CI runs the test corpus as three parallel slices per lane - #4797
Conversation
The corpus is what a CI job's wall time is made of: six of the eight minutes of a Linux lane, eleven of the thirteen of the 32-bit one, on a 4-vCPU runner (the same corpus takes 85 s here on four jobs). The Makefile takes TEST_SHARD=k/n and runs the k-th of n slices of test/*.rb and the bundled packages' tests, by position in the sorted list so every test lands in exactly one slice, and each CI lane runs the corpus as three such jobs. Slice 1 also carries the C-side test legs (`make test`) and, on Linux/gcc, the property gates, the benchmarks and optcarrot; slices 2 and 3 run the corpus alone (`make test-corpus`). Twelve jobs in place of four, each a third of the corpus, so the run's wall time is the longest slice plus the build.

Its three corpus slices took 490-520 s against the gcc lane's 150-300 s on the same slices, and the whole difference is the cache: the posix lanes' per-test compiles go through sccache (common.mk re-wraps the command-line CC; 91% hits on the last run), the -m32 lane compiled every TU cold. Measured locally with ccache disabled, the same slice costs 148 s under -m32 and 146 s under 64-bit gcc, so the -m32 codegen is not slower. The lane now sets up sccache exactly as the posix job does and prints its stats. The test-step comment in the posix job, which claimed the CC override bypasses sccache, is corrected to what the stats show.

CWE: CWE-269 — Improper Privilege Management
Restrict CI token permissions and disable checkout credential persistence.
The workflow has no permissions block, so its effective GITHUB_TOKEN scopes depend on repository or organization defaults. The action defaults its token input to github.token. Set the workflow permission to contents: read, which is sufficient for checkout and the action's release lookup. If later steps do not require authenticated Git operations, disable checkout credential persistence in both jobs.

…he service per compile With twelve jobs each firing four compiles a second at the GitHub cache service, it answered "rate limit exceeded" (resource_exhausted) to about half of sccache's reads and writes (run 35706592343, the -m32 slice 2 server log): a read that fails is a miss, a write that fails never lands, and the corpus slices settled at 35-75% hits with 300-600 write errors each. Every lane now points sccache at a local directory and carries it as one actions/cache entry per lane and slice: the key holds the run id so each run saves its store, and the restore key takes the newest earlier one for the same lane and slice, so a PR restores what master last saved. The diagnostic log dump on the -m32 lane is dropped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BQxF2sMafrf1WPJ6qQBLLs

Pin both actions/cache references to full commit SHAs. The references at lines 66 and 199 run in reachable CI jobs and use mutable @v4 tags. If the tag moves or the upstream action is compromised, substituted action code can run after checkout with access to the CI workspace. Use a reviewed full commit SHA for each reference.
