A CustomRun connects Tekton to disposable macOS VMs, but choosing that integration means owning results, retries and cleanup after Tekton stops waiting, with runner integrations offering another…

A macOS build can run twice after an agent restart, and Tekton can time out before its VM is deleted. Recovery needs durable results, one retry owner and independent cleanup.
A host journal tracks macOS build outcomes separately from VM deletion, with seven pipeline runs covering success, failure, cancellation and environment rejection before cloning.
