Outcome

Portable onboarding checks that its managed registry answers before building the sandbox image. An unreachable registry produces a bounded failure before the build, rather than after it.

Reason

A registry container reporting that it is running does not prove that its published port is reachable. Readiness and image publication must also use the same endpoint.

Fixes #11724

Changes

  • Require an unredirected HTTP 200 from /v2/ within five seconds before a Portable image build starts.
  • Use the existing IPv4 listener consistently for readiness, new image references, and Podman registry configuration.
  • Preserve older localhost:5000 image references through registry mapping and keep both repository names visible to image cleanup.
  • Retain the existing failure-path, fallback, cleanup, and Portable legacy-image coverage. Remove the unrelated CI process-cleanup repair and redundant registry-constant test.

Verification

  • Six focused existing suites — 192 tests passed, covering prebuild, sandbox launch, host preparation, image cleanup, image identity, and workflow selection.
  • npm run e2e:assertions:check — passed; 1,247 direct assertions across 77 live test files, with no assertion growth.
  • Source CI passed on c1d56b1789dbb16fd7f87c760fab4b261413d189, including all 12 CLI shards, coverage aggregation, plugin tests, installer integration, typechecks, npm audit, and static compatibility checks.
  • Portable qualification and rootless Podman CPU proof passed on the same commit. Portable qualification includes publication and pulls through both the current and legacy registry references.
  • Managed-image qualification passed, including all-agent runtime activation on Docker and rootless Podman. Self-hosted qualification also passed.
  • These are targeted qualifications; the complete unfiltered e2e.yaml matrix was not run.
  • The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

Review notes

The change touches Portable host preparation, local image identity, prebuild failure handling, and the existing Portable qualification workflow. Source inspection confirms the probe runs only for Portable builds, before image construction or publication. Existing localhost image compatibility passed qualification. CodeRabbit reviewed c1d56b1789dbb16fd7f87c760fab4b261413d189, found no actionable issues, and rated merge risk Minimal. Its docstring-coverage warning is a style advisory outside this bug fix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Portable onboarding now checks the managed registry before building and uses its IPv4 address for image references. The changes also retain legacy image references for cleanup and update related tests and workflow path selection.

Changes

Portable registry configuration and prebuild

Layer / File(s) Summary
Managed registry address configuration
src/lib/domain/sandbox/image-tag.ts, src/lib/onboard/docker-driver-platform.ts, src/lib/onboard/experimental/portable-profile.ts, src/lib/onboard/experimental/portable-host-preparation.ts, src/lib/onboard/experimental/portable-host-preparation.test.ts
Shared host and port constants define the Portable registry address. Host preparation uses these values for container port binding and adds a localhost:5000 registry prefix.
Prebuild registry readiness
src/lib/onboard/sandbox-prebuild.ts, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-prebuild.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create-launch.test.ts
Portable prebuild probes /v2/ before building and uses the managed registry address for image references. Tests cover successful readiness, probe failures, publication, credential cleanup, and build invocation.
Legacy image compatibility and validation
src/lib/domain/sandbox/image-tag.ts, src/lib/actions/maintenance.test.ts, test/e2e/live/portable-profile-rootless-linux.test.ts, test/e2e/support/portable-profile-rootless-runtime-workflow.test.ts, .github/workflows/portable-profile-e2e.yaml
The prior localhost:5000 image reference remains in orphan cleanup. Tests check legacy image resolution and repository scanning. The E2E workflow path selection includes the image-tag module.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c1d56

Portable onboarding now checks the managed registry before building and fails early with a clear message if it is unavailable. No concrete merge-blocking risk was found. Current-branch CI and Portable qualification results are still unreported.

Test the registry contract through the E2E boundary.

This assertion reads liveTest source text and locks the support test to a literal implementation. A valid live test can change its assertion or derive the registry address while the portable runtime still configures and uses the required registry. Remove this source-text assertion. Keep the live E2E checks of generated registries.conf and published-image pull as the contract evidence.

As per path instructions, “Prefer observable outcomes through the public boundary over source-text, private-shape, or mock-call assertions.”

Reviewed the narrowed registry-preflight fix on c1d56b1. The readiness check precedes Portable image construction and publication; the IPv4 endpoint and legacy localhost image mapping are consistent. The unrelated CI-process repair is removed. Source CI, Portable qualification, Podman CPU proof, and Docker/rootless-Podman managed activation passed on this commit. CodeRabbit found no actionable issues and rated risk Minimal. Its docstring-coverage advisory is outside this bug fix. Approved for merge.
