make bench-chromium-request-golden runs cmd_build and cmd_golden as separate
reqbench.sh processes with the TAG lock released between them. The checks
inside cmd_golden (disk cache key, prepared generation) only prove that
golden's own observation is self-consistent, so a tag repointed in that
window was snapshotted silently, with provenance stamped from the swap.

cmd_build now records the image ID it published (normalized sha256:<64hex>,
atomic mktemp+mv) in $DATA_ROOT/reqbench-locks/built-image-.id, and
cmd_golden, right after its atomic inspect, refuses a tag whose ID differs
from that record, naming both IDs. The record (or null when no build
preceded the golden) is committed into reqbench-provenance.json as
built_image_id. The tag, not the ID, is still what prepare receives: the
existing disk-key and prepared-generation checks close the windows inside
cmd_golden.

cmd_build also refuses to build when render.py, cdpdrive.py or wddrive.py in
the live repository differ from the sealed runtime bundle: the image COPYs
render.py from the repository while the cdp arm runs the bundle copy, and
the staging guard compares git HEAD only, which cannot see an uncommitted
edit, so the two arms could run different render code under a passing seal.

Fixes #813.

Tests (bench/chromium, stub-podman harness, no VM): four new tests, each
watched failing on the unfixed tree first:

  • test_build_records_the_image_id_it_published:
    AssertionError: '' != 'sha256:bbb...b'
  • test_golden_refuses_an_image_that_is_not_the_one_build_produced:
    AssertionError: 0 == 0 (golden exited 0 despite a mismatched record)
  • test_golden_records_a_matching_build_id_in_provenance:
    KeyError: 'built_image_id'
  • test_build_refuses_a_render_py_that_diverged_from_the_sealed_bundle:
    'render.py' not found in stderr, and the podman build marker existed
    All four pass with the fix. Full suite: python3 -m unittest test_reqbench,
    189 tests, failures=18 errors=4, failure names identical to the clean-main
    baseline run (185 tests, failures=18 errors=4; environment-bound teardown
    classes, no KVM on this box).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Builds now use a sealed, immutable source snapshot to prevent unintended source changes during image creation.
    • The exact image produced during a build is recorded and verified before generating golden results.
    • Golden runs now reject images that differ from the recorded build image.
    • Snapshot provenance now includes and validates the built image identity.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for image identity tracking, source validation, provenance recording, and immutable build behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The benchmark build now seals source files, records the exact produced image ID, validates that ID during golden generation, and stores it in snapshot provenance. Regression tests cover source divergence, mid-build mutation, tag replacement, and image identity.

Changes

reqbench image binding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sealed build and image identity
bench/chromium/reqbench.sh, bench/chromium/test_reqbench.py
cmd_build verifies sealed sources, builds from an immutable context, records the --iidfile image ID, and validates that exact image. Tests cover source divergence, repository mutation, and tag/image ID differences.
Golden image validation and provenance
bench/chromium/reqbench.sh, bench/chromium/test_reqbench.py
cmd_golden rejects tags that resolve to a different image than the recorded build ID. Matching IDs are written to reqbench-provenance.json. Tests cover both matching and mismatched identities.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d1e2c

The change binds golden runs to a built image, but colliding record names and stale records can reject valid images or attach incorrect build provenance. The PR is not merge-ready until record identity and transaction scoping are fixed.

…ed context

cmd_build read the image ID with podman image inspect after podman build
returned, so a retag of $IMAGE in that window recorded the replacement's ID
and the build-to-golden handshake then blessed the replacement. The build now
passes --iidfile, which makes podman record the ID of the image this build
produced as part of the build operation itself; the recorded value is
normalized to sha256:<64hex> and validated, and the HEALTHCHECK assertion
inspects that ID instead of the retaggable tag.

cmd_build also compared the sealed sources against the live repository and
then handed podman that same mutable repository as the build context, so an
edit landing between the cmp and podman's COPY still baked diverged bytes
while the cdp arm ran the sealed copy. The build now stages an immutable
context (bench/chromium top-level files plus pages/, cp --reflink=auto,
bench/chromium/ relative paths preserved, Containerfile included) and
overwrites render.py, cdpdrive.py and wddrive.py from the runtime bundle.
The cmp stays as a fail-fast pre-check.

Red watched failing before the fix (stub-podman harness, no VM):
- test_build_records_the_id_of_the_image_it_built_not_the_tags:
  AssertionError: 'sha256:fff...' != 'sha256:aaa...' (the handshake recorded
  the ID the retagged tag resolved to, not the built image's).
- test_build_bakes_the_sealed_bytes_when_the_repo_mutates_mid_build:
  the recorded context bytes ended in '# edit landed while podman was
  reading the context', appended by the stub after every pre-check passed.

Both pass with the fix. The existing build-records test's podman stub now
honors --iidfile and drops its image-inspect branch, so a regression back to
inspecting the tag after the build fails instead of passing silently.
Full suite: python3 -m unittest test_reqbench, 191 tests, failures=18
errors=4, failure names diffed identical to the clean-branch baseline
(environment-bound teardown classes).

Two review findings on the build-to-golden handshake:

- tr '/:' '__' is not injective, so localhost/a_b:c and localhost/a:b_c
  shared one record file and could clobber each other. The filename now
  keys on sha256 of the full image name;
  test_build_record_paths_do_not_collide_across_image_names was red on
  the substitution (both the collision and a shell/python path
  disagreement) and also pins byte-for-byte agreement between
  built_image_id_file and the test helper by sourcing the real script.
- The record had no transaction identity and outlived its golden, so a
  later golden with no build of its own inherited it, attesting a stale
  built_image_id or rejecting a legitimately retagged image. golden now
  claims the record with an atomic rename and removes it after reading;
  test_golden_consumes_the_build_record was red on the persisting file.

Tested: both tests watched failing with the pre-fix reqbench.sh stashed
(the tests and hashed helper in place), green after; the build/golden
test subset is OK and the full test_reqbench failure set is the same 22
environment-bound names as the baseline.

NOT-A-DEFECT: the review bodies are summaries and reviewer auto-replies; both inline findings are dispositioned in their threads, RED-VERIFIED in d1e2c4a: the image ID is captured by podman build --iidfile as part of the build itself, and the image is built from an immutable staged context whose sealed sources come from the runtime bundle.
