Summary

ocx-child shared golden conformance vectors > Rust conformance runner passes against the identical shared fixture keeps failing on Windows in dev batches with rustup could not choose a version of cargo to run, because one wasn't specified explicitly, and no default is configured. It failed in 42499262970 (windows 2/11), in 42580170093 twice (windows 6/11, both attempts) and in 42672304851 (windows 9/11, on the head that carries all of this round's fixes). It is now the remaining Windows test failure in the batch.

The failures share one pattern in the logs: the test fails in about 0.5 s when it is not the first file in its batch's Bun process (after integrations-writer, cline-writer + desktop-supervised-restart, or kilo-client). The one passing Windows run (1d16d79, windows 4/11) had it first in its batch, where it compiled in 33.9 s. Hosted Windows runners do not set RUSTUP_HOME or CARGO_HOME, so all three Rust-using tests guessed the homes from OCX_REAL_HOME or userInfo().homedir, because the preload sandboxes HOME/USERPROFILE. A wrong guess points rustup at an empty home, and an empty home has no default toolchain. I could not find which earlier file perturbs that guess (no source or test assigns or deletes OCX_REAL_HOME), and there is no Windows host to observe it, so this PR does not claim a confirmed root cause.

It removes the guess and records evidence:

  • New tests/helpers/rust-toolchain-env.ts derives each of CARGO_HOME and RUSTUP_HOME that is not set explicitly from the rustup proxy's own location (…/.cargo/bin/cargo → …/.cargo, sibling …/.rustup). That covers the half-set case dtolnay/rust-toolchain produces, where only CARGO_HOME is set. The comparison is case-insensitive on Windows. The old real-home guess remains only for a binary that is not inside a .cargo/bin, and explicit values still win.
  • The conformance runner, link-ocx-child-e2e and service-desktop-recovery use it. On failure each now reports the toolchain it used (binary, both homes, whether settings.toml exists and its default_toolchain, OCX_REAL_HOME, USERPROFILE, HOME). service-desktop-recovery now fails with a named error when no rustc exists, instead of passing null to spawnSync. If the guess was not the cause, the next failure names the real one.

Verification

  • bun test tests/clients/link-ocx-child-conformance.test.ts tests/clients/link-ocx-child-e2e.test.ts tests/service/service-desktop-recovery.test.ts (macOS, isolated HOME, rustup installed): 33 pass, 1 skip, 0 fail. The conformance runner ran and passed in 3.1 s.
  • With only CARGO_HOME set, RUSTUP_HOME is still derived from the binary.
  • With HOME sandboxed and OCX_REAL_HOME unset, the helper still resolves /Users/jun/.cargo and /Users/jun/.rustup (with settings.toml) from the binary.
  • bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check, the test-layout and file-size ratchet tests: pass.
  • NOT RUN: Windows. The proof is the next dev batch, which either passes or prints the toolchain diagnostics.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. (test-only)
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. (test-only; diagnostics print paths, not credentials)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Rust-based integration and conformance tests now use consistent toolchain detection and environment settings. When Cargo or the Rust compiler is unavailable, tests can skip appropriately; build and compiler failures include additional toolchain diagnostics.

Walkthrough

Rust-backed tests now use a shared helper to locate Cargo or rustc and provide the corresponding environment. Test failure messages include diagnostic details about the selected toolchain.

Changes: Rust test toolchain

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rust tool discovery and environment
tests/helpers/rust-toolchain-env.ts
Adds rustToolchainEnv to find a Rust tool through Bun.which or a real-home .cargo/bin fallback. It returns the tool path, selected Cargo and Rustup homes, the process environment, and JSON diagnostics.
Test runner integration
tests/clients/link-ocx-child-conformance.test.ts, tests/clients/link-ocx-child-e2e.test.ts, tests/service/service-desktop-recovery.test.ts
The client tests use the helper to locate Cargo and run or build the conformance target. The service test uses it to locate rustc. Each test passes the helper-provided environment. Failure messages include toolchain diagnostics.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to a2c0f

Rust-backed tests may fail with externally symlinked proxies unless the toolchain home is set explicitly. The change is otherwise mergeable with this limitation understood.

Check the proxy path before resolving its symlink.

If .cargo/bin/rustc or .cargo/bin/cargo is a symlink to a binary outside .cargo/bin, realpathSync at Line 24 removes the proxy’s directory from resolved. This condition then rejects the proxy path. When the proxy’s sibling .rustup is the installed home and OCX_REAL_HOME points elsewhere, the spawned Rust tool receives the wrong RUSTUP_HOME and can fail to select its toolchain. Check bin for the .cargo/bin layout first. Use the resolved path only when the proxy path does not match. Rustup supports symlinked proxies. (rust-lang.github.io)

Merge judgment for a2c0fa8: merge.

  • Cause (partially confirmed): the ocx-child Rust conformance runner fails on Windows with rustup could not choose a version of cargo … no default is configured. It has been the remaining Windows test failure: windows 9/11 in 42672304851, 6/11 in 42580170093 (twice), 2/11 in 42499262970. Hosted runners leave RUSTUP_HOME/CARGO_HOME unset, so the tests guessed the homes from OCX_REAL_HOME or userInfo(). The independent reviewer reproduced that bun test --isolate restores process.env per file, so the observed order correlation is not explained by an env leak. The exact trigger is still unconfirmed.
  • Change: test-only.
    • tests/helpers/rust-toolchain-env.ts derives each unset home from the rustup proxy's own .cargo/bin location (case-insensitive on Windows); explicit values win.
    • The three Rust-using tests use it.
    • On failure they print the toolchain they used: homes, settings.toml presence, default_toolchain, OCX_REAL_HOME, USERPROFILE, HOME.
    • A missing rustc now fails with a named error.
  • Independent review: round 1 (hyds DeepSeek) APPROVE-WITH-NITS on 1133447. Its P2 (half-set CARGO_HOME bypassed derivation) and P3s were folded. A fresh final reviewer approved a2c0fa8 (APPROVE-WITH-NITS) after driving all four set/unset combinations, the win32 case-insensitive path, the missing-rustc error and an absent settings.toml. Its P3 nits are follow-ups, not taken here: print signalCode/exitedDueToTimeout instead of signal; align the service-desktop-recovery skip gate with the helper; accept single-quoted TOML in the diagnostic.
  • Exact-head PR CI: gates, test changed, enforce-target, hygiene green.
  • Maintainer integration into dev under MAINTAINERS.md's dev-only PR bypass (owner account, admin). This is not a self-approval, and there are no outstanding change requests.
  • NOT RUN: Windows. The next dev batch either passes windows 9/11 or prints the toolchain diagnostics.
