The check of #331 (build-1791984564984525209) planned the same three modules the walk moved (build-agent, mesh-controller, route-proxy), then logged built for the merge: 0 of 3 module(s). The mesh-controller go bundle failed with go.mod file not found, and the two modules after it were not built. Since issue 703 (060f2a9c), the check has built in os.MkdirTemp (/tmp/mesh-check-builds-*) inside the build-agent's container. The host's docker engine mounts that path as the host names it, which is an empty directory. The only directory shared with the host at the same path is the workspace (${dir:workspace}). Because every check build failed, the scratch namespace held nothing.
Fix: the builds' working copies are made in a directory the host's engine can see (forTheMerge, internal/builder/check.go). The clean copy of the merge stays outside the workspace, as issue 703 requires.
The builder's version is part of the reuse key, as the build-agent's executable digest. A merge that changes the build-agent therefore changes the key for any tier that is built after the new build-agent has rolled out. Those tiers are built again, and the walk says that the builder's version differs.
716 part 2: build at the same time
The modules of one tier are built at the same time (makeForTheMerge), each in its own working copy. The tiers still run in order, because a later tier stands on the builds of the tiers before it.
When the build agent has a judge cache (ADR 0358 §6, mesh-catalog#297), the builds run during the gate and merge-check.sh, in judge-cache/homes/<id>-builds. No container of the check mounts that directory. A check that does not pass lets go of these builds (settle), and a check that ends without a verdict does the same (abandon). Without a judge cache, the builds run after the check, in the workspace, as before. They cannot run during the tests there, because the tests mount the workspace (issue 703).
Log lines are written one at a time (mutex in mesh-builder's say and in Check's log).
716 part 1: no change needed
The planner already moves a module only when a file its build reads changes (the Go import closure). I checked this with the live delivery-plan verb:
A change only in cmd/mesh-controller moves mesh-controller alone.
internal/lease/lease.go moves all three, because go list -deps shows that cmd/mesh-builder and examples/route-proxy import internal/lease.
#331 changed internal/lease and internal/catalogue, so all three modules really did move.
Tests
TestReplay713TheWalkOfAControllerChangeTakesAllThreeFromItsCheck: a fake engine mounts only the shared workspace. Built as before, the check builds 0 of 3. Built now, it builds 3 of 3, and the walk takes each module from the check.
TestReplay716TheModulesOfATierAreBuiltAtTheSameTime: on main, buildForTheMerge builds one module after another, and the fake engine refuses that.
gofmt, go vet ./... and go test -race ./internal/builder ./cmd/mesh-builder pass.
Fixes novox/hq issue 713 and part of issue 716.
## 713: the walk built every module again
The check of #331 (build-1791984564984525209) planned the same three modules the walk moved (build-agent, mesh-controller, route-proxy), then logged `built for the merge: 0 of 3 module(s)`. The mesh-controller go bundle failed with `go.mod file not found`, and the two modules after it were not built. Since issue 703 (060f2a9c), the check has built in `os.MkdirTemp` (`/tmp/mesh-check-builds-*`) inside the build-agent's container. The host's docker engine mounts that path as the host names it, which is an empty directory. The only directory shared with the host at the same path is the workspace (`${dir:workspace}`). Because every check build failed, the scratch namespace held nothing.
Fix: the builds' working copies are made in a directory the host's engine can see (`forTheMerge`, internal/builder/check.go). The clean copy of the merge stays outside the workspace, as issue 703 requires.
The builder's version is part of the reuse key, as the build-agent's executable digest. A merge that changes the build-agent therefore changes the key for any tier that is built after the new build-agent has rolled out. Those tiers are built again, and the walk says that the builder's version differs.
## 716 part 2: build at the same time
- The modules of one tier are built at the same time (`makeForTheMerge`), each in its own working copy. The tiers still run in order, because a later tier stands on the builds of the tiers before it.
- When the build agent has a judge cache (ADR 0358 §6, mesh-catalog#297), the builds run during the gate and merge-check.sh, in `judge-cache/homes/<id>-builds`. No container of the check mounts that directory. A check that does not pass lets go of these builds (`settle`), and a check that ends without a verdict does the same (`abandon`). Without a judge cache, the builds run after the check, in the workspace, as before. They cannot run during the tests there, because the tests mount the workspace (issue 703).
- Log lines are written one at a time (mutex in mesh-builder's `say` and in `Check`'s log).
## 716 part 1: no change needed
The planner already moves a module only when a file its build reads changes (the Go import closure). I checked this with the live `delivery-plan` verb:
- A change only in `cmd/mesh-controller` moves mesh-controller alone.
- `internal/lease/lease.go` moves all three, because `go list -deps` shows that cmd/mesh-builder and examples/route-proxy import internal/lease.
#331 changed internal/lease and internal/catalogue, so all three modules really did move.
## Tests
- `TestReplay713TheWalkOfAControllerChangeTakesAllThreeFromItsCheck`: a fake engine mounts only the shared workspace. Built as before, the check builds 0 of 3. Built now, it builds 3 of 3, and the walk takes each module from the check.
- `TestReplay716TheModulesOfATierAreBuiltAtTheSameTime`: on main, `buildForTheMerge` builds one module after another, and the fake engine refuses that.

713: the walk built every module again
The check of #331 (build-1791984564984525209) planned the same three modules the walk moved (build-agent, mesh-controller, route-proxy), then logged
built for the merge: 0 of 3 module(s). The mesh-controller go bundle failed withgo.mod file not found, and the two modules after it were not built. Since issue 703 (060f2a9c), the check has built inos.MkdirTemp(/tmp/mesh-check-builds-*) inside the build-agent's container. The host's docker engine mounts that path as the host names it, which is an empty directory. The only directory shared with the host at the same path is the workspace (${dir:workspace}). Because every check build failed, the scratch namespace held nothing.Fix: the builds' working copies are made in a directory the host's engine can see (
forTheMerge, internal/builder/check.go). The clean copy of the merge stays outside the workspace, as issue 703 requires.The builder's version is part of the reuse key, as the build-agent's executable digest. A merge that changes the build-agent therefore changes the key for any tier that is built after the new build-agent has rolled out. Those tiers are built again, and the walk says that the builder's version differs.
716 part 2: build at the same time
makeForTheMerge), each in its own working copy. The tiers still run in order, because a later tier stands on the builds of the tiers before it.judge-cache/homes/<id>-builds. No container of the check mounts that directory. A check that does not pass lets go of these builds (settle), and a check that ends without a verdict does the same (abandon). Without a judge cache, the builds run after the check, in the workspace, as before. They cannot run during the tests there, because the tests mount the workspace (issue 703).sayand inCheck's log).716 part 1: no change needed
The planner already moves a module only when a file its build reads changes (the Go import closure). I checked this with the live
delivery-planverb:cmd/mesh-controllermoves mesh-controller alone.internal/lease/lease.gomoves all three, becausego list -depsshows that cmd/mesh-builder and examples/route-proxy import internal/lease.#331 changed internal/lease and internal/catalogue, so all three modules really did move.
Tests
TestReplay713TheWalkOfAControllerChangeTakesAllThreeFromItsCheck: a fake engine mounts only the shared workspace. Built as before, the check builds 0 of 3. Built now, it builds 3 of 3, and the walk takes each module from the check.TestReplay716TheModulesOfATierAreBuiltAtTheSameTime: on main,buildForTheMergebuilds one module after another, and the fake engine refuses that.TestReplay716TheBuildsRunBesideTheTestsAndAFailedCheckLetsGoOfThem.gofmt, go vet ./... and go test -race ./internal/builder ./cmd/mesh-builder pass.
