#!/usr/bin/env bash # Eviction for the per-ref cache directories on the persistent volume. # # Usage: prune-cache.sh # protected-branches space-separated raw refs (e.g. "dev main") # # Optional environment: # STALE_LOCK_SECONDS age past which a .ci-lock-* marker is treated as # abandoned (default 7200) # CACHE_LIVENESS "false"/"0" to skip the liveness pass entirely # CACHE_DF_OVERRIDE " ", for the selftest # EVICTION_ASIDE_SETTLE_SECONDS # how long a directory renamed aside for eviction is # left alone before another pass may reclaim it # (default 60) # # Three passes, in order: # # 1. LIVENESS — every target-*/snapshot-* directory whose branch no longer # exists on origin is removed UNCONDITIONALLY, not gated on free space. # A directory for a branch deleted days ago is pure loss: nothing will # ever read it again, since a merged PR's branch cannot be reopened. # Waiting for disk pressure to notice means paying for it until then. # Skipped entirely, loudly, if the liveness signal itself is # unavailable — "couldn't determine" is never folded into "dead". # 2. PRESSURE — if free space is still under the threshold, evict remaining # (now necessarily live) directories oldest-first until it clears. # 3. SELF-CLEAR — if pass 2 still isn't enough, wipe this run's own target # dir and pay a cold rebuild, reported to the job summary as well as the # log, because a warning on a green run is what lets a silently 4x-slower # job go unnoticed. # # Reactive-only, with no hard cap on cache size: a workspace's natural working # set is what it is, and bounding the footprint preemptively means wiping # useful content before it is actually causing host pressure. The bound is # physics, not an arbitrary GB number. # # EVICTION ORDER, and why it is the reverse of the obvious one: within the # pressure pass, `target-*` directories are evicted BEFORE `snapshot-*` ones. # A snapshot is a hardlink clone of a live target dir and of every consumer # cloned from it, so removing it frees almost no real bytes — its inodes stay # alive through those other links — while costing every future PR its warm # start. Evicting snapshots first would be nearly pure loss. Target # directories are where a branch's own divergent artifacts actually live, so # they are what freeing space means. # # Two exclusions every pass respects: # # PROTECTED — the publisher branches' target and snapshot directories, and # this run's own target dir, are never candidates in any pass. Evicting a # publisher's snapshot doesn't free real disk (every open PR's clone keeps # the data alive) but does force every subsequent PR to start cold, which is # the entire benefit this scheme exists to deliver. # # LOCKED — a directory carrying a .ci-lock-* marker younger than # STALE_LOCK_SECONDS is held open by a running job, or named by a live # .reading--* marker (a job is hardlink-cloning it this instant), is # skipped by every pass, however dead and however tight the disk. This is # what makes eviction safe on a runner with more than one execution slot. # An older marker is treated as abandoned and logged as such, so an # actually-still-running job that somehow exceeds the threshold is visible # in the log rather than silently losing its cache mid-build. # # That exclusion is decided TWICE per eviction — once as the cheap filter # that keeps a held directory out of the pass at all, and once after the # directory has been renamed aside, which is the decision the unlink # actually rests on. See evict_dir. # # Liveness is resolved by `git ls-remote --heads origin`, wrapped in a # timeout. A directory name cannot be inverted back to a branch name (the # sanitiser is lossy and the disambiguating suffix is a one-way hash), so this # goes the other direction: it recomputes the expected directory names for # every branch origin reports, using cache-lib.sh's OWN cache_key function — # the same one the seed step used to create them. Reusing that function rather # than reimplementing a lookalike is what makes the classification sound; any # drift between two spellings would silently misclassify every directory. # # Only ever globs inside .
