Summary

The Portable Profile rootless job installed Ubuntu's Podman package but continued to resolve the runner image's Podman 5.8.4. That paired the runner binary with Ubuntu's /usr/bin/crun, which rejected container startup. This change makes the job use Ubuntu's /usr/bin/podman with the OCI runtime installed by the same package set.

Failure evidence: Portable Profile run 31986375848, rootless Linux job 95262042184.

The separate Portable Profile BuildKit cgroup failure is outside this PR.

Changes

  • Put a trusted temporary directory containing only a symlink to /usr/bin/podman first in PATH for the rootless job.
  • Verify the resolved Podman path before the live Portable Profile test starts.
  • Add a fast workflow contract test and route workflow changes to it through the affected-test mapping.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with doc updates
  • Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
  • Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
  • Docs not applicable — justification: This changes internal GitHub E2E runner setup and does not change a supported product surface.
  • Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
  • Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: The PATH boundary uses a private directory created by mktemp under RUNNER_TEMP, contains only a symlink to the fixed /usr/bin/podman path, and does not consume untrusted input or secrets.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: no-docs-needed
  • Evidence: .github/workflows/portable-profile-e2e.yaml changes only internal E2E runner binary selection; the remaining changed files provide contract and watch-trigger tests. Supported product behavior does not change.
  • Agent: Codex Desktop

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

  • Tested on DGX Station
  • Tested commit: Not applicable
  • Station profile/scenario: Not applicable
  • Result: Not applicable
  • Supporting evidence: Not applicable

Verification

  • PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
  • Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
  • Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — e2e-support: 1/1 passed; affected-test mapping: 4/4 passed.
  • Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — not applicable to this focused workflow setup and contract-test change.
  • Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
  • npm run docs builds without warnings (doc changes only)
  • Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
  • New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved reliability of portable rootless Linux setup by ensuring Podman is available through the expected command path.
    • Added verification that the packaged Podman binary is correctly installed, linked, and recognized during workflows.
  • Tests

    • Added end-to-end coverage for Podman installation and command resolution.
    • Refined test monitoring so relevant checks run when workflow or fixture changes occur.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The rootless portable-profile workflow now provisions Podman through a temporary runtime path and verifies binary resolution. New contract coverage validates this setup. Watch triggers distinguish portable-profile workflow changes from systemctl-shim fixture changes.

Changes

Portable profile runtime

Layer / File(s) Summary
Podman runtime provisioning and validation
.github/workflows/portable-profile-e2e.yaml, test/e2e/support/portable-profile-rootless-runtime-workflow.test.ts
The workflow requires executable /usr/bin/podman, creates a symlink in a temporary runtime directory, exports that directory through PATH and GITHUB_PATH, and verifies command resolution. The contract test validates the setup and execution order.
Portable profile watch-trigger mapping
test/helpers/vitest-watch-triggers.ts, test/vitest-watch-triggers.test.ts
Portable-profile workflow changes trigger both portable-profile tests. Systemctl-shim fixture changes trigger only the systemd-shim test.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 64ee2

The workflow now selects the distro-managed Podman binary for rootless builds and adds targeted contract coverage; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.
