## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow tests the Runner in Daytona sandboxes from a signed, content-addressed image > - Every change to an audited Runner input needs a new image before a Daytona cell can test it > - The image job took 10 to 16.5 minutes today, and a restart chaos campaign waits on it after each runner-side fix > - Measurement shows two serial waits: a full Rust dependency compile (about 5 of 6.6 minutes) and a 3.5 to 4 minute download of cached base layers that starts only after the builder stages finish > - There is also no way to build only the image: every dispatch reaches a paid gate that the operator must reject > - This pull request removes both serial waits and adds an `image_only` dispatch input > - The benefit is a shorter fix-to-Daytona-test loop, with every image security check unchanged ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** The `Publish verified Daytona image` job is on the critical path of the control-plane restart chaos campaign. Builds today took 16.5 min (run 42240434011), 15 min (42253920727), 10.5 min (42259118276) and 16 min (42265637650). Run 42264611573 failed: its RunsOn runner lost communication with GitHub 7.6 minutes into the build step, during the Rust compile. GitHub has no log for that job. **Expected behavior** A Runner source change should not recompile the locked third-party Rust graph. Cached image layers should download while the builder stages compile. An operator should be able to publish only the image, without a paid gate. **Steps to reproduce** Read the BuildKit timeline in the logs of job 127970125495 (run 42240434011). See the stage table below. ## What Changed - `docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile`: compile the locked Rust dependency graph in its own layer against placeholder targets. The layer depends only on `Cargo.toml`, `Cargo.lock` and the crate manifest. The step deletes the placeholder outputs and fingerprints, so the next step always compiles the real Runner sources. The final stage still receives only the stripped executable. - `docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile`: move the content-ID / source-revision check above the two `COPY --from` steps. It does not depend on either builder stage, so BuildKit now downloads the cached base and CLI layers in parallel with the compile. Both copies use `COPY --link`. - `.github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`: add the boolean `image_only` dispatch input. `authorize`, `target_lock`, `catalog` and `daytona_image` run unchanged. Every other campaign job gets `&& inputs.image_only != true`. `authorize` rejects `image_only` together with TestOps inputs. - `tests/runner-e2e/workflow-image-only.test.ts` (new): pin the job classification, the top-level guard on each campaign job, the guard on every protected environment, and the TestOps rejection. - `tests/runner-e2e/README.md`: document the layer layout and the `image_only` command. ## Verification Measured on the same RunsOn `m7i-flex.xlarge` (4 vCPU, 16 GiB, native x64) runner class. "Before" is master job 127970125495 (run 42240434011). "After (cold)" is this branch, job 128077687214 (run 42271236140), with no dependency layer in the registry cache yet. Its paid gate was rejected. | Stage | Before | After (cold dependency cache) | |---|---|---| | Whole image job | 16.5 min | **11.6 min** | | Rust dependency graph | 311 s (inside one 399 s step) | 395 s (own layer; reused from cache after a master build) | | `paperclip-runner-core` compile | ~87 s | 65 s | | Cached base and CLI layer download | 236 s, **after** cargo finished | 257 s, **in parallel** with cargo | | Copy runnerd + provider pack | 20 s + 50 s | 9 s (`--link`) | | Provider pack stage | 143 s (parallel) | 152 s (parallel) | | Export + push | 82 s + 10 s | 81 s + 11 s | | Dependency layer size | n/a | `target` 852 MB + registry 333 MB (builder stage only) | With a warm dependency cache, a Runner source change compiles only the 65 s crate step. The critical path then becomes the ~4 min cached-layer download or the provider pack. The expected job time is about 7 to 8 min. I measure this after merge with an `image_only` dispatch (master first, to write the cache, then a Rust-only branch change). Disk: the instance starts with 38.76 GiB free. The dependency layer adds about 1.2 GB uncompressed to builder storage. The final image does not change. - `vitest run tests/runner-e2e/workflow-image-only.test.ts tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts tests/runner-e2e/daytona-image.test.ts`: the new test and all image tests pass. Three tests in `workflow-security.test.ts` (`gates every provider-secret job with stable actor IDs`, `keeps provider credentials inside explicitly gated paid workflows`, `isolates private archive trust from workflows that execute target-branch code`) fail on `origin/master` without this change, because of `chat-catalog-testops-case.yml`. This pull request does not change them. - `node --test tests/runner-e2e/product-regression-testops.test.mjs`: 15/15 pass. - No local Docker build. The Dockerfile is measured with a branch-targeted CI dispatch whose paid gate was rejected. ## Risks - The dependency layer keeps the Rust `target` and registry trees in a builder-stage layer, and default-branch builds export it to the registry cache. This adds builder disk and cache upload when `Cargo.lock` changes. The build prints the size (`du -sk target /usr/local/cargo/registry`). - The dependency cache helps only after a default-branch build writes it. Branch builds read it but never write it. This is the existing cache policy. - `image_only` changes the workflow, so it works only after merge to master. - No check is removed. Lockfile verification, cosign sign and verify, the anonymous pull check, the provider-pack manifest match, the default-branch-only cache write and the actor allowlist are unchanged. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, through Claude Code with tool use (shell, GitHub CLI).
