runner-manager-platform 0.4.57

// owner: d1-platform-core

//! The unprivileged accounts a Linux boot service runs its runners as.
//!
//! A boot service's daemon runs as `root`, because only `root` can read the
//! machine-scoped credential. Its runners do not have to, and must not: a job
//! running as `root` with no capabilities cannot change a file's owner, so
//! `tar`, npm and `node-gyp` fail on any archive whose entries another account
//! owns, and with capabilities a hostile workflow would hold them too.
//!
//! So the daemon keeps the capabilities it needs to hand a runner its
//! directories and to signal it, and starts each runner as an account of its
//! own from a [`RunnerPool`]. One account per concurrent runner is what keeps
//! jobs apart from each other: a job cannot read another job's workspace, its
//! runner's credentials or its processes' environment, nor signal them. The
//! accounts share one group, [`RUNNER_GROUP`], which is how they share the
//! dependency caches the operator chose to share.
//! Moving from `root` to another uid clears every capability the kernel would
//! otherwise pass on, and `NoNewPrivileges=yes` stops a set-user-ID or
//! file-capability binary from granting one back, so the job runs with none.
//!
//! The account has no password, no login shell and no home directory. Each
//! runner gets a `HOME` inside its own attempt (see
//! [`crate::runner_env::platform_defaults`]).
