What does this PR do?

  • Adds an optional sandboxWarnings: string[] field to RunCommandOutputs for the Private Action Runner runCommand action.
  • Routes rshell sandbox diagnostics into that field instead of the action's stderr, by passing interp.WarningsWriter(io.Discard) and reading runner.Warnings() after interp.New(...).

Motivation

When AllowedPaths for runCommand contains a path that does not exist on the host (e.g. /var/log on Windows, C:\var\log on Linux), rshell emits a non-fatal AllowedPaths: skipping ... diagnostic during runner construction. Up to v0.0.13 the library flushed those diagnostics onto the runner's stderr writer, which the handler surfaced in RunCommandOutputs.Stderr — making every script execution look like a failure (non-empty stderr) even though ExitCode == 0.

DataDog/rshell#200 (in v0.0.14) decoupled sandbox diagnostics from the runner's stderr writer behind an opt-in WarningsWriter option and a Runner.Warnings() accessor. This PR adopts both.

Closes DataDog/rshell#191 on the agent side. The matching contract change in dd-source — additive sandboxWarnings?: string[] on RunCommandOutputs — is in DataDog/dd-source#423305.

Describe how you validated your changes

  • go build ./pkg/privateactionrunner/... — clean.
  • go test -count=1 ./pkg/privateactionrunner/bundles/remoteaction/rshell/... — all tests pass, including two new ones:
    • TestRunCommandSandboxWarningsKeepStderrClean: configures one valid + one missing AllowedPaths entry, runs echo hello, asserts Stderr is empty (no sandbox diagnostic leakage), and SandboxWarnings carries one AllowedPaths: skipping ... entry naming the missing path.
    • TestRunCommandSandboxWarningsNilWhenCleanConfig: a clean configuration must produce nil SandboxWarnings so the field is omitted from the JSON wire output.

Additional Notes

  • SandboxWarnings uses json:"sandboxWarnings,omitempty". Old PAR consumers that don't know about the field continue to deserialize the response unchanged.
  • interp.WarningsWriter(io.Discard) is the right choice here because we read messages back via the accessor — there's no value in also writing them to the runner's stderr buffer.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

When the AllowedPaths list configured for the runCommand action contains
a path that does not exist on the host (e.g. /var/log on Windows), rshell
emits a non-fatal "AllowedPaths: skipping" diagnostic during runner
construction. Until v0.0.13 those diagnostics flushed onto the runner's
stderr, which the handler then surfaced in RunCommandOutputs.Stderr —
making every script execution in the session look like a failure (non-
empty stderr) even though ExitCode was 0.

rshell v0.0.14 adds a dedicated WarningsWriter sink and a Warnings()
accessor (DataDog/rshell#200). Wire both:

- Pass interp.WarningsWriter(io.Discard) so sandbox diagnostics no
  longer fall through to the runner's stderr.
- Add SandboxWarnings []string to RunCommandOutputs (json:"sandboxWarnings,omitempty")
  and populate it from runner.Warnings() in the response. nil/empty when
  the sandbox configuration is clean, so the field is omitted from the
  wire output.

The dd-source contract change adding the field to the action manifest
is at DataDog/dd-source#423305.

Closes DataDog/rshell#191.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".
