache-warmup.yml that excludes D:\a,
C:\hostedtoolcache\windows, the Go caches, and the temp dirs, plus go.exe
as a process. These are ephemeral VMs and the step does not touch
harden-runner's egress policy.

Restore-only toolchain cache: the repo's Actions cache is 18.9 GB across
17 refs/pull/N/merge-scoped entries against a 10 GB LRU quota, so the
static atmos-toolchain-<os>-<arch>-v2 key never hits ("Cache not found
for input keys" on every shard), then all 10 shards race to save it
("Unable to reserve cache with key ...") and "Post Cache Atmos toolchain"
costs 43 s avg / 3 min max per shard for nothing. Add an opt-in
restore-only input (default 'false') to actions/cache/action.yml that
switches to actions/cache/restore at the same pinned SHA, keep cache-hit
and key outputs working, document it in the README, and set it on the
test job's "Cache Atmos toolchain" step for all three OSes.
terraform-registry-cache stays the single writer per OS and is unchanged.

Warning

SHA Pin Verification Passed — with documented exceptions

All 232 third-party action reference(s) are covered, but 2 rely on a documented allowlist entry in allowlist.json and could not be automatically drift-checked. This does not fail CI, but should be reviewed.

Action Location Status Details
aquasecurity/trivy-action@v0.36.0 build.yml:133 ⚠️ Allowlisted (documented) The aquasecurity GitHub organization has enabled an IP allow list that blocks API access (git ref/tag lookups) from GitHub-hosted Actions runner IPs, for any caller, on any of their repos, including public ones — this is not specific to our token or workflow. Verified independently: the exact same 403 is reported against the sibling aquasecurity/tfsec-action, and trivy-cache-action's issue tracker explicitly confirms 'aquasecurity GitHub org now has IP allow list enabled, blocking API access'. Manually confirmed our pinned SHA is correct (dereferenced the v0.36.0 annotated tag directly against the GitHub API from a non-Actions IP; it matches) — this entry only silences the automated drift check, which the API access restriction makes impossible to run in CI, not the underlying security property.

Add-MpPreference -ExclusionProcess 'go.exe' matches on image name only,
not path, so it would exempt any binary named go.exe from real-time
scanning regardless of where it actually lives - including one planted
by a compromised dependency during go build/go generate. The path
exclusions already in this step cover the actual scanning cost (file
I/O in the Go caches and workspace), so removing the process exclusion
gives up nothing measured.

(Skipped a second CodeRabbit finding on this PR: it asked test/
terraform-registry-cache to needs: a "cache-writer" job that doesn't
exist in this file - terraform-registry-cache itself is the writer,
and test is deliberately parallel to it so 30 shards don't wait on or
race the single writer job. Making test depend on it would serialize
two long-running job groups that currently run concurrently.)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds restore-only cache execution, exports cache metadata for nested actions, standardizes Windows Go cache setup, updates CI workflows, and documents related Windows and cache behavior.

Changes

Cache and CI updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cache action contract
actions/cache/action.yml, actions/cache/README.md
Adds mode-based restore behavior, deprecated input compatibility, cache metadata environment variables, custom cache roots, and Windows GNU tar setup.
Cache metadata emission and validation
cmd/ci/cache/*, errors/errors.go, cmd/docker_and_action_regression_test.go
Moves cache metadata validation into Go, writes metadata to GITHUB_OUTPUT and GITHUB_ENV, and adds coverage for output isolation, validation, and action ordering.
Windows Go cache integration
.github/actions/setup-go-cache/action.yml, .github/actions/windows-gnu-tar/action.yml, .github/workflows/test.yml, .github/workflows/setup-go-cache-warmup.yml
Relocates Windows Go caches and temporary directories to the work disk when drives differ, provisions GNU tar, and uses the local setup action across CI jobs.
Workflow cache usage and supporting records
.github/workflows/test.yml, docs/fixes/*, tests/testhelpers/fake_container_runtime.go
Makes test shards restore-only cache consumers, records the registry-cache writer model, documents Windows findings, and escapes tabs and newlines in fake runtime records.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6329a

Restore-only caching reduces save contention while retaining a single cache writer per operating system. The remaining risk is limited to inaccurate cache and compatibility documentation, so the change is mergeable with documentation follow-up.

Comment thread .github/workflows/test.yml Outdated
GitHub's own actions/runner-images build script already disables
real-time monitoring and excludes C:\ and D:\ entirely on windows-latest
images, before any workflow step runs. Confirmed live via a temporary
diagnostic step (Get-MpComputerStatus/Get-MpPreference) on an actual
windows-latest runner: RealTimeProtectionEnabled was already False and
ExclusionPath already {C:\, D:\} before our own Add-MpPreference calls,
which only added redundant subpaths already covered by the existing C:\
exclusion. Since Defender was never doing real-time scanning to begin
with, it wasn't the cause of the measured Windows slowdown this step was
meant to fix - that root cause is still open.

Splits the fix-log doc accordingly: the restore-only-toolchain-cache half
(unrelated, unaffected) moves to its own file; a new doc records the
Defender investigation and reversal so it isn't re-attempted blind later.

Comment thread .github/actions/setup-go-cache/action.yml Outdated
- .github/actions/setup-go-cache/action.yml: remove a leftover "setup-go
  v6" comment copy-pasted from a different call site; this action pins
  v5.6.0 and the v6-specific note about runner requirements doesn't apply.
- docs/fixes/2026-09-04-windows-go-caches-on-fast-disk.md: the "adopted
  everywhere on Windows or v5.6.0" claim missed the race job, which
  still pins v5.6.0 directly (no Windows disk-relocation work needed).

💥 This pull request now has conflicts. Could you fix it Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) (@osterman)? 🙏

@mergify mergify Bot added the conflict This PR has conflicts label Sep 5, 2026
Resolves conflicts in actions/cache/action.yml, actions/cache/README.md,
.github/actions/setup-go-cache/action.yml, and the windows-go-caches fix doc
against main's cache-action redesign (#3049): kept this branch's deprecated
restore-only input (mapped to mode) and its wider conditions layered on top
of main's redesigned structure, and kept this branch's fuller comments (the
Linux race-job pin note; the stale setup-go v6 comment removal).
