Standard gallery shards independently install FFmpeg and 86 dependencies from Ubuntu mirrors. In PR #494, five shards finished setup in 15–27 seconds while three remained in package installation for over 17 minutes before starting any gallery tests.

Add one blocking dependency producer, parallel with the shared-wheel build. It downloads the reviewed Ubuntu package bundle once on a cache miss, verifies committed SHA-512 digests and sizes, and publishes one same-run artifact. All eight standard shards restore that artifact and install offline, with integrity checks before privileged installation and an H.264 encode preflight. The producer owns an exact lockfile-keyed cache; warm runs verify cached packages without contacting package servers.

Package identities come from authenticated Ubuntu indexes. The committed maintenance command refreshes the lock without changing host APT state. Dependency downloads, producer setup and consumer restoration have bounded timeouts. Workflow/selection checks require the producer, fail the aggregate result on its failure, and reject reintroduced per-shard APT downloads. Specs, a release note and reproducible local setup measurements are included.

Validation:

• 203 focused dependency, workflow and selection tests passed, including corruption/symlink/path rejection, cache reuse, offline consumer wiring, summary failure propagation and mutation checks.
• Full-worktree pre-commit hooks, Ruff lint/format, focused typechecking, Python-floor validation, actionlint and workflow verification passed.
• Verified the actual 87-package bundle and deterministic lock refresh against signed Ubuntu metadata. Local cold download: 55.05s; warm verification: 0.10s.
• Installed the bundle and encoded H.264 in an isolated Ubuntu 24.04 fixture with networking disabled: 4.37s. Raw observations and reproduction commands are committed under spec/.

Hosted run 40485681835 passed the new cold producer: one upstream bundle download and verification took 9.65s, followed by one artifact upload. All eight shard restoration/install/encoding steps passed in 7–17s. The artifact identity and individual step timings are committed in spec/benchmarks/ci-gallery-dependencies.json. The full CI suite continues independently; these observed setup timings are not a throughput guarantee.

Hosted warm-cache run 40486201516 then restored the same exact cache key: package verification took 0.15s and made no Ubuntu package-server requests. Producer log: https://github.com/reflex-dev/xy/actions/runs/40486201516/job/122129019366

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Gallery CI jobs now share a pinned, integrity-verified FFmpeg package bundle, reducing repeated package downloads and enabling offline restoration across all eight gallery shards.
  • Gallery dependency failures are included in the overall CI result, helping ensure issues are reported consistently.
• Documentation
  • Added guidance for dependency verification, lockfile updates, and reproducing the gallery setup without network access.

Walkthrough

Adds a pinned Ubuntu FFmpeg package bundle manager. A conditional CI job downloads and verifies the bundle once, then eight gallery shards restore and install it offline. Workflow checks, tests, and documentation cover the package and artifact flow.

Changes: Gallery FFmpeg dependency flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pinned package bundle validation and retrieval scripts/ci_gallery_ffmpeg.lock.json, scripts/ci_gallery_dependencies.py, tests/test_ci_gallery_dependencies.py	The lock pins Ubuntu 24.04 amd64 package metadata. The script validates the lock and bundle, downloads packages with integrity checks, and supports mirror fallback. Tests cover lock validation, cache reuse, download integrity, and fallback.
Package installation and lock refresh scripts/ci_gallery_dependencies.py, tests/test_ci_gallery_dependencies.py, tests/fixtures/ci_gallery_dependencies.Dockerfile	The installer verifies the bundle before installing packages, checks the FFmpeg version, and runs an encoding probe. Lock refresh resolves the existing package names from authenticated Ubuntu indexes. Tests and the Docker fixture cover installation validation and offline restoration.
Shared artifact and gallery CI integration .github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/actions/restore-gallery-dependencies/action.yml, scripts/ci_scope.py, scripts/verify_ci_workflow.py, tests/test_ci_scope.py, tests/test_verify_ci_workflow.py, spec/process/production-readiness.md, spec/benchmarks/ci-gallery-dependencies.json, news/541.misc.md	The gallery_dependencies job produces the verified artifact, and the gallery shards restore it through the composite action. CI selection and workflow validation check the producer and consumer wiring. Documentation, benchmark data, and the release note describe the flow and recorded measurements.

- Around line 114-115: Update the download retry flow around verify_file so size
or digest validation failures also trigger a retry against the alternate URL.
Keep verification mandatory before promoting the package, and preserve the
existing handling of transport errors.
- Around line 176-280: Update refresh_lock to resolve and serialize the complete
APT install dependency closure, not just the names already in the lock, before
writing the updated lock. Add the required offline dpkg installation probe and
ensure the lock is written only after the probe succeeds.
