target-prune's escalation drops target/**/incremental, which guarantees the next build is cold — and it then re-read free space and compared it against the warm floor again. So the one case the escalation exists for is the one case the surviving floor is certified against a basis the reclaim has just destroyed. Measured: a lap passed with ~6.2 GB free and died as rustc-LLVM ERROR: IO failure on output stream: No space left on device inside a test run, which reads as a suite regression rather than a full disk.

What changed

Basis moves with the reclaim. Escalating sets it to Cold, and the cold floor is what the run is then judged against; the report and the refusal both name which basis is in force and why.

Two floors, declared in [prune] with the measurement behind each — warm 6242 MB (2026-08-22, unchanged) and cold 14914 MB (target/debug built from nothing on this container, 2026-08-29). Both x1, for CLOUD-861's recorded reason and more strongly: 2 × 14914 exceeds the writable allowance outright, and a floor nothing can satisfy refuses every lap and gets switched off. Prune::validate decides mb == worst_mb * multiplier and the date shape at config load — what the predecessor's runtime regex over its own source was reaching for, one tier earlier.

Why it is a port rather than an edit

The repair could not be made in mise-tasks/target-prune.sh: V-SHELL-RULE-EDITED refuses an in-place edit with no override and no bypass_env, and its sole declared route is R-PORT-AND-RETIRE.

So the program is retired into crates/batten/src/prune.rs behind batten target prune -yEffect::Destructive on Surface::VerifyOnly, beside capture prune, which has carried that class for months. House-style §5's read-only promise is about the mediated call; VerifyOnly is the surface that exists for an effectful verb the hook can never reach. The task name mise run target-prune is unchanged, so verify's body and the frozen mise-tasks/land.sh need no edit and stay out of the changed-file set — the same thing that held #730's retirements to one program each.

The floors live in batten.toml rather than the crate because how many megabytes a rebuild of this workspace writes is a consumer fact (non-negotiable rule 1).

Verification

crates/batten/tests/target_prune.rs, over the compiled binary — a Prune { .. } literal in a unit test fabricates the very shape the config loader might be unable to produce, which is .claude/rules/policy-modules.md's second-tier argument applied to a config-fed predicate. It earned that on the first run twice:

  • run_target resolved the repository root, so every fixture read the enclosing repository's [prune] table instead of its own — the fixture declared 6000 MB and the run reported 6242. A unit test could not have seen it.
  • drop_incremental returned megabytes and the caller escalated on > 0, so a cache under 1 MB was deleted and then reported as an escalation that never happened, leaving the run judged against the warm floor after a reclaim that had already made the next build cold. CLOUD-1030's own defect, one layer down, via an integer division. The escalation now turns on caches removed.

The cases:

  • Discriminating — readings 5000,9000 with a cache present. The escalation runs, 9000 clears the warm floor (what the predecessor compared against, and passed) and not the cold one, so the repaired reading refuses.
  • Anti-vacuity7000, nothing breached, passes and never escalates. Without it the fix degenerates to "always judge against the cold floor", which refuses every ordinary lap.
  • Plus CLOUD-861's escalation pair, the retention rule, the output contract, the fresh-clone path, and four config-load cases.

TARGET_PRUNE_FREE_MB (CLOUD-778's seam) widens to a comma-separated sequence — the readings a run takes, in order, last repeating. A single value makes the escalation's second reading equal the first by construction, so the discriminating case is not expressible without it; every existing single-valued caller means exactly what it meant.

The retirement ledger in that file's header accounts for all 27 predecessor cases: 14 carried, 11 subsumed (six shell-parser assertions clap now owns, three budget-comment self-parses the config loader now owns, two worktree-recovery cases), 1 withdrawn, the rest changed with reasons — including could-not-look moving from the predecessor's exit 2 to the engine's exit 3, since house-style §6–§7 reserves 2 for a violation with no per-verb exception.

It fired on itself

First real run on this container: escalated, moved to the cold basis, and refused at 8476 MB free against the 14914 MB cold floor — where the predecessor would have passed, 8476 being comfortably above 6242. That is the discriminating case in production rather than in a fixture, and reclaiming the tree was what let this branch verify at all.

Acceptance criterion 4 is refuted, not met

Both floors are taken against the quantity that binds — the session's writable allowance — rather than the device free space df reports.

The clause rests on "two budgets read from df are both read from a quantity that cannot refuse." That is false here, and it was probed rather than reasoned about. With df reporting 3419 MB available, fallocate allocated 2735 MB successfully and failed at 10257 MB with No space left on device. df's number binds: the allocation succeeded below it and failed above it.

The single observation behind the clause (21041 MB free printed during an active ENOSPC) is a concurrent run consuming space between two readings — a staleness defect, not a wrong-quantity one, and the same class the issue body itself identifies as what a pre-flight comparison cannot catch. That residual is a different mechanism and a different row. Full evidence is on the issue.


CLOUD-1136 — the trust refusal that reddened every PR

This rides along because it is what was blocking the PR from going green, and it blocks every other PR in the repository the same way.

fastq@1.20.2 was published 2026-08-28 without the SLSA provenance its 1.20.0 and 1.20.1 predecessors carry, so aube's no-downgrade trust policy refused the whole npm:renovate graph and every ci job died in tool install, before compiling a line — on a commit that had not moved.

Reviewed before excluding, on the terms the comment beside the existing entries sets:

1.20.1 1.20.2
publisher GitHub Actions, trusted publisher via OIDC matteo.collina — sole listed maintainer
attestations SLSA provenance absent
gitHead be305967… 4cdcc374ad2f2a606686ab9c8c5cf9ebec05ec03
repository mcollina/fastq mcollina/fastq — unchanged
signing key SHA256:DhQ8wR5APBvFHLF/+Tc+AYvPOdTpcIDqOhxsBHRwC7U same

mcollina/fastq's v1.20.2 tag points at exactly 4cdcc374…. The difference between the two publishes is how, not who: 1.20.1 went through the repository's Actions OIDC flow, which minted its provenance; 1.20.2 was published by hand, which mints none. That is verbatim the benign case aube's refusal text names, and the same shape as the @yarnpkg precedent already recorded in mise.toml.

A version-scoped exception is the documented remedy, not a fallback. mise's npm backend spells out this exact procedure under "Investigating trust downgrades": inspect the release, source tag/commit, publisher identity and tarball against npmjs.org; determine whether the maintainer published manually or outside the trusted workflow; report inconsistent evidence upstream; and "prefer version-scoped exceptions after review". Those are the four steps above, in order.

A release-age cooldown would defend the class rather than this package, and the backend exposes no such option — exactly seven tool options exist (allow_builds, trust_policy_excludes, allow_low_downloads and the four *_args) and none is a quarantine. aube_args is documented as applying only when npm.package_manager = "aube_cli", so it cannot carry one without changing which package manager resolves the tree; whether aube_cli could is untested and left open rather than guessed at. MISE_MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE governs which tool version is selected rather than aube's transitive resolution.

(Corrected: an earlier revision of this paragraph claimed aube_args was "not plumbed", said so on the strength of a bogus flag raising no error, and called that established rather than inferred. aube_args takes a string and I passed an array, so that probe tested a malformed option and settled nothing.)

The npm:renovate bump to 44.50.3 is not the fix either, and that is measured rather than assumed: 44.50.3 fails on the identical fastq@1.20.2, because fastq arrives under a caret range no top-level pin governs. It earns its place anyway — the tree drops from 1113 transitive packages to 738, and @yarnpkg/core@4.4.4 is retired here, because re-testing showed 44.50.3 resolves clean without it while dropping @yarnpkg/libzip@3.2.2 still fails. A waiver nobody re-checks is a waiver nobody is reviewing.

mise.lock carries only the renovate entry. A full mise lock also swept in node 24.19.0 → 24.20.0 and cargo-zigbuild 0.23.0 → 0.23.2 from the range pins — the currency question lock-currency runs on a clock, not this commit's to answer.

The standing defect this exposed, recorded on CLOUD-1136 and not fixed here: mise.lock records this tool as a version, a backend and its options — no url, no checksum, no dependency tree, unlike node and rust which carry a per-platform checksum and url. All ~738 transitive packages re-resolve from the registry on every install, so any upstream publish can redden CI on a commit that did not move. Freezing that tree is its own change with its own ecosystem consequences.

CLOUD-1030 `target-prune`'s escalation guarantees a cold build, but the floor it defends is budgeted from a warm lap — the reclaim invalidates the basis that certified it

Why

CLOUD-861 is Done, and CLOUD-475 settles that a finding against a Done row is stranded there — so this is a new row rather than a reopen. It is also a failure mode 861 did not carry: 861's second-session note observed that x2 became x1 and recorded that the comment does not say whether that was deliberate. It is deliberate, the comment now says so, and the reason it gives is self-defeating. That contradiction is this row.

The defect, in the two lines that state it

mise-tasks/target-prune.sh:

FLOOR_MB=6242 # budget: worst-lap=6242mb x1 measured=2026-08-22

The file's own comment explains the missing safety factor: x2 (12.5 GB) exceeds this container's entire writable allowance, so the factor was moved to the escalation — the branch that drops the ~3.8 GB incremental cache when free space lands below the floor.

But worst-lap measures a warm lap, and the escalation guarantees the next lap is cold. Dropping incremental is precisely the act that makes the following build a full rebuild. So the floor is certified against a basis the reclaim it depends on has just destroyed: the escalation buys headroom now and enlarges the very demand the headroom was sized against.

This is not the precondition-versus-invariant defect 861 named (that one is about when the floor is checked). It is about what number the floor is, and it survives any amount of re-checking: a cold lap measured against a warm budget is under-provisioned at every phase boundary.

The measurement, this session

lap what happened
v20 refused below the floor — correct
rm -rf target/debug by hand reclaimed 15 G
v21 passed, 8034 MB free
v22 cold rebuild → rustc-LLVM ERROR: IO failure on output stream: No space left on device

Warm sizes measured after a completed build on the same container: target/ 5335 MB, target/debug 1632 MB. A warm lap therefore sits comfortably inside 6242 MB — which is exactly why the number reads as safe and is not.

The exhaustion also cost more than a lap here: a record in the session transcript was torn, and batten's transcript reader then failed closed on it — correctly — so verify could write no receipt for the rest of the session. The writer and its framing are CLOUD-1032's; what belongs here is that a lost lap became a lost session.

The floor measures the wrong quantity — and this is the stronger form of the row

Measured after this row was filed, and it makes the case sharper than the warm/cold contradiction alone.

/tmp, the session transcript and the repo are one filesystem/dev/vda, ext4, mounted at / — and df reports 252 G with 20 G available on it. The limit that actually binds is the fixed per-session writable allowance, which df cannot see.

So at 17:45:47 the v23 lap's target-prune printed 21,041 MB free (floor 6242MB) while the v22 run in flight was accumulating 295 ENOSPC events on that same filesystem (rustc-LLVM ERROR: IO failure on output stream, mkdir: cannot create directory '/tmp/bats-run-oPBR8l/...'). The floor certified 3.4× its own value of headroom during an active exhaustion.

That is worse than a stale constant, because it cannot be fixed by choosing a better number: **two budgets read from **df are both read from a quantity that cannot refuse.

Second reproduction, 2026-08-28/29 (CLOUD-935's land) — and land's own lapping is a third cold-build generator

Six consecutive mise run land attempts on one branch, every failure disk. Independent of the escalation, and it sharpens the row: the escalation is not the only thing that guarantees a cold build.

land's rebase voids the step receipts, so every lap after the first is cold. The receipts are content-addressed on input blobs, so a rebase that brings in one unrelated main commit invalidates test:cargo — and test:cargo is where the disk goes. Measured on this container:

tree size
target/debug/deps (nextest binaries) 11 GB
target/debug total ~14 GB
target/ total, all arches warm ~17 GB
non-target baseline (/usr, /opt, .rustup, .local, .cargo) ~20 GB
writable allowance ~37 GB

So a cold verify peaks at roughly the allowance, and there is no arrangement of pruning that fits it — target-prune reported 16,536 MB free (floor 6242 MB) at lap start and the lap still died at 96 MB.

The failure is self-reinforcing under load: lap 1's verify completed, main moved during it, land lapped correctly (CLOUD-318's design working), the rebase voided the receipt, and lap 2 rebuilt 11 GB from cold into a tree that could not hold it. The busier main is, the more certain the exhaustion — which is the opposite of what a landing loop should degrade like.

CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 was tried and is not sufficient: it removes the ~3.8 GB the escalation targets, and deps is the term that actually binds.

The sequence that did land it, which is a workaround rather than a fix

git fetch origin main && git rebase origin/main   # rebase FIRST, so the receipt is minted on the head land will use
mise run test:cargo                               # records the receipt — ~105 s, 2716 tests
rm -rf target/debug/deps target/debug/incremental # 11 GB; the receipt is keyed on inputs, not artifacts
mise run land                                     # verify hits the receipt and never rebuilds them

That landed PR #732 in one lap. It works only while main stays still between the rebase and land starting, so it is a race rather than a remedy — but it is the only route found in six attempts, and it is not documented anywhere a next session would look.

What this adds to the acceptance

The existing acceptance is about the floor being taken against the binding quantity. This adds that the cold-build budget has to be reachable at all: on a container where a cold verify cannot fit under any pruning, refusing at the floor is correct but leaves the branch unlandable, and the loop retries into the same wall. A refusal that names this — as distinct from "reclaim and try again", which land currently prints and which cannot work here — would have saved five of the six attempts. land's message is otherwise exemplary: it says "This is the environment, NOT this branch" and it is right.


Refinement — Ready

Refinement gate: Definition of Ready & Done. This body carries only specializations.

  • Source of truth (§1). mise-tasks/target-prune.sh stays the one place the floor, its budget comment and the reclaim policy live — CLOUD-861 §1, unchanged. A second declared budget is a second line in that file, not a second authority.
  • Computable predicate (§2). After the escalation runs, free space is compared against a cold-build budget parsed from its own declared comment, and the lap refuses rather than proceeds when it is short. Two numbers, one df, no judgement.
  • Effect (§3). Task-runner only. No verb, no crate surface.
  • Output & exit (§5). Pointer-only: the phase name, bytes free, and which of the two floors is in force. Never a listing from the build tree.
  • Commit / bump (§6). ci(target-prune) — no bump. Not fix: below 0.1.0 a fix implies a patch and ready-lint refuses the pair as bump-disagrees-with-type. Nothing here is crate source, so no release moves.
  • Test obligation (§7). Shown able to fail (CLOUD-418), and cheap because the precedent exists: tests/target-prune.bats:231 already raises the floor above any real volume's free space through TARGET_PRUNE_BUDGET, so the cold-basis refusal is exercisable with no disk to fill. The discriminating case is a fixture that escalates and then finds itself under the cold floor, asserting the refusal. Anti-vacuity twin: a tree already above the warm floor neither escalates nor refuses — otherwise the fix degenerates to "always refuse after a reclaim", which stops every lap that follows one.
  • Blockers (§8). None. relatedTo CLOUD-861 (the Done row this specializes), CLOUD-766 (the original class), CLOUD-778 (the suite's hermeticity), CLOUD-1029 (the evidence substrate this exhaustion corrupted).

Acceptance

  • Two budgets are declared and parsed, warm and cold, each with its own measured date; neither is a scaled version of the other.
  • The floor is re-evaluated after the escalation against the cold budget, and a short lap refuses rather than proceeding into a rebuild it cannot fit.
  • A lap that never escalates is unchanged in cost and outcome.
  • Both floors are taken against the quantity that binds — the session's writable allowance — rather than the device free space df reports.

Filed from bundle G's session, which lost a lap and then a session to this. Search receipt minted (20 rows seen).

CLOUD-1059 Refuse migrations that retain touched shell rules or Bats suites

This is a hard prerequisite for migrations that touch shell guards, including CLOUD-1050 and CLOUD-1051.

Refinement — Ready

Source of truth (§1). The authoritative changed-file set is the merge-base diff against origin/main; the authoritative successor ledger is the committed retires_with/conserves mapping established by CLOUD-908. This issue adds no second manifest and no hand-maintained shell inventory.

Computable predicate (§2). A Rego policy consumes the changed-file set and retirement ledger. For every changed authored shell rule (mise-tasks/** with a shell shebang or #MISE description=) and every changed tests/**/*.bats suite, it requires: (1) deletion at head, (2) exactly one carried, subsumed, or changed successor mapping, and (3) a successor that names a Rego/Rust policy surface and compiled-binary test. It refuses an added authored shell rule, an edited-in-place rule, a retained changed Bats suite, a missing mapping, or a duplicate mapping. Generated artifacts—including Batten completions—are excluded by path and are never treated as authored shell rules.

Effect (§3). read. The policy is evaluated through batten policy test and a dedicated policy row wired into hk and CI; it adds no shell command, shell fixture, or fallback parser. Before choosing deny, replay the predicate over git rev-list origin/main and record commits examined, firings, and false positives.

Generated artifacts (§4). Any policy-input schema change is generated by mise run schema and checked by mise run schema-check and mise run derived-check.

Output & exit (§5). Findings are pointer-only (path, mapping key, and failure class). Exit 0 means conforming input, 1 malformed migration metadata, 2 migration-policy violation, and 3 internal evaluation failure.

Commit / bump (§6). feat(policy) → patch until 0.1.0.

Test obligation (§7). Compiled-binary fixtures prove: deleted-and-mapped passes; edited-in-place rule fails; retained Bats suite fails; added shell rule fails; missing mapping fails; duplicate mapping fails; and an unrelated untouched shell file does not affect the result. A conforming migration passes, preventing a vacuous refusal.

Blockers (§8). None. This blocks CLOUD-910 and the shell-touching work in 1050/1051. It complements, rather than duplicates, surface-counting in CLOUD-929 and its repair CLOUD-1058, deletion conservation in 908/909, and the campaign work in 843.
Enforce the retirement boundary for migrated guard rules: authored mise-tasks/** shell rules and their Bats suites may not be modified or retained by a migration. Generated Batten completions and other derived artifacts are explicitly out of scope.

Implement this as a Rego policy over the changed-file set and migration manifest. For each touched authored shell rule or Bats suite, require a deletion plus a carried, subsumed, or changed mapping to its Rust/Rego replacement and compiled-binary test. Reject a change that adds a shell rule, changes one in place, or leaves a touched shell rule/Bats suite at head.

The policy must run through the existing policy/hk/CI path. It is read-only and uses the standard exit contract. Test with fixtures for a deleted-and-mapped rule, an edited shell rule, an added shell rule, and a missing replacement mapping.

This is a hard prerequisite for migrations that touch shell guards, including CLOUD-1050 and CLOUD-1051.

CLOUD-766 `target/deps` retains a full artifact set per build hash and nothing prunes it, so a multi-lap session runs out of disk — and the exhaustion is reported as a test failure

Measured 2026-08-20, twice in one session, each time costing a land lap.

target/ reached 26 GB against a session allowance that reports full at ~38 GB used. Broken down at file granularity rather than directory granularity — which is the reading that finds it:

files over 40 MB in target/debug/deps 283
their total 16.6 GB — 72% of target/, ~47% of the whole allowance
distinct integration-test stems ~41
copies retained per stem 6 (batten itself: 22)
reclaimable with no rebuild cost 13.2 GB across 237 files

Timestamps on one stem, taken while all three were resident:

cli-33be8c9df7d95b8e   63 MB   15:09
cli-33a61db90f811d12   63 MB   15:26
cli-0b8ecd3ddab7fc05   36 MB   21:49

The mechanism. Cargo keys every artifact on a metadata hash and never reclaims a superseded one. A land lap rebases, which mints a new SHA, which changes the hash, which writes a fresh ~100 MB copy of every integration test binary while all previous copies stay. Six copies is six distinct build configurations across three issues landed in one session.

A ~100 MB test binary is the right size for a debug binary, and none of this is a complaint about it. Dev builds carry debug info because backtraces on a local failure are the entire point of the profile. The defect is not what one copy costs — it is that six are kept. Said explicitly because the size is the first thing a reader notices, and it is the wrong thread to pull.

So the growth is ~1.5–2 GB per lap, monotonic, and the landing loop's own design — rebase every lap, re-verify every lap, because a rebase invalidates the receipts — is what drives it. Nothing in the repo bounds it, and mise run verify is therefore not repeatably runnable in a single session.

This is a defect this repository owns, not a property of cargo to work around. The workflow contract says local execution is free, and that is what makes verifying exhaustively before CI discipline rather than indulgence. It is not free if the third verify of a session cannot run.

The second half, which is what actually cost the time

Exhaustion does not surface as a disk problem. It surfaces as a test failure:

rustc-LLVM ERROR: IO failure on output stream: No space left on device
# bats warning: Executed 61 instead of expected 2181 tests
::error:: land: verify failed on 7b889d7 (exit 1). Reproduce and fix locally;
          CI is not where you discover this.

That message sends the author after a defect in their own diff that does not exist — CLOUD-727's class, from a different cause. The No space left on device line is present but buried inside a rustc invocation dump, below a bats count mismatch that reads like a suite regression.

Mechanism

Two parts, because they fix two different failures. Both are pure functions of the filesystem.

  1. mise run target-prune — for each artifact stem under target/**/deps, keep the newest K (K=2, so the previous build stays warm for a rebase that reverts) and delete the rest, reporting bytes reclaimed. Deterministic given the tree, no network, no build. Called by land at the top of each lap and available by hand.
  2. A declared headroom floor, checked before verify spends anything. Below the floor, prune first; still below, refuse with a pointer naming free bytes and the floor — so exhaustion is a named refusal at the cheapest possible moment, never a rustc error inside a test run. This is timeout-check and mcp-timeout-budget's shape (CLOUD-266) applied to the one budget nobody had looked at: the floor carries the measurement that justifies it, and the arithmetic is asserted.

Rejected

  • cargo clean when full. What I did by hand twice, and it is why the disk refilled: it deletes caches that regrowincremental (6.8 GB) and the cross-target dirs (4 GB) — forcing a full rebuild that costs a lap and re-consumes the space. The 13.2 GB of superseded artifacts, which never regrow once deleted, is the correct target and is a strict subset of what clean removes.
  • Shrink the artifacts — by lowering the dev profile's debug info, or otherwise. Listed only to rule it out: it lowers a constant while the growth stays monotonic, so it moves the wall later rather than removing it, and it pays for that with every backtrace an author reads. Degrading local debuggability to buy a few more laps is a bad trade in both directions.
  • CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0. Addresses incremental, which is 628 MB after a prune and was never the bulk. Wrong target.
  • Leave it to the operator. The measured cost of that is this session: two exhaustions, two wasted laps, and a diagnosis that blamed the author's diff both times.

Refinement — Ready (prune superseded artifacts per lap; make exhaustion a refusal, not a test failure)

Refinement gate: Definition of Ready & Done. This body carries only specializations.

  • Source of truth (§1). The tree under target/ as it stands, plus a floor declared beside the value it bounds in mise-tasks/target-prune, in timeout-check's existing budget-comment form. No second table and no state file: a fact that can drift from the value it describes without failing is the second authority non-negotiable rule 6 warns about.
  • Computable predicate (§2). mise run target-prune → exit code. Keep the newest K per stem, delete the rest, report the count and bytes. verify calls it, then asserts free space against the declared floor. Both resolve to a command and an exit status over bytes on disk, never a model verdict. Gate: mise run test:bats.
  • Effect (§3). A new task, not a new batten verb — this is workshop machinery over the build directory, and the engine stays repo-agnostic (non-negotiable rule 1). It deletes files, so it is write-bearing and stays off the read-only allowlist.
  • Output & exit (§5). Pointer-only per non-negotiable rule 4: a file count, bytes reclaimed, free bytes and the floor. Never a path listing, which would be unbounded. Exit 0 pruned or nothing to prune / 1 below the floor after pruning / 2 could not look (no target/, unreadable).
  • Commit / bump (§6). fix(toolchain)patch until 0.1.0 (DoR §6: below 0.1.0 release-plz bumps the patch whatever the type says).
  • Test obligation (§7). tests/target-prune.bats over a fixture tree: K copies of a stem survive and the K+1th is deleted; a stem with fewer than K copies is untouched; a non-deps path is never considered; an absent target/ is exit 2, not a silent pass; the report names counts and never a path; and the floor check refuses after pruning rather than before, so a prunable tree is never refused. A #MUTANT row dropping the K-retention makes the survives-row red, and one dropping the floor comparison makes the refusal row red.
  • Blockers (§8). None. relatedTo CLOUD-266 (the budget-carries-its-measurement rule this discharges), CLOUD-727 (the misattributed-failure class this second half belongs to), CLOUD-699 (the other way a stale target/ decides a verdict), CLOUD-352 (build duration as the throughput ceiling — the same resource, measured on the other axis).

Acceptance

  • A session can run mise run verify repeatedly without manual intervention; target/ does not grow monotonically across laps.
  • Exhaustion, if it still occurs, is a refusal naming free bytes and the floor — never a rustc error inside a test run, and never reported by land as the author's diff.
  • Pruning removes only artifacts that will not be rebuilt as a consequence: the caches cargo clean would take are untouched.
  • The floor carries the measurement justifying it, and the arithmetic is asserted.

Provenance. Found by running out of disk twice while landing CLOUD-730, CLOUD-741 and CLOUD-733. The first two remedies were mine and both were wrong: I read du at directory granularity, deleted the two largest directories, and missed that the waste was 2.5× larger and sitting in files inside a directory I never opened.

CLOUD-861 `target-prune` checks the disk floor once per lap, before the phase that exhausts it — and its own budget comment is falsified by 3x

Why

CLOUD-766 shipped target-prune against exactly this class and is Done. Measured 2026-08-21, the class recurs. Both halves of that row's title were true again — the disk fills mid-lap, and the exhaustion was reported as a test failure.

Scope narrowed 2026-08-21. The second half is fixed and landing in PR #626 (ci(land): a full disk is the environment, not a verdict on this tree): land now classifies ENOSPC and names the reclaim instead of saying "reproduce and fix locally". Two bats cases, the discriminating one red without it. What remains on this row is the floor, and it lives entirely in mise-tasks/target-prune. The diagnosis half is kept below as the evidence that produced the measurement, not as open work.

Filed as its own row rather than as a comment on CLOUD-766 because CLOUD-475 settled that a finding against a Done row is stranded there.

The measurement

One mise run land lap, this container:

target-prune: 0 superseded artifact(s) removed, 0MB reclaimed, 6242MB free (floor 4096MB)
   ... verify → cargo test ...
rustc-LLVM ERROR: IO failure on output stream: No space left on device
::error:: land: verify failed on 9a3e3ef (exit 1). Reproduce and fix locally;
          CI is not where you discover this.

df afterwards: 96M available, 100% used. The prune passed with 6242MB against a 4096MB floor, and the cargo test build inside the same lap consumed all 6GB.

Defect 1 — the floor is a precondition, never an invariant

target-prune runs once, at lap start, and answers "is there enough room to begin?" Nothing re-checks during the phase that actually consumes the disk. So the floor is structurally unable to catch a build whose growth exceeds the headroom the check just certified — which is not an edge case here, it is the normal shape of a cargo test link step after a rebase onto 14 commits.

The check is not wrong, it is in the wrong place: a precondition where an invariant is needed. Either the floor has to account for the build about to run (headroom, not free space), or the prune has to be reachable from inside the phase that exhausts.

Where the space actually was, after the failure, all of it rebuildable:

path size
target/debug/incremental 3.8G
target/semver-checks 1.3G
target/perf 401M
stale /tmp/bats-run-* ~470M

Deleting those returned 5.9GB. target-prune's own predicate — superseded artifacts — reclaimed 0MB while 3.8G of incremental cache sat there, because incremental state is not superseded by anything; it is simply unbounded. That is the gap in one line.

Defect 2 — the diagnosis was wrong (FIXED, PR #626)

CLOUD-766's title already names this: "the exhaustion is reported as a test failure." It still is. land said "verify failed … Reproduce and fix locally; CI is not where you discover this" — advice that is correct for a real failure and actively misleading for this one. There is nothing to reproduce and nothing in the diff to fix.

Same shape as CLOUD-811 ("reports every failure as a linearity verdict, so a stale toolchain stopped a landing under a message about main"): a task attributing every non-zero exit to the thing it is about. ENOSPC is distinguishable — rustc-LLVM ERROR: IO failure on output stream: No space left on device is a literal, and df is one call — so this is a classification a gate can make, not a judgement.

The floor's own budget comment is falsified, and by 3x

mise-tasks/target-prune carries its justification inline, in the form the repo requires:

FLOOR_MB=4096 # budget: worst-lap=2048mb x2 measured=2026-08-20

So the floor is twice the worst lap anyone had measured — a day before this. This lap consumed 6242MB, three times that worst-lap figure and half again the floor derived from it. The doubling was not too small a safety factor; the number it doubled was wrong.

That matters more than picking a bigger constant: the comment is the mechanism that makes the floor auditable, and a stale measurement inside it reads exactly like a fresh one. Whatever this row lands, worst-lap has to be re-measured rather than scaled.

Why it is worth a row

The container exhausted its disk three times in one session. Each cost a full lap: a rebase, a partial verify, and a wrong diagnosis to read past. At the fleet's measured cadence a lost lap is ~15-20 minutes of a fleet-wide lease that only one branch can hold.


Refinement — Ready

Refinement gate: Definition of Ready & Done. This body carries only specializations.

  • Source of truth (§1). mise-tasks/target-prune is the one place the floor, its budget comment, and the reclaim policy live, and stays so. A second component deciding "is the disk full" would be the drift CLOUD-350 measured on required checks.

  • Computable predicate (§2). After a lap that ran a full verify, free space never fell below the floor — decidable from df at phase boundaries, no judgement. (The former (b), the ENOSPC classification, shipped in PR ci(fast-forward): anchor the comment trigger and refuse a draft head #626 and is no longer part of this row.)

  • Effect (§3). Task-runner only. No verb, no crate surface.

  • Output & exit (§5). Pointer-only: the phase name, bytes free, and the floor. Never a path listing from the build tree.

  • Commit / bump (§6). ci(target-prune) — no bump. Not fix: below 0.1.0 a fix implies a patch, and ready-lint refuses the pair as bump-disagrees-with-type. Nothing here is crate source — mise-tasks/target-prune and land's failure attribution are task-runner files — so no release moves.

  • Test obligation (§7). Shown able to fail (CLOUD-418).

    Corrected 2026-08-22: the CLOUD-778 blocker asserted here was never tested, and it is false. This clause said a floor case "cannot discriminate at all today" and told the next reader to fix CLOUD-778 first. One look at the suite disproves it: the floor is read from the budget line through TARGET_PRUNE_BUDGET, and the suite's own comment says "a fixture can raise it above any real volume's free space and exercise the refusal without filling a disk"tests/target-prune.bats:231 already does exactly that. CLOUD-778 is real and stays open, but it blocks nothing here.

    So the cases are cheap and there is no sequencing debt: the escalation is exercised by a fixture carrying an incremental directory and a floor raised above real free space, asserting the escalation runs and the refusal does not. Anti-vacuity twin: a tree ALREADY above the floor keeps its incremental, or the fix is just "always delete the cache", which costs a full rebuild every lap.

  • Blockers (§8). None. relatedTo CLOUD-766 (the Done row whose class this is), CLOUD-778 (the suite that cannot discriminate a disk claim), CLOUD-811 (the same misattribution shape in linear-check).

Acceptance

  • A lap whose build would breach the floor reclaims or refuses before the build, rather than certifying headroom it then consumes.
  • incremental is inside whatever the reclaim considers — it was 3.8G, and superseded reclaimed 0MB against it.
  • FLOOR_MB's budget comment names a worst-lap figure no observed lap exceeds, or the figure moves.

Filed from bundle B's session, which lost a lap to this. Search receipt minted (20 rows seen).

2026-08-22, second session — the floor moved as acceptance §3 asked, and is breached again; §2 looks satisfied

Two more exhaustions in one session, on a container running the bash-retirement sweep. Taken against the three acceptance bullets rather than as a fresh report.

§2 (incremental inside the reclaim) — appears SATISFIED, observed twice

The row's evidence was superseded reclaiming 0MB while 3.8G of incremental sat there. The escalation now reaches it, both times:

target-prune: 61 superseded artifact(s) removed, 5364MB reclaimed, 5303MB free (floor 6242MB)
target-prune: escalated below the floor — 5354MB of incremental cache dropped, 10525MB free

target-prune: 58 superseded artifact(s) removed, 5011MB reclaimed, 4952MB free (floor 6242MB)
target-prune: escalated below the floor — 2439MB of incremental cache dropped, 7335MB free

So the gap this row named in one line is closed. Recorded as observation, not as a claim about which change closed it — that was not traced.

§3 (the budget comment) — the figure MOVED, and the safety factor was removed with it

FLOOR_MB=4096 # budget: worst-lap=2048mb x2 measured=2026-08-20   <- as this row recorded it
FLOOR_MB=6242 # budget: worst-lap=6242mb x1 measured=2026-08-22   <- as it stands now

The row asked that the figure move rather than be scaled, and it did. But x2 became x1: the floor is now exactly the worst observed lap, so a lap merely equalling the worst breaches it by construction. The original 4096 at least carried a doubling; this does not. Whether that is deliberate is not recorded in the comment, which is the surface this row says must stay auditable.

§1 (precondition, not invariant) — still fails, twice

Both exhaustions have the row's exact shape: prune certified headroom at lap start, the build inside the same window consumed it, and the exhaustion surfaced as compile and bats failures rather than as a disk fault:

tee: /tmp/tmp.T75SMAAJXn: No space left on device
error: could not compile `batten` (test "cli") due to 1 previous error
mkdir: cannot create directory '/tmp/bats-run-fmKIFX/test/635': No space left on device

What is measured and what is not. The prune left 10,525MB free at 04:13, and df read 64K available, 100% used at 06:35. That interval is NOT one lap — it spans a full mise run fmt (which runs the whole gate, CLOUD-681), a verify, and two land invocations. So it is not evidence that a single lap consumes 10.5GB, and this row should not be read as claiming that. What it does establish is narrower and still decisive for §1: a floor certified at more than 1.6x its own value was exhausted before the next lap completed.

One datapoint the row's table does not have: target/semver-checks was 2.6G here against the 1.3G recorded, and target/debug alone was 14G. Dropping semver-checks by hand returned 2.4GB — rebuildable, outside superseded, and outside the incremental escalation, so it is a third category the reclaim currently does not consider.

Cost, in this session's own terms

Two laps lost. The second failed with land: still not linear after 2 laps, each of which bought a CI matrix — so the disk fault also consumed the lap budget that message is written against, and the branch was linear the whole time. The two failures compound: the exhaustion costs a lap, and the lost lap is then attributed to main moving.

CLOUD-778 `tests/target-prune.bats` claims hermeticity but reads the host's real free space, so a full disk reports as a gate whose suite cannot discriminate

Why

tests/target-prune.bats opens by claiming its own hermeticity:

Every case builds its own tree. Nothing here touches the repository's real target/, which would make the suite's verdict depend on how recently someone ran a build.

The prune arm honours that. The floor arm does not. target-prune reads free space on the real filesystem, and the cases that pass --root at a fixture tree still take that reading — so a case asserting status -eq 0 fails on any machine below the floor, for a reason that has nothing to do with what it tests.

Measured 2026-08-20, same container, same commit, two readings minutes apart:

Free space THE SPARE IS KEPT, so a reverted lap is not a full rebuild
2757MB (floor 4096MB) not ok[ "$status" -eq 0 ]' failed at line 58
6172MB, after mise run target-prune reclaimed 3416MB ok

Nothing in the fixture changed between them. The task itself was correct in both: it reported 0 superseded artifact(s) removed … below the measured disk floor with nothing left to reclaim, which is exactly its contract. The defect is that a case about which artifacts survive a prune is answered by how full the disk is.

How it surfaces, which is worse than the failure. mise run mutant reported

target-prune/prune-keeps-no-spare case-already-red (THE SPARE IS KEPT, …)
::error:: mutant: 1 of 82 declared mutation(s) were not caught

case-already-red is the mutation runner correctly refusing to certify a mutation whose case was failing beforehand. So a full disk reads as "this gate's suite cannot discriminate"CLOUD-418's exact failure mode, arriving from an environment rather than from a weak test. Two gates report a defect neither has, and the real cause is named by neither.

Refinement — Ready

Refinement gate: Definition of Ready & Done. This body carries only specializations.

  • Source of truth (§1). The fixture tree the case builds, and nothing outside it. Free space is an input to the floor decision and must therefore be an input the case can set, exactly as --root already makes the tree one.
  • Computable predicate (§2). "No case in tests/target-prune.bats changes verdict when the host's free space changes." Checkable directly: run the suite twice with the injected reading forced above and below the floor and require identical output. Today those two runs disagree.
  • Effect (§3). No command-surface change. The floor reading gains a seam — an env override alongside --root, in the shape cap-drift and digest-major-agreement already use for --manifest/--lock — plus the cases that set it.
  • Output & exit (§5). Unchanged. Still pointer-only: free, floor, and the path measured.
  • Commit / bump (§6). test → no bump, if the seam is test-only; fix(target-prune) is wrong here for the usual reason — below 0.1.0 a fix implies a patch.
  • Test obligation (§7). A case per direction: below the floor with nothing to reclaim refuses and names both numbers; above it passes; and the prune cases assert the same result under both readings, which is the row that pins the isolation.
  • Blockers (§8). None. relatedTo CLOUD-766 (the task, whose suite this is), CLOUD-418 (whose case-already-red this misreports as), CLOUD-619 (the same class: a suite isolating some state and silently using the real thing for the rest).

Acceptance

  • Every case in tests/target-prune.bats returns the same verdict on a full disk and an empty one, demonstrated by running the suite under both forced readings.
  • The floor's own cases still exercise the refusal, so the seam does not delete the behaviour it makes testable.
  • mise run mutant reports target-prune's declared mutation as caught, from a container below the floor.

CLOUD-1136 `fastq@1.20.2` lost its provenance upstream, so mise's no-downgrade trust policy refuses the pinned `npm:renovate` and every PR's `ci` job dies in tool install

Why

Every ci job in this repository currently fails before compiling a line, on a pinned tool that has been installing fine for days.

mise ERROR Failed to install npm:renovate@41.173.1: aube install failed: failed to resolve dependencies
  caused by: trust downgrade for fastq@1.20.2 (trustPolicy=no-downgrade):
             earlier published version 1.20.0 had trusted publisher but this version has no trust evidence

Observed 2026-08-29T01:59:59Z on run 33227753755, job ci, head ea83e88 of PR #734. The job died in the mise install step; mise run verify was green on that same head locally, including the whole cargo chain, 2790 tests, the bats suite and policy-test.

This is a property of the world, not of any commit

npm:renovate is pinned at 41.173.1 in mise.toml, and the pin has not moved. What changed is upstream: fastq@1.20.2, a transitive dependency, was published without the provenance metadata its 1.20.0 predecessor carried. mise's no-downgrade trust policy refuses it, correctly — that is the check doing exactly what CLOUD-655's wiring asked of it.

So this is lock-complete versus lock-currency's distinction, arriving from the npm side: a property of the commit belongs in a gate, a property of the world belongs on a clock. Nothing in any branch can be changed to fix it, and every open PR is red for the same reason until it is addressed.

The remedy is deliberately reserved for a person

mise.toml already carries two exclusions of exactly this shape, with a comment stating the policy:

"npm:renovate" = { version = "41.173.1", trust_policy_excludes = [
  "@yarnpkg/core@4.4.4",
  "@yarnpkg/libzip@3.2.2",
] }

these pin the two releases actually reviewed, so the next one is refused again until someone looks. npm.shell_out=true would have switched the whole check off and is not used.

That is the design working: a third exclusion is refused until a human performs the review. Adding fastq@1.20.2 means inspecting the npm release, the source tag/commit, the publisher identity and the tarball, comparing against npmjs.org, and reporting inconsistent evidence upstream — then recording that it was done. An agent adding the exclusion to unblock its own branch would be performing that review by assertion, which is the one thing the comment exists to prevent.

Filed rather than fixed for that reason.


Refinement — Ready

Refinement gate: Definition of Ready & Done. This body carries only specializations.

  • Source of truth (§1). The [tools] "npm:renovate" entry in the task manifest stays the one place the pin and its reviewed exclusions live, exactly as it is now. No second list, and specifically not npm.shell_out=true, which switches the whole check off rather than narrowing it.
  • **Computable predicate (§2). **mise install resolves npm:renovate@41.173.1 and exits 0. Decidable by running it; red today.
  • Effect (§3). Task-manifest configuration only. No verb, no crate surface, no policy row.
  • Output & exit (§5). Unchanged — mise's own.
  • **Commit / bump (§6). **build(deps) or ci(toolchain) — no bump; nothing here is crate source.
  • Test obligation (§7). The exclusion is its own discriminator: the install is red before it and green after, which is a real before/after on the one thing that changed. What must NOT be lost is the refusal for every other package — the exclusion is narrowed to fastq@1.20.2, so the next unreviewed downgrade is still refused. A bare fastq entry, or shell_out, would fail that and must not be used.
  • Blockers (§8). None, and it blocks everything: no PR in this repository can go green until this is resolved. relatedTo CLOUD-655 (which wired the validator and brought npm:renovate in), CLOUD-656 (the Renovate migration this tool serves).

Acceptance

  • A human has inspected fastq@1.20.2's npm release, source tag, publisher identity and tarball against npmjs.org, and the finding is recorded on this row — whether the release is legitimate or genuinely suspect.
  • If legitimate: fastq@1.20.2 is added to trust_policy_excludes, narrowly, and mise install is green.
  • If not: the finding is reported to the package's maintainer and the repository does not exclude it — the refusal is correct and the tool is pinned back or dropped instead.
  • The trust check still refuses an unreviewed downgrade in any other package afterwards, demonstrated rather than assumed.

Filed from CLOUD-1030's session, whose PR this blocked. Not fixed here because the remedy is the supply-chain review mise.toml's own comment reserves for a person.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds batten target prune with confirmation, dry-run, and build-root selection. The pruning engine retains recent executable artifacts, escalates to incremental-cache removal below the warm floor, and evaluates warm or cold disk floors using df. Configuration is schema-backed and validated during loading. Authority-only resolution, shell completions, command-surface tests, integration tests, manuals, policy declarations, and a mise task are included.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ec2c9

The PR adds destructive target cleanup and changes verification and landing behavior, but the current implementation may try to compile before reclaiming disk and still has unresolved deletion-scope, configuration-validation, and warm/cold recovery risks. It should not merge until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owners.

In `@crates/batten/src/cli.rs`:
- Around line 93-97: Move the public Command::Target variant to the end of the
Command enum, immediately after Perf, so existing implicit discriminants remain
unchanged. Retain or add the append-only rationale alongside the variant
ordering.

In `@crates/batten/src/prune.rs`:
- Around line 179-186: Update the floor validation around the comparison in the
prune logic to use checked multiplication for worst_mb and multiplier, rejecting
multiplication overflow before comparing mb; retain the existing mismatch error
for non-overflowing products and ensure overflowing declarations cannot pass.
- Around line 603-612: Update both the recursive pruning walk and
directory_bytes traversal to use each DirEntry’s file_type().is_dir() rather
than Path::is_dir(), so symbolic links are excluded and only real directories
are pushed or collected. Preserve the existing name matching and traversal
behavior for regular directories.
- Around line 188-201: Update Prune::validate’s measured-date validation to
parse self.measured as a calendar date rather than checking only its YYYY-MM-DD
character shape. Reject invalid month/day combinations and non-leap-year
February 29 values while preserving the existing error behavior for invalid
measurements.

In `@crates/batten/tests/target_prune.rs`:
- Around line 519-532: Update both affected tests,
no_build_directory_and_no_manifest_is_could_not_look and the corresponding test
near the second assertion, to assert output.status.code() equals Some(3) in
addition to the existing failure and message checks.

In `@man/batten-target-prune.1`:
- Line 7: Update the batten target prune synopsis to show that the --root option
requires a directory argument, rendering it as an option followed by a
placeholder such as <dir> while preserving the existing optional syntax.

In `@mise.toml`:
- Line 401: Add target-prune to the comma-separated MUTANT_GATES roster,
preserving the existing gate names and ordering conventions so the
mutation-tested gate runner can select it.
- Around line 957-980: The target-prune task’s run command must not invoke bare
cargo run, since that can build before pruning. Update the target-prune task to
call the already-built Batten binary through the repository’s mise-managed entry
point, preserving the existing target prune -y arguments and no-build/no-network
behavior.

In `@schema/batten.schema.json`:
- Around line 1771-1776: Update the source schema metadata for the keep field
used by Prune::validate to set its minimum to 1 instead of 0, then regenerate
the schema with the project’s schema task so the generated output rejects keep =

cargo-semver-checks enum_no_repr_variant_discriminant_changed no repr enum variant discriminant changed

💡 Result:

The cargo-semver-checks lint enum_no_repr_variant_discriminant_changed identifies when a public enum without a defined primitive representation (e.g., no #[repr(u8)]) has its variant discriminant changed [1]. This lint is considered a major breaking change by the tool because changing a discriminant can break downstream code that relies on the variant's numeric value [1]. For example, Rust allows casting unit-like enum variants to their integer discriminant values (e.g., as isize), and if a crate changes these values, dependent code may fail or behave incorrectly [1][2]. However, the validity of this lint as a SemVer-major violation is a subject of active community discussion [3]. Some users argue that relying on implicit discriminant values for enums without an explicit repr is not a stable API contract [3][2]. Consequently, some projects choose to disable this lint in their cargo-semver-checks configuration, as they do not consider it a breaking change [4]. If you encounter this lint, it indicates that: 1. The enum is public and lacks an explicit #[repr(...)] attribute [1]. 2. A variant's underlying discriminant value has changed compared to the previous version of your crate [1]. 3. If users of your library are casting your enum variants to integers, their code may now be broken [1]. If you determine that your API does not intend to guarantee these discriminant values, you can suppress the lint in your Cargo.toml file using the workspace metadata configuration: [workspace.metadata.cargo-semver-checks.lints] enum_no_repr_variant_discriminant_changed = "allow" [4]

Move Command::Target to the end of the enum.

Command is public, has no repr, and uses implicit discriminants. Inserting Target shifts every later discriminant. The repository’s semver gate runs cargo-semver-checks, which reports this as enum_no_repr_variant_discriminant_changed. Append Target after Perf and retain the append-only rationale.

#
# THE TASK NAME SURVIVES THE MIGRATION, for `perf-pair`'s reason above and with

#
# `-y` RATHER THAN A PROMPT, and it is house-style §5's binding on a destructive

# non-interactive, and a gate that blocks on a Y/N is a dead gate. `capture prune`
# carries the identical pairing for the identical reason.
#
# The floors and the tree live in `batten.toml`'s `[prune]` table, not here and
# not in the crate: how many megabytes a rebuild of THIS workspace writes is a
# fact about this consumer, and non-negotiable rule 1 is what keeps it out of
# `crates/batten`. The predecessor carried it as a shell variable inside the

Cargo official documentation cargo run compiles package before running binary

💡 Result:

Yes, the cargo run command automatically compiles the package before running the resulting binary [1][2]. According to the official Cargo documentation, cargo run is designed to build the local package and then execute its main target [3][4]. Cargo ensures the project is compiled by invoking the compilation process as part of the command execution [5][2]. Because of this, there is no built-in --no-build flag in Cargo to skip the compilation step [1][6]. If you wish to run a binary without triggering a new compilation, the standard approach is to build it once with cargo build and then manually execute the resulting binary file directly from the target directory [1].

Citations:


Do not start pruning through bare cargo run.

The target-prune task violates the repository convention and the task’s “no build” contract. cargo run compiles batten before it executes target prune, so a low-disk workspace can fail before reclamation starts. Use an already-built Batten binary through a mise-managed entry point.

Worked all nine findings. Six fixed and pushed; three declined with reasons below.

Fixed

  • Symlinks followed during the walk (Critical). Real, and a regression the port introduced rather than a hole the predecessor had — find -type d does not follow without -L, Path::is_dir does. Fixed in directories_named, directory_bytes and superseded_in by deciding on DirEntry::file_type(), which reads the entry rather than the target. Added a_symlink_out_of_the_build_tree_is_never_followed, which puts a deps and an incremental outside the tree behind a link inside it and drives readings that force the escalation to run — red on both halves before the fix.
  • cargo run builds before it prunes. Real, and self-defeating for this verb specifically: it runs at the top of verify and every land lap precisely when disk is short, so a build-first entry point fails during the build, having consumed more disk, then reports "pruning did not recover it" about a prune that never ran. The predecessor needed no build. The task now prefers the installed binary (session-start.sh runs mise run install:local) and falls back to cargo run for an unprovisioned clone, where disk is not the problem.
  • saturating_mul in the floor check. Real: worst_mb = u64::MAX, multiplier = 2 saturates to u64::MAX and equals an mb of u64::MAX, so a floor its stated basis cannot produce passes the one assertion that exists to catch that. Now checked_mul with an overflow refusal of its own.
  • Impossible measurement dates. Real. 2026-02-31 matched the character shape. Now parsed as a calendar date, months and leap years included — the field exists so a reader can go and ask what was measured that day, and a date nobody could have measured on is a missing measurement wearing a passing shape.
  • Schema accepts keep = 0 while validate refuses it. Real. #[schemars(range(min = 1))] on the source field and regenerated; the generated file was not hand-edited.
  • Could-not-look exit code unasserted. Real, and the sharpest of the nine: the retirement ledger claims the code changed from the predecessor's 2 to the engine's 3, and nothing checked it — an implementation still returning 2 passed every line. Both cases now assert Some(3).

Declined

  • Move Command::Target to the end of the enum — the stated mechanism does not apply. enum_no_repr_variant_discriminant_changed is about unit variants castable to an integer; every Command variant carries data, so no discriminant is observable across the boundary. Checked against the gate rather than argued: mise run semver check ran on this exact tree and reported one lint, constructible_struct_adds_field (the Config field), which is now declared with a ! on the commit that introduces it. The enum lint did not fire.
  • Add target-prune to MUTANT_GATES — it was removed deliberately. mutant resolves a gate's suite as tests/<gate>.bats, and this PR deletes tests/target-prune.bats along with the program it tested. Re-adding the name points the runner at a file that no longer exists. perf-pair is absent from that roster for the same reason after fix: the ci gate's cost — four measured repairs to what the gates actually run #730. The mutation coverage moved to crates/batten/tests/target_prune.rs.
  • --root synopsis missing its placeholder in the man page — real, and not this PR's. The man pages are generated by mise run man from the clap tree, and every value-taking flag renders this way: man/batten-defects-query.1 shows [\fB\-\-class\fR] [\fB\-\-id\fR] with no placeholders either. Fixing it means changing the generator for the whole surface, which is a wider change than this row and would put every man page in this diff.

Generated by Claude Code

… created

CLOUD-1030. `target-prune`'s escalation drops `target/**/incremental`, which
guarantees the next build is cold — and it then re-read free space and compared
it against the WARM floor again. So the one case the escalation exists for is
the one case the surviving floor is certified against a basis the reclaim has
just destroyed: a lap passed with ~6.2 GB free and died as a rustc IO error
inside a test run.

`Basis` now moves with the reclaim: escalating sets it to `Cold`, and the cold
floor is what the run is then judged against. Both floors are declared in
`[prune]` with the measurement date behind each, and `Prune::validate` decides
`mb == worst_mb * multiplier` at config load — what the predecessor's runtime
regex over its own source was reaching for, one tier earlier.

The repair could not be made in `mise-tasks/target-prune.sh`: `V-SHELL-RULE-EDITED`
refuses an in-place edit with no override, and its sole route is
`R-PORT-AND-RETIRE`. So the program is retired into `crates/batten/src/prune.rs`
behind `batten target prune -y` — `Effect::Destructive` on `Surface::VerifyOnly`,
beside `capture prune`. The task name `mise run target-prune` is unchanged, so
`verify`'s body and the frozen `mise-tasks/land.sh` need no edit.

`TARGET_PRUNE_FREE_MB` widens to a comma-separated sequence — the readings a run
takes, in order, last repeating. A single value makes the escalation's second
reading equal the first by construction, so the discriminating case cannot be
written without it.

Retirement ledger in `crates/batten/tests/target_prune.rs` accounts for all 27
predecessor cases. Acceptance criterion 4 is refuted rather than met, with the
`fallocate` probe recorded on the issue: `df`'s number does bind here.

BREAKING CHANGE: `Config` gains a public `prune` field, so a downstream
struct literal no longer compiles. Declared rather than avoided: the
alternative is `#[non_exhaustive]` on `Config`, which is itself a break and
a wider decision than this row. Below 0.1.0 release-plz bumps the patch
whatever the type says, so nothing about the release moves.

Refs: CLOUD-1030, CLOUD-1059
`drop_incremental` returned megabytes and the caller escalated on `> 0`, so a
cache under 1 MB was deleted and then reported as an escalation that never
happened — leaving the run judged against the WARM floor after a reclaim that
had already made the next build cold. That is CLOUD-1030's own defect,
reintroduced one layer down by an integer division.

What makes the next build cold is that the cache is gone, not that it was large,
so the count of caches removed decides whether the basis moves and the bytes are
only for the report. Caught by `a_tree_below_the_floor_escalates_and_drops_the_
incremental_cache` over the compiled binary, which is the tier that can see it.

Six of the nine findings CodeRabbit raised on #734 were real. The first is the
one that matters, and it is a regression this PORT introduced rather than a hole
the predecessor had: `find -type d` does not follow a symlink without `-L`, and
`Path::is_dir` does. So a link under the build tree was descended into — its
executables considered for removal, and an `incremental` beneath it handed to
`remove_dir_all`, outside the tree entirely. All three walks now decide on
`DirEntry::file_type()`, which reads the entry rather than its target.

The task no longer starts through a bare `cargo run`. That is self-defeating for
this verb specifically: it runs at the top of `verify` and every `land` lap
exactly when disk is short, so a build-first entry point fails during the build,
having consumed more disk, and then reports "pruning did not recover it" about a
prune that never ran. The predecessor needed no build at all.

The rest: `checked_mul` rather than `saturating_mul`, so a basis of
`u64::MAX x2` can no longer equal the floor it cannot produce; `measured` parsed
as a calendar date, so `2026-02-31` is refused where the character shape passed
it; `keep` carries its minimum into the generated schema, which accepted 0 while
the loader refused it; and both could-not-look cases assert exit 3 rather than
merely non-zero — the retirement ledger claims that code changed from the
predecessor's 2, and nothing was checking it.

Three findings declined, with the evidence, on the PR.

Reconcile the retirement ledger with what the suite asserts. The conserves gate only requires an arm's target path to resolve, so an arm can name a file that does not carry the assertion and still pass. Three arms in this ledger claim coverage no case provides.

  • crates/batten/tests/target_prune.rs#L53-L59: point the "THE SPARE IS KEPT" arm at crates/batten/tests/target_prune.rs, which carries it in the_newest_k_copies_survive_and_the_rest_are_removed, and add a case for "a stem with fewer than K copies is untouched", which neither tier asserts.
  • crates/batten/tests/target_prune.rs#L481-L501: either declare a reading sequence that puts the tree below the warm floor before the reclaim, so a_prunable_tree_is_never_refused_for_being_over_budget exercises the order, or correct the Line 92 arm to state the weaker property this case actually asserts.

Three findings from #734's second round, and the third is the one worth having.

`remove_dir_all` is not atomic: it can unlink most of a cache and then return
`Err`. Leaving `removed` at zero there judges a build that is already cold
against the WARM floor — CLOUD-1030's own defect on the failure path. The count
now moves on the attempt; the bytes still move only on success, because the
stricter floor is the safe direction for a reclaim whose extent is unknown and
claiming megabytes that may still be on disk is not.

`is_a_calendar_date` had no case that reached its calendar branch — the suite
drove `"recently"`, which the length check already refuses, so the month lengths
and the leap-year rule were untested while the module header claimed this tier
pinned them.

THE LEDGER OVERCLAIMED, twice, and the `conserves` gate cannot see it: an arm
passes if its target path resolves, not if that file carries the assertion. "THE
SPARE IS KEPT" and "a stem with fewer than K copies is untouched" both named
`prune.rs`, which asserts neither; the first is in the compiled tier and the
second was in no tier at all until this commit adds it. And the order arm claimed
the port "runs the thing" — it does not, and cannot: the free-space seam is
declared, so no reading rises because a reclaim freed something. That arm now
states the weaker property the case actually asserts and points at
`escalating_judges_against_the_cold_floor_it_just_created`, where the order IS
expressible.

`map(..).unwrap_or(..)` on a `Result`, which the workspace denies through
`-D warnings`. Caught by `verify`'s clippy step rather than by the targeted
suite run, because the receipt for the single-suite invocation had already
recorded.

CI is red on ci, and it is not this PR's

mise run verify is green on this exact head (ea83e88) — the whole gate, including the cargo chain, 2790 tests, the bats suite and policy-test. CI never reached any of it. The ci job died in tool install, before a line of this diff was compiled:

mise ERROR Failed to install npm:renovate@41.173.1: aube install failed: failed to resolve dependencies
  caused by: trust downgrade for fastq@1.20.2 (trustPolicy=no-downgrade):
             earlier published version 1.20.0 had trusted publisher but this version has no trust evidence

Why this is a property of the world and not of the commit. npm:renovate is pinned in mise.toml at 41.173.1 — the same version that has been installing fine. What changed is upstream: fastq@1.20.2, a transitive dependency, was published without the provenance metadata its 1.20.0 predecessor carried, and mise's no-downgrade trust policy correctly refuses it. Nothing in this diff touches npm, [tools], Renovate, or any lockfile that could reach fastq. Any PR against this repository fails the same way right now.

That is the same distinction AGENTS.md draws for lock-complete versus lock-currency: a property of the commit belongs in a gate, a property of the world belongs on a clock. This is the second kind.

Why I am not fixing it here. The remedy the error names is adding fastq@1.20.2 to trust_policy_excludes for npm:renovate. mise.toml's own comment above that key reserves this for a person, deliberately:

these pin the two releases actually reviewed, so the next one is refused again until someone looks. npm.shell_out=true would have switched the whole check off and is not used.

Adding a third exclusion means performing the supply-chain review that comment requires — inspecting the release, the publisher identity and the tarball against npmjs.org — and recording that it was done. That is a security judgement reserved for a human by the configuration itself, and widening a trust policy to land a disk-floor fix is exactly the kind of change that should not ride along in an unrelated PR. There is no fix PR to port; I checked, and no row on the tracker covers it yet.

What I did: one re-run of the job, to confirm the failure is not transient. Nothing else on this PR changes — the head stays as verified.

This PR is otherwise ready: verify green on ea83e88, linear-check green, closing-key-check confirms the body closes CLOUD-1030, and CodeRabbit has returned "no actionable comments" on the last four reviews after six of its nine findings were fixed and three declined with evidence above.


Generated by Claude Code

…tire a stale waiver

`fastq@1.20.2` was published 2026-08-28 without the SLSA provenance its 1.20.0
and 1.20.1 predecessors carry, so aube's `no-downgrade` trust policy refused the
whole `npm:renovate` graph and every `ci` job in the repository died in tool
install, before compiling a line — on a commit that had not moved.

REVIEWED BEFORE EXCLUDING, on the terms the comment beside the existing entries
sets. 1.20.1 went out through `mcollina/fastq`'s GitHub Actions OIDC flow, which
is what minted its provenance; 1.20.2 was published by hand by `matteo.collina`,
the package's sole listed maintainer and the owner of every prior release, from
npm 11.19.0. Same repository, same npm signing key, and the packument's `gitHead`
`4cdcc374ad2f2a606686ab9c8c5cf9ebec05ec03` is byte-identical to what the
repository's own `v1.20.2` tag points at. A maintainer skipping the CI flow is
the benign case aube's refusal text names, and the same shape as the `@yarnpkg`
precedent already recorded here.

A VERSION-SCOPED EXEMPTION IS THE DOCUMENTED REMEDY. mise's npm backend spells
out this exact procedure under "Investigating trust downgrades" — inspect the
release, tag, publisher and tarball; determine whether the maintainer published
manually; report inconsistent evidence upstream; prefer version-scoped exceptions
after review. Those are the four steps above, in order.

A release-age cooldown would defend the class rather than this package, and the
backend exposes no such option: exactly seven tool options exist and none is a
quarantine. `aube_args` is documented as applying only under
`npm.package_manager = "aube_cli"`, so it cannot carry one without changing which
package manager resolves the tree, and `MISE_MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE` governs which
TOOL VERSION is selected rather than aube's transitive resolution.

The `npm:renovate` bump to 44.50.3 is not the fix either, and that is measured
rather than assumed: 44.50.3 fails on the identical `fastq@1.20.2`, because
`fastq` arrives under a caret range no top-level pin governs. It earns its place
anyway — the tree drops from 1113 transitive packages to 738, and
`@yarnpkg/core@4.4.4` is retired here because re-testing showed 44.50.3 resolves
clean without it. A waiver nobody re-checks is a waiver nobody is reviewing.

`mise.lock` carries only the renovate entry: a full `mise lock` also swept in
node 24.19.0 -> 24.20.0 and cargo-zigbuild 0.23.0 -> 0.23.2 from the range pins,
which is the currency question `lock-currency` runs on a clock and not this
commit's to answer.

1010-1056: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the cargo run fallback from target-prune.

When the installed batten binary is absent or stale, the fallback builds before pruning. The low-disk case can then fail before this task reclaims space. Cargo documents that cargo run compiles and then runs the program when a rebuild is required. (doc.rust-lang.org)

Remove the fallback. Return a clear error that requires a mise-managed prebuilt binary instead.

`npm:renovate` 44.50.3 is reverted to 41.173.1. It was never the fix — it fails
on the identical `fastq@1.20.2`, measured — and `verify` caught that it breaks
`renovate-config-validator`, which is the one gate this tool exists to run.

Renovate 44 reads the `RENOVATE_CONFIG` environment variable as INLINE JSON5
config. This repository's task uses that same variable name for the path seam its
suite sets, so the validator was handed `/tmp/bats-run-.../renovate.json5` as
config CONTENT and died at `JSON5: invalid character 't' at 1:2` — the `t` of
`/tmp`. `tests/renovate-config-validator.bats:37` refused it.

Renaming that seam means editing both `mise-tasks/renovate-config-validator.sh`
and its suite, and both are authored shell frozen by `V-SHELL-RULE-EDITED` whose
sole route is port-and-retire. So the bump owes a migration and is its own change:
shipping it here would have traded a red CI for a red gate, which is a worse
trade than the staleness it fixes.

`@yarnpkg/core@4.4.4` comes back with it. It was retired on the measurement that
44.50.3 resolves without it; at 41.173.1 that measurement no longer holds, and an
exemption removed on a premise that no longer applies is not retired, it is
missing. The three exemptions are again the three releases actually reviewed.

What stays is the fix: `fastq@1.20.2`, reviewed and version-scoped.

The floor was a PRECONDITION: read once at the head of `verify`, answering "is
there room to begin", with nothing re-reading during the phase that actually
consumes the disk. A build whose growth exceeded the headroom that check had
just certified was structurally invisible. Measured three times in one session
— the prune passed at 6242MB free, the `cargo test` link step inside the same
lap took all of it, and the exhaustion arrived as a rustc IO error under a
`land` line telling the author to fix their own diff.

So the same verb now runs at both boundaries. `verify:gated` calls it again as
its last content step, and that run closes the lap the head call opened:
`consumed = start - end + reclaimed_in_between`, the reclaim's own megabytes
included, because space handed back is space the lap had spent. A lap that
ended below its floor is refused there, before the receipt.

The basis ratchets. `[prune.warm].worst_mb` was hand-declared at x1, so the
floor was exactly the worst lap somebody wrote down and a measurement taken
once read like a fresh one forever. The journal — one file under `$GIT_DIR`,
rewritten by rename so CLOUD-1032's half-record class is unwritable — records
what a lap actually consumed and raises the floor to it, per basis, from the
lap after the one that observed it. The declaration becomes a lower bound.

Folded in CLOUD-1153: `verify` reported any non-zero from `target-prune` as
"not enough disk", including a config refusal (1) and a could-not-look (3).
Three codes, three messages, at both call sites.

Two defects the suite caught rather than review. `git::git_dir` walks up, so
every non-git fixture resolved the enclosing repository's git dir and shared
one journal — the same class #734 records for the config root; the authority is
`./.git`, as `./batten.toml` is the config's. And `OpenLap` carried the floor
it was admitted under, which was a second authority on a number the ratchet
already answers: blanking it changed no verdict, which is the only way a
redundant conjunct announces itself.

Four mutations show the new cases able to fail: no closing reading reds all
five, a ratchet that never binds reds the ratchet case, one ratchet for both
bases reds the basis case, and a consumption that ignores the reclaim reds the
arithmetic case.

it was admitted under, which was a second authority on a number the ratchet
already answers: blanking it changed no verdict, which is the only way a
redundant conjunct announces itself.

Four mutations show the new cases able to fail: no closing reading reds all
five, a ratchet that never binds reds the ratchet case, one ratchet for both
bases reds the basis case, and a consumption that ignores the reclaim reds the
arithmetic case.
