Summary

Main went red after #13535 (merged 04:19 UTC) and #13585 (merged 04:32 UTC) landed about 13 minutes apart. Each had passed on its own base. #13535 added the guard step Validate build graph health tooling. #13585 added scripts/ci/workflow_guard_groups.py, a hand-written copy of every workflow-guard-tests step and path, plus a test requiring that copy to equal the workflow. With both on main, test_guard_step_ownership_manifest_matches_workflow failed on every PR until #13609 merged at 06:00 UTC, about 88 minutes later.

This PR removes the copy, so this kind of break can't happen again:

  • Group ownership now comes from ci-guards.yml. Each step's if: ${{ matrix.group == '<group>' }} names its group, and every path its run: executes directly belongs to that group.
  • The router reads the workflow with a small line scanner, because the changes job runs on bare python3 without PyYAML. A test checks the scanner against yaml.safe_load field by field on the real workflow. If the workflow can't be read, the router falls back to running every group.
  • STEP_OWNERS is deleted. PATH_OWNERS keeps only the 24 indirect inputs: imported scripts, the agent-chat working directory, the ghostty submodule and the cloud-vm skill files. The 117 direct entries are now derived.
  • If a step names a group that isn't in GROUPS, the test fails on that PR and names the file to edit.

Routing is unchanged. For every path the old tables knew, the old and new groups_for_path return the same result, and the derived step map equals the old STEP_OWNERS exactly (112 steps).

Testing

  • python3 tests/test_ci_linux_guard_routing.py: 25 tests pass. New tests cover the scanner against YAML, unknown groups, the regression (a new step running a new test routes to its group with no manifest edit) and the fallback when the workflow can't be read.
  • test_ci_change_areas.py, test_ci_guard_workflow_structure.py and the app-host, quality and release guard-structure tests all pass.
  • py_compile passes, and check-test-determinism.py --strict reports 0 findings.

Checklist

  • No workflow or ruleset changes
  • No change to routing results

Summary by cubic

Derives guard step ownership from ci-guards.yml instead of a hand-written copy, so two PRs that each pass alone can no longer combine into a manifest that disagrees with the workflow and breaks main.

  • Reads each step's group from its if: ${{ matrix.group == '<group>' }} and derives every path its run: executes directly.
  • Uses a small line scanner because the changes job runs on bare python3 without PyYAML; a test compares the scanner with yaml.safe_load field by field.
  • Fails open to every group when the workflow can't be read.
  • Deletes STEP_OWNERS; PATH_OWNERS keeps only the 24 indirect inputs. Routing is unchanged for every path the old tables knew.
  • A step naming a group not in GROUPS fails on that PR with the file to edit.

Written for commit a5e3d32. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor

    • CI guard ownership is now derived directly from the guard workflow, reducing the need for manually maintained routing information.
    • Path-to-group routing now handles unreadable guard workflows by checking all groups, improving resilience.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for workflow parsing, step ordering, automatic recognition of new guard steps, and fallback routing behavior.
    • Updated routing tests to validate ownership against the workflow configuration.

The Linux guard router kept a hand-written copy of every
workflow-guard-tests step (STEP_OWNERS) and every path those steps run
(PATH_OWNERS), and a test required the copy to equal the workflow. Two
PRs that each passed alone could land a copy that disagreed with the
workflow: #13535 added "Validate build graph health tooling" while
#13585 introduced the copy, and every PR failed guards until #13609.

Ownership now comes from the workflow. Each step's
`if: ${{ matrix.group == '<group>' }}` names its group and each path its
`run:` executes belongs to that group. The router reads ci-guards.yml
with a small line scanner, because the changes job runs on bare python3
without PyYAML; a test holds the scanner to yaml.safe_load field by
field. An unreadable workflow fails open to every group.

STEP_OWNERS is gone, and PATH_OWNERS keeps only the 24 indirect inputs
(imported scripts, the agent-chat working directory, the ghostty
submodule, skill files). Routing is unchanged for every path the old
tables knew. A step with an unknown group fails its own PR with the
exact file to edit.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The guard router now derives step and direct-path ownership from ci-guards.yml. It removes the duplicated step manifest, retains only indirect path ownership entries, and fails open when the workflow cannot be read. Tests validate parsing, ownership derivation, and fallback behavior.

Changes

Guard routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow ownership source
scripts/ci/workflow_guard_groups.py
Added guard workflow constants and removed the duplicated STEP_OWNERS table and path entries covered by workflow scanning.
Workflow parsing and routing
scripts/ci/workflow_guard_groups.py
Added workflow scanning, group ownership derivation, direct path mapping, cached reads, and fail-open routing for unreadable or invalid workflow content.
Routing validation
tests/test_ci_linux_guard_routing.py
Updated tests for the new interface and added coverage for scanner parity, known groups, automatic ownership derivation, and fail-open behavior.

Fail open for unrecognized conditions on directly executed paths.

ci-guards.yml already contains valid compound matrix.group conditions for setup steps at lines 170 and 195. A blanket error for every unmatched matrix.group condition would reject these steps and make _workflow_path_owners() route every path to all groups.

The narrower issue remains for a step that both references matrix.group in an unsupported form and directly executes a repository path. Both ownership helpers silently skip that step. A later change to such a path can then omit its actual group while generic routing still returns a non-empty result.

Raise GuardWorkflowError only when an unmatched matrix.group condition occurs on a step containing a DIRECT_PATH run. Add a near-miss test for this case.

Suggested fix
+        condition = step.get("if", "")
-        match = GROUP_CONDITION.fullmatch(step.get("if", ""))
+        match = GROUP_CONDITION.fullmatch(condition)
         if match is None:
+            if "matrix.group" in condition and DIRECT_PATH.search(step.get("run", "")):
+                raise GuardWorkflowError(
+                    f"unsupported matrix.group condition for direct path: {condition!r}"
+                )
             continue

Apply the same guard in direct_path_owners().

main now derives guard step and path ownership from ci-guards.yml (#13642), so the hand-written STEP_OWNERS/PATH_OWNERS entries for the build-only reload guard are dropped; the step's matrix.group condition still routes it to preflight.
