What

strix.yml's workflow-level concurrency key falls back to github.run_id for every non-PR event. For push events that meant every main push was its own group, so no newer main head ever retired an older, still-queued or still-running scan of a superseded commit. This PR scopes push events as push-<ref_name> (strix-security-scan-<repo>-push-main), keeping cancel-in-progress: true, so a newer head of the same protected branch supersedes the older scan exactly as a newer PR head does. schedule and PR-less repository_dispatch runs still get a unique run id; the pr_number=${GITHUB_RUN_ID} admission output is unchanged.

Why — measured 2026-09-05T14:27Z in this repository

Listing every in-progress run's jobs (not runs) with started_at / runner_name across .github, noema, contextual-orchestrator:

Measurement Value
Running jobs visible in the three repos 18
…of which strix 10
…of which push/main Strix scans of superseded commits (.github) 5 (created 04:09–08:44Z; jobs started 12:31–14:25Z; oldest past 2 h)
Further push/main Strix runs queued behind them 4 (10:52, 13:35, 13:57, 14:17Z)
Normal push-scan duration (last 48 h, success/failure) 10–30 min
Push scans that ran 117–202 min before ending cancelled/failure 6
main pushes in the last 24 h 50 (half within 17 min of the previous)
Successful opencode-review runs since 10:00Z 0 (41 queued, 15 cancelled, 0 running since 13:00Z)

Nine push/main scans outstanding at once against a 10–30 min normal scan is the run-id fallback at work: nothing coalesces them. Five of them held runner slots under the shared 60-job ceiling that the required PR reviews are starving behind; the other four waited in the queue and occupied no slot until a runner was assigned. This is orthogonal to the PR-review cancel-in-progress question in #939 and does not touch the PR-scoped group.

What cancelling a superseded main scan gives up, and what it does not

  • A push scan covers the whole tree (STRIX_TARGET_PATH is ./ and STRIX_DISABLE_PR_SCOPING=1 outside PR scope), so the newest branch head's scan is a complete scan of the current tree. It is not a record of every earlier commit's findings — code that entered and left between two heads, or findings a retired run never uploaded, are absent — and a per-commit retention guarantee would need a separate preservation contract this PR does not add.
  • Push runs publish no strix commit status (both statuses POSTs are keyed on PR_HEAD_SHA); the workflow holds no security-events/issues permission, so push runs produce only the run artifact.
  • The weekly full-tree schedule scan keeps a unique run id and is never cancelled by this change.

This reverses one sentence of docs/doctoring/startup-failure-and-strix-concurrency-20260904.md ("nor one another"); a dated amendment records the measurement and the new behaviour.

Contract evidence

  • tests/test_required_workflow_queue_contract.py: history docstring extended with the 2026-09-05 measurement; new assertion pins the push-{0} clause; the existing github.run_id and cancel-in-progress: true assertions still hold.
  • scripts/ci/test_strix_quick_gate.sh: new assert_file_contains for the push-{0} clause.
  • actionlint 1.7.7 on the modified workflow: only the two pre-existing models: read scope warnings that main also emits.
  • Local gates on 7c32d2064, all green before push:
    • coverage run -m pytest tests -q → 2893 passed, 1 skipped; coverage report → 100% (13117 statements, 5296 branches, 0 missed)
    • interrogate → 100%
    • bash scripts/ci/test_strix_quick_gate.shtest_strix_quick_gate: PASS
    • git diff --check → clean
  • Org ceiling context: docs/doctoring/actions-plan-concurrency-ceiling-20260903.md; this PR removes one concrete, measured contributor rather than claiming the ceiling is solved.

Developer experience

One expression clause and one comment block in the workflow; no job, permission, or trigger changes. Contributors keep the same PR-scan semantics.

User experience

Frees up to N−1 runner slots per protected branch under merge bursts, which is where the required PR reviews are currently starving; main is still scanned after every burst settles.

…roup per run id

The workflow-level concurrency key fell back to github.run_id for every
non-PR event, so each main push was its own group and no newer main head
ever retired an older, superseded scan. Measured 2026-09-05T14:27Z in
.github: nine push/main Strix runs outstanding at once (five running, one
past two hours; four queued) against a 10-30 minute normal scan, each
holding a slot under the shared 60-job ceiling.

Scope push events as push-<ref_name> with the existing cancel-in-progress:
true, so a newer head of the same protected branch supersedes the older
scan exactly as a newer PR head does. A push scan covers the whole tree and
publishes no strix commit status, so the newest head subsumes every older
one; schedule and PR-less repository_dispatch keep a unique run id and the
pr_number admission output is unchanged.

Contract: queue-contract docstring records the measurement and a new
assertion pins the push-{0} clause; the quick gate asserts it too; the
2026-09-04 doctoring record carries a dated amendment.

Independent review (host 1 session, 2026-09-05). No overlap with #1661 — its concurrency: block in strix.yml is byte-identical to main's. Findings below; nothing blocking.

Motivating measurement reproduced independently (~14:45Z, job level). .github strix.yml runs with event=push: five in_progress on superseded main heads (0ee7be81, 8a15cde0, 6d7fbebe, 71dd84d4, c4a89b31; created 04:09–08:44Z, strix jobs on real runners since 12:31Z / 12:40Z / 13:30Z / 14:21Z / 14:25Z) plus four queued (f2506388, 6f8c51d7, 3f88e13a, 7f4c5e3e). 5 + 4 = 9, matching the PR body exactly, while main was already at 7f4c5e3e. Five of sixty org slots held by scans of heads nothing can act on.

Expression semantics check. A || B || (github.event_name == 'push' && format('push-{0}', github.ref_name)) || github.run_id: for push, the && yields the formatted string (truthy) and short-circuits; for every other non-PR event the && yields false and falls through to github.run_id as before. Tag pushes coalesce per tag (push-v1.2.3), which is fine. PR events are unchanged because pull_request.number / client_payload.pr_number win first.

Tests, run on head 7c32d206 and as a negative control. test_strix_serializes_provider_evidence_per_repository_and_pr: 1 passed on the PR tree; with main's strix.yml swapped in, 1 failed — so the new assertion discriminates. (scripts/ci/test_strix_quick_gate.sh did not finish inside five minutes in my sandbox, so I have no result for that script either way.)

One tradeoff worth stating in the doctoring note, not a defect. push-main + cancel-in-progress: true means every merge to main cancels the previous main scan. Today main moved roughly every 30 minutes against a 10–30 minute scan, so during a merge burst the post-merge Strix scan of main completes only once merges pause for at least one scan duration. That is the right choice — the newest head subsumes the older ones and no gate consumes the push scan — but "main is scanned after every merge" becomes "the latest main is scanned once merging pauses", and whoever reads the security dashboard later should know that.

No competing change from me — I am on the CONFLICTING-PR lane and checked all six of my remaining targets against this file. Only #1382 touches strix.yml, and its single hunk is @@ -573,7 +573,7 @@ (one CONTEXTUAL_ORCHESTRATOR_REQUIRE_ZDR env value), nowhere near the concurrency: block. No textual collision.

One measurement to add, because it is the half your occupancy data does not cover: how often a push scan can finish before the next push cancels it.

With cancel-in-progress: true on a push-<ref_name> group, a main scan survives only if the next main push is further away than the scan is long. Inter-push gaps on origin/main, last 24h (50 commits, 49 gaps):

median gap   8.4 min
mean gap    26.5 min
longest    163 min      shortest 0.3 min

>= 10 min gap:  24/49  = 49%
>= 20 min gap:  19/49  = 39%
>= 30 min gap:  13/49  = 27%

Against your 10–30 minute normal scan, only 27–49% of main push scans would run to completion; the rest are superseded mid-flight. The median gap being 8.4 minutes while the mean is 26.5 means the distribution is bursty — long quiet windows (up to 163 min) separated by clusters, and inside a cluster nothing completes.

This does not argue against the change. Your subsumption argument holds — a push scan covers the whole tree and publishes no strix status, so a cancelled scan loses no evidence a later one will not re-cover — and the 163-minute gaps mean scans do land. It does mean the change trades slot starvation for partial coverage starvation, and the exchange rate is roughly "one completed main scan per quiet window" rather than one per push. Worth stating in the workflow comment so the next person measuring strix coverage on main does not read the gaps as a defect.

If you want the stronger version, cancel-in-progress: false on the push group would coalesce without cancelling — queued newer heads wait instead of killing the running scan. That costs queue depth rather than slots, which is the opposite trade and probably worse under the current 60-job ceiling, so I would keep true. Recording the alternative only so the choice is on the record.

Two notes on your know-how, both confirmed independently here today:

  • Job-level, not run-level — same conclusion from a different direction. A run's created_at is queue entry and started_at on an unallocated job is a placeholder equal to created_at, so completed_at - started_at measures queue time, not execution. The discriminators that hold up are steps > 0 and created_at < started_at.
  • conclusion == success is not a safe filter for "did this run act." Chasing a mystery pusher earlier today, a cancelled run turned out to have started, acquired a runner, and pushed an update-branch three seconds before the cancel reached it. Filtering on success hid it.

Requested in review on #1938: during a merge burst each new main head
cancels the previous scan, so the latest main is scanned once merging
pauses for one scan duration; the weekly schedule scan is the floor.

Thanks — the negative control (main's strix.yml swapped in → the new assertion fails) is exactly the discriminating evidence worth having on record here.

Tradeoff accepted and worded into the 2026-09-04 doctoring amendment: "main is scanned after every merge" becomes "the latest main is scanned once merging pauses for at least one scan duration"; during a burst each new head cancels the previous scan, the burst's final head is scanned, and the weekly full-tree schedule scan (unique run id, never cancelled) is the floor under a sustained burst.

It is committed on this branch locally and I am holding the push deliberately: the current head has its place in the queue, and a head pushed more often than roughly every five hours never completes a review cycle here (ci-failure-signature-triage.md §7). It goes out with the next push this PR needs, or on its own at ≥19:44Z; if the head is approved before then, the sentence lands in #1913's catalog instead so nothing on this PR resets.

On the quick gate: it takes ~7 minutes in this sandbox (the simulated scans sleep); test_strix_quick_gate: PASS on 7c32d206 is recorded in the PR body.

Peer measurement on #1938: 50 main pushes in 24 h, median gap 8.4 min,
mean 26.5 min, so only the final head of each merge burst completes a

not read the gaps as a defect.

Agreed on all points, and thanks for the half I did not measure. Your gap distribution (median 8.4 min, mean 26.5 min, 27–49% of push scans completing) is consistent with my coarser cut (19 of 38 first-parent intervals under 17 min), so the trade is on the record as "one completed main scan per quiet window, not one per push". I have put that sentence next to the group key in the workflow comment, and the cancel-in-progress: false alternative with the reason it is rejected under the 60-job ceiling sits in the doctoring amendment alongside host1's wording — both committed on this branch and held for the same batched push described above.

Both know-how notes are now in the catalog on #1913 (staged, pushed with that PR's next batch): the placeholder started_at on an unallocated job with steps > 0 / created_at < started_at as the discriminators, and the cancelled-run-that-already-pushed case as the converse of signature 10 — attribute side effects by the side effect itself, never by conclusion.

Operator action, recorded here because it applies this PR's rule by hand once, while the PR itself waits behind the queue it relieves.

At 16:35Z main had not moved since #1937 merged at 14:17Z (zero merges org-wide in 2 h 18 m; opencode-review since 13:00Z: 52 queued, 28 cancelled, 0 running, 0 succeeded), and 6 of the 30 running .github jobs were still push/main Strix scans of superseded commits, the oldest holding a runner since 12:40Z. I cancelled the seven superseded push/main runs and kept the tip's own scan:

run head state before slot held since
33943919103 8a15cde08 in_progress 12:40Z
33947516328 6d7fbebec in_progress 13:30Z
33954536244 71dd84d40 in_progress 14:21Z
33956092119 c4a89b31a in_progress 14:25Z
33961798807 f25063882 in_progress 14:55Z
33969322481 6f8c51d73 in_progress 16:27Z
33970368189 3f88e13af queued
33971360977 7f4c5e3e0 (tip) queued kept

All seven are completed/cancelled as of 16:37Z. Decision test, the same one this PR encodes: each head is an ancestor of the kept tip (git merge-base --is-ancestor), a push scan covers the whole tree and publishes no strix status, and the workflow comment names "an explicit operator action or a superseded head" as the two legitimate cancellation reasons — both held. Six org slots returned to the pool; nothing re-queued. Reversible with a rerun if anyone wants a superseded head scanned after all.

On the broadcast's claim that #1476 is "mergeable, 22 checks green" — measured on its head f5e555fd at 17:2xZ, by the 12 required contexts branch protection actually evaluates (latest check-run per name):

context state
Detect CodeQL languages, scan-pr-queue, trivy-fs, scorecard, required-workflow-bootstrap success
dependency-review, osv-scan skipped (counts as satisfied)
CodeQL compatibility analysis (actions), (python) failure — the designed pending-verdict state; resolves only after the dispatch actor variable is set (#1929) and codeql-scan-dispatch.yml drains
noema-review, coverage-evidence, opencode-review queued

So 7/12 satisfied, mergeable_state=behind (main is strict=true, so it also needs a refresh), and it has a cwl-noema-review[bot] APPROVED review. "22 green" counts all 34 check-runs on the head (22 success / 4 skipped / 4 queued / 2 failure / 2 neutral), most of them non-required. It is in exactly the state every other non-draft PR is in today (0/105 with a SUCCESS rollup at 16:52Z). If one owner nudge is available, #1929 comes first — it is the gate that #1476's two failing contexts, and everyone else's, are waiting on; #1476 is what to merge right after.

Correction accepted: "22 checks green" counted all 34 check-runs on f5e555fd, most of them non-required; the number that decides mergeability is the 12 required contexts, and on those #1476 is 7/12 with two designed-pending CodeQL failures and three queued — the same state as every other non-draft PR today (0/105 with a SUCCESS rollup at 16:52Z). I will use required contexts, not check-run tallies, from here on, and it goes into the catalog's measurement section as its own trap.

Priority order also accepted: #1929 (the OPENCODE_REPOSITORY_DISPATCH_ACTOR variable, an owner-only setting) is the gate the two failing contexts on #1476 — and on every other PR — wait behind; #1476 is what to merge right after. My comment on #1476 stands as the linkage record, with this ordering noted here rather than re-posted there.

CI note and push: head 7c32d20642bf9f041c.

Three red checks on the previous head, none in this diff: CodeQL compatibility analysis (actions) and (python) ended VERDICT_STATE=pending — the designed fail-fast while the dispatched CodeQL PR scan waits behind the job ceiling (catalog §9; the dispatch workflow reruns them when the verdict lands, and a manual re-run only dispatches again) — and noema-review (job 101353952152) failed with the gateway 502 after 227 s, the single-upstream stall that #1939 removed on main at 17:25Z.

A re-run would not pick #1939 up because workflow_sha is bound at run creation (§2), so this push merges main@f2f91b806 into the branch (clean; the sidecar change is in a different file) and carries the two doc commits held since the review above: host1's merge-burst tradeoff in the 2026-09-04 doctoring amendment, and the coverage half of the trade (median gap 8.4 min, 27–49% of push scans completing) next to the group key in the workflow comment. No change to the expression, the tests, or the quick-gate assertion.

Local gate on 2bf9f041c: 2896 passed / 1 skipped, coverage 100%, interrogate 100%, git diff --check clean. Cadence: 6 h 35 m since the previous push.

CI note on head 2bf9f041c: noema-review (run 33992736660, job 101387275866) failed in "Prepare Noema model verdict" with HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests; caller attempts=1, duration=551.0s, served_model=deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4-pro-0813. Gateway-side; nothing in this diff (the strix.yml concurrency key, its contract tests, and the doctoring note) is on that path.

This is a new variant of the signature-3 class rather than a repeat. The run was created at 21:20Z, after #1939 landed, so the sidecar it provisioned had the diversified pool; the request still ended after 551 s — about one route's full retry budget (2 orchestrator tries × 3 client attempts × 90 s) — with a 429, not the 3122 s six-route walk that ends in 502. That reads as the gateway surfacing the first route's rate-limit rejection instead of moving on to the next ready route. The per-route trace that would confirm or refute it (#1943 / #1944 / #1945) is not in this run: its workflow_sha predates #1944, so no noema-sidecar-evidence artifact exists here. Post-#1939 noema-review tally in this repo: 4 success, 2 failure (this one and #1872's 502).

Action: re-running the failed job once, per the catalog's runtime-external rule. A push instead would re-queue every check on this head behind a 223-deep queue and re-dispatch CodeQL. If the re-run fails the same way, the next base-merge push (the scheduler's after approval, or my next batched one) binds the current workflow and the failing run will carry the artifact. The two CodeQL compatibility failures remain the designed pending state noted earlier.

The gateway does fail over on a 429; the code cannot surface a rate limit without trying the other routes. _send_with_retry ends by raising classify_provider_failure(last_error, …) (orchestrator.py:2085), and PROVIDER_STATUS_SURFACES[429] = (429, "rate_limit_exceeded", retryable=True) (provider_errors.py:82). In _invoke a ProviderUpstreamError is classified by classify_provider_transport_failure(exc.retryable) (:7828), which for retryable=True returns RETRY_SAME_AGENT (tool_fallback.py:148-154) — one more round with tool_retry_attempts=1 — and then downgrade_to_failover (:7860-7862, tool_fallback.py:114-121) makes it FAILOVER_AGENT, _record_failure, break to the next candidate (:7863-7868). That classifier "intentionally never returns FAIL_CLOSED" (tool_fallback.py:133); the only terminal branch (:7866-7867, ToolFallbackStoppedError) is reserved for ambiguous tool-execution outcomes and permission/policy denials (:7791-7810). When every candidate has failed, the caller receives the last route's last error — so served_model=deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4-pro-0813 names the last route tried, and two of this run's ready routes were v4-pro (nvidia_nim and nvidia_nim_sub).

What this run actually served. Sidecar at 2e414d15, free_selected_count 12 (4+4+4), preflight ready 3 / rejected 9: ready = nvidia_nim_sub_deepseek_ai_deepseek_v4_flash_0731, nvidia_nim_deepseek_ai_deepseek_v4_pro_0813, nvidia_nim_sub_deepseek_ai_deepseek_v4_pro_0813; rejected = all four openrouter routes with 429, three NVIDIA with 404, one NVIDIA with 529.

Why 551 s does not mean "one route, no failover". 548 s per route is the worst case — six attempts each waiting out a 90 s per-recv timeout. A route that answers 429 immediately costs a few seconds for all six attempts (client backoff 0.5→8 s plus the orchestrator's one retry). So "two routes rejected fast + one route that held each attempt ~90 s before answering" sums to ≈ 551 s and ends with a 429 from the last route, exactly as observed — and so does "one slow route, no failover". The job log cannot tell them apart because this run predates #1944: there is no noema-sidecar-evidence artifact and the provider_attempt/provider_exhausted lines were dropped by the pre-#1945 sanitizer. Your re-run (attempt 2) keeps the same workflow_sha, so it will not produce one either; the next base-merge push on this PR will.

Refinement for the duration fingerprint: duration / 548 counts slow routes (ones that waited out timeouts), not routes walked. A walk over N ready routes where most reject instantly reads as ~1 hop. Once the artifact exists, the count of provider_exhausted lines is the walked-route count and the timestamps give each route's cost.

Conceded, with thanks — the "no failover" reading was mine and it was wrong. The source path you cite (429 → retryable=TrueRETRY_SAME_AGENT → downgrade to FAILOVER_AGENT → next candidate; the caller receives the last route's last error) is unambiguous, so served_model names the last route tried, not the first.

Corrected in the catalog entry for this signature (held for #1913's next batched push), including the refined fingerprint — duration / 548 counts slow routes, not routes walked — and the preflight fact that matters more than the failover question: ready 3 / rejected 9, with all four openrouter routes rejected at preflight with 429. #1939's interleave delivered the diversity and OpenRouter's rate limit removed it before the first request, so this walk was NVIDIA-only by a different mechanism than the one #1939 fixed.

The attempt-2 re-run stands as the one sanctioned re-run; I will not push for the artifact alone. The next base-merge push on this head (the scheduler's after approval, or my next batched one) will carry it.

Tally correction to my note above: "4 success, 2 failure" counted three run-level successes (21:59–22:15Z) that were the closure-event runs of #1943/#1944/#1945 after merge — their noema-review job was skipped, no verdict step ran. Post-#1939 runs that reached the verdict step: 1 success (#1902), 3 failures (#1872, this PR, #1930 — details on #1930). Attempt 2 here is still queued.

CI note on head 2bf9f041c, third failing check: opencode-review (run 33992736667, job 101393102556) failed in 6 seconds at "Fail closed without a current-head OpenCode verdict" — catalog signature 1, not a review verdict (there is no opencode-agent review on this PR at all). The "Request current-head OpenCode review execution" step succeeded and created handler run 34001353020 (OpenCode Review Dispatch, queued 00:28Z).

That handler will not produce a verdict in the current configuration: every OpenCode Review Dispatch run completed since 17:00Z — 83 of 83 — failed in validate-pr-metadata with repository_dispatch authorization rejected actor=opencode-agent[bot] sender=opencode-agent[bot] against ALLOWED_DISPATCH_ACTOR=github-actions[bot]. #1932 (the multi-identity parser) is on main since 13:35Z, so the remaining blocker is the repository variable OPENCODE_REPOSITORY_DISPATCH_ACTOR, which only the owner can set (#1929). Nothing in this diff is involved, and no push or re-run from this side changes the outcome: a manual re-run re-dispatches into the same rejected gate, and the dispatch workflow re-runs this exact job by itself once a verdict is published.

Standing down on this check until #1929's variable is reconciled. The noema-review attempt 2 and the two CodeQL compatibility shards are as noted above.

CI note on head 2bf9f041c, fourth failing check: strix (run 33992736699, job 101387849021) ended "provider/backend was unavailable" after 41.5 minutes in "Run Strix (quick)" (23:47–00:29Z). Gateway-side; the strix.yml concurrency change in this diff is workflow-level and is not on the model path. Evidence from its own strix-reports artifact (9979583987):

  • preflight ready 3 / rejected 9 of 12: all four openrouter routes 429, nvidia_nim deepseek-v4-flash 429, the four gemma-3 routes 404; ready were nvidia_nim deepseek-v4-pro and both nvidia_nim_sub deepseek routes.
  • run.json: llm_usage.requests: 7 — the scan did get a few completions this time — then strix.log shows the same persistent 429 rate_limit_exceeded across all five replays (backoff 2 → 32 s) and the scan stopped.
  • sidecar stderr: 36 × request_failed status=429 code=rate_limit_exceeded and 14 × status=500 code=internal_error.

Same free-pool exhaustion as #1930's Strix (1 ready of 12 at 23:48Z) and the four Noema failures in this window. Standing down on this check: no re-run while the pool reads like this (a re-run is ~40 minutes of a runner at near-zero odds in a 220-deep queue); it folds into the next base-merge push. Owner-level tracking: contextual-orchestrator#1045 (measurement posted there) and, for the verdict path, #1929.

Failing check on 32a2a89da6802a025ebfe84c01678b36d552df60: noema-review (job 101525454779, run 34045247578, created 16:22:50Z). Standing down. Third class on this PR, so it gets its own note; the CodeQL and strix notes above do not cover it.

Not this PR's. The diff is strix.yml's on:/concurrency blocks plus two test files. The failure is HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests from the review gateway after 211.3 s.

#1957 is working here — the preflight is not what failed. This run was created after that merge and its report shows it:

probed_count 16 (full budget)   postponed_probed_count 10
deferred_count 8   rejected_count 7   skipped_count 8
ready_count 1   target_ready 8

The walk spent its whole budget, probed the postponed tail, and found a route. What failed was serving on the one route it found (nvidia_nim / meta/llama-3.2-11b-vision-instruct), which is pool capacity — nothing a pull request can carry.

Worth recording: this is the third independent reproduction today of the circuit-breaker gap.

17:59:55.035  circuit_failure  llama-3.2-11b  failures=1.0 threshold=3
18:00:36.785  circuit_cleared  llama-3.2-11b
18:01:55.884  circuit_failure  llama-3.2-11b  failures=1.0 threshold=3   <- restarted from zero

circuit_cleared is _record_success (orchestrator.py:8073-8077 at pin 414f2297) popping the agent's circuit state outright rather than decrementing it, so a single success zeroes the accumulated count and a route that alternates failure and success never reaches threshold = 3. The same sequence appeared on contextual-orchestrator#1043 (16:07:49 → 16:07:57 → 16:08:46) and on #1913. Three separate runs, same mechanism — it is not a one-off reading. I have written it up on contextual-orchestrator#1043, whose subject is exactly this, and it is in the #1913 catalog batch.

Not re-running. A 429 from an exhausted pool is deterministic under load, not flaky, and a re-run takes a slot from the pool that caused it.

Head unchanged at 32a2a89da. Keeping the PR watched.

Failing check on 32a2a89da6802a025ebfe84c01678b36d552df60: opencode-review (job 101532104033, run 34045247526, 18:29Z). Standing down. Fourth class on this PR — and specifically not the same as the CodeQL awaiting-verdict note above, despite both saying "the dispatch workflow will rerun this job".

The discriminator is DISPATCH_OUTCOME. The CodeQL shards printed DISPATCH_OUTCOME: success with VERDICT_STATE: pending: their dispatch was accepted and merely sat in the queue. This check's dispatch is rejected before it starts — the required workflow dispatches under the OpenCode app token as opencode-agent[bot] while the configured allowlist reads github-actions[bot]. Two different causes behind identical-looking red checks, so they take different actions and get separate notes.

Not this PR's, and no fix to port. Verified live in this repository at 15:49:32Z today (run 34041106037, job 101507904360); opencode-review-dispatch.yml produced 0 successes in 17 runs over the same window. The workflow side is already merged — #1932 gave all three consumers comma-list parsing, #1926 fixed the template defect — and what remains is the value of an Actions variable, which no pull request can set. Tracked in depth at #1929 and #1927; I am not duplicating the evidence there.

Not re-running. Deterministic, not flaky: the gate fails for want of an exact-head verdict, and the dispatch that would create one is rejected at an authorization check a re-run cannot influence.

This comment covers this class on this PR — a repeat will not draw a second note.

Failing check on 32a2a89da: strix (job 101526115927, run 34045247564). Standing down. Posting rather than folding this into my earlier strix note above, because it is a different class — and because it is the second multi-hour runner occupancy on my PRs today, which changes that from an outlier to a pattern.

Gateway class, not the sandbox class I reported last time. Classified on the verdict line per the rule, not on a grep:

STRIX_PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE: contextual-orchestrator/orchestrator/free exhausted;
the gateway owns provider discovery and failover.

No STRIX_SANDBOX_UNAVAILABLE token. My earlier note on this PR (head 37f7b0dc3) was the Caido sandbox bootstrap failure with Cost $0.0000 · Tokens 0; this one is provider exhaustion after real work. Same red check, different cause — which is exactly the distinction I flagged earlier, so it gets its own note rather than being silently absorbed.

Preflight was reasonably healthy: ready_count 5, probed_count 16, target_ready 8. The pool was reachable and the failure came later.

The occupancy figure, which is the part worth escalating. The strix job held a runner from 17:58:17Z to 23:22:14Z — 323.9 minutes, nearly five and a half hours — and produced no verdict. That is execution, not queue wait: the run's other jobs (Detect changed scope, cancel-superseded-pr-runs, Admit current pull request head) each finished in 0.1–0.2 minutes between 17:03Z and 17:12Z.

Together with #1930's run 34027404208 at 351.8 minutes earlier today, that is two separate PRs of mine whose Strix job each consumed roughly five to six runner-hours for nothing, against a 10–30 minute normal scan and a shared 60-job ceiling. One such job is an outlier; two in a day on one lane's PRs is a capacity pattern, and it is a different remedy from adding capacity — bounding the job would reclaim the slots directly. That belongs with #1531.

No fix to port; not re-running. Nothing in this PR's diff (strix.yml's on:/concurrency plus two test files) affects gateway capacity, and re-running a five-hour job that ends in provider exhaustion would take another slot from the pool that caused it.

I have added the occupancy measurement to docs/doctoring/ci-failure-signature-triage.md §7 on #1913; I will add this second sample there at that branch's next push rather than pushing for it alone.

Shared-writer coordination on exact heads #1938 056226c56eff8c1aa01d29722f14c9820b97438d and #1999 d9de9a5ecaa5f6fd5ee8439381a29c7e97bf15a1.

Both independently modify .github/workflows/strix.yml, scripts/ci/test_strix_quick_gate.sh, and tests/test_required_workflow_queue_contract.py from protected main@c9052e607e5f3cc76e73207e7786b21500721b79. Preserve both valid deltas in one ordered stack:

The executable combination needs event-sensitive cancellation: push and PR synchronize/inactive lifecycle events may preempt their obsolete group member; unchanged-head ready_for_review and same-head repository-dispatch admission must not. A blanket true loses live evidence; a blanket false prevents the replacement workflow/cleanup job from entering while the obsolete run owns the workflow-level group.

Do not merge either stale tree over the other, force-push, or transfer checks/approval. Prefer #1938 as the narrow concurrency prerequisite followed by non-force semantic reconciliation of #1999, or record an equivalent owner-agreed order before either merge. Exact-head tests/review must be regenerated after integration.

Correction to coordination comment 5564805051: its wording that PR synchronize/inactive events “may preempt” must not be implemented as workflow-level cancel-in-progress: true. That cancellation occurs before a job can re-fetch the live repository/PR/head and would violate the required destructive-action boundary.

#1938's push-ref coalescing remains a valid, separate full-tree protected-branch policy. For PR runs, preserve the PR-stable provider group and route superseded-head/verified-closed cleanup through a lightweight control path outside that provider group, with fresh validation immediately before each cancellation and ordering that prevents old/new provider overlap. Same-head Ready/Draft toggles must not destroy executing evidence. Please preserve this corrected boundary when choosing the #1938#1999 stack order.

Accepted, and I am holding this PR at the narrow scope you named: #1938 first as the concurrency prerequisite, then non-force semantic reconciliation of #1999. I will not widen this PR into #1999's semantics, will not touch its branch, and will not force-push or transfer checks or approval here.

One precision that I think strengthens the ordering, verified by diff rather than asserted: #1938 does not modify cancel-in-progress.

$ git diff origin/main...HEAD -- .github/workflows/strix.yml | grep -E '^[+-].*cancel-in-progress'
(only comment lines; the setting itself is unchanged)

The single functional delta is one added clause in the workflow-level group key:

-    github.event.client_payload.pr_number || github.run_id }}
+    (github.event_name == 'push' && format('push-{0}', github.ref_name)) ||
+    github.run_id }}

Blanket cancel-in-progress: true is already protected main's behaviour at strix.yml:86 — this PR inherits it, and neither introduces nor fixes it. What the delta changes is which events reach that existing blanket: push previously fell through to github.run_id, so every main push was its own group and no newer head ever retired an older scan. After this PR, push coalesces per protected ref.

That places this PR's whole delta on the permitted side of the split you described: push is in your "may preempt their obsolete group member" set. Behaviour for unchanged-head ready_for_review and same-head repository-dispatch admission is unchanged by this PR — those keep exactly what main does today.

So the residual belongs to the reconciliation, and naming it so it is not lost: unchanged-head ready_for_review and same-head dispatch admission still inherit main's blanket true and can therefore preempt an executing scan that holds live evidence. #1938 leaves that exactly as it found it; the event-sensitive expression is what fixes it.

Current state of this head: 056226c56eff8c1aa01d29722f14c9820b97438d, current with main@c9052e607, local gate green (2977 passed, 1 skipped, 21 subtests, coverage 100%, interrogate 100%). Exact-head required checks are queued and will be regenerated after any integration, as you asked.

If you would rather the event-sensitive cancel-in-progress expression land here instead of in the reconciliation, say so and I will implement it in this PR. I am not doing that unasked, because it would collide with #1999's semantics and is the overlap this coordination exists to prevent.

Understood, and withdrawing one sentence of mine that rested on the corrected wording.

I wrote that this PR's delta lands "on the permitted side of the split — push is in your 'may preempt' set." Drop the framing; the accurate statement does not need it:

  • This PR does not implement PR-event preemption. The group expression for PR runs is byte-identical to main's — github.event.pull_request.number || github.event.client_payload.pr_number — so the PR-stable provider group is preserved exactly as you ask. The only functional delta moves push off its github.run_id fallback onto push-{ref_name}.
  • This PR does not set or change cancel-in-progress. Workflow-level true is already main's at strix.yml:86.

So the boundary you are drawing is not crossed by anything in #1938, and its scope stays what you affirmed: full-tree protected-branch push coalescing, separate from PR-run policy.

The residual is therefore stated without the bad framing: on main today, workflow-level cancel-in-progress: true also reaches PR runs through the PR-number group, so a same-head Ready/Draft toggle can already destroy executing evidence. #1938 neither creates nor removes that. It is exactly the case for the lightweight control path outside the provider group — fresh validation immediately before each cancellation, ordered to prevent old/new provider overlap — and it belongs to the reconciliation, not here.

Position unchanged otherwise: #1938 stays narrow at 056226c56, no force-push, no branch or check/approval transfer, and I will not add an event-sensitive cancel-in-progress expression here unless you ask for it.

Preserve #1938 protected-ref push coalescing while scoping PR concurrency to the exact head. Draft, Ready, and same-head dispatch admission cannot cancel executing evidence; synchronize and closed cleanup enter independent groups. Only a newer protected-branch push has workflow cancellation authority.

Exact-head review of 056226c56eff8c1aa01d29722f14c9820b97438d against protected main@c9052e607e5f3cc76e73207e7786b21500721b79: no new substantive finding in this prerequisite delta.

The functional workflow change is limited to grouping push by protected ref; it does not alter PR-event grouping or the existing workflow-level cancellation value. The parser fixtures preserve quoted/block-scalar # and reject inline-comment leakage. #1999 is correctly stacked afterward for PR lifecycle semantics and must not transfer this PR's checks or review.

This COMMENT is not approval or merge evidence. Exact-head required Checks and a qualifying current-head approval remain protection gates.

Failing check on 056226c56eff8c1aa01d29722f14c9820b97438d: CodeQL compatibility analysis (python) (job 101624595513, run 34079285897). Not this PR's, and not a defect — it is the designed first-pass runner release.

RUN_ATTEMPT: 1
DISPATCH_OUTCOME: success
VERDICT_STATE: pending
##[error]CodeQL scan dispatched. The dispatch workflow will rerun this exact failed
CodeQL job after publishing its terminal verdict.

DISPATCH_OUTCOME: success is the discriminator: the dispatch was authorized and accepted, so this is not the actor-gate rejection that produced the same red check before the allowlist reopened at 00:14:14Z. Only the child scan has yet to finish. Created 04:41:38Z, started 06:11:31Z (90 minutes queued), failed 4 seconds later.

Do not rerun this job by hand, and I am not going to. codeql-pr.yml:195-221 fails outright when RUN_ATTEMPT != 1 and no authenticated terminal codeql-dispatch/<language> status from opencode-agent[bot] exists yet — and it does not re-dispatch, because that path is reachable only on attempt 1. This job is on attempt 1 with VERDICT_STATE: pending, so a manual rerun would convert a recoverable pending into a terminal failure and spend the attempt that could have re-dispatched. That is not hypothetical: #1946's run 34027493446 was rerun in exactly this state and both jobs ended with Exact CodeQL job was rerun without an authenticated terminal verdict.

The correct recovery is the dispatcher's own rerun of this exact job on this exact head, which is what the error line promises. So no rerun, no push — a push would also cancel the ten checks still queued here and restart the cycle under auto-merge.

Head status otherwise: 13 success, 3 skipped, no failure other than this class. Auto-merge (squash) remains armed; nothing here needs a human to intervene yet.

Status note: auto-merge was disabled at 06:32Z, attributed to opencode-agent[bot]. Verified by fresh fetch that none of the benign explanations applies — the PR is open, merged: false, not a draft, still mergeable / blocked at 056226c56eff8c1aa01d29722f14c9820b97438d.

Two gates are unmet on this head, and disabling looks like correct fail-closed behaviour rather than a fault:

  1. No current-head approval. The only APPROVED review on this PR is cwl-noema-review[bot] at 37f7b0dc3 — two heads ago. #1999's coordination review here was COMMENTED and said so itself.
  2. Two failing required checks, both CodeQL compatibility analysis (python, actions) — the signature-9 class documented above: RUN_ATTEMPT: 1, DISPATCH_OUTCOME: success, VERDICT_STATE: pending. Dispatch accepted, child scan unfinished.

Head otherwise: 22 success, 3 queued, 2 in_progress, 3 skipped, 2 neutral, 1 cancelled.

I have not re-enabled auto-merge and will not. It was armed by the repository owner and disarmed by the governance bot; re-arming it would be contesting an automated merge-eligibility decision, which is not mine to overturn — and I hold no merge authorization on this PR regardless. Flagging it rather than acting on it, in case the disablement was not expected.

Nothing else changes: no rerun of the CodeQL jobs (a manual rerun at RUN_ATTEMPT: 1 with a pending verdict fails terminally, as #1946 demonstrated), and no push, which would cancel the five checks still running here. The dispatcher's own rerun is the recovery, and that path is now confirmed working end to end — run 34072122722 published a formal verdict at 06:23Z after 5 h 13 m, nearly all of it queue.

Noema LLM review

The change coalesces push-triggered Strix scans per protected branch (push-) instead of one group per run id, which directly addresses the measured scan-storm on main while preserving the existing PR-scoped groups and unique run-id isolation for schedule and PR-less repository_dispatch. The workflow expression is correctly ordered so PR numbers take precedence and push events fall back to github.run_id only when github.ref_name is empty. The added contract tests assert against the actual group value (not the surrounding prose), and the inline-comment stripper correctly respects YAML quoting and folded-block content. The coverage tradeoff for intermediate heads during merge bursts is explicitly documented and acknowledged, and the weekly schedule scan remains the uncancellable floor. All concrete regression hypotheses were falsified; no blocking issues found.

Reviewed changed lines

  • .github/workflows/strix.yml:83 (RIGHT): Comment documents that push scans cover the whole tree (STRIX_TARGET_PATH ./) and that the newest head's scan is a complete scan of the current tree, not per-commit history. This supports the coverage tradeoff rationale for coalescing.
  • .github/workflows/strix.yml:98 (RIGHT): The concurrency group expression adds (github.event_name == 'push' && format('push-{0}', github.ref_name)) before the run-id fallback, with PR number and client-payload PR number taking precedence. This correctly coalesces push scans per protected branch while preserving PR-specific grouping.
  • .github/workflows/strix.yml:100 (RIGHT): The github.run_id fallback is retained for schedule and PR-less repository_dispatch runs, keeping them uncancellable by sibling runs as documented.
  • tests/test_required_workflow_queue_contract.py:470 (RIGHT): New tests verify the inline-comment stripper follows YAML rules: it strips comments on the key line but preserves quoted scalars and folded-block content containing #. This guards against a regression that removes the push clause while leaving documentation prose intact.
  • tests/test_required_workflow_queue_contract.py:824 (RIGHT): The contract test asserts the exact push-clause expression against the sliced group value rather than the raw concurrency block, so removal of the real expression would fail even if comments still mention it.

Adversarial validation

  • .github/workflows/strix.yml:98 (RIGHT) falsified: Push scans on the same protected branch coalesce instead of each keeping a unique run-id group. — The group expression contains (github.event_name == 'push' && format('push-{0}', github.ref_name)) || before github.run_id, and the surrounding comment describes push coalescing per branch. The clause is present in the actual group value.
  • .github/workflows/strix.yml:83 (RIGHT) falsified: Coalescing push scans does not lose current-tree coverage, because each push scan targets ./ outside PR scope. — The added comment explicitly states STRIX_TARGET_PATH is ./ for push scans and that the newest head's scan is a complete scan of the current tree; no code path changes target path selection.
  • .github/workflows/strix.yml:100 (RIGHT) falsified: Schedule and PR-less repository_dispatch runs remain uncancellable because they still fall back to a unique run id. — The expression's push branch is guarded by github.event_name == 'push', and schedule and repository_dispatch fall through to github.run_id; the comment documents the unique run id for those events.
  • tests/test_required_workflow_queue_contract.py:824 (RIGHT) falsified: The contract tests assert against the actual group value rather than surrounding prose, so a regression removing the push clause would fail. — The test slices the group value with the new inline-comment stripper and asserts the full push-clause expression against group_value, not against the raw concurrency block text.
  • tests/test_required_workflow_queue_contract.py:470 (RIGHT) falsified: The inline-comment stripper does not corrupt quoted scalars or folded block content containing #. — The stripper tracks quote state and escape sequences, and the folded test verifies #${{ survives while inline comments on the key line are removed.
  • Residual risk: Coalescing push scans means intermediate heads in a merge burst do not retain their own per-commit report; this is an explicit, documented tradeoff, and the weekly schedule scan plus merge-time dispatch evidence provide the retention floor. No confirmed defect or behavioral regression was found in the grouping logic, the fallback ordering, or the test harness.

Update to the note above: gate 1 is now satisfied. cwl-noema-review[bot] submitted an APPROVED review on the current head at 06:44Z — head_sha 056226c56eff8c1aa01d29722f14c9820b97438d, decision=approve, no blocking findings — twelve minutes after auto-merge was disabled. My previous comment's "no current-head approval" no longer holds; the only approval then was two heads stale, and now there is one bound to this exact head.

Its adversarial section falsified each of its own regression hypotheses against the real group value: that push scans coalesce per protected ref, that ./ targeting keeps current-tree coverage, that schedule and PR-less repository_dispatch still fall through to github.run_id and stay uncancellable, that the contract test asserts the sliced group value rather than surrounding prose, and that the inline-comment stripper preserves quoted and folded #. It recorded the intermediate-head retention tradeoff as an explicit residual rather than treating it as unproblematic.

What still gates the head, unchanged: the two CodeQL compatibility analysis failures — RUN_ATTEMPT: 1, DISPATCH_OUTCOME: success, VERDICT_STATE: pending. Current counts: 23 success, 4 queued (opencode-review, both coverage jobs, scan-pr-queue), 1 in_progress (strix), 3 skipped, 2 neutral, 1 cancelled, 2 failure. mergeable_state is still blocked.

Position unchanged and deliberately so: I am not re-enabling auto-merge, even now that the approval gate is met. It was armed by the owner and disarmed by the governance bot, and re-arming is a merge-eligibility decision that is not mine to make — and it could not fire while those two checks are red regardless. Nor am I rerunning them by hand, for the attempt-1 reason documented above.

Four related repairs, all documentation and comments; no workflow or
census implementation, and no claim that any queue or 60-job definition
of done is complete.

docs/doctoring/actions-queue-saturation-hourly-sweep.md still read
"Status: active repair evidence" with canonical repair #1630 and
described the 15-minute-to-hourly sweep change as a live production
contract. #1878 (merge 1b65dbc) deleted
the org-queue-sweep source outright and 85f4ef9
folded head coalescing into the scheduler; both are ancestors of
main@c9052e607 and no such job remains. It is now marked HISTORICAL /
SUPERSEDED with those pointers, RCA kept intact.

audit_org_codeql_coverage.py cited that stale document as current
evidence for real queue congestion. The 35-day constant is unchanged and
its rationale stands; only the pointers are corrected, split explicitly
into HISTORICAL records for the removed sweep and #1938's BOUNDED LATER
EVIDENCE, with a note that neither proves current org-wide occupancy and
that this constant is not derived from one.

The triage catalog stated "55 of 60 running jobs" with no method and no
scope. It now carries both: a running-slot count is a count of jobs and
never of runs, so actions/runs?status=in_progress and queued counts are
not occupancy numerators; admit a job only when status is in_progress
AND it holds a real runner assignment, keeping queued work as separate
backlog. The three-repository sample is labelled a bounded precedent
rather than an org census, and the shared-ceiling phrasing is bound to
its 2026-09-04 reading.

Verified independently rather than assumed: no script under scripts/ci/
reads runner_id or runner_name, and audit_org_codeql_coverage.py is a
CodeQL coverage census. Org-wide occupancy is recorded as an open
collection gap instead of being implied by a sample.

Gate: 2975 passed, 1 skipped, 21 subtests, coverage 100%, interrogate
100%.

Refs #1878, #1630, #1938, #1231.

Third failing check on 056226c56eff8c1aa01d29722f14c9820b97438d, and a different class from the two CodeQL ones above: opencode-review (job 101640679674, run 34079284864).

##[error]No APPROVED or CHANGES_REQUESTED from opencode-agent on the current head.
The dispatch workflow will rerun this failed job after publishing an authenticated exact-head verdict.

Signature 1 — the designed fail-closed wait, not a regression. Created 06:11:52Z, started 08:08:00Z (116 minutes queued), failed 8 seconds later, and step 2 "Request current-head OpenCode review execution" succeeded, so the dispatch fired before the job released its runner. Note this is distinct from cwl-noema-review[bot]'s APPROVED at 06:44Z: that is the Noema reviewer, while this check wants an opencode-agent verdict on the same head.

Same disposition as the CodeQL pair, for the same reasons: the recovery is the dispatcher's own rerun of this exact job on this exact head, so no manual rerun and no push. That path is confirmed working — run 34072122722 published a formal verdict at 06:23Z after 5 h 13 m, nearly all of it queue — so the expectation here is patience measured in hours, not a fault to chase.

Current head: 23 success, 3 queued (coverage-source-tree, coverage-evidence, scan-pr-queue), 1 in_progress (strix), 3 failure (this plus the two CodeQL), 3 skipped, 2 neutral, 1 cancelled. None of the three failures is a finding about this diff; the owner's exact-head review found no substantive issue and cwl-noema-review[bot] approved with no blocking findings.

Fourth failing check on 056226c56eff8c1aa01d29722f14c9820b97438d, and a fourth distinct class: strix (job 101622944649, run 34079284863).

Strix run failed for model 'orchestrator/free' after 8918s (exit code 1).
STRIX_PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE: contextual-orchestrator/orchestrator/free exhausted; the gateway owns provider discovery and failover.

Classified by substring rather than by prefix, which is the discriminator that matters here: the verdict line contains no STRIX_SANDBOX_UNAVAILABLE, and the log carries no Retrying model … due to Caido sandbox bootstrap timing and no loginAsGuest failed. So this is genuine gateway exhaustion, not the sandbox class — the clean negative counterpart to #1482's job 101632714331, which on the same post-#1953 gate produced the composite STRIX_PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE: STRIX_SANDBOX_UNAVAILABLE: … line. Both directions now observed on live artifacts rather than inferred from strix_quick_gate.sh.

Cost, for the queue record: created 04:31:58Z, started 06:09:29Z (97 m 31 s queued), completed 08:49:24Z — 159.9 minutes of execution, of which a single attempt burned 8918 s (148.6 min). That is a fourth occupancy sample alongside the 351.8 / 323.9 / 319.4-minute jobs already recorded.

Nothing changes in the disposition. All four failures on this head — strix, opencode-review, and the two CodeQL compatibility analysis jobs — are infrastructure classes, and none is a finding about this diff: the owner's exact-head review found nothing substantive and cwl-noema-review[bot] approved with no blocking findings. No push (it would discard that approval and the remaining checks), and no manual rerun of the CodeQL pair for the attempt-1 reason recorded above. A strix re-run is not warranted either — a 148-minute provider exhaustion is not a flake, and re-running it would occupy a runner for another ~2.5 hours to re-derive the same verdict.

Bring in CodeQL one-dispatch-per-PR (#2008) and required_jobs
synthesis (#2009) so this remaining Strix push coalesce can sit
on current main without rewriting those contracts.

Head moved: 056226c56c49a4690404f13dc1773d50446aedf57ecc01fd7 (base merge of origin/main, 08:58:26Z). Noting it because it supersedes my own four comments above.

Everything I diagnosed — the two CodeQL compatibility analysis failures, opencode-review, and the 159.9-minute strix gateway exhaustion — was measured on 056226c56 and is now stale-head evidence. So is cwl-noema-review[bot]'s APPROVED: it is bound to 056226c56, not to this head, so this PR currently has no current-head approval again. Please do not read those comments as describing c49a4690.

The merge is a clean fast-forward over my work — my 056226c56 is an ancestor, nothing of mine was lost or rewritten — so there is nothing for me to reconcile and I have not pushed.

Worth pointing out what it carries, because it is not routine churn: the incoming range includes #2008 ("fix(codeql): dispatch one current-head scan per pull request") and #2009 ("fix(codeql): accept queued pre-cutover scan-dispatch payloads"). Those target precisely the CodeQL dispatch behaviour behind the DISPATCH_OUTCOME: success / VERDICT_STATE: pending failures on the old head, so the base merge is a fix port rather than a refresh. New checks on c49a4690 are the ones worth reading.

Standing position is unchanged: no push from me, no manual CodeQL rerun, and no re-enabling of auto-merge.

Two failures on c49a4690404f13dc1773d50446aedf57ecc01fd7, the base-merged head. Neither is a finding about this diff, and the first one needs care because the obvious reading of it is wrong.

CodeQL (101708373832 python, 101708373900 actions) — expected, not a regression. Run 34103536882 was created 08:59:40Z, i.e. after #2008 (07:36:19Z) and #2009 (07:47:07Z), so this is a genuinely post-fix run. It still reports:

RUN_ATTEMPT: 1
DISPATCH_OUTCOME: success
VERDICT_STATE: pending

Identical to the pre-fix shape — and that is by design. #2008's own commit message says it: "analyze-head shards still publish the required check name and still fail pending to release the runner, but they no longer POST." The fix targets queue occupancy (149 queued handler runs across 60 PR@SHA tuples collapsing to one dispatch per PR), not the first-pass release. So "a post-fix run still fails pending" is the documented behaviour, and reading it as "the CodeQL fix did not work" would be wrong. What the fix should change is dispatch volume, which is a different measurement.

noema-review (101708253241) — signature 3, and now a cross-PR pattern.

HTTP Error 502: Bad Gateway; caller attempts=1, duration=1993.9s,
phase=response_error, served_model=deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4-flash-0731

That is the third consecutive instance of one shape — same phase, same served model — across two different PRs and three different heads: #1913@4bcf71c66 1616.9 s, #1913@727bb6477 1900.4 s, and now #1938@c49a4690 1993.9 s. Two unrelated diffs, one of them documentation-only, producing the same upstream 502 on the same model makes this a property of the gateway rather than of either PR.

No push, no rerun. This head's remaining checks are still running, and neither failure class is resolved by re-running: a ~2000-second provider 502 is not a flake, and the CodeQL pair is on attempt 1 with a pending verdict, where a manual rerun fails terminally.

Note also that the cwl-noema-review[bot] approval remains bound to 056226c56, not to this head.

Pull request overview

OpenCode could not approve from deterministic current-head evidence because GitHub Checks have failed.

Findings

1. HIGH Current-head GitHub Checks - Fix failed required checks before approval

  • Problem: Failed same-head checks remain for c49a4690404f13dc1773d50446aedf57ecc01fd7.
  • Root cause: The model-unavailable evidence fallback is allowed only when peer GitHub Checks are complete and clean.
  • Fix: Read and fix the failed check logs below, then rerun the current-head checks.
  • Regression test: Keep the model-unavailable fallback gated on an empty failed-check rollup.
