A focused dispatch that runs one test class for 15 seconds first pays a full cold Debug build. -only-testing: narrows execution, never compilation, and test-e2e.yml was a single job that compiled and then tested. Re-running a failed dispatch paid the build again.

Resulting behavior

Split the way ci-macos.yml already works:

job runner does
filter Linux normalizes and validates the selector, in seconds, before either macOS job is scheduled
build macOS compiles once via compile-app-host-test-product.sh build, publishes the product
test macOS downloads that product, runs test-without-building, compiles nothing

build builds cmux, cmux-unit and cmux-numeric-locale, so one product serves cmuxTests and cmuxUITests alike, and publishes under the same app-host-products-v1-<contract-key>-<attempt> name compile admission uses. test reads it over parallel_artifact_download.py (#13749), falls back to actions/download-artifact, verifies the archive SHA-256 build published, and passes one -only-testing: per selector to a single xcodebuild.

Multiple filters share the one build and run in one test job: measured test execution is ~15 s median, so a job-per-filter would pay a product download and app-host setup per selector to parallelize seconds of work.

Before / after

Measured over 60 dispatches, 2026-09-22T21:19Z → 2026-09-23T05:18Z: median e2e job execution 20.0 min, of which ~15.3 min is xcodebuild and ~15 s is tests.

before after
fresh dispatch one job: setup + ~15.3 min compile + tests build (setup + compile + upload) then test (setup + download + tests)
re-run of a failed dispatch recompiles, ~15.3 min re-downloads the product, no compile
malformed selector rejected after the compile it already paid for rejected in seconds, on Linux, before any macOS job
reruns within 3 days full rebuild artifact retention covers it

Stated plainly: for a single fresh dispatch this does not reduce total runner minutes. It adds a second runner's checkout and setup plus an artifact round trip, against a compile it does not yet avoid. The win today is reruns and the cheap early filter; the large win needs cross-run adoption, which this PR deliberately does not attempt.

The hit rate, and why I am not quoting one

Within a run the handoff is unconditional — test never compiles. Across runs the rate is 0 by construction, because nothing adopts a product from an earlier run yet. I did not ship a lookup step that always reports a miss; that would be dead code wearing a feature's name.

Four checks currently reject a test-e2e.yml consumer, and they are the whole follow-up:

  1. reuse_app_host_products.py:trusted_ci_run requires run.path == .github/workflows/ci.yml for producer and consumer, so a dispatch consumer records consumer_untrusted.
  2. PERMITTED_PRODUCERS has no workflow_dispatch key, so main() records consumer_event_disallowed before any lookup happens.
  3. load_consumer requires attested_checkout, i.e. the local checkout equals the run's head_sha. A dispatch checks out a caller-chosen ref while head_sha names the workflow ref, so this fails for essentially every dispatch. select() applies the same rule to the producer.
  4. parallel_artifact_download.py rejects an artifact whose workflow_run.id is not GITHUB_RUN_ID, so a cross-run product falls back to the ~2 MB/s single-stream download.

(1) and (2) are the widening the required lane must not inherit; (3) is the interesting one, because it conflates producer adoption identity with consumer execution compatibility. Publishing under the admission artifact name here is what makes that follow-up a small change.

Measured ceiling for it: of 45 cmuxTests dispatches in an 8-hour window, 16 (35.6%) targeted a ref another run in the window also targeted. That is an in-window upper bound, not a prediction, and it is only reachable once dispatches share one runner pool — the contract key pins the pool, so today's macOS 15/26 split defeats it. #13902 does that half.

Validation, and what is unverified

  • linux-guard lane, 132 tests, green.
  • tests/test_ci_e2e_compilation_cache.py extended to the two-job shape: new assertions that build compiles exactly once, that no test step compiles at all, that the published artifact name matches the admission name, that test verifies the SHA-256 before use, and that a missing xctestrun fails loudly instead of silently compiling.
  • The extracted filter script was executed directly on Linux against 8 inputs (single, batched, bare, mixed-target, empty, leading/trailing comma, duplicate) and matches the previous behavior exactly.
  • tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh's continue-on-error allowlist was keyed on job_id != "e2e"; it is now (job, id, name, uses) tuples, and admits the parallel transport step, which has a canonical fallback.

Unverified: none of this has run on a macOS runner. I cannot execute the lane from here. The first dispatch is the real test, and the things most likely to be wrong are the xctestrun handoff between jobs and the UI-test behavior change below.

Behavior change worth watching: cmuxUITests now executes an app built with the admission recipe (CMUX_SKIP_ZIG_BUILD=1 plus the app-host isolation flags) rather than the plain -scheme cmux build this lane used. That is what ci-macos.yml already runs its UI tests against, but it is a real difference from what this lane did yesterday.

Conflicts

Rewrites most of .github/workflows/test-e2e.yml and touches tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, overlapping #13900 and #13902. #13900 is smallest and should land first; its Bound E2E compilation cache hunk will need re-placing into the new build job rather than re-indenting, since that step moved jobs and is now keyed off the compile step instead of steps.tests.outcome. Happy to rebase behind both.

Summary by cubic

Splits test-e2e.yml into filter, build, and test jobs so a dispatch compiles the Debug test product once, and re-running a failed job re-downloads it instead of recompiling.

filter rejects bad selectors on Linux in seconds, before any macOS job is scheduled. build compiles cmux, cmux-unit, and cmux-numeric-locale once, seeds the E2E compilation cache, and publishes the product under the admission artifact name with three-day retention. test downloads that product over parallel range requests with a single-stream fallback, verifies the published SHA-256, and runs test-without-building, compiling nothing. A fresh dispatch is not faster overall; the win today is reruns and cheap early rejection. Cross-run adoption is out of scope.

Review fixes

  • test now sets the app-host isolation marker and shard and cleans up the prepared home; without these every cmuxTests dispatch fails before running a test.
  • The isolation guard now scans every workflow for app-host home preparation instead of naming ci-macos.yml directly.
  • Upload test results was collecting a path test-without-building never writes; xcresults are now captured under runner.temp.
  • job_timeout now defaults to 45.
  • The product key step moved after Install Rust; contract() resolves rustc through shutil.which.

Behavior change worth watching
cmuxUITests now runs against an app built with the admission recipe (CMUX_SKIP_ZIG_BUILD=1 plus app-host isolation flags) rather than the plain -scheme cmux build this lane used. The lane has not run on a macOS runner yet.

Conflicts: rewrites most of test-e2e.yml and overlaps #13900 and #13902; the Bound E2E compilation cache hunk from #13900 will need re-placing in the new build job.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The E2E workflow separates selector filtering, product compilation, and test execution into jobs. The build job publishes compiled test products. The test job verifies and restores them before running target-specific manifests without building. CI checks cover product handling, ref resolution, and app-host home cleanup.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5bb0f

Splitting the E2E workflow into filter, build, and test jobs is largely sound. Reruns can reuse the built product, and UI test results are now uploaded. However, the test job's cleanup of the isolated app-host home differs from the main macOS CI workflow in two ways: it does not run as the console user, and it is skipped when preparation fails partway. This can leave stale isolated homes on shared self-hosted runners, and the new guard test would not catch that regression. Align the cleanup step with the main CI workflow, and tighten the guard to require the same form, before merging.

Independent agent review (subagent of the session that opened this): request changes — one blocking runtime bug. All fixed in d18fc16; recording the review since it's the basis for the change, and because it caught something no green check would have.

The blocking one

Every cmuxTests dispatch would have failed, deterministically, before running a test — about three quarters of this lane's traffic by the PR's own measurement.

Prepare isolated app-host home was new in this PR. prepare-app-host-home.sh:13 → app-host-isolation.sh:76-77 requires CMUX_APP_HOST_SHARD to be a decimal integer. ci-macos.yml:967 feeds it from the test matrix; this lane has no matrix and set nothing. The reviewer reproduced it on Linux:

$ bash scripts/ci/prepare-app-host-home.sh
FAIL: app-host identity CMUX_APP_HOST_SHARD must be a decimal integer
EXIT=1

And deleting the step is not the fix: compile-app-host-test-product.sh:111 compiles with CMUX_CI_APP_HOST_ISOLATION_REQUIRED, which flips appHostIsolationRequiredByBuild in cmuxTests/MacSentryStartupPolicyTests.swift:71-77, so the app host then #requires CMUX_APP_HOST_EXPECTED_HOME — which run-app-host-xcodebuild.sh:110-127 only emits once the home is prepared. The step is genuinely required; it just had no identity.

Fixed by publishing CMUX_APP_HOST_SHARD: "1" and CMUX_CI_APP_HOST_ISOLATION_REQUIRED: "1" on the test job. Verified against the script: exit 1 without, exit 0 with.

Why four green guards missed it

tests/test_ci_app_host_home_isolation.py enforces exactly this contract — shard, isolation marker, paired cleanup — but it names app-host-unit-tests in ci-macos.yml directly. A second lane adopting the pattern was checked by nothing.

That's the root cause, so that's what I fixed. The guard now finds every job running prepare-app-host-home.sh across the known workflows and requires the marker, a non-empty shard, and a cleanup gated to run after failures. Mutation-tested against this workflow — removing the shard, removing the marker, deleting the cleanup, or ungating the cleanup each fail with a specific message.

Also fixed from the same review

  • No cleanup for the prepared home. ci-macos.yml:2132-2149 pairs it; this didn't, so /tmp/cmux-ah-* leaked from every run — on a lane with cancel-in-progress: true and self-hosted tart-* targets. Paired now.
  • Upload test results was silently uploading nothing. It collected $CMUX_DERIVED_DATA_PATH/Logs/Test/*.xcresult, but test-without-building takes no -derivedDataPath, so the bundle went to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode. if-no-files-found: warn meant it degraded quietly. Now captured where ci-macos.yml captures it. A diagnostic lane losing its diagnostics is the worst version of this bug.
  • job_timeout default of 20 against an old median of 20.0 min, with build now compiling three schemes and packaging ~1 GiB. UI dispatches would time out materially more often. Default is 45 — what scripts/run-e2e.sh already passed.
  • Product key step ran before Install Rust, so contract() recorded absent where admission records a version. Reordered.
  • Dead compilation-cache machinery in the test job — a key, a fingerprint nothing read, and a cache directory whose only consumer was the step that deleted it. Removed.

One PR claim corrected

I wrote that build "publishes under the same name compile admission uses". It doesn't, and won't. contract() also hashes CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP and CMUX_CI_REQUIRED_MACOS_SDK_MAJOR, which ci-macos.yml:88-89 sets for the macOS 15 pool and this lane deliberately does not — pinning that pool's Xcode on a macOS 26 runner would be wrong. Nothing fails today, because the intra-run handoff uses needs.build.outputs.artifact_id, not the name. But the cross-run adoption this PR sets up has to close that gap too, and the comment now says so instead of claiming a match.

Verified correct, worth recording

The xctestrun handoff itself is sound: seal writes cmux-product-reuse.json and stamp writes cmux-test-products.json, so they don't clobber; the receipt travels inside Build/Products; derived and checkout are byte-identical between jobs so map_strings is a no-op; cmux_*.xctestrun can't collide with cmux-unit_*. Permissions are right on both jobs. No moved step reads a variable set in the other job. Nothing outside the workflow assumes a job named e2e.

And the UI-test change I flagged as "most worth watching" is less risky than I claimed: CMUX_CI_APP_HOST_ISOLATION_REQUIRED appears in exactly one Swift file, a cmuxTests file, so the app target is unaffected and cmuxUITests sees only the LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS change — which restore-app-host-test-product.sh:80-81 stages unconditionally.

Two remaining risks I am not fixing here, both fail-closed and both stated rather than hidden: Xcode is unpinned across the two jobs, so a pool image skew aborts the restore with test products xcode does not match this job (most likely on blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-latest and tart-*); and the compilation cache's restore-keys prefix changed from -cmuxTests-/-cmuxUITests- to -all-, so the first post-merge builds are cold.

Full linux-guard lane green (132 tests) after every change above.

Take the producer run attempt from the build job, not from the test job.

CMUX_PRODUCT_PRODUCER_RUN_ATTEMPT uses github.run_attempt in the consumer job. If only the failed test job is rerun, this value can differ from the attempt that produced the artifact. The restore path validates the producer attempt against the artifact receipt, so the rerun can reject the existing build output.

Publish the attempt as a build output and read it from there.

Write a result bundle for cmuxUITests where the upload step looks for it.

The old command passed -derivedDataPath, so UI result bundles landed under $CMUX_DERIVED_DATA_PATH/Logs/Test. The new plain xcodebuild -xctestrun ... test-without-building has no -derivedDataPath and no -resultBundlePath. The bundle therefore goes to the default Xcode location. CMUX_APP_HOST_CAPTURE_XCRESULTS only affects run-app-host-xcodebuild.sh, so it does not help this path. Upload test results searches ${{ runner.temp }}/cmux-app-host-xcresults/**/*.xcresult. For the default target, that search finds nothing and prints only a warning. As a result, UI failure screenshots and attachments are lost.

The chmod is there because xcodebuild can run as the console GUI user through sudo -u.

Run app-host cleanup through the console-session wrapper.

ci-macos.yml runs cleanup as the console user. This step runs it directly. On split-account runners, the direct rm -rf can fail on the console-owned home. The success gate also skips cleanup when preparation fails after publishing its identity or creating part of the home.

Enforce the app-host cleanup contract for every lane.

main() enforces the canonical contract for ci-macos.yml job app-host-unit-tests, not ci.yml. The generic check covers every workflow in WORKFLOW_PATHS, but it accepts if: cancelled() and does not require scripts/ci/run-in-console-session.sh. Therefore, the direct cleanup in test-e2e.yml passes the guard.

Require the canonical always() gate and console-session wrapper:

Suggested tightening
             for cleanup in cleanups:
-                gate = str(cleanup.get("if", ""))
-                if "always()" not in gate and "cancelled()" not in gate:
+                gate = "".join(str(cleanup.get("if", "")).split())

Bugbot is paused — on-demand spend limit reached

Bugbot uses usage-based billing for this team and has hit its on-demand spend limit.

A team admin can raise the spend limit in the Cursor dashboard, or wait for the next billing cycle to continue.

`test-e2e.yml` was one job that compiled the tree and then ran the selected
tests. `-only-testing:` narrows execution, never compilation, so a dispatch
that runs one test class for 15 seconds first paid a full cold Debug build.
Across 60 recent dispatches the job's median execution was 20.0 min, of which
roughly 15.3 min was xcodebuild. Re-running a failed dispatch paid that build
again.

Split it the way `ci-macos.yml` already works:

- `filter` normalizes and validates the selector on Linux in seconds. It runs
  before either macOS job is scheduled, so a malformed selector no longer
  waits behind a compile to be rejected.
- `build` compiles once through `compile-app-host-test-product.sh build`,
  which builds cmux, cmux-unit and cmux-numeric-locale, so one product serves
  cmuxTests and cmuxUITests alike. It publishes under the same
  `app-host-products-v1-<contract-key>-<attempt>` name compile admission uses.
- `test` reads that product over `parallel_artifact_download.py`, falling back
  to `actions/download-artifact`, verifies the archive SHA-256 published by
  `build`, and runs `test-without-building` with one `-only-testing:` per
  selector. It compiles nothing.

Re-running a failed `test` job now re-downloads the product instead of
rebuilding it, which is where this pays for itself today.

Stated plainly: for a single fresh dispatch this does not reduce total runner
minutes. It adds a second runner's checkout and setup plus an artifact round
trip, against a compile it does not yet avoid, because nothing adopts a
product across runs. The pull request lists the four checks that still reject
a dispatch consumer, and publishing under the admission artifact name is what
makes removing them a small change rather than a rediscovery.

The GUI, TCC and screen-capture setup stays in `test`; GhosttyKit, zig, Rust
and Swift package resolution move to `build`. `test` takes `actions: read`,
narrowly, because the parallel transport reads this run's artifact metadata.

cmuxUITests now executes an app built with the admission recipe --
`CMUX_SKIP_ZIG_BUILD=1` and the app-host isolation flags -- rather than the
plain `-scheme cmux` build this lane used before. That matches what
`ci-macos.yml` already executes its UI tests against, and is the change most
worth watching on the first dispatches.

Independent review caught that this would fail every cmuxTests dispatch --
about three quarters of the lane's traffic. `compile-app-host-test-product.sh`
builds with `CMUX_CI_APP_HOST_ISOLATION_REQUIRED`, so the app host requires the
prepared home, and `prepare-app-host-home.sh` refuses to run without a decimal
`CMUX_APP_HOST_SHARD`. ci-macos.yml feeds that from its test matrix; this lane
has no matrix. The `test` job now publishes the shard and the isolation marker,
verified against the script directly, and pairs the prepared home with the
cleanup it was missing.

The guard that should have caught it named `app-host-unit-tests` in
ci-macos.yml directly, so a second lane adopting the pattern was checked by
nothing. `tests/test_ci_app_host_home_isolation.py` now finds every job that
runs `prepare-app-host-home.sh` in any known workflow and requires the marker,
a non-empty shard, and a cleanup gated to run after failures. All four are
mutation-tested against this workflow.

Three more from the same review. `Upload test results` collected
`$CMUX_DERIVED_DATA_PATH/Logs/Test/*.xcresult`, which `test-without-building`
never writes because it takes no `-derivedDataPath`, so the step was silently
uploading nothing; the bundle is now captured where ci-macos.yml captures it.
`job_timeout` defaulted to 20 while the old job's median was already 20.0 min
and `build` now compiles three schemes and packages ~1 GiB, so a dispatch from
the GitHub UI would time out materially more often -- the default is 45, which
`scripts/run-e2e.sh` already passed. And `contract()` reads rustc through
`shutil.which`, so the product key step had to move after `Install Rust`.

The published key still will not equal ci.yml's: `contract()` also hashes
`CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP` and `CMUX_CI_REQUIRED_MACOS_SDK_MAJOR`, which ci.yml sets
for the macOS 15 pool and this lane must not. Cross-run adoption has to close
that gap; the comment says so rather than claiming a match.

"${ONLY_TESTING[@]}" on an empty array is an unbound-variable error under
set -u in bash 3.2, macOS's /bin/bash. The E2E run step builds the list
from TEST_SELECTORS, so an empty selector list stopped the step before
xcodebuild. tests/test_ci_e2e_compilation_cache.py's missing-manifest test
runs exactly that case and failed on macOS since #13908. Expand it with
${ONLY_TESTING[@]+"${ONLY_TESTING[@]}"}, which bash 3.2 accepts.
