test(infra): retry recursive temp-dir removal on main (main twin of #11968) (#12246)

* test(infra): retry recursive temp-dir removal on main (main twin of #11968)

`main` has been red since b342c1a361 on the vitest and integration gates:

  ✖ tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts > auto/<family>
  ✖ chat pipeline applies Codex OAuth fingerprint and priority tier inside combos

Both call resetStorage() from beforeEach, which does an fs.rmSync(TEST_DATA_DIR,
{recursive: true, force: true}) with no retry, and intermittently loses the race
with a not-yet-released SQLite handle (ENOTEMPTY).

release/v3.8.51 fixed this in #11968 with a mechanical codemod adding
maxRetries/retryDelay to every recursive rm/rmSync/rmdirSync under tests/, but
that PR landed only on the release branch. Because main only receives work at
the release squash, it stayed broken for the whole cycle — and repo-wide gates
then turn every open PR into main red on checks unrelated to their diff.

This is the --base main twin: re-runs the same codemod that already shipped on
the release branch (scripts/ad-hoc/codemod-rm-maxretries.mjs), so the two
branches converge on identical test-teardown semantics. Test-only; no product
logic is touched.

The remaining three failures reported on #12133 (unit full suite exceeding its
4800s ceiling, package-artifact exceeding 1200s, and the boot-smoke that is
skipped as a consequence) are runner-contention timeouts, not code defects —
validate-release-green.mjs runs those heavy gates concurrently on one shared
hosted runner. There is no fix to port for those.

* chore(scripts): carry the rm-maxretries codemod onto main alongside its output

The codemod that generated the previous commit lives in the repo on
release/v3.8.51 (added by #11968) but was never on main. Bringing it over keeps
the tool next to the change it produced, so the transformation stays
reproducible and auditable from either branch.

+- Electron release workflow: the `publish-npm` job now grants `actions: read` to the reusable `npm-publish.yml` it calls (its `publish` job requests it), which is what made GitHub refuse the whole v3.8.50 run at startup and ship the release with zero desktop assets; a `workflow_dispatch` now builds the requested tag instead of the dispatching branch and can skip the npm leg (`publish_npm=false`) when only re-attaching assets

+`npm-publish.yml` publishes through **npm Trusted Publishing (OIDC)** by default: the
+`stage-npm` job (github-hosted) exchanges GitHub's id-token for a short-lived npm
+credential for that run — no long-lived npm token in the repository secrets, no 2FA prompt, provenance attached.
+That is the bypass npm sanctions now that tokens which skip 2FA are being retired;
+it restores the fully automatic flow the project had up to v3.8.48 while keeping the

-≥85% root-disk usage, and alerts when more than the runner ceiling (default 4, tunable
-via the script's own environment) of `Runner.Listener` processes are up. Alerts land in `/var/log/runner-janitor.log`
-with a non-zero exit (grep for `⚠`).
+`lsof` is required: the janitor proves a path is idle with one snapshot of open
+files before removing it, and without the tool it removes nothing and says so
+(exit 1). Try any change with `--dry-run` first — it prints exactly what it would
+do and touches nothing.
+
+What it does every run: sweeps our own leftovers (`runner-*`, `omniroute-*`,
+`next-build*`, `e2e-build.tar.gz`) after **3 h on tmpfs** and 24 h on disk
+`_work/_temp`; kills a `next-build` older than 75 min (no job runs that long — on
+2026-08-27 one ran 70 min after GitHub had declared its job lost); prunes 48 h-old
+checkouts of runners whose unit is **stopped**; alerts on disk ≥ 85 %, memory PSI
+`full/avg60` ≥ 10 %, and more listeners than `MAX_ACTIVE_RUNNERS` (with an
+omniroute/other breakdown). Exit 1 = attention needed; read the log.
+
+## Runner units: KillMode
+
+The runner's default `KillMode=process` leaves `Runner.Worker → npm → next-build`
+alive when a unit is stopped or restarted — an orphan build keeps eating RAM and
+CPU with no job attached. Every OmniRoute unit carries a drop-in
+(`/etc/systemd/system/actions.runner.diegosouzapw-OmniRoute.<name>.service.d/10-killmode.conf`)
+with `KillMode=mixed`: SIGTERM to the listener first, SIGKILL to the whole cgroup at
+`TimeoutStop`. It takes effect on the unit's next restart — restart **one runner at
+a time, only when idle**, with the idle check and the restart in the same command.
 
 ## Operating rules
 
-- **Ceiling: 4 runners** on the 16 GB box. Runners 5–8 stay STOPPED except for
-  explicit off-peak experiments — never during a release window.
-- Stopping a runner mid-job cancels the job (observed live): `systemctl stop`
-  only when its runner is idle (`Runner.Listener` without a `Runner.Worker` child).
+- **Heavy-build ceiling: 2 at a time — enforced by label.** Every job that runs a
+  `next build` (`ci.yml` `build`, `npm-publish.yml` `publish`, both `nightly-release-green`
+  validations) targets `[self-hosted, omni-build]`, and only **two** runners carry that
+  label (`omniroute-113-5`, `omniroute-113-6`, added through the runners API — no
+  re-registration). The other six keep `omni-release` and take nothing heavy; GitHub
+  queues a third build instead of the kernel killing one. Pair with the `heavy-build-*`
+  concurrency lanes in `ci.yml`. To add capacity, label another runner — never raise
+  the count past what 31 GB holds (one next-build ≈ 14–16 GB).
+- **Never clean `/tmp` or `_work` by hand while any runner is busy.** A
+  check-then-delete with a gap between the two is how a live Build job lost its
+  `_work` on 2026-08-27. The janitor does the check and the removal in one step;
+  let it.
+- Stopping a runner mid-job cancels the job (observed live): `systemctl stop` only
+  when its listener has no `Runner.Worker` child — and do it in one command.
+- Workflows must not park artefacts in `/tmp` (it is RAM). Download to
+  `$RUNNER_TEMP` (on disk, per runner) — the 1.3 GB `next-build` artefact took 27–32
+  minutes to land on the tmpfs and 2 minutes to upload from disk.
 - The `.15` VPS is homologation-only — never runs CI runners.

+#   1) sweep stale artefacts our tooling leaves behind — tmpfs bases after 3 h
+#      (they hold RAM), disk _work/_temp bases after 24 h; only names we create,

+#      70 minutes after GitHub had already declared its job lost, eating 3.6 GB
+#      and a full core set. KillMode=mixed on the units covers systemctl
+#      stop/restart; this covers the lost-connection path.
