#14141 changed only the change-area detector, its tests, and the detect step of ci.yml's changes job. Run 35956687867 still queued Claude wrapper regressions and remote-daemon / remote-daemon-macos-tests on the Mac pool, and ci-status waited on them. Neither lane runs routing code.

The cause is the changes job's standalone route. It set claude_wrapper, remote_daemon and remote_daemon_native for any edit to .github/workflows/ci.yml. The detector was not involved: for that diff it already routed macOS, web and CLI off.

This PR makes the route compare ci.yml with its base job by job:

  • The wrapper lane runs when the claude-wrapper job changes.
  • The remote-daemon lanes run when the remote-daemon caller changes, since its native_tests input lives there.
  • Both run when anything before jobs: changes.
  • Both run when the base is missing or unreadable, a job name repeats, or the lane's job uses a YAML alias.

Edits to the routing, status and Linux jobs only decide whether these lanes run, and the Linux guard tests already check them. The Linux browser lane still runs for every ci.yml edit. The rules for each lane's own inputs (wrapper script and tests, daemon/remote/, remote-daemon.yml) are unchanged.

Verified locally by running the real detect and standalone steps in a temporary repository:

Diff wrapper / daemon / native / cli, before after
#14141's three files T / T / T / F F / F / F / F
ci.yml claude-wrapper job T / T / T / F T / F / F / F
ci.yml remote-daemon caller T / T / T / F F / T / T / F
ci.yml before jobs: T / T / T / T T / T / T / T
#14141 + Resources/bin/cmux-claude-wrapper T / T / T / F T / F / F / F

The first commit adds the tests and fails on the two routing assertions. The second commit adds the fix. tests/test_ci_change_areas.py passes (235), and so do the other tests/test_ci_*.py files that import the detector or parse ci.yml. actionlint is clean.

Summary by cubic

Stops the Mac wrapper and remote-daemon lanes from queuing when a ci.yml edit only touches routing code (as in PR #14141's detector-only change), avoiding wasted Mac pool runs.

The standalone route now compares ci.yml against its base job by job instead of selecting both Mac lanes for any ci.yml edit.

  • The wrapper lane runs only when the claude-wrapper job differs; the remote-daemon lanes run only when the remote-daemon caller differs, since its native_tests input lives there.
  • Both lanes run when the preamble before jobs: changes, when the base workflow is missing or unreadable, when a job name repeats, or when the lane's job uses a YAML alias.
  • Edits to routing, status, and Linux jobs no longer queue the Mac lanes; the Linux browser lane still runs for every ci.yml edit, and rules for the lanes' own inputs are unchanged.

Written for commit eae4f13. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated automated checks to run the relevant macOS validation lanes when their workflow definitions change, without automatically running both lanes for unrelated workflow edits. Linux browser checks still run for standalone workflow edits.
    • If workflow changes cannot be compared reliably, broader validation runs to preserve coverage. These changes do not affect application behavior.

PR #14141 edited only the change-area detector, its tests, and the detect
step of ci.yml's `changes` job, yet run 35956687867 queued `Claude wrapper
regressions` and `remote-daemon-macos-tests` on the Mac pool: the
standalone route selects claude_wrapper, remote_daemon and
remote_daemon_native for every ci.yml edit. Add tests that run the real
detect and standalone steps on that diff shape and expect those lanes and
the CLI lane off, while an edit to a lane's own caller job, the preamble,
or a lane input still selects it, and an unreadable base fails open.

The standalone route set claude_wrapper, remote_daemon and
remote_daemon_native for any ci.yml edit, so a change confined to the
`changes` job (PR #14141) queued `Claude wrapper regressions` and
`remote-daemon-macos-tests` on the Mac pool and held ci-status on them.

The detect step now saves the base ci.yml, and the standalone route
compares it with the head job by job. The wrapper lane is selected when
the `claude-wrapper` job differs, the remote-daemon lanes when the
`remote-daemon` caller differs (its native_tests input lives there), and
both when the preamble differs, the base is missing or unreadable, a job
name repeats, or the lane's job uses a YAML alias. Edits to the routing,
status and Linux jobs only decide whether a lane runs; the Linux guard
tests cover them. The Linux browser lane still runs for every ci.yml
edit, and every path rule for the lanes' own inputs is unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI detector now compares the base and candidate ci.yml content to route macOS lanes based on affected workflow sections. Tests cover routing-policy edits, macOS lane edits, standalone lane inputs, and fallback behavior.

Changes

CI workflow routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture base workflow and route initial lanes
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The detector saves the base workflow when ci.yml changes. A diff-computation failure routes all CI areas. A ci.yml edit continues to route the browser lane.
Compare workflow sections and validate lane selection
.github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/test_ci_change_areas.py
The detector compares the workflow preamble and macOS job blocks to select affected lanes. Missing markers, duplicate jobs, YAML aliases, or comparison errors trigger the stated lane routing. Tests cover policy edits, lane edits, standalone inputs, and missing or unreadable base workflows.

Compare post-jobs: workflow settings separately from job blocks.

A valid top-level setting after the jobs mapping is absorbed into the final parsed block. In this workflow, that block is claude-wrapper, so the parser selects only that Mac lane. The remote-daemon lane can remain unselected even though the setting applies to the whole workflow.

Parse top-level keys after jobs: separately, then compare them with the preamble and both Mac job blocks.

Recognize aliases followed by YAML comments.

The end-of-line pattern does not match a valid alias such as env: *mac_env # shared settings. If that alias is present in both revisions and its earlier anchor changes in another job, the lane blocks compare equal. The affected Mac lane is then skipped despite its resolved settings changing. Detect YAML aliases with trailing comments, or compare resolved job configurations. (docs.github.com)
