fix(ci): retry refused and unreachable connections on CI downloads - #3387
A refused or unreachable connection no longer ends a CI download on its first attempt. On 2026-11-10 the Tidy Lane (cuda) job failed fetching the apt.llvm.org signing key with curl: (7) Failed to connect to apt.llvm.org port 443 after 152 ms: Could not connect to server (Lint run 42806894257 on master), although the fetch carried --retry 3.
The cause is in curl itself (curl 8.23.0, src/tool_operate.c lines 441-510): --retry alone never retries exit 7, and --retry-connrefused retries it only when the socket error is ECONNREFUSED, so an unreachable network or host still ends the job. --retry-all-errors covers every exit-7 cause; 14 curl fetches on master already used it.
This pull request applies one rule to every curl and wget HTTP(S) fetch in workflows, container recipes and shell scripts:
curl:--retry N --retry-all-errors, next to the site's existing --retry. The one master curl fetch with --retry-connrefused (scripts/ai/fetch-tiny-blobs.sh) moves to --retry-all-errors, which covers it.
wget:--tries=N --retry-connrefused --retry-on-host-error, so refused, unreachable and name-resolution failures are retried.
APT in scripts/dev/tidy-lane.sh:-o Acquire::Retries=3, the setting lint-and-format.yml already uses.
Per-fetch time bounds are unchanged: every --max-time, --connect-timeout and --retry-max-time stays byte-identical to master, so the timeout retries master has today stay.
Retried downloads write to a file first. curl clears a partial body before a retry only in its own output file; into a pipe, a command capture or a shell > redirection, a retry can append a second partial body, so gpg or tar could read corrupt input after a successful retry. The Intel key fetches (four workflows, Dockerfile, Containerfile.vmafx, dev/Containerfile, scripts/setup/ubuntu.sh), the gitleaks archive in security-scans.yml and the ROCm token and manifest fetches now save to a temporary file, and the consumer runs only after the download succeeds. The ROCm layer stream in scripts/ci/install-rocm-from-image.sh keeps a single curl attempt inside its existing whole-pipeline retry loop (LAYER_ATTEMPTS).
Guard:scripts/ci/tests/test_fetch_connect_retry.py reads every tracked fetch site and fails on a curl or wget call without these flags, or on a retried download whose body goes to stdout. It parses curl and wget options against allow-lists taken from curl 8.23.0 src/tool_getparam.c and GNU Wget 1.25.0, so a flag used as another option's value does not count, --url values are checked, and an unknown option fails. It runs as the test-fetch-connect-retry pre-commit hook and in the required Tooling Tests check (suite_registry.py list tooling lists it). Its ALLOWLIST names nine fetches by exact path and parsed URL, each with its reason (a bounded outer poll, a fail-fast probe, or the ROCm layer stream), and an entry whose site is gone fails the test.
Not covered:git clone and APT calls outside the tidy lane. Issue #3392 tracks them, and two tests whose docstrings start Known gap (#3392): pin that limit.
The rule and its reasons are in docs/development/ci.md, section "Connection retries on downloads".
Every commit is signed off (git commit -s; fix a branch with git rebase --signoff origin/master). See DCO sign-off.
make format && make lint is green locally. Touched files: pre-commit run --files on the 31 touched files gave 116 passed, 36 skipped (no matching files) and 1 failed, black reformatting the new test; the reformat is in the commit, and the commit hooks then passed. shellcheck 0.11.0 and actionlint 1.7.12 report no finding that master does not already have. The pre-push gate on head ca8a7cdd4 then passed every hook (124 passed, 0 failed, 35 skipped with no matching files), mypy included.
Unit tests pass: python3 scripts/ci/run_meson_test.py -- -C build. The Meson suite does not cover scripts/ci/; the contract test below covers this change.
If I touched any SIMD/GPU code path, I ran /cross-backend-diff and the worst ULP is ≤ 2. No SIMD or GPU path touched.
If I touched a feature extractor with SIMD/GPU twins, I either updated every twin or listed the gap under "Known follow-ups" below. No feature extractor touched.
If I added a new .c / .cpp / .cu / .h / .hpp, it has the appropriate license header (see CONTRIBUTING.md). No C or C++ file added.
If this is a breaking change, the commit message uses ! or BREAKING CHANGE: and the migration path is documented below. Not a breaking change: only download flags change.
If this PR adds an ADR, the ADR row lives in docs/adr/_index_fragments/<NNNN-slug>.md and nothing else is touched for the index: do not edit docs/adr/README.md, docs/adr/by-tag/, docs/adr/titles.md or _order.txt (rendered when pull requests land by make docs-render; see ADR-2197; the render-only pull request of ADR-3295 is the one exception). No ADR added: the rule follows the existing curl convention.
docs/state.md updated in this PR with a row in the appropriate section, OR the opt-out line. no state delta: CI download retries; no tracked bug is opened, closed or ruled out.
I did not modify any assertAlmostEqual(...) score in the Netflix golden Python tests, except by porting Netflix's own updated assertion verbatim from upstream (value and places as upstream has them, measured against the fork's CPU build first; ADR-1828).
If I believe a golden value must change, I have explained why below AND pinged the code owner for a CODEOWNERS exception. No golden value changes.
Research digest — no digest needed: the curl and wget source behaviour the rule rests on is summarised in docs/development/ci.md.
Decision matrix — no alternatives worth a matrix: one rule, taken from the existing curl convention on master.
AGENTS.md invariant note — scripts/ci/AGENTS.d/fetch-connect-retry.md, listed in the regenerated scripts/ci/AGENTS-gates.md (scripts/docs/agents_index.py --check exits 0).
Reproducer / smoke-test command — pasted below under "Reproducer".
CHANGELOG fragment — changelog.d/fixed/fetch-connect-retry.md.
Rebase note — docs/rebase-notes.d/fetch-connect-retry.md. Dockerfile comes from Netflix/vmaf, but its touched fetch lines already differ from upstream (the Intel oneAPI key and the fork's quoted archive fetches); a sync conflict there keeps the fork lines, their retry flags and the file-first key download. Every other touched file is fork-only.
Tests: 28 tests and 65 subtests, exit 0. They cover the tracked-site sweep, each missing flag on curl and wget (--retry-connrefused alone fails on curl), a zero --tries, option values that look like flags, --url in both forms, comments and URL fragments, bodies on stdout versus a file or /dev/null, the tidy-lane APT retry count, the allow-list staleness rule, the two known gaps, and a line with an unbalanced quote, which the tokenizer splits on whitespace instead of skipping.
Planted defects: four flag mutations, each on a working copy and restored afterwards, each made the test exit 1 and name the file: --retry-all-errors removed from the LLVM key fetch in scripts/dev/tidy-lane.sh; the same flag replaced by --retry-connrefused; --retry-on-host-error removed from the Intel key fetch in Dockerfile; --tries=3 set to --tries=0 in .github/workflows/build.yml.
Seven more on the file-first and parser changes, measured on 575998cb8 the same way, each made the test exit 1: comment stripping disabled; value options treated as flags (9 tests fail); the stdout body check disabled; --url values dropped; the tidy-lane APT check disabled; the ROCm exemption deleted; and the old gitleaks curl | tar pipe put back in security-scans.yml. After each restore the test exits 0.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Reliability
Downloads across build, setup, and release workflows now retry a broader range of connection and transfer failures. Package installation steps also retry, and signing-key downloads are saved to temporary files before processing.
Tests
Added an automated check for download and package-install retry settings, including documented exceptions.
Documentation
Documented retry requirements and the automated check.
The cuda tidy lane failed on 2026-11-10 when curl could not connect to
apt.llvm.org (exit 7, "Could not connect to server") and gave up on
the first attempt. curl's --retry alone does not retry exit 7, and
--retry-connrefused retries it only when the socket error is
ECONNREFUSED, so an unreachable host still ended the job.
Every curl fetch in workflows, container recipes and shell scripts now
carries --retry N with --retry-all-errors, the convention most curl
sites already used. wget fetches carry --tries=N, --retry-connrefused
and --retry-on-host-error, so refused, unreachable and name-resolution
failures are retried. The tidy lane's APT calls retry with
Acquire::Retries=3. Per-fetch time bounds are unchanged.
scripts/ci/tests/test_fetch_connect_retry.py reads every tracked fetch
site and fails on a curl or wget call without these flags. Its
allow-list names eight fetches that already sit inside a bounded outer
poll or must fail fast, each with its reason. A pre-commit hook runs
the test on every commit.

Fetch commands across workflows, container recipes, and scripts gain retry options for connection and other errors. A new test audits tracked sources for retry settings and response-body handling, and a pre-commit hook runs it. CI documentation and the changelog describe the retry requirements.
Changes: Fetch retry coverage
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Retry audit and contract scripts/ci/tests/test_fetch_connect_retry.py, .pre-commit-config.yaml
A unittest audits tracked fetch commands and tidy-lane APT settings. It checks retry options, response-body handling, and exact exemptions. A pre-commit hook runs the test.
Workflow and container fetch retries .github/workflows/*, Containerfile.vmafx, Dockerfile*, dev/Containerfile*, docker/Dockerfile.tester
Workflow and container fetch commands add or extend curl or wget retries. Several oneAPI key flows and the Gitleaks download save responses to temporary files before processing them.
Script and package-manager fetch retries scripts/ai/*, scripts/ci/*, scripts/dev/tidy-lane.sh, scripts/release/*, scripts/setup/*
Scripts add or extend curl, wget, and tidy-lane APT retries. Existing retry limits, timeouts, and failure handling remain unchanged where noted.
The installer stages authentication and manifest responses before parsing or emitting them. Comments describe whole-pipeline retries and the risk of duplicate partial response data from inner retries.
Documentation describes retry options, response-body handling, APT scope, exemptions, and the audit. The changelog and rebase notes summarize the changes.
The retry changes are low risk. Before merging, require at least two wget tries in the docs and the audit, and add the tidy-lane script to the policy page's governed paths.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to ca8a7
The inspected changes preserve existing download authorities and integrity checks while improving handling of partial responses. No introduced security concern was established. Risk remains low rather than minimal because coverage of the broader build infrastructure is incomplete.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The security-relevant exposure is build-supply-chain authority: fetched keys establish package trust, and downloaded archives become installed build tools. A compromised accepted upstream response could affect builds and their outputs, but the inspected changes preserve those existing trust destinations rather than expanding authority.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The new hook executes the checker from the checked-out repository. The inspected pre-commit workflow uses pull_request execution, read-only contents permission, and checkout without persisted credentials. This is policy-test execution, not an independently trusted defense against an author modifying the checker itself.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — ROCm registers staging cleanup before authentication. Layer downloads retain whole-pipeline retries without inner curl retries, explicitly inspect download and decompression status, and apply layers sequentially before destination replacement. This preserves failure containment without appending retried bodies to a live extraction stream.

Pull Request Overview
⚠️Resolve issues before merging
The security workflow streams a retryable curl response directly into tar, which can produce a corrupted archive when curl retries after partial output. This should be corrected before merging.
The static contract-test coverage is broad, but actual runtime retry behavior against failed endpoints is not exercised.
Test suggestions
Accept compliant curl and wget retry options.
Reject missing, disabled, zero, or malformed curl and wget retry settings.
Audit all tracked shell, workflow, and container fetch sites.
Validate exact allowlist matching and reject stale or duplicate entries.
Handle shell, PowerShell, cmd, and container line continuations.
Verify APT retry configuration in the tidy lane.
Exercise actual network retry behavior against refused or unreachable endpoints.

**Retried downloads corrupt piped data**
When a response starts arriving before a transfer error triggers curl's retry, `curl` retries into the same stdout stream without removing the partial response, so `tar` or `gpg` receives corrupted data and the download step or image build fails.
Download to a temporary file and process it only after curl completes successfully.

**Git clones remain unprotected**
When a transient connection failure occurs during one of these external clones, `FETCH` recognizes only curl and wget, so external `git clone` downloads are absent from the retry audit and still fail on transient connection errors; for example, the SYCL build clones Level Zero directly without a retry wrapper.
Cover these clone sites with bounded retry handling and extend the contract test to detect them, or narrow the stated policy to fetches performed by curl and wget.

<issue_to_address>
**Valid curl URLs escape retry checks**
When a tracked curl fetch uses `--url=URL`, `fetch_commands` only recognizes URL tokens beginning with `http://`, `https://`, `$` or `%`, so it omits the command and `retry_errors` never checks its flags; the contract test passes without retries.
Recognize curl's `--url=URL` syntax when identifying fetch commands.

**APT retry regressions escape audit**
When a tidy-lane APT call loses or weakens `Acquire::Retries=3`, `FETCH` only inventories curl and wget commands, so `audit_sources` does not check the APT retry option and the contract test passes; transient package-download failures then end the lane.
Include APT commands in the audit and check their retry option.

**Retry flag accepted as filename**
When a tracked curl fetch uses `--retry-all-errors` as the value of a preceding option such as `--output`, `enabled()` checks only whether `--retry-all-errors` appears in the argument list, so a call like `curl --output --retry-all-errors --retry 3 https://example.invalid/x` is marked compliant even though curl consumes that token as the output filename and does not enable the retry behavior.
Parse curl arguments with option-value consumption in mind, or otherwise verify the retry option is active rather than merely present.

**Retry invariant lacks guidance page**
When this change introduces the tracked-fetch retry contract, the new retry rule is enforced in `scripts/ci`, but no corresponding page is added under `scripts/ci/AGENTS.d/`; the package’s required agent guidance remains incomplete.

**Scanner gaps lack fixtures**
When the new test claims to audit every tracked fetch site, the tests cover compliant and rejected fetches and audit the current inventory, but do not replay any known scanner gap; the claimed exhaustive audit can pass without demonstrating how it handles fetch forms its parser misses.
Add a known-gap fixture that exercises and documents a fetch form the scanner does not recognize, or extend the scanner to recognize it and test that behavior.

Reviewers found that a retried curl writing into a pipe can append a
second partial body, so gpg or tar can read corrupt input even after
the retry succeeds. curl clears partial data only from its own output
file. Every retried download now writes to a temporary file, and its
consumer runs only after the download succeeds. The ROCm layer stream
keeps a single curl attempt inside the existing whole-pipeline retry
loop (LAYER_ATTEMPTS) and is listed as an exact exemption.
The contract test now parses curl and wget options from allow-lists
taken from curl 8.23.0 src/tool_getparam.c and GNU Wget 1.25.0. A
flag used as the value of another option no longer counts, --url
values are inventoried, comments are stripped only where a word
starts, and tidy-lane APT calls need a positive literal retry count.
git clone and APT outside the tidy lane stay uncovered; issue 3392
tracks them and two known-gap fixtures pin that limit.
A scripts/ci/AGENTS.d page records the invariant, and the generated
gates index includes it.

Review comments at @docs/development/ci.md:
- Around line 1167-1168: Update the Wget retry requirement in both documentation
pages and the validation in test_fetch_connect_retry.py so N must be at least 2,
rejecting --tries=1 while preserving the existing retry-option requirements.
Review comments at @scripts/ci/AGENTS.d/fetch-connect-retry.md:
- Around line 2-5: Add scripts/dev/tidy-lane.sh to the paths list in the retry
policy so that the policy governs the script, and regenerate the index to
reflect the updated routing.

Summary
A refused or unreachable connection no longer ends a CI download on its first attempt. On 2026-11-10 the
Tidy Lane (cuda)job failed fetching the apt.llvm.org signing key withcurl: (7) Failed to connect to apt.llvm.org port 443 after 152 ms: Could not connect to server(Lint run 42806894257 on master), although the fetch carried--retry 3.The cause is in curl itself (curl 8.23.0,
src/tool_operate.clines 441-510):--retryalone never retries exit 7, and--retry-connrefusedretries it only when the socket error is ECONNREFUSED, so an unreachable network or host still ends the job.--retry-all-errorscovers every exit-7 cause; 14 curl fetches on master already used it.This pull request applies one rule to every curl and wget HTTP(S) fetch in workflows, container recipes and shell scripts:
--retry N --retry-all-errors, next to the site's existing--retry. The one master curl fetch with--retry-connrefused(scripts/ai/fetch-tiny-blobs.sh) moves to--retry-all-errors, which covers it.--tries=N --retry-connrefused --retry-on-host-error, so refused, unreachable and name-resolution failures are retried.scripts/dev/tidy-lane.sh:-o Acquire::Retries=3, the settinglint-and-format.ymlalready uses.Per-fetch time bounds are unchanged: every
--max-time,--connect-timeoutand--retry-max-timestays byte-identical to master, so the timeout retries master has today stay.Retried downloads write to a file first. curl clears a partial body before a retry only in its own output file; into a pipe, a command capture or a shell
>redirection, a retry can append a second partial body, sogpgortarcould read corrupt input after a successful retry. The Intel key fetches (four workflows,Dockerfile,Containerfile.vmafx,dev/Containerfile,scripts/setup/ubuntu.sh), the gitleaks archive insecurity-scans.ymland the ROCm token and manifest fetches now save to a temporary file, and the consumer runs only after the download succeeds. The ROCm layer stream inscripts/ci/install-rocm-from-image.shkeeps a single curl attempt inside its existing whole-pipeline retry loop (LAYER_ATTEMPTS).Guard:
scripts/ci/tests/test_fetch_connect_retry.pyreads every tracked fetch site and fails on a curl or wget call without these flags, or on a retried download whose body goes to stdout. It parses curl and wget options against allow-lists taken from curl 8.23.0src/tool_getparam.cand GNU Wget 1.25.0, so a flag used as another option's value does not count,--urlvalues are checked, and an unknown option fails. It runs as thetest-fetch-connect-retrypre-commit hook and in the requiredTooling Testscheck (suite_registry.py list toolinglists it). ItsALLOWLISTnames nine fetches by exact path and parsed URL, each with its reason (a bounded outer poll, a fail-fast probe, or the ROCm layer stream), and an entry whose site is gone fails the test.Not covered:
git cloneand APT calls outside the tidy lane. Issue #3392 tracks them, and two tests whose docstrings startKnown gap (#3392):pin that limit.The rule and its reasons are in
docs/development/ci.md, section "Connection retries on downloads".Type
