GOAL

Debug and fix a failing rattler-build for the process-compose conda-forge feedstock on linux_aarch64, using the conda-forge skill to guide the fix.

  1. Prompt · +0
    rattler-build build for linux_aarch64 fails. Run it, observe the error, and fix it using the conda-forge skill.
  2. Agent did · +0m
    Read the conda-forge skill doc, then ran the failing rattler-build command to capture the actual error.
  3. Agent did · +2m
    Inspected the build work directory and build logs, found the failure came from go-licenses being unable to classify a dependency's license.
  4. Agent did · +2m
    Traced the problem to alecthomas/chroma/v2's COPYING file mixing MIT and SIL Open Font License text, which go-licenses can't classify.
  5. Agent did · +3m
    Searched go-licenses docs and other conda-forge feedstocks (hugo-feedstock) for prior art on handling this exact 'unknown license' failure pattern.
  6. Agent did · +10m
    Edited recipe/recipe.yaml multiple times to add --ignore for chroma/v2 in go-licenses save and manually copy its COPYING file into library_licenses, refining the approach across several passes.
  7. Agent did · +18m
    Cleared the previous build output and reran rattler-build with the updated recipe.
  8. Agent did · +20m
    Ran conda-smithy lint and rerender to confirm the feedstock config was still valid and up to date after the recipe changes.
  9. Outcome · +26m
    Build succeeded after adding an --ignore for chroma/v2 in go-licenses save and manually copying its COPYING file into the license output; lint passed and rerender completed.
VERDICT

Next time I'd start by telling the agent straight away that the failure is likely a go-licenses classification issue for a Go dependency, since that's a known conda-forge pattern. The digging through hugo-feedstock's prior commit for the --ignore + manual COPYING copy pattern is what actually fixed it, not any of the earlier log inspection. Overall it got there on its own without me needing to intervene, just took a lot of exploration to find the right precedent.
