This skill addresses the fragility and resource contention of macOS CI environments by providing isolated, disposable, and cached virtual machine lanes that prevent build-dir churn and host-level corruption.
Use the tart-ci skill to provision a new golden VM image for the current repository using the existing manifest.

To set up ephemeral macOS CI runners using Tart virtualization, this skill orchestrates the deployment of isolated VMs on Apple Silicon. It automatically mints and destroys just-in-time GitHub Actions runners for every job to ensure a pristine build environment.
Managing versioned golden VM images for CI provisioning is handled by Tart to store layered snapshots. This approach allows rapid, cached deployment of build environments and enables quick refreshes of toolchains across cross-platform development lanes.
Host-mounted caching for macOS GitHub Actions runners works by sharing ccache and dependencies between host and guest via virtio-fs. This mechanism optimizes build times by preventing redundant downloads across ephemeral virtual machine lanes.
Yes, you need Apple Silicon hardware to run isolated macOS CI lanes with Tart. The skill specifically utilizes Tart virtualization on Apple Silicon to satisfy requirements for reproducible builds and ODR-safe environments.
Using ephemeral virtual machines for macOS CI prevents build-dir churn and host-level corruption common with persistent runners. Disposable, isolated lanes provide reproducible builds while optimizing resource utilization on the host machine.
