The Smoke Chroot workflow fails when setup-iptables.sh calls head, which resolves to the host's binary (GLIBC 2.38) before chroot enters, but the container only has GLIBC 2.35.

Changes

  • Replace head -n 1 with awk's built-in NR==1 line filtering in containers/agent/setup-iptables.sh

Context

When --enable-chroot is enabled, host binaries are mounted at /host/* before setup-iptables.sh runs (line 115 of entrypoint.sh). Without absolute paths, commands can resolve to incompatible host binaries.

# Before: depends on external head binary
SQUID_IP=$(getent hosts "$SQUID_HOST" | awk '{ print $1 }' | head -n 1)

# After: self-contained in awk
SQUID_IP=$(getent hosts "$SQUID_HOST" | awk 'NR==1 { print $1 }')

This eliminates the GLIBC dependency chain and makes the script more portable across host/container boundary scenarios.

Replace `head -n 1` with awk's NR==1 to avoid GLIBC version mismatch
when running in chroot mode. In chroot mode, host binaries are mounted
at /host/*, and setup-iptables.sh runs before the chroot happens.
The host's head binary may require a newer GLIBC than available in
the container (Ubuntu 22.04 has GLIBC 2.35, GitHub Actions runners
have GLIBC 2.38+).

This fixes the error:
  head: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.38' not found

❌ Chroot Smoke Test Failed

The --enable-chroot feature is not providing transparent access to host binaries. Version comparison shows mismatches:

Runtime Host Version Chroot Version Match?
Python Python 3.12.3 Python 3.13.11 ❌ MISMATCH
Node v20.20.0 v24.13.0 ❌ MISMATCH
Go go1.24.12 go1.24.12 ✅ MATCH

Analysis

Expected behavior: When --enable-chroot is enabled, the agent container should access the host's binaries (Python 3.12.3, Node v20.20.0) via chroot mounts.

Actual behavior: The agent container is using its own installed binaries (Python 3.13.11, Node v24.13.0), not the host's.

Possible Causes

  1. Chroot not enabled: The workflow may not be running with --enable-chroot flag
  2. PATH precedence: Container binaries may be taking precedence over chroot-mounted host binaries
  3. Mount configuration: The chroot mounts may not be configured correctly in the agent container

Next Steps

This test failure needs investigation to determine why the chroot feature is not working as expected. The feature should provide transparent host binary access to avoid version mismatches between host and container environments.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a binary compatibility issue in chroot mode by eliminating the dependency on the head command in setup-iptables.sh. When --enable-chroot is enabled and host binaries with different GLIBC versions are mounted at /host/*, external commands like head can fail. The fix consolidates line filtering into awk, reducing external dependencies.

Changes:

  • Replaced | awk '{ print $1 }' | head -n 1 with awk 'NR==1 { print $1 }' to eliminate the head binary dependency in chroot mode

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

# Resolve Squid hostname to IP
SQUID_IP=$(getent hosts "$SQUID_HOST" | awk '{ print $1 }' | head -n 1)
# Use awk's NR to get first line to avoid host binary dependency in chroot mode
SQUID_IP=$(getent hosts "$SQUID_HOST" | awk 'NR==1 { print $1 }')

The awk command should include an exit statement after printing the first line to match the behavior of head -n 1 and avoid unnecessarily processing remaining input. Change awk 'NR==1 { print $1 }' to awk 'NR==1 { print $1; exit }'. While this is a minor efficiency issue since getent hosts typically returns few lines, it's a best practice and makes the intent clearer.

Suggested change
SQUID_IP=$(getent hosts "$SQUID_HOST" | awk 'NR==1 { print $1 }')
SQUID_IP=$(getent hosts "$SQUID_HOST" | awk 'NR==1 { print $1; exit }')
