Description

Enable an explicitly selected managed-only NativeAOT build of the established
src/ CLI. Native publication previously succeeded while runtime configuration,
version calculation, formatting and JSON diagnostics failed.

  • GitVersionManagedOnly=true excludes LibGit2Sharp, selects managed Git and
    rejects unavailable backends. Native publication requires this flag. Ordinary
    release, tool, MSBuild and Docker defaults remain unchanged.
  • Replace reflective discovery/serialization on native execution paths with
    ordered typed registrations, generated YAML/JSON contracts and a finite member
    graph for version formatting. Preserve ordinary formatter behavior and the
    experimental CLI's shared-source boundaries.
  • Retain focused product regression tests for registration order, configuration,
    formatting and JSON wire contracts. The temporary validation workflow and
    harnesses were removed after recording these results. The final diff contains
    only the implementation and product regression tests under src/.

Refs #5210. Keep this PR as a draft. Native execution evidence does not
authorize a production distribution channel or close the remaining gates below.

Validation

Base: main at bde36696007d412195a0f2dd5f43d6ae820de025, refreshed before the
validation follow-up. SDK 11.0.100-rc.2.26504.105; native runtime/compiler
10.0.13 or 11.0.0-rc.2.26504.105 for the matching framework.

Completed Linux/macOS evidence:
run 39496997430,
revision ac0f005710d4468b1d776b8c9a411421345e9999. Its ten Linux/macOS jobs
passed completely. Windows ARM64 passed both frameworks in the corrected rerun:
run 39499687013,
revision 599721e6e52047ac1a37effc04e3b2cca0807ba0.
Windows x64, including both Server Core versions and users, passed both frameworks
in run 39503302370,
revision 94f5b051a64cac5541f16e81a63e012d9efdc7ac.
Earlier failed jobs are not counted as passing. The reruns repaired temporary
launcher quoting and Windows fixture portability/access, with no product source
changes.

Each completed target/framework passes the same fixed 99-case corpus against a
same-source ordinary JIT comparator, then 99 cases for a tool-path installation
with each SDK (10.0.402 and pinned SDK 11). Tool-path, isolated global and
local-manifest dispatch each additionally pass six independent smoke checks.

Native target net10.0 standalone / SDK10 / SDK11 net11.0 standalone / SDK10 / SDK11
linux-x64 99 / 99 / 99 99 / 99 / 99
linux-arm64 99 / 99 / 99 99 / 99 / 99
linux-musl-x64 99 / 99 / 99 99 / 99 / 99
linux-musl-arm64 99 / 99 / 99 99 / 99 / 99
osx-arm64 99 / 99 / 99 99 / 99 / 99
win-x64 99 / 99 / 99 99 / 99 / 99
win-arm64 99 / 99 / 99 99 / 99 / 99

Completed totals: 1,386 standalone + 2,772 installed-tool parity comparisons,
154 real NativeAOT executor checks and 770 runtime-isolated executions /
4,620 independent smoke checks
. All reports were downloaded and
independently checked for exact case membership and successful flags.

  • Glibc executables build on UBI 8.10 and execute on 15 userspaces per framework:
    UBI 8/9/10, Ubuntu 22.04/24.04/26.04, Debian 13, Azure Linux 3, CentOS Stream
    9/10, openSUSE 16, SLES BCI 15.7/16 and Fedora 43/44 (net10) or 44/45 (net11).
    Fedora 45 needs its OpenSSL 3 compatibility package. These are userspace tests
    on the hosted kernel, including RHEL-compatible UBI and SUSE BCI scopes.
  • Musl executes on Alpine 3.21–3.24 for net10 and 3.23/3.24 for net11. Every
    Linux image runs the standalone command and both SDKs' tool-path/global
    commands without shared .NET, as root and nonroot. Standalone uses UID65532;
    per-user SDK tools retain their installer-only permissions and run as their
    actual nonroot installer.
  • macOS 15 ARM64 executes those five commands with known SDK/shared runtime
    contents unavailable, then restores those contents. Both frameworks pass;
    this establishes runtime-resolution independence, not a clean macOS image.
  • Windows Server Core 2022/2025 process containers pass the same five commands
    as ContainerAdministrator and ContainerUser without a shared modern .NET
    installation: 40 executions / 240 checks across both frameworks. No Hyper-V
    isolation is used. Transferred per-user fixtures use short paths and explicit
    read/execute access for container users; this does not alter product defaults.
  • The native executor harness checks CR/LF normalization, empty/unterminated
    output, exit codes, 10,000 interleaved lines on each pipe, quoted arguments,
    deterministic environment, UTF-8 under two console encodings, process-start
    failure and a failing credential helper against a loopback HTTP401 fixture.

Strict publication treats ILLink/ILCompiler diagnostics as errors, excludes
libgit2 from the resolved graph and rejects DLL payloads. Evidence records actual
SDK/OS/CPU/user identities, image identities, source fingerprints and executable
checksums. Packages used only an isolated local feed; CI uploaded evidence only.
No native packages, binaries, archives or images were publicly published.

All src/ inputs in the completed run have SHA256
374930a1e035132a8738db1fd0625f04cf2b0c5cefd26215b151cf7f26c789b4.
Its full validation-input fingerprint is
03a2cba8a30c8ddb25b3009b05be512a1e461b46d5a3b9b688f7bf0a76d37193.
All three validated revisions have that identical src/ digest. The final
cleanup is checked against that product source and unchanged root build inputs;
the run revisions above identify the actual native executions, rather than a
later cleanup commit. Validation scripts and reports are retained locally for
reproduction; no permanent validation CI is included in the final diff.

Full ordinary CI
and new CLI CI
passed on 9814a8bf534726fb87ffee1ed9088948308f04b8. Its src/, SDK pin and root
build settings are unchanged by this validation follow-up. Final-head ordinary
CI is tracked separately and does not substitute for native execution. Focused
retained tests include VersionStrategiesPreserveTheCompleteDiscoveryOrder,
BuildAgentsPreserveTheCompleteDiscoveryOrder,
FormatVersionValuesPreservesObjectFormatting,
ValidationEnvelopePreservesFieldNamesNullsAndDiagnosticDetails and
VariableRequestPreservesWireNamesAndEscaping.

Final CI follow-up

The ordinary CI run on cleanup revision 33697ff2b exposed a race in
GitVersion.Testing's ExecuteGitCmd: stdout/stderr callbacks concurrently
mutated one StringBuilder, aborting the macOS/net11 managed Core test process
with Destination is too short (exit134).
Commit 88379d1b0 serializes both callbacks using the same lock.
ExecuteGitCmdPreservesConcurrentStandardOutputAndError reproduces corrupted
capture before the fix and passes afterward on both net10/net11, checking all
10,000 lines per stream. JUnit reports verify the exact regression identity;
each framework reports passed1, failed0, skipped0. Local CodeRabbit reviewed
both changed files and completed with zero findings.
This follow-up changes only the test helper and its regression test; shipped
NativeAOT source and release defaults remain unchanged. The native runs and
source digest above remain attributed to their actual executed revisions.
Current-head ordinary CI is monitored separately.

Remaining gates

  • The target policy is the corresponding .NET10 and .NET11
    OS matrix within the existing seven RIDs. Hosted/container evidence does not
    establish older Windows kernels/qualified desktop or Nano editions, older
    Linux kernels, or a fully clean macOS installation. No suitable VMs are
    available; these gaps remain explicit and the PR remains draft.
  • Signing/notarization, third-party notices, production provenance and release
    integration require a separate distribution decision. Disposable validation
    packages/images are not release artifacts.
  • The corpus is bounded; requested cultures do not prove every installed locale,
    authentication failure, process signal or Git topology. Existing net11 NU1510
    pruning advisories are distinct from strict native compiler/linker diagnostics.

📝 Walkthrough

The changes add an opt-in managed-only NativeAOT build path, update serialization, formatting, and service registration for that path, and add tooling to publish builds and compare managed and native CLI behavior. Normal release defaults remain unchanged.

Changes: Managed-only NativeAOT preview

Layer / File(s) Summary
Managed-only build and backend selection
src/Directory.Build.props, src/GitVersion.App/GitVersion.App.csproj, src/GitVersion.App/FeatureSelections.cs, src/GitVersion.App/CliHost.cs
The app project adds a managed-only build property, excludes the LibGit2Sharp reference in that mode, and requires managed-only mode for NativeAOT builds. Managed-only builds select the managed Git module and reject unsupported backend selectors.
Generated serialization and configuration metadata
src/GitVersion.App/ConfigurationValidation*, src/GitVersion.BuildAgents/Agents/AppVeyor*, src/GitVersion.Configuration/*, src/GitVersion.App.Tests/ConfigurationValidationJsonTests.cs, src/GitVersion.BuildAgents.Tests/Agents/AppVeyorJsonTests.cs, src/GitVersion.Configuration.Tests/Configuration/*
Configuration validation and AppVeyor requests use source-generated JSON metadata. Configuration serialization and property lookup use generated metadata or supported model-property lists. Tests cover JSON output, legacy YAML conversions, and property queries.
Trim-aware formatting and explicit registrations
src/GitVersion.Core/Formatting/*, src/GitVersion.Core/VersionCalculation/*, src/GitVersion.Core/Core/Abstractions/IGitVersionModule.cs, src/GitVersion.BuildAgents/GitVersionBuildAgentsModule.cs, src/GitVersion.Core.Tests/Formatting/VersionFormatTests.cs, src/GitVersion.Core.Tests/DependencyRegistrationTests.cs
Formatting uses explicit member metadata for supported version models and adds trimming annotations to object-based member discovery. Build-agent and version-strategy modules explicitly register implementations. Tests cover formatting behavior and registration order.
Parity harness setup and comparison
build/nativeaot-parity.py
The harness accepts managed and native executable inputs, prepares its environment and Git fixtures, and compares results, normalized output, and side effects while recording per-case failures.
Parity scenarios and report
build/nativeaot-parity.py
Parity cases cover configuration, Git history, formatting, generated files, logging, build-agent integrations, backend selection, and optional existing-history clones. The JSON report includes hashes, metadata, limitations, case results, and pass/fail totals.
Publication validation and preview documentation
build/publish-nativeaot.ps1, build/nativeaot.md
The script publishes and validates native and managed builds, runs parity checks, records evidence, and can create a checksummed archive. The documentation describes the preview scope, validation results, and remaining platform and release gates.

GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL to os.devnull and GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM to "1", alongside the
existing GitVersion variables, so fixture and child-process Git operations
ignore user and system configuration.
- Around line 347-348: Update the source-identity logic around the subprocess
calls to derive the repository root from __file__, pass that root as cwd, and
add the existing 60-second timeout to both git commands. In the source_files
iteration, resolve each filename against root before calling is_file(),

@coderabbitai review

Please re-review commit a8978c5, which addresses both findings from the full review:

  • Global/system Git configuration is disabled for fixtures and child processes.
  • Source identity uses the script's repository root, sanitized Git environment, root-relative file paths and 60-second subprocess timeouts.

Both failures were reproduced before the fix. The repaired harness passes all 99 cases per framework from outside the checkout with hostile global/system configuration and an unrelated inherited GIT_DIR, while reporting the expected source SHA and digest. The PR remains a draft.

🟠 Major · Convert direct backend-check failures into failed report cases. · nativeaot-parity.py:329-341

build/nativeaot-parity.py:329-341
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Convert direct backend-check failures into failed report cases.

The direct subprocess.run calls can raise subprocess.TimeoutExpired when a backend exceeds its timeout and OSError when a process cannot start. These exceptions bypass results.append(...), so main() can exit before printing the JSON report. The publication wrapper then receives an incomplete parity.json instead of a normal failed-case report.

Route these checks through an exception-safe helper, or catch these exceptions at this boundary and append failed cases with the captured failure details.

compare runs managed before native. These cases provide no cache reset or capture, so native can read the managed process's flavor-independent .git/gitversion_cache entry. The cases can therefore pass without exercising native cache calculation or detecting native cache mutations. Reset or restore the same initial cache before each process and capture the resulting cache state for comparison.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Sanitize Git variables before resolving the PowerShell source identity.

If the publishing process inherits GIT_DIR or related Git variables, git -C $repo can resolve a different repository than the parity runner. The resulting source_sha mismatch causes the publication to throw Parity report does not match the selected inputs and published executables.

Apply the parity runner's Git-environment sanitization to both Git calls in Get-SourceIdentity.

Require the complete parity case set before packaging.

build/nativeaot.md requires all 99 parity cases. The wrapper checks only that some cases passed and that existing-history-json passed. If build/nativeaot-parity.py omits cases while reporting zero failures, the wrapper can still create the archive.

@coderabbitai review

Please review the latest SonarCloud remediation commit on this draft PR. The parity runner is split into scenario groups and execution/reporting helpers; fixture constants, environment filtering and callback binding address the Python findings. PowerShell uses -not consistently. The C# S2325 annotation documents an instance member required by IConfigurationSerializer, matching its neighboring methods.

Validation: the exact same ordered 99-case corpus passes on net10.0 and net11.0 against the existing native/JIT pairs; Configuration tests pass 298/298 per TFM; targeted environment/backend/cache/callback and PowerShell identity/gate checks pass. Fresh CodeRabbit CLI review completed with zero findings. No native platform or distribution gap is closed by this cleanup, and the PR remains a draft.

The completed review through 31e3e8f reported no actionable comments. Please review the final four-line extraction in 0923ae8, which separates startup/configuration validation to address SonarCloud's remaining complexity finding (16 versus the allowed 15). Both TFMs still pass the same 99 parity cases, and the delta CLI review completed with zero findings. The PR remains a draft.

@coderabbitai review

Please review the new validation-only NativeAOT platform matrix and supporting scripts on this draft PR, including the remote-only checkout regression fix. The branch has been rebased onto bde3669 (latest main at the rebase).

The matrix uses native target OS/CPU runners for all seven RIDs on net10.0 and net11.0. It pins strict native/JIT publishing inputs and runs the 99-case parity corpus; Linux also runs independent checks in containers without .NET, as root/nonroot. Only reports/logs are retained, and release defaults/publication are unchanged.

Local Linux ARM64 glibc and musl native publishes and 99/99 parity pass for net10.0, plus all six no-.NET smoke checks for both root and UID 65532. Seven validation regression tests pass, including a red/green reproduction of refs lost from a remote-only/detached source checkout. All fourteen hosted target/framework jobs are being verified; their configuration alone is not counted as passed platform evidence.

CLI findings about stderr/JSON separation, inaccessible runtime paths and malformed-report failure evidence were confirmed and fixed. Fresh CLI review is currently rate-limited; a cached zero-finding result was not counted as a fresh review. Please verify these repairs and the current diff. The PR must remain a draft while outstanding platform/distribution gates remain.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Validate the complete parity case set.

check_report validates the count and uniqueness of case names, but it requires only existing-history-json. The parity corpus also registers existing-history-config. A report can replace that case with another unique passing name and pass the NativeAOT gate without executing the complete corpus.

Compare the reported names with one fixed set containing all 99 corpus names. Add a regression case that replaces existing-history-config with another unique passing name.

build/nativeaot-platform-validation.py:73-78
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject every DLL from the managed-only NativeAOT output.

The current closure check rejects only libgit2 filenames and gitversion.dll. An unrelated managed DLL can therefore pass the gate. The validator then proceeds to parity and reports success, and the preview publisher can create an archive despite the invalid NativeAOT closure.

Suggested fix
-    if any("libgit2" in path.name.lower() for path in native.rglob("*")) or (native / "gitversion.dll").exists():
+    if any("libgit2" in path.name.lower() or path.suffix.lower() == ".dll" for path in native.rglob("*")):
         raise RuntimeError("Native output includes a forbidden managed/backend payload")

Apply the same extension-independent DLL check in build/publish-nativeaot.ps1, replacing its exact gitversion.dll test.

@coderabbitai review

Please review current head 296b154 while keeping this PR a draft. Both confirmed findings from review 5590531960 are repaired: both validators require the exact fixed 99-case corpus and reject every DLL payload case-insensitively; the manifest is included in source identity. The two new regression tests fail all five injected variants before the fix and pass afterward, all nine regression tests pass, PowerShell guard checks pass, and fresh CLI review reports zero findings. The older-OS baseline matrix also completed all 14 jobs with 99/99 parity each and 240 no-.NET smoke checks; remaining clean-VM and distribution gaps stay open.

The head is now stable at 47a248e. The local review’s Windows mount-path finding was fixed by placing isolated validation output on C: and rejecting other drives. Please review the hosted/container validation additions and this fix while keeping the PR draft. The previous manual request stopped because its head changed; that was not a completed review.

Please review the fixes at stable head 481b339 while the PR stays draft. The previous manual review actually completed on 47a248e. The new commits resolve Sonar findings, omit the unsupported Linux tool-install --arch option, and validate Windows executable-runner .cmd dispatchers against their packaged native .store payload. All 23 helper regression tests pass; expanded native CI is rerunning.

Please review final cleanup head 33697ff. All available hosted/container validation completed and its revision-bound results are now in the PR body. The temporary workflow and all validation harnesses/publisher scripts were removed as requested; the final diff has only 32 src/ implementation and product-test files. Product sources retain the exact validated SHA256 and root build inputs, and the branch is rebased on latest main. Keep this PR draft; older/full-OS and distribution gaps remain documented.
