- Updated CI workflows and GitHub actions to enhance Bazel cache keying, credential masking, and validation checks.
- Migrated dependency locking from Cargo.Bazel.lock to MODULE.bazel.lock using rules_rust crate_universe.
- Updated build configuration, documentation, and tooling scripts to reflect the lockfile and cache changes.
Four levers on top of the green pipeline:
- kata jobs pass --remote_download_toplevel, so fully cache-hit builds
stay metadata-only instead of pulling every intermediate artifact from
bazel-remote (the bulk of the previous 6-minute TS-only main runs).
- the xwin MSVC splat caches its ~1GiB CDN payload on the runner-cache
PVC (OMP_XWIN_CACHE_DIR), instead of re-downloading per ephemeral pod.
- main-push rust jobs export their bazel disk cache to the GitHub cache
(once per lockfile change, shared linux scope). GitHub only shares
default-branch caches across PRs, and main runs on kata where
actions/cache never saved — so every fresh PR was building cold.
- TS-only pull requests skip Rust validation entirely (gh pr diff path
gate); their test jobs restore addons from the main-exported cache.
Export runs disable top-level-only downloading: remote hits would
otherwise export action entries whose blobs were never materialized.
- Replaced the napi-cli/cargo-zigbuild/cargo-xwin/sccache build path with
Bazel: rules_rust + crate_universe over Cargo.lock, hermetic zig cc
toolchains (linux-gnu pinned to glibc 2.17, linux-musl), host Xcode for
darwin, and a repo-local hermetic clang-cl + llvm-ml + xwin toolchain for
windows-msvc (bazel/toolchains/msvc).
- All eight shipped addons build as //:natives-<target> via the release
transition in bazel/defs.bzl (opt, thin LTO, cgu=16, stripped, canonical
.node naming); scripts/bazel-natives.ts is the single driver for local
dev and CI.
- Rust validation moved to bazel test + clippy aspects (strict workspace
policy for opted-in crates, default lints elsewhere, mirroring cargo
semantics) and the rustfmt aspect; cargo stays as the dev-iteration
surface, with brush-core/brush-builtins promoted to workspace members
and excluded from cargo dev tasks to keep their historical scope.
- CI caches through an in-cluster bazel-remote action cache (TLS + basic
auth, cluster-internal only); GitHub-hosted runners never touch the
infrastructure and use an actions/cache-backed disk cache instead.
- Deleted the hand-rolled caching machinery: ci-target-cache,
ci-native-artifact-cache, ci-build-native, native-source-hash,
find-native-artifacts, restore-linux-native, native-prewarm workflow,
ensure-* toolchain actions, and all sccache/Swatinem wiring.
- Warm native rebuilds drop from ~20 minutes to seconds; a cold client
with a warm remote cache rebuilds the linux x64 pair in ~2.5 minutes.
