ci / build and test (push) Failing after 1m38s
ci / api image (push) Skipped
ci / android head (push) Failing after 5s
Make a failing test run say what went wrong
Two suites fail on the runner and pass everywhere else, and every attempt to work out why
has been an inference from a filename. The runner prints the path of a log written to a
disk nobody has a shell on, and the log is where the exception type, the message and the
stack all live — so a red build has been a guess, and the last guess was wrong: 69 layout
failures looked like missing fonts and were a missing shared library instead.

This prints the log, and three facts about the machine that no log will ever carry: which
distribution it is and who the job runs as, whether docker answers, and — the one that
matters for the layout suite — ldd against the libSkiaSharp.so the test project carries,
filtered to its unresolved rows. A managed TypeInitializationException on SKImageInfo is a
symptom several missing libraries share; ldd names the library. The fontconfig step ahead
of this exits early when ldconfig already reports one, so if that is present and Skia still
will not load, the answer is a different dependency and this is what says which.

head rather than tail on the log, which is the whole trick. A suite that fails wholesale
writes one stack per test and they are the same stack; the first explains it and the last
two hundred lines are that sentence repeated.

if: failure() and exit 0, so it runs only on a red build and reports without becoming a
second failure on top of the first.

# act_runner runs every `uses:` action with node inside the job container, and this
# runner's image has none — the run died on the first line of actions/checkout with
# "Cannot find: node in PATH". A `run:` step is shell rather than node, so this one
# can go first and unblock the rest.
#
# This is a workaround and the real fix is one line of the runner's own config.yaml:
# point container.image at an image that ships node, the way Gitea's default
# catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest does. Kept anyway, because a pipeline that depends
# on a runner being configured correctly somewhere else fails confusingly when it is
# not, and because it costs nothing on a runner that is.
#
# git as well as node, and said in the step name rather than smuggled in: checkout
# shells out to git the moment node has loaded it, so an image thin enough to lack
# one usually lacks the other, and learning that costs a whole second CI round trip.
#
# Repeated verbatim in all three jobs, which is not laziness. It cannot be a local
# composite action — that would need the checkout it exists to unblock — and YAML
# anchors, which would deduplicate it, are rejected by GitHub's parser and would make
# this file portable to nothing. Change one copy, change all three.
