fix: fall back from file to personal only on a machine-binding mismatch - #258
Conversation
Supersedes #255 (v0.1.55): that release unconditionally preferred personal activation over a license file whenever both a .ulf and full account credentials were present, forcing --unityLicensingMethod statically before any script ran. It fixed "Machine bindings don't match" for the Unity versions that hit it, but broke activation outright on older ones - confirmed live against MirrorNetworking/ Mirror: 2020.3.49f1's file-mode activation had been succeeding the whole time (it's in the very first pre-fix CI run, before any of this session's changes), and broke only after v0.1.55 forced it onto personal instead, whose Unity.Licensing.Client 1.12.1 (bundled with that Unity version) doesn't recognise --activate-all/--include-personal at all - those flags exist only in a newer client (1.18.3, bundled with 6000.6.0f1, which is exactly where machine-binding activation fails). A static, version-blind preference cannot get both cases right at once - whichever way it defaults, some Unity version's already-working setup breaks. The real fix has to be reactive, not a static up-front choice: try `file` first, unconditionally - so every setup that already worked, on any Unity version, keeps working exactly as before - and fall back to `personal` only when that fails with the one specific, recognisable "Machine bindings don't match" signature, which is the only case that was ever actually broken. Implemented in each platform's own activate.{sh,ps1} rather than centrally, reusing each platform's existing personal-activation retry loop inline. A successful fallback sets GAME_CI_ACTIVATED_VIA=personal so return_license.{sh,ps1} returns the seat it actually consumed instead of leaking it - the static env vars alone would still resolve to `file` (nothing to return) and silently leak a real personal seat. Verified this persists correctly across each platform's actual process/scope boundary: bash sources activate.sh and return_license.sh in the same shell session (runsteps.sh), and while entrypoint.ps1 invokes each Windows container step with `&` rather than dot-sourcing, $Env: variables are process-wide regardless, so they still carry over. licensing-method.ts's TypeScript-side preferPersonalOverFile is removed entirely, along with its cli.ts call site - this needed to be a runtime, activation-log-reactive decision, which only the platform scripts can make. Test plan: - 10 new bash cases (scripts/test-licensing-steps.sh, run against a stub Unity.Licensing.Client/unity-editor): the fallback engages and succeeds on the exact failure signature with credentials available; does not engage without credentials (still reports the original failure); does not engage for a different, unrelated failure; and a successful fallback resolves the return strategy to personal. - 2 new PowerShell cases per script set (container + steps, both now covered by scripts/test-licensing-steps.ps1) verifying the return strategy honours GAME_CI_ACTIVATED_VIA. - bash scripts/test-licensing-steps.sh: 47/47 pass - pwsh scripts/test-licensing-steps.ps1: 34/34 pass - bash scripts/validate-platform-scripts.sh: clean - bun test ./src: same 2 pre-existing, unrelated failures as clean main (confirmed via stash-and-compare), no regressions - node scripts/generate-embedded-assets.mjs --check: clean Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <[email protected]>

Addresses CodeRabbit feedback on #258: the existing assertions prove personal activation ran and succeeded, but not that unity-editor (the file attempt) ran first - a regression that skipped straight to personal could satisfy them by emitting the same fallback output. Checking the first ARGV_LOG line is EDITOR makes the file-first contract explicit instead of relying on it indirectly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <[email protected]>
