Issue being fixed or feature implemented

The Kotlin SDK CI job currently runs on an ephemeral ubuntu-latest runner, so every run repeats toolchain setup, restores a large Cargo cache, and rebuilds without a persistent local target/. The dedicated ubuntu-runner-1 host is now provisioned with KVM and the kotlin-ci runner label.

What was done?

  • Route the job to [self-hosted, kotlin-ci].
  • Copy the persistent-runner fork guard from tests-rs-workspace.yml so untrusted fork code is never dispatched to the host.
  • Use actions/checkout with clean: false and remove the hosted cache restore so Cargo, Gradle, and workspace build outputs remain warm locally.
  • Replace destructive hosted-runner disk cleanup and the permissive KVM udev rule with explicit JDK 17 and /dev/kvm access checks.
  • Make Linux build dependencies, Rust, cargo-ndk, Android SDK/NDK, and protoc provisioning idempotent for a persistent runner.
  • Restrict the workflow token to read-only repository contents.

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Parsed the workflow as YAML and asserted the runner labels, fork guard, persistent checkout setting, and required provisioning/KVM steps.
  • git diff --check
  • python3 scripts/check_sdk_parity_manifest.py
  • python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts/tests -p 'test_*.py' (11 tests passed)
  • Independent review confirmed that the fork guard matches tests-rs-workspace.yml and that Linux build_android.sh keeps its Cargo target under the persistent repository workspace.

The first cold/warm runtime benchmark is intentionally left to CI on ubuntu-runner-1. Because this PR originates from a fork, the new security guard will skip its Kotlin job; a collaborator must mirror commit 2aba69dee to a same-repository branch to run that benchmark without weakening the guard.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Kotlin SDK workflow now runs on a labeled self-hosted runner. It restricts fork pull requests, validates JDK 17, installs missing tools conditionally, and verifies existing KVM access for emulator tests.

Changes

Kotlin SDK CI workflow

Layer / File(s)Summary
Self-hosted runner environment
.github/workflows/kotlin-sdk-build.yml
The job uses the kotlin-ci runner, applies read-only contents permissions, restricts unauthorized fork pull requests, preserves checkout outputs, installs missing dependencies and Rust, and validates JDK 17 directly.
Build and emulator prerequisites
.github/workflows/kotlin-sdk-build.yml
The workflow removes Cargo cache restoration, installs cargo-ndk and protoc only when required, and verifies readable and writable /dev/kvm access without modifying udev rules.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🟠 High · up to 2aba6

This change moves Kotlin CI onto a persistent self-hosted runner, but the current fork exception can allow untrusted pull-request code to run there, creating a serious security risk. The new runner label also needs to be added to the workflow validation configuration before merge.

Preliminary review — Codex only

The workflow moves Kotlin SDK tests to the dedicated runner, but its fork gate is controlled by the same pull-request revision it is intended to distrust, allowing a fork to remove the gate before the persistent sudo-capable host is selected. The workflow also retains mutable action references and introduces an unregistered custom runner label that actionlint rejects, so changes are required before deployment.
Source: reviewers gpt-5.6-sol (general and security-auditor); final verifier gpt-5.6-sol; orchestration-only openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol (not reviewer evidence).

Validated blockers were found in the Codex precheck. Opus is deferred until a fresh Codex revalidation clears the blocker gate.

Review provenance

  • Codex reviewers: gpt-5.6-sol — general (completed), gpt-5.6-sol — security-auditor (completed)
  • Verifier: gpt-5.6-sol — verifier
  • Sonnet: not run (deferred by blocker gate)

- [BLOCKING] .github/workflows/kotlin-sdk-build.yml:40-43: Fork PRs can remove the guard and execute on the self-hosted runner
This condition cannot enforce the stated trust boundary because a `pull_request` run evaluates a workflow definition containing the pull request's changes. The workflow file is itself included in the path filter, so a fork can remove or alter this condition and make the job eligible for `[self-hosted, kotlin-ci]`. Such a run may proceed after workflow approval, or automatically under repository policies that no longer require approval for that contributor. The checked-out code then executes on a persistent host whose runner account has `sudo` access at lines 63 and 112, enabling root persistence, tampering with retained build outputs, and compromise of later jobs. Enforce runner eligibility outside the pull-request-controlled definition, such as through a base-controlled `pull_request_target` dispatcher that rejects forks before checking out an approved head SHA, or through an external runner-group policy restricted to a trusted workflow reference.
- [SUGGESTION] .github/workflows/kotlin-sdk-build.yml:37: Register the kotlin-ci runner label with actionlint
The repository's `.github/actionlint.yaml` declares custom self-hosted labels so actionlint can resolve them, but its list contains only `rust-ci`. The new `runs-on: [self-hosted, kotlin-ci]` declaration therefore produces an unknown-label diagnostic. Add `kotlin-ci` to `self-hosted-runner.labels` while preserving `rust-ci`.
- [SUGGESTION] .github/workflows/kotlin-sdk-build.yml:37: Persistent runner executes actions referenced by mutable tags
Moving this job from an ephemeral hosted VM to a persistent self-hosted machine increases the impact of mutable action references used by the job, including `actions/checkout@v4`, `android-actions/setup-android@v3`, `dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable`, `gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v4`, and `reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner@v2`. An upstream compromise or retag can execute arbitrary code on a host that permits `sudo` and retains state between jobs, allowing persistence and compromise of subsequent trusted builds. Pin each action used by this workflow to a reviewed full commit SHA before running it on the persistent host.

Superseded by same-repository PR #4468, which allows the guarded self-hosted Kotlin job to execute. #4468 is green on ubuntu-runner-1 with a 2m24s warm end-to-end benchmark.
