ci: gate the remaining Blacksmith fallbacks for zero-config forks by teamleaderleo · Pull Request #14066 · manaflow-ai/cmux

teamleaderleo · 2026-09-24T00:18:53Z

Problem

Main already gives every pull-request workflow a GitHub-hosted path outside manaflow-ai (#14023, #14151). Workflows that pull requests never trigger did not get one. Nightly, release, the SDK and TUI publishers, test-e2e.yml, test-ios.yml, reload-build.yml, the janitors and similar scheduled or dispatched jobs still fell back to labels like 'blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404'. Blacksmith exists only in the manaflow-ai organization. In a fork with no runner variables, those jobs sit queued forever and hold their concurrency group. On current main, 148 such lines in 54 workflows can pick a Blacksmith label in a fork.

Resulting behavior

A fork can run these workflows with no configuration. Each fallback now uses main's existing gate, unchanged:

runs-on: ${{ github.repository_owner != 'manaflow-ai' && 'ubuntu-24.04' || vars.LINUX_RUNNER || 'blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404' }}

In manaflow-ai the owner branch is false, so every expression resolves exactly as before. Linux falls back to ubuntu-24.04 and macOS to macos-26, matching main's fork contract. Three jobs use macos-15 because they need that image: the two SDK 15 Ghostty CLI helper builds (release.yml, nightly.yml) and the macOS 15 row in ci-macos-compat.yml. They are added to the guard's MACOS_15_FORK_JOBS.

Sites that needed more than a prefix:

Site	Handling
Bare labels in `cmux-tui.yml` (`runs-on`, matrix `runner:`, `with: macos_runner/linux_runner`)	Wrapped as `${{
Mirrors of `runs-on` (`run-name`, `concurrency.group`, `REQUESTED_RUNNER`, `startsWith(…, 'tart-')`)	Rewritten identically, so they stay byte-identical to `runs-on` as the guards require
`test-e2e.yml` macOS jobs, which run on the label `e2e_runner_pool.py` picks	The `runner` job's `label` output takes the owner branch, since the helper only knows manaflow-ai pools
Dispatch inputs that default to a Blacksmith label (`reload-build`, `test-e2e`, `test-ios`, `perf-activation`)	The owner branch comes first, as on main, so in a fork it overrides the input. None of these inputs offers a GitHub-hosted choice
`cmux-tui-testbox-warmup.yml` (Blacksmith Testbox)	No hosted equivalent, so the job is skipped outside manaflow-ai (`if: github.repository_owner == 'manaflow-ai'`)
`cla.yml`	Left ungated and allow-listed: `validate-cla-policy.rb` pins its runner from the trusted base, and the job only signs manaflow-ai's ledger

Guard

tests/test_ci_fork_runner_routing.py already covered the pull-request graph. It now has a test that covers every workflow. That test fails on any Blacksmith label that a run outside manaflow-ai could select. Each ${{ }} that holds such a label must begin with the owner branch. A leading explicitly set inputs.X || is also allowed. Four cases are exempt: the job's if: is the owner check; the line is a hosted_runner matrix row; the line is a dispatch default or choice whose every runs-on read is gated; or the line is allow-listed with a reason. It includes self-tests for the rejected and accepted shapes. It is already registered and runs in ci-guards.yml.

Overlap with #14107

#14107 adds a fork-PR clause to PR-reachable runner expressions. This PR does not edit any workflow #14107 touches. In particular, cloud-command-deadlines.yml still has a gap: in a fork's own dispatch, inputs.runner defaults to blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-15 and is read before the owner branch. The guard allow-lists that one input with a pointer to #14107, and it should be fixed on that line after #14107 lands. Both PRs change tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh and tests/test_ci_release_sdk_lane.sh, in different assertions: here the test-ios.yml and release.yml pins, in #14107 the ci-macos.yml pins.

Scope versus the original #14066

This replaces the original 99-file version, which used a different gate form (vars.X || (owner == 'manaflow-ai' && blacksmith || hosted)) and conflicted with #14023/#14151 in 41 files. The scripts/ci/runner_fallback.py collapse() helper and the separate test_ci_fork_runner_fallbacks.py are gone: the prefix form keeps each upstream expression as a literal suffix, so existing pins only needed the prefix added.

Validation

tests/test_ci_fork_runner_routing.py: 7 tests pass on this branch. The new all-workflow test reports 148 violations in 54 workflows when run against current main's workflows.
Pins updated for the gated strings, all passing: test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, test_ci_release_sdk_lane.sh, test_nightly_universal_build.sh, test_ci_health_report.py, test_ci_queue_janitor.py, test_tui_publish_workflow_security.py, test_run_e2e.py.
All 148 linux-guard tests in tests/test-execution.toml pass, along with every other tests/ file that names a changed workflow (164 total). The only failure, test_ci_sparkle_build_monotonic.sh, fails the same way on main.
Every run: block in ci-guards.yml (170) ran on this branch and on a clean main worktree. The branch failures are a subset of main's. All of them come from this host: missing submodules, RUNNER_TEMP/base-SHA env, and two macOS-only timeouts. The canonical CI guard profile (cmux.ci.guard) passes on the committed head.
actionlint on the 54 changed workflows: the same 16 existing shellcheck findings as main, and nothing new.
Not exercised: a live fork run. The original version's fork run proved the hosted Linux path for a bare-label job, but this head has not been dispatched on a fork.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Workflow runner fallbacks now depend on repository ownership. The manaflow-ai owner retains Blacksmith defaults, while other owners use hosted GitHub runner labels when no override applies. The change also adds fallback validation and updates tests that inspect workflow routing.

Changes

Runner fallback routing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Owner-aware workflow runner selection `.github/workflows/*`, `docs/ci-runners.md`	Linux and macOS workflow defaults now select Blacksmith labels for `manaflow-ai` and matching hosted GitHub labels for other owners. Existing runner overrides and overflow branches remain in place where described. The Testbox warmup job is skipped outside `manaflow-ai`.
Fallback normalization helper `scripts/ci/runner_fallback.py`, `scripts/ci/dispatch-focused-test.py`	The new helper constructs hosted equivalents and owner-gated expressions, collapses recognized expressions to their upstream runner values, and supports a `collapse-tree` command. The focused-test parser now recognizes the gated expression.
Fallback validation and test updates `tests/test_ci_fork_runner_fallbacks.py`, `tests/test-execution.toml`, `tests/test_ci_.py`, `tests/test_ci_.sh`, `tests/test_nightly_universal_build.sh`, `tests/test_run_e2e.py`, `tests/test_tui_publish_workflow_security.py`, `.github/workflows/ci-guards.yml`	A new validator checks workflow runner fallbacks and dispatch-input translations, and CI registers and runs it. Existing tests use collapsed workflow copies or updated runner expressions when checking workflow behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to da89b

CI runner selection now falls back to GitHub-hosted images outside manaflow-ai, and upstream routing is unchanged. The PR is mergeable with small follow-ups. The new fork guard should catch Blacksmith labels beyond the four known image types. The runner documentation example should also show the owner-gated form so contributors do not copy the old ungated fallback.

Update the stale fallback example above the new section.

Line 142 still says workflows use runs-on: ${{ vars.LINUX_RUNNER || 'blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404' }}. Lines 145-146 still say the fallback "must be a Blacksmith label". The new "Outside manaflow-ai" section at lines 155-178 says every fallback is now owner-gated and resolves to a GitHub-hosted image outside manaflow-ai. A reader who follows line 142 will write an ungated fallback. tests/test_ci_fork_runner_fallbacks.py then rejects that fallback.

Replace the example with the gated form. Also state that the Blacksmith requirement applies to the manaflow-ai branch of the gate.

The hosted macos-26 fallback here is safe on forks. I checked because #14033 had avoided it, on the premise that the self-hosted minis' macos-26 label could pick the job up.

The collision only exists in manaflow-ai. That's where the minis are registered, and there this expression resolves to Blacksmith.
The only runner on teamleaderleo/cmux is labelled self-hosted, macOS, ARM64, cmux-local-mac, so nothing on the fork matches macos-26.
The image is real: GitHub lists hosted macos-26 as generally available.

I've changed #14033's hosted map to match this PR (macos_26* → macos-26, commit 200be8ecde). A fork now gets the same OS whichever of the two routes a job takes.

#14023 overlaps both. It covers 38 files against about 230 selections here.

teamleaderleo · 2026-09-24T01:51:24Z

Working on CodeRabbit thread 4088723154 (tests/test_ci_fork_runner_fallbacks.py:37). The finding holds. LABEL reuses rf.BLACKSMITH_LABEL, which matches only the ubuntu-2404, macos-15, macos-26 and macos-latest suffixes. So an ungated blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2204 or blacksmith-8vcpu-windows-2025 passed the guard. And rf.gated() / rf.hosted_equivalent() raise ValueError for such a label, so reporting it would crash the test. The fix is local: detection now matches any blacksmith-Nvcpu-* label, the error text asks for a HOSTED_EQUIVALENT entry, and a regression test fails on the old regex. The full guard sweep is running now, and all fixes will go out in one push.

teamleaderleo · 2026-09-24T01:55:50Z

Pushed 79c8813 (head was 5c97903, no rebase needed). It widens fork-fallback label detection to any blacksmith-Nvcpu-* image and reports an image with no hosted equivalent without crashing. Verified locally: tests/test_ci_fork_runner_fallbacks.py passes 7/7, and the new regression fails without the fix. The full ci-guards sweep ran 181 commands with no failures other than the two known environmental ones (ghostty zig version sync, stored dispatch work items lint), which need submodules this worktree lacks. Every workflow on the branch still passes the widened guard, so it found no new ungated label. CodeRabbit thread 4088723154 has its reply.

teamleaderleo · 2026-09-24T02:07:28Z

Pushed 6b2fee3060 (rebased onto main at 229edc536d).

Conflicts: ios-app-store.yml, test-e2e.yml and test-ios.yml conflicted with main's runner edits (ci: route focused tests to one front door, and half of them to 12 vCPU #14067, ci: remove the Tart VM runner choices #14101). I took main's version of each and re-applied the owner gate with runner_fallback.gated(). The fork-fallback guard passes over every workflow.
New catch: e2e-derived-data-seed.yml (ci: seed test-e2e's warm DerivedData from main every 6 hours #14082) landed with an ungated 'blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404' fallback. It's gated now.
CodeRabbit outside-diff comment: addressed. docs/ci-runners.md now shows the owner-gated runs-on example and says the Blacksmith requirement applies to the manaflow-ai branch of the gate.
Earlier on this branch: cla.yml's runner line was restored to the reviewed CLA_RUNNER string. validate-cla-policy.rb runs from the trusted base and pins it, and it is allow-listed in the guard with that reason.
Verification: actionlint shows the same 18 findings as main on every changed workflow, none new. The full ci-guards.yml sweep is running on this head; I'll post the result.

Auto-merge (squash) is on.

Guard sweep on 6b2fee3060: I executed all 164 run: blocks in ci-guards.yml whole, multi-line ones included.

Failures: only environmental ones. Two CI-only env vars were unset, and the ghostty and bonsplit submodules aren't initialized locally.
Registry validator: passes when given the merge-base SHA.
test_ci_app_host_xcodebuild_retry.sh: fails under the parallel sweep and passes on its own, the same as on main.
New failures: none.

teamleaderleo · 2026-09-24T02:16:45Z

Correction to my last comment: test_ci_app_host_xcodebuild_retry.sh also failed once when run on its own ("expected wrapper to exit with final timeout status 124, got 1"), while this box was under load.

It is timing-sensitive, not caused by this PR:

This branch does not touch the wrapper or its test.
Re-run 3× on a clean origin/main worktree and 3× on this branch once load had dropped: 6/6 pass.

Main already sends every pull-request workflow to GitHub-hosted runners outside manaflow-ai. Scheduled, dispatched and push-only workflows still fell back to Blacksmith labels, so a fork's own runs of them sat queued forever. They now take the same owner branch main uses: github.repository_owner != 'manaflow-ai' && '<hosted>' || <existing> test_ci_fork_runner_routing.py now rejects any Blacksmith label, in any workflow, that a zero-configuration run outside manaflow-ai could select. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

A fork pull request into manaflow-ai runs with repository_owner == 'manaflow-ai', so the owner branch from #14023/#14151 does not catch it, and every macOS runs-on in the pull_request graph could route fork code onto a self-hosted Mac a MACOS_RUNNER_* variable names. Every such expression (runs-on plus the CMUX_PRODUCT_RUNNER and REQUESTED_RUNNER mirrors) now takes a fork branch to its existing Blacksmith default before any variable is read. The branch compares head.repo.full_name with github.repository, which also treats a deleted head repository as a fork; head.repo.fork did not. The PR-lane Xcode pins follow the same split, so a fork PR on the macOS 15 default no longer asks select-ci-xcode.sh for CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_PR. cloud-command-deadlines.yml reads its Blacksmith-default runner input after the owner branch, so a fork's own dispatch gets macos-26, and the #14066 guard's allow-list entry for it is gone. tests/test_ci_fork_runner_routing.py fails on any MACOS_RUNNER_* or matrix.pr_runner selector in the pull_request graph that lacks the fork branch or reads a variable before it, and on a PR-lane Xcode pin that is not same-repository only.

On 2026-09-24, 92 of the 100 most recently updated open pull requests had a base under a day old, and each day of retention costs about 35 GiB.

Every such expression (runs-on plus the CMUX_PRODUCT_RUNNER and REQUESTED_RUNNER mirrors) now takes a fork branch before any variable is read. Where the site reads no pool picker output, the branch names its existing Blacksmith default. Where it reads pr_runner_pool.py's choice (#14205), the branch keeps that choice only when it starts with blacksmith- and otherwise names the default, so the picker can still spread forks over ephemeral pools while a later owned pool cannot take them. The branch compares head.repo.full_name with github.repository, which also treats a deleted head repository as a fork; head.repo.fork did not. The PR-lane Xcode pins read CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_PR for same-repository pull requests (and main's full-suite dispatch) only, so a fork on the macOS 15 default no longer asks select-ci-xcode.sh for the lane's Xcode. The picker's own pr_xcode_app still comes first. cloud-command-deadlines.yml reads its Blacksmith-default runner input after the owner branch, so a fork's own dispatch gets macos-26, and the #14066 guard's allow-list entry for it is gone. tests/test_ci_fork_runner_routing.py fails on any MACOS_RUNNER_*, matrix.pr_runner or picker-output selector in the pull_request graph that lacks the fork branch or reads a selector before it, and on a PR-lane Xcode pin that is not same-repository only. The seed-derived-data expression evaluator learns startsWith() and checks the fork routes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
