+# Agent Note: Provision CI pnpm via pnpm/action-setup
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-26-pnpm-action-setup-for-symmetric-ci-caching.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Outside `landlock-run.yml`, each workflow that installed pnpm hand-provisioned it with `corepack enable`, and five of them further repeated a hand-rolled cache setup — `pnpm store path --silent >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT`, then `actions/cache@v4` keyed on `pnpm-lock.yaml`: `e2e.yml`, `docs-pages.yml`, `pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`, `build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`, and the node-compat, serial-linux, and benchmark jobs of `ci.yml`. The maintained equivalent — `pnpm/action-setup@v4` (reads `packageManager` from package.json) plus `actions/setup-node` with `cache: pnpm` — was already proven in-repo in `landlock-run.yml`, and corepack's removal from newer Node distributions made every `corepack enable` a known future break.
+
+## Decision
+
+`pnpm/action-setup@v4` is the only pnpm provisioning mechanism in CI: no workflow runs `corepack enable`. The root dev dependency on `@yarnpkg/cli-dist` separately supplies the modern Yarn CLI exercised by the generated-project e2e; package-manager coverage therefore does not inherit the runner image's Yarn Classic. Caching remains per-job policy on top of pnpm provisioning, in three deliberate shapes:
+
+- **Symmetric cache** (restore and save): `actions/setup-node` with `cache: pnpm` — `e2e.yml`, `docs-pages.yml`, `pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`, `build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`, and the node-compat and two benchmark jobs of `ci.yml`. The larger-runner benchmark keeps its store cache Linux-only through a conditional `cache:` input; the consolidated benchmark caches on both platforms.
+- **Restore-only / producer pairing** (hand-rolled `actions/cache` steps): the three enterprise-runner PR jobs and the Wine-based pull-request Windows job restore without saving, keeping cache compression/upload off their latency-sensitive paths — an asymmetry `setup-node`'s cache cannot express. Each configures a store outside the action's replaceable install directory and resolves that path, matching the master-push serial-linux producer's path and exact key; the enterprise jobs skip restore during self-hosted failover because that VM's persistent store is already warm.
+- **Cache-less or persistent** (no store-cache action): native serial-windows and serial-macos plus `sandbox.yml` install from a cold or runner-local store. The self-hosted standby and failover jobs reuse their VM's persistent pnpm store without transferring a hosted cache archive.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Keep the hand-rolled steps.** They worked, but they were drifting copies of setup boilerplate, and the corepack dependency was a known future break.
+- **Convert the enterprise jobs' caching to `cache: pnpm`.** Rejected: the restore-only asymmetry is a documented latency decision in `ci.yml`'s comments; erasing it to unify tooling inverts the priority.
+- **Convert serial-linux's store cache.** Rejected during implementation: the original proposal counted serial-linux among the symmetric setups, but its cache step is the producer half of the enterprise jobs' restore-only pairing — moving it to `setup-node`'s key format is the enterprise conversion by another route.
+- **Stop at the cache-bearing workflows and leave the other `corepack enable` sites.** Rejected on review follow-up: provisioning and caching are separable concerns, and leaving corepack in the cache-less jobs kept the future break and two provisioning idioms for no benefit.
+- **Rely on the runner image's Yarn.** Rejected: the hosted image exposes Yarn 1.22 after Corepack is removed, while the generated-project e2e requires Yarn 2 or newer. A locked root dev dependency makes that coverage independent of runner image contents.
+- **A composite action wrapping action-setup + setup-node.** Rejected for now: the remaining per-job variation (node-version matrices, per-platform conditional caching, the restore-only pairing) is deliberate policy, not boilerplate — a wrapper would grow mirroring inputs or flatten a real asymmetry, and the two-line pair is already near the floor.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The corepack dependency is gone from CI entirely; pnpm arrives via the pnpm team's official action everywhere, and the version pin stays single-sourced in `package.json`'s `packageManager` field.
+- The generated-project e2e runs the root-pinned Yarn 4 CLI instead of inheriting or silently skipping the runner image's Yarn version.
+- The cache-key format changed once for converted lanes; one cold run repopulated it, after which hit rates match the old steps. The built-in key spans platform, arch, and the lockfile hash but not the Node version, so the node-compat matrix legs share one store entry — safe, because the pnpm store is Node-version-independent.
+- `setup-node`'s built-in pnpm cache restores by exact key only, with no `restore-keys` prefix fallback: a `pnpm-lock.yaml` change starts a converted lane from a cold store instead of seeding from the previous entry.
+- `pnpm/action-setup` deletes its install directory on every run and places the default store beneath the resulting `PNPM_HOME`. Linux jobs that need cache pairing or self-hosted persistence therefore set `PNPM_CONFIG_STORE_DIR` to `$HOME/.local/share/pnpm/store`, outside the action directory; the restore-only jobs and serial-linux resolve and share that stable path and exact key.

+# Agent Note: 经由 pnpm/action-setup 提供 CI 的 pnpm

+
+## 问题
+
+除 `landlock-run.yml` 外，每个安装 pnpm 的工作流都曾用 `corepack enable` 手工提供 pnpm，其中五个还各自重复着一套手写（hand-rolled）的缓存设置——`pnpm store path --silent >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT`、再加以 `pnpm-lock.yaml` 为缓存键的 `actions/cache@v4`：`e2e.yml`、`docs-pages.yml`、`pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`、`build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`，以及 `ci.yml` 的 node-compat、serial-linux 与 benchmark 作业。与之等价、由官方维护的做法——`pnpm/action-setup@v4`（从 package.json 读取 `packageManager`）加带 `cache: pnpm` 的 `actions/setup-node`——当时已在仓库内的 `landlock-run.yml` 中得到验证，而 corepack 被从较新 Node 发行版中移除，使每一处 `corepack enable` 都成了已知的未来失效点。
+
+## 决策
+
+`pnpm/action-setup@v4` 是 CI 中提供 pnpm 的唯一机制：没有任何工作流运行 `corepack enable`。根目录的 `@yarnpkg/cli-dist` 开发依赖另行提供 generated-project e2e 所运行的现代 Yarn CLI（命令行界面）；因此，用于包管理器覆盖率的 Yarn 不会沿用 runner 镜像里的 Yarn Classic。缓存仍是叠加在 pnpm 提供机制上的按作业政策，保持三种刻意的形态：
+
+- **对称缓存**（既恢复也保存）：带 `cache: pnpm` 的 `actions/setup-node`——`e2e.yml`、`docs-pages.yml`、`pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`、`build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`，以及 `ci.yml` 的 node-compat 与两个 benchmark 作业。larger-runner benchmark 通过条件化的 `cache:` 输入让 store 缓存仅限 Linux；consolidated benchmark 在两个平台上都启用缓存。
+- **只恢复不上传／生产者配对**（手写的 `actions/cache` 步骤）：企业 runner 上的三个 PR（Pull Request）作业与基于 Wine 的拉取请求 Windows 作业只恢复不保存，把缓存压缩／上传挡在它们的延迟敏感路径之外——这种不对称是 `setup-node` 的缓存无法表达的。每个作业都在 action 可替换的安装目录之外配置 store，并解析该路径，从而与 master 推送触发的 serial-linux 生产者所用的路径和精确键匹配；企业作业在自托管故障切换期间跳过恢复，因为该 VM 的持久 store 已能直接提供热安装。
+- **无缓存或持久化**（不使用 store 缓存 action）：原生 serial-windows 和 serial-macos 加上 `sandbox.yml` 从冷 store 或 runner 本地 store 安装。自托管热备与故障切换作业复用其 VM 的持久 pnpm store，不传输托管缓存归档。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+- **保留手写步骤。** 它们能用，但那是会各自漂移的设置样板副本，而且对 corepack 的依赖是已知的未来失效点。
+- **把企业作业的缓存也转换成 `cache: pnpm`。** 否决：只恢复不上传的不对称是 `ci.yml` 注释中有记录的延迟决策；为统一工具而抹掉它，属于颠倒优先级。
+- **转换 serial-linux 的 store 缓存。** 实现期间否决：原提案曾把 serial-linux 计入对称设置，但其缓存步骤是企业作业只恢复不上传配对中的生产者一半——把它改成 `setup-node` 的键格式，等于换条路径做了企业作业的转换。
+- **只转换带缓存的工作流，留下其余 `corepack enable` 站点。** 评审跟进时否决：提供 pnpm 与缓存是可分离的关注点，在无缓存作业里留下 corepack 只会保留未来失效点和两套并存的提供方式，毫无收益。
+- **依赖 runner 镜像自带的 Yarn。** 否决：Corepack 移除后，托管镜像提供的是 Yarn 1.22，而 generated-project e2e 要求 Yarn 2 或更高版本。锁定版本的根开发依赖让该项覆盖率不再受 runner 镜像内容影响。
+- **用一个组合 action 包装 action-setup + setup-node。** 暂不采纳：剩余的按作业差异（node 版本矩阵、按平台的条件缓存、只恢复不上传配对）是刻意的政策而非样板——包装层要么长出镜像这些差异的输入，要么抹平一处真实的不对称，而两行的组合已接近下限。
+
+## 后果
+
+- corepack 依赖已从 CI 中彻底消失；pnpm 在所有工作流中都经由 pnpm 团队的官方 action 提供，版本锁定继续单一来源于 `package.json` 的 `packageManager` 字段。
+- generated-project e2e 运行根目录锁定的 Yarn 4 CLI，既不再沿用 runner 镜像中的 Yarn 版本，也不会因此悄然跳过。
+- 已转换泳道的缓存键格式变更了一次；各跑一次冷运行重建缓存后，命中率与旧步骤持平。内建缓存键涵盖平台、架构与锁文件哈希，但不含 Node 版本，因此 node-compat 矩阵的各条腿共享同一条 store 缓存记录——这是安全的，因为 pnpm store 与 Node 版本无关。
+- `setup-node` 内建的 pnpm 缓存只按精确键恢复，没有 `restore-keys` 前缀回退：`pnpm-lock.yaml` 一旦变更，已转换泳道会从冷 store 起步，而不是从上一条缓存记录播种。
+- `pnpm/action-setup` 每次运行都会删除其安装目录，并把默认 store 放在由此产生的 `PNPM_HOME` 下。因此，需要缓存配对或自托管持久化的 Linux 作业会把 `PNPM_CONFIG_STORE_DIR` 设为 `$HOME/.local/share/pnpm/store`，置于 action 目录之外；只恢复不上传的作业与 serial-linux 会解析并共享这一稳定路径及精确键。

The local gate is a diagnosis tool, not a routine check: run it only when investigating a known Windows-related failure; CI owns the everyday win32 signal, and [dsh-pre-push-checks](../../../skills/dsh-pre-push-checks/SKILL.md) never selects it. The script never mutates the working tree: it snapshots tracked plus untracked-unignored files into a scratch directory, applies the Wine-specific pnpm overrides to the snapshot only, and installs there against the shared store; the Wine prefix and the checksum-verified Windows Node zip persist under `.cache/wine-windows/` so local reruns skip provisioning, with an offline fallback to the newest cached zip when nodejs.org is unreachable.

-## Problem
-
-Five workflows repeat a hand-rolled three-step pnpm setup — `corepack enable`, `pnpm store path --silent >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT`, then `actions/cache@v4` keyed on `pnpm-lock.yaml`: `e2e.yml`, `docs-pages.yml`, `pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`, `build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`, and the node-compat, serial-linux, and benchmark jobs of `ci.yml` (~40–60 YAML lines total). The maintained equivalent — `pnpm/action-setup@v4` (reads `packageManager` from package.json) plus `actions/setup-node` with `cache: pnpm` — is already proven in-repo in `landlock-run.yml`, and also insulates against corepack's removal from newer Node distributions.
-
-## Proposal
-
-Convert the symmetric-cache workflows to `pnpm/action-setup@v4` + `setup-node` `cache: pnpm`. Explicitly do NOT convert:
-
-- the three enterprise-runner PR jobs in `ci.yml` — they deliberately use `actions/cache/restore` only, keeping cache compression/upload off the paid latency-critical path, an asymmetry `setup-node`'s cache cannot express;
-- the Windows job, which deliberately skips the store cache.
-
-## Alternatives considered
-
-- **Keep the hand-rolled steps.** They work, but they are five drifting copies of setup boilerplate, and the corepack dependency is a known future break.
-- **Convert everything including the enterprise jobs.** Rejected: the restore-only asymmetry is a documented latency decision in `ci.yml`'s comments; erasing it to unify tooling inverts the priority.
-
-## Acceptance criteria
-
-- The five symmetric workflows set up pnpm via the actions; one cold run per lane repopulates the new cache-key format, after which cache hit rates match the old steps.
-- The enterprise-runner PR jobs and the Windows job are untouched.
-
-## Risks
-
-- Cache-key format changes once (one cold run per lane).
-- A third-party action in more workflows; it is already trusted in-repo (`landlock-run.yml`) and is the pnpm team's official action.

-## 问题
-
-五个工作流重复着同一套手写（hand-rolled）的三步 pnpm 设置——`corepack enable`、`pnpm store path --silent >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT`、再加以 `pnpm-lock.yaml` 为缓存键的 `actions/cache@v4`：`e2e.yml`、`docs-pages.yml`、`pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`、`build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`，以及 `ci.yml` 的 node-compat、serial-linux 与 benchmark 作业（合计约 40–60 行 YAML）。与之等价、由官方维护的做法——`pnpm/action-setup@v4`（从 package.json 读取 `packageManager`）加带 `cache: pnpm` 的 `actions/setup-node`——已在仓库内的 `landlock-run.yml` 中得到验证，同时还能隔绝 corepack 被从较新 Node 发行版中移除的影响。
-
-## 提案
-
-将各对称缓存工作流改为 `pnpm/action-setup@v4` + `setup-node` `cache: pnpm`。以下明确不做转换：
-
-- `ci.yml` 中运行在企业 runner 上的三个 PR（Pull Request）作业——它们刻意只用 `actions/cache/restore`，把缓存压缩/上传挡在付费且延迟敏感的关键路径之外，这种不对称是 `setup-node` 的缓存无法表达的；
-- Windows 作业，它刻意跳过 store 缓存。
-
-## 曾考虑的替代方案
-
-- **保留手写步骤。** 它们能用，但那是五份会各自漂移的设置样板副本，而且对 corepack 的依赖是已知的未来失效点。
-- **连企业作业在内全部转换。** 否决：只恢复不上传（restore-only）的不对称是 `ci.yml` 注释中有记录的延迟决策；为统一工具而抹掉它，属于颠倒优先级。
-
-## 验收标准
-
-- 五个对称工作流经由上述 action 完成 pnpm 设置；每条泳道各跑一次冷运行以重建新的缓存键格式，此后缓存命中率与旧步骤持平。
-- 企业 runner 上的 PR 作业与 Windows 作业保持原样不动。
-
-## 风险
-
-- 缓存键格式变更一次（每条泳道各一次冷运行）。
