Why

ci-main-full-suite.yml dispatched the full suite on main every 3 hours. Main's full CI has been red since 2026-09-01, and every red run covered up to 3 hours of merges, so nothing pointed at a culprit. PRs are also moving to run only the tests their diff reaches (#14083 and a follow-up). A selection that misses a break has to be caught on main, quickly, and with a narrow commit range.

What

The suite now runs continuously, one run at a time:

  • Triggers: a push to main dispatches CI on main's HEAD when no full-suite run is in flight. The completion of a full-suite run on main (workflow_run) dispatches the next one on the newest HEAD. The 3-hour schedule stays as a backstop.
  • Gate: main_full_suite.py gate waits while any full-suite run on main is queued or running, for any commit. The existing "this SHA already has a run" check is unchanged.
  • No double dispatch: the dispatch step holds its concurrency slot until the new run shows up in the runs list, so the next gate sees it in flight instead of dispatching a second one.

A red result now covers only the merges that landed during one run. Issue tracking (report) is unchanged.

Testing

  • tests/test_ci_main_full_suite.py: 17 pass. New cases: a run in flight for any commit holds the next dispatch, and only full-suite CI runs on main count; the push trigger; the workflow_run dispatch condition; the dispatch wait.
  • actionlint is clean.
  • run_python_test_lane.py --lane linux-guard and every .sh guard in ci-guards.yml pass. test_dev_fleet_warm_slot.py and two bundle tests first failed with git init errors while the shared /tmp was over quota, and passed on rerun.

Summary by cubic

Runs the main full suite continuously, one run at a time, instead of every 3 hours, so a red result covers only the merges that landed during one run. This is what makes diff-derived test selection on PRs safe: a regression a selection misses shows up on main within one run's worth of merges.

  • A push to main dispatches a full-suite run when none is in flight, and each run's completion dispatches the next on the newest HEAD; the 3-hour schedule stays as a backstop.
  • The gate holds while any full-suite run on main is queued or running, and holds when the completed run is already at HEAD, so a cancelled run on an idle main cannot re-dispatch; runs stuck for over 6 hours no longer hold, and a failed branch lookup after a completed run leaves the retry to the schedule.
  • The dispatch step holds its concurrency slot until a run created after the dispatch is listed, failing the job after 90 seconds, so two gates never both dispatch.

Written for commit 25f61ca. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • The full test suite now runs when changes are pushed to the main branch, in addition to its existing scheduled and manual runs.
    • Full-suite runs are handled one at a time. When a run finishes, the next run uses the latest version of the branch.

The full suite ran on main every three hours, so a red result covered up
to three hours of merges and main sat red for weeks with nothing
pointing at a culprit. It now runs back to back: a push to main dispatches
one when none is in flight, and each run's completion dispatches the next
on the newest HEAD. The gate waits while any full-suite run on main is
queued or running, for any commit, and the dispatch step holds its
concurrency slot until the new run is listed, so two gates never both
dispatch. The schedule stays as a backstop for a missed event.

This is what makes diff-derived test selection on pull requests safe: a
regression a selection misses shows up within one run's worth of merges.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The full-suite CI workflow now starts on main pushes and continues after eligible CI workflow runs complete. The Python gate checks for queued or running full-suite runs on main across commits before evaluating the current HEAD. After dispatch, the workflow polls until the new run appears.

Changes

Full-suite CI flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
In-flight run gate
scripts/ci/main_full_suite.py, tests/test_ci_main_full_suite.py
The gate checks for an in-flight full-suite run on the branch before evaluating runs for the current HEAD. Tests cover in-flight statuses and run filters.
Workflow triggers and dispatch
.github/workflows/ci-main-full-suite.yml, tests/test_ci_main_full_suite.py
The workflow adds a push trigger for main, accepts eligible CI completion events, and polls for the dispatched run to appear. Tests check the trigger, completion condition, and polling comment.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fb4c6

Full-suite runs can be dispatched more than once when confirmation or a gate API read fails. Resolve those paths before merging; strengthen the poll test to protect the intended behavior.

Do not use step failure as the concurrency fix.

The current loop can confirm a failed API read (|| echo 0) or succeed after 20 unsuccessful polls. Replacing that with exit 1 would only surface the error. It would not preserve the one-at-a-time guarantee: the failed dispatch job releases ci-main-full-suite-dispatch, and the next queued job then runs command_gate. If the dispatched run is still not listed, or that gate's run-list call fails, command_gate sets dispatch=true and can dispatch a duplicate.

Treat API errors as unconfirmed state, not as a new run. Persist that state, or use an equivalent lock that survives job failure, so later gates block until the dispatched run is observed or an operator resolves the state. A finite polling timeout followed by job failure is not sufficient. The Test Determinism guidance allows CI-orchestration sleeps in workflow YAML, so moving polling out of YAML is not required.

Fail closed when the gate cannot read in-flight runs.

The new branch-wide list_runs call is inside an error handler that sets dispatch=true. If a gate tick cannot read the run list after the dispatch job has confirmed a full-suite run, it can enqueue another full-suite run. This violates the workflow's one-at-a-time gate design. Handle gate API errors independently from post-dispatch polling and do not dispatch when the in-flight state is unknown.

Independent review at fb4c63e: request changes. The design holds up: one run in flight, the next one chained on completion, and the 3-hour schedule kept as a backstop. The problems are three unbounded failure modes, and one of them spends WarpBuild money.

Checks run: python3 tests/test_ci_main_full_suite.py passes all 17 tests. actionlint is clean. The test file is registered at tests/test-execution.toml:1076, and there's no cancel-in-progress: true.

  1. A cancelled run loops on an idle main. dispatch_decision doesn't count a cancelled run as "already tested", and the new workflow_run trigger fires on every completion. If HEAD doesn't move and the run ends cancelled, it re-dispatches the same SHA, again and again. This happens: run 35814962578 (432b110) ended cancelled because one remote-daemon-macos-tests job was cancelled after 1 minute, and timeouts also report as cancelled. Each lap is about 40 minutes of 6+ warp-6x-arm64 shards, so up to about 36 runs a day of one SHA, against today's cap of 8. Fix: on the workflow_run path, dispatch only when HEAD differs from the completed run's head_sha.
  2. A stuck queued run stops the full suite for good. in_flight_run treats any queued or running dispatch of any age as busy, and that includes the schedule backstop. A run that is permanently queued, like the Sept 13 ghost runs, would make every gate print "still queued" and exit green, so main silently gets no full-suite signal. Before this PR, a stuck run blocked only its own SHA. Fix: ignore in-flight runs older than a ceiling, such as 2× the suite timeout.
  3. The dispatch wait loop can end silently. In the "Dispatch CI on main" step, if 60 s pass without the new run being listed, the step still succeeds. The next gate may then see nothing in flight and dispatch the same SHA again, which runs back to back in CI-refs/heads/main and doubles the Warp spend. Also, a failed before lookup becomes 0, so the loop exits immediately on the older run's id. Fix: warn or fail when the loop runs out, and treat a failed lookup as unknown.

Nits:

  • The concurrency comment says a queued tick waits for the previous one. In fact GitHub cancels the older pending job.
  • report also runs on every push to main. That's free, but it's noise.
  • Some wording is stale: the module docstring still says "compile admission only" and "periodic run", and failure_body says "Scheduled full-suite CI".
  • test_a_run_in_flight_for_any_commit_holds_the_next_dispatch sits in ReportTests but tests the gate.
  • test_a_completed_full_suite_run_dispatches_the_next asserts on comment text.
  • Nothing covers command_gate's new "busy" return.

Cost: these shards land on WarpBuild in practice, which is paid overflow. Continuous runs on a busy main mean about 24–36 runs a day instead of 8, so roughly 3–4× the Warp minutes, before counting defect 1. The description doesn't mention cost. A minimum gap between dispatches, set in a repo var, would keep the frequency tunable.

Three gaps in the continuous dispatch:

- A run that ended cancelled on an idle main re-dispatched the same SHA on
  every completion, because a cancelled run does not count as tested. Each
  lap is ~40 min of paid Warp shards. The gate now holds when the completed
  run is already at HEAD, before any API call, so the schedule is the only
  retry path, as before.
- Any queued run of any age held every trigger, the schedule included, so a
  run GitHub never starts would silently stop the full suite. In-flight runs
  older than 6 h no longer hold.
- The dispatch step succeeded even when its run never appeared, and a failed
  lookup read as id 0. It now waits for a run created after the dispatch and
  fails loudly after 90 s.

Also: report no longer runs on every push, and the stale 'compile admission
only' / 'Scheduled' wording is gone.

…ll-suite gate

- A queued run at HEAD itself still held forever. dispatch_decision now
  applies the same 6 h cutoff as the any-commit check.
- When the branch lookup failed after a completed run, the gate failed open
  and re-dispatched the commit that just finished. It now holds and leaves
  the retry to the schedule.
- The listing margin is 60 s instead of 5 s. A runner clock more than 5 s
  ahead raised a false 'not listed' error, and any run the wider margin
  lets through is in flight and holds the next gate anyway.

Pushed 81cce32 and 22f4000, merged with main as 25f61ca. They fix the three defects in my earlier review:

  • Idle-main loop. The gate takes --completed-sha from github.event.workflow_run.head_sha and holds when the run that just completed is already at HEAD. It checks this before any API call, and it also holds when the branch lookup fails after a completed run. So only the 3-hour schedule retries a cancelled run, as before this PR.
  • A stuck run blocking everything. Queued or running runs older than 6 h no longer hold the gate, whether they are for another commit or for HEAD itself. The longest ci.yml job timeout is 75 min.
  • Silent dispatch wait. The step now waits for a run created after the dispatch, allowing a 60 s clock margin. A failed lookup can no longer pass for "listed", and after 30 checks the step fails with an error.
  • Nits fixed: report skips push, the concurrency comment is corrected, the stale "compile admission only" and "Scheduled" wording is gone, the gate tests have their own class, and the wiring test no longer asserts on comment text.

Verification

  • test_ci_main_full_suite.py: 22 tests pass. The new ones run the real gate CLI and both workflow steps against a fake gh, and each fails when its fix is reverted.
  • actionlint is clean.
  • All 140 linux-guard Python tests pass, and check-test-determinism --strict is clean.
  • A second independent review of 81cce32 said merge. Its three small gaps are closed in the second commit.

Cost: this still multiplies full-suite runs on a busy main, from about 8 a day to about 24–36, and those shards land on paid WarpBuild. There is no longer an unbounded path. Enabling auto-merge; Leo approved merging reviewed PRs.
