Adds configurable batching to scheduled iOS uploads. The checkout prerequisite #13703 has merged; this PR is based on current main.

Problem

Both iOS upload workflows poll main: CMUX INTERNAL every 20 minutes, official cmux.app every hour. Their decide jobs skip only when main is unchanged, when no iOS path changed (INTERNAL), or, since #13660, when the last attempt failed and no iOS path changed since then. On a busy day (~100 merges) nearly every poll finds something, so INTERNAL uploads about every 20 minutes and official about every hour. Each upload is a cold Release archive on a Blacksmith macOS runner, and PR CI uses the same pool, where queues already run 30–60 minutes.

Rule

A scheduled poll that the existing rules would already upload now also has to pass a batching check. It uploads when

at least one relevant commit is pending since the last successful upload AND (pending relevant commits ≥ N OR the oldest pending relevant commit is ≥ T minutes old)

  • workflow_dispatch always uploads, as today.
  • The twice-daily DEMO lane is not batched.
  • Every existing skip rule is unchanged. The check runs only when those rules have already chosen to upload against a known prior upload. The first upload, with no prior upload, is not batched.
  • The polls stay as they are. No push trigger is added.
  • The step summary gets the reason, for example skipped: 2/5 iOS commits, oldest 45/180 min or upload: 1/5 iOS commits, oldest 181/180 min (age reached).

"Commits" means main's first-parent commits, one per merged PR, each diffed against its first parent. A commit's age is its committer date, which is when the PR landed on main.

Defaults and tuning

Lane N (repo var, default) T (repo var, default)
CMUX INTERNAL IOS_TESTFLIGHT_INTERNAL_MIN_COMMITS = 5 IOS_TESTFLIGHT_INTERNAL_MAX_AGE_MINUTES = 180
official cmux.app IOS_APPSTORE_MIN_COMMITS = 10 IOS_APPSTORE_MAX_AGE_MINUTES = 360

Set them under Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → Variables. If a variable is unset or empty, the in-workflow default applies. An invalid value logs a warning and falls back to the default, so a typo can't stop uploads. Zero disables only that threshold: MIN_COMMITS=0 uses age alone, and MAX_AGE_MINUTES=0 uses count alone. Set both to zero to disable batching and upload any pending change. MIN_COMMITS=1 also uploads any pending relevant commit.

What counts as relevant

  • INTERNAL reuses the workflow's own iosRelevantPaths array. The script reads that array from ios-testflight.yml itself, so the list still lives in one place, with the same prefix/exact matching.
  • Official has no path filter today (it skips only unchanged revisions), so every main commit counts. Adding an iOS path filter to that lane would be a separate change.

How it works

  • scripts/ci/ios_upload_batch_decision.py holds the rule (pure decide() plus the git reader).
  • The decide job adds two steps that run only when needed:
  • The job output becomes steps.batch.outputs.X || steps.decide.outputs.X, so every other path keeps the decide script's answer.
  • REST cost:
    • INTERNAL: no new REST calls. History comes from git.
    • Official: one new call, actions/artifacts?name=cmux-app-testflight-upload, which gives the SHA of the last completed upload.
  • Anything the script can't read (for example, a base that isn't an ancestor) fails open to an upload, the same way the existing compare step does.
  • One necessary change to the official "unchanged" check. A poll that batching skips still concludes successfully. If "last successful run == HEAD" alone meant "already shipped", a quiet main would never reach the age threshold. The skip now requires the last successful run and the last completed upload marker to both be HEAD. The assignment-retry path is untouched.

Expected upload counts

Simulated on real main first-parent history, 2026-09-08 → 09-22, with polls at the real cron offsets. The old column models only the "any relevant change" rule.

Day Merges iOS merges INTERNAL before → after Official before → after
Busy (09-22) 122 20 13 → 4 16 → 8
Busy (09-21) 95 13 12 → 4 20 → 6
Busy (09-20) 105 8 7 → 3 20 → 7
Quiet (09-19) 13 1 1 → 1 8 → 3
Quiet (09-08) 7 4 3 → 1 4 → 0 (carried over)
15 days total 110 → 48 197 → 59

Every relevant change still ships: at the latest one poll after T (≤ 3 h 20 min for INTERNAL, ≤ 7 h for official), and sooner once N pile up.

Tests

  • New: tests/test_ios_upload_batching.py, 20 tests.
    • Rule cases: below both thresholds → skip; count reached → upload; age reached with 1 commit → upload; zero commits → skip regardless of age; dispatch → upload; unset vars → defaults; invalid vars → defaults with a warning.
    • The git reader against a real repo with a --no-ff merge: first-parent counting and merge diffs.
    • Fail-open on an unreachable base.
    • The workflow wiring.
    • The path list read from the workflow matches the notes generator's contract.
  • Registered in ci-guards.yml (release-ios) and in PATH_OWNERS in scripts/ci/workflow_guard_groups.py.
  • Passing locally:
    • every tests/test_ios_*.py
    • tests/test_ci_linux_guard_routing.py, tests/test_ci_release_guard_structure.py, tests/test_ci_guard_workflow_structure.py

Summary by cubic

Batches the scheduled iOS TestFlight uploads (CMUX INTERNAL every 20 min, cmux.app hourly) by pending commit count and age, and shrinks their macOS checkout to free up the shared runner pool.

Batching rule

  • A scheduled poll uploads only when the existing rules would AND (≥ N pending relevant commits OR the oldest is ≥ T minutes old). Defaults are 5/180 min (INTERNAL) and 10/360 min (official), configurable via repo variables; unset or invalid values fall back to the defaults.
  • Manual dispatch and the DEMO lane are unchanged. The official unchanged-skip now also requires the last completed upload marker to be HEAD, because a batch-skipped poll still concludes successfully.
  • The count uses main's first-parent commits from a sparse, blobless, history-deepened checkout: no new REST calls for INTERNAL, one for official. If the base is reachable only through a merge's second parent, the script fails open to an upload.
  • Reuses the workflow's own path filter for INTERNAL relevance; the official lane has none, so every main commit counts.
  • The batch steps run under a 5-minute timeout and continue on error, so any failure there falls back to the decide script's answer instead of stopping scheduled uploads.

Lean macOS checkout

  • Upload checkouts are now fetch-depth 1 with no submodules or tags; the prebuilt GhosttyKit downloads first, and zig plus the from-source build run only when it's unavailable.
  • INTERNAL's notes range is fetched after checkout by a new script that deepens only to the previous beta commit; history that can't be fetched falls back to the generic notes line without failing the upload.

Written for commit 16e1817. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflows now batch scheduled iOS uploads by commit count and age. They use shallow checkouts, bounded TestFlight history fetching, and prebuilt GhosttyKit downloads with source-build fallbacks. New tests validate the batching, checkout, history, and workflow wiring.

Changes

Scheduled Upload Batching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Batch decision policy
scripts/ci/ios_upload_batch_decision.py, tests/test_ios_upload_batching.py
The new decision script resolves thresholds, filters relevant first-parent commits, applies count and age rules, and fails open on history errors. Tests cover policy, thresholds, path filtering, Git history, and CLI behavior.
Scheduled workflow integration
.github/workflows/ios-appstore-upload.yml, .github/workflows/ios-testflight.yml, tests/test-execution.toml, .github/workflows/ci-guards.yml, scripts/ci/workflow_guard_groups.py, tests/test_ios_upload_batching.py
Scheduled official and internal uploads invoke the batch decision. The workflow outputs use the batch result when available, and failures fall back to the existing decision. Guard registration and workflow tests cover the integration.

Lean iOS Upload Checkout

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shallow checkout and GhosttyKit provisioning
.github/workflows/ios-appstore-upload.yml, .github/workflows/ios-testflight.yml, tests/test_ios_upload_lean_checkout.py
The upload jobs use depth-one checkouts without submodules or tags. They download GhosttyKit by gitlink SHA and run Zig installation and source builds only when the prebuilt artifact is unavailable.
TestFlight notes history
ios/scripts/fetch-testflight-notes-history.sh, .github/workflows/ios-testflight.yml, tests/test_ios_upload_lean_checkout.py
The new script fetches bounded history for the previous upload range, repairs shallow boundaries, and exits successfully on invalid or unavailable bases. The TestFlight workflow runs it as a best-effort step for notes generation.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8010a

Setting a batching threshold to 0 does not disable it as documented. It either falls back to the default or triggers an upload on every scheduled poll. Separately, unusual file names can hide relevant iOS commits, and some histories can repeat earlier changes in TestFlight notes. Align the zero-threshold behavior with the documented contract before merging.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 15.07% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 73 functions across 5 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The new production shell script rescans the growing Git history on every deepening round. In ios/scripts/fetch-testflight-notes-history.sh:159-200, each iteration calls range_incomplete() or newest_boundary_time() and commit_count() before and after fetching. These functions run git rev-list/git log over the full range and sort boundary timestamps (:76, :91-98, :127-133). With the documented 20,000-commit bound and 250-commit step, this can perform O(n²/250) history traversal and repeated sorting. The PR contains functional bound tests, but no benchmark or measurement for this worst-case path.

Resolution

Use one incremental traversal or cached boundary/count metadata across deepening rounds. Do not rerun full git rev-list/git log and sorting over all fetched commits after every 250-commit fetch. If repeated scans remain necessary, add a benchmark or profiling result for the 20,000-commit bound and make the measured threshold explicit.

Triage note — confirming the stack, and flagging one review risk.

You state this is stacked on #13703, but the pull request's base is main, so the Files tab shows both commits: seven shared files including all of ios/scripts/fetch-testflight-notes-history.sh and tests/test_ios_upload_lean_checkout.py. That is why this pair scores as the highest file overlap of any two PRs in the open queue. It is a stack, not a duplicate, and I am leaving both open — but a reviewer landing on this cold will not know that from the diff. Consider retargeting the base to ios-upload-lean-checkout so GitHub shows only your commit, the way #13736 and #13744 do against fix/app-host-green.

Sequencing: #13703 first. No conflict between them, and reviewing this one first means reading #13703's diff twice.

The risk worth a test. #13703 introduces fetch-testflight-notes-history.sh for release-note text — if its deepen fallback under-fetches, you get a generic "What to Test" line and ship anyway. This PR makes the same script an input to the decision whether to upload at all: the batch step runs it to reach the last-upload base before ios_upload_batch_decision.py counts pending commits. A short fetch there does not degrade a string, it miscounts commits, and the rule then either skips an upload that was due or fires one that was not. Your description says anything unreadable fails open to an upload — worth confirming that covers "base fetched, but shallow enough that the first-parent walk is truncated", which is not obviously the same case as "base is not an ancestor". #13703's tests cover the deepen bound for note text; nothing yet covers it for the count.

The simulation table (INTERNAL 13→4, official 16→8 on a 122-merge day) is the strongest scheduling evidence in the CI backlog, and it is measured against real first-parent history rather than modelled. Please keep that table in the description if this gets rebased.

…oads

The two macOS upload jobs (ios-testflight.yml, ios-appstore-upload.yml)
cloned with fetch-depth 0 + recursive submodules (~12 min) and installed
zig unconditionally (~6 min) before any build.

- Checkout is fetch-depth 1 with no submodules and no tags. The iOS
  archive links only GhosttyKit.xcframework; bonsplit and homebrew-cmux
  are macOS/release-only, and the ghostty source is needed only for the
  from-source fallback.
- The pinned prebuilt GhosttyKit is downloaded first, keyed by the
  ghostty gitlink (git rev-parse HEAD:ghostty). Only if that fails does
  the job fetch ghostty at depth 1, install zig, and run
  ensure-ghosttykit.sh from source (the reload-build.yml pattern).
- The CMUX INTERNAL notes range (last_uploaded_sha..HEAD) is fetched by
  ios/scripts/fetch-testflight-notes-history.sh: base at depth 1, then
  --shallow-since one day before it, then bounded deepening. All fetches
  are blobless (--filter=blob:none), which the path-limited notes log
  does not need and which makes deepening ~10x cheaper. The official
  lane reads no history (changelog notes, timestamp build numbers).
- main has merge commits, so the ancestor check alone is not enough: a
  merged side branch can hold commits older than the --shallow-since
  cutoff. The script keeps deepening while <base>..HEAD still has a
  shallow boundary in it, or a range commit is no newer than a boundary
  of the base's own history, and repairs .git/shallow after every fetch
  (a --shallow-since fetch can record a boundary it never sent, and the
  base can stay marked shallow after its parents arrive). On the real
  case head 11396c3 / base 3337293 the notes went 4 lines -> 21,
  identical to a full clone, in ~20 s and 320/320 range commits.
- A force-pushed-away base now stops as soon as <base>..HEAD has no
  shallow boundary left (or every boundary is more than a week older
  than the cutoff) instead of running the deepen budget out, and the
  step carries timeout-minutes: 5 plus continue-on-error: true. Every
  script path still exits 0.
- tests/test_ios_upload_lean_checkout.py pins the policy and exercises
  the fetch script against real shallow clones, including a merge whose
  side branch predates the cutoff and a force-pushed base; wired into
  ci-guards (release-ios) and tests/test-execution.toml.

On a busy day nearly every poll finds an iOS-relevant merge, so CMUX
INTERNAL uploaded about every 20 minutes and official cmux.app every
hour, each a cold Release archive on the macOS pool PR CI shares.

A scheduled poll that the existing rules would upload now also needs
(pending relevant commits >= N) OR (oldest pending relevant commit >= T
minutes old), with at least one pending. Manual dispatch always uploads;
the twice-daily DEMO lane is not batched. Every existing skip rule is
unchanged.

- INTERNAL: IOS_TESTFLIGHT_INTERNAL_MIN_COMMITS (default 5) and
  IOS_TESTFLIGHT_INTERNAL_MAX_AGE_MINUTES (default 180); relevant means
  the workflow's own iosRelevantPaths array, read from the workflow.
- Official: IOS_APPSTORE_MIN_COMMITS (default 10) and
  IOS_APPSTORE_MAX_AGE_MINUTES (default 360); this lane has no path
  filter, so every main commit counts. Its "unchanged" check now also
  requires the last completed upload (the upload marker artifact) to be
  HEAD, because a batch-skipped poll also concludes successfully.
- scripts/ci/ios_upload_batch_decision.py holds the rule. It counts
  main's first-parent commits (one per merged PR) from a blobless sparse
  checkout deepened by fetch-testflight-notes-history.sh, so no extra
  REST calls for INTERNAL and one for official. History it cannot read
  fails open to an upload. The reason goes to the step summary.
- tests/test_ios_upload_batching.py covers the rule, the git reader on
  a real repository with a merge, and the wiring; registered in
  ci-guards (release-ios) and the guard ownership manifest.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A persistent failure in the checkout or batch step (missing script,
runner without python3, renamed path) failed the whole decide job and
stopped scheduled uploads. The steps now continue on error, so their
output stays empty and the job keeps decide's upload answer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both batch steps shell out to ios/scripts/fetch-testflight-notes-history.sh,
which deepens history in a loop. The upload job already wraps that same script
in timeout-minutes: 5; the batch steps had no bound, so a pathological deepen
would hold a Linux runner for the decide job's 360-minute budget.

Both steps are continue-on-error, so a timeout falls back to the decide job's
answer and uploads proceed -- the same fail-open path every other error in
these steps already takes.

Also reproduced the incomplete first-parent-history concern: a shallow boundary can leave the upload base reachable through the second parent while truncating main's history. Test-only commit 4e0217b fails against the prior implementation; 16e1817 requires the first-parent walk to reach the upload base and falls back to uploading otherwise. All 25 batching tests pass.
