fix(prune-cache): stop the aside sweeper depending on timing it cannot see
Review findings on #2. The first is the one that mattered: the sweeper this PR added had the shape the PR exists to remove. Pass A renames a candidate aside; pass B's sweep sees an aside with no readers and reclaims it; A then finds a reader and restores. `rm -rf` traverses fd-relative, so the rename does not stop it and A can republish a half-emptied tree under a live cache name. `capacity: 1` bounds it today, which is exactly the kind of reason this PR was written to stop relying on. The unlink itself was never the problem — the ordering proof covers it under any interleaving, since the aside name only exists after the evicting pass's rename. What was missing is that an aside with no readers is indistinguishable from one a pass has just created and not yet decided about. The sweeper now leaves an aside alone until it has settled (EVICTION_ASIDE_SETTLE_SECONDS, default 60), which separates the two without having to identify the pass that created it — a PID is meaningless across the job containers these passes run in, and recycles. Read from ctime, not mtime: rename(2) updates the first and leaves the second at whenever the cache was last written, which is the signal list_by_lru wants and the wrong one here. That is a bound, not a construction, and both the code comment and the README now say which of the two properties is which instead of asserting the broader one. Also from the review: a pass that declined every dead cache it found no longer signs off with "no dead-branch caches found", and evict_dir no longer promises a later reclamation of an aside that is already gone. Scenario 14 covers the settle window against the script's own default, with nothing faked — the directory really was set aside a moment ago. Scenario 4 gains the summary assertion. 31 -> 37 assertions; each new gate verified red by defeating it alone in a scratch copy. |

fix(prune-cache): close the reader-marker check-then-delete window
Both eviction sites checked for a consumer's `.reading-` marker and then, seconds later — `usage_gb` runs `du -sk` over a multi-GB tree between the two — unlinked the directory. A consumer that started a clone inside that gap had its source removed mid-walk, which `cp -al` does not report: a subtree unlinked before its parent is listed is silently omitted. Unreachable today, and only by policy: snapshots belong to protected refs and protected refs never reach the marker check. `cargo-cache` and `cargo-cache-publish` take that ref list as two independent inputs, so a workflow listing a publisher in one and not the other arms this with no code change at all. Closed structurally, with publish-snapshot.sh's rotation rather than a new mechanism: the candidate is renamed aside and only then re-examined, so the scan the unlink rests on happens strictly after the rename. A consumer that resolved the directory published its marker before that scan and cannot be missed; one arriving after cannot resolve the path and starts cold, the same degrade the publisher's swap window already produces. Renaming disturbs no clone in flight — no entry is unlinked and the inode is unchanged — so a declined eviction costs a deferred eviction and nothing else. A reprieved cache is put back under its own name; one whose name a concurrent seed has retaken is left aside and swept by a later pass once its readers drain, since nothing else globs a dotted name. prune-cache-selftest gains three scenarios (21 -> 31 assertions). Scenario 12 is the one that bites: the `du` the pass runs on its candidate publishes the marker, placing it strictly after the check and strictly before the unlink. Against check-then-delete, 1-11 pass and 12 fails; breaking only the second look and leaving the rename fails it too. |

feat(cargo-cache): hardlink-clone a per-ref Cargo cache from a published snapshot
Replaces the phase-0 resolution probe with the real actions, merging the two independent per-branch Cargo cache implementations on this forge into the design neither of them had. ## The merge - zemyna seeds a PR branch by `cp -al` hardlink clone (near-free: cost scales with inode count, not bytes) from the base branch's LIVE target dir — a torn read waiting for a second job slot (its own #911). - emowheel seeds from a PUBLISHED IMMUTABLE SNAPSHOT (no race by construction) but with `cp -a`, duplicating ~35 GB per branch. This ships hardlink-clone FROM a published snapshot: zemyna's cost profile, emowheel's soundness, and #911 closed structurally rather than by the runner happening to have one execution slot. ## The bug both implementations have A build inside a `cp -al` clone DOES mutate the directory it was cloned from. Cargo replaces real artifacts, but writes its metadata — and build scripts write their OUT_DIR — with a plain truncating write, straight through the shared inode. Measured set: `.fingerprint/<unit>/dep-<target>` (under CARGO_UNSTABLE_CHECKSUM_FRESHNESS), `build/<pkg>/{output,root-output,out/**}`, `deps/*.d` and `<profile>/*.d`. The checksum-freshness case is a wrong answer, not a slow build: a PR clone rewrites the base's dep-info to describe the PR's sources while the base's cache still holds the artifact built from the base's; once the PR merges, the base's next run finds the checksums match, reports `Fresh`, and links a binary built from the pre-merge code. Reproduced end to end. Fix: hardlink the artifacts (the GB), real-copy the metadata (the MB) — about 3.7% of a 6.9 GB Bevy target dir, against 100% for a full copy. ## Contents - `cargo-cache/action.yml` — consume: resolve keys, seed from the base's snapshot via staging + one atomic rename, strip Cargo lock files, unshare the mutable paths, restore mtimes from git history, lock, prune. - `cargo-cache-publish/action.yml` — publish: record the build watermark, atomically republish the snapshot on a protected branch, release the lock (`mode: release-lock` for the `if: always()` step). - `scripts/` — all logic, so it is testable standalone; the YAML is wiring. - `scripts/*selftest.sh` + `selftest.sh` — five suites, 63 assertions, every fix paired with a control that reproduces the bug. All green locally. Eviction merges emowheel's liveness pass (dead branches pruned unconditionally, not gated on disk pressure) with LRU-under-pressure, but inverts the order within the pressure pass: `target-*` before `snapshot-*`, because a snapshot is hardlinked to everything cloned from it, so evicting one frees almost no real bytes while costing every future PR its warm start. restore-mtimes.sh is ported from emowheel (the watermark variant, which closes the merge hazard zemyna's copy still has) with its provenance de-projectised.
