Part of #13198. I checked the persistent-compile router, producer, and consumer on current main against docs/ci/mac-fleet.md and docs/ci-runners.md. The workflows match the runbook: selector values, the MEMBER/OWNER gate, the route-request artifact name, the 90/480 s budgets, the ready-only observation, the Xcode variable, and the revalidation fields all line up. Three doc statements were wrong, and this PR fixes them.

1. Stage 1 would route nothing. The runbook says scripts/persistent-compile pilot 13198. #13198 is the RFC issue, not a pull request. cohort_match compares against a PR number or head branch, so no CI run could ever match. This PR names a PR or branch instead and says what qualifies: open, same repository, MEMBER/OWNER author, touches macOS. ci-runners.md used the same number in its cohort example.

2. The fallback sweep in section 3.5 always printed nothing. It grepped for fallback_reason=.... Both the route step and the admission metrics step log JSON ("fallback_reason": "..."). The new sweep matches only the admission metrics line, so a routed run is counted once, not twice. I checked it against job 107582063160: the old pattern prints nothing and the new one prints "fallback_reason": "persistent_route_unused".

3. Section 1.2 said MACOS_RUNNER_PR is unset. It has been blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-26 since 2026-09-24 04:53Z. The sentence now describes the measurement window.

The PR changes docs only, and no test pins these lines.

Summary by cubic

Fixes persistent-compile runbook drift in docs/ci/mac-fleet.md and docs/ci-runners.md so the pilot and fallback sweep instructions match the current workflows. Docs-only change; no test pins these lines.

  • Stage 1 names a PR number/head branch instead of RFC issue RFC: run the PR Debug compile on persistent Macs for trusted pull requests #13198, which could never match a CI cohort.
  • The section 3.5 sweep matches only the admission metrics JSON line so routed runs aren't counted twice, and documents what each bucket means: persistent_route_unused means the route step was skipped (selector off, untrusted author, or product-reuse hit), an empty reason means the run adopted the persistent product.
  • Section 1.2 marks MACOS_RUNNER_PR as a snapshot from its measurement window (it's been blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-26 since 2026-09-24) and warns to re-read gh variable list before comparing.
  • Section 3.3 tells admins to compare a mini's xcodebuild -version against the hosted image's Build version line before routing, since up only checks that the app exists.

Written for commit 4780d4d. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the CI runner examples to use a pull request number and feature branch rather than a specific pull request.
    • Clarified how to check the active macOS runner lane and verify the installed Xcode version against current admission logs.
    • Refined guidance for interpreting runner health and fallback metrics, and for selecting eligible pull requests or branches for the Stage 1 pilot.

Stage 1 told the admin to run `scripts/persistent-compile pilot 13198`.
manaflow-ai#13198 is the RFC issue, not a pull request, so the cohort could never
match a CI run and the pilot would route nothing. Name the PR or branch
instead and say what qualifies. ci-runners.md used the same number as
its cohort example.

The section 3.5 fallback sweep grepped for `fallback_reason=...`, but
both the route step and the admission metrics step log JSON
(`"fallback_reason": "..."`), so the sweep printed nothing. Match the
admission metrics line only, so routed runs are not counted twice.
Checked against job 107582063160.

Section 1.2 said MACOS_RUNNER_PR is unset; it has been
blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-26 since 2026-09-24. Mark the sentence as the
state during the measurement window.

The measurement sweep can miss recent pull-request runs. Add the pull-request event filter before relying on its 50-run sample; the documentation change is otherwise mergeable.

Sweep for the last 50 PR runs. The admission metrics step logs its record as
one sorted JSON line, so match that line: the route step prints its own
`fallback_reason` JSON, and counting both would double every routed run.

Keep the sweep limited to pull-request runs.

ci.yml also runs on merge_group and workflow_dispatch. Add --event pull_request so non-PR runs cannot consume the 50-run limit.
