Summary

A pull request that only edits .claude/, agent-chat/, the git hooks, or a handful of dev-only scripts (the dev-fleet warm-slot helpers, check-pbxproj.sh, normalize-pbxproj.py, merge-xcstrings.py, check-test-determinism.py, prune_nightly_release_assets.py) still pays for macos / macOS compile admission. The build-input fingerprint (reaches_product() in scripts/ci/product_input_identity.py) counts those files as product inputs, so unchanged_inputs sees a new fingerprint and compiles an identical product. The same breadth makes find_admitted_build.py miss reuse when a follow-up push to a PR touches only these files.

This change adds an exact exclusion list for them. The list is limited to paths that nothing in the build reads: no cmux.xcodeproj build phase, compile-app-host-test-product.sh, build-app-bundled-resources.sh (or the helpers it calls), ci-macos.yml, or test-e2e.yml names them, and none of the 125 native entries in tests/test-execution.toml reads them. check-pbxproj.sh still runs in the Linux static-preflight job, and agent-chat/ keeps its own guard lane. Everything else under scripts/, including setup.sh and every build-phase helper, stays a product input. .gitattributes also stays, because it can change checkout bytes.

Measurement (current classifier, replayed over first-parent main since 2026-09-20 with local git, 465 commits): 317 route macos. 152 of those also move the fingerprint, so they would compile. 12 of the 152 moved it only through the paths excluded here: #14019, #13715, #13278, #13316, #13530, #13580, #13398, the nightly prune fix, and the merge commits for #13589, #13532, #13348 and #13319. After this change 140 still compile. That is about 8% fewer compile admissions, based on main commits as a proxy for PR diffs.

Remaining over-breadth I left alone because I could not prove it safe: non-cmux-cua skills/ assets (2 commits), scripts/reload.sh (2), and scripts/lib/*.test.mjs (1).

Changing product_input_identity.py changes the algorithm hash, so reuse is invalidated once for every branch after this lands.

Testing

  • Commit 1 adds test_developer_tooling_outside_the_build_does_not_reach_product to tests/test_reuse_app_host_products.py. It failed on .claude/commands/review.md. After commit 2, all 71 tests in the file pass. The test also asserts that the neighbouring build helpers stay product inputs. Its drift guard fails if the pbxproj, the compile script, the bundled-resource script, ci-macos.yml or test-e2e.yml starts naming an excluded path.
  • I ran every guard command in .github/workflows/ci-guards.yml locally (177 commands). Three failed, all from the local environment: test_ghostty_zig_version_sync.sh and lint-stored-dispatch-work-items.py need submodules that are not checked out here, and app_host_result_accounting.py catalog-diff needs CI-provided paths.
  • No workflow files changed, so actionlint does not apply.
  • Nothing compiled into the app changed. No macOS build was run.

Not applicable (CI routing only).

Summary by cubic

Stops reaches_product() in scripts/ci/product_input_identity.py from counting developer tooling as a product input, so pull requests touching only those files no longer pay for macOS compile admission on an identical product.

Adds an exact exclusion list for .claude/, agent-chat/, the git hooks, and eight dev-only scripts (benchmark-dev-fleet-warm-slots.py, check-pbxproj.sh, check-test-determinism.py, dev-fleet-warm-slot.py, install-git-hooks.sh, merge-xcstrings.py, normalize-pbxproj.py, prune_nightly_release_assets.py) that no build phase, compile helper, bundled-resource script, or macOS workflow step reads. The git hooks and agent-chat/ keep their own guard lanes. Build helpers under scripts/ and .gitattributes stay product inputs. On main since 2026-09-20, 12 of the 152 fingerprint-moving commits changed nothing else, so this removes about 8% of compile admissions. A drift-guard test in tests/test_reuse_app_host_products.py checks the module's own exclusion lists against every build reader, so any reader naming a newly excluded path fails it.

Migration

  • Changing product_input_identity.py changes the algorithm hash, so build reuse is invalidated once for every branch after this lands.

Written for commit 5a5b8b0. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Changes to developer and maintenance tooling no longer affect the compiled product identity. Build inputs and product workflows continue to be included in identity checks, so changes that can affect the product remain accounted for.

Editing .claude/, agent-chat/, or dev-only scripts such as the dev-fleet
warm-slot helpers changes the build-input fingerprint today, so a pull
request touching only those still pays for macOS compile admission.

reaches_product() counted .claude/, agent-chat/, the git hooks, and a
handful of dev-only scripts as product inputs, although no build phase,
compile helper, bundled-resource script, or macOS workflow step reads
them. On main since 2026-09-20, 12 of the 152 commits that routed macOS
and moved the fingerprint changed nothing else, so each paid for compile
admission on an identical product.

Self-review: the change only narrows reaches_product(), using an exact list. I checked each excluded path against the pbxproj build phases, the compile and bundled-resource scripts (and the helpers they call), ci-macos.yml, test-e2e.yml, and the native test registry. None of them reads it. check-pbxproj.sh still runs in Linux static-preflight. The new test's drift guard fails if one of those readers ever names an excluded path. One known cost: the algorithm hash changes, so reuse is invalidated once per branch after merge. skills/ assets and scripts/reload.sh are out of scope because I could not prove them safe.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The product identity check now excludes specified developer and maintenance tooling paths. Tests verify that these paths are excluded, selected build inputs remain included, and build-related files do not reference the excluded paths.

reaches_product excludes listed tooling files and directories. Tests check excluded and included paths and scan the Xcode project, compile and resource scripts, and product workflows for references to excluded paths.

The current build helpers do not read excluded tooling, so no stale product is established. The guard misses several output-producing helpers, leaving future references unchecked; complete the guard to protect this exclusion contract.

Comment thread tests/test_reuse_app_host_products.py Outdated
The guard only checked sample paths, so a build reader naming another
file under scripts/git-hooks/ would have passed while that file stayed
out of the fingerprint. Read the module's own lists instead.

🟡 Minor · Cover all app-host build helpers in the drift guard. · test_reuse_app_host_products.py:319-327

tests/test_reuse_app_host_products.py:319-327
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Cover all app-host build helpers in the drift guard.

The cmux target invokes additional output-producing helpers, including the Command Palette FFI, Diff Sidecar, WireGuard, compression, and paste-worker scripts. Because readers omits them, a future reference to an excluded tooling path in one of those helpers would pass this guard. source_fingerprint() would still ignore later changes to that path, so a stale app-host product could be reused.

Add every helper invoked by the cmux target to readers.
