Diego Rodrigues de Sa e Souza e71be03398 chore(ops): make the runner janitor act on what it can prove, not advise (#11893)
* chore(ops): make the runner janitor act on what it can prove, not advise

The .113 janitor already knew the rules and had been shouting them into a log
nobody reads: on 2026-08-28 12:00Z it reported "10 listeners > ceiling 8" and
"disk 85%" — for hours — while 6.7 GB of dead-run leftovers sat on the 12 GB
tmpfs (RAM) because its patterns matched neither e2e-build.tar.gz nor
next-build/, its 24 h fuse is a day too long for memory, and its _work/_temp
base (/home/*/actions-runner*) does not exist on this box (runners live under
/opt). Measured while draining the v3.8.50 npm publish (postmortem, Parte III).

What changes:

- idle is PROVEN before removal, with ONE lsof snapshot filtered to the swept
  bases (lsof +D per path walked whole trees and took minutes; 460 candidates
  grepping a re-printed 83k-line string was the other half). 20 s on the box.
  Without lsof the janitor removes nothing and says why (exit 1).
- tmpfs leftovers go after 3 h, disk _work/_temp after 24 h; both overridable.
  Patterns gain next-build* and e2e-build.tar.gz; /opt/actions-runner* is swept.
- zombie builds: a next-build older than 75 min has no job (a real Build step is
  ~26 min). On 2026-08-27 one ran 70 min after GitHub had declared its job lost,
  holding 3.6 GB. KillMode=mixed on the units covers systemctl stop/restart;
  this covers the lost-connection path.
- prunes 48 h-old checkouts under _work of runners whose unit is STOPPED — an
  active runner is never touched.
- alerts on memory PSI (full/avg60) and reports the listener ceiling with an
  omniroute/other breakdown (the box also hosts OmniHeuris and OmniMind).
  Enforcing the ceiling stays an operator decision (label split), not cron's.
- --dry-run prints exactly what it would do and touches nothing; unknown
  arguments are rejected.

Dry-run on the real box: 460 stale omniroute-* test fixtures (930 MB of RAM) it
would reclaim, 0 busy, 0 false "removed" lines, 20 s. The unit suite drives the
script against a fixture tree with every base redirected; the sweep branch runs
where lsof exists (hosted CI images) and the without-lsof contract everywhere.

docs/ops/RUNNER_BOX.md reconciled to the measured box: 31 GB (it said 16), ten
listeners, the 14 GB next-build ceiling, the KillMode drop-in, and the rule that
nothing is cleaned by hand while a runner is busy.

* docs(ops): restore the frontmatter fumadocs requires on RUNNER_BOX.md

Rewriting the page whole dropped its `title:` frontmatter, and docs/ is
compiled into the Next build by fumadocs-mdx — so Build, Fast Production Build
and dast-smoke all died with "[MDX] invalid frontmatter in
docs/ops/RUNNER_BOX.md". Same block as before, verbatim.

# runner-janitor — self-hosted runner box hygiene for the .113 pool.
#
# Runs from cron every 30 min (see docs/ops/RUNNER_BOX.md). It ACTS on what it
# can prove is safe and ALERTS on what needs an operator decision. Reads of
# "is this in use?" and the removal happen in the same command, never in two
# passes: a check-then-delete with a gap is how a live Build job lost its _work
# on 2026-08-27.
#
# Measured box (2026-08-28): 31 GB RAM, 32 cores, 15 GB swap, /tmp = 12 GB
# tmpfs (RAM!), 188 GB disk. A single `next-build` peaks at ~14 GB, so two
# concurrent heavy builds saturate the box and three take it down (06:42Z that
# day: load 56, two jobs lost). The v3.8.50 postmortem (Parte III) has the numbers.
#
# What it does, in order:
# 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,
# only when no process has them open
# 2) kill zombie builds: a `next-build` older than ZOMBIE_BUILD_MAX_MIN has no
# job attached (a real Build step measures ~26 min). On 2026-08-27 one ran
# 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.
# 3) prune 48 h-old checkouts under _work of runners whose unit is INACTIVE
# (stopped runners cannot be mid-job; active ones are never touched)
# 4) alert: root disk >= DISK_ALERT_PCT, memory PSI full/avg60 >= threshold,
# Runner.Listener count above the ceiling (with a per-project breakdown —
# the box also hosts OmniHeuris and OmniMind runners)
#
# Usage: runner-janitor.sh [--dry-run] [--help]
# Exit codes: 0 healthy · 1 attention needed (printed to stdout for the log).
