feat(bootstrapper): write partial-failures.json for multi-version mode

[ryanpetrello]

Summary

• Write partial-failures.json to work-dir/ when multi-version bootstrap has package failures
• Exit code stays 0 (the expected behavior with multi-version bootstrap is enabled)

This change gives analysis tools the metadata necessary to detect soft failures without manually parsing logs/stdout

Test plan

• Report written when multi-version has failures
• No report when zero failures
• No report when multiple_versions=False
• Existing tests pass

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The bootstrapper now stores failed versions as exception and phase-detail tuples. It updates failure logging and filtering for this structure. During multi-version finalization, it writes unresolved failures to partial-failures.json with package, version, phase, error type, and message. Tests cover report creation, unresolved failures, omission conditions, stale report removal, and tuple-based assertions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a448c

Combined test-mode and multi-version bootstraps may omit build-related failures from partial-failures.json, which could cause CI to treat incomplete package builds as fully successful. This reporting correctness concern should be resolved before merge.

Example of this change while attempting to build uv in a container that doesn't have the rust toolchain:

~ podman run --rm -v ~/dev/fromager:/fromager:ro python:3.12 bash -c '
mkdir -p /tmp/test && cd /tmp/test
pip install -q /fromager 2>&1 | tail -3
fromager \
  --work-dir ./work-dir \
  --sdists-repo ./sdists-repo \
  --wheels-repo ./wheels-repo \
  bootstrap \
  --full-build \
  --multiple-versions \
  --max-release-age 7 \
  "uv" 2>&1 | tail -15
echo "=== EXIT CODE: $? ==="
echo "=== partial-failures.json ==="
cat work-dir/partial-failures.json 2>/dev/null || echo "Not found"
' 2>&1

...and the partial failures:

=== partial-failures.json ===
{
  "failures": [
    {
      "name": "uv==0.12.9",
      "phase": "failed during prepare-source phase",
      "error_type": "FileNotFoundError",
      "message": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cargo'"
    },
    {
      "name": "uv==0.12.8",
      "phase": "failed during prepare-source phase",
      "error_type": "FileNotFoundError",
      "message": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cargo'"
    },
    {
      "name": "uv==0.12.7",
      "phase": "failed during prepare-source phase",
      "error_type": "FileNotFoundError",
      "message": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cargo'"
    }
  ]
}

For examples' sake, let's say we try in an environment that has cargo but not rustc and then try again. This new artifact explains which versions failed, and in what phase:

=== partial-failures.json ===
{
  "failures": [
    {
      "name": "maturin==1.15.0",
      "phase": "failed during build phase",
      "error_type": "CalledProcessError",
      "message": "Command '['/tmp/test/work-dir/maturin-1.15.0/build-3.12.14/bin/python3', '/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pyproject_hooks/_in_process/_in_process.py', 'build_wheel', '/tmp/tmp6kd4b_50']' returned non-zero exit status 1."
    },
    {
      "name": "uv==0.12.9",
      "phase": "failed during prepare-build phase",
      "error_type": "CalledProcessError",
      "message": "Command '['uv', 'pip', 'install', '--verbose', '--upgrade', '--only-binary', ':all:', '--index-url', 'http://127.0.0.1:36053/simple/', '--trusted-host', '127.0.0.1', 'maturin<2.0,>=1.0']' returned non-zero exit status 1."
    },
    {
      "name": "uv==0.12.8",
      "phase": "failed during prepare-build phase",
      "error_type": "CalledProcessError",
      "message": "Command '['uv', 'pip', 'install', '--verbose', '--upgrade', '--only-binary', ':all:', '--index-url', 'http://127.0.0.1:36053/simple/', '--trusted-host', '127.0.0.1', 'maturin<2.0,>=1.0']' returned non-zero exit status 1."
    },
    {
      "name": "uv==0.12.7",
      "phase": "failed during prepare-build phase",
      "error_type": "CalledProcessError",
      "message": "Command '['uv', 'pip', 'install', '--verbose', '--upgrade', '--only-binary', ':all:', '--index-url', 'http://127.0.0.1:36053/simple/', '--trusted-host', '127.0.0.1', 'maturin<2.0,>=1.0']' returned non-zero exit status 1."
    }
  ]
}

...and (as you'd expect), bootstrap.log explain the "why" for maturin:

...running build_ext\nrunning build_rust\nerror: can't find Rust compiler\n\nIf you are using an outdated pip version, it is possible a prebuilt wheel is available for this package but pip is not able to install from it. Installing from the wheel would avoid the need for a Rust compiler.\n\nTo update pip, run:\n\n    pip install --upgrade pip\n\nand then retry package installation.\n\nIf you did intend to build this package from source, try installing a Rust compiler from your system package manager and ensure it is on the PATH during installation. Alternatively, rustup (available at https://rustup.rs) is the recommended way to download and update the Rust compiler toolchain.

1002-1005: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Record combined-mode build failures in _failed_versions.

The CLI accepts --test-mode and --multiple-versions together. In _handle_phase_error, the test_mode branch records build-related failures only in failed_packages and returns before _record_failed_version. If no resolution failure occurs, finalize() removes partial-failures.json, so the partial report omits these failures. Record the resolved version in _failed_versions for PrepareSource, PrepareBuild, and Build failures, and add a regression test.

This looks good! Thank you for adding this. I will let @LalatenduMohanty do a final review since he requested changes.

[LalatenduMohanty]

@ryanpetrello #1314 (review) seems to be a valid issue.
here is the code flow

1. A build phase fails, such as PrepareSource, PrepareBuild, or Build.
2. _handle_phase_error() checks self.test_mode first at src/fromager/bootstrapper/_bootstrapper.py:987.
3. Test mode tries a prebuilt fallback.
4. If fallback fails or is unavailable, it calls record_test_mode_failure() and returns at line 1005.
5. The later if self.multiple_versions: branch is never reached, so _failed_versions is not populated.
6. finalize() writes partial-failures.json only when _failed_versions is non-empty at src/fromager/bootstrapper/_bootstrapper.py:1121.

Therefore, with both flags enabled:

--test-mode --multiple-versions

With both flags enabled, a build-phase failure that has no successful prebuilt fallback is recorded in the timestamped test-mode report but not in partial-failures.json.

If another resolution failure exists, the partial report may still be created, but it will still omit the build-phase failure.

@LalatenduMohanty I believe I've addressed your remaining feedback.

[LalatenduMohanty]

@ryanpetrello Thanks. There is one thing remaining which I somehow missed in my previous review,
The new partial-failures.json artifact is not documented ( also docs/proposals/test-mode.md still says multi-version output is “Logs only")

I am fine if you want to do that in a follow up PR.
