…nicking A single panic while holding the AgentService, Ad4mDb, or RuntimeService mutex poisoned it, causing every subsequent GraphQL request to panic with 'Couldn't get lock on Ad4mDb: PoisonError'. This cascaded into killing the entire conductor mid-test. Fixes: - agent/mod.rs: with_global_instance + with_mutable_global_instance now recover from PoisonError via unwrap_or_else(|e| e.into_inner()) instead of calling .expect() which panics on poisoned locks. - agent/mod.rs: load() no longer panics on file read/parse errors — logs and returns early instead, preventing the initial mutex poison. - db.rs: Ad4mDb::with_global_instance same PoisonError recovery. - runtime_service/mod.rs: RuntimeService::with_global_instance same fix. These were the root cause of integration test failures where 'conductors were killed while they shouldn't be' — the conductor didn't receive a kill signal, it died from a panic cascade triggered by one bad request.
CodeRabbit caught that returning early on profile read/parse error left
self.agent = None, which causes downstream store_agent_profile() callers
that call .expect("agent") to panic — exactly what we were trying to
prevent. Fix: restructure so errors log and fall through to the existing
default-agent creation path, ensuring self.agent is always initialized.

No orphaned executors. No port conflicts between re-runs. No complex teardown logic needed in test code. The workspace (pnpm node_modules, built languages, executor binaries) is bind-mounted read-write so no re-install inside the container. --network host so executor localhost ports are reachable from tests.

Per Nico's direction: use the existing CI image for everything, not a new Ubuntu 25.04 test image. Running builds inside the same Ubuntu 22.04 container ensures binary compatibility between build and test environments. - build-and-test: entire build runs inside 'docker run coasys/ad4m-ci-linux' (runs as root with HOME=/home/circleci to access circleci user's pre-installed tools: cargo, pnpm, deno, node). Binaries stashed after container exits. - integration-tests-js/multi-user/email-verification: tests run inside 'docker run --rm coasys/ad4m-ci-linux --network host' - Remove Dockerfile.test (Ubuntu 25.04 test image no longer needed) Key benefit: container exit kills all child processes. No orphaned executors between test re-runs. No complex teardown logic needed.

…revious --user root runs Self-hosted runners reuse workdirs. Previous CI runs used --user root which left node_modules and target/ owned by root. Running as host UID now, pnpm gets EACCES trying to open/modify those root-owned files. Fix: add pre-build step that spins up a root container to rm -rf the stale directories. One-liner, runs in seconds, ensures the build starts clean.
Running Docker as host UID (1000/marvin) with HOME=/home/circleci (owned by circleci UID 1001, mode 750). Electron postinstall tries to mkdir /home/circleci/.cache which host UID can't write to. Fix: - ELECTRON_SKIP_BINARY_DOWNLOAD=1: electron binary not needed for CI builds - npm_config_cache=/workspace/.npm-cache: keep npm cache in bind-mounted workspace (writable by host UID) rather than $HOME/.cache
…i-home
Running as host UID (1000/marvin) with HOME=/home/circleci (owned by UID 1001)
causes EACCES for any tool that writes to $HOME:
- Deno: $HOME/.cache/deno (module cache)
- electron: $HOME/.cache/electron (binary download)
- node-gyp: $HOME/.cache/node-gyp (headers)
Fix: set HOME=/workspace/.ci-home (bind-mounted, writable by host UID).
CARGO_HOME and RUSTUP_HOME still point to /home/circleci/{.cargo,.rustup}
(read-only pre-installed toolchain — no writes needed).
DENO_DIR explicitly set so Deno doesn't fall back to $HOME/.cache/deno.
The Docker cleanup step was launching a second container (--user root) to rm -rf node_modules/target. This raced with the main build container for kernel veth interfaces, causing: 'failed to add interface veth... resource temporarily unavailable' Since all workdir files are now marvin-owned (not root-owned), we can rm directly on the host — no Docker container needed for cleanup.
