Refs #1285 (fbuild-side half; see "what remains" below)

Problem

Co-located dev checkouts share ~/.fbuild/dev. The zccache compile daemons they spawn identify themselves by the zccache binary's content hash — identical across checkouts — so two dev checkouts rendezvous on one compile daemon and each displaces the other as stale on every invocation (the displace-stale war, root-caused in zackees/soldr#2352).

Change

Each binary entry point (fbuild, fbuild-daemon) derives the stamp once and exports the value:

ZCCACHE_DAEMON_NAMESPACE = "<workspace version>-<first 16 hex of blake3(current_exe)>"
  • New fbuild-paths::dev_daemon_namespace module: pure, testable core (namespace_for_process) + thin namespace_to_export(); entry points do the set_var (per the ban_env_var_set_after_import dylint convention).
  • Inherited stamps win without re-hashing — a CLI-spawned daemon stays in its spawner's namespace; one hash per process tree.
  • Official (non-dev) builds export nothing — single-daemon-on-upgrade semantics preserved; only dev pays.
  • Hash failures are reported, never silently downgraded (a silent downgrade would quietly reintroduce the war); entry points warn and continue so dev builds never gate on a broken filesystem.
  • The CLI→daemon spawn's env scrub (#1220) passes ZCCACHE_DAEMON_NAMESPACE through explicitly, next to VIRTUAL_ENV.
  • Content-based identity: a rebuilt checkout gets a fresh stamp; propagating the value (not a path) keeps the identity stable across the Windows self-update lock-rename dance.

What remains for #1285

The variable is inert until fbuild pins a zccache release honoring it: zccache#1362 (dev_daemon_identity + inheritance) is committed on zccache main but unreleased (latest tag 1.13.5). When zccache cuts that release, a follow-up repin (zccache 8cf6dd0 → new tag + running-process git pin → registry, in lockstep) completes #1285. This PR makes that repin the only remaining step.

Verification

  • soldr cargo test -p fbuild-paths: 47 passed / 0 failed
  • bash test: exit 0
  • soldr cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings: exit 0
  • ci/platform_boundary_research.tsv regenerated (new row for std::env::current_exe + shifted daemon-main rows)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved development daemon identification to prevent conflicts between different local builds.
    • Development daemon identity is automatically inherited by spawned processes and build subprocesses.
    • Existing valid daemon identity settings are preserved across process launches.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Namespace-generation failures now produce a warning without preventing startup.
    • Official builds no longer export development-only daemon identity information.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The change adds development daemon namespace derivation from inherited values or executable BLAKE3 hashes. CLI and daemon startup export the namespace when available, and daemon spawning forwards it to child processes.

Development daemon namespace

Layer / File(s) Summary
Namespace derivation and validation
crates/fbuild-paths/..., dylints/enforce_platform_boundary/src/baseline.txt, ci/test_enforce_platform_boundary.py
The new module derives namespaces from inherited values or executable-content hashes. Tests cover development, official, blank, failure, and environment cases. Supporting platform-boundary and ledger expectations are updated.
CLI and daemon startup export
crates/fbuild-cli/src/main.rs, crates/fbuild-daemon/src/main.rs
Startup derives or adopts the namespace before continuing. Successful values are exported, while derivation failures produce warnings.
Daemon namespace forwarding
crates/fbuild-cli/src/daemon_client.rs
The daemon spawn path forwards the namespace environment variable when it is set.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f7c0d

The PR currently cannot merge cleanly because a repository test has an incorrect expected ledger count, and inherited daemon namespace values may be altered by whitespace normalization, which can cause co-located development checkouts to use inconsistent daemon identities. Both issues should be fixed before merge.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the inherited namespace value.

Line 62 trims leading and trailing whitespace before line 63 returns the namespace. This changes a nonblank inherited value instead of forwarding it unchanged.

Use trim() only to detect a blank value. Return the original inherited value. Add a whitespace-padded inheritance test.

Proposed fix
-    if let Some(stamp) = inherited.map(str::trim).filter(|stamp| !stamp.is_empty()) {
+    if let Some(stamp) = inherited.filter(|stamp| !stamp.trim().is_empty()) {
         return Ok(Some(stamp.to_string()));

Remove the unnecessary unsafe wrappers around environment mutations.

These crates inherit Edition 2021. The wrappers trigger unused_unsafe, which fails builds with -D warnings. Use direct calls to std::env::set_var and std::env::remove_var.

Co-located dev checkouts share ~/.fbuild/dev, and the zccache compile
daemons they spawn identify themselves by the zccache binary's content
hash - identical across checkouts - so two dev checkouts rendezvous on
one compile daemon and displace each other as stale on every invocation
(displace-stale war, root-caused in zackees/soldr#2352).

Each binary entry point (fbuild, fbuild-daemon) now derives
"<workspace version>-<first 16 hex of blake3(current_exe)>" once and
exports the VALUE as ZCCACHE_DAEMON_NAMESPACE, so every child -
including the spawned daemon - inherits it instead of re-hashing.
Inherited stamps win without re-hashing; official (non-dev) builds
export nothing and keep single-daemon-on-upgrade semantics; hash
failures are reported, never silently downgraded. The CLI-to-daemon
spawn env_clear passes the stamp through explicitly.

The variable is inert until fbuild pins a zccache release that honors
it (zccache#1362 is on zccache main, unreleased); exporting it now
makes that repin the only remaining step for #1285.

The research inventory regeneration added the new
dev_daemon_namespace.rs native_path row but the enforcement ledger and
Dylint baseline were not regenerated with it, so the consistency check
reported 'baseline and independent scanner disagree' and actual Dylint
runs flagged a new occurrence.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Match the asserted count to the committed ledger.

dylints/enforce_platform_boundary/src/baseline.txt has 93 data rows at lines 2-94. parse_ledger() does not parse the header or trailing blank line. This assertion fails before the ledger validation runs.

Set the value to 93, or restore the two intended ledger records before keeping 95.
