The Nix build previously fetched Go modules from goproxy.cn and Python
build deps from PyPI during the build phase, relying on network leaking
into the sandbox. This is non-reproducible and breaks whenever the
sandbox resolver is unreachable (e.g. pc13v's loopback dnsmasq).
Go:
- Vendor all three modules (frontend/apiserver, frontend/xcecli,
autoscaler/providers/baidu/src/bcctool) and commit vendor/ trees.
- tools/go_build now builds with GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor and GOPROXY=off
instead of GOPROXY=https://goproxy.cn.
Python (xceadmin):
- Add setuptools + wheel to xce.nix nativeBuildInputs.
- meson-build.sh installs with pip --no-build-isolation --no-index
--no-deps so no PyPI access happens at build time.
xceadmin install script:
- Invoke meson-install.sh via find_program('bash') instead of relying
on its #!/usr/bin/env bash shebang, which fails in the Nix install
sandbox (no /usr/bin/env -> 'could not be run').
Cleanup:
- Drop now-unneeded cacert and impureEnvVars=[HOME] from xce.nix and
xcecli.nix (they only existed to enable the impure network fetch).
Docs:
- README build guide: drop '--option sandbox false' from nix build /
nix bundle commands, note the build is now hermetic, and document the
go mod vendor + git add vendor/ maintenance workflow.
Verified: nix build .#xcecore, .#xcecore_debug, .#xcecli, and .#xce all
succeed with the sandbox enabled.
Threads dirty_fingerprint through as an 8th positional arg from
xceadmin/meson.build's custom_target into meson-build.sh, which adds
DIRTY_FINGERPRINT to the generated _build_info.py with an independent
empty-string fallback (not "unknown", matching this feature's convention
everywhere else). GIT_COMMIT/BUILD_TIME's existing generation and
"unknown" fallback are completely untouched.
Verified independently by review across three full real build+test+wheel
cycles: dirty tree produces a real, non-empty fingerprint present
identically in the mirrored tree, build/lib copy, an installed venv, and
the packaged wheel, cross-checked byte-for-byte against that same build's
compile_commands.json; explicit-empty fingerprint with real commit/time
resolves DIRTY_FINGERPRINT to genuinely empty; all-empty scenario confirms
the two fallback conventions ("unknown" vs empty) coexist without
interference. 261 passed/3 skipped throughout.

xceadmin/meson.build passes the resolved commit_id/build_time meson
options as two new positional args (matching this custom_target's
existing all-positional style) to meson-build.sh, which writes a small
_build_info.py (GIT_COMMIT/BUILD_TIME, independent per-field "unknown"
fallback) into the mirrored source tree's xceadmin package directory,
before the pip install step -- same before-install ordering as the
existing schema-sync step. A file-existence guard checks the exact path
just written and fails loudly rather than silently proceeding with a
missing/wrong module.
Live-verified via a full real build+test+wheel cycle (run independently
twice, once by implementation and once by review): the mirrored tree's
_build_info.py and the packaged wheel both contain real, matching,
non-"unknown" values (commit id matching git rev-parse --short HEAD plus
dirty suffix, real UTC timestamp); full pytest suite passes (258 passed,
3 skipped -- documented live-HA e2e tests, skip-by-design).
Task 5.1/13 of build-time-versioning.

Both meson-build.sh (venv creation) and meson-install.sh (wrapper
shebang) resolved python3 independently at run time (bare `python3 -m
venv` / `command -v python3`) -- correct as long as invoked inside
nix develop/build, but nothing prevented a stray non-nix system
python3 earlier on PATH from shadowing it.
meson.build now resolves python3 once via import('python').
find_installation('python3') -- same mechanism as find_program('go')/
capnp/packcc elsewhere in this build, printed at `meson setup` time
as "Program python3 found: YES (/nix/store/...)" -- and threads that
exact resolved path into both scripts as an explicit argument instead
of a fresh lookup.
Verified: meson setup prints the pinned python3, xceadmin target
rebuilds clean (165/165 passed), and the built venv's own python3
resolves through to that exact nix store path.
xceadmin's custom_target only built+tested (stamp-file output, no
install:true) — nix build .#xcecore succeeded but shipped nothing in
result/bin, unlike every other component.
Add meson.add_install_script('meson-install.sh'): copies the
xceadmin/xcecommon package dirs (not the whole build-dir venv, whose
pip-generated shebang hardcodes a build path that stops existing after
the build) into $out/lib/xceadmin-site, then writes a wrapper at
$out/bin/xceadmin whose shebang and PYTHONPATH are resolved against
the install script's own nix build environment — real /nix/store
paths for python3 and each dependency (pycapnp, pyyaml, jsonschema,
click), so nix's reference scanner keeps them alive in the closure.
No venv activation needed at runtime.
Verified: meson install --destdir and nix build --option sandbox
false .#xcecore both produce a working result/bin/xceadmin, runnable
standalone with a stripped-down PATH-only environment.
Reopens the 2026-07-21 design decision to keep xceadmin outside meson.
Standard onboarding consistency (README 3.3 `nix build .#xcecore` and
3.4 `meson compile` working for xceadmin like every other component)
outweighs the earlier concern about meson's single-artifact model not
fitting a multi-file pip install.
- src/xceadmin/meson.build: custom_target() wrapping install+test,
stamp-file output, build_always_stale (matches this repo's existing
clean-rebuild-every-invocation convention).
- src/xceadmin/meson-build.sh: out-of-tree pinned install + pytest;
stages a repo-mirror/ symlink tree so tests' fixed-relative-path
assumptions (src/configs/, src/schema/, ha/data/) still resolve from
a copied location, without touching their deliberate fail-loud
behavior.
- src/meson.build: subdir('xceadmin') under component != 'xcecli'.
- src/tools/xce-build.sh: xceadmin case now delegates to
`meson compile -C "$BUILD_DIR" xceadmin` instead of its own
pip/venv implementation, like every other component.
Verified both build paths: meson compile (165/165 passed) and
nix build --option sandbox false .#xcecore_debug (128 passed / 37
skipped — cert-dependent tests correctly skip under nix's
git-tracked-only hermetic source). AppImage bundling (README 3.5)
is explicitly deferred to future work, not part of this change.
