…acOS Any workflow edit forced every CI area, so a change to relay-tls.yml or to a guard script waited for a macOS compile that cannot observe it. ci.yml's jobs read no other workflow file, and those edits are checked by workflow-guard-tests. A tests/ file is now macOS-neutral when ci.yml names it and only Linux jobs name it. ci.yml, scripts/ci/*.py and the router test still force every area, and an unreadable ci.yml or an unnamed tests/ file keeps macOS on.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A change to the CI routing logic can, in one specific but plausible authoring pattern, cause the system to wrongly conclude that a workflow edit only affects Linux runners and skip running macOS or web checks for that change. This does not affect ordinary contributors today, since the repository's current workflow does not use this exact pattern, but the routing helper should be tightened before merge so future CI edits are not silently under-tested on macOS. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 24 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

The parser identifies macOS jobs only when the direct, single-line runs-on value contains the literal word macos. If ci.yml later selects a macOS runner through a matrix or another expression, tests from that job remain in everywhere but disappear from macos. Later test-only PRs can then be classified as macos=false and skip the macOS suite that exercises them. The current tests cover concrete paths but not indirect or multiline runner declarations, so please parse these forms conservatively or reject unsupported forms rather than treating them as Linux.

A job whose runner comes from a matrix, a needs output, or a list on the following lines was read as Linux, so a test only it runs could be classified guard-only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Any edit to ci.yml ran every area, so adding a step to workflow-guard-tests waited for a macOS compile. The routing step now hands the detector the base ci.yml, and the detector compares the two job by job. macOS is skipped only when the text before jobs: is unchanged, every changed, added or removed job plainly runs on Linux, and neither changes nor ci-status is among them. The shell pre-check still runs every area when the detector or its test changed, and an unreadable base or head does too. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…own workflows Both relied on any workflow edit forcing every area. The web gate now names web-validation.yml itself, so an edit to it still runs web validation. The activation benchmark's pre-check fails open for perf-activation.yml and the detector, no longer for every workflow file, so an unrelated workflow edit stops taking a macOS runner for it.

The tests job is the stable branch-protected aggregate gate, but this condition skips it when changes or linux-preflight fails. Its script therefore cannot convert those prerequisite failures into a failing required check, so a broken PR may satisfy branch protection. Keep the aggregate gate runnable after prerequisite failures so its existing checks can report them.

The aggregate job turns a failed changes or linux-preflight result into a failing check. With a condition on those results it is skipped instead, and a skipped check does not block a merge. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…base is gone Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The routing steps diffed from the event's base SHA, which is where the pull request last synced. Once main moves on, that commit is outside the depth-2 checkout, the diff fails and every area runs. In a sample of 40 recent runs that happened in 11. A diff from the old base would also count what main gained since. CI and web validation now diff from the synthetic merge commit's first parent.

Reject ambiguous runner expressions before classifying a job as Linux-only.
This check accepts any scalar that contains ubuntu or LINUX_RUNNER. For example, ${{ vars.RUNNER || 'ubuntu-24.04' }} returns true although vars.RUNNER can select a macOS runner.
A pure ci.yml edit to that job is then classified as Linux-only. classify_files skips the workflow path and can disable the macOS and web jobs.
Accept only literal Ubuntu runner labels and exact approved Linux variable expressions. Treat all other expressions and custom labels as unknown.

Summary
The CI router forced every area for any file under
.github/workflows/and treated everytests/file as macOS-relevant. Pull requests that only touch workflow plumbing therefore waited formacOS compile admissionandswift-package-testson the capped Blacksmith macOS pool, although neither job can observe the change. Five things change, each failing open.Other workflow files are neutral. Files under
.github/workflows/other thanci.yml, and.github/actionlint.yaml.ci.ymlcalls no reusable workflow, and these edits are checked byworkflow-guard-testsand by the edited workflow's own triggers.Linux-only guard tests are neutral. A
tests/file counts only whenci.ymlnames it and every job naming it plainly runs on Linux. The detector reads this fromci.yml, so moving a test into a macOS job flips it back. A glob in a macOS job covers its prefix, and a fileci.ymldoes not name stays macOS-relevant because a macOS-run test may import it.A
ci.ymledit confined to Linux jobs is neutral. The routing step hands the detector the baseci.ymland it compares the two job by job. macOS is skipped only when the text beforejobs:(triggers, env, permissions, concurrency) is unchanged, every changed, added or removed job plainly runs on Linux in both revisions, and neitherchangesnorci-statusis among them.The diff is taken from the base the merge commit was built on. The routing steps diffed from the event's base SHA, which is where the pull request last synced. Once
mainmoves on, that commit is outside the depth-2 checkout,git difffails withbad object, and every area runs. In a sample of 40 recentci.ymlruns that happened in 11 (for example a two-file docs change in docs(agents): run the compile-only check in the tag's derived data #13033 ran web and macOS). A diff from the old base would also count whatmaingained since.ci.ymlandscripts/ci/web_validation.pynow diff from the synthetic merge commit's first parent, and fall back to the event base when the checkout is not a merge commit.Agent instructions and skill docs are documentation.
CLAUDE.mdandAGENTS.mdat any depth, and Markdown underskills/, no longer route to macOS. No macOS job reads them.skills/cmux-cua/stays macOS-relevant because the app bundles it as a folder resource, and so do skill scripts and manifests."Plainly Linux" means a single-line
runs-onnamingLINUX_RUNNER,LINUX_ARM64_RUNNERorubuntu, with nomacos,matrix.,needs.orinputs.in it. A matrix runner, a list on the following lines, or an unknown label counts as macOS (Greptile's finding on the first revision).What still runs everything
The shell pre-check in
changesstill emits every area, before any Python runs, whenscripts/ci/*, ortests/test_ci_change_areas.pychanged, so a pull request cannot edit or shadow the detector that judges it. Rule 3 only applies when the detector is unchanged. An unreadable base or headci.yml, a failedgit show, an empty diff and non-PR events run everything as before.Effect on open pull requests
Routed through the new detector: #13062, #13064 and #13067 resolve to
macos=false(rules 1 and 2), and so does #13069, which adds one step toworkflow-guard-tests(rule 3). #13060 edits the admission job and still runs everything. This pull request edits thechangesjob and the detector, so it runs everything too.Testing
python3 tests/test_ci_change_areas.pyon Python 3.9 and 3.12. Each rule has a red commit before its fix. Theci.ymlcases cover a macOS job edit, a runner label change, an env change, edits tochangesandci-status, a Linux job becoming a matrix job, a removed macOS job, and unreadable input, plus two end-to-end runs of the routing step's shell script against a real git history.actionlint1.7.7 clean,tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.shpasses.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
