This PR improves normalization in the interest of stabilizing the output of #460

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores

  • Updated the CI runner image used by benchmark, build, cache-promotion, and strict-build jobs.

• Tests

  • Test output is now normalized before sorting, including variable date and time macro values, for more consistent output.

Walkthrough

CI jobs now use an updated pinned runner image. The EDG output normalizer replaces matching date and time macro values with fixed placeholders. Seven tests run normalization before sorting.

Changes: CI Runner Image

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update CI runner image pins .github/workflows/build-and-test-ci.yml, .github/workflows/ci-toolchain.yml, .github/workflows/promote-test-cache.yml, .github/workflows/strict-build-check.yml	The benchmark, build, promote, and Linux GCC and Clang strict-build jobs now use the updated runner image digest.

EDG Test Output Normalization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalize EDG output before sorting dev_tools/pylibs/edgtest/filter/__init__.py, tests/tests/edg/cmeerw/gnats-*	Normalizer replaces matching quoted __DATE__ and __TIME__ values with fixed placeholders. Seven EDG tests apply output normalization before sorting.

Merge Risk: Low · up to b6a58

Test recordings could silently capture a normalizer error message instead of real output if the compiler path does not resolve. This only affects the developer test-recording workflow, not production behavior, so it can be merged with awareness.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to c6fa3

The changes preserve the existing execution boundaries and keep the CI image pinned to an exact digest. No introduced boundary bypass was identified. The replacement image’s contents and provenance were not established by the reviewed source.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The replacement runner image participates in producing build artifacts, test results, benchmarks, and promoted test-cache records. A compromised image could affect those outputs within existing job authority; the digest change alone does not establish such compromise or expanded authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The test-filter shell execution boundary predates this PR. The changed commands are fixed repository-controlled pipelines, while compiler output is passed as data. The reviewed workflow diff does not alter permissions; the toolchain workflow declares contents: read and disables persisted checkout credentials, while cache promotion declares contents: read and actions: read.

- Line 4: Update the edg-normalize-test-output pipeline in this test so a
normalizer failure prevents the runner from recording output, even when the
downstream sort command succeeds. Ensure the test harness detects the
normalizer’s failure independently of the pipeline’s final status.
