Fixes the improper Python package installation introduced in PR #5.

Problem

PR #5 used pip3 install --break-system-packages pyyaml to bypass Debian's PEP 668 externally-managed-environment protection. This is a hack that can cause package conflicts and doesn't follow container best practices.

Solution

Use the native Debian package python3-yaml instead, which:

  • Integrates properly with the system package manager
  • Avoids conflicts with system Python packages
  • Follows Debian best practices for containerized environments
  • No need for --break-system-packages flag

Testing

Local build verified:

docker build -t test-sandbox .
# Verify PyYAML is available
docker run --rm test-sandbox python3 -c 'import yaml; print(yaml.__version__)'

Related: PR #4 (deploy step) was encountering issues due to this improper installation.

CI Failure Analysis - Run #2597

Status: Infrastructure failure (Conclusion: unknown)
Duration: 13 seconds
Branch: fix/proper-python-yaml

Diagnosis

This is a Conclusion: unknown failure pattern, which indicates a runner infrastructure issue, not a code failure:

  • Run duration (13s) is too short for Docker build operations
  • Logs are inaccessible via API (404 response)
  • Jobs API returns 404

Likely Cause

The runs-on: docker-host self-hosted runner may be experiencing:

  • Resource constraints (CPU, memory, disk)
  • Network connectivity issues
  • Container image pull failures (docker:cli)

Recommendation

Manual retry via Forgejo UI typically resolves these transient infrastructure issues.

If the failure persists after retry, check:

  1. Runner health logs on the docker-host
  2. Disk space on runner host
  3. Docker daemon status on runner

Fixed! The issue was that vl-convert-cli doesn't exist as an npm package. vl-convert is a Rust tool that needs to be installed from GitHub binary releases.

Changed to:

Pushed c91b797 - CI should pass now.

Changed to: - Install vl-convert from https://github.com/vega/vl-convert/releases (similar pattern to rbw) - Keep @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli from npm (that one is correct) Pushed c91b797 - CI should pass now.

❌ CI Failed

Workflow: Build Sandbox Image
Run: https://git.brads.house/commune/sandbox/actions/runs/24
Attempts: 3/3 (no retries remaining)

Analysis

Pattern: "Conclusion: unknown" failure

  • Status: failure
  • Conclusion: unknown (API returns empty/null)
  • Duration: 12 seconds (extremely short for Docker build)
  • Logs inaccessible via API (404 errors)

Root Cause

This matches a known failure pattern indicating infrastructure/runner issues, not code defects:

  1. Duration anomaly: 12-second run time is insufficient for Docker image builds (typically 2-5 minutes)
  2. API 404s: Cannot retrieve logs via Forgejo API
  3. Conclusion: unknown: Indicates the runner crashed or was terminated before completing

Recommendation

@brad This requires manual intervention:

  1. Check Forgejo runner health (resource constraints, docker daemon, network)
  2. Review runner logs for crashes or OOM kills
  3. Manually retry the workflow via UI once runner is confirmed healthy

This is not a code issue - retrying after runner stabilization should resolve.

✅ Branch is pushed and ready for testing.

The pr-7 branch contains both fixes:

  • 5661560 fix: use Debian python3-yaml package instead of pip
  • c91b797 fix: install vl-convert from binary releases instead of non-existent npm package

CI should pick this up on the next run.

You're right — wrong base branch. Closing this and opening a new PR targeting proper-python-yaml.

The proper-python-yaml branch doesn't exist in the repo yet. Available branches:

  • main
  • add-deploy-step
  • pr-7
  • fix/proper-python-yaml (my feature branch)

Do you want me to:

  1. Create a proper-python-yaml branch first, then open the PR?
  2. Target a different existing branch?

Ready for review. This replaces the --break-system-packages hack with proper Debian package installation (python3-yaml). Tested locally - PyYAML imports successfully and follows container best practices.
