feat(ci): opt-in PostgreSQL/ArangoDB for elixir-ci-reusable tests - #1190
Conversation
Ecto suites whose `mix test` alias runs `ecto.create` died before any test ran: the reusable started no database (bofig main: "The database for EvidenceGraph.Repo couldn't be created"). Adds two optional inputs, postgres-image and arangodb-image (default empty). When set, the database is started on the runner's loopback at its default port with auth off, and a readiness step fails by name if it never comes up. Started with `docker run` steps rather than a services: block so existing callers -- including tma-mark2 on a self-hosted runner -- run exactly the steps they ran before. Images reach the scripts through env, never interpolated. No new uses:, so actions.lock is unchanged (check-lock-sync.sh in sync; gh actions-lock --verify output identical to main).

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.github.com self-hosted runners reused between jobs cleanup Docker containers workflow runner state
💡 Result:
GitHub’s docs say **self-hosted runners are not automatically a clean machine for every job**—they can be reused, so don’t assume all runner state is reset between jobs. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/runners/self-hosted-runners?utm_source=openai))
For containerized jobs, GitHub’s container-customization docs specify that the `cleanup_job` hook is called at job end, and that its expected work includes stopping and deleting job/service containers and networks, plus cleaning up anything else created for that job. This describes the cleanup expected of the container customization implementation; it does **not** establish that all Docker resources or other host state are removed. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/manage-runners/self-hosted-runners/customize-containers?utm_source=openai))
For stronger isolation, GitHub recommends **ephemeral runners** for autoscaling: a runner processes one job, is automatically deregistered, and you can automate wiping it afterward. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/runners/self-hosted-runners?utm_source=openai))

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/run/ --name container name already in use unique name existing stopped container
💡 Result:
Docker requires container names to be unique, including names held by stopped containers. The `--name` option assigns a name; if that name is already taken, remove the old container or choose another name. The docs show how to list stopped containers with `docker ps -a`, restart one with `docker start`, or remove it with `docker rm`.

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.github.com/actions always() status check function steps continue after failure cancellation
💡 Result:
GitHub Actions’ `always()` makes a step’s condition true even after a failure **or cancellation**, so it can keep work running after you cancel a workflow. GitHub recommends `if: ${{ !cancelled() }}` when you want a step to run after success or failure but not after cancellation. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/expressions?ref=blog.mergify.com&utm_source=openai))
For a step that should run **only after a failure**, use `if: ${{ failure() }}`. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/expressions?ref=blog.mergify.com&utm_source=openai))

Remove the opt-in containers after each job.
When a caller opts in on a reused self-hosted runner, the detached containers can remain in Docker after the job. Docker reserves a container name even after its container stops, so a later run can fail at docker run --name.
Add cleanup steps with always() so they also run after readiness or test failures. Remove only containers whose start steps succeeded.

## Summary `elixir-ci / Compile + test` is red on `main` (7363608) and has never run a test. The `mix test` alias is `ecto.create --quiet`, `ecto.migrate --quiet`, `arango.setup`, `test`, and the standards reusable started no database. Every run therefore dies at `** (Mix) The database for EvidenceGraph.Repo couldn't be created`. This PR does two things: - It pins the reusable at hyperpolymath/standards#1190, which adds opt-in `postgres-image` and `arangodb-image` inputs. - It passes digest-pinned images. Ports match `config/test.exs`: `localhost:5432` and `http://localhost:8529`. It unblocks #208 (mint 1.11.0 security bump). That PR compiles identically to `main`, but no test has run on either. **Draft until standards#1190 merges.** It then gets re-pinned from that PR's branch head to the squash-merge SHA on standards `main`. Closes # — no issue. ## Type of change - [x] 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue): CI could not run the test suite. - [ ] ✨ New feature: no. - [ ] 💥 Breaking change: no. - [ ] 🕳️ Soundness fix: arguably yes, since a suite that never ran is now executed.

No local BEAM toolchain; CI is the test. - [ ] New files carry the correct `SPDX-License-Identifier`: n/a, no new files. - [x] Docs are updated, and no public claim now overstates what the code does. Only a workflow comment changed. - [x] I have not introduced a soundness hole. ## Notes for reviewers The tests have never run in CI, so genuine failures may surface here.

Summary
elixir-ci-reusable.ymlstarts no database. Any Ecto app whosemix testalias runsecto.createtherefore dies before a single test executes. bofigmainfails this way on every run:** (Mix) The database for EvidenceGraph.Repo couldn't be created, aftertcp connect (localhost:5432): connection refused.This PR adds two optional inputs, both defaulting to empty:
postgres-image: when set, Postgres runs on127.0.0.1:5432withPOSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust.arangodb-image: when set, ArangoDB runs on127.0.0.1:8529withARANGO_NO_AUTH=1.With auth off, whatever test credentials a repo's
config/test.exsuses are accepted, and the reusable carries no password literals. AWait for opt-in databasesstep polls readiness for up to 120 s. If a server never comes up, it fails by name and prints the container logs.Why
docker runsteps and not aservices:block: tma-mark2 calls this reusable withruns-on: self-hosted. Service containers need Docker and Linux on the runner, and I have no evidence that aservices:block with every image empty is harmless there. With step-levelif:gates, a caller that sets neither input runs exactly the steps it runs today. Image values reach the scripts throughenv:and are never interpolated, so they cannot inject shell.The owner approved a Postgres input. ArangoDB is included because bofig's test alias also runs
arango.setup, so Postgres alone would still leave its suite unable to run.Closes # — no issue; found while triaging bofig#208 (mint security bump).
