Conversation
…t realises The `--sol-shell` capability realises `github:rainlanguage/rainix#sol-shell`, a remote flake carrying the Solidity toolchain. Nothing rooted that ~1.7 GiB closure, so the collector took it — weekly `nix-collect-garbage`, and `min-free` mid-build — and the next producer run rebuilt it inside preflight, before `campaign run START`. Measured 11m 26s on 2026-08-16 01:00, against 1s warm. The root is taken by the probe itself, in the same `nix develop` that realises the closure, so the rooted ref and the probed ref are one argv and cannot drift. That matters here: the org's Solidity checks run at a per-checkout `rainix/<RAINIX_SHA>#sol-shell`, so rooting a pinned ref would root a shell the preflight never enters. A root that cannot be placed degrades to the unrooted probe that shipped before and reports itself on a `root` line; it never reaches `missing=`, because the capability holds either way. Superseded generations are pruned after a successful probe, so a rainix HEAD bump does not leave a rooted closure nothing enters again.

Nix 2.31 manual keep-outputs keep-derivations garbage collector semantics
💡 Result:
In Nix 2.31, the garbage collector (GC) behavior is determined by the keep-derivations and keep-outputs configuration settings [1][2]. These options control which files in the Nix store are considered "live" and thus preserved during collection [1][2]. keep-derivations (default: true) When enabled, this option ensures that all derivations (.drv files) that are build-time dependencies of your GC roots are preserved [1][3]. Because build-time dependencies are required to rebuild a package, keeping them prevents unnecessary re-downloading or re-building of dependencies [1][3]. keep-outputs (default: false) When enabled, this option instructs the GC to consider the output paths of any "live" derivation as live themselves [1][4]. Ordinarily, Nix tracks runtime dependencies (what a program needs to run); keep-outputs essentially expands the set of protected files to include all outputs of derivations that are currently reachable via GC roots [1][4]. Summary of Semantics - The default configuration (keep-derivations=true, keep-outputs=false) keeps the derivations (build recipes) necessary to reconstruct your roots and the runtime dependencies of those roots [1][3]. - Enabling both (keep-derivations=true, keep-outputs=true) is often used during development [1][3]. It creates a broader preservation set, ensuring that even if a path is not a direct runtime dependency, it will not be deleted if it is an output of a derivation that is still referenced [1][4]. This helps maintain quick rebuild times by keeping intermediate build artifacts in the store [1][3]. You can verify which paths would be affected by the GC by using the --print-dead or --print-live flags with nix-store --gc [1][5][6].

site:releases.nixos.org/nix/nix-2.31.3/manual keep-derivations outputs reachable GC roots
💡 Result:
There is no configuration option named keep-derivations in the official Nix 2.31.3 documentation. Nix manages garbage collection (GC) by identifying reachable store objects via GC roots, which are primarily established through profiles (such as those managed by nix-env) or by explicitly registering paths using the --add-root flag with commands like nix-store --realise or nix-build [1][2][3][4]. While the documentation discusses keep-going and keep-failed as options to manage build behavior during failures, none of these options establish persistent GC roots for derivations [1][3][5]. If you are looking to prevent the garbage collector from removing derivations or their outputs, you must ensure they are reachable from a GC root, such as by including them in a profile or using --add-root to create a symlink to them in a location monitored by the garbage collector [2][4][6].

Nix manual keep-outputs keep-derivations "reachable" "GC roots"
💡 Result:
In Nix, garbage collection (GC) works by removing all paths in the Nix store that are not reachable from a set of defined "GC roots" [1][2]. GC roots are paths (usually symlinks) that point to store paths, effectively marking them and their dependencies as "live" [1][2]. The configuration options keep-outputs and keep-derivations influence how the garbage collector treats paths during this process [3][4][5]. keep-derivations - Default: true [3][4][6] - Function: When true, the garbage collector will keep the derivation files (.drv) used to build any store path that is currently being kept (i.e., not garbage) [3][4]. - Benefit: This provides better traceability and allows you to query how a path was built, including its build-time dependencies [3][4]. - Note: Setting this to false can save disk space by removing the derivation files themselves [3][4]. keep-outputs - Default: false [3][4][6] - Function: When true, the garbage collector will keep all outputs of any derivation that is currently being kept [3][4]. - Benefit: This is often useful for development. Even if an output is not explicitly registered as a GC root or reachable from one, it will be preserved if the corresponding derivation is still kept [3][4]. It also helps prevent the removal of build-time dependencies that are otherwise not part of the runtime closure [3][4]. - Note: When false (the default), only outputs that are GC roots (or reachable from them) are preserved [3][4]. In summary, the default configuration (keep-derivations=true, keep-outputs=false) ensures that build-time information (derivations) is retained for all kept paths, while only strictly necessary outputs (those reachable from roots) are preserved [5]. Enabling keep-outputs=true effectively extends the "live" set to include all outputs of all kept derivations, which can simplify development workflows at the cost of higher disk usage [3][5].

CodeRabbit on #324: `sol_shell_gcroot` rejects `/` as well as relative paths, but the doc said only "must be ABSOLUTE" and no test covered it — so the behaviour was correct and unguarded, which is the state a later tidy-up removes. `/` is what an empty variable expands to in a half-written `${FOO}/bar`, and taking it would put the profile at `/issue-pr-cron/gcroots/` — outside any state dir, unwritable to this user, and a root nothing would look for. Refused, `XDG_STATE_HOME=/` falls back to HOME the way an unset one does; with both `/` there is no state dir to name and the probe goes unrooted, which is the documented degrade rather than an abort. Both cases now asserted. Dropping the `!= "/"` clause fails the fallback assertion, so the test discriminates. 1409 green, fmt and clippy -D warnings clean. The review's second finding needs no change: the README already states that `keep-outputs`/`keep-derivations` preserve what is reachable FROM a root and did nothing here for want of one.

What was wrong
preflight --sol-shellrealisesgithub:rainlanguage/rainix#sol-shell(
main.rs,SOL_SHELL_FLAKE) — a remote flake carrying the Solidity toolchain,~1.7 GiB of closure, nothing this repo builds and nothing this repo's own roots
reach. It realised that closure and walked away, so the collector took it, and
the next producer run rebuilt it inside preflight, before
campaign run START.Reproduced on the box before touching anything — the issue's claim, checked
rather than restated:
And the cost, from
campaign.log(usage-gateline →campaign run START):The fix: the probe roots what the probe realises
preflight --sol-shellnow runs— the same command, one flag wider.
nix develop --profileis the documentedway to keep a dev shell alive, and the profile it writes is a real GC root
(registered as an indirect root under
/nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto), so itsurvives both collectors named in the issue: the weekly
nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than 14dandmin-free/max-freecollecting mid-build.
--profile, notnix build --out-link:sol-shellis a devShell, whichnix buildrefuses to build.Why the probe takes the root, rather than a timer or a separate build step.
The rooted ref and the probed ref are one argv, so they cannot drift. Any
separate rooting step spells
github:rainlanguage/rainix#sol-shella secondtime, and a second spelling is a second source of truth for which shell this
pipeline pays for — the exact hazard the scope check below is about. It also
means the root refreshes itself on every producer tick, with nothing to schedule
and nothing to go stale.
Where it lives:
$XDG_STATE_HOME/issue-pr-cron/gcroots/sol-shell, default~/.local/state/issue-pr-cron/gcroots/sol-shell. Both env inputs must beabsolute or no root is taken: the producer's cwd is
$WORK_DIR, so arelative one would resolve inside a work clone, where
clone_releaseand thenightly sweep delete it — that is the 11 minutes back plus a log line claiming
a root was placed.
A root that cannot be placed is not a failure. No absolute
XDG_STATE_HOMEor
HOME, an uncreatable directory — each degrades to the unrooted probe thatshipped before and says so on a
rootline. The line never reachesmissing=:the capability holds either way, and the only cost is that the next cold run is
slow again. A note that could abort a run would be a verdict wearing a note's
name.
Superseded generations are pruned (
nix-env --profile … --delete-generations old) after a successful probe.nix develop --profilereuses its generationwhile the realised shell is unchanged, but makes a new one when rainix HEAD
moves — and the old generation stays a root holding a closure nothing enters
again. Trading an 11-minute stall for unbounded growth on the volume
min-freewatches would be the same bug with its sign flipped.
Demonstrated on the box, with the built binary
The root is taken, and it roots the toolchain.
The rooted
nix-shell-envclosure is 349 paths / 1.7 GiB and containsfoundry-0.0.0,solc-static-0.8.25,solc-select,slither-analyzer— thetoolchain the 11 minutes was spent rebuilding.
A second run adds no generation (same shell → generation 1 reused, no
-2-link).An unplaceable root degrades and does not gate:
A superseded generation is pruned: with generations 1 (sol-shell) and 2 (a
foreign shell) present, the next preflight makes generation 3 and leaves only
generation 3 behind.
On the acceptance criterion
The issue asks for "a producer run on a store from which the toolchain has been
collected". With the root in place that state cannot be reached, which is the
point — so the demonstrable equivalent is the before/after above: the toolchain
went from no roots to a root the collector must honour. The 11m 26s figure
is the issue's measurement, not re-measured here: re-measuring it means
deliberately collecting the toolchain on the live producer host, and a producer
run was active (17:01) throughout this work. That is the one thing I did not
prove by running it.
Scope check 1 — does the vetter share this preflight? No.
campaign-run.sh:307—pr-review-report preflight --gh-auth --sol-shellreview-run.sh:272—pr-review-report preflight, no capability flagsCapabilities are opt-in per runner by design, and the reason is written where
they are declared: the vetter reads PRs through the FSM tool surface and builds
nothing, so making it realise a Solidity shell spends a nix evaluation on a
capability it never uses — "a gate that costs a runner something for nothing is
a gate that gets switched off".
CLAUDE.mdstates the same rule one level up:the vetter is read-only on the filesystem.
Confirmed empirically rather than only by reading: every preflight block in
review.logprints exactly two lines,pdftoppmandpdfinfo— nogh-authline, no
sol-shellline — and the vetter'susage-gate→review run STARTgap is 0s on every run in the file, including runs on mornings when the producer
had just paid the 11 minutes.
So the root serves the producer only, and
review-run.shis deliberatelyunchanged. Adding
--sol-shellto the vetter to "share the root" would be aregression: it would make the read-only runner realise a 1.7 GiB toolchain it
has no use for, and on a cold store it would pay the 11 minutes to do it.
Scope check 2 — pinned or unpinned? The unpinned ref is rooted, and they cannot converge.
What is rooted:
github:rainlanguage/rainix#sol-shell, unpinned, which isSOL_SHELL_FLAKEverbatim — the ref the preflight probe realises, and thereforethe ref the whole 11 minutes was spent on.
They cannot converge, in either direction:
realise a rainix shell and run
forgeat all", against whatever rainix HEADis. As the declaration says, a SHA here would prove a shell no clone ever
enters.
github:rainlanguage/rainix/<RAINIX_SHA>#sol-shell, whereRAINIX_SHAisread out of the rainix reusable at the ref each consumer repo's workflow
names — resolved per checkout, in
rainix_sha/RAINIX_SOL_LEAVES. Over the45 foundry repos in the pipeline's org scope (the measurement recorded beside
that code): 35 use the rainix reusables at their own pins, 4 run the calling
repo's own flake at its own
flake.lock, and the rest gate no Solidity checkat all. That is a set of refs that changes when any consumer bumps, not one
ref.
So rooting a pinned ref would root a shell the preflight never enters and
leave the measured one collectable — the failure mode the issue warned about.
What this does not cover, stated rather than implied: the per-checkout
pinned shells a producer enters when it actually runs
forgeinside a workclone are a separate cost, and no single root can cover them, because the set is
per-repo and moves. This PR fixes the measured 11 minutes, which is entirely the
preflight's. If the in-clone realisations turn out to cost real wall clock, that
is its own issue with its own measurement — plausibly answered by rooting each
resolved
RAINIX_SHAshell assol-toolchainresolves it, which is a differentmechanism in a different place.
Systemd — no unit change is needed, and here is why
~/CRON-BOX-HANDOFF.mdis this box's source of truth and its units are systemd,so this was checked rather than assumed. Nothing outside the repo has to change:
cron-common.confruns the jobs underProtectSystem=strict, but alreadycarries
ReadWritePaths=/home/thedavidmeister/.local, so the producer unitcan write
~/.local/state/issue-pr-cron/gcroots/as it stands. Verified byrunning the built binary; no
daemon-reload, no drop-in.it can never be staler than the last run. A refresher timer would also be the
second spelling of the flake ref this design exists to avoid.
nix-envis on the unit'sPATH(
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin) alongsidenix. If it ever is not, theprune reports itself on a
rootline and nothing fails.One out-of-repo follow-up I did NOT do, deliberately:
~/CRON-BOX-HANDOFF.mdhas a "Do not delete~/.local/state/cron-box/roots/"note listing the five job-closure GC roots. This adds a sixth root, in a
different directory (
~/.local/state/issue-pr-cron/gcroots/), and that fileshould gain a line saying so. It is outside this repo and it is the box's
handoff document, so I have left it to a human rather than editing the live
system's documentation from a PR.

nix develop's own grammar —--profileis a flag ofnix developand mustprecede the installable — not from reading

the weekly timer and the
min-freecollection) plus two scope questions;covered — the root is a real GC root, so it survives both collectors by
construction, and both scope questions are answered above with the evidence
they were checked against.
