Ride out the crates.io rate limit, and drop a 22 GiB build cache - #35
Conversation
`target/` was 44.38 GiB, of which `debug/incremental` was 22 GiB -- half the directory, for a rebuild cache. It is now 0 bytes and `target/` is 3.20 GiB after a clean rebuild of both profiles. `incremental = false` is honoured only on `dev` and `release`; the test profile ignores it, so `cargo test` was never paying for it either. ## Why this cannot affect a shipped binary Two claims, and the second one is why the first is stated at all. Adding `[profile.dev]` with the release tree warm recompiled nothing: `cargo build --release` finished in 0.26 s with no `Compiling` lines. Profiles are independent fingerprints. Comparing the release binary by hash was tried first and is **invalid**. Two clean release builds with an identical `Cargo.toml` produce different hashes, so the method cannot resolve a change this small. Recording that, because the obvious check here gives a number that looks like a finding and is not. ## `debug` was left alone, on a measurement `debug = "line-tables-only"` saves 900 MiB of `.pdb` and keeps `file:line:column` in a panic -- verified with a deliberately failing test, which still reported `zz_line_check.rs:4:5`. All 796 tests pass with it set. It also takes line coverage from 92.40% to 35.25%, because `cargo llvm-cov` attributes a source region through the debug info's column data and line tables have none. The coverage job gates at 85 and would fail, so the 900 MiB is cheaper than the gate. The comment in `Cargo.toml` records this so the next person does not repeat the experiment: if coverage is ever measured without llvm-cov, it is the first thing to revisit. The measured trade, so nothing here is an assertion: | setting | `target/` | coverage | tests | |---|---|---|---| | before | 44.38 GiB | 91.5% (pinned) | 796/796 | | `incremental = false` | 3.20 GiB | 92.40% | 796/796 | | + `debug = "line-tables-only"` | 2.3 GiB | 35.25% | 796/796, gate fails |
… run
The first real publish was refused at crate 7 of 16:
error: failed to publish sephera_graph_cpp v0.7.1
status 429 Too Many Requests: You have published too many new crates
in a short period of time. Please try again after Fri, 09 Oct 2026
11:38:22 GMT
Six crates were already uploaded and the job stopped, so the run could only
have been finished by re-running it from the beginning -- which would have
failed on crate 1 with "already uploaded".
Three changes, and the second is the one that fixes the cause rather than the
symptom.
**Pace the publishes, 45 s apart.** Six crates went up inside about eighteen
seconds and the seventh was refused with a retry four minutes later. A limiter
that clears in four minutes is a burst limiter, not an hourly quota, and the
cheapest response to a burst limiter is not to burst. Retrying alone would also
have worked, by hitting the wall and waiting -- spending the run's wall clock on
refusals instead of uploading continuously.
**Ride out a 429 when one still lands.** `publish_one` retries, and it reads the
retry time out of the server's message rather than doubling from a guess. A
stated time that has already passed is not honoured -- a stale message would
otherwise produce a one-second retry and a second 429. The doubling caps at
twenty minutes.
**Resume.** A crate already at the version is skipped, so an interrupted run
picks up where it stopped. Checked against crates.io as it is right now: the
six crates that made it are detected, the ten that did not are not, and the
dry run still packages all sixteen.
`timeout-minutes` goes to 300, which is a ceiling and not an expectation --
paced at 45 s, sixteen crates is about twelve minutes plus the checks. GitHub
caps a job at six hours, so it cannot go higher, and a run that reaches it is
resumable rather than lost.
The teeth checks are in the commit that produced them: a 429 is recognised, its
retry time is read as minutes rather than an hour, a stale time falls back to
the backoff instead of one second, an already-uploaded crate is not an error,
and an unrelated packaging failure still stops the run. The check that a past
retry date used to produce a one-second wait was a real bug in the first
version of this and is what the fixture with an expired date is for.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The release workflow can still stall or fail. Dependent crates may be published before Cargo can resolve their newly uploaded dependencies.

Account for test-profile incremental compilation.
Line 65 is incorrect: Cargo’s test profile inherits from dev, so incremental = false at Line 88 also disables incremental compilation for cargo test. Repeated test builds after source edits therefore lose the incremental cache. (doc.rust-lang.org)
If this trade-off is intended, update the rationale and report the test-build impact. Otherwise, add [profile.test] incremental = true and remeasure the cache size.

Identify this application in crates.io API requests.
urllib.request.urlopen sends the default Python User-Agent. The crates.io API policy requires clients to identify themselves. If crates.io rejects this request, is_published can treat the response as “not published” and prevent a resumed release from reaching the remaining crates. Send an application-specific User-Agent with the request.

Check the Cargo index before advancing the publish plan.
is_published checks the crates.io API, not the index. crates.io records an uploaded version in its database before a background job updates the index. wait_for_index can therefore succeed while Cargo clients still cannot resolve the version. A resumed run also skips the wait entirely at Line 577. Check the index in wait_for_index, and apply that wait to skipped crates before publishing their dependants. (github.com)

Require an actual 429 before retrying a publish failure.
The "too many" match also accepts unrelated Cargo or build errors, such as “too many open files.” For that failure, publish_one retries instead of reporting the cause and can spend the release timeout on backoff. Match the registry’s 429 response rather than arbitrary output text. Cargo verifies a package before upload, so its output can contain failures unrelated to the registry. (doc.rust-lang.org)

Bound server-provided waits to the retry budget.
RATE_LIMIT_MAX caps only the fallback backoff. If a 429 message names a time beyond the workflow’s 300-minute limit, time.sleep(wait) holds the job until it times out without another attempt. Treat a server time beyond the configured ceiling as no usable explicit wait, then use the bounded fallback. This also preserves the stated retry-time policy.

Do not sleep after the final failed attempt.
When attempt RATE_LIMIT_RETRY receives a 429, the loop still sleeps before returning failure. At the default maximum backoff, this adds up to 20 minutes without a possible retry and can consume the remaining workflow time. Return failure before sleeping on the final attempt.
