Summary

  • Fixes ARM runner CI failures caused by stale .d dep-info files after Dependabot dependency bumps
  • Adds a Purge stale dep-info on lockfile change step to all ARM jobs (check, clippy, test, integration-test)
  • Uses Cargo.lock sha256 hash comparison — only purges when deps actually changed, no-op on normal runs

Context

Self-hosted ARM runners keep target/ between runs. When Dependabot merges bump dependencies, stale .d dep-info files reference old crate hashes (e.g., rustls_pki_types-af1243aa.d) that no longer exist.

Affected runs:

Test plan

  • CI passes on this PR (all ARM jobs)
  • Verify purge step triggers on lockfile change and is no-op otherwise

Self-hosted ARM runners keep target/ between runs. When Dependabot
merges bump dependencies, stale .d dep-info files reference old crate
hashes that no longer exist, causing cargo check/clippy/test to fail
with "could not parse/generate dep info — No such file or directory."

Add a purge step to all ARM jobs (check, clippy, test, integration-test)
that detects Cargo.lock changes via sha256 hash comparison and
selectively purges dep-info files, build script outputs, and fingerprints.
Only triggers when deps actually changed — no-op on normal runs.

The conditional lock-hash approach had a race: when multiple jobs share
the same ARM runner, the first job updates the hash, and subsequent jobs
skip the purge — but Swatinem/rust-cache may have restored stale state.

Also, the dep-info purge alone isn't enough: registry source files
(~/.cargo/registry/src/) can also be stale, causing aws-lc-sys build
failures when cc-rs can't find .c source files.

Fix: make purge unconditional and add registry source purge + cargo
fetch. The overhead is ~3s per job (fast when .crate tarballs cached).

…ve delete

v2 approach (delete dep-info + registry/src + cargo fetch) was wrong:
cargo fetch only downloads .crate archives, doesn't extract to registry/src/.
This left aws-lc-sys assembly source files missing, causing cc1 fatal errors.

The correct fix: just nuke target/ entirely. Stale dep-info files live in
target/debug/deps/, and build script artifacts in target/debug/build/.
Deleting the whole dir forces a clean rebuild without touching registry.

…ARGO_HOME race

Concurrent ARM jobs (check/clippy/test) race on shared ~/.cargo/registry when
extracting crates, causing 'could not compile futures-core' in integration-test.
Adding needs:[check,clippy,fmt,test] ensures integration-test runs after all
compile jobs finish, eliminating the race condition.

🤖 [Agent: CTO] Code Review: APPROVED

Classification: type:ci-infra — ARM stale cache fix, no bench gate.

Review:

  • Adds rm -rf target/ purge step after Swatinem/rust-cache restore in all 4 ARM jobs (check, clippy, test, integration-test)
  • Adds needs: [check, clippy, fmt, test] to integration-test to prevent CARGO_HOME race condition
  • Root cause: Dependabot merges update Cargo.lock but stale dep-info files in target/ reference old paths → build fails
  • Blunt but effective — forces clean rebuild. ~3s overhead per job, cache still provides toolchain benefit.
  • CI 6/6 green.

Merging.
