The size cap was the wrong shape: an --incremental user asked for a
carried tree, and the invariant that matters is which trees survive —
the newest successful one (the next run's automatic fork base) and the
newest one (what a failed run is re-forked from explicitly). The cap
is gone, with the tree measurement and manifest field it needed; the
retention planner now works on the records' outcomes alone and fills a
budget: staged_trees staged trees per target, the newer ones first,
the pair always among them. When the budget cannot hold the pair (one
staged tree configured, the newest build failed and an older
successful tree present) only one of the two is successful and that
one is kept; with no successful tree at all, the most recent one is.
The budget is a setting of the nested config file:
deb:
incremental:
staged_trees: 2
(default 2; 0 clamps to 1 with a warning — the newest successful tree
always survives). The fork-base selection no longer truncates the
candidate list to the budget before ranking it: with a budget of one
and a failed newest tree, that truncation hid the successful record
and forked the failed one instead.
The per-target retention kept the newest five staged trees however
large they are: five carried kernel trees are three-digit GiB, most of
it compiled objects whose resume value does not scale with their size.
A staged tree larger than the retention cap (a user setting, see
below) is now dropped at the end of its own build — the record
degrades to metadata-only and the next build re-stages from scratch —
and the retention sweep also degrades older oversized trees, covering
records kept by older pkh versions and interrupted builds. The cap of
0 disables the size rule; the count cap is unchanged.
The cap is the first setting of a user configuration file,
~/.config/pkh/config.json (the directory already holds contexts.json):
missing file and missing keys mean defaults, a corrupt file is backed
up and the defaults apply, and PKH_STAGED_MAXSIZE overrides the file.
The default is 20G, the scale where a carried kernel tree stops
earning its disk.
Every retained tree's size is measured once at retention (the same
concurrent, mount-crossing-safe walker the prune report uses) and
stored in the record manifest, so sweeps reuse it instead of re-walking
the trees on every build.
The incremental fork's staged-tree copy wants to report byte progress
against the same measurements the prune report is built from: move the
concurrent size walk and the human-readable byte formatting out of
prune into utils::size and rewire prune to them. Behavior is unchanged:
same-device walks, unreadable entries count as zero.
Move the generic components out of src/build/ into a new src/debian/
module so they can be reused independently of the build pipeline:
deb822 control parsing (plus the debian/control model), file checksum
registry, debian/files registry, Debian version handling and changelog
entry parsing.
Merge OpenPGP clearsigning into utils/gpg.rs next to the existing key
discovery helper, making signing available outside of builds.
Delegate changelog.rs header/footer parsing to the new
debian::changelog parser, removing the duplicate regex implementation.
src/build/ keeps only build-specific logic: the pipeline driver,
build types, environment setup and the .buildinfo/.changes writers.
