`ci-status` accepts only `success` or `skipped` from each of its `needs`, so an `app-host unit tests` shard concluding `failure` fails the `macos` reusable-workflow call and the required check by construction; no later job takes it back. Across the 299 CI runs created between 2026-09-22T06:05Z and 17:00Z, 21 runs had such a shard failure, `ci-status` concluded `failure` in all 21, and their sibling macOS jobs burned 1,522 macOS runner-minutes after the verdict was already fixed. This lands as a fourth category in the queue janitor rather than a second janitor. Reclaiming macOS pool capacity is that module's charter, and putting it there means one queue threshold, one priority order, one per-sweep cancel cap and one concurrency group instead of two workflows with `actions: write` and no shared bound. The threshold gate is also the right policy on its own terms: cancelling a doomed run when the pool is idle frees nothing anybody is waiting for and still destroys the remaining shard output. The category is ordered last. Categories (a) to (c) cancel runs nobody will read -- an experiment push, a closed or superseded PR, a replaced full-suite run. A doomed run is still current and its remaining shards are still readable, so it is the most debatable of the four and is spent only after the others. That same difference is why this category needs a fix-branch exclusion the others do not. A run whose diff touches the shards' own inputs is the run whose remaining shards someone is waiting on, and is never cancelled; `no-janitor` covers a fix the path list cannot recognise, and an unreadable diff preserves the run. Replayed over the 21 real runs, this preserves every app-host repair among them (#13643, #13579, #13574, #13427, #13414, #13615, #13263, #13271, and #13408 which was cancelled by hand and had to be restarted) and leaves two unrelated runs eligible.

macOS CI concurrency on Blacksmith is roughly ten slots, and a 36-deep macOS queue was observed against it (#13707). A run whose verdict is already decided keeps holding those slots until it finishes or times out.
This is structural, not statistical.
ci-statusinci.ymldeclaresneeds: [changes, static-preflight, guards, ghosttykit-release-check, cli, web, linux-preflight, macos-debounce, macos, tests]withif: ${{ always() }}, and accepts onlysuccessorskippedfrom each. Anapp-host unit testsshard concludingfailuretherefore fails themacosreusable-workflow call and the required check by construction — no later job can take it back. A census of the 299 CI runs created between 2026-09-22T06:05Z and 17:00Z confirms the construction behaves as written: 21 runs had such a shard failure,ci-statusconcludedfailurein all 21, and their sibling macOS jobs burned 1,522 macOS runner-minutes after the verdict was already fixed. One run held four macOS jobs for 353 of them.Resulting behavior
This lands as a fourth category in
scripts/ci/queue_janitor.py(#13721), not as a second janitor. A run isdoomedwhen anapp-host unit testsshard has concludedfailurewhile the run still holds macOS jobs. Cancelling it makesci-statusreport the failure it was already headed for rather than leaving it pending — verified on cancelled runs 35446690615 and 35445456570, whereci-statuscompleted asfailure.Why the queue janitor and not
ci-stale-run-janitorReclaiming macOS pool capacity is exactly the queue janitor's charter;
ci-stale-run-janitoris about runs abandoned for a day or more, and this rule has nothing to do with age — an earlier draft had to bypass itsMIN_AGE_MINUTESentirely, which was the tell. Putting it here means one queue threshold, one priority order, one per-sweep cancel cap and one concurrency group, instead of two workflows holdingactions: writewith no shared bound and no shared notion of when cancelling is allowed.The threshold gate is also the right policy on its own terms, not just an inherited constraint: cancelling a doomed run while the pool is idle frees nothing anybody is waiting for and still destroys the remaining shard output. The rule should only fire under contention, which is what
CI_JANITOR_QUEUE_THRESHOLDalready expresses.This changes the dry-run posture, deliberately. The queue janitor's scheduled sweeps cancel for real unless
vars.CI_JANITOR_DRY_RUNistrue; a manual dispatch defaults to a dry run. Shipping a report-only category inside a module whose merged policy is to act would be incoherent, so this category inherits that posture. What bounds it instead is the queue threshold, the per-sweep cap, the ordering below, the repo-variable kill switch, and the exclusions.Ordered last, and why it needs an exclusion the others do not
Categories (a)–(c) cancel runs nobody will read: an
exp/*experiment push, a closed/merged/superseded PR, a full-suite run already replaced by a newer one. A doomed run is different — it is still current, its PR is open, and its remaining shards are still readable output. That makes it the most debatable of the four, so it is spent only after the others, and it carries a fix-branch exclusion:cmuxTests/, the shard/isolation/compile/grading scripts underscripts/ci/, the known-failure quarantine list,ci-macos.yml— is never cancelled.no-janitorlabel.Sources/is deliberately not in the path list: the suite exercises it, but nearly every PR changes it, and a set matching every PR is not a rule.continue-on-errorfailuressuccess. A test pins the absence of a job-levelcontinue-on-erroronapp-host-unit-tests, which the conclusion would not absorb.Default-branch pushes, merge groups, releases, tags, nightly and TestFlight were already protected by
protected_reason; the doomed branch inherits that unchanged.I checked whether #13721's existing categories need the same exclusion. They do not, and I found no defect: (b) requires the PR to be closed, merged, or superseded by a newer head, and (c) requires a newer CI run already waiting to replace the old one. In every case the result is already unwanted or already being recomputed, so there is no fix-branch to protect. The doomed category is the only one that acts on a live, current run.
One narrowing worth stating: this uses the module's existing
is_macos_job(label containsmacos) rather than addingtart/m4promarkers. Across every job in the census, the macOS runner labels areblacksmith-6vcpu-macos-15/26andwarp-macos-15/26-arm64— all matched — and notartorm4prolabel appears at all. Keeping one definition of macOS demand in the module is worth more than markers that match nothing.Validation
RUNNER_TEMP=/tmp/rt python3 tests/test_ci_queue_janitor.py— 51 tests, all passing (33 pre-existing, 18 new). The pre-existing 33 pass unchanged except for threading the newnowargument through two call sites. New coverage: the verified class isdoomed; no macOS job left to reclaim is kept; macOS jobs held without a shard failure are kept; acontinue-on-errorstep failure is kept; a fix-branch diff is kept over seven real repair paths; an unreadable or truncated diff, an undated failure, a missingrun_attemptand a re-run all fail closed;no-janitoris honoured; earlier categories still win on a closed or superseded PR; and two plan-level tests prove the category is spent last under the shared cap and does not fire below the queue threshold.Also green:
test_ci_workflow_guards_are_wired.py,test_ci_guard_workflow_structure.py(4 passed),test_ci_actionlint_covers_every_workflow.py, andscripts/ci/validate_test_execution_registry.py(223 tests registered — the drift I saw earlier was fixed upstream by #13738).Live dry run through the real entry point, read-only, 2026-09-22:

ci-6134-isolate-ssh-fish-hangwas cancelled by hand while this was being designed. It is PR #13408, whose only changed file iscmuxTests/WorkspaceSSHFishShellTests.swift— a fix for "Run SSH fish foreground-auth hang regression", one of the very app-host steps that was failing. The run had to be restarted. That path is now a test case. It is also why the diff test is preferred over a[no-janitor]marker alone: the person fixing a red suite is the least likely to remember a marker.Considered and rejected: the Linux guard class
A second class was investigated — a run where a Linux guard job (
guards / *,Guard status,linux-preflight) failed while macOS jobs are still running. It is structurally sound and larger than the class that ships, and it does not ship. Over the same 299 runs: 66 had a failed Linux guard job,ci-statusconcludedfailurein 66 of 66, and 1,316 macOS runner-minutes sat behind the decided verdict.Re-run rate is fine. 0 of the 66 guard-failure commits ever got a second CI attempt (15 of 967 runs in the surrounding window are re-runs at all). Guard failures are not routinely re-run as flakes.
The disqualifier is that it cancels in-flight macOS compiles. Linux guards are cheap and fail fast, so they fail while
macos-compile-admissionis still compiling. At the decision point — first guard failure plus the 10-minute grace — compile admission had already succeeded in 0 of the runs with anything to reclaim, and 1,316 of the 1,316 reclaimable minutes (100%) sat in runs still compiling.How to read that number. Throughout the measurement window #13709 was open and cross-run compiled-product reuse returned zero hits on pull requests, so those compiles produced nothing another run would consume. #13718 merged at 2026-09-22T17:40Z (
3f3e6038) and closed #13709, so reuse is now expected to hit and cancelling mid-compile-admission discards a product other runs would consume. The rule would move a compile onto whoever needs it next rather than save capacity.Notably #13721 reached the same conclusion independently: its category (c) already refuses to cancel a run whose compile admission is mid-flight, for the same reason. The narrowing that would follow from it — cancel only once compile admission has succeeded — reclaims 0 runs and 0 minutes, because by then the guards have long since concluded. There is no safe subset, so the class is dropped rather than shipped narrow.
The class that ships has no such problem:
app-host-unit-testsneedsmacos-compile-admissionto have concludedsuccess, so the compile is finished and published before any shard can fail. Confirmed in 21 of 21 runs in this class.Remaining gap
The guard class stays unaddressed and it is the larger one. Reclaiming it needs a mechanism this janitor does not have — letting the macOS compile finish and publish while cancelling only the test shards behind it, which the Actions API cannot express as a single run cancellation. That is a separate change, and now that #13718 has landed it should be designed against reuse actually working.
The whole census also predates #13718, so it measures a world in which no pull-request run reused a compiled product. Once reuse starts hitting, macOS job durations and the mix of jobs still running at a shard failure both change, and the 1,522-minute figure should be re-measured. No
REUSE_HIT=truehas been observed in production yet, so that should wait until one is.Finally, the rule is by design quiet: it fires only under queue pressure, only after three other categories, and never on a run that is fixing the suite. A predicate that rarely fires is the right trade against one that cancels the run someone is using to make CI green.
