claudeandClaude Opus 5 248af3061e 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.

# Eviction for the per-ref cache directories on the persistent volume.
#
# Usage: prune-cache.sh <cache-root> <own-target-dir> <protected-branches> <min-free-percent>
# 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 "<total_kb> <free_kb>", for the selftest
#
# 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 and 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.
#
# 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 <cache-root>. Another project's volume is a different
# Docker named volume and is not mounted in this container at all, so "stays
# scoped to this repo's cache" holds structurally, not by convention.
