fix(ch32v): honor selected PlatformIO platform and package pins

[zackees]

Summary

• Resolve explicitly selected CH32V PlatformIO platform repositories/archives and their pinned platform package sources instead of silently falling back to fbuild's default xPack toolchain.
• Read the selected board's core, variant, ISA/ABI, and host-specific package requirements; honor explicit package and board overrides.
• Lock GitHub repository sources to immutable commits, hash mutable archive payloads, and record effective package identities in the build fingerprint and logs.
• Preserve the unpinned platform = ch32v native default. A nonexistent ch32v@1.1.0 registry pin now fails rather than quietly selecting another compiler.

Closes #1495. Depends on the already-merged #1491 core and includes the merged Dylint speedups from main (#1524, #1528, #1529, #1526).

Validation

• 46 CH32V unit tests passed (2 network integration tests ignored in regular suite)
• Real pinned Community-PIO-CH32V platform integration built a CH32V003 sketch with GCC 8.2.0
• fbuild-build dry-run/check source test passed
• Changed-crate clippy -D warnings, formatting, and git diff --check passed
• Pre-push review cleared after fixing board override precedence, selected variant/core, archive identity, and fingerprint invalidation findings

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • CH32V builds can now use platform definitions and packages from GitHub repositories and archives, with package versions pinned to specific revisions.
  • Board core, variant, ISA, and ABI settings are resolved from platform metadata and environment overrides.
  • RISC-V compiler selection supports configurable executable prefixes and automatic discovery of a unique complete tool suite.

• Bug Fixes

  • Vendor-specific ISA extensions are preserved when using non-default compiler prefixes.

• Behavior Changes

  • Dry-run and check modes report when source-based CH32V platform metadata requires fetching; run fbuild install to resolve it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CH32V build path now resolves PlatformIO platform and package sources, selects board and host-specific settings, and carries resolved identities into toolchain configuration and fingerprints. The change also adds GitHub archive and submodule resolution, and rejects repository-based CH32V sources during non-fetching provisioning. Rust toolchain-pin scanning now limits matches to YAML files.

Changes

Rust Toolchain Pin Scan

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Limit toolchain pin matching to YAML ci/check_rust_toolchain_pins.py, ci/test_rust_toolchain_pins.py	The validator now ignores toolchain: matches outside .yml and .yaml files. A test checks that a Rust struct-field assignment is ignored.

CH32V PlatformIO Source Resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve immutable GitHub sources and submodules crates/fbuild-packages-fetch/src/platformio_repository.rs, crates/fbuild-packages-fetch/src/submodules.rs, crates/fbuild-packages-fetch/src/lib.rs, crates/fbuild-library/src/library/ch32v_core.rs, crates/fbuild-core/tests/platformio_ch32v_resolution.rs	Repository refs resolve to immutable commit archives. Archive downloads receive checksums. GitHub platform archives can resolve submodules from parent-commit gitlinks.
Select CH32V platform packages and board settings crates/fbuild-build-mcu/src/ch32v/platform_source.rs	The adapter reads platform and board metadata, selects package requirements by host, and applies explicit package selections. Tests cover package, host, and board selection.
Use the selected RISC-V executable prefix and ISA crates/fbuild-toolchain/src/toolchain/riscv.rs, crates/fbuild-build-mcu/src/ch32v/mcu_config.rs	The RISC-V toolchain uses a configured or discovered executable prefix for validation, paths, and include lookup. CH32V ISA normalization depends on the selected prefix.
Apply resolved packages and board settings to CH32V builds crates/fbuild-build-mcu/src/ch32v/*, crates/fbuild-build/src/lib.rs	Provisioning and builds use the selected packages and board values in compiler configuration, logging, and fingerprints. DryRun and Check reject repository or archive platform sources before fetching.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cde5a

A CH32V project that selects a platform or package source needs network access on every build and may download large archives again. This applies even when every package is already installed. A pinned GitHub core that has no submodules can also fail to install. These issues should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cde5a

Selected platforms and package pins now influence executable build tools. The normal download path has identity and integrity safeguards, but reuse of an existing package installation does not recheck its contents. The resulting risk depends on who can modify the build cache.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: A warm selected-platform installation is accepted because its directory exists, without checking completion or revalidating its contents. If that cache entry is modified or prepopulated, metadata under a pinned identity can select different executable package sources for subsequent CH32V builds.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — An altered selected-platform cache entry could affect CH32V builds reusing that identity under the same user cache. The evidence does not establish cross-user or cross-tenant access to that cache.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — If an actor can write the selected platform’s final cache directory, the next build can read its substituted package metadata without an installation checksum or validation pass, then use the resulting package selections. Cache-write capability has not been established for an external attacker.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — New installs verify a supplied checksum and validate before atomic commit. GitHub repository URLs are restricted to HTTPS GitHub and resolved to commits; local platform directories are rejected. The existing-directory path bypasses installation validation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The installer’s separate is_cached check requires a completion sentinel, whereas staged_install accepts an existing directory without one. A successful new install writes the sentinel only after atomic rename.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Before treating a warm selected-platform installation as authoritative, check completion and validate its metadata and contents against an appropriate trusted source identity; a sentinel alone cannot detect later modification.

- Around line 309-323: Update resolve_source_packages to persist resolved
repository and archive identities keyed by the requested package spec, and reuse
them on subsequent builds and provisions instead of calling
resolve_github_repository or resolve_archive_source each time. Re-resolve only
when the spec changes or during an explicit refresh such as install, while
preserving the existing resolution behavior for cache misses.

Review comments at @crates/fbuild-packages-fetch/src/submodules.rs:
- Line 163: Update `is_empty()` to determine whether a submodule plan is stale
using only `sources` and `expected_empty`; do not let the opportunistic
`github_gitlinks` flag make an otherwise empty plan non-empty.
