ci: let the pull-request macOS lane move pools without breaking Xcode selection - #13923
Conversation
… selection Pull-request macOS jobs pick their pool through `MACOS_RUNNER_PR`, but pin their toolchain to `CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_MACOS_15` unconditionally. The two images carry different Xcodes -- the macos-15 image ships `/Applications/Xcode_26.3.app`, the macos-26 image ships `/Applications/Xcode_26.5.app` -- and `scripts/select-ci-xcode.sh` exits non-zero on a pinned path that is not installed. So pointing `MACOS_RUNNER_PR` at a macos-26 pool today fails every pull-request macOS job at Xcode selection instead of moving it off a saturated queue. The pin now resolves through `CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_PR` on pull requests, in the same shape `runs-on` already uses, with the macos-15 pin as the default on both branches: unset variables keep today's behavior exactly, and the lane moves by setting `MACOS_RUNNER_PR` and `CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_PR` together. `swift-package-tests` gets the same hatch for its SDK 15 release helper (`CMUX_CI_HELPER_XCODE_APP_PR`), and the nightly Debug-cache seed keeps tracking the lane it seeds. The dispatch-only owned-Mac producer reads `CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_PR` directly, because only pull-request jobs consume its products. `check_persistent_compile_owned_mac_occupancy` compared the producer's and admission's pins as literal text, which a conditional would have defeated; it now reduces both to their pull-request branch first, so it still catches a lane edit that moved only one of them.

Assert the lane-specific helper Xcode expression.
The topology test only checks that CMUX_CI_HELPER_XCODE_APP exists. It does not check its PR selection or macOS 15 fallback. A change that replaces this expression with an incorrect helper pin can pass while the app pin remains correct, although the workflow consumes the helper pin before building the release helper.

swift-package-tests builds the Release Ghostty CLI helper against an SDK 15 Xcode: it pins `CMUX_CI_REQUIRED_MACOS_SDK_MAJOR=15` for that step and then asserts `HELPER_SDK_VERSION == 15.*`. Only the macos-15 image carries an SDK 15 Xcode, and Zig 0.15.2 cannot link that helper on macOS 26 either -- which is why `release.yml` builds it on macOS 15. It was resolving through `MACOS_RUNNER_PR` on pull requests, so pointing that lane at a macos-26 pool would have taken this job with it and failed the helper build. It now uses `MACOS_RUNNER_DUAL_XCODE` on every event, and both the dual-Xcode guard and the release SDK lane guard fail if it ever reads `MACOS_RUNNER_PR` again. Its Xcode pins go back to the unconditional macos-15 variables, so `CMUX_CI_HELPER_XCODE_APP_PR` is no longer needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Narrowed after checking the "15 and 26 are equivalent" assumption. Mostly true, with one job where it is not. Intel is not the reason to keep the macos-15 pool. The only Intel coverage in the repo is One pull-request job genuinely cannot move. It now uses What the flip moves, against the 06:30Z queue of 52 jobs on macos-15:
So 43 of the 52 queued jobs move off the saturated pool and 7 stay where they have to. Validation: 155 of 156 Still unproven until the variables are set post-merge: that — Fernbrake g1 🌱 |
The comment said Zig 0.15.2 cannot link the Ghostty helper on macOS 26. That was the original reason for the lane, and it is no longer the operative one: the linker defect was ziglang/zig#31658 (an Xcode 26.4+ SDK lists only arm64e-macos in libSystem.tbd), fixed by #31673 in Zig 0.16.0, and the Ghostty submodule has required 0.16.0 since at least 2026-09-17 -- install-zig-ci.sh derives the version from that manifest. What actually holds the job on macos-15 today is its own assertion: it pins CMUX_CI_REQUIRED_MACOS_SDK_MAJOR=15 and checks HELPER_SDK_VERSION == 15.*, and select-ci-xcode.sh exits non-zero rather than falling back when no SDK 15 Xcode is installed. The macos-26 image has none. Comment now says that, and records that the SDK pin is self-imposed and worth retesting. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Restrict PR-runner checks to the runs-on directive.
The package block includes a comment naming vars.MACOS_RUNNER_PR, so both checks can fail even though the job uses the dual-Xcode runner. Check the actual runs-on directive instead.

Both are the bug class this branch exists to fix: a value that describes the pull-request lane while reading a variable that no longer does. The build-input fingerprint in ci.yml passed `xcode=$XCODE_APP` from `CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_MACOS_15`, in two pull-request-only steps. The `xcode=` extra exists so the fingerprint moves when the pinned toolchain moves, so after a lane change it would have kept matching: an admitted build compiled under the old Xcode would satisfy `find_admitted_build.py`, admission would be skipped, and the branch would never compile under the new one. Both steps now read the same lane the jobs compile under. The persistent-compile toolchain check normalized both sides to their pull-request branch. persistent-macos-compile.yml is workflow_dispatch-only, so that branch is the one the producer can never take: a producer pinned to `github.event_name == 'pull_request' && (...) || CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_MACOS_26` normalized to the hosted value and passed, while resolving to 26.5 on every dispatch against a hosted job revalidating 26.3 -- the wasted owned-Mac allocation invariant 3 exists to prevent. Only the hosted side is normalized now, and the producer must name the lane directly; verified by injecting that exact bypass and watching the guard reject it. Docs: restored the manual-test-debugging bullet's continuation that the earlier edit orphaned, moved the pin variable out of the runner-pool table and scoped its description to the jobs that actually select a pinned Xcode, added the two MACOS_RUNNER_PR consumers the table omitted, and replaced the present-tense Zig 0.15.2 claim with what is actually true now. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The literal-shape check ran before the line-count check, so renaming the producer job made producer_pin empty and reported "must pin the pull-request lane directly" instead of "could not read both toolchain pins" -- which was unreachable for that side. Count first, then shape. Also unwraps a ragged line in the docs paragraph. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Resulting behavior
The Xcode pin now follows the same lane as
runs-on:Both branches default to the macos-15 pin, so unset variables keep today's behavior byte for byte. Moving the lane becomes two variable edits, and rolling it back becomes two unsets:
swift-package-testsgets the same hatch for its SDK 15 release helper (CMUX_CI_HELPER_XCODE_APP_PR), and the nightly Debug-cache seed keeps tracking the lane it seeds, since a toolchain mismatch there is a cache miss rather than a wrong hit.The dispatch-only owned-Mac producer in

macOS compile admissionandapp-host unit testsland on macos-26, and unset both if anything in Xcode selection or the product contract disagrees.Does not fix #13652, which is about Warp-vs-Blacksmith cost on the required lanes; this is the pull-request lane's OS.

Lets the pull-request macOS lane move to a different runner pool without breaking Xcode selection.
The pull-request lane picks its pool through
MACOS_RUNNER_PRbut pinned its toolchain toCMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_MACOS_15unconditionally. The macos-15 image ships Xcode 26.3, macos-26 ships 26.5, andselect-ci-xcode.shfails on a pinned path that is not installed, so moving the pool alone would turn queued jobs into failed jobs. The Xcode pin now resolves throughCMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_PRon pull requests, mirroring howruns-onreadsMACOS_RUNNER_PR, with the macos-15 pin as the default on both branches — unset variables keep today's behavior exactly.swift-package-testsstays on the macos-15 pool on every event viaMACOS_RUNNER_DUAL_XCODE: it builds the Release Ghostty CLI helper against an SDK 15 Xcode that only the macos-15 image carries. Guards fail if it ever readsMACOS_RUNNER_PRagain, and its Xcode pins are back to the unconditional macos-15 variables.CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_PRdirectly since only pull-request jobs consume its products; it must name the lane directly, andcheck_persistent_compile_owned_mac_occupancyreduces only the hosted admission pin to its pull-request branch before comparing. The guard checks the producer's pins read successfully before validating their shape, so a renamed producer job reports the right failure.ci.ymlnow reads the same lane variable, so a lane move recompiles instead of reusing a build admitted under the old Xcode.MACOS_RUNNER_PRandCMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_PR); the nightly Debug-cache seed keeps tracking the lane it seeds.Written for commit d2496a5. Summary will update on new commits.
