Since 2026-06-29 the nightly Linux legs hang forever while bundling the
AppImage and hit the job-level timeout, which reports the legs as
'cancelled'. The assemble-manifest guard treats 'cancelled' as run
cancellation and skips promoting nightly/latest.json, so nightly update
detection has been broken for ALL platforms since then (#4906).
Root cause: the truly-portable AppImage bundler in the tauri fork
downloads quick-sharun.sh from the unpinned main branch of
pkgforge-dev/Anylinux-AppImages. Upstream strace-mode changes on
2026-06-29 (acb1d719, 867c0b15) made the script execute the staged app
launcher scripts and WebKitGTK binaries under Xvfb to trace dlopened
libraries; the spawned WebKit processes survive the process-group kill
and quick-sharun waits forever.
Fixes:
- Pre-seed the tauri tools cache with quick-sharun.sh pinned to the
last known-good revision (b3a9e985, used by the green 06-27/06-28
nightlies) in both nightly.yml and release.yml. The bundler only
downloads the moving main-branch script when the file is absent.
- Add step-level timeout-minutes to the nightly build steps and raise
the job timeout to a 75-minute backstop, so a future hang fails only
that leg ('failure') instead of tripping the job timeout
('cancelled'), and assemble-manifest still promotes the manifest
fragments from the healthy legs.
