Fixes found running the 13-target real-world conformance campaign on the official runner-large golden (Apple Silicon, arm64).

Server fixes:

  • docker: probe overlay and force overlay2/vfs storage driver in daemon.json; fuse-overlayfs cannot mount in the smolvm kernel and killed every container job (wheel builds now run).
  • pool: runner completion via oneshot instead of re-polling a completed &mut JoinHandle (tokio "JoinHandle polled after completion" panic that tore the pool down at machine ~60).
  • store: PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE) after each commit; the per-event run rewrite grew the WAL to 429 MB and froze the server.
  • rosetta: prepare_rosetta_multiarch() installs amd64 loader+libc (libc6/libgcc-s1/libstdc++6/zlib1g/libsystemd0:amd64) into the packed golden during the prep boot on Apple Silicon, so dynamically linked x86_64 binaries run under Rosetta (react optipng-bin, valkey x86_64 tarballs). Fingerprint gains rosetta_libs to re-prep stale bases; the arm64 apt sources are scoped (Architectures: arm64) with an archive.ubuntu.com [arch=amd64] source across all four suites.
  • runner_user wrapper: raise RLIMIT_NOFILE to 524288 (GitHub's systemd default) as root before the setpriv drop; --init-groups now correct in both branches via sudo. Fixes valkey's "maximum open files" EPERM.
  • guest PATH: cargo bin dir now matches the runner user instead of hardcoding /root/.cargo/bin, which the unprivileged runner cannot stat (nodejs/ci EACCES on git lookup).

Harness (conformance-5repos.sh):

  • pass --repository {owner}/{repo} on submit (checkouts with explicit refs synced the client default local/preloop)
  • sample the changed-file payload to 50 files (run creation was O(payload × jobs); deno's 8500-file list timed out)
  • PR-event retry carries an action; fingerprint replication matches the rosetta_libs field

Summary by cubic

Stabilizes the orchestrator and runner on Apple Silicon by hardening Docker startup, fixing runner lifecycle panics, bounding SQLite WAL growth without per-commit fsyncs, and enabling Rosetta for x86_64 binaries. Container jobs start reliably, x86_64 tools run under Rosetta on arm64, and the server stays responsive during large campaigns.

  • Docker: probes overlay, forces overlay2 or vfs in daemon.json, resets the data-root once on driver mismatch, and exits nonzero if the post-reset start still fails; images re-pull after a reset.
  • Runner pool: uses a oneshot completion channel instead of re-polling a completed JoinHandle to eliminate the panic; logs clear errors when a slot dies.
  • Store: replaces per-commit wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE) with periodic truncation every 128 commits; relies on SQLite wal_autocheckpoint between truncations, retries when checkpoints are busy, and now surfaces checkpoint failures as errors.
  • Rosetta on macOS arm64: during golden prep installs amd64 loader and libs (libc6:amd64, libgcc-s1:amd64, libstdc++6:amd64, zlib1g:amd64, libsystemd0:amd64), scopes arm64 sources and adds amd64 sources; the environment fingerprint adds rosetta_libs so stale bases re-prep once.
  • Runner user wrapper: raises RLIMIT_NOFILE to 524288 before dropping privileges and uses --init-groups under sudo in both branches; fixes EPERM in suites that raise the soft limit.
  • Guest PATH: now derives the cargo bin dir from the runner_user; /root/.cargo/bin is not exported for unprivileged runners.
  • Harness: passes --repository {owner}/{repo}, samples changed files to 50, includes a PR action on retries, bumps client timeout to 3600s, makes snapshot/status writes non-fatal, and expands targets to TypeScript, Node.js, React, VS Code, and Spark workflows.

Rollout notes

  • Apple Silicon hosts re-prep packed goldens once due to the rosetta_libs fingerprint; ensure outbound apt access during prep.
  • The first Docker start may wipe the Docker data-root if a storage-driver mismatch is detected; images will re-pull.
  • The sudo -n path in the runner wrapper must be available for the image user.

Written for commit d0215e2. Summary will update on new commits.

Note

Fix orchestrator runtime: Docker storage-driver selection, Rosetta multiarch, and periodic SQLite WAL checkpoints

  • Docker daemon in docker_start_command probes overlay mounts and selects overlay2 or falls back to vfs to avoid fuse-overlayfs failures under smolvm
  • New prepare_rosetta_multiarch installs amd64 loader and libc into arm64 Ubuntu goldens on Apple Silicon; environment fingerprint records rosetta_libs so separate goldens are produced
  • SqliteStore now truncates the WAL every 128 commits (WAL_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL) instead of on every commit, with checkpoint_wal retrying up to 10 times on contention
  • guest_runner_path replaces the hard-coded GUEST_RUNNER_PATH constant, choosing /root/.cargo/bin for root and /home/<user>/.cargo/bin for non-root runners; as_runner_user raises RLIMIT_NOFILE to 524288 and uses setpriv --init-groups consistently
  • run_one_runner replaces direct JoinHandle polling with a oneshot channel, avoiding a potential panic when a runner exits before successor provisioning completes
  • Behavioral Change: non-root runners no longer get /root/.cargo/bin on PATH; goldens on Apple Silicon now require successful amd64 multiarch installation (fatal on failure); WAL is no longer truncated on every commit so the WAL file may grow between checkpoints

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR expands conformance targets and submission payloads. It adds Docker retry handling, Rosetta preparation, improved golden downloads, configuration-aware runner paths, explicit runner completion results, privilege setup changes, and periodic SQLite WAL checkpointing.

Changes

Runtime and conformance updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Conformance campaign targeting and submission
benchmarks/real-world/conformance-5repos.sh
The campaign adds repository targets, increases the timeout, limits synthetic payload paths, includes pull-request actions, passes repository slugs, and tolerates post-run persistence failures.
Golden downloads and base environment
crates/preloop-orchestrator/src/lib.rs
Golden downloads add timeout, progress reporting, OCI layer-size handling, detailed errors, and failed-payload cleanup. Curated installations add packages, Python package-management support, and shared tool-cache variables.
Host preparation and Docker startup
crates/preloop-orchestrator/src/environment.rs, crates/preloop-orchestrator/src/lib.rs
Environment fingerprints include the Rosetta requirement. Docker probes overlay support, retries startup after storage reset, and reports repeated failure. Apple Silicon golden preparation installs and verifies amd64 runtime support.
Runner paths, lifecycle, and privilege setup
crates/preloop-orchestrator/src/lib.rs, crates/preloop-orchestrator/tests/runner_pool_lifecycle.rs
Runner paths use the configured user. Completion uses a oneshot result channel. Runner failures produce explicit outcomes. Non-root launches raise file-descriptor limits and use --init-groups. Tests validate wrapper behavior and updated paths.
SQLite WAL checkpoint scheduling
crates/preloop-runner-server/src/store.rs
The store schedules truncating WAL checkpoints every 128 commits, retries blocked checkpoints, applies maintenance to SQLite write paths, and promotes restored ready jobs.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d0215

This PR changes runner provisioning, Docker recovery, Rosetta runtime setup, and SQLite persistence. At the current head, x86_64 jobs can still start without required libraries, Docker recovery can reset a live data root, restored work can remain blocked, and committed writes can surface as failures while the store is held. These are concrete correctness and availability risks that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

1099-1110: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Stop the first daemon and report retry failure.

After the first timeout, dockerd can still use DOCKER_DATA_ROOT. Line 1104 deletes that directory before stopping the daemon. If the second readiness loop also times out, line 1110 returns success, so the caller does not log the failed startup.

Stop and reap the first daemon before clearing its data root. Exit nonzero after the second timeout.

Blocking performance concern in crates/preloop-runner-server/src/store.rs: this PR now executes PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE) synchronously after every store_inner and store_run_event commit.

That trades an occasional oversized-WAL checkpoint for a checkpoint/fsync on every runner event. TRUNCATE has FULL/RESTART-style blocking semantics and runs through Preloop's single SQLite connection, so this is likely to create persistent write latency and p95/p99 head-of-line blocking under concurrent jobs.

I reproduced the mechanism locally with SQLite WAL + synchronous=NORMAL, 1,500 small update transactions:

normal WAL:                    72.19 ms total, 0.048 ms mean/commit
TRUNCATE after every commit: 2535.97 ms total, 1.691 ms mean/commit

That is ~35x slower before Preloop's JSON serialization, encryption, projection rewrites, or concurrent runner traffic.

There is also an observability issue: wal_checkpoint returns (busy, log_pages, checkpointed_pages), but execute_batch discards the row, so the code cannot tell whether a checkpoint was blocked or actually truncated the WAL.

Suggested direction:

  • keep/tune wal_autocheckpoint, or checkpoint on a byte/page/time threshold;
  • use PASSIVE checkpointing from a background durability worker rather than every event;
  • reserve RESTART/TRUNCATE for maintenance/shutdown;
  • metric the returned busy/log/checkpointed counts;
  • benchmark submission, polling, log/reporting, and completion p50/p95/p99 under concurrent jobs.

SQLite docs: https://sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_wal_checkpoint and https://sqlite.org/wal.html.

Also note the three unresolved inline threads already present on this PR: prepare_rosetta_multiarch can ignore required apt failures, the overlay probe uses malformed lowerdir=/tmp,/usr syntax, and the retry path can start a second dockerd while the first may still own the data root.

🟠 High src/store.rs:839

A blocked PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE) can hold the sole store connection for roughly 50 seconds, so every checkpoint interval can freeze other store operations. Each of the ten retries independently honors the 5-second busy_timeout; the 10 ms sleep does not bound the total wait. Limit this to one checkpoint attempt (or otherwise avoid retrying with the busy handler enabled).

maybe_checkpoint_wal returns an error after the transaction has already committed, so each affected store_* method reports persistence failure for a write that succeeded. A retry can then hit constraint failures or duplicate non-idempotent inserts such as log chunks and control events. Treat checkpoint failures as post-commit maintenance errors rather than propagating them to the write caller.

Stop the retry before resetting a live Docker data root.

If the first dockerd process survives the five-second wait, Line 1114 still returns failure. Lines 1119-1120 then delete its active data root and start another daemon. This can corrupt Docker state or create competing daemon ownership.

Wait for and reap the first daemon. If it remains alive, exit without resetting the data root or retrying startup.

Make post-commit WAL checkpoint failures non-fatal.

tx.commit() makes the write durable before maybe_checkpoint_wal runs. A blocked checkpoint can therefore return an error for a successful write. PRAGMA busy_timeout = 5000 can make each of ten retries wait about five seconds while holding the shared connection mutex, blocking store operations for about 50 seconds. Defer checkpoint maintenance, use a short-timeout or separate path, and report failures through warnings and metrics.

Follow-ups to the conformance campaign fixes (PR #151):

- docker: the krunfw guest kernel has fuse built in, but /dev boots as a
  plain tmpfs with no device nodes, so fuse-overlayfs (dockerd's fallback
  when its overlay probe fails) dies with 'fuse: device not found'. The
  hook now creates /dev/fuse when the kernel lists fuse, letting dockerd
  auto-pick fuse-overlayfs (CoW) — on this kernel dockerd's overlay2 probe
  mount gets EINVAL and overlay2 is never viable, so the earlier fix was
  falling back to vfs. vfs is now forced only when overlay fails AND fuse
  is absent.
- RLIMIT_NOFILE: 524288 instead of 1048576 — systemd's built-in hard
  default, which is what GitHub's runner service inherits (exact parity).
- guest PATH: cargo bin dir matches the runner user (/home/<user>/.cargo)
  instead of hardcoded /root/.cargo/bin, which the unprivileged runner
  cannot stat (nodejs/ci EACCES).
- multiarch shim: add libsystemd0:amd64 (valkey's x86_64 tarballs link
  libsystemd.so.0).

Verified live on the golden VM: hook creates /dev/fuse, dockerd 28.0.4
reports Storage Driver: fuse-overlayfs, and hello-world runs. 61
orchestrator tests pass.
Fixes found running the 13-target real-world conformance campaign on the
official runner-large golden (Apple Silicon, arm64).

Server fixes:
- docker: probe overlay and force overlay2/vfs storage driver in
  daemon.json; fuse-overlayfs cannot mount in the smolvm kernel and killed
  every container job (wheel builds now run).
- pool: runner completion via oneshot instead of re-polling a completed
  &mut JoinHandle (tokio 'JoinHandle polled after completion' panic that
  tore the pool down at machine ~60).
- store: PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE) after each commit; the per-event
  run rewrite grew the WAL to 429MB and froze the server.
- rosetta: prepare_rosetta_multiarch() installs amd64 loader+libc
  (libc6/libgcc-s1/libstdc++6/zlib1g/libsystemd0:amd64) into the packed
  golden during the prep boot on Apple Silicon, so dynamically linked
  x86_64 binaries run under Rosetta (react optipng-bin, valkey x86_64
  tarballs). Fingerprint gains rosetta_libs to re-prep stale bases; the
  arm64 apt sources are scoped (Architectures: arm64) with an
  archive.ubuntu.com [arch=amd64] source across all four suites.
- runner_user wrapper: raise RLIMIT_NOFILE to 524288 (GitHub's systemd
  default) as root before the setpriv drop; --init-groups now correct in
  both branches via sudo. Fixes valkey's 'maximum open files' EPERM.
- guest PATH: cargo bin dir now matches the runner user instead of
  hardcoding /root/.cargo/bin, which the unprivileged runner cannot stat
  (nodejs/ci EACCES on git lookup).

Harness (conformance-5repos.sh):
- pass --repository {owner}/{repo} on submit (checkouts with explicit refs
  synced the client default local/preloop)
- sample the changed-file payload to 50 files (run creation was
  O(payload x jobs); deno's 8500-file list timed out)
- PR-event retry carries an action; fingerprint replication matches the
  rosetta_libs field
Addresses the blocking review concern: PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE) after
every store_inner/store_run_event commit fsyncs the DB per runner event
(~11-35x slower in a WAL micro-benchmark, head-of-line blocking on the single
connection). Now a truncating checkpoint runs only every 128 commits
(WAL_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL); SQLite's background wal_autocheckpoint bounds
routine growth between truncations. The checkpoint_wal helper (result-row
read + busy retry) is retained for observability.

Bench (1500 small WAL txns, synchronous=NORMAL):
  truncate every commit:  0.107 ms/commit
  periodic (every 128):   0.0095 ms/commit, WAL bounded ~366 KB

21 store tests pass.
Completes the dockerd-restart hardening: after resetting the data root, the
second start_dockerd attempt no longer swallows failure with exit 0. It now
exits 1 so the provision path logs the failed startup (the caller already
treats docker start as non-fatal — only container jobs depend on it — so
non-container jobs still proceed, but the failure is visible).

2102-2113: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The direct-create path still skips prepare_rosetta_multiarch.

This block covers the forkable curated golden. provision_runner also creates Rosetta-enabled guests directly (rosetta is set in the MachineSpec at Line 3872) and installs the curated baseline at Lines 3884-3894 without any multiarch preparation. A use_fork = false runner and every direct-create fallback runner therefore lack /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, so dynamically linked x86_64 tools fail at job time.

Call prepare_rosetta_multiarch in the direct-create branch of provision_runner, before install_base_dependencies.

1325-1337: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Stop the retry when the first dockerd is still alive.

start_dockerd sends kill and waits up to five seconds. If the process is still alive after that wait, the function still returns 1. Line 1336 then deletes the live daemon's data root and Line 1337 starts a second daemon against the same path. Two daemons can then own {DOCKER_DATA_ROOT} at the same time and corrupt image and container metadata.

Return a distinct status when the daemon survives the kill, and skip the data-root reset and the retry in that case.

4060-4064: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

chmod -R 777 runs on every runner launch.

Line 4062 recurses over the whole tool cache. On a warm golden /opt/hostedtoolcache holds thousands of files, so this pays a full tree walk before each runner starts. Line 1252 already creates the directory with mode 0777, so only newly created entries need widening.

Consider dropping -R and adding the sticky bit, so one runner cannot delete another user's cached tool.

Rosetta install failures are silently swallowed on the non-root path.

run_as_root_or_sudo builds two branches. The sudo branch ends with || true, so any failure of dpkg --add-architecture, apt-get update, apt-get install, or the final test -f /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 returns exit code 0. The check at Line 1972 then never fires, and the golden is recorded as prepared without the amd64 loader. The official golden declares USER runner, so machine exec lands on a non-root user and this is the branch that runs.

Do not use run_as_root_or_sudo here. Propagate the guest exit code instead.

🛠️ Proposed fix
-    let script = run_as_root_or_sudo(
-        "set -e; \
+    let body = "set -e; \
          case \"$(uname -m)\" in \
-         sync; \
-         test -f /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",
-    );
+         sync; \
+         test -f /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2";
+    // Root runs it directly; a non-root exec elevates through sudo and keeps
+    // the exit code, so an apt or loader failure stays fatal.
+    use base64::Engine as _;
+    let encoded = base64::engine::general_purpose::STANDARD.encode(body);
+    let script = format!(
+        "if [ \"$(id -u)\" -eq 0 ]; then {body}; else \
+           printf %s '{encoded}' | base64 -d | sudo -n sh; fi"
+    );

In `@crates/preloop-orchestrator/src/lib.rs` around lines 1947 - 1978, Replace
run_as_root_or_sudo in the Rosetta multiarch installation flow with execution
that propagates the guest command’s actual exit code, including for the non-root
sudo path. Ensure failures from dpkg, apt-get, or the final loader test reach
the existing output.exit_code check so preparation fails when installation is
incomplete.

Follow-ups to the conformance campaign fixes (PR #151):

- docker: the krunfw guest kernel has fuse built in, but /dev boots as a
  plain tmpfs with no device nodes, so fuse-overlayfs (dockerd's fallback
  when its overlay probe fails) dies with 'fuse: device not found'. The
  hook now creates /dev/fuse when the kernel lists fuse, letting dockerd
  auto-pick fuse-overlayfs (CoW) — on this kernel dockerd's overlay2 probe
  mount gets EINVAL and overlay2 is never viable, so the earlier fix was
  falling back to vfs. vfs is now forced only when overlay fails AND fuse
  is absent.
- RLIMIT_NOFILE: 524288 instead of 1048576 — systemd's built-in hard
  default, which is what GitHub's runner service inherits (exact parity).
- guest PATH: cargo bin dir matches the runner user (/home/<user>/.cargo)
  instead of hardcoded /root/.cargo/bin, which the unprivileged runner
  cannot stat (nodejs/ci EACCES).
- multiarch shim: add libsystemd0:amd64 (valkey's x86_64 tarballs link
  libsystemd.so.0).

Verified live on the golden VM: hook creates /dev/fuse, dockerd 28.0.4
reports Storage Driver: fuse-overlayfs, and hello-world runs. 61
orchestrator tests pass.

The equal-version branch byte-compared the installed binary against the
release asset and reinstalled on any drift. That clobbered a source build
from newer main: main reports the same version string as the latest tag
(no bump between tag and HEAD), so a build carrying #149/#151/#164 was
treated as drift and replaced with the stale release binary every hour.

Embed the build commit (build.rs reads git rev-parse HEAD) and expose it
in 'preloop version'. The updater now compares commits via the GitHub
compare API when versions are equal:

- release commit is ahead of installed (installed is an ancestor — the
  v0.30.2 deaf-runner case) -> reinstall
- installed is at or beyond the release -> keep
- diverged history (release cut from a dist commit off main, or a local
  build) or unverifiable (no embedded commit) -> keep; never clobber a
  real build on an ambiguous comparison

Keeps the version-greater upgrade path and the version-less stop
unchanged. Drops the byte-compare and its tests; adds decision-mapping
tests for ahead/behind/identical/diverged/unknown.
