Summary

  • add a soft runner-host GN probe outside the Sailfish SDK container
  • download Linux amd64 GN from Chrome CIPD, with a pinned timniederhausen/gn 2024.12 fallback
  • verify the copied ./gn --version, emit RUNNER_HOST_GN_OK, and surface method/version/URLs in the engine-spike summary
  • document the runner-vs-container boundary and next native research steps

Scope / honesty

  • no gclient sync, full engine configure, compile, or RPM claim
  • probe is continue-on-error / always-soft and does not alter the hello-world hard gate
  • SDK-container CIPD GN diagnostic remains separate because run 46 showed its loader is missing

## Summary - add a soft runner-host GN probe outside the Sailfish SDK container - download Linux amd64 GN from Chrome CIPD, with a pinned timniederhausen/gn 2024.12 fallback - verify the copied `./gn --version`, emit `RUNNER_HOST_GN_OK`, and surface method/version/URLs in the engine-spike summary - document the runner-vs-container boundary and next native research steps ## Scope / honesty - no `gclient sync`, full engine configure, compile, or RPM claim - probe is `continue-on-error` / always-soft and does not alter the hello-world hard gate - SDK-container CIPD GN diagnostic remains separate because run 46 showed its loader is missing Author: SFOS <sfos@bitp.cz>
