Fixes FACT #1595.

When FACT runs containerized with FACT_HOST_MOUNT=/host, recursive glob expansion follows an absolute directory symlink relative to FACT's container root rather than the host mount. Existing descendants behind the link are therefore not seeded for inode tracking.

This change resolves absolute link targets under FACT_HOST_MOUNT, scans their descendants, and keeps the configured symlink alias as the host-path enrichment value.

Validation (privileged Podman Fedora CoreOS VM, kernel 6.11.3):

  • enabled regression failed before the fix: existing target-file writable OPEN timed out
  • absolute directory-symlink regression passes after the fix
  • adjacent relative directory-symlink regression passes after the fix
  • release image builds successfully

The regression is deterministic: it verifies an existing child before creating a new one, because a new child may be observed from the monitored directory inode alone.

Cache unresolved IDs with expiration or invalidation.

For valid IDs, Event::log_oci_debug calls oci::resolve for each debug event. A miss scans both RUNTIME_ROOTS with fs::read_dir and per-entry config.is_file(). This creates repeated I/O. However, CACHE is process-scoped and keyed only by short_id. A permanent None can hide a config created after startup, a recreated config, or another container with the same prefix. Use a bounded TTL or explicit invalidation for unresolved entries. Keep filesystem errors uncached so later events can retry.

Fail when policy cleanup cannot authenticate.

If ROXIE_ENVRC is absent, this branch skips deletion of all lab policies and continues with teardown. The documented default cleanup then leaves active policies in ACS and exits successfully. Require load_roxie_env for default teardown, or exit nonzero with a clear partial-cleanup message.

Skip OCI resolution when debug logging is disabled.

log::debug! evaluates its arguments only after an internal level check. But crate::oci::resolve at Line 381 and metadata.match_mount at Line 391 run outside the macro. When oci_debug is enabled and the effective log level is above Debug, FACT still performs the cache lookup, the possible filesystem scan, and the mount match for every event, then discards the result.

Add an early return based on the log level.

into_otel clones file and process on every event, including the default path.

into_otel takes self by value, but Lines 493 and 495 clone self.file and self.process because self is still needed by the oci_debug block. When oci_debug is false, which is the normal OTEL output path in fact/src/output/otel.rs, these two clones are pure overhead per event.

Process holds a String, an args Vec<String>, a PathBuf, and a lineage Vec<Lineage>. FileData holds PathBuf values. This adds several allocations per event on the OTEL hot path that the previous move-based conversion did not perform.

Build the debug attributes from a borrow first, then move the fields.

The no-sandbox fallback mislabels container metadata as pod metadata.

When container.sandbox is None, Lines 207 and 208 emit k8s.pod.labels and k8s.pod.annotations from container.labels and container.annotations. Lines 196 and 197 already emit the same two maps under k8s.container.labels and k8s.container.annotations.

A telemetry consumer that reads k8s.pod.labels then receives container-scoped values that look like pod-scoped values. Absent attributes are easier to interpret correctly than wrong attributes.

Omit the fallback.

Rust glob crate ** recursive wildcard follow symlinks cycle Pattern::escape

💡 Result:

The Rust glob crate does not natively support following symbolic links when performing recursive searches [1]. Consequently, it does not have built-in mechanisms to detect or handle infinite recursion caused by symlink cycles [1]. If you require functionality to follow symbolic links or manage cycles, you may need to use an alternative crate such as globwalk, which provides a GlobWalkerBuilder with a follow_links method to enable or disable link following [2]. Regarding Pattern::escape, this function is provided by the Pattern struct in the glob crate [3]. Its purpose is to escape metacharacters within a given string by enclosing them in brackets [3][4]. The resulting string, when compiled into a Pattern, will match the exact input string and no other patterns [3][4]. Top results: [1] rust-lang/glob#62 [2] https://docs.rs/globwalk/latest/globwalk/struct.GlobWalkerBuilder.html [3] https://docs.rs/glob/latest/glob/struct.Pattern.html

glob 0.3.4 Rust source recursive ** symlink follow_links Pattern::escape

💡 Result:

In the Rust glob crate (version 0.3.4), the handling of recursive patterns and symlinks, along with the functionality of Pattern::escape, are as follows: Recursive Patterns and Symlinks The glob crate supports recursive directory matching using the syntax (e.g., /media//*.jpg) [1][2]. Regarding symlinks, the crate's behavior is implemented to determine whether a path is a directory by checking file metadata [3]. When encountering a symlink, the crate generally respects standard filesystem metadata operations [3]. Note that specific handling or control over whether symlinks are followed during recursive traversal is not explicitly exposed as a high-level configuration flag in the glob crate's API [4][3]. Users needing specific symlink traversal behavior often rely on the underlying behavior of Rust's standard library fs::metadata calls [3]. Pattern::escape The Pattern::escape function is a static method provided by the Pattern struct in the glob crate [4][5]. Its purpose is to escape meta-characters within a string so that the resulting string can be compiled into a Pattern that matches the input string literally and nothing else [5]. It achieves this by surrounding identified meta-characters with brackets [5]. For example, if you have a string that contains characters like * or?, passing it to Pattern::escape will return a string that, when used as a pattern, will match that exact filename regardless of the meta-characters it originally contained [5]. Technical Summary - Recursive matching: Supported via [1][2]. - Symlinks: Handled via standard metadata inspection; no explicit "follow_links" toggle is present in the public API [3]. - Pattern::escape: Used to treat characters as literals by wrapping them in brackets [5].

site:docs.rs/crate/glob/0.3.4/source/src/lib.rs "symlink_metadata" OR "metadata" "recursive"

💡 Result:

In glob 0.3.4’s src/lib.rs, recursive traversal uses:

  • fs::metadata(...) to determine whether a path is a directory.
  • fs::symlink_metadata(...) as a fallback so symlinks can still be recognized.
  • Recursive ** patterns then descend only when path.is_directory is true. (docs.rs)

The search result currently resolves primarily to the equivalent glob source page rather than a separately indexed 0.3.4 page.

Replace glob::glob with an explicit bounded directory walk. scan_symlink passes target.join("**/*") to glob::glob, so metacharacters in filesystem components remain pattern syntax. A component such as config[1] can mismatch, and an unmatched metacharacter can return PatternError. In glob 0.3.4, recursive ** uses fs::metadata to identify directories and therefore follows directory symlinks. The API provides no cycle detection or traversal bound. A target such as / or an ancestor can make the scanner traverse the host tree or recurse indefinitely. Pattern::escape fixes only the metacharacter issue. Use fs::read_dir and skip nested symlinked directories.

Try the next runtime root after sandbox validation fails.

If both roots contain the same sandbox ID, a stale or mismatched config in the first root can cause bail! to exit before the second root is checked. resolve_from_root then stores sandbox: None. Continue to a later root when the current config fails ContainerType or pod-UID validation, and use the first config that passes both checks.
