Martin VogelandPR9000 fece72b049 fix(build): put the whole GOT inside the RELRO window on ELF targets
Adds -Wl,-z,relro and -Wl,-z,now to ELF_HARDENING_FLAGS, and asserts the
resulting property on the produced artifact rather than on the compiler's
willingness to accept a flag.

The shipped Linux binaries measurably lacked the property. Built the way
.github/workflows/_build.yml builds them (STATIC=1, gcc 13.3 / GNU ld 2.42,
Ubuntu 24.04 aarch64), PT_GNU_RELRO ends at 0x11DA0000 in both cases:

  without -z now:  .got 0x11d9ec20+0x13c8, .got.plt 0x11d9ffe8+0x40
                   -> .got.plt ends at 0x11DA0028, 40 bytes PAST the window.
                      Those GOT slots stayed writable for the whole process
                      lifetime, in every Linux binary shipped to date.
  with    -z now:  .got.plt folds into .got, the whole GOT sits inside the
                   window and is re-mapped read-only after startup.

Both flags are free at runtime for a static binary -- everything resolves at
link time, so there is no lazy binding left to pay for. -z relro is already
this toolchain's default and changes nothing here; it is named anyway so the
property stops depending on one distro's spec file, since the musl/portable
and glibc-floor images are different toolchains and a default is not a
guarantee.

A1c/A1d in scripts/ci/check-binary-composition.sh assert the OUTCOME on the
binary via readelf, for the same reason A1 exists beside the .note.GNU-stack
annotation: a flag the linker accepts is not evidence the artifact gained
anything. PR #1138 demonstrated that directly -- its -pie was silently
discarded under -static, and its -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 silently DOWNGRADED
Ubuntu's default of 3, both while every compile probe passed.

The readers use awk rather than a short-circuiting reader on purpose: a
reader that exits at the first match leaves the upstream taking EPIPE, and
under `set -o pipefail` the satisfied case is reported as the failing one.

Deliberately NOT taken from #1138: -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 (a downgrade on the
release platform), -fPIE/-pie (inert under STATIC=1), -fstack-protector-strong
(real but unmeasured cost, and #1138 injected it into SQLite, tree-sitter and
mimalloc -- the indexing hot loop), and the $(shell) probe machinery (~10
compiler spawns per Makefile parse, making the binary a function of the
builder's toolchain).

scripts/ — the canonical leg entries

The doctrine (enforced, not advisory): a venue may provision a machine; only a canonical leg script may exercise the product. Local CI, PR CI, the dry run and the release all call the SAME files below — venues differ only in host specs, architecture and inputs, never in what a leg does. Platform differences (arm64 sanitizer flags, native Windows behavior, the Linux portable binary) live INSIDE these scripts, once, never per-venue. tests/test_venue_parity_contract.sh (run as Step 0j of every test leg) turns any violation — inline harness logic in a workflow, a bypassed wrapper, a missing --help — into a red build.

Every entry answers --help (authoritative, agent-oriented: modes, env, exit codes) and rejects unknown flags with exit 2 + Please consult --help.

The legs

leg entry what a run gives you
test test.sh DEFAULT = the venue leg: static contracts (Step 0a–0r) + CLEAN ASan+UBSan build + all suites via the parallel harness + prod-binary guards. --suites a,b = iteration mode (incremental rebuild, subset, seconds). --tsan = the ThreadSanitizer leg. CLANGARM64 gets CI's trap-UBSan flags automatically.
package wrappers ci/test-package-wrappers.sh Go, npm, and PyPI runtime-set publication/lock suites on the current host. CI runs the same entry on Linux and Windows so both platform lock implementations gate.
build build.sh CLEAN production runtime set (native executable + authenticated integration asset; --with-ui adds one content-addressed UI pack). ccache via env.sh makes repeats fast; CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK=content guarantees a hit is byte-identical to a cold compile — never stale. --version, STATIC=1, BUILD_DIR=.
lint lint.sh clang-tidy + cppcheck + clang-format (+ no-skips policy). --ci = the CI gate set (no clang-tidy). Drives the same make targets as make lint/lint-ci.
smoke (unix) smoke-local.sh Stages a full release fixture, serves it on a kernel-assigned port, runs smoke-test.sh (ALL phases incl. download/install/update E2E) inside a disposable HOME/XDG/TMP sandbox. ui variant makes a missing verified UI pack a FAILURE. CBM_SMOKE_ARTIFACT_DIR = smoke an extracted release artifact verbatim (release mode).
smoke (windows) ../test-infrastructure/vm/vm-smoke.sh Same verified runtime-set contract on the real Windows VM, plus the user-PATH registry guard (prepare/verify/cleanup).
smoke-invariants smoke-invariants.sh Production-path resilience battery (MCP handshake, all tools invocable, malformed-input handling, supervised crash/hang recovery) — no fixture server or install E2E. smoke.yml runs an explicitly seam-enabled build on the WIDEST source matrix; release artifacts remain seam-free and use the release-shaped smoke legs above.
soak soak-legs.sh The release-gating soak SEQUENCE: quick then query-leak (the #581 detector — never reindexes, so RSS growth = query-path leak), each guarded by a completion-summary check. --legs quick for the ASan single-leg variant. Duration is per leg.

Internal harnesses — never called directly by a venue (the contract forbids it): smoke-test.sh (phases; wrappers provide fixture server + sandbox), soak-test.sh (one soak run; soak-legs.sh provides the sequence + guards), run-tests-parallel.sh (reached through test.sh).

Conventions

  • Exit codes: 0 = pass · 2 = usage error · 90 = guard (a run died without its completion summary — never counts as green) · anything else = the leg's real failure.
  • Iteration is a flag, not a side-tool: the fast paths (--suites, --legs) are modes of the SAME entry the gates run, so a dev loop can never drift from the venue behaviour.
  • Env sandboxing: the smoke wrappers neutralize every agent-config destination override; a smoke can never scribble on your real config.
  • Iterating on a change: scripts/test.sh --suites <suite> (seconds, incremental, same ASan+UBSan flags as the gate). List suites: build/c/test-runner --list-suites. Debugging a Windows-on-ARM trap: re-run with SANITIZE= for a plain build, or use the emulated win.sh ubsan-* pair for full diagnostics.
  • Before any push (the 3-OS ladder): scripts/test.sh (macOS, full) → ./test-infrastructure/run.sh full (Linux + TSan + smoke) → test-infrastructure/vm/win.sh test-par + guards + smoke-install (+ soak when the change touches memory/daemon paths).
  • Concurrency-touching change: add scripts/test.sh --tsan early — the same leg CI gates on.
  • Release-shaped verification: CBM_SMOKE_ARTIFACT_DIR=<extracted artifact> scripts/smoke-local.sh <binary> [ui] smokes exactly what would ship.
  • A leg is red in CI but green locally: first suspect environment shape, not code — the preflights (win.sh automatic; scripts/ci/preflight-docker.sh) and test-infrastructure/README.md's residuals list cover the knowable differences.

See scripts/ci/README.md for the CI plumbing and test-infrastructure/README.md for the venue map.
