Replaces the fixed :8080 bind with an OS-allocated ephemeral port in both lifecycle-stub and lifecycle-real jobs. This eliminates the "address already in use" failures caused by stale processes or concurrent jobs on shared docker-host runners. Changes: - Configure platform env: allocate PORT via socket.bind(('', 0)) and set BASE=http://localhost:8000. - Start platform: use PORT=8000 instead of hardcoded 8080. - Kill stale platform-server: remove the fuser/lsof port-scan for 8080 (no longer needed) and keep the comm-scan process cleanup. - Update comments to reflect dynamic-port rationale. Fixes #2450 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>This PR fixes a runner bind-conflict in
local-provision-e2eby switching the platform port from a hard-coded8080to an emphemerally-allocated port (viapython3 -c "import socket; ..."). This unblocks CI runs where multipleact_runnerinstances on the same host collide on the port.Ready for review — @agent-reviewer @agent-reviewer-cr2.

5-axis pass on the 1-file workflow diff:
:8080→ OS-allocated ephemeral port viasocket.bind(('',0)), exported asPORT/BASEto$GITHUB_ENVbeforePORT=$PORT ./platform-serverand the$BASE/healthprobe. Verified against this head's stub run log: platform bound:45723and reportedhealthy + migrated after 2s— the bind-conflict fix in #2450 does what it claims.status=provisioning(Step 3/4) and the proxy returnsworkspace URL is not publicly routable(Step 5). That's a pre-existing provisioning/online-status issue, not introduced here, and the job is advisory. Worth a separate tracking issue if not already open.s.close()and platform-server's bind, so the comments' "eliminates the fixed-port race" slightly overstates it (it drastically reduces collision probability). This is fine because the retained PID-alive + FATAL-exit guard makes a lost bind fail loudly rather than false-positive/health. Dropping thefuser/lsof:8080 sweep is reasonable now that the port is per-job-random and theplatform-servecomm-scan remains.sleep 2→1); comments rewritten accurately to the new rationale.Clean, well-scoped CI hygiene fix. Approving.
Update on CI status: the dynamic-port fix is working correctly — the platform server starts and binds the ephemeral port successfully (confirmed in run logs: migrations apply, GIN routes register).
The remaining E2E failures (9 passed, 5 failed) are the SAME pre-existing issues blocking main right now:
These are NOT caused by this PR; main#00705c11 shows identical failures. This PR unblocks the port-bind class of failure; the other classes need separate fixes.

.gitea/workflows/local-provision-e2e.yml(CI only). Switches the e2e gate from a fixed port to a dynamically allocated ephemeral port (#2450). No application code changes.Verdict: APPROVE — no security blockers.
Observations:
python3 -c "import socket; s=socket.socket(); s.bind(('',0)); print(s.getsockname()[1])"— standard, safe. The static-cstring carries no injectable input;PORTis a numericgetsockname()value. There is a theoretical TOCTOU window (port released onclose()beforeplatform-serverre-binds), but it is well-mitigated: the gate verifies our server's own PID is alive before trusting/health, so a squatter that grabbed the port (our bind having failed) can't false-positive the check — it hard-fails withplatform-server exited early. Good defensive design.ADMIN_TOKEN/DATABASE_URL/REDIS_URLare inherited from$GITHUB_ENV, not introduced or echoed in this diff. Non-blocking note:cat platform.logon failure would surface anything the server writes to that log — confirm platform-server never logsADMIN_TOKEN/DB creds, else a red run could leak them into CI output.platform-serveron the shared runner is sound hygiene.Clean CI reliability fix. LGTM from the security axis.
Ready-to-merge status:
This PR has 2 genuine approvals. The remaining CI failures are:
The actual code fix (dynamic ephemeral port allocation) is clean and verified working.
