Struct KernelBuildResult 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct KernelBuildResult {
    pub entry: Option<CacheEntry>,
    pub image_path: PathBuf,
    pub post_build_is_dirty: bool,
}

Result of the post-acquisition kernel build pipeline.

Returned by kernel_build_pipeline so callers can inspect the cache entry and built image path.

Fields (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive structs could have additional fields added in future. Therefore, non-exhaustive structs cannot be constructed in external crates using the traditional Struct { .. } syntax; cannot be matched against without a wildcard ..; and struct update syntax will not work.

entry: Option<CacheEntry>

Cache entry, if the build was cached. None for dirty trees or when cache store fails.

image_path: PathBuf

Path to the built kernel image.

post_build_is_dirty: bool

Whether the source tree was dirty as observed by the build pipeline. true if either the acquire-time inspection reported dirty OR the post-build re-check observed a mid-build mutation (worktree edit, branch flip, mid-build commit). The downstream label decoration in cargo-ktstr’s resolve_one uses this to append _dirty so a non-reproducible run is distinguishable from a clean rebuild of the same path.
