  smoke: fix the snapshot canary that blocked v1.8.7, and make it bidirectional

  joakimp released this 2026-08-26 08:09:09 +02:00 | 75 commits to main since this release

  Run 589 built the base cleanly and then failed both smoke jobs 81-passed/1-failed
  on 'mempalace skill snapshot is current'. That canary greps a phrase from the
  vendored mempalace skill to detect a stale snapshot, and the phrase it pinned was
  'Attribute what you file yourself' — the heading of the hand-stamping instruction
  that THIS release withdraws. So it fired correctly: the snapshot changed and the
  expectation did not. Every publish job was skipped, so nothing reached the
  registry and v1.8.7 was never consumed.

  Rather than bump the string:

  • the assertion is now BIDIRECTIONAL — the new phrase must be present AND the
    withdrawn one absent. A one-way canary only catches half the drift: it cannot
    notice a re-vendored stale snapshot that happens to contain the pinned phrase.
    Verified against v1.8.6's snapshot, which now correctly fails.
  • the comment records the structural limit rather than just the fix: a phrase
    canary can only ever detect 'older than what I remembered to pin', never
    'older than skillset main'. Only a diff against the skillset repo can do that,
    which is now a Still-open item — it needs a CI clone credential for a private
    repo, i.e. a policy decision, not a code change.

  Changelog consolidated: the SSH sidecar multiplexing default moves from
  Unreleased into v1.8.7, since the retag will sit on a commit that contains it,
  and the v1.8.7 summary now records the failed first attempt rather than quietly
  presenting the second one as the whole story.
