Nothing outside the ix-* workflow files.

#4537 withheld the R2 credentials from the ix lane because the seed disk was expected to carry target/.

Seed restore is currently refused with snapshot has no captured block-volume root, so cold jobs rebuild the workspace and can overrun the 40-minute MSRV ceiling.

What changes

ix-ci.yml passes the existing BAML_SCCACHE_R2_* secrets to cargo tests and the size gate. This matches ci.yaml, where the Blacksmith gating lane passes the same repository secrets to the same checked-out code with secrets: inherit

GitHub withholds repository secrets from fork and Dependabot pull requests.

Those runs remain secretless and use the machine-local sccache. .envrc switches to R2 only when both values are present.

The ix preview passed no secrets to its Rust jobs. The bet was that the
seed disk would carry target/, but the platform refuses to restore those
seeds ("snapshot has no captured block-volume root; not warm-restorable"),
so every ix machine boots cold and compiles the workspace from scratch:
1187 of 1216 units dirty, 0.25% sccache hits, 1218s for a build step the
hosted lane finishes in 90s at 99.9% hits. The cold builds then overrun
the 40 minute msrv ceiling and starve the timing-sensitive tests.

Pass BAML_SCCACHE_R2_* through to the cargo-tests and size-gate calls.
Both reusable workflows already declare the secrets and .envrc already
switches to R2 when they are set, so nothing else changes. PR code runs
on these machines; swap the secret names for a read-only R2 token once
one exists.

Pin NEXTEST_TEST_THREADS and RUST_TEST_THREADS to 16 across the workflow.
An ix guest reports 100 CPUs, so nextest ran 100 test threads per job
across 22 concurrent machines; bex_engine's cancellation tests assert
sub-2s wall clock and the snapshot suite's loopback mock servers timed
out under that load. The SDK matrix keeps its own 32.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The ix CI reusable jobs now forward R2 sccache credentials directly. GitHub repository-secret restrictions determine credential availability for repository, fork, and Dependabot pull requests.

Changes

ix CI workflow execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared R2 sccache access
.github/workflows/ix-ci.yml
The cargo-tests and size-gate jobs directly receive both R2 sccache credentials. Event-based empty-secret conditions were removed, and the workflow documents repository-secret restrictions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15–30 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to cd786

This PR enables shared R2 caching for eligible CI runs while preserving local caching for fork and Dependabot runs; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with cache in my ear,
R2 credentials now travel clear.
Tests and gates share the stream,
Secrets follow GitHub’s scheme.
Hop, hop—CI runs the dream!

write-capable R2 credentials. Restrict the existing
BAML_SCCACHE_R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID and BAML_SCCACHE_R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY secrets to
trusted canary or dispatch runs, or provide a dedicated read-only credential for
