* Make release dry-run diagnostics fail closed
Select the installed Chromium project with retries disabled, replace the unconditional pass with fail-closed API and rendered-UI readiness assertions, retain actionable runtime evidence, and guard the release workflow contract against regression.
Contract-Neutral: Release diagnostic and workflow verification hardening only; no product runtime contract changes.
* Expose stable E2E failure identities
Project Playwright JUnit failures into bounded GitHub annotations so repeated stable-tier failures can be diagnosed without rerunning or weakening the gate. Keep the full reports and runtime logs as the forensic record, and cover annotation parsing and escaping with deterministic tests.
Contract-Neutral: This changes CI failure observability only and does not alter product runtime behavior, stable-tier membership, retries, or verdict semantics.

Reapply the still-applicable exact-candidate tool setup hardening and its workflow contract assertions on current main. Current main already contains the native-path Docker and host fixtures plus the prescribed resource guardrail source path.
Contract-Neutral: Release-workflow hardening and test-fixture portability do not change the product runtime contract.

The three-shard backend gate landed with a 16 GiB admission requirement
that exceeded the 8-vCPU PVE worker's own idle availability (measured
16.1-16.7 GiB, and 14.1-14.9 GiB beside the sibling release compilers),
so the next release would have hard-failed at admission before running a
single test. Direct probes on the worker measured the complete gate at a
~6-7.5 GiB footprint (8.9 GiB MemAvailable floor from a 16.4 GiB start,
zero swap), so admission now requires 10 GiB for three shards and 8 GiB
for two, and degrades the shard count instead of failing the release
when the bounded wait expires without headroom.
Shard CPU is now weighted by planned test volume from the plan manifest.
Top-level tests execute serially per test-binary process, so width mainly
buys runtime, GC, and race-detector headroom for the 3595-test prefix
shard; the ~15-test wait-bound tails cannot use it. Probes measured the
prefix shard at 569s with 2 procs versus 484s with 4, with total
allocation still equal to the worker's vCPU count.
Validated by three direct runs of the canonical script on the worker:
the full gate passed in 8m10s wall (auto-admitted three shards, procs
4/2/2, shard walls 484s/331s/224s) against the 12m09s two-shard release
job measured in run 32514803052. One rig run also proved the gate fails
closed: a stale contract pin failed the non-API graph and the harness
terminated every descendant shard process.
The publish-body condensation removed exact operator-facing statements pinned by the prerelease packet test. Restore those statements within the three-highlight limit, record the packet contract, and strengthen the proof to require the complete publish-safe sentences.
The internal/api race suite now routinely exceeds the old 20-minute package timeout on hosted runners while passing. Set a governed 30-minute package timeout and 40-minute release job ceiling, pin the relationship with contract tests, and refresh the rc.4 packet with the fixes landed since preparation.
The installer staged the download in /tmp and installed the runtime
binary to /usr/local/bin, both on the small RAM-backed QTS/QuTS hero
root, and the boot wrapper copied 34MiB back onto that root at every
boot. Roots without ~50MiB of headroom could not install at all, and
setting TMPDIR only moved the staging half of the requirement.
QNAP's own QPKG packages execute from the data volume, so do the same:
relocate the install dir to the data volume's state dir before the
preflight and download, default TMPDIR there too, skip the boot-time
self-copy when the stored and runtime binaries are one file, and remove
a pre-relocation runtime copy from /usr/local/bin to give that space
back. Split layouts with an operator-supplied state dir keep the copy
semantics. The rendered wrapper is exercised in both layouts by the
installer tests.
