Editing scripts/ci/e2e_warm_derived_data.py ran the macOS, web and Release lanes, including macOS admission and the full guard matrix, on #14051, though no PR lane can execute that script. It runs only in test-e2e.yml, which only workflow_dispatch can start. The router fails open for any scripts/ci/*.py it does not know, which is the right default, but it had no category for helpers that only dispatch-only workflows run.

CI_DISPATCH_ONLY adds that category. A PR that edits only a listed helper now routes no product area; the helper's own linux-guard test still runs. Before and after, from detect_ci_change_areas.py --event-name pull_request on that file alone:

macos web release_build
Before true true true
After false false false

Tradeoff. The carve-out is only sound while no pull-request-reachable workflow runs the helper. test_dispatch_only_helpers_are_only_run_by_dispatch_only_workflows enforces that: it fails if any workflow started by pull_request, pull_request_target, merge_group or push mentions a listed helper.

Validation. Both new tests pass inside tests/test_ci_change_areas.py, whose runner collects every test_* function. All 139 linux-guard tests pass locally. This PR edits the router itself, so it runs every area once.

Summary by cubic

Stops PRs that only touch helpers run by dispatch-only workflows from triggering the macOS, web, and Release lanes. Editing scripts/ci/e2e_warm_derived_data.py, which only test-e2e.yml runs, previously failed open and bought all three areas because the router had no category for such helpers.

Adds a CI_DISPATCH_ONLY set for helpers that only workflows no PR can start run. A guard test fails if any workflow reachable by pull_request, pull_request_target, merge_group, or push mentions a listed helper, keeping the carve-out sound. The helper's own linux-guard test still runs on PRs that edit it.

Written for commit ac36cb4. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Changes to a workflow-dispatch-only helper script no longer trigger unrelated CI lanes or run all CI areas.

scripts/ci/e2e_warm_derived_data.py runs only in test-e2e.yml, which is
workflow_dispatch only, but as an unknown scripts/ci helper it failed open
and bought every PR that edited it the macOS, web and Release lanes (#14051).
A CI_DISPATCH_ONLY set makes such helpers macOS-neutral, and a guard fails if
any workflow a pull request, merge group or push can start ever runs one.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI area detector now excludes scripts/ci/e2e_warm_derived_data.py from pull-request area routing. Tests verify its routing output and check that workflows referencing it do not use pull request, merge group, or push triggers.

Changes

Dispatch-only CI routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dispatch-only helper routing
scripts/ci/detect_ci_change_areas.py, tests/test_ci_change_areas.py
The detector excludes the dispatch-only helper from all-area and macOS routing. Tests check that it produces no routed product areas and that referencing workflows have no pull request, merge group, or push triggers.

The helper currently runs only through manual dispatch, so the routing change is mergeable with a bounded follow-up. Strengthen the trigger test to catch future workflow changes that would leave relevant CI lanes unselected.

Require a dispatch-only trigger after normalizing its shape.

If a referencing workflow declares on: push, triggers is a string. set(triggers) then contains characters, so this test passes and the helper remains excluded from pull-request area routing. GitHub Actions supports scalar event declarations. The current check also accepts events outside the four-name denylist, although this category requires dispatch-only workflows. Normalize string, list, and mapping triggers, then assert that the event set is exactly {"workflow_dispatch"}. (docs.github.com)

Superseded by #14063, which derives this from the workflows instead of listing the helper. — Dulcinea g1 🎐
