fix(mutate): sandbox gate builds away from shared GOCACHE - #1008
Conversation
Mutation builds flowed through the machine-shared GOCACHE, filling the disk with objects no other build reads, and the only shared-cache remedy (go clean -cache) destroys every other session's warm build state. Interrupted runs also left gremlins-* working copies and mutatediff-* report dirs in the system temp dir. mutatediff now pins its own environment before any child runs (the same seam budget.apply uses, and for the same reason — measureSuite's warming passes and the engine's coverage read must share one cache): - GOCACHE points at a dedicated persistent cache under the user cache dir. It must live outside the repo: gremlins copies the module root per worker with an unfiltered filepath.Walk, so an in-repo cache would be hauled into every working copy. Post-run, the cache is wiped only when it exceeds MUTATE_GOCACHE_CAP (MiB, env-only, default 4096, 0 = uncapped). - TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP point at a per-run root, so gremlins working copies, the report dir, and coverage scratch files all land in one tree that a deferred cleanup removes on success and failure alike. SIGKILL skips defers; the next run's startup sweep removes orphaned mutatediff-run-* roots older than 24h. The -coefficient and -merge paths stay unsandboxed: they serve make mutate-baseline, which runs in ephemeral CI runners. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

WalkthroughMutation runs now use a dedicated Go build cache and per-run temporary directory. The runner places reports in the sandbox, removes stale runs, cleans up after execution, and enforces an optional cache-size cap. Tests and documentation cover the behavior.

Lint path matching
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change isolates local mutation builds and cleans temporary artifacts, but the current implementation can still interfere with concurrent mutation runs, leave disk-consuming artifacts after cleanup failures, and break later in-process runs by not restoring temporary-directory settings. These bounded correctness and operational risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@Makefile`:
- Around line 139-141: Update the Makefile comment near the routine
cache-cleaning targets to accurately state that make mutate manages its
dedicated cache, retaining it unless it exceeds MUTATE_GOCACHE_CAP, rather than
claiming it cleans the cache.
In `@scripts/mutatediff/sandbox.go`:
- Around line 65-78: Update setupSandbox and setupSandboxAt to accept
context.Context as their first parameter, and pass the run context through both
calls. Check ctx cancellation before creating persistent or per-run directories,
returning the cancellation error without creating them; update all affected
callers accordingly.
- Around line 105-120: Update sandbox.cleanup to return a wrapped error when
removing the temporary root or over-cap build cache fails, while retaining its
diagnostic output. In run, defer cleanup so a cleanup error changes a successful
result to failure without overwriting an existing mutation failure; add coverage
for the cleanup-error exit path.
- Around line 100-104: Synchronize access to the shared gocache across mutation
runs: acquire an inter-process cache lock before child builds and retain it
through any cap-triggered os.RemoveAll eviction, releasing it during run
cleanup. Ensure concurrent runs cannot evict or use the cache simultaneously,
and add a lifecycle test covering overlapping runs and eviction.

Three findings applied: the Makefile clean-target comment now says the dedicated cache is managed under MUTATE_GOCACHE_CAP rather than cleaned every run; setupSandbox takes ctx first (package convention) and refuses to start a lifecycle on a canceled run; cleanup returns its failures and run flips a clean exit to failure when they occur — leaving the machine tidy is part of the gate's contract, and silent cleanup failure is the debris class this change exists to kill (real failure codes are never masked). Skipped (documented in-thread): inter-process lock around the cap wipe. Gate runs on one machine are serialized by convention; a cross-platform file lock in a dev tool buys little for its complexity, and the assumption is stated in the cleanup comment.

What
make mutatefilled the disk through the machine-shared GOCACHE, and the only shared-cache remedy (go clean -cache) destroys every session's warm builds; interrupted runs also leftgremlins-*/mutatediff-*debris in system temp. mutatediff now pins a dedicated persistent GOCACHE (outside the repo — gremlins' unfiltered per-worker copy would haul an in-repo cache into every working copy) plus a per-run temp root, cleans both on success and failure, sweeps SIGKILL orphans at startup, and wipes the cache only pastMUTATE_GOCACHE_CAP(MiB, default 4096, 0 = uncapped).Impact
None for CI —
mutate-baseline's-coefficient/-mergepaths stay unsandboxed by design. Localmake mutatepays a measured ~+10% after a cap wipe (7:07 cold vs 6:25 warm); the shared GOCACHE is no longer touched.Verification
Six on-chassis runs: isolation (3.0 GiB landed in the dedicated cache, shared cache +88 MB tool builds only), SIGINT mid-engine cleanup with result cache unpolluted, cap-fire wipe with gate verdict unaffected, and the timed cold/warm pair.
make mutatestructurally no-ops on this diff (scripts/is scope-excluded), so the sandbox unit tests plus that empirical set carry the proof.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
