/run/current-system/sw/bin is where systemd-run lives on NixOS layouts, and a failed scope probe now falls through to the next candidate. The probe primitives are injectable so the trusted-path walk itself is under test instead of a bypassed resolver. Co-Authored-By: Epinephrine <luvs01@hanmail.net>

A group-writable /usr/local/bin lets a lower-trust local actor plant or replace systemd-run, and the no-op scope probe would exec it under the service account. Candidates now require a root-owned regular file with no group/world-write bits inside a directory held to the same rule, matching isTrustedSystemPath; an untrusted candidate falls through to the next trusted path or the plain detached spawn. Co-Authored-By: Epinephrine <luvs01@hanmail.net>
…system Export the default isExecutableFile hook as isTrustedSystemdRunFile and exercise it directly: non-root-owned executables, non-executable/missing paths, and (root-run suites only) a root-owned file inside a group/world-writable directory are all rejected; a real installed systemd-run is accepted when present. uid/mode semantics are POSIX-only, so each case is gated on what the test user can arrange. Co-Authored-By: Epinephrine <luvs01@hanmail.net>
…ed root fixture The previous case probed whatever systemd-run the host happened to have installed, which could legitimately fail the trust predicate on a host with a nonstandard layout. The positive assertion now uses a fixture we control: under a root-run suite the temp dir and file are uid-0 with non-writable modes, so the predicate's acceptance path is deterministic.

Exact-head review at 4bceb80. P1: the trusted executable check validates the symlink file and its lexical parent, but not the resolved target directory or replaceable namespace ancestors. A trusted-path symlink into a user-replaceable directory can therefore pass and later execute a substituted file as the service account. Resolve the target and validate every directory able to substitute it; add that regression. P2: first-request discovery runs up to four synchronous five-second probes on the management request path, blocking the shared event loop for about 20 seconds. Make probing asynchronous or perform it before serving. Exact-head CI is green but covers neither boundary.
The trust check validated the symlink entry and its lexical parent, but not the resolved target or the ancestors able to substitute it; a trusted-path link into a user-replaceable directory could pass and later exec a substituted file. Resolve the candidate and require root-only writability end to end. The management route now awaits resolveSystemdRunAsync before spawning, so first-request discovery no longer serializes up to twenty seconds of sync probes on the shared event loop.

Addressed at 331441a — both boundaries are now covered. P1 — resolved substitution chain. P2 — async probing. Local: |

Avoid caching a failed systemd-run resolution permanently.
When /api/update/run runs under systemd, the head calls resolveSystemdRunAsync() before startUpdateJob() validates whether an update is available. A transient probe failure can therefore cache null even when no worker starts. A later update receives undefined, uses the plain detached spawn, and can be killed with the proxy by KillMode=control-group.
The base revision also cached a negative result, but only when the worker-launch path performed the probe. This PR broadens the cache-filling path to requests that can fail before worker creation.
Suggested fix
const found = await systemdRunProbePending;
+ systemdRunProbePending = undefined;
// Honor a cache the sync resolver may have filled while the probe ran — the
// older observation wins so every caller converges on one launcher.
- if (systemdRunProbe === undefined) systemdRunProbe = found;
+ if (systemdRunProbe === undefined && found !== null) systemdRunProbe = found;
return systemdRunProbe ?? undefined;If repeated probe cost is a concern, give negative results a short TTL instead of caching them for the process lifetime.

The real privileged/systemd installation scenario, complete repository suite and other platforms were not exercised by this focused run. The helper workflow is outside this PR's tree and ancestry.
