Ruben Fiszel b656dc6cdc feat(nsjail): optional disk-backed /tmp via instance setting (#9272)
* feat(nsjail): optional disk-backed /tmp via instance setting

* test(nsjail): unit-test tmp mount resolver and narrow visibility

* refactor(nsjail): switch tmp backing to select + conditional UI

* ui(nsjail): make tmpfs the visible default in /tmp backing select

* fix(nsjail): refuse preexisting jail_tmp to block symlink escape

* fix(nsjail): allow jail_tmp reuse on sequential nsjail calls

Codex flagged that python/ruby/rust executors invoke nsjail twice per
job_dir (install then run). The previous resolver treated any preexisting
jail_tmp as hostile and silently fell back to tmpfs on the second call,
so disk-backed mode never reached the main script run for those langs.

Use symlink_metadata().is_dir() to distinguish a real directory left by
an earlier call in the same job_dir (safe to reuse) from a symlink or
other entity (still refused, as the codebase-tar escape requires).

Also loosen the frontend visibility predicate: only hide nsjail settings
when job_isolation is explicitly 'none' or 'unshare', so deployments
that enable nsjail via DISABLE_NSJAIL=false with no DB setting can
still see the controls.

Windmill Backend

This folder holds all backend components, the src/ folder only contains files used to build the "root" binary.

Components

name description
windmill-api The API server, exposing functionality to other components and the frontend
windmill-audit Contains audit functionality, allowing different components to record important actions
windmill-common Common code shared by all crates
windmill-queue Contains job & flow queuing functionality, commonly written to by the API server and read from by workers
windmill-worker The worker. Used to process and execute flows & jobs.
parsers Contains code to parse signatures in different langauges.
