Changes

Reproduces the Mirror#4128 abort-message incident inside our own CI, so the message #293 fixed is regression-protected.

The incident: a container aborts Unity, docker leads its own stderr with the benign Unable to find image '...' locally pre-pull notice, and the CLI's final error appended that stderr under an Original error: heading. The message then read as an editor failing to load a Unity version, while Unity's real reason - a genuine script compile error - sat two lines above it.

src/model/docker.test.ts already asserts the corrected message, but it hard-codes both streams onto its fake error, so it stays green if Docker.run reads the wrong stream or System.run folds them together. That plumbing is exactly what broke, and nothing in CI ran a real docker run through it.

  • New unity-abort-message job: an aborting-editor stub (no Unity, no licence, no multi-GB pull), driven through both CLI routes because they reach stdout differently - build.sh passes -logfile /dev/stdout, whereas test.sh writes the log to a file and cats it after capturing the exit code.
  • Wired into smoke-gate.needs, so a failure there actually fails the gate rather than staying green.
  • scripts/test-assert-unity-abort-message.sh drives the grader in both directions against hand-written logs - including the pre-fix: stop quoting docker's pull noise as the cause of a Unity abort #293 message it exists to reject - because its two "must not contain" assertions can only ever pass vacuously on a run that died early.
  • A stream-split case in system.integration.test.ts, against a real child process rather than the mocked System.run.
  • A comment pinning the silent coupling Docker.run's catch block rests on ("System.run has already streamed it live above"), which holds only while options.silent stays falsy. No behaviour change.

Checklist

  • Read the contribution guide and accept the code of conduct
  • Readme (updated or not needed)
  • Tests (added, updated or not needed)

Verified locally

  • Both new scripts pass bash -n; the grader's suite is 10 passed / 0 failed.
  • The stub was extracted from the workflow and executed as the container would, on both routes, then fed through the real grader: both graded green, and a synthetic pre-fix: stop quoting docker's pull noise as the cause of a Unity abort #293 message was correctly rejected with both diagnostics.
  • Each new workflow step's run: was extracted via pyyaml and bash -n'd, and the stub's inner heredoc payload was extracted and bash -n'd separately - the block-scalar indentation is the top silent-failure risk here, and tests.yml's bash -n sweep does not cover inline workflow scripts.
  • bun test ./src: 344 pass / 2 fail, both failures pre-existing on this Windows box and confirmed so by stashing (a System.run PowerShell case and a config-profile test timing out at 5s).
  • node scripts/generate-embedded-assets.mjs --check is up to date.

What this PR cannot confirm locally

  • That docker really forwards container stdout to docker stdout and container stderr to docker stderr with no TTY (getLinuxCommand passes no -t). The static evidence is strong, but it is docker's contract, not ours, and it is the single thing the job exists to observe.
  • The game-ci test --docker step end to end - it has no local analogue, as Docker is not available on the machine this was written on. The build route was validated locally; the test route needs the CI run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Unity failure reporting so compiler-error messages are shown clearly instead of being obscured by Docker pull notices.
    • Removed redundant or misleading “Original error” details when no additional error information is available.
    • Preserved separate standard output and error output for more accurate failure diagnosis.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for Unity abort messages, Docker output handling, and cross-platform command execution.
    • Added automated checks to ensure error logs contain the correct failure reason and reject misleading output.

When Unity aborts batchmode, Docker.run passes the reason from stdout and
then appended `docker run`'s own stderr under an "Original error:" heading.
That stderr opens with the benign pre-pull "Unable to find image ...
locally" status line, so the message read as an editor failing to load a
version and buried the actual cause two lines above it:

  Unity aborted before completing: Scripts have compiler errors.
  ...
  Original error:
  Unable to find image 'unityci/editor:...' locally

Two Mirror maintainers read it exactly that way on Mirror#4128 - they went
looking for a 6000.3.23f1 problem while "Scripts have compiler errors." sat
in the same message.

System.run already streams that stderr live, so repeating it loses nothing.
describe() now takes originalMessage as optional and omits the section when
the caller has nothing to add. HostRunner keeps passing it: on its --silent
path the streamed copy does not exist, so the quoted text is the only one.

Two defects in the release-download smoke tests, both hit live on PR #293:

The macOS job 403'd on api.github.com while the ubuntu job passed beside it,
running the same install.sh against the same endpoint in the same minute.
install.sh resolves "latest" through the API and authenticates only when
handed a token - unauthenticated is 60 requests/hour per IP, and Actions
runners share IPs across unrelated repos and orgs. The script was written to
be given one, and says so in its own comment; the workflow never passed it.
Both smoke steps, and the root-wrapper steps that default to "latest" and
hit the same call, now pass GH_TOKEN - the pattern already used throughout
orchestrator-integrity.yml. install.sh treats an empty token as no token, so
a fork PR (no secrets, read-only github.token) degrades to today's behaviour
rather than failing.

The retry loop reported every failure the same way - "likely the latest
release's binaries are still uploading". A 403 rate limit is not that, and
re-running the identical unauthenticated request 30 seconds later cannot
clear it, so it spent all five attempts and 2.5 minutes asserting a cause it
had no way to know. That is the same misdiagnosis this branch's Unity abort
message fix exists to remove: point at the error that actually occurred
instead of substituting a guess for it.

Verified end-to-end: GH_TOKEN=... bash scripts/install.sh latest <dir>
resolves v0.1.69, downloads, and checksum-verifies. actionlint clean.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change fixes Unity abort message composition, adds stdout/stderr regression coverage, introduces a log grader, and runs both CLI routes against an aborting Unity stub in CI. Install smoke tests now authenticate GitHub API release resolution.

Changes

Unity abort handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failure message contract
src/model/unity/unity-batchmode-failure.ts, src/model/docker.ts, src/model/system/system.integration.test.ts, src/model/unity/unity-batchmode-failure.test.ts, src/model/docker.test.ts
UnityBatchmodeFailure.describe now accepts an optional original message. Docker.run passes stdout without repeating Docker stderr. Tests verify stream separation and the Unity reason.
Abort log grading
scripts/assert-unity-abort-message.sh, scripts/test-assert-unity-abort-message.sh
The grader validates Docker stub output, Unity's abort reason, the final error block, and the absence of Docker noise and Original error:. Shell tests cover valid and invalid logs.
CI abort reproduction
.github/workflows/engine-smoke-test.yml, .github/workflows/tests.yml
CI builds an aborting Unity stub, runs build and test --docker, grades both logs, and includes the new job in smoke-gate.

CI install authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Install smoke-test authentication
.github/workflows/tests.yml
Ubuntu and macOS install smoke tests set GH_TOKEN for latest-release resolution. Retry messages now direct failures to the preceding error instead of assuming release binaries are uploading.

Do not pass the private token to pull-request smoke tests.

A same-repository pull request can receive GIT_PRIVATE_TOKEN. The checked-out installer reads GH_TOKEN, so modified pull-request code can access the repository secret. Fork pull requests do not receive repository secrets, but that does not protect same-repository pull requests. Use github.token for pull requests and declare contents: read for these jobs.

Not changed here. This asks for a permission change (contents: read on both install smoke-test jobs) plus new token-resolution semantics on four pre-existing GH_TOKEN lines - none of them in this PR's diff, and the current shape is deliberate: the comment above line 212 documents why the fallback degrades on fork PRs, and changing which token authenticates alters the rate-limit behaviour that comment exists to fix. Changing a workflow's token/permission posture is a maintainer decision, so I have surfaced it rather than folded it into a reproduction PR.

@frostebite, the finding remains applicable to this PR.

The diff adds this GH_TOKEN assignment at Line 213. It introduces the GIT_PRIVATE_TOKEN fallback into a pull_request workflow step. A same-repository pull request can modify the checked-out installer and read that token.

The rate-limit rationale is valid. It does not require exposing GIT_PRIVATE_TOKEN to pull-request code. This token-selection and permission decision can be deferred, but it should be tracked as a follow-up security change. Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for it?

Correction first: you are right and my previous reply was wrong - all four GH_TOKEN lines are added by this PR (5fdab58, which is riding in this branch), so they are in the diff. I had checked the wrong comparison.

I am still not making the change here, and the reason is authority rather than disagreement: adding job-level permissions: blocks and changing which credential authenticates is a permissions/config change, and I will not make one unilaterally on a review bot's request. It is escalated to the maintainer.

Two things I verified for their decision: the secrets.GIT_PRIVATE_TOKEN || github.token fallback is this repo's existing convention (roughly 50 uses across orchestrator-integrity.yml and orchestrator-integration.yml, the latter already invoked by tests.yml with secrets: inherit on pull_request), so that secret already reaches PR-triggered jobs independently of these four lines; and tests.yml declares no permissions: block at all, so the suggestion is a wider workflow change than it appears. Whether to drop the PAT fallback, and whether a tracking issue is worth opening, are theirs to decide.

@frostebite, thank you for the correction and for escalating the permissions decision.

The finding remains open. This PR adds the four GH_TOKEN assignments, and a same-repository pull request can modify the checked-out installer before it reads GH_TOKEN.

The existing secrets: inherit use is relevant to the wider workflow security posture. It does not remove the new exposure from these install smoke-test steps. A maintainer can decide whether to change this PR or track the repository-wide credential policy separately.

Declare UNITY_VERSION through each step's env rather than interpolating the
workflow_dispatch input into the script body, where ${{ }} expands into shell
source before bash sees it. Clean the grader's temp file from an EXIT trap so
an interrupt cannot leave it behind.
