test(minvmd): fetch the pinned gvproxy switch for the VM harnesses - #1815
Conversation
Both VM lanes fetched the pinned gvproxy switch only after the "VM integration harnesses" step and never exported MINVMD_GVPROXY_BIN to it, so every harness that needs the host switch skipped and counted as a pass. Fetch it once ahead of the harness step, drop the later duplicate, and give the harness step MINVMD_GVPROXY_BIN plus the MINVMD_VM_LANE marker.

Approved: no findings at Nothing to do. Clobber: none: |
The vm_escape harness never ran a box: a shell exec launches the box's sandbox, which resolves the baseline packages against the project's package graph, and the harness uploaded a minimal.toml with no [upstream], so every exec failed with "no such package: base". It also booted with `minvmd boot --foreground`, which never stands up the gvproxy switch, so the guest daemon could not have fetched packages anyway. - Carry the pinned [upstream] (gominimal/pkgs at f4de33d0) in the boxes' minimal.toml, shared as common::PKGS_UPSTREAM. The guest daemon fetches it as node-plane traffic; under MINVMD_E2E=1 a failed fetch fails the test. - Boot through the supervisor path (`minvmd run --detach`, poll `status --json` until Running, `minvmd stop` on drop), with MINVMD_VM_OWN_IP and the helper's MINVMD_GVPROXY_BIN, and read the gate's lines from the detached supervisor's JSON log. - Gate a Pending ConfigureLoadout the way the CLI's no-prompt hook answers vars, failing on any patch or hook, and submit the verdict. - Return each exec's stderr and quote it when an exec exits nonzero, so a box that cannot launch names its cause.
boot_integration and minimald_session_integration SIGKILLed `minvmd boot --foreground` alone. Its `__krun-vmm` child was reparented to init and kept the VM running, holding the harness's inherited stdio open, which nextest reported as LEAK and which piled up on persistent runners. Spawn the boot as its own process group with stdin off the terminal, and tear down with common::kill_group, which kills the whole group before reaping the parent.

- Around line 199-223: Update the `minvmd` helper to drain the child’s piped
stdout and stderr concurrently while polling for exit, so output exceeding the
pipe buffer cannot block the child. Start readers before the `try_wait` loop and
collect their output after the child exits, preserving the existing timeout and
returned `Output` behavior.
- Line 185: Update Guest::drop to run minvmd stop with a bounded, non-panicking
wait; if it fails or times out, kill the recorded VMM PID so the detached
supervisor can observe the child exit and clean up. Ensure teardown does not
panic or abort the integration-test process.

procps `kill -KILL -<pgid>` exits 0 on Linux without signalling the group, so the reap that followed blocked on a still-running `minvmd boot` and the KVM lane timed out in boot_integration. Signal the group with killpg(2) and kill the parent directly as well, so the reap cannot block on a group signal that missed.

- Export MINVMD_READY_TIMEOUT_SECS (150 s) to the supervisor: `--timeout` bounds only `run --detach`'s poll, and the READY wait otherwise defaults to 60 s, short of a cold boot on a lane that does not set it. - Drain the subcommand's stdout and stderr on reader threads while it runs, so a child that writes more than a pipe buffer cannot stall into the timeout. The Output shape and the timeout are unchanged. - Guest::drop never panics: `minvmd stop` runs through a non-panicking bounded helper, and when it errors or times out the VMM pid recorded from `status --json` is killed and the failure logged.

minimal-review — approved
Verdict APPROVE — every review thread is resolved; @norrietaylor closed the last one. The review of 40d9b7533eb7 withheld this approval on the threads open then.
The host listener armed a 2s read timeout the moment it accepted a connection, and discarded the connection unrecorded when that timeout fired. gvisor-tap-vsock's TCP forwarder dials the backend *before* it creates the endpoint that answers the SYN, so the listener accepts, and starts that clock, before the sender has seen the SYN-ACK it must answer before it can push. A handshake slower than ~2s — one SYN-ACK retransmit on a loaded runner is enough — left the marker nowhere to land: the flow completed, and the wait meant to grant it 10s spent them against a socket already closed. Hold each connection for a budget longer than the longest wait, record every read as it arrives rather than once at the end, and read each connection on its own thread so one silent sender cannot delay another sender's marker. Report what the listener saw when a wait fails, so a next occurrence says whether the connection was never dialed, was dialed and stayed silent, or arrived after the wait gave up. Refs: #1845
The listener's report now shows the spoofed flow's connection being accepted and then reading nothing, so the loss is after the handshake and not in the listener's timing budget. What it cannot show is which side lost the payload. Print the gate's lines for the flow alongside it. An egress-unregistered-source line and nothing else means the gate admitted the frames and the loss is past it, in gvproxy; an ingress-leg line means the relay came off on the switch side and whatever the guest had buffered went with it. Refs: #1845, #1847
…ed (#1864) * test(minvmd): hold a spoofed flow open until its marker is acknowledged spoofed_flow wrote the ACK and the marker's push, returned, and dropped the gate socket: no wait for the switch's acknowledgement and no retransmit. A frame lost in the relay's or the switch's teardown of that connection lost the marker with nothing to say where (#1845). The flow now resends the push every 500 ms until the switch acknowledges every marker byte (SPOOF_ISN + 1 + marker length, compared in wrapping sequence space), answering ARP for its address meanwhile, and reports whether it was acknowledged. An acknowledged marker that never reaches the listener was lost past the switch's stack; an unacknowledged one was lost before it. * test(minvmd): record whether the switch acknowledged each admitted marker The admit verdict in the attempts record now carries the marker's acknowledgement, so a later red run shows whether the ACK path worked without a pre-fix timing baseline to infer it from.
What
The VM harnesses now provision the gvproxy switch themselves.
vm_escape_integrationalso gets a package source and a network, so it really runs on the VM lanes. Before this PR it either skipped green or failed before it reached any assertion. Boot harnesses no longer leak their VMM process.Switch provisioning (
crates/minvmd/tests/common/mod.rs, shared by minvmd's test targets)gvproxy_bin()returns the switch for a harness.MINVMD_GVPROXY_BINwhen set.MINVMD_E2E=1, it runsscripts/fetch-gvproxy.shinto a per-version cache:$RUNNER_TEMP, else the system temp dir, atminimal-gvproxy/<version>/gvproxy. The fetch writes a temp file and renames it into place.MINVMD_E2E=1, every resolved switch is SHA-256-checked againstvendor/gvproxy/gvproxy.lock. A mismatch fails the test and prints both digests.MINVMD_E2E=1it returnsNoneand the harness skips.skip_or_fail(harness, reason)is the single skip gate. It panics underMINVMD_E2E=1and otherwise prints aSKIPPEDline.gvproxy_pin_integration.rsholds unit tests for the digest check, plus an ignored, E2E-gated case that runs the fetch path.vm_escape runs for real
Package source. A shell exec launches the box's sandbox, which resolves the baseline packages (
base,coreutils,socat,bash) against the project's package graph. The harness uploaded aminimal.tomlwith no[upstream], so every exec failed withno such package: base.minimal.tomlnow carries the pinned[upstream](gominimal/pkgsatf4de33d0), shared ascommon::PKGS_UPSTREAM.MINVMD_E2E=1a failed fetch fails the test.Boot path with the switch.
minvmd boot --foregroundnever stands up the switch, so the guest had no DNS and no egress. The harness now boots through the supervisor path:minvmd run --detach, withMINVMD_VM_OWN_IP=1and the helper'sMINVMD_GVPROXY_BIN;status --jsonuntil the VM is Running;minvmd stopon drop.The gate's lines are read from the detached supervisor's JSON log.
Pending loadout. A
PendingConfigureLoadoutis gated the way the CLI's no-prompt hook answers vars (allow once). Any patch or hook fails the test, naming the item. The verdict is then submitted.Stderr surfacing. Each exec's stderr is returned and quoted when the exec exits nonzero, so a box that cannot launch names its cause instead of reporting only "exited nonzero".
VMM leak
boot_integrationandminimald_session_integrationSIGKILLedminvmd boot --foregroundalone. Itsminvmd __krun-vmmchild was reparented to init. It kept the VM running and held the harness's stdio open, which nextest reported as LEAK and which piled up on persistent runners. Those harnesses now spawn the boot as its own process group with stdin off the terminal.common::kill_groupkills the whole group before reaping the parent. vm_escape'sminvmd stopteardown covers its supervisor, VMM and switch.Why

Once the harness could not skip, it showed that it had never been runnable: it had no package graph and no switch.How verified (macOS arm64)
