CI, versioning, ccache and Nix overhaul (nx2-experimental) - #873
Needs to be merged into both nx2-experimental and nx2 to work properly. See the sister PR #872
CI
build identity is now fully determined in the prepare step
more useful build identity
Ccache
ccache stats now actually reports this run correctly
cache is now matched and keyed in a more helpful way
Nix
Nix updated to follow new target arguments (linux, mac; pgo was working)
corrected some build deviations
flake lock update action is no longer scheduled for better control
version is properly inherited from the rest of the CI
no longer inherits Nixpkgs' build of Eden as the base, dependencies redone; transparent about dependency version deviations
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Build names can now include a display version and packaging flavour, shown in the application title, About dialog, update-channel details, and update status.
The About dialog now shows the full build date alongside version and compiler information.
Improvements
Build display identities now distinguish development, release, and PGO builds, with clearer labels for missing or detached branch information.
Manual build workflows can select platforms and control whether build caches are saved.
…everything
ci.yml's Nix job read `inputs.platforms`, which was replaced by the per-OS
booleans in baa6d29 -- two days before the Nix workflows merged. The
expression therefore always evaluated to true and always passed `os: all`, so
a Windows-only dispatch still spun up three Nix runners and there was no way
to ask for Linux alone.
build-nix.yml now takes `linux`/`macos` booleans and derives the matrix from
them; ci.yml and nix.yml both map their own inputs onto those. The macOS
runner follows vars.MACOS_RUNNER like ci.yml's macOS job instead of hardcoding
macos-26.
Also:
- nix-failure-notice only fires when at least one OS job actually ran, and
says "the builds that ran passed" instead of "the other builds passed".
- nix.yml: `inputs.pgo || 'both' || 'only'` had a dead operand.
- package.nix: pass -DUSE_DISCORD_PRESENCE=ON, as upstream's Linux build has
always done; fix meta.homepage to the community repo; document why FFmpeg
stays the system build (upstream's ffmpeg-ci-av1-linux is a `ci` entry with
no hash, so this builder cannot fetch it).
- build-eden-emulator.nix: strip .claude/, hooks/, .mcp.json and
relower_words.cpp from the source filter so dev-tooling churn stops
invalidating ccache and Cachix; cite CMake conditions instead of line
numbers, which had already rotted.
(cherry picked from commit 69597cd)
The Nix build has no .git in its sandbox, so GetSCMRev fell through to its
GIT-NOTFOUND branch and every Nix binary reported 1.0.0/stable instead of the
commit it was built from. Upstream never hits this: .github/actions/setup-build
writes GIT-COMMIT, GIT-REFSPEC, GIT-TAG and GIT-RELEASE before configuring, and
GetSCMRev prefers those files over git.
Do the same here. build-nix.yml takes refspec/tag/release/nightly, writes the
files after checkout and `git add -f`s them -- Nix only copies tracked files out
of a git tree, verified against a scratch repo. ci.yml feeds it the same four
values it already gives the linux job, so the Nix artifact and the release
artifact next to it describe themselves identically.
NIGHTLY_BUILD also changes the banner and the update-checker endpoints, so it
cannot be a per-run flag: add eglantine-nightly and eglantine-nightly-pgo and
build those when prepare says the run is a nightly.
Separately, update-flake-lock no longer runs on a schedule: a GITHUB_TOKEN PR
cannot trigger ci.yml, so weekly bumps arrived unbuilt. Manual dispatch only.
And correct the FFmpeg note in package.nix -- nixpkgs' ffmpeg-headless is
ffmpeg_9-headless, i.e. 9.0.2 with dav1d, the same version upstream bundles,
so there is nothing to vendor. The tarball-portability reason does not apply
to a store path.
(cherry picked from commit 517ebb5)
NIGHTLY_BUILD changes a banner string and the update-checker tag parsing --
it is not a different program, so eglantine-nightly / eglantine-nightly-pgo
were the wrong shape: they doubled the package surface for a label and implied
two binaries.
GetSCMRev already solves per-run identity for CMake with GIT-COMMIT,
GIT-REFSPEC, GIT-TAG and GIT-RELEASE. Give NIGHTLY_BUILD the same treatment:
CMakeLists.txt turns the option on when a GIT-NIGHTLY file sits in the source
root, so any builder that cannot pass -D can still mark a nightly.
build-nix.yml writes that file when prepare says the run is a nightly, exactly
as it writes GIT-RELEASE for a release. The flake goes back to one package:
packages.eglantine and packages.eglantine-pgo. package.nix drops its `nightly`
argument and the -DNIGHTLY_BUILD flag entirely.
Verified with a two-directory probe: no file -> OFF, -DNIGHTLY_BUILD=ON ->
ON, file present with -DNIGHTLY_BUILD=OFF -> ON (the file wins, and the
variable shadows the cache entry into subdirectories where
add_compile_definitions lives).
(cherry picked from commit 9afd2e1)
buildEdenEmulator defaulted its inputs to pkgs.eden.{native,build}Inputs and
threw if the attribute was gone, so this package's dependency set was really
nixpkgs' Eden's. That imports another emulator's decisions (SDL2 where this
tree is SDL3-only via the manifest, fmt_11 where cpmfile.json asks for 12.1.0,
KDE Frameworks' quazip), makes the package fail outright if nixpkgs ever
renames `eden`, and cannot be submitted to nixpkgs at all, where a derivation
cannot inherit from a sibling.
Write the lists out in nix/package.nix. Order is preserved exactly, because
buildInputs order decides which copy of a library wins when two sit on the
prefix path. The three linux-only entries (gamemode, qt6.qtwayland, sirit) are
now conditional rather than filtered out by pname on darwin.
Not carried: catch2 and oaknut, which are in pkgs.eden.buildInputs only
because nixpkgs folds that package's checkInputs in when doCheck is on. This
build sets doCheck = false and BUILD_TESTING=OFF. Diffing the two derivations
shows those two as the only differing inputs, so this commit changes nothing
else.
(cherry picked from commit a70a0ca)
Now that the list is ours, cut it down to what CPM cannot provide. The builder
passes -DCPMUTIL_FORCE_SYSTEM=OFF and gives every cpmfile.json entry a
_CUSTOM_DIR pointing at a pre-fetched store path, so a nixpkgs copy of a
manifest library is either shadowed or the wrong version: fmt_11 against the
manifest's 12.1.0, KDE Frameworks' quazip against the pinned one, SDL2 where
this tree builds SDL3 from source.
Removed because the manifest supplies them: boost cpp-jwt cubeb enet fmt_11
frozen-containers httplib quazip libopus libusb1 lz4 nlohmann_json simpleini
sirit spirv-headers vulkan-headers vulkan-memory-allocator
vulkan-utility-libraries zlib zstd xbyak oaknut.
Removed because nothing uses them: stb (vendored in externals/stb, which
defines the target), unordered_dense (no reference anywhere in the tree), SDL2,
and qt6.qtmultimedia / qt6.qtwebengine, whose options both default OFF and are
never set here. qt6.qtcharts stays: Charts is in YUZU_QT_COMPONENTS.
The httplib 0.30.2 pin goes with it -- it existed because newer httplib broke
Eden, and this tree takes httplib from the manifest.
SDL3 is the exception in the other direction: it is compiled from source inside
this derivation, so its own configure runs here and its dependencies have to be
ours. They used to arrive transitively through SDL2 and qt6.qtwebengine, and
dropping those made SDL3 fail on XSCRNSAVER. sdl3Deps is nixpkgs' SDL3 build
dependency set for Linux, minus the optional tray/ibus/jack/pipewire bits that
SDL3 autodetects rather than requires.
(cherry picked from commit 8353f06)
The dependency dialog prints cpmutil_register_package's version string, which
for a system package was just "<version> (system)". Once a build stops at a
distribution package instead of the pinned one -- which is what Nix does for
most dependencies now -- the dialog showed the version that got linked but not
the one cpmfile.json asked for, so there was no way to see the substitution.
Both now: "3.5.9 (system; manifest 3.6.2)", or the old short form when the two
agree.
(cherry picked from commit a888efb)
Policy change: nixpkgs first. cpmfile.json stays the pin, but a dependency
nixpkgs can provide is taken from nixpkgs rather than compiled from source in
this derivation -- it comes from the binary cache and the build recipe is
maintained upstream. Only what nixpkgs cannot serve is built from the manifest,
selected per package with -D<package>_FORCE_SYSTEM=ON (CPMUtil checks that
before the global option; the name is the manifest's `package` field, falling
back to the entry key).
Switched in this commit:
- SDL3 -- nixpkgs' sdl3 with overrideAttrs onto release-3.4.8, the version the
manifest pins. This removes the 22 X11/wayland/audio/drm entries that
existed only to let SDL3's own configure run inside this build, and with
them the failure mode that killed the first trimmed build (XSCRNSAVER).
- enet, nlohmann_json, oaknut, zlib -- nixpkgs ships the exact manifest
version, so no override at all.
- libusb1 -- forced by a failure: dropping the SDL3 block also dropped the
libusb1 that had been satisfying libusb implicitly, and libusb's bundled
build then demanded autoconf. Its one manifest patch is NetBSD-only.
Also flip nixBuildIdentity to on by default: the dependency set is no longer
identical to the release build, so the title bar should say where the binary
came from rather than implying it is the tarball build.
Verified on x86_64-linux: the log prints "Using system package SDL3@3.4.8",
"nlohmann_json@3.12.0", "ZLIB@1.3.2", "enet@v1.3.18".
(cherry picked from commit e035d65)
Second batch under the nixpkgs-first policy. fmt, simpleini, sirit, xbyak, lz4,
cubeb, vulkan-headers, vulkan-utility-libraries and gamemode now come from
nixpkgs at the version cpmfile.json pins, via pinTo, which fetches the upstream
archive for that tag or commit and clears two things that only work at the
version nixpkgs ships:
- patches -- fmt's nixpkgs patch is a 12.2.0 fix and fails at hunk 1 against
12.1.0, aborting the unpack phase;
- doCheck -- their test suites are not ours, and nixpkgs' is written for the
version it ships (zstd's configure demands a static library for it).
vulkan-headers and vulkan-utility-libraries stop being FORCE_BUNDLED: per
CPMUtil's precedence, FORCE_SYSTEM is checked before FORCE_BUNDLED, and having
both was ambiguous.
Four dependencies stay on CPM because their nixpkgs recipe is version-specific
beyond what an override can paper over, not because of version drift:
- frozen: preConfigure runs `rm BUILD`, and the pinned commit has no such dir;
- quazip: nixpkgs packages the KDE fork, the manifest pins stachenov/quazip;
- discord-rpc: the recipe substitutes a cmake_minimum_required line that the
pinned commit does not contain;
- zstd: configure aborts before checkPhase, so doCheck = false never applies.
Also fix a bug in the system-package label added earlier: it embedded a
semicolon, which is CMake's list separator, so one GLOBAL property entry became
two and GenerateDepHashes.cmake emitted 30 strings for a 29-slot array --
"too many initializers for const std::array<const char*, 29>". Comma instead.
Verified on x86_64-linux.
(cherry picked from commit 59543a4)
The darwin leg failed in evaluation, not in a build:
Refusing to evaluate package 'sirit-v1.0.5' ... because it is not available
on the requested hostPlatform: aarch64-darwin
Checked every pinned dependency against nixpkgs' meta.platforms for all three
systems first: sirit and gamemode are the only two that aarch64-darwin does not
have, and gamemode was already gated. xbyak, oaknut, lz4, cubeb, simpleini,
fmt, vulkan-headers, vulkan-utility-libraries, enet, nlohmann_json, zlib,
libusb1 and sdl3 are available on all three.
sirit therefore moves out of the cross-platform pin list and onto the Linux-only
one next to gamemode, and its -Dsirit_FORCE_SYSTEM=ON becomes conditional with
it -- on darwin it goes back to being built from the manifest, which is where it
came from before.
All three systems now evaluate to a derivation.
(cherry picked from commit f3e8e9e)
The darwin leg reached configuration this time and stopped at:
[CPMUtil] gamemode not found via find_package(gamemode 1.7 MODULE)
because the package moved into the Linux-only group while its
-Dgamemode_FORCE_SYSTEM=ON stayed in the unconditional flag list, so darwin was
told to look for a gamemode it had deliberately not been given. Both Linux-only
entries now carry their flag in the same lib.optionals block that carries the
package.
On darwin gamemode goes back to being built from the manifest, which is what
externals/CMakeLists.txt does with it unconditionally -- it only ever uses the
header directory.
(cherry picked from commit 9273d48)
ccache's counters live in the cache directory, so a restored cache brings the
previous run's totals with it: without --zero-stats the printed hit rate is a blend
of two runs, which is how a leg that hit ~85% of its own compiles came to be read as
33%. Print the settings as the compiler actually sees them for the same reason - a
config that differs between refs is otherwise invisible in the log.
(cherry picked from commit 8118fbb)
…table cache names
- The ccache environment moves into setup-build and is exported through GITHUB_ENV,
so no platform or branch can hold a private variant of it. ccache hashes those
settings into every key: a ref that differs restores a cache it cannot use and
misses all of it, in both direct and preprocessed mode, while the log says
'cache restored'. Refs differed after 43de196 added COMPILERCHECK=content,
BASEDIR and NOHASHDIR to build-linux.yml only, which is why the Linux legs of
those branches were permanently cold.
- save_cache input on ci.yml, threaded to the three build workflows and the action:
a branch with a changed configuration can warm itself instead of waiting to merge.
Default stays 'the nightly and refs/heads/nx2 save, everything else restores'.
- The objects cache name carries a hash of this action, so a ref running a different
configuration reports 'cache not found' instead of restoring an unusable entry.
Tomorrow's divergence becomes visible in one line of the log rather than 35 minutes
into a cold build.
- Linux keeps its zeroed, accurate stats; the CCACHE_DEBUG block and its ~1.9 GB
per-leg artifact upload are gone (the glob matched nothing).
(cherry picked from commit 7841be5)
It was not mine to remove: 'n/a' on that question meant 'nothing to add', not
'delete it'. Restored verbatim, including the artifact upload.
(cherry picked from commit ebeb225)
- macOS: HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE / HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALLED_DEPENDENTS_CHECK /
HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_UPGRADE / HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS. The runner image already
carries the bottles; brew was spending its time updating taps, scanning
dependents and upgrading formulae that were already there (3.5 min of a 8.2 min
warm run).
- Linux: cache /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb instead of the directory. The
directory never saved - tar cannot read archives/lock and archives/partial - so
the archive was never restored and every leg re-downloaded ~30 packages.
- MSYS2: the full pacman -Syu now runs only on the nightly, which is the
designated updater; branch and PR runs install from the cached root, so they
stay current without paying for an upgrade every time. The mingw leg prints the
ccache and clang versions it ended up with.
(cherry picked from commit 400c830)
update: false installs from whatever package database the cached root carries. When the
cache missed (it did, on this run) that database is the one bundled with the MSYS2
release, and the result could not compile a test program at all:
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - failed
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
The saving was ~25 s anyway (2.2 vs 2.6 min), so update: true stays. The mingw leg now
prints the ccache and clang it ended up with, which is what a mismatch should look like.
(cherry picked from commit 3f98881)
The two Linux legs shared one key, so aarch64 and x86_64 raced for it (the loser
logs 'another job may be creating this cache') and, worse, each could restore the
other's .deb files, which apt cannot use.
(cherry picked from commit 155eba7)
The restored archive made no difference because /var/cache/apt/archives is root-owned:
the cache step reported a 175 MB restore and the install still downloaded 267 packages.
apt now uses $HOME/apt-archives via Dir::Cache::archives, which the runner owns, and the
cache path follows it. Both apt-get install sites (base packages and clang for PGO) use it.
(cherry picked from commit 68df97c)
E: Archives directory /home/runner/apt-archives/partial is missing. - Acquire
apt needs the directory and its partial/ to exist before it will use them.
(cherry picked from commit 2acad29)
Four attempts: the directory itself fails to save (lock/partial), /var/cache/apt/archives
is root-owned so a restore writes nothing, an arch-scoped key stops the two legs racing,
and with apt pointed at a runner-owned directory the Post step still found nothing to save.
It targets ~20-30 s of downloads on a four-minute leg, so it is gone rather than papered
over. The macOS brew experiment (exp/brew-cache) measured 4.7 min against 4.0 without it:
caching bottle downloads does not help either, so nothing from it is merged.
(cherry picked from commit 3aef3b3)
…r leg
setup-build decides saving once, for every platform: refs/heads/nx2 and the
schedule save, everyone else only restores, and a dispatch can force it with
`save_cache`. build-nix.yml still used bare actions/cache, so a Nix leg wrote a
fresh archive for every (system, pgo, sha) on every run -- the legs with the most
to lose from eviction were the ones contributing to it.
The rule and the step names now match setup-build's, so "did this run save?" has
one answer across platforms. `save_cache` is threaded through ci.yml's Nix job
and added to nix.yml's dispatch, which is the cheap way to warm a branch after
the ccache settings change.
The ccache tree is only opened for the save when a save will happen.
(cherry picked from commit 54e88c4)
The grep kept four lines, and ccache omits the counter lines entirely when it
compiled nothing -- so the step that exists to say "the check stage compiled
something / nothing" printed just "Cache size (GiB): 0.0 / 5.0", which reads as
an empty cache. The plain legs print the block; do the same here.
(cherry picked from commit aa2e988)
CCACHE_DEBUG=1 and the `find ... | xargs cat` of one translation unit's debug log
were the probe that answered the accuracy question; the answer is now in the
stats and the settings dump above them, and the debug logs cost disk and bury
the log. Keep --zero-stats, the build and --show-stats -vv: hits, misses and the
direct/preprocessed split are the part that is worth reading every run.
(cherry picked from commit 62a7868)
… leg
Users could not tell two builds apart at a glance: the title showed
<sha10>-<refspec>, which means nothing unless you already know the branch, and
the About dialog showed the same. Nothing carried the commit's date, and a fork
build was indistinguishable from a release one.
prepare now composes one string - "[owner/repo/]branch - <commit date> (<sha7>)",
or "... - <tag>" for a release, plus " (PGO)" on a PGO leg - via
tools/ci/display-version.sh, and every leg gets both variants: whether a leg is
PGO is a per-leg decision, so prepare cannot pick one.
The value travels the same way the GIT-* identity files already do: as workflow
inputs into setup-build (plain legs) and into build-nix.yml (which also writes a
store-safe rendering for the flake's version). nix.yml, which has no ci.yml
prepare job, gains one so a manual dispatch agrees.
The date is the commit's own, never the clock: the value lands inside the Nix
source tree, so a build-time timestamp would give every run a new derivation and
cost the binary cache, and two builds of one commit would describe themselves
differently.
(cherry picked from commit 8aef53c)
GIT-DISPLAY is read next to the GIT-* files and becomes Common::g_display_version,
which BuildDisplayName() renders as "<name> <identity>" - and appends the
packaging flavour, so a Nix build still says so now that its TITLEBARFORMATIDLE
override is gone.
The About dialog keeps everything that the one-line identity does not carry: the
version label, the compiler and the build timestamp, as a second line.
g_build_version, g_build_id and the fallback string are untouched: the update
checker compares a release tag against g_build_version and splits it on "-",
and that stays a separate, machine-readable field.
(cherry picked from commit 2b1a4d1)
One build carried four unrelated strings: tag (the forge's), title (the human
one), version (the AppImage filename) and display (the binary's). title and tag
stay as they are - one has to stay readable, the other has to stay unique and
URL-safe - but version was a third invention, and it now renders the identity the
same way a Nix store path does. A downloaded AppImage, a workflow artifact and a
store path then carry the same string.
g_release_tag exposes GIT-TAG, which every leg already writes. Nothing reads it:
the updater keeps comparing g_build_version exactly as before, so no build
changes behaviour. It exists because that comparison cannot work today - a daily
build stores <sha10>-daily-20261114 while the release is tagged daily-20261114 -
and a future updater should compare tag to tag, not tag to label.
(cherry picked from commit e217d09)
The option defaults off, so this changes nothing about this derivation's result
in the way it behaves -- but every other CI leg passes the flag explicitly, and a
Nix build was the one place relying on the default. An updater cannot update a
Nix package either way; the flake input is the source of truth. Pinned here so an
upstream default flip cannot silently ship a Nix binary that offers to update to
a release from a different project.
(cherry picked from commit 73ed548)
A schedule run on the default branch never fills `branch`; daily.yml's dispatch
does. Prefer it and keep the configured daily branch as the fallback, so the
identity names the branch that was actually built.
daily.yml moved the schedule out of ci.yml: a daily is now a workflow_dispatch
on the daily branch, so `github.event_name == 'schedule'` never fires and the
only surviving clause was refs/heads/nx2, which a daily build never matches. The
branch that builds every night was therefore always cold.
The caller knows the kind, so it says it: ci.yml maps kind=daily onto save_cache
for all four legs, and both per-leg rules drop the dead schedule test.
MSG2
build: the updater UI and the Nix package follow the identity
Upstream's updater landed after the display work and surfaces g_build_version in
two places a user reads - "you are running the newest version on the X channel
(...)" and the "Installed version:" tooltip - so they printed the machine label
while the title bar and About showed the identity. Both now use
Common::BuildDisplayName().
g_release_tag goes with them: the updater derives the tag itself, from
g_build_version or (for a daily) g_build_id, so the constant had no reader.
And the Nix package's reason for keeping the update checker off is no longer
"the endpoints point at another project" - they point at this one now, and
release and daily tarballs ship a working updater. The reason is the package
manager: an in-app download would put a tarball inside a store-managed tree.

Walkthrough
CI now generates and propagates display identities to platform builds and application build metadata. The changes also adjust cache-save controls and diagnostics, Nix dependencies and build settings, and how the application presents its build identity.
The shared script creates display, PGO, and store-safe identity variants. CI preparation exposes these values. The Nix failure notice now requires at least one Linux or macOS build to succeed.
Platform workflows pass display values to build steps. The Nix workflow writes and stages SCM metadata. Nix reads GIT-DISPLAY-STORE when present and otherwise uses VERSION.
Build and display application identity src/common/*, src/qt_common/qt_common.cpp, src/yuzu/*, nix/package.nix
CMake supplies display-version and flavour values to generated SCM code. Common::BuildDisplayName() provides the build identity used by application UI and notices. Nix sets the nix flavour when build identity is enabled.
Nix now defines explicit platform-aware dependencies, including pinned package sources. The build helper changes its default inputs and source exclusions. CMake can enable nightly builds from a marker file, CPM labels can include both package versions, and the flake-lock workflow is manual-only.
Control build caches .github/actions/setup-build/action.yml, .github/workflows/build-*.yml, .github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/nix.yml
Cache saving defaults to disabled unless requested or enabled by the nx2 ref or daily-build routing. Compiler-object cache keys use objects-v2 and include the action configuration hash. Platform workflows add cache diagnostics and statistics changes.
Several small CI and Nix issues should be fixed before or shortly after merge. The Windows PGO build can lose its intended build identity, and branch names containing an apostrophe can break the cache steps. Older-checkout builds may not reuse their compiler cache, and the pinned SDL3 package can fail metadata validation. Normal builds are largely unaffected.
Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to 3c6d2
Build labels remain separate from release and update identifiers, and Nix explicitly retains package-manager ownership of updates. No introduced or worsened risk materially affecting security, failure containment, rollback or ownership was established in the inspected paths.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — The inspected privileged outcomes are publication to this repository's releases and writes to its configured Cachix cache. The release job retains contents-write permission, while the Nix workflow receives the configured Cachix token. The comparison does not add either authority.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The existing preparation gate accepts only labelled same-repository PR builds. Preparation executes scripts from the default branch and fetches the target commit as data, verifies that commit, and passes its SHA through environment values. Display inputs are passed as quoted arguments rather than evaluated shell text.
observed — Nix source checkout still disables persisted credentials, and Nix installation still refuses flake-provided configuration. These pre-existing controls remain in place around the newly staged metadata; the writable compiler-cache directory is also pre-existing.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The unchanged publisher executes release scripts from the default branch, rejects empty artifact collections, and retains failed-release cleanup that avoids deleting a release known to exist before the attempt. The new display identity is not an input to that recovery decision.

Explanation
The title "CI, versioning, ccache and Nix overhaul (nx2-experimental)" matches the changeset. The summaries show changes to CI workflows (build-linux, build-macos, build-nix, build-windows, ci.yml, nix.yml), build identity and display versioning (display-version.sh, prepare.sh, scm_rev, About dialog), ccache handling (cache-save defaults, ccache settings steps), and Nix packaging (package.nix, flake.nix, build-eden-emulator.nix). The title is a short, specific single phrase. It names the main areas but uses a list form and a branch tag in parentheses, which is slightly less concise than ideal. Overall it reflects the primary change.

Review comments at @.github/actions/setup-build/action.yml:
- Line 102: Update the branch-ref comparison in the setup step to read
"$GITHUB_REF" from the shell environment instead of interpolating `${{
github.ref }}` into shell source, while preserving the existing comparison
against refs/heads/nx2.
- Line 79: Update the Compiler cache environment setup so CCACHE_DIR points to
the workspace .ccache directory on both the local-action and pinned-action
compatibility paths, ensuring restored and saved cache objects use the same
directory after platform overrides are removed.
Review comments at @.github/workflows/build-nix.yml:
- Line 182: Update the shell ref comparison in the Nix job to use the quoted
runtime variable "$GITHUB_REF" instead of interpolating github.ref into shell
source. Preserve the existing check against refs/heads/nx2.
Review comments at @.github/workflows/build-windows.yml:
- Line 205: Move the display input forwarding from the compatibility MinGW setup
invocation to the local current-source setup invocation. Ensure current
checkouts pass inputs.display_pgo so the prepared PGO identity is preserved, and
do not pass the unsupported display input to the compatibility pin.
Review comments at @nix/package.nix:
- Line 104: The SDL3 source override sets rev without the tag required by the
locked recipe’s changelog metadata; replace rev with tag in the SDL3 source
override, preserving the release-3.4.8 value.

Preserve the cache environment on the compatibility path.
When a checkout lacks the local action, this step does not run. The pinned action exports no CCACHE_DIR, but it still restores and saves workspace .ccache. After the platform overrides are removed, ccache uses a different default directory, so those builds cannot use the restored objects. Initialize the cache environment on both setup paths.

Compare the ref through the shell environment.
For a valid branch such as fix/o'hare, expression substitution creates an unmatched single quote. The setup step then fails before cache restoration. Use "$GITHUB_REF" instead of inserting ${{ github.ref }} into shell source. (git-scm.com)

Keep the selected ref out of shell source.
A dispatch from fix/o'hare inserts an unmatched single quote into this comparison. The Nix job then fails before cache restoration. Compare "$GITHUB_REF" instead. This script needs its own correction even if the composite action is fixed. Git permits apostrophes in ref names. (git-scm.com)

Pass the PGO identity to the current-source setup action.
This input is attached to the compatibility invocation. For current checkouts, the MinGW setup receives no display, so the action removes GIT-DISPLAY and the PGO binary loses the prepared identity. Move this forwarding to the local-action invocation above. The compatibility pin does not implement the display input. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Preserve SDL3's tag-based source metadata.
The locked SDL3 recipe builds meta.changelog from finalAttrs.src.tag. This override supplies only rev, so tag becomes null. With config.checkMeta=true, metadata validation evaluates that expression and package evaluation fails. Use tag = "release-3.4.8" instead of rev. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
