With owned pools on, the picker takes an owned pool only when a run's whole peak is free. On 2026-09-24 a full suite with 2 of 11 minis busy went entirely to Blacksmith, whose 6vcpu macOS 26 pool queued shards for 5 to 7 minutes, while 7 std minis sat idle.

This change places jobs one at a time. It is off unless CI_PR_POOL_OWNED_SPLIT is 1.

What changes

  • Split pick. When no owned pool fits the whole run, the run takes the owned pool with the most free machines (at least one). The earlier pool in the order wins a tie.

  • owned_jobs output. The picker names the jobs that fit, space-delimited (admission cli-product cli-pipe). Priority:

    1. compile admission: the heavy compile, and the mini keeps its warm DerivedData
    2. cli-product, cli-pipe, remote-daemon, claude-wrapper

    Each job counts one machine. Jobs that run after admission reuse its machine.

  • Every other attempt-1 job takes retry_runner. That is the Blacksmith pool on the lane's Xcode. Each job's lane now reads (github.run_attempt > 1 || !contains(inputs.pr_owned_jobs, ' <key> ')) && inputs.pr_retry_runner || inputs.pr_runner. Attempt 2 and later behave as before.

  • GUI jobs never take an owned pool, in either mode. App-host shards and tests-build-and-lag need a console session, which the minis don't have (job 107862186541, XCTest exit 65). A persistent pick also turns unit_in_admission off, so the changed suites run on a Blacksmith shard instead of inside compile admission on a mini. With the split off, a run takes an owned pool only when all of its owned-eligible jobs fit.

  • Accounting. The marker's <jobs> is now the number of owned machines the run holds at its peak, not the whole run. The janitor's committed and ci: charge newer PR runs what they took on the owned pool, not a guess #14300's route lookup therefore count only the jobs actually placed on the minis.

Why a split run is safe

The shards and cli-product-tests run compile admission's product. Under a split, that product can come from a mini while the tests run on Blacksmith.

  • Same Xcode on both sides. In these compile admission jobs on 2026-09-24, the minis (cmux15, cmuxs-mac-mini-5, cmux13s) and Blacksmith 6vcpu and 12vcpu macOS 26 all reported Xcode 26.6 build 17F113.
  • One direction only. Admission is always placed first, so the product moves from a mini to Blacksmith and never the other way.
  • Fails closed. app_host_test_products.check_xcode refuses a product linked by a newer Xcode than the consumer's.
  • Already done by the rescue. It re-runs a refused job's failed jobs on Blacksmith and keeps the admission that passed on the mini. Its docstring now describes the split.

Not in this PR

Tests

Python and shell only, no app builds.

  • tests/test_ci_pr_runner_pool.py: 74 tests, 6 new in PerJobPlacement. They cover the plan, priority, the GUI exclusion, split and whole-run picks, the tie rule, the variable gate, and main's owned_jobs and marker jobs.
  • tests/test_seed_derived_data.py: its expression evaluator learns contains(), and the admission owned or overflow cases are added.
  • Pinned expressions updated in tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh (check_macos_runner, check_owned_pools_route_through_picker) and in the product-consumer guard of tests/test_ci_change_areas.py.
  • Also passing: test_ci_owned_pool_rescue, test_ci_fork_runner_routing, test_ci_queue_janitor, test_ci_owned_build_state, test_ci_workflow_guards_are_wired, test_ci_test_execution_registry, test_reuse_app_host_products, and actionlint on the four workflows.
  • The product key is untouched. The admission edits are runs-on and CMUX_PRODUCT_RUNNER only.

To turn it on

gh variable set CI_PR_POOL_OWNED_SPLIT --repo manaflow-ai/cmux --body 1

To turn it off, delete the variable or set it to anything but 1.

Summary by cubic

Places each PR macOS job on a free owned mini one at a time so a run no longer overflows to Blacksmith while minis sit idle. Previously the picker took an owned pool only when a run's whole peak was free, so a full suite with 2 of 11 minis busy queued on Blacksmith for 5–7 minutes. This per-job placement is off unless CI_PR_POOL_OWNED_SPLIT is 1.

Behavior changes

  • When no owned pool fits the whole run, the picker takes the owned pool with the most free machines and names the jobs that fit (owned_jobs): compile admission first, then the GUI jobs (app-host shards by index, tests-build-and-lag), then cli-product, cli-pipe, remote-daemon, claude-wrapper.
  • Every other attempt-1 job takes retry_runner (Blacksmith on the lane's Xcode); attempt 2 and later re-runs behave as before.
  • GUI jobs take an owned pool because the minis run their runners in a logged-in session, and fail closed on a busy machine; CI_PR_POOL_OWNED_GUI=0 keeps them on Blacksmith.
  • A compile admission on an owned mini never runs changed suites (glaeda gives it the compile token, not the gui token, so they could collide with a GUI shard); they always move to shard 8.
  • The marker's jobs counts only the owned machines actually placed, and the janitor frees a run's machines once as many owned jobs as its peak have completed, instead of holding them until the whole run completes.

Why splitting is safe

  • The minis and Blacksmith both ran Xcode 26.6 build 17F113 on 2026-09-24.
  • The product only moves from a mini to Blacksmith (admission is always placed first), and check_xcode refuses a product linked by a newer Xcode, so a drift fails closed.
  • To enable: gh variable set CI_PR_POOL_OWNED_SPLIT --repo manaflow-ai/cmux --body 1. Deleting the variable or setting it to anything but 1 turns it off.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • CI Improvements
    • macOS pull-request checks can be distributed between persistent and retry runner pools on a per-job basis.
    • Jobs assigned to the persistent pool use it on the initial run; reruns and other jobs use the retry pool when available.
    • Pool selection considers job types and available machines, and completed persistent-pool jobs release their reserved capacity while other jobs continue.
    • Split runs require both pools to use the same Xcode version; otherwise, rerun the full suite.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The macOS pool picker can split eligible jobs between a persistent owned pool and a retry pool. CI workflows pass selected job keys to runner-selection logic, which routes jobs based on pool assignment and run attempt. The expression evaluator also adds contains support.

Changes

macOS runner placement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Plan jobs and select pool capacity
scripts/ci/pr_runner_pool.py, .github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/test_ci_pr_runner_pool.py
The picker builds a keyed run plan and can select an owned pool with partial capacity when splitting is enabled. Placement tests cover job priority, capacity, GUI eligibility, and split-selection behavior.
Publish owned jobs and track pool commitments
scripts/ci/pr_runner_pool.py, scripts/ci/queue_janitor.py, scripts/ci/owned_pool_rescue.py, tests/test_ci_pr_runner_pool.py
The picker outputs selected owned-job keys and held-machine counts. The queue snapshot excludes completed owned jobs from a run’s committed peak. Documentation describes per-job pool placement and the same-Xcode condition for split runs.
Pass owned-job keys and route workflows
.github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/ci-macos.yml, .github/workflows/cli-pipe-regressions.yml, .github/workflows/remote-daemon.yml, tests/test_ci_change_areas.py, tests/test_ci_pr_runner_pool.py, tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, tests/test_seed_derived_data.py, tests/test_ci_parallel_artifact_transport.py
The workflows pass owned-job keys to runner selection. On reruns, or when a job key is not owned, routing expressions select the retry runner. Tests cover keyed routing and runner checks.
Evaluate substring expressions
tests/test_seed_derived_data.py
The expression evaluator accepts contains and performs a case-insensitive substring check, alongside startsWith.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5cade

An owned mini can be assigned to another run while a selected dependent job still needs it, delaying that job. Correct the commitment release condition before merging.

Keep owned capacity reserved until every selected owned job is accounted for.

released checks only the owned-labeled jobs currently returned by GitHub. app-host-unit-tests, cli-product-tests, and tests-build-and-lag wait for macos-compile-admission, so their job records and runner labels can be absent when admission has completed. A snapshot in that interval can release the marker while those selected jobs still need the pool.

Store the count of selected owned jobs in the marker. Do not use the peak machine count for this value. Release only when that count of owned jobs is completed and every currently labeled owned job is completed. Update both marker parsers, the marker name in .github/workflows/ci.yml, and the regression fixture. If admission or another selected job is skipped, its count can remain unreached until the run completes, which preserves the safe reservation.

The picker took an owned pool only when a run's whole peak was free, so a
full suite with 2 of 11 minis busy went to Blacksmith entirely and queued
there while 9 minis sat idle.

With CI_PR_POOL_OWNED_SPLIT=1, a run that does not fit takes the owned pool
with the most machines free, and a new owned_jobs output names the jobs that
fit: compile admission first, then the light jobs (cli-product, cli-pipe,
remote-daemon, claude-wrapper). Every other attempt-1 job takes
retry_runner, the Blacksmith pool on the lane's Xcode. The marker's <jobs>
is now the owned machines the run holds, so the janitor's committed count
covers only the jobs placed there.

GUI jobs (app-host shards, tests-build-and-lag) never take an owned pool:
the minis have no console session. A persistent pick turns off
unit_in_admission, so the changed suites run on a Blacksmith shard.

Splitting a run is sound because both sides run Xcode 26.6 build 17F113
(minis cmux15, cmuxs-mac-mini-5, cmux13s and Blacksmith 6vcpu/12vcpu
macOS 26 on 2026-09-24). The product only moves from the mini to Blacksmith,
and check_xcode refuses a product from a newer Xcode.

The minis' runners are LaunchAgents in the logged-in user's Aqua session,
and #14305's changed suites passed inside compile admission on
cmuxs-mac-mini-5. Job 107862186541's exit 65 was that PR's own test
(CMUXCLICodexUnavailableAdmissionTests), not the environment.

Owned placement now goes admission, app-host shards by index,
tests-build-and-lag, then the light jobs; the shards queue longest on
Blacksmith. CI_PR_POOL_OWNED_GUI=0 keeps GUI jobs off the minis again, and
only then does a persistent pick move the changed suites out of admission
(new output owned_gui).

glaeda's runner hook gives compile admission the compile token, never the
gui token, so app-host suites run inside it on a mini could collide with a
GUI shard on the same machine. Every persistent pick now runs them on shard
8 instead, and the picker plans for that shard.

With per-job placement, a run's owned jobs (admission, light lanes) can
finish long before its Blacksmith shards, but the janitor charged the
marker's peak until the whole run completed, so idle minis read as busy
and new runs overflowed. A marked run whose owned jobs all completed now
holds nothing; before its first owned job exists, the marker still
reserves its peak.

The product-consumer guard also requires tests-build-and-lag to test its
own ' lag ' key, so it cannot follow admission's placement by copy-paste.

… minis until its peak finishes

The CLI product and app-host shard routes differ only by their owned_jobs
key, so the transport test compares them with the key normalized. The
janitor now releases a marked run's owned machines only once as many owned
jobs as its peak have completed: shard jobs exist only after admission.

432-436: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The release check uses the peak machine count where it needs the placed-job count. This lets another run take a mini before a placed job starts.

The marker's jobs value is held, the number of owned machines at peak. place() can place more jobs than machines, because jobs that run after admission reuse admission's machine. Those jobs also have no GitHub job record until admission finishes. The condition done >= marker[1] can therefore be true before every placed owned job exists.

Example: 10 of 11 minis are busy, and a full-suite run gets owned_budget=1. place() returns owned_jobs=" admission shard-1 " and jobs=1. Admission finishes, and shard-1 does not exist yet. The janitor then sees owned_jobs=[admission(completed)] and done=1 >= 1. It releases the commitment. The next picker gives the free mini to another run, and shard-1 queues behind that run on the owned pool.

The same thing happens with CI_PR_POOL_OWNED_GUI=0 and a budget of 2. The placed jobs are admission, cli-product, and cli-pipe, with a peak of 2. After admission and cli-pipe finish, done=2 meets the peak and the janitor releases the pool, but cli-product has not started yet. The new test at tests/test_ci_pr_runner_pool.py lines 381–385 covers only the case where peak is greater than or equal to the job count.

To fix this, publish the number of placed owned jobs, len(owned_jobs), next to the peak. Release only when that many owned jobs have completed and every owned job currently listed has completed. The change touches:

  • pr_runner_pool.main
  • the marker name in .github/workflows/ci.yml
  • OWNED_MARKER and the parsers in both scripts
  • the fixture
Proposed janitor change
-        released = (bool(owned_jobs) and done == len(owned_jobs)
-                    and (not marker or done >= marker[1]))
+        # marker: (pool, peak machines, placed owned jobs). Jobs after admission
+        # have no record until it finishes, so count placed jobs, not machines.
+        released = (bool(owned_jobs) and done == len(owned_jobs)
+                    and (not marker or done >= marker[2]))

A scripts/ci helper any routed job could reach selected every area, macOS,
web and Release included, wherever it ran. The walk that decided it also
followed comments, docstrings and the routing tables that list helpers as
data, so most helpers reached the `changes` job and forced everything. A
ci-macos.yml edit above `jobs:`, such as a new workflow_call input, did too.

- ci_helper_areas() replaces ci_helper_reaches_routed_lane(): a helper
  selects the areas that gate the routed jobs running it (ci-macos.yml jobs
  by the same rules as a job edit, ci-web.yml web, the CLI lane cli, a Linux
  job the areas its `if:` reads). Routing, status and other Mac jobs still
  run every area. Comments, docstrings and the three routing tables no
  longer count as running a helper.
- A ci-macos.yml workflow_call input edit reaches only the jobs that read
  the input, unless the workflow env reads it; a comment-only edit changes
  no job.

* ci: close the routing review's under-selection gaps

- An input key with a trailing comment still opens its own input; a
  flow-style or unreadable one at that indent answers every job.
- A Linux job reads area outputs anywhere in its block (folded or step
  conditions), maps outputs derived from macOS to macOS, and runs every
  area when it waits on another job or reads an output this cannot place.
- The routing tables' imports still run a helper; only their path lists
  are dead ends.
- A helper the Swift package lane runs selects every area, since that lane
  is chosen by package path.
- `#!` lines are not comments.

Measured queue wait for PR compile admission (macos / macOS compile admission, attempt 1 only, job started_at minus job created_at) across the routing changes #14205, #14237, #14312, #14318, #14319, #14323 and #14325. Source: ci.yml pull_request runs, jobs from GET /actions/runs/{id}/jobs?filter=latest, runner class from job labels.

Window (UTC) n on owned minis median wait p75 p90 mean
09-24 03:46 to 14:59, all 223 0 (0%) 120 s 695 s 1535 s 492 s

Demand per hour (macOS jobs that got a runner, from the same job lists): 55 to 89 in the after window, 52 to 88 in 09-24 04 and 06 to 11, 31 to 41 in 09-24 12 to 14.

Confounders:

  • ci: pick one macOS pool per pull request run by preference and live queue depth #14205 (pick the least queued Blacksmith pool, merged 12:13Z on 09-24) is inside the early window. Before it every PR admission queued on blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-26, which explains most of the 312 s median. The 12 to 14Z row is the fairer baseline for the owned routing alone, and it had about half the demand of the after window.
  • The after window is 3.5 hours of US night; owned slots were raised again at 04:32Z (CI_OWNED_POOL_SLOTS).
  • Owned vs Blacksmith inside the after window is not a controlled split: Blacksmith gets the overflow, so it sees the busier moments.
  • Reruns (attempt 2 and later) are excluded: their job created_at can be later than started_at.
