scripts/run-e2e.sh cmuxTests/Suite --wait currently omits the ref despite promising the current branch, picks the latest workflow run even when it belongs to another caller, and exits successfully after a failed watch. That makes a focused retry unreliable as evidence for a small fix.

Pin the selected source to an immutable, GitHub-accessible commit before dispatch. By default this is clean local HEAD; --ref resolves a remote branch/tag/SHA once. Match the resulting run using a unique dispatch ID and preserve the hosted failure exit status. Reject malformed selectors/options before dispatch, disable recording for app-host unit selections, and expose the existing job-timeout input (45 minutes by default, including compilation).

Uses the existing manual test-e2e.yml workflow. It runs one suite or method; it still compiles the test bundle and does not replace full CI or reuse earlier test results. The workflow's existing positive-execution guard rejects zero-test passes.

Usage after this workflow change lands:

./scripts/run-e2e.sh cmuxTests/RemoteTmuxMirrorPaneInputMappingTests --wait
./scripts/run-e2e.sh cmuxTests/MySuite/testMethod --ref my-pushed-branch --wait

--workflow-ref ci-focused-app-host-tests selects this PR's workflow definition before merge; source selection remains independently pinned. No hosted run was dispatched during local validation.

Validation: the first commit reproduces the old behavior with executable fake-GitHub-CLI tests (15 failed assertions and one error). All 11 tests pass after the fix, including overlapping runs, delayed discovery, missing/ambiguous runs, dirty/unpushed defaults, remote refs, malformed inputs, and failed watches. Existing selected-test execution tests (8), self-hosted workflow guards, actionlint, Bash syntax, and diff checks pass. CI tooling only; no app build. Hosted integration remains pending.

Overlap: #10024 introduces a different validated dispatcher. This PR deliberately uses its exact dispatch_id workflow field/run-title format, fixes the existing command, and adds immutable revision selection; it does not copy that PR's docs/policy changes or source-parser validation.

Related: #13095.


Summary by cubic

Fixes scripts/run-e2e.sh so focused retries run the intended commit and wait on the exact workflow run it dispatched. The old script could use the wrong ref, pick another caller's latest run, and exit successfully after a failed watch.

What changed

  • Resolves the selected source to a GitHub commit SHA before dispatch; the default is a clean local HEAD, and --ref accepts a remote branch, tag, or SHA.
  • Matches the run by a unique dispatch_id echoed into the run name, preserves the hosted run's exit status with --wait, and makes run discovery cancellable, including terminating in-flight discovery commands.
  • Rejects malformed selectors and options before dispatch.
  • Disables video recording for cmuxTests/ app-host selections and adds --job-timeout (default 45 minutes, including compilation).
  • Adds fake-GitHub-CLI coverage for the launcher to CI.

Rollout

  • Uses the existing manual test-e2e.yml; it still compiles the test bundle and does not replace full CI or reuse earlier results.
  • Use --workflow-ref ci-focused-app-host-tests to run this PR's workflow definition before merge.
  • The workflow's existing positive-execution guard still rejects zero-test passes.

Written for commit 2e0b9b5. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a Python dispatcher for focused E2E tests, updates workflow run correlation, delegates the shell launcher to the dispatcher, and adds automated coverage for validation, dispatch, run discovery, cancellation, and waiting.

Changes

Focused E2E launcher

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow dispatch contract
.github/workflows/test-e2e.yml
The workflow accepts an optional dispatch_id input and appends it to the run name when provided.
Validated dispatch and run tracking
scripts/ci/dispatch-focused-test.py, scripts/run-e2e.sh
The Python dispatcher validates inputs, checks commit state, dispatches the E2E workflow, finds the matching run, handles cancellation, and optionally watches it. The shell launcher forwards all arguments to the dispatcher.
Launcher and run-discovery verification
tests/test_run_e2e.py, .github/workflows/ci.yml
Tests cover dispatch payloads, commit and selector validation, run polling, ambiguity handling, cancellation, and watch failures. CI runs the launcher tests.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e342c

Cancelling a focused E2E dispatch can leave the launcher running for up to a minute when GitHub CLI discovery stalls. This is bounded but should be corrected for responsive cancellation.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; the previously reported polling-policy and delayed-cancellation concerns are fully addressed.

Findings

  1. P2 Fixed polling violates policy ▶
  2. P2 Signal cancellation can stall ▶

Summary

The PR makes focused E2E dispatches reliably target an immutable commit and correlate with the exact workflow run they created.

  • Resolves local or explicitly selected revisions to full GitHub commit SHAs before dispatch.
  • Adds unique dispatch identifiers to workflow run titles and uses them for run discovery.
  • Propagates hosted test failures and supports prompt cancellation during discovery.
  • Validates selectors and options, configures job timeouts, and disables video for app-host unit selections.
  • Adds launcher tests to the main CI validation job.

P2 Fixed polling violates policy

The launcher checks for the workflow run up to twelve times with a fixed five-second sleep between attempts, then reports an accepted dispatch as missing. This violates the repository directive against fixed sleeps and polling for readiness in build/runtime scripts. Use a real GitHub readiness signal or a dedicated cancellation-aware retry abstraction. This repository requirement must be satisfied before merging.

Rule Used: Flag fixed sleeps, delayed dispatch, timers, polling, or wall-clock waits used as synchronization in production non-Swift app/runtime code across TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, or build/runtime scripts. Fail race repairs for lifecycle, focus, renderi... (source)

cancellation_scope can interrupt an in-flight request: replace the blocking
check_output wait with cancellable process polling or bounded waits that observe
cancel_event, terminate the child, and exit promptly. Add a test covering a
