#1 Job sandbox lacks /dev/fd and /dev/std* symlinks (breaks bash process substitution)

Bash process substitution fails inside job sandboxes because /dev/fd does not exist.

Observed in zut CI run 65 (test (ubuntu-latest), step 'release-version policy'):

next-release-tag.sh: line 42: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory

The script uses done < <(git rev-list "$range"). The same script passes on GitHub-hosted runners.

Cause: internal/guest/vmsetup.go mounts devtmpfs, devpts and /dev/shm, but never creates the standard /dev symlinks. On GitHub's image systemd/udev creates them; devtmpfs alone does not.

Fix: after the /dev mounts in the guest init, create (ignore EEXIST):

  • /dev/fd -> /proc/self/fd
  • /dev/stdin -> /proc/self/fd/0
  • /dev/stdout -> /proc/self/fd/1
  • /dev/stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2
  • /dev/core -> /proc/kcore (optional, systemd does it)

Acceptance: a job step running bash -c 'cat <(echo ok)' and echo ok > /dev/stderr succeeds. Add a conformance case if ermite-conformance covers the job environment.

Keyboard shortcuts

Single-key shortcuts are on. ctrl k and esc work whatever this says.

ctrl k :
go to a section, branch, tag, file or repository
?
this list
j k
move the row cursor down / up
enter
open the row under the cursor; on Files, a directory opens or closes in place
↑ ↓ ← → home end
in the file tree (focus on a row): previous / next row, close / open a directory or go to its parent / first entry, first / last row. They never open a file
l h
on Files: open a directory or a file / close a directory or go up to its parent, then to the parent page. Elsewhere: into the side panel (on a merge request, its files) / back to the content; there j k move between its controls
g g G
first / last row
/
filter the list; on Files, find a file anywhere in the repository (esc clears, enter opens the best match)
b
switch branch or tag
g s g f g c g b g m g i g r g a
tabs: summary, files, commits, branches & tags, merge requests, issues, releases, actions (when available)
g h
home
w
wide mode: use the whole width of the screen, or not (remembered)
y
copy a permalink pinned to the commit
d u x
diff: split / unified / collapse or expand all
e E
diff: the whole file in view / every file, with the lines the hunks hide
n
merge request: next note in the diff
esc
close a dialog, leave a field
