For non-root git deps with a fresh artifactory build, probe the package server before cloning. On hit, populate build_dir from the artifactory zip and write a {build_dir}/mama_shim marker that records the URL/branch/tag/ hash/archive so subsequent runs detect the shim and skip the clone.

The commit hash is resolved via the existing Git.init_commit_hash() which already supports git ls-remote (no working tree needed). When the probe misses we fall back to the original clone path; did_check_artifactory is intentionally left unset on shim miss so the post-clone fetch can still pick up a mamafile-declared target.version.

Shim is read-only after fetch:

  • _execute_deploy_tasks short-circuits with a mama unshallow hint
  • _execute_run_tasks refuses test/start via _require_source()
  • mama open <shim> prints the same hint
  • papa_deploy_to refuses any destination containing a mama_shim marker (defense-in-depth for direct callers)
  • _should_build returns False for shims so configure/build never run
  • update_mamafile_tag / update_cmakelists_tag short-circuit
  • dirty() removes the marker so the next build re-evaluates

Tests cover the marker roundtrip, probe gating (noart / no artifactory / non-git / unresolved hash / fetch miss / fetch hit), the load-time wiring (clone skipped on hit, clone invoked on miss, noart bypass), the guards, and the BuildTarget-level deploy/require-source behavior. 27 new tests, all existing tests still pass.

Deferred (will follow up):

  • shim → real clone transition for mama unshallow (currently users can mama wipe and rebuild, which works via existing semantics)
  • explicit mama update re-probe path
  • target.version from src_dir/mamafile.py without a clone (sparse-checkout)

Pull request overview

This PR adds an “artifactory shim” path for non-root git dependencies so Mama can probe/fetch a prebuilt Artifactory package (resolved by git ls-remote commit hash) and skip an expensive clone when the package exists. It also makes shim-based deps read-only (deploy/run/build safeguards) and introduces a marker file ({build_dir}/mama_shim) to persist shim identity across runs.

Changes:

  • Add shim marker helpers to BuildDependency and a new try_load_artifactory_shim() probe path in mama.artifactory.
  • Wire the shim probe into BuildDependency._load() ahead of Git.dependency_checkout() and add shim-aware guards for build/deploy/run/open flows.
  • Add a new test suite covering marker roundtrip, probe gating, load integration (clone skipped vs invoked), and shim guards.

For non-root git deps with a fresh artifactory build, probe the package
server before cloning. On hit, populate build_dir from the artifactory zip
and write a {build_dir}/mama_shim marker that records the URL/branch/tag/
hash/archive so subsequent runs detect the shim and skip the clone.

The commit hash is resolved via the existing Git.init_commit_hash() which
already supports `git ls-remote` (no working tree needed). When the probe
misses we fall back to the original clone path; `did_check_artifactory`
is intentionally left unset on shim miss so the post-clone fetch can
still pick up a mamafile-declared `target.version`.

Shim is read-only after fetch:
- `_execute_deploy_tasks` short-circuits with a `mama unshallow` hint
- `_execute_run_tasks` refuses `test`/`start` via `_require_source()`
- `mama open <shim>` prints the same hint
- `papa_deploy_to` refuses any destination containing a mama_shim marker
  (defense-in-depth for direct callers)
- `_should_build` returns False for shims so configure/build never run
- `update_mamafile_tag` / `update_cmakelists_tag` short-circuit
- `dirty()` removes the marker so the next build re-evaluates

Tests cover the marker roundtrip, probe gating (noart / no artifactory /
non-git / unresolved hash / fetch miss / fetch hit), the load-time wiring
(clone skipped on hit, clone invoked on miss, noart bypass), the guards,
and the BuildTarget-level deploy/require-source behavior. 27 new tests,
all existing tests still pass.

Deferred (will follow up):
- shim → real clone transition for `mama unshallow` (currently users can
  `mama wipe` and rebuild, which works via existing semantics)
- explicit `mama update` re-probe path
- `target.version` from src_dir/mamafile.py without a clone (sparse-checkout)
When network is down, the first git ls-remote or HTTP fetch to fail with
a clearly network-related error (timeout, DNS, connection refused) sets a
global `config._network_available = False`. All subsequent operations
check this flag and skip instantly instead of each waiting for their own
timeout (previously: N deps × 5s = 50s wasted blocking).

Only true network errors trigger the flag. Authentication failures (SSH
key rejected, HTTP 401/403) and HTTP 404 are explicitly excluded so that
misconfigured credentials don't silently disable all network access.

Guard points:
- Git.init_commit_hash: skip ls-remote if flag set
- Git.fetch_origin: skip fetch/pull if flag set
- Git.clone_or_pull: skip pull (use cached source) if flag set;
  fail clearly if clone needed but network unavailable
- _fetch_package: skip HTTP download if flag set

The `is_network_error(e)` classifier lives in mama/util.py and handles
subprocess.TimeoutExpired, urllib URLError/HTTPError, socket errors,
OSError with network errno, and git error message patterns.

Behavior by command:
- `mama build` with full cache: zero network ops, zero cost
- `mama build` first time: first dep times out (5s), flag set, rest
  fail fast with "network unavailable" message
- `mama update`: first dep times out, flag set, rest use cached state
