Summary

Internal TestFlight polls currently wait up to five hours for earlier uploads, and every waiting poll re-checks the workflow queue once a minute. When an upload is delayed, this creates a growing number of API requests and can exhaust the repository’s GITHUB_TOKEN rate limit.

This change makes the 20-minute internal poll idempotent: if an earlier upload is still running or ordering cannot be inspected, the poll records should_build=false, exits, and lets the next poll retry. Manual dispatches and the twice-daily DEMO schedule keep the existing wait behavior.

A fixed concurrency group is intentionally not used because GitHub would cancel older pending runs, which could drop manual or DEMO uploads.

Testing

  • python3 tests/test_ios_testflight_main_push_filter.py
  • python3 tests/test_ios_testflight_pro_distribution.py
  • tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh
  • YAML parsing verified
  • Added coverage for blocked internal polls, ordering API failures, manual dispatches, and DEMO uploads
  • Not tested against live GitHub; the decision script is exercised with a fake API

Issues

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved iOS TestFlight scheduling so internal polling runs skip promptly when uploads are still in progress or run status cannot be checked.
    • Prevented internal polling from waiting unnecessarily behind earlier runs, allowing later polls to build from the latest available changes.
    • Preserved waiting and retry behavior for manual and demo scheduled runs when earlier uploads or temporary status-check errors occur.

Sixteen scheduled ios-testflight runs were alive at once on 2026-09-19,
each re-listing the runs ahead of it every minute. That is about 136 API
calls a minute against the repository's 1,000-request hourly GITHUB_TOKEN
budget, and every workflow that calls the API failed with it (CLA policy
guard, CLA Assistant, setup-bun).

Pin the intended behaviour: the 20-minute internal poll leaves when an
earlier run has not finished uploading or ordering cannot be checked;
manual dispatches and the DEMO schedule still wait.

The decide job made every run wait up to five hours for all earlier runs,
listing each of them once a minute. With the upload job stuck behind a
macOS runner queue, three new polls an hour piled up, and N waiting polls
cost about N*N/2 API calls a minute: sixteen spent roughly 8,000 requests
an hour of the repository's 1,000-request GITHUB_TOKEN budget, and every
workflow that calls the API failed with it, including the required CLA
policy guard.

The 20-minute internal poll is idempotent, so it now reports
should_build=false and exits when an earlier run has not finished
uploading or ordering cannot be checked. The next poll builds whatever
main is by then. Manual dispatches and the DEMO schedule keep waiting, so
no requested build is dropped and upload order stays monotonic.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflow skips internal scheduled polls when ordering checks fail or earlier uploads remain active. Manual and demo scheduled runs continue waiting. Tests capture notices and verify these behaviors.

Changes

TestFlight poll handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Internal poll control flow
.github/workflows/ios-testflight.yml
The decide job identifies internal polls and uses skipPoll when ordering checks fail or earlier uploads block progress. Manual and demo runs retain the existing wait behavior.
Poll behavior test coverage
tests/test_ios_testflight_main_push_filter.py
The harness records notices. Tests verify that internal polls skip without waiting, manual runs wait, and demo schedules still wait. They also verify retries for demo ordering API errors.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; the new skip behavior is limited to retryable internal polls and downstream uploads remain correctly gated.

Summary

This PR makes frequent scheduled internal TestFlight polls exit successfully rather than repeatedly querying GitHub while an earlier upload blocks ordering.

  • Sets should_build=false when an internal poll finds a blocking upload or cannot inspect ordering.
  • Preserves existing wait-and-retry behavior for manual dispatches and DEMO schedules.
  • Adds test coverage for skipped polls, API failures, and retained manual/DEMO behavior.

Bugbot is paused — on-demand spend limit reached

Bugbot uses usage-based billing for this team and has hit its on-demand spend limit.

A team admin can raise the spend limit in the Cursor dashboard, or wait for the next billing cycle to continue.

The skip notice is an annotation on a public run page. Report that
ordering could not be checked and leave the API's own message to
core.debug, which only prints with debug logging on.
