Raito BezariusandMaximilian Bosch 3c614a136b libstore/binary-cache: fix catching JSON exceptions
We were catching ForeignExceptions believing it came from the TRY_AWAIT
handler, but this was misguided.

`j.dump()` is evaluated in synchronous context, outside of the `try {
... } catch (...)` block from `TRY_AWAIT`.

Therefore, we need to use `JSON::Exception` directly.

The previous test case did not catch it because:

(1) https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/865 hid the fact that
`--arg` was wrong.
(2) we did not grep for the warning because… we were not even copying
the strange store path to the binary cache.
(3) checking for the NAR happened after the NAR directory was emptied
for test reasons and this was not even caught neither.

Anyway, the test case was completely busted and has now been tested
without this commit and after this commit and we can confirm that prior
to this commit, the test will fail with an exception trace.

sternenseemann 858de5f47a libcmd: add support for lowdown >= 1.4
lowdown 1.4.0 changed the lowdown_opts to include a new and separate
lowdown_opts_term which allows for configuring values specific to
-Tterm (which we're using). This version should have been called 2.0.0
according to semver, hence 2.0.0 was released later without any actual
breaking changes to sort of migitate the problem.

We need to support lowdown >= 1.3 && < 1.4 since the ship has sailed for
updating lowdown in NixOS 25.05 as well as lowdown >= 1.4 or we'll be
stuck in Nixpkgs forever. Support for < 1.4 can be dropped as soon as
NixOS 25.05 is EOL, assuming this change lands before NixOS 25.11
branch-off.

We detect the changed API based on the lowdown version from pkg-config
and define LOWDOWN_SEPARATE_TERM_OPTS based on that. The ifdef is named
according to the specific API change that impacts us, so that it's
hopefully a little simpler to maintain going forward. In the new API,
all newly configurable settings use what would have been the (implicit)
default before. Changing some of these values, especially hpadding,
could be interesting in future changes.

Compared to cl/3081, this change makes sure to initialize all new fields
of lowdown_opts_term explicitly.

It seems that, while making -Tterm more configurable, lowdown's word
wrapping behavior changed slightly which broke basic_repl.test. I've
chosen to work around this by using builtins.add as an example which has
a very short documentation string, so wrapping doesn't matter.

Raito Bezarius f8ccd9d572 libutil/async-io: augment read type safety w.r.t to EOFs
Usually, EOFs are represented by returning 0 in the `read` APIs, at
least, this is what read(2) dictate.

As clever creature, we may sum zeroes sometimes (advanced form:
`buf->added(got)`) and forego handling the EOF condition.

To avoid the bug that lurked in remote-store.cc and caused busy looping
if the remote end disconnects suddenly, we return
`Result<Option<size_t>>` forcing the caller to perform a specific
processing for the EOF situation.

The conversion did not raise any other offending code path.

eldritch horrors 72cad8918b libstore: fix remote build failures killing everything
remote builds failures used to be signaled via exit status 1 of the
build hook, which in turn only happened because the build errors we
got from remote stores was thrown and bubbled up to main which then
logged the error and exited with code 1. with rpc we cannot do this
any more. barring a rewrite of the worker infra to allow for errors
being reported with something other than process exit codes this is
the best can do. ideally we would wrap remote builds in a new goal.
(and then remove all exit code shenanigans from DerivationGoal too)

Maximilian BoschandRobert Hensing 325e7e1824 libstore: show forbidden chain(s) to forbidden path from disallowedRequisites
Closes #334
Closes #626

This is loosely based on upstream PR#10877[1], but heavily changed to
use the graph logic from `nix why-depends`.

`precise` is `false` here since the out-path of the drv being built
isn't registered yet, so the path accessor cannot scan through files
yet.

Example output (from an openssh build with `pcsclite.lib` & `glibc` in
`disallowedRequisites`):

    error: output '/nix/store/hr8lmmjmd1jk6s3p5ymggyk4am7n2lmb-openssh-10.0p2' is not allowed to refer to the following paths:

Emily e1ccbe9abd daemon: prefer daemon stores for nix-daemon --stdio
Using `AllowDaemon::Disallow` here broke `ssh-ng://` remote builds in
multi‐user setups where the remote builder user does not have write
access to the store, now that the automatic store selection logic
has changed. Switch to the default behaviour for this path to fix that.

This causes `ssh-ng://` builds to use the daemon by default on the
remote end, even as `root`. I think this is desirable, as the previous
change already made `ssh://` behave this way, and the pitfalls of
local stores apply to remote builds too. For instance, there were
persistent `ulimit` issues on the NixOS Hydra macOS builders that were
resolved by forcing use of the daemon, and I believe the Linux builders
also go through the daemon these days due to using non‐`root` SSH
users. I believe that the `root` vs. non‐`root` difference is just
as confusing for remote builds as it is for local ones.

`ssh-ng://root@builder?remote-store=local` can be used to revert back
to the previous default if necessary.

Raito Bezarius fd35e86fc5 libstore: fallback on creating a safe space in the default tempdir
If `settings.buildDir` cannot be written to, because we are in a chroot
store, unprivileged or anything.

We can and should always gracefully fallback to a *secure* location
inside of /tmp, i.e. `/tmp/<a directory under 0700>/<our temporary
directory for build under 0700>/...`.

This does not reintroduce CVE-2025-52991 because we are creating a
directory in-between compared to creating only ONE level of directory.

eldritch horrors e356d54d7a libstore: don't delete already valid outputs after build
eagerly consider outputs as not needing deletion during output
registration rather than only doing so after registration. not
waiting for registration to succeed may keep store paths alive
in the file system if registration fails for some reason; that
seem preferrable to the possibility of having another instance
of this bug. since we only leave *good* outputs around there's
not much to worry about except maybe bit of wasted disk space.

Raito Bezariusandeldritch horrors 9a59106c17 libstore: NIX_REMOTE=auto tries the daemon socket *then* direct access
In the past, it tried direct access if it *could* [1] perform direct
access.

This solves a bunch of errors people had when they tried the cgroup
feature and their scripts did not pass NIX_REMOTE=daemon manually
(nixos-rebuild-ng, home-manager activation from a root systemd unit,
etc.)

To avoid looping infinitely while receiving daemon connections, we
forcibly change the store URI when forking for a subdaemon to do direct
access automatically, this doesn't break forward usecases where you
point a daemon to another socket because we only change NIX_REMOTE="",
NIX_REMOTE=daemon, NIX_REMOTE=auto to a local and direct access.

All these usecases would end up infinitely looping no matter what
settings are set, because we are also responsible for creating the
daemon socket.

[1]: this happened all the time if you were `root`.

Raito BezariusandMaximilian Bosch cd129186ea libstore/s3: fulfill with PutObjectOutcome instead of HeadObjectOutcome
This was probably a typo introduced in
7453e2979f.

Unfortunately, AWS SDK is so well made that this typo became an assert
error in production.

AWS Outcome constructors contains
```
            // Move error from other type of outcome
            template<typename RT, typename ET,
enable_if_t<!std::is_convertible<RT, R>::value &&

std::is_convertible<ET, E>::value, int> = 0>
```

which means that when:

* RT → R is not possible (e.g. PutObjectOutcome → HeadObjectOutcome)
* ET → E is possible (e.g. S3Error → S3Error)

Then, we will instantiate the error-moving outcome constructor which
asserts `!o.success`… Though, the original outcome indeed succeeded.

In addition, if any operation throws an exception before we `rmdir` the
cgroup, we may leave it hanging while we remove the state record.
Therefore, we put the final cleanup in a block.

In practice, reading statistics could lead to failures.

Control groups cleanups are critical though and should always be
performed.

eldritch horrors 1729c8ca3e libstore: asyncify curl return streams
making stores and their users fully async requires all data streams to
be async. the most notable data streams in common usage are curl first
and remote stores second. curl is much more contained today and easier
to asyncify (with the preparatory work we've done in the past commits)

1e34c37477 flake/inputs: 24.11-small -> 25.05-small
We upgrade to 25.05 release, which contains the curl commit
https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/5fbd78eb2dc4afbd8884e8eed27147fc3d4318f6
done in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/396200#issuecomment-2795944006.

This fixes HTTP transfers generating arbitrary errors and possibly
failing unusually.

Users who are already depending on 25.05-small or a recent unstable
already had the fix.

Special mention to the Linux kernel who gave me the opportunity to get
on a 24 hours bisection side quest to fix the local release engineering
test.

Special thanks to everyone who had to endure me ranting.

helle db56d236dd tests/functional2: fixes prerequisite to ruff upgrade to 0.11.10
Most of these are simple fixes and clarifications. One set of fixes will
come in the commit that actually upgrades nixpkgs and hence ruff as it
will otherwise cause errors here.

eldritch horrors 7d681a5049 libutil: add io buffer abstraction
the rpc transition will require sync and async objects to share a single
io buffer (since defining serializers on async is an immense pain in the
tail, slow, and ultimately not necessary). a generic buffer class allows
us to reuse existing serializers more readily (reuse them at all, even).

a527bb251a libstore/build: cgroup delegation to sandbox
We offer full cgroup delegation to our sandbox now, required for running
containers inside the sandbox.

To run systemd-nspawn or containers managers inside the sandbox, there
is a need for one extra ingredient now: control over your own cgroup
subtree inside the sandbox.

If, in addition, you need multiple UIDs, for e.g. rootless usecases, you
need to run with the `uid-range` system feature.

Therefore, when the daemon or Nix runs under the right condition, e.g.
systemd-style delegation of the cgroup subtree while placing the
nix-daemon in a supervisor sub-cgroup, we create a new sub-cgroup for
each build based on the build UID and delegate that sub-cgroup to the
builder's process.

Additionally, `uid-range` always request the `cgroups` feature now, as
`uid-range` builds would probably always benefit from having cgroups
delegated, but the converse is not true.

Inspired from https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11412 with a different
design that does not use function-local statics to derive the root
cgroup.

Raito Bezarius 21dbd7745d libstore/binary-cache-store: skip NAR listings if it's not possible to serialize it
Some source trees might not be representable inside of the NAR listing
format v1 as file paths (on Linux) are not guaranteed to be valid UTF-8.

When something like this happens on a large-scale build farm, a
mysterious "queued" but impossible to process job appears, this is
because we cannot write the NAR listing and serialization always fails.

Why did this work before? nlohmann was introduced _after_ such paths
were ingested, see: 09f00dd4d0.

What happened for such previously mis-serialized NAR listings?

```
curl -v 'https://cache.nixos.org/nz8p9hn00r6z7s57581c1hiv39pa1ia6.ls' |
brotli -d | jq .
```

This fixes the build of `sub-batch`
(https://github.com/kl/sub-batch/tree/master/tests/rename_invalid_utf8)
on ForkOS infrastructure.

Many thanks to Puck for the assistance on holding `rr` right on this one
and finding the history of these changes.
