ci(kotlin-sdk): run tests on dedicated self-hosted runner

[vivekgsharma]

Summary

• mirror ci(kotlin-sdk): run tests on dedicated self-hosted runner #4466 onto an internal dashpay/platform branch so the guarded self-hosted job can run
• target the dedicated [self-hosted, kotlin-ci] runner
• copy the persistent-runner fork guard from Rust CI
• preserve local Cargo and Gradle outputs and make host setup idempotent
• verify JDK 17 and read/write KVM access before starting the emulator
• resolve Rustup through the persistent $HOME/.cargo/bin installation
• install the headless Android emulator runtime libraries idempotently

Validation

• KVM API version 12 verified as vivek, including after host reboot
• runner service has effective kvm group membership
• JDK 17 and cargo-ndk 4.1.2 installed persistently
• Android API 35 x86_64 emulator booted with KVM and completed the instrumented FFI test
• YAML parse and workflow assertions passed
• git diff --check passed

Benchmark

• First cold-cache attempt reached the emulator in 5m36s; it exposed missing libx11-xcb1 and libpulse0 on the minimal Ubuntu image
• After adding those packages, the representative warm-cache run passed end to end in 2m24s
• Warm breakdown: native Rust 59s, SDK and example Gradle tests 18s combined, emulator and instrumented test 54s
• Successful run: https://github.com/dashpay/platform/actions/runs/32726699767/job/97429497735

Supersedes the fork-only execution path in #4466.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Kotlin SDK build workflow now runs on a protected self-hosted runner. It conditionally installs required tools, validates JDK 17 and KVM access, and uses read-only repository permissions.

Changes

Kotlin SDK CI workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Self-hosted runner bootstrap .github/workflows/kotlin-sdk-build.yml	The job targets the kotlin-ci runner, restricts repository permissions, guards fork pull requests, preserves checkout outputs, installs missing dependencies and Rustup, and validates JDK 17.
Build tool and KVM validation .github/workflows/kotlin-sdk-build.yml	The workflow conditionally installs cargo-ndk and protoc 32.0. It checks that /dev/kvm exists and has read and write access.

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

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to e10b5

The workflow adds a dedicated persistent runner path, but it does not currently enforce the declared cargo-ndk 4.1.2 and protoc 32.0 versions, allowing tool drift to change CI results; merge should wait for explicit version checks or owner acceptance, along with registering the runner label for validation.

Register kotlin-ci with actionlint.

Add kotlin-ci to .github/actionlint.yaml under self-hosted-runner.labels so actionlint can validate this workflow.

Benchmark handoff:

• The successful warm job executed in 2m24s on ubuntu-runner-1.
• It waited 6m40s for a Rust workspace job already using the single Ubuntu runner; that queue delay is separate from execution time and confirms the expected serialization tradeoff.
• The first cold-cache attempt reached the emulator in 5m36s. It then exposed missing libx11-xcb1 and libpulse0 on the minimal host. Both are now installed persistently and declared in the workflow dependency guard.
• After that fix, the API 35 x86_64 emulator booted with KVM and the instrumented FFI test passed.

Successful job: https://github.com/dashpay/platform/actions/runs/32726699767/job/97429497735

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)

The self-hosted runner migration is functionally coherent and retains the established fork-origin guard, but it introduces one workflow-lint configuration gap and expands the persistent runner's exposure to mutable third-party actions. These are in-scope suggestions rather than blocking defects.
Source: reviewers gpt-5.6-sol (general and security-auditor); final verifier gpt-5.6-sol. openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol was orchestration-only and not reviewer evidence.

Validated zero-blocker Codex/Sol precheck evidence was promoted to final because Phase 2 (Sonnet/Opus) is temporarily disabled. This is Codex/Sol-only final validation, not Codex + Sonnet/Opus coverage.

Review provenance

• Codex reviewers: gpt-5.6-sol — general (completed), gpt-5.6-sol — security-auditor (completed)
• Verifier: gpt-5.6-sol — verifier
• Sonnet/Opus: not run (Phase 2 disabled — temporary Codex/Sol-only final)
• Secondary pass: disabled (temporary_phase2_sonnet_disable)

- [SUGGESTION] .github/workflows/kotlin-sdk-build.yml:37: Register the new runner label with actionlint
This workflow introduces the custom `kotlin-ci` label, but `.github/actionlint.yaml` still registers only `rust-ci`. As a result, actionlint reports `kotlin-ci` as an unknown runner label instead of validating the workflow cleanly. Add `kotlin-ci` under `self-hosted-runner.labels`, alongside `rust-ci`.
- [SUGGESTION] .github/workflows/kotlin-sdk-build.yml:37: Pin actions before executing them on the persistent privileged runner
Moving this job to a long-lived self-hosted host increases the impact of the workflow's mutable action references: `actions/checkout@v4`, `android-actions/setup-android@v3`, `dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable`, `gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v4`, `reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner@v2`, and `actions/upload-artifact@v4`. These actions run with access to a host where the workflow uses passwordless `sudo`, and `clean: false` deliberately retains local state. If any referenced tag or branch is moved after an upstream compromise, hostile action code could persist on the runner or poison later CI results. The fork guard only restricts submitted PR code and does not mitigate compromised action references; pin each action to a reviewed full commit SHA and update the pins through the dependency-update process.
