feat: convert the sbt tool to a typescript installer

[viceice]

Changes

Converts sbt from a v2 shell script to a TypeScript installer. The download is now verified against its .sha256, which sbt publishes since v1.3.5; older releases are still downloaded without a checksum, as before. The macOS and Windows launchers are dropped, and the prepare step links ~/.sbt to the containerbase cache unless it already exists.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • SBT setup now supports installing versions that do not provide a checksum, while continuing to verify checksums for versions 1.3.5 and later.
  • Preparation preserves an existing .sbt path instead of replacing it with a cache link.
• Documentation
  • Added the SBT SHA-256 checksum URL to the documented release examples.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SBT tool now uses TypeScript base prepare and install services instead of V2 services and the legacy shell script. Tests cover preparation, installation, linking, version checks, and cleanup. Documentation includes the SBT release checksum URL.

Changes

SBT tool migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cache preparation and home link src/cli/tools/java/sbt.ts, src/cli/tools/java/sbt.spec.ts	SbtPrepareService creates the cached .sbt directory and creates a home symlink only when the path does not already exist. Tests check the cache mode and repeated preparation.
Release installation and executable link src/cli/tools/java/sbt.ts, src/cli/tools/java/sbt.spec.ts, src/usr/local/containerbase/tools/v2/sbt.sh, docs/custom-registries.md	SbtInstallService requests a checksum for versions >=1.3.5, extracts the release, removes non-Linux launchers, and links the bin directory. Tests cover releases with and without checksums and checksum failures. The legacy shell script is deleted, and the documentation sample includes the checksum URL.
Version test and cleanup src/cli/tools/java/sbt.ts, src/cli/tools/java/sbt.spec.ts	The test service runs sbt --version in a temporary directory and removes temporary and home SBT data. Tests cover cases with and without existing home SBT data.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a7b41

Testing an SBT installation can delete pre-existing hidden files, and preparation can fail when an old home link is dangling. Protect existing data and handle that link before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to a7b41

The migration preserves checksum verification for SBT releases that publish checksums and retains the existing installer orchestration. One low-risk state-ownership ambiguity remains: cleanup can act on the shared SBT cache when the configured home locations coincide.

Retained concerns

• Low · reliability · inferred: Preparation establishes ~/.sbt as a shared-cache symlink, but test cleanup enumerates and removes children beneath $HOME/.sbt. When HOME and USER_HOME resolve to the same location, the cleanup traverses the prepared link and can delete shared cache contents, leaving cache ownership and lifecycle dependent on environment configuration.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• observed — The security-relevant blast radius is limited to SBT release retrieval, the shared download cache, versioned tool installation paths, and the configured user-home SBT state; no infrastructure identity, secret authority, or deployment-topology change is evidenced.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The release archive crosses from the external release source into a local executable tool path. The modern-release path validates archive bytes against the retrieved SHA-256 value, while the legacy-version path remains unverified by design when no expected checksum exists.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The symlink-target cleanup ambiguity can reduce failure containment for the shared cache by allowing a test lifecycle to remove cache data under configurations where the service home and configured user home are identical.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Define and test the ownership invariant for SBT home cleanup: avoid traversing a cache-owned symlink during test cleanup, or explicitly restrict cleanup to a tool-test-owned location. Cover both equal and distinct HOME and USER_HOME configurations.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve installation of releases without a SHA-256 sidecar.

The sbt v1.0.0 release provides sbt-1.0.0.tgz but no sbt-1.0.0.tgz.sha256. getChecksum() therefore fails before the installer downloads an archive that the previous implementation could install. Provide a verified fallback for supported older releases, and add a test for one such release. Do not fall back to an unverified download. (github.com)

💡 Edge Case: pathExists follows symlinks, so a dangling ~/.sbt link still hits EEXIST

pathExists calls fs.stat, which follows symlinks. If ~/.sbt already exists as a symlink whose target is missing (for example, it points at an old or different cache dir), pathExists returns false. fs.symlink then throws EEXIST, which is the same crash this commit is meant to fix. Check the link itself with lstat, and treat an existing entry as already linked, or replace it when its target is wrong.

Check the link entry itself instead of its target:

const link = join(this.envSvc.userHome, '.sbt');
const existing = await fs.lstat(link).catch(() => null);
if (!existing) {
  await fs.symlink(join(this.pathSvc.cachePath, '.sbt'), link);
}

CI failed: 1 test failure in the test-success job due to an failing check or assertion, alongside 1 infrastructure timeout during docker build bake.

Overview

Analysis of 4 logs revealed two distinct failure patterns: a test-success job failure and a docker build timeout during tool preparation. A total of 2 unique failure templates were analyzed.

Failures

Test Success Job Failure (confidence: medium)

• Type: test
• Affected jobs: 108028061266, 108044931689
• Related to change: yes
• Root cause: The build / test-success job failed with exit code 1, indicating a test suite failure or status check failure related to the PR changes.
• Suggested fix: Run the test suite locally to identify and fix the failing test or assertion.

Docker Build Bake Timeout (confidence: high)

• Type: infrastructure
• Affected jobs: 108035430860
• Related to change: no
• Root cause: The docker build bake process timed out after hitting the 10-minute timeout limit during apt package installation and tool preparation.
• Suggested fix: Investigate potential network or proxy issues during apt package installation or increase the step timeout limit.

Summary

• Change-related failures: 1 test failure in the test-success job
• Infrastructure/flaky failures: 1 docker build timeout during bake
• Recommended action: Review the test suite results locally to resolve the test-success failure and check network connectivity/timeouts for the docker build job.

🟡 Medium risk · Installer migration changes checksum verification, launcher availability, and sbt cache linking.

Converts the sbt tool from a v2 shell script to a TypeScript installer with SHA-256 verification for releases v1.3.5 and later. Consider using lstat instead of pathExists to detect dangling symlinks at ~/.sbt, which would otherwise cause the same EEXIST crash this fix addresses.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve pre-existing hidden files during cleanup.

When HOME/.sbt is the existing directory preserved by prepare(), test() removes every entry returned by fs.readdir(), including hidden files. Restrict cleanup to data created by this test, or exclude hidden entries to preserve the previous behavior.
