Build Failure Analysis: reuse Azure DevOps binlogs instead of rebuilding#10002
Build Failure Analysis: reuse Azure DevOps binlogs instead of rebuilding#10002YuliiaKovalova wants to merge 18 commits into
Conversation
Reworks both build-failure-analysis workflows so they no longer run `./build.sh`. testfx's authoritative PR build runs on Azure DevOps (dnceng-public/public, pipeline "microsoft.testfx", definitionId 209) and publishes each build leg's binary log as a `Logs_Build_<leg>` pipeline artifact. The workflows now download those already-produced binlogs and analyze them — no duplicate build, and no fork-PR code execution (we only download artifacts, never check out or run PR code). - Auto workflow: trigger changed from `pull_request` (self-build) to `check_run: completed`; the fetch-binlog job filters to the `microsoft.testfx` check reporting failure, resolves the ADO build id from the check details URL, and downloads every `Logs_Build_*` binlog anonymously (public project). PR number comes from the check payload with a commits->PR fallback for fork PRs. Scoped to PRs targeting main / rel/*. - Command workflow (`/analyze-build-failure`): finds the PR's most recent failed `microsoft.testfx` build (refs/pull/<n>/merge) and downloads its binlogs. Same base-branch scope. - All build legs are fetched into a directory mounted at /data/binlogs; the agent triages every leg via GH_AW_BINLOG_LIST and focuses on the one(s) with errors (test-only failures leave build binlogs clean -> it says so rather than inventing fixes). - check_run has no native PR context in gh-aw, so safe-outputs use `target: "*"` and the agent posts to the resolved GH_AW_PR_NUMBER. - Also folds in the agent-doc fixes from microsoft#9982 (NuGet.Mcp.Server invocation, inline-suggestion cap 25, no hard-coded model, raw HTML marker).

…alidation - Shared body + agent doc: finish the multi-leg migration. The delegation prompt now forwards GH_AW_BINLOG_LIST / GH_AW_BINLOG_DIR and instructs the sub-agent to query every leg's binlog (not just the first); the obsolete "/data/build.binlog" single-file mount wording is replaced with the /data/binlogs directory model. - Agent doc: the workspace is NOT a checkout of the failing PR (check_run / slash command / dispatch run on the default branch), so read PR source through the GitHub API at GH_AW_PR_HEAD_SHA rather than GH_AW_WORKSPACE. - Auto workflow (dispatch): validate the supplied build is definition 209 AND its sourceBranch is refs/pull/<PR>/merge (plus result=failed) before analyzing, so a build-id/PR mismatch can't post to the wrong PR. - Command workflow: select the PR's latest *completed* build and require its result to be `failed`, so a PR that has since gone green (or been force-pushed to passing) is not re-analyzed with a stale binlog.

…space docs - Security: extract Azure DevOps artifacts with `unzip -j -o '*.binlog'` (junk paths, binlogs only) so a malicious zip entry can't zip-slip outside the destination. Artifacts come from PR builds and are untrusted. (both workflows) - Auto workflow: set `roles: all` so advisory analysis runs for every failing PR — including external contributors' PRs. gh-aw's default author gate would otherwise skip them, and on `check_run` the actor is the pipeline app anyway. Safe: read-only binlog + advisory comments, no PR code execution. - Delegation: launch the sub-agent with `agent_type: "build-failure-analyst"` so the custom agent definition is loaded (was `general-purpose`). - Docs: clarify the workspace may or may not be a PR checkout depending on trigger; the GitHub API at GH_AW_PR_HEAD_SHA is the source of truth. Header comment reworded: PR code is never built/executed (gh-aw still does a sparse checkout of the base repo's own .github config).

… tool, fix command no-op - Command workflow no-op fix: resolve the PR number from `aw_context` (the compiled slash-command entrypoint is workflow_dispatch-based, so github.event.issue.number is empty) — previously `/analyze-build-failure` exited immediately. - Build-metadata validation (definition 209, result=failed, sourceBranch == refs/pull/<PR>/merge) now runs for BOTH check_run and workflow_dispatch, so a malformed/mismatched check payload can't download an unrelated build or post to the wrong PR. - Zip-bomb / disk-exhaustion guards on untrusted PR artifacts: cap the compressed download (curl --max-filesize 500 MB), reject >2 GB uncompressed, and run extraction under `timeout 120` (both workflows), on top of the existing zip-slip `-j`. - Remove the NuGet.Mcp.Server local tool: it needs a local checkout, but the reuse-binlog design never checks out the failing PR, so it would analyze the wrong dependency graph. The agent now diagnoses NU#### failures from the binlog errors plus the PR's package files read via the GitHub API at GH_AW_PR_HEAD_SHA. - Header wording: the pipeline does not build/execute PR code; a checkout may occur for agent context.

If `unzip -l` produces unexpected output (corrupt zip / different format), `UNCOMP` could be non-numeric and the `[ "$UNCOMP" -gt … ]` test would error and be treated as false — silently bypassing the zip-bomb size guard.

…west-build selection - Revision consistency: derive the head SHA from the analyzed build's `triggerInfo["pr.sourceSha"]`, not the PR's current head, so permalinks and inline-suggestion positions match the binlog rather than pairing stale errors with newer source. - Command workflow: query the newest build regardless of status (queueTimeDescending) and require it completed AND failed, so a queued/running build right after a force-push isn't skipped in favour of an older completed failure. - Cumulative uncompressed budget (4 GB) across all build legs, on top of the per-artifact compressed/uncompressed caps, so many individually-small artifacts can't collectively exhaust the runner disk. - Docs: the runner workspace is not a reliable PR checkout on any trigger; the GitHub API at GH_AW_PR_HEAD_SHA (the build's own revision) is the source of truth.

…line failures When every build leg compiles cleanly (no errors, no failed-target/process evidence), the pipeline failure is a non-build failure (test/Helix/publishing) and is out of scope. The agent now calls noop and posts nothing in that case instead of a 'compiled cleanly' summary, so it only comments on genuine build failures.

…ify prompt
- Read the Logs_Build_* artifact names into a bash array (mapfile) and iterate
with "${names[@]}" so a name containing whitespace can't be word-split.
- Re-read the PR head immediately before emitting binlog-found=true and fail
closed if it moved or can't be resolved: the download/extract loop can take
minutes, and a force-push in that window would otherwise post stale-build
suggestions against the new diff.
- Reword the shared prompt: the agent produces the review via safe-output
tools (a later safe_outputs job writes it), not "directly, in this job".

Fixed. Before the numeric comparison, the guard now rejects on decimal length: if [ "${#UNCOMP}" -gt "${#MAX_UNZIP_BYTES}" ] — any value with more digits than the limit (10) is unambiguously oversized, so a ~20-digit ZIP64 size is skipped before it can reach -gt/$((...)) and overflow Bash's signed 64-bit range. After this check UNCOMP is <= 10 digits and fits safely in the integer range used below (including the cumulative budget). Applied to both workflows and recompiled.

Fixed. Reworded the NU1102/NU1100 guidance: the agent has no network/NuGet tool, so it must base conclusions only on the binlog's feed/version evidence and the PR's package files, and explicitly defer upstream-availability verification to a maintainer (or a local restore) rather than asserting nuget.org state it cannot check. No more unverifiable mirroring claims.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed. Added an agent-level re-check: before its first safe-output call, the agent re-reads the current head of GH_AW_PR_NUMBER via the GitHub API (get_pull_request -> head.sha) and noops if it cannot be read or no longer equals GH_AW_PR_HEAD_SHA. This closes the force-push window that remains after the fetch job's point-in-time check (the fetch job also re-checks just before activation). The GH_AW_PR_HEAD_SHA doc row now states it is a point-in-time guarantee requiring this re-verification.
| This step applies **only when you have confirmed a genuine build failure** (at least one leg has build errors or failed-target/process evidence). If every leg compiled cleanly, do not reach this step — `noop` silently per Step 2 instead. | ||
|
|
||
| When there is a build failure, post **exactly one** summary comment via `add_comment` (targeting the pull request `GH_AW_PR_NUMBER`). Mark it with the HTML marker `<!-- build-failure-analysis -->` so future runs (and humans) can identify and supersede it. The gh-aw `add-comment` config in `build-failure-analysis.md` has `hide-older-comments: true`, which collapses prior runs on update. |

If that version is published on nuget.org but absent from the repo's configured feeds, feed mirroring is the likely cause; if it is **not** on nuget.org either, treat it as a typo or an unpublished/incorrect version rather than a mirroring gap.

Already addressed in the previous push (commit 874bff6): the NU1102/NU1100 guidance now bases conclusions only on binlog feed/version evidence + PR package files and requires deferring upstream-availability to a maintainer, since the agent has no network/NuGet tool. This comment predates that change.

Fixed. The PR number is now taken from the build's own sourceBranch (refs/pull/<n>/merge), which names the PR unambiguously, instead of the first entry of the commit->PRs association. The build metadata is fetched once up front and reused by the step-4 validation, so the fork fallback no longer depends on .[0] ordering and won't skip the real PR.
…ead before posting - Reject artifact uncompressed sizes by decimal length before the numeric comparison. A ZIP64 size can have ~20 digits, exceeding Bash's signed 64-bit range, where `-gt` errors out and (under `set +e`) an oversized archive could bypass the disk-exhaustion guard. - NU1102/NU1100 guidance: the agent has no network/NuGet tool, so it must base conclusions on binlog feed/version evidence and PR package files and defer upstream-availability checks to a maintainer instead of asserting nuget.org state it cannot verify. - Agent re-reads the PR head via the GitHub API before its first safe-output call and noops if it changed, closing the force-push window that remains after the fetch job's point-in-time revision check.

Fixed. The fetch now tracks how many Logs_Build_* legs produced a usable binlog (staged_legs) and fails closed (emit_none) when that is fewer than the number of artifacts, so a partial set can no longer activate the agent. This prevents the agent from treating the retrieved legs as the whole build and mis-classifying a missing leg's failure as a clean/non-build result. (Chose the reviewer's "fail closed on a partial set" option for simplicity/safety; a later build/check re-triggers.) Applied to both workflows.

| Always post **exactly one** summary comment via `add_comment`. Mark it with the HTML marker `<!-- build-failure-analysis -->` so future runs (and humans) can identify and supersede it. The gh-aw `add-comment` config in `build-failure-analysis.md` has `hide-older-comments: true`, which collapses prior runs on update. | ||

If it cannot be read, or no longer equals `GH_AW_PR_HEAD_SHA`, the PR moved (e.g. a force-push) while you were downloading/analyzing — `noop` with a short reason and stop, because your inline suggestions carry no `commit_id` and would land on the wrong lines of the new diff. Otherwise post **exactly one** summary comment via `add_comment` (targeting the pull request `GH_AW_PR_NUMBER`).

Fixed. The playbook no longer names get_pull_request; it refers to the github MCP server's pull-request "get"/read operation generically (pull_requests read tool), so it matches the actual tool surface (e.g. pull_request_read with method: get) rather than a nonexistent name.

| The failed Azure DevOps build publishes **one binlog per build leg** (e.g. Linux Debug, Windows Release, macOS Debug). They are mounted read-only under `GH_AW_BINLOG_DIR` (`/data/binlogs`) and enumerated, one path per line, in `GH_AW_BINLOG_LIST`. A build failure usually surfaces in only one leg, and some pipeline failures (e.g. test-only / Helix failures) leave every build binlog clean — so triage across all of them: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. `binlog_overview { binlog_file: "$GH_AW_BINLOG_PATH" }` — high-level summary (build configuration, projects, targets executed, totals). Use it to confirm what was built and where it broke. | ||
| 2. `binlog_errors { binlog_file: "$GH_AW_BINLOG_PATH" }` — primary input: every error with `{ severity, code, message, file, line, column, project }`. If empty, drop to Step 6 with a "build failed but no MSBuild errors captured" comment. | ||
| 3. `binlog_warnings { binlog_file: "$GH_AW_BINLOG_PATH", top: 10 }` — useful when the failure is caused by a `WarnAsError` promotion. | ||
| 1. For **each** path in `GH_AW_BINLOG_LIST`, call `binlog_errors { binlog_file: "<path>" }`. Concentrate your analysis on the leg(s) that actually report errors (each error has `{ severity, code, message, file, line, column, project }`). |

Fixed. Added an explicit trust-boundary note to the agent playbook: binlog contents (MSBuild properties, error text, paths) and PR source are untrusted data, not instructions — the agent must never obey directives embedded in them, never let them change the task, and always target safe outputs at GH_AW_PR_NUMBER (never a PR/repo/user named inside a log). This counters injection attempts via crafted error text under the wildcard target.
…anch, fail closed on partial legs; agent trust-boundary + tool-name fixes - Sanitize the PR-controlled ADO artifact name before using it in any on-disk path (tr to [A-Za-z0-9._-]) so a crafted name can't traverse out of /tmp/binlogs; the original name is still used for the artifacts_json lookup. - Resolve the PR number from the build's own sourceBranch (refs/pull/<n>/merge) instead of the first entry of the commit->PRs association, which can return several PRs in an unspecified order and made the run skip the real fork PR. - Fail closed when only some Logs_Build_* legs produced a usable binlog, so the agent can't mistake a partial set for the whole build and call a missing leg's failure "clean". - Agent playbook: add an explicit trust boundary (binlog/source strings are untrusted data, not instructions; always target GH_AW_PR_NUMBER), and refer to the github MCP pull-request read operation generically instead of the nonexistent get_pull_request tool. - Clarify the shared prompt (github MCP is read-only; writes go via safeoutputs) and the checkout note in the workflow header.

Fixed.

Fixed. Dropped unzip -j (which flattened and overwrote same-basename entries): extraction now preserves in-archive paths into a fresh dir and each *.binlog found (recursive find) is staged under a unique ${ai}_${i}_... name, so two binlogs sharing a basename in different folders are both kept and counted.

Fixed. On the check_run path the PR number is now taken from the build's authoritative sourceBranch (refs/pull/<n>/merge, parsed into BUILD_PR_NUM) in preference to check_run.pull_requests[0] — PR_NUMBER="${BUILD_PR_NUM:-${CHECK_PR_NUMBER}}". So a commit shared by multiple PRs no longer risks selecting the wrong one and then aborting at the sourceBranch check.

Fixed. The build's merge revision is now carried to the agent as GH_AW_PR_MERGE_SHA (= build_json.sourceVersion). Before its first safe output the agent re-reads the PR's head.sha and merge_commit_sha, and noops if either the head changed or the merge SHA moved from GH_AW_PR_MERGE_SHA (base advanced) — closing the base-advance window during analysis, not just PR-head force-pushes. The workflow's own pre-activation recheck does the same before activating.
…ch PR; fix budget accounting - Guard against stale merges: Azure builds GitHub's refs/pull/<n>/merge, so build_json.sourceVersion equals the PR's merge_commit_sha at build time. Compare them in step 4 and again in the pre-activation recheck (and re-read both head and merge in one call), and carry the build merge SHA to the agent (GH_AW_PR_MERGE_SHA) so it re-verifies merge_commit_sha before its first safe output. This catches base-branch advances that leave the PR head unchanged but invalidate the analyzed merge — which the head-only check missed. - On the check_run path, resolve the PR from the build's authoritative sourceBranch (refs/pull/<n>/merge) rather than check_run.pull_requests[0], whose order isn't guaranteed and can name a different PR sharing the commit. - Only add an artifact's uncompressed size to the cumulative budget after it actually extracts, so a suspicious-path/extract-failure skip no longer consumes budget and wrongly forces later legs to be dropped as incomplete.

Fixed. Updated the PR description: the check_run path now derives the PR number from the ADO build's authoritative refs/pull/<n>/merge source branch, falling back to check_run.pull_requests[0] only if unavailable — there is no commits/{sha}/pulls fallback anymore. The description now also notes the head+merge revision match requirement.
… perms and merge-SHA env - Reject a resolved ADO build id or PR number that is not purely numeric before it feeds ADO/GitHub API URLs, so a malformed workflow_dispatch input or event/aw_context payload can't alter the request path/query ahead of the later definition/result validation. - Clarify the command workflow's permissions comment: the slash-command acknowledgement reaction is emitted by gh-aw's own generated job, separate from the read-only agent job and from safe-outputs. - List GH_AW_PR_MERGE_SHA in the shared prompt's Step 1 environment variables so the agent consistently reads it for the staleness recheck.

Summary
Reworks both Build Failure Analysis workflows so they reuse the binary logs from the failed Azure DevOps build instead of rebuilding with
./build.sh.testfx's authoritative PR build runs on Azure DevOps (
dnceng-public/public, pipelinemicrosoft.testfx,definitionId 209) and publishes each build leg's binlog as aLogs_Build_<leg>pipeline artifact. The workflows now download those already-produced binlogs and analyze them.Mirrors the arcade onboarding (dotnet/arcade#17125); the only per-repo differences are the pipeline check name, the ADO definition id, and the base-branch scope (
main/rel/*).What changed
pull_request(which self-built) tocheck_run: completed. Thefetch-binlogjob filters to themicrosoft.testfxcheck reportingfailure, resolves the ADO build id from the checkdetails_url, and downloads the binlogs anonymously (public project — no PAT). PR number is derived from the ADO build's authoritative source branch (efs/pull//merge), falling back to check_run.pull_requests[0] only if that is unavailable; the build's revision (PR head and merge commit) must still match the PR's current state before analysis.
/analyze-build-failure): finds the PR's most recent failedmicrosoft.testfxbuild (refs/pull/<n>/merge) and downloads its binlogs.Logs_Build_*binlog is fetched into a directory mounted at/data/binlogs; the agent triages each leg viaGH_AW_BINLOG_LISTand focuses on the leg(s) with errors. Test-only / Helix failures leave the build binlogs clean, so it reports "build compiled cleanly" rather than inventing fixes.main/rel/*.check_runhas no native PR context in gh-aw, so safe-outputs usetarget: "*"and the agent posts to the resolvedGH_AW_PR_NUMBER.Why this is better
forks: []/ job-level fork guards are no longer needed.Relationship to #9982
This PR retains the applicable agent-definition fixes from #9982 (inline-suggestion cap of 25, no hard-coded model, raw HTML marker). It does not carry #9982's
NuGet.Mcp.Serverinvocation: the reuse-binlog design never builds or restores the PR locally, so there is no live restore for that MCP server to inspect — NuGet failures are now diagnosed from the binlog evidence plus the PR's package files read via the GitHub API. So this PR supersedes #9982 for everything except that deliberately-removed NuGet MCP path; #9982 can be closed once this lands, or merge #9982 first and I'll rebase.Validation
The arcade equivalent was validated end-to-end (multi-leg fetch + agent analysis) via
workflow_dispatchagainst a real public build. The testfx logic is identical apart from the three per-repo constants above. Lock files compiled withgh awv0.82.8 (matching the repo) — 0 errors / 0 warnings.
