Summary

The dynamic build cache host fixture omits a helper that the maintained builder now includes in its input fingerprint. This stops Integration CI before VM scenarios can run.

Reproduction

At Integration commit 27ca5c035c569b11cf44260ca7c2fb587082e17e, run bash tests/dynamic-build-cache.sh with the fixture's declared Bash, Python and fingerprint version-query tools available. CI run 1569 and one isolated local run using the original selected fixture/helper blobs both fail with exit 1. No guest or compiler artifact build is needed.

Expected and actual behavior

Expected: the fixture owns every explicitly declared builder input and reaches its existing cache reuse, source-change, dependency-record and helper invalidation assertions.

Actual: build-input-fingerprint.py raises FileNotFoundError for scripts/dynlink_compiler_paths.py inside the fixture's generated Integration tree. The maintained dynamic_artifact_builder_input_paths includes the new helper, while the fixture creates a separate handwritten list of helper stubs that omits it. The failure occurs before the cache assertions and before VM validation.

Environment and identity

Repository/revision: Integration 27ca5c035c569b11cf44260ca7c2fb587082e17e.
CI: push run 1569/API 9043, integration job 19446, observed terminal failure; Rust and Markdown jobs succeeded. PR run 1570 was waiting when observed.
Image/VM/firmware: none; this is a host fixture using an original byte-producing fake builder.
Local confirmation: six exact original fixture/helper blobs, Bash/Python and explicit Rust 1.93.0 fingerprint version-query selection; no compilation. The test remains bounded to 90 seconds hard / 30 seconds without progress.
Last known working revision: not established by this report.

Evidence and prior checks

Integration CI run 1569 contains the preceding dynamic-boot policy success, the exact missing-helper traceback and exit 1. The earlier all-zero Git revision failure belongs to a passing negative source-helper test and is unrelated.

An isolated original-source replay preserves the same exit 1. A candidate fixture correction copies only inputs enumerated by the maintained builder gateway, preserving every existing cache assertion. It passes against the original 27ca gateway/helper cohort and the current cache gateway candidate. Bash syntax and whitespace checks pass. These local checks do not establish fixed-head CI or VM success; publication and CI confirmation are pending.

Published correction: signed Integration 381bccd87c5632e9d1af8aa9d0aca295cbc00e1f in WIP PR #12. The final 32 warning-denied cache tests and existing shell fixture pass; every original fixture assertion is preserved. CI syntax and all 113 Markdown files pass. Original failing replays remain retained. Current-head CI, complete dependency closure and fresh image/guest acceptance remain open.

The same missing-helper failure is also observed in CI run 1571 at the preceding 4bb694279e4a83aad95d14780434340beb4c649c head, before VM execution; Rust and Markdown jobs pass.
