This adds the canary script, but I have not run a real deploy: there is no DigitalOcean token in my environment, and my sandbox can only reach the forge. #8746 stays open until an owner runs it.
What changed
- Script:
scripts/pinned-canary.tsruns Deploy, Update and Rollback through/api/v1/admin/pinned, using an admin-scopeFORGE_TOKENfor the forge that holds the cloud account. The cloud token never passes through the script. It times each step and prints a table to paste into the doc. - Failure conditions: it exits 1 if a step is refused, if the state isn't
running, if no droplet id is recorded, or if the version isn't the one asked for. It also exits 1 if the whole run goes past 600 s, which--budgetcan change. A Rollback must land back on the first version. - Test:
test/pinned-canary.test.tsruns the script against a fake forge. It covers the call order, the timing, a wrong rollback version, an HTTP refusal and the budget. - Doc:
docs/features/pinned-forge.mdhas a new Canary section with the command to run. Its "Canary results" subsection says "Not run yet" and tells the owner to paste the table there.
Left undone
- The real run and its timing: there is no recorded time under 10 minutes yet.
- Cleanup: the driver has no delete, so the run leaves a droplet and a volume (about $13 a month). The owner removes them in the DigitalOcean console.
Checks
- The new test passes,
tscis clean, andscripts/gate.tsprinted nothing, so I believe it passed.
To try it
FORGE_TOKEN=<admin token> bun scripts/pinned-canary.ts https://your.forge --account <name> --app owner/name --source https://… --version <commit> --next <commit or tag>The issue (#8746) asks for a canary deploy on a real DigitalOcean account that finishes in under 10 minutes. This pull ships a script and a doc that says "Not run yet". Nothing shows the deploy working, and the preview has nothing to show for it. The test only proves the script against a fake that returns what the script expects, which is the same limit #8746 was opened to get past. Fix, in one round:
- Either have an owner run it and paste the real table into Canary results, or retitle the pull so it does not claim the canary. Right now it reads as closing a follow-up that is still open.
- Direction: the owner put the pipeline list first (#6534, #6611, #5276, #3316, #6217, #6428, #1242, #1073). This is feature work that is not on that list. Say in the pull why it goes ahead of them, or park it.
- Both doors: the canary is an operator script with no screen in src/tui/. State in the doc why it is exempt, or add the entry.
- Test gaps: the thrown-exception path (network error) is untested, and so is a missing droplet id. Add tests for both.
- Script: a --name default of canary-YYYYMMDD collides on a second run the same day. Add a time suffix. In the script, validate --version and --next against the 40-hex or vX.Y.Z format that the usage line promises, before any paid call, and check that --source is https.
- The script says an exit-1 failure leaves billable resources. On failure it should print the droplet and volume ids from the steps already recorded, so cleanup is possible. The table prints, but only for steps that completed.
I did not find a security problem: the token comes from the environment and the cloud token never passes through the script.
This pull ships the canary script for #8746 but does not close the issue. The real DigitalOcean run has not happened and the "Canary results" section still says "Not run yet". The new tests pass (7 of them), tsc is clean, and scripts/gate.ts printed nothing.
Changes made after the review
- Item 1: I can't run the canary myself, because I have no DigitalOcean token and my sandbox can only reach the forge. The doc now says the pull refers to #8746 and doesn't close it. The issue closes when an owner runs the one command in the doc and pastes the table into "Canary results". Please retitle the pull to something like "Pinned forge canary script (refs #8746)" if the forge's auto-title claims more than that.
- Item 2: The doc now says why this goes ahead of the pipeline list. It is a single script that touches nothing under
src/, and it makes the owner's run one command. If you'd rather park it behind the pipeline list, say so. - Item 3: The doc now explains the exemption. This is an operator script that drives the existing HTTP admin API. The terminal and
pinned_forgeuse the same actions, so there is no screen or MCP verb for it. - Item 4: I added tests for a thrown network error and for a response with no droplet id.
- Item 5:
- The default name is now canary-<date>-<time>, so a second run the same day doesn't collide.
- --version and --next must be a 40-hex commit id or vX.Y.Z. They must also differ from each other.
- --source must be https.
- All of these are checked before any paid call, and a bad input exits 2.
- There is a test for each.
- Item 6: On failure the script prints every droplet and volume id recorded by the steps so far. If nothing was recorded, it says so. A deploy that fails before the forge reports any id leaves nothing for the script to print, so those resources have to be found in the DigitalOcean console. The failing step is included, so a volume returned alongside a missing droplet id is still named.
Still not covered The tests use a fake forge, so they prove the script's logic but not the real deploy. Only the owner's run does that.
All six earlier asks are met. (1) The doc says the pull refers to #8746 and does not close it. (2) The doc says why this goes ahead of the pipeline list. (3) The doc explains why an operator script has no TUI screen or MCP verb. (4) Tests now cover a thrown request and a response with no droplet id. (5) The default name carries the time, versions and source are checked before any paid call, and each check has a test. (6) A failed run prints the droplet and volume ids it recorded. The change touches nothing under src/ and adds no dependency. README is untouched, and the how-to is in docs/features/pinned-forge.md. The script has not been run against a real account, and the doc says so. It is an operator script, so there are no preview pages to judge.
Next, both non-blocking:
- Non-blocking: give the fetch in scripts/pinned-canary.ts a timeout, for example AbortSignal.timeout(budget*1000). A hung forge currently stalls the run past the 600 s budget without failing it.
- Non-blocking: validate --name against a slug pattern before the first paid call, as is already done for versions and source. The name goes into a URL path unescaped.
This adds the canary script, but I have not run a real deploy: there is no DigitalOcean token in my environment, and my sandbox can only reach the forge. #8746 stays open until an owner runs it.
