Adds a bep-tpm-integration job to the Linux native lane, so the Box Egress Proxy's TPM key-store proofs run in CI. This is the setup step for the Linux key-custody slice on #1501. The spec change is #3314. The experiment it follows is on #2436.

What the job does

  • Installs swtpm, swtpm-tools, tpm2-tools and libtss2-dev. libtss2-dev carries every TCTI library, so the plan's experiment can still choose between tpm2-tools and tss-esapi.
  • Starts swtpm as a TCP server (swtpm:host=localhost,port=2321), and checks it answers with tpm2_getcap. It needs no /dev/tpmrm0, no kernel module, and no root beyond the apt install.
  • Runs cargo nextest run -p bep --profile ci --run-ignored all -E 'binary(/_tpm_integration$/)', with BEP_TPM_TCTI set. Like minimald-root-integration, it picks up a new crates/bep/tests/*_tpm_integration.rs with no workflow edit.
  • Skips the test step while no *_tpm_integration.rs file exists, because nextest refuses a binary() filter that names no binary. Once one exists, --no-tests=fail applies.
  • Adds the job to the jobs that ci-linux-native-success waits on.

Not yet checked

  • The first CI run showed swtpm installs, starts and answers on a hosted runner (TPM2_PT_FAMILY_INDICATOR: "2.0").
  • The package names are for Ubuntu 24.04. If ubuntu-latest has moved to a newer Ubuntu, the apt line may need adjusting.

Walkthrough

The Linux native workflow adds a gated job that starts a local TPM 2.0 simulator and runs matching ignored BEP integration tests. The native CI success aggregator now depends on this job.

Changes: TPM Integration CI

Layer / File(s) Summary
Run BEP TPM integration tests
.github/workflows/ci-linux-native.yml
Adds a job that installs TPM tools, starts a local simulator, and runs ignored BEP tests matching the _tpm_integration binary-name suffix. The job allows no matching tests and is added to the native CI success aggregator's dependencies.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Suggested reviewers: bryan-minimal, mitodrummer

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 3a69d

This change adds a TPM test job directly to a CI workflow the repository treats as frozen. Confirm with the CODEOWNER team that this route is acceptable, or restructure the setup into scripts and a justfile recipe, before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "ci(linux-native): run the bep TPM proofs against swtpm" follows the Conventional Commit format the repository template asks for. It names the main change: a new CI job that runs the BEP TPM integration proofs against an swtpm simulator in the Linux native lane. It matches the raw summary and the PR objectives.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description supplies substantive content: it explains what the bep-tpm-integration job does, links the related issue and spec PR, and lists the packages, the swtpm startup, the nextest command, and the skip logic. It also notes unverified items. It does not follow the template headings (Summary, Testing, Checklist). The Summary content is effectively present, but the Testing section is missing: no commands or output are pasted as evidence, and the author states the first CI run has not yet verified the setup. The Checklist (docs updated, BREAKING CHANGE footer) is absent. The PR title is not shown in the provided context, so its Conventional Commit format cannot be checked. Most required information is present, so the description is mostly complete.

A rabbit checks the TPM lane,
While swtpm hums beside the grain.
The BEP tests hop through the night,
The CI gate turns green and bright.
Then bunny rests beneath the moon.

Read at c51fb12. A read only: the lab host carries no swtpm, so I did not run the script there; the job's own run on this PR is the evidence, and it is green.

The job matches its siblings, and the script is the right home for the logic. Same needs: [changes] and the same if on the native output as minimald-root-integration, so a docs-only PR skips it and ci-linux-native-success still goes green on the skip. In the script: the nullglob guard is the right shape for a filter that names no binary yet (nextest refuses an empty binary() match before --no-tests is consulted), and the TPM is brought up and queried before that guard, so the lane keeps proving swtpm answers while no proof exists. tpm2_getcap captured into a variable rather than piped into head is the correct fix for the SIGPIPE under pipefail. The trap cleanup EXIT with a pid file and BEP_TPM_PORT answer what a persistent runner or a second local run would otherwise trip over. --locked on the nextest run matches the other lanes.

On the "frozen workflows" thread. AGENTS.md's rule is on agents editing .github/workflows/, which is CODEOWNER-gated for exactly this: an owner adds a lane, an agent does not. This is the owner's change.

One note, not blocking: when BEP_TPM_TCTI is set by the caller the script runs nothing against the TPM before the proofs, so a wrong device: path is found by the first proof's failure rather than by a line that names the TCTI. A tpm2_getcap in that branch too would give just test-tpm the same early answer the swtpm branch has.
