…sumer A repo that generates its own foundry.toml network sections and .env.example endpoint variables cannot write the first of them: foundry refuses every filesystem-cheatcode write to the project root's own foundry.toml, whatever fs_permissions says. The generator therefore stages to .staged-config/ and a hook installs each staged file over the file of that name at the root. That hook is repo-agnostic — no path, no filename, no forge, no nix, no --ffi — so carrying it per consumer is 38 copies of one script, each able to drift. rainix-static grows install-staged-config, a composite action runs it, and rainix-copy-artifacts calls the action between the codegen and the git diff that fails a stale tree. rainix-tag-release calls the same action after its release-time regeneration, so the publish guard's clean-tree check covers the generated config rather than a tree the staging never touched. An absent .staged-config/ is a skip: this runs in every sol consumer and the directory's presence is the only signal there. Every other shape is refused — a file or symlink at the path, an empty directory, a staged entry that is not a flat file, a staged name matching no root file — because a staged file left uninstalled leaves the committed config stale while the build reports success.

What moves
The
.staged-configinstall — the hook rain.deploy#237 currently has everyconsumer copy as
script/build.sh— becomesrainix-static install-staged-configbehind.github/actions/install-staged-config.rainix-copy-artifactsruns the action between the codegen and thegit diffthat fails a stale tree.
rainix-tag-releaseruns the same action after itsrelease-time regeneration, because the regeneration only STAGES: uninstalled,
the staged file changes no tracked file, the tree is trivially clean, and the
publish guard passes on a config nothing regenerated.
The generic
Regenerate derived artifactsstep (script/build.sh, when a repohas one) stays exactly as it is. It is the catch-all post-forge hook for
whatever else a repo derives, and it is not what this replaces — what this
replaces is the one specific thing every BuildScript consumer would put in it.
The logic is Rust rather than the reference's bash, per CLAUDE.md: it branches
over the shape of what was staged and refuses four distinct states, and as a
subcommand every one of them is unit-tested by a suite that runs on every push.
Bash decides one thing — whether there is anything at
.staged-configat all —so that the repos which stage nothing do not pay a nix build to be told so. The
Rust half treats an absent directory the same way, so running the binary
directly gives the verdict the step does.
Two deliberate divergences from #237's script
An absent
.staged-config/is a skip, not a failure. The script fails,correctly: a repo that carries the script stages by definition, so nothing
staged means the staging did not happen. An action that runs in every sol
consumer cannot read absence that way — the directory's presence is the only
signal it has, and every repo that generates no config has none. The guard is
kept for every other shape, including a non-directory at the path, which is
what the script's
! -dtest actually caught.Three refusals the script does not make. Each is a generated file that is
not installed, which is the failure the install exists to prevent:
find -type fsilently skips a directory or a symlink there;
root file, and
git diff --exit-codecannot see an untracked one, so thereal file stays stale and the job is green. A staged file is spliced FROM the
root file of that name, so a name matching nothing is a rename or a typo;
a refusal leaves the root half generated and half committed.
What a consumer carries after this
A repo that inherits
BuildScriptand generates its network config carriesexactly:
script/Build.sol— its codegen entry point. Not a new file: rainixalready requires that exact name of any repo with
src/generated/, andfails the job for a repo that renames or drops it.
foundry.tomland.env.example— wherethe generated blocks go. Everything outside them stays the consumer's.
fs_permissionsentries —readon./foundry.toml,readon./.env.example,read-writeon./.staged-config.That is the whole list. Gone from #237's version of it:
script/build.sh— rainix runs the install.readon./script/build.sh— there is no script to read..staged-configin.gitignore— no rainix gate needs it. The actionremoves the directory inside the same job, ahead of
git diff --exit-codeincopy-artifacts and ahead of the publish guard's
git status --untracked-files=allin tag-release. rainix has the same shape already for.pre-commit-config.yaml, which the release job hides via.git/info/excluderather than asking 38 repos to ignore it. Worth keeping only if the repo's own
test suite writes into the real
.staged-config/, since a localforge testthen leaves it behind.
What cannot move, and why
config, and only that repo knows where its generated blocks belong. rainix
could take them only by owning the whole file, which is the opposite of what
splicing between markers is for.
fs_permissionsgrants. forge reads them from the project root'sfoundry.toml— the one file the generator cannot write. Even were there anenv-var spelling, a rainix-side grant would apply to every repo's every forge
invocation rather than to one repo's one step, which is a wider grant than
the consumer making it deliberately.
script/Build.sol. The consumer's codegen; rainix already requires thename.
Blast radius, and why this lands first
Every internal
uses:is@main, so what lands here reaches all 38 consumerson their next push with no bump (#368). Measured before landing, the way #388
asks for:
"staged-config"has zero hits across the org's default branches(
gh api search/code; control queryrainix-copy-artifactsreturns 22), andthe
BuildScriptthat stages is unmerged and unreleased. So on merge the actionis a no-op in every consumer — one step that prints
nothing staged; skipanddoes not even build the binary.
That is the #388 ordering with the sweep already empty: the rainix side lands at
a measured blast radius of zero, and each consumer opts in later by its own PR.
It is also why #390 asks for the action before anything depends on it.
Notes for #237's rework (nothing here touches rain.deploy)
BuildHookMissingand thereadgrant on./script/build.shhave nothing left to guard..staged-config/rather than a temp dirleaves staged names behind. In tag-release the regeneration overwrites the
names it generates, and any extra name makes the install refuse with
names no file at the repo root— fail-closed and loud, but it means test fixtures wanta temp dir.
QA
(
rainix-static/src/staged_config.rs), 5 bats over the composite's bash half(
test/bats/action/install-staged-config.test.bats), 5 bats over the twoworkflows' wiring (
test/bats/workflow/staged-config-install.test.bats).Each Rust test asserts the state of the tree after the call — root file
contents, whether the staging directory is still there — rather than only the
value returned, so a function that reports an install it did not perform
fails. None of these can be run against base to fail there: the subcommand,
the action and both workflow steps are added by this PR. Discrimination is
shown by mutation instead.
