The 10 GB, LRU-evicted, PR-scoped Actions cache was being thrashed - the
docker simulator buildx layers (~6 GiB), plus per-PR ccache and apt-archive
writes whose keys never hit - which kept evicting the shared ccache, while
the apt mirror timed out often enough to break PR CI. Move the heavy caches
to ghcr (free, separate pool) and make PR runs read-only against the Actions
cache.
apt dependencies from prebuilt ghcr .deb bundles
- ci-deps-image.yml resolves each package list under .github/ci-deps/ into
its .deb closure and publishes ghcr.io/<owner>/wolfssl-ci-debs:<tag> in
two tiers: <ver>-minimal (make-check family) and <ver>-full (interop
superset), for ubuntu-22.04 and 24.04.
- install-apt-deps gains a ghcr-debs-tag input: pull the bundle and install
offline (--no-download) so the apt mirror is never on the PR critical
path. Any failure (bundle missing/not public/incomplete) falls through to
the existing apt path, so it is always safe to set.
sim-test buildx layers to a shared ghcr registry cache
- the 7 docker simulator workflows switch from cache-to: type=gha to
ghcr.io/wolfssl/wolfssl-sim-cache:<scope>. cache-from reads on every run
(anonymous); cache-to writes only on the weekend cron and manual
workflow_dispatch. Per-distinct-image tags and de-duplicated writers keep
parallel matrix jobs from racing on one ref.
ccache: PRs read, the schedule writes
- ccache-setup gains read-only: PR runs restore the shared master-scoped
cache but never upload; schedule/push runs refresh it. Wired across
os-check (linux + macOS), pq-all, smoke-test and the 12 small make-check
workflows.
- parallel-make-check.py gains --build-only (compile every config, skip the
test phase) so weekday-morning seed crons warm the cache PR runs consume.
artifact retention capped at 7 days on the failure-log/result uploads that
previously defaulted to 90.
ONE-TIME SETUP: after their first publish, make the ghcr packages
wolfssl-ci-debs and wolfssl-sim-cache PUBLIC so anonymous pulls work from PR
(including fork) runs; until then everything falls back cleanly.
GitHub Actions now emits "Node.js 20 actions are deprecated" warnings:
actions are forced to Node.js 24 by default starting 2026-06-16, and
Node.js 20 is removed from the runners on 2026-09-16. Update every
JavaScript action referenced by the workflows and the local composite
actions to the lowest release that runs on Node.js 24:
actions/checkout v4 -> v5
actions/checkout (SHA pin) v4.1.7 -> v5
actions/upload-artifact v4 -> v6 (v5 still Node.js 20)
actions/download-artifact v4 -> v7 (v5/v6 still Node.js 20)
actions/cache[/restore|/save] v4 -> v5
actions/setup-python v5 -> v6
actions/github-script v7 -> v8
docker/setup-buildx-action v3 -> v4
docker/build-push-action v5 -> v7 (v6 still Node.js 20)
docker/login-action v3 -> v4
microsoft/setup-msbuild v2 -> v3
open-watcom/setup-watcom v0 -> v1
Actions already running on Node.js 24 (jwlawson/actions-setup-cmake,
shogo82148/actions-setup-perl, msys2/setup-msys2, dorny/paths-filter)
are left unchanged. These bumps are runtime-only; no workflow uses an
input or output removed by the new majors, and v4-format artifacts
remain compatible across the upload v6 / download v7 backends.
- se050_ed25519_verify_msg: initialize *res = 0 at entry so failures don't leak a stale res = 1 from a prior good verify.
- Ed25519 import functions: reset keyIdSet / keyId under WOLFSSL_SE050 in wc_ed25519_import_private_key_ex, wc_ed25519_import_private_only, wc_ed25519_import_public_ex so overwriting host-side key material invalidates any prior SE050 object binding.
- New workflow .github/workflows/se050-sim.yml: builds wolfSSL against the NXP Plug&Trust SDK and runs the wolfCrypt tests against the SE050Sim simulator. Patches the upstream Dockerfile to use the PR's wolfSSL source.
- ed25519_test SE050 adjustments:
- Cap the RFC 8032 loop at 5 iters — iter 5's 1023 B msg exceeds NXP SDK SE05X_TLV_BUF_SIZE_CMD = 900.
- rareEd verifies and private-only sign: expect WC_HW_E (SE050 delegates malformed-input rejection to the secure element) instead of BAD_FUNC_ARG / SIG_VERIFY_E.
- Skip ed25519ctx_test / ed25519ph_test — SE050 port drops the context/prehash params so RFC 8032 ctx/ph vectors can't byte-match.
