build: resolve Bazel Go deps through GOPROXY (#69503)

[ti-chi-bot]

This is an automated cherry-pick of #69503

Issue Number: close #69513

Summary

• change cmd/mirror to generate go_repository entries with sum and version instead of mirrored urls, sha256, and strip_prefix
• remove the pingcapmirror Go module upload path and deprecated bazel_mirror_upload
• regenerate DEPS.bzl so Bazel Go dependencies are resolved by rules_go through the configured Go module environment, e.g. GOPROXY=...|...,direct

Test Plan

• make tidy
• go test ./cmd/mirror
• PATH=/tmp/tidb-bazel-shim:$PATH make bazel_prepare
• PATH=/tmp/tidb-bazel-shim:$PATH make bazel_mirror_upload
• PATH=/tmp/tidb-bazel-shim:$PATH make lint
• git -c core.whitespace=-tab-in-indent diff --check
• verified DEPS.bzl has no pingcapmirror, cache.hawkingrei.com, urls, sha256, or strip_prefix entries for Go modules

Tests

• Unit test
• Integration test
• Manual test (add detailed scripts or steps below)

Release note

None

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Build Tools
  • Bazel mirror preparation targets no longer pass the legacy -- --mirror argument, and bazel_mirror skips validation checks.
  • bazel_mirror_upload no longer performs uploads; it displays a deprecation notice directing you to use bazel_mirror to regenerate DEPS.bzl.
  • The --mirror and --upload options remain accepted but are deprecated and ignored. Supplying either option prints a warning.
  • Mirror generation uses downloaded module versions and checksums, and reports an error when a required module is unavailable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The mirror generator now emits dependency metadata from downloaded modules. It no longer reads existing mirror artifacts or uploads files. Make targets invoke the generator without the former mode flags, and the upload target prints a deprecation notice.

Changes

Bazel mirror workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Generate repository entries from module metadata cmd/mirror/mirror.go, cmd/mirror/skylarkutil.go, cmd/mirror/BUILD.bazel, go.mod	The generator requires downloaded metadata for each effective module path and emits its sum and version. It no longer reads existing mirror artifacts or uploads files. The DEPS.bzl parser and Skylark dependency are removed. The --mirror and --upload flags remain accepted and are described as deprecated and ignored.
Wire Make targets to the mirror target Makefile	The preparation and mirror targets invoke Bazel without the former --mirror argument. bazel_mirror also disables run validations. The upload target prints a deprecation notice directing users to make bazel_mirror.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b3234

This change moves Bazel dependency generation to module sum and version metadata and removes the mirror upload path. No concrete merge-blocking risk was found in the supplied changes. The cherry-pick approval label is a process matter, not a code risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b3234

Go dependencies will be resolved through the configured proxy rather than pinned mirror URLs. The generator records checksums, but the proxy and checksum-exception policies across supported build environments are not established, so the supply-chain effect warrants review.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: The replacement dependency-resolution path relies on caller-provided proxy and checksum-exemption policy. The inspected invocation targets do not establish whether every supported build environment applies the intended policy; risk from a malicious proxy is conditional on that policy and on regeneration of dependency metadata.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The affected asset is the Go dependency set used by Bazel builds that invoke go_deps, rather than a newly exposed production request endpoint. The supported build environments and their effective proxy policies are not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Go downloads are performed with GOSUMDB set to sum.golang.org and copied module manifests, but the command does not set GOPROXY, GOPRIVATE, or GONOSUMDB. These controls do not establish the checksum policy of every invoking environment.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Temporary-output gating protects against ordinary generator failures, but interruption or concurrent execution during the existing copy step is not covered by atomic publication or serialization in the inspected target.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Document and enforce the allowed Go proxy, fallback, and checksum-exemption settings for supported build invocations; verify that regenerated dependency metadata is reviewed before adoption.

Cherry-pick conflicts appear resolved; removing the do-not-merge/hold label.

[wuhuizuo]

Resolved the conflicts left by the automated cherry-pick in b323435:

• dropped only github.com/google/skylark from go.mod / go.sum, keeping this branch's own module versions (the incoming side of the conflict carried master's newer versions, which do not belong here)
• removed the conflict markers in Makefile and cmd/mirror/mirror.go
• regenerated DEPS.bzl for this branch: the module set and every pinned version are identical to the previous file (890 entries vs 891, the difference being com_github_google_skylark), and Go modules are now pinned by sum + version instead of pingcapmirror / cache.hawkingrei.com urls + sha256 + strip_prefix.

The remaining do-not-merge/cherry-pick-not-approved label needs a triage-owner approval.

@CodeRabbit full review it again

[coderabbitai]

@wuhuizuo I’ll run a full review of #71695, including the conflict-resolution changes and regenerated DEPS.bzl.

FYI on the earlier pull-unit-test-next-gen failure (#9737): it is not related to this change.

The job died in Prepare bazel workspace with

GoLink build/tidb_nogo_actual_/tidb_nogo_actual [for tool] failed: Failed to fetch blobs because they do not exist remotely.:
Missing digest: 00348b9f.../1017150 for .../bin/build/tidb_nogo_actual~nogo.a

i.e. the GCS Bazel remote cache (pingcap-ci-bazel-remote-cache-us-central1) still had an action-cache entry for that link action while its CAS blob had already been removed. Every PR on release-nextgen-20251011 hit the exact same digest (e.g. #71679 in builds 9731/9718/9717, and #9512 back on 2026-09-22), so the branch CI was blocked independently of this cherry-pick.

The two stale ac/ objects referencing the missing blob were removed from the cache bucket, and /test pull-unit-test-next-gen was re-run: build 9739 re-executes the link action, re-uploads the blob, and gets past the gazelle step.
