ci: retry desktop runtime staging on a transient registry failure - #179
Merged
Conversation
`pnpm deploy --legacy` re-resolves from the registry and ignores the lockfile, so a dependency published in a partially-propagated state fails the desktop packaging gate even though every pin in the lockfile is installable. That is what turned the release pull request red: `@tanstack/react-query@5.102.3` resolved while its `query-core` peer of the same version did not yet, in a workspace package the shipped runtime never loads. The deploy now runs up to three times with a widening back-off. A deterministic failure still fails, and still surfaces its own error rather than a wrapper — it just costs the waits first. That is the trade: about half a minute added to a genuinely broken build, against a release gate that no longer goes red because npm was mid-publish. This treats the symptom. The resolution should not reach unrelated workspace packages in the first place; that needs the deploy scoped, which cannot be verified without a cold CI runner.

The retry behavior is configurable and tested for recovery, error propagation, callbacks, and delay ordering. ChangesDesktop deployment retries
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The staging retry change is localized and mergeable with owner awareness: the current tests do not lock in the documented 5-second and 20-second backoff, so a future edit could retry with incorrect timing and weaken protection against transient registry failures.

The backoff test compared the delay helper against itself and checked only that the second wait was longer than the first, so a 0ms/1ms backoff would have passed while retrying faster than a registry propagates. Assert the five- and twenty-second delays directly.

No issue — this came out of the release pull request going red on a dependency nothing in the shipped runtime uses.
Problem
The
Artifact securityjob blocked the2.0.0release with:@tanstack/react-query@5.102.3had been published before itsquery-corepeer of the same version was resolvable.pnpm-lock.yamlpins5.101.4, which was installable throughout — butpnpm deploy --legacyre-resolves from the registry and ignores the lockfile, and says so:So a mid-publish window at npm, in a dev-only workspace package the desktop runtime never loads, fails a release gate.
What changed
The deploy now runs up to three times with a widening back-off (5s, then 20s).
withDeployRetriestakes its clock by injection, so the policy is tested without a real wait or a real registry. A deterministic failure still fails after the attempts run out, and rethrows its own error rather than a wrapper that would hide which command broke.The trade is explicit: roughly half a minute added to a genuinely broken build, against a release gate that no longer goes red because npm was mid-publish.
What this is not
This treats the symptom. The real question is why a
--filter @pymodel/pythinker-code deployresolves@pymodel/vis-web's dependencies at all — that package is a visual debugging tool, already ignored in.changeset/config.json, and nothing in the packaged runtime imports it. Scoping the deploy would remove the failure class rather than retry it.That was measured before settling for a retry. Adding
--frozen-lockfileand--config.lockfile=trueto the legacy deploy is inert: the resulting closure is byte-identical (adiffof the full file lists is empty), and mutating a dependency to a non-existent version still exits 0. Dropping--legacyfails withERR_PNPM_DEPLOY_NONINJECTED_WORKSPACE, which is why the flag is there. The cold-runner resolution cannot be reproduced on a warm local store, so the scoped fix needs to be developed against CI rather than guessed at here.[skip changeset] — build tooling only; nothing here reaches the published package.
