Why

#14393 rebalanced the app-host unit shards from measured timings. Its files (the timings JSON, cmux_unit_test_shard.py, run-app-host-unit-batches.sh, and the shard env in ci-macos.yml) are app-host consumer paths, so the PR run took the one-suite consumer canary and passed. After it merged, main failed four suites that only fail in the new order: TerminalNotificationDirectInteractionTests, AgentSessionAutoResumeSettingsTests, VaultQueuedRestoreIdentityTests, SidebarAccessibilityTreeTests (run 36101756298, job 107971365714).

A shard layout change decides which suites share a worker and in what order they run. The canary cannot see order dependence; only running every shard can.

What

scripts/ci/choose_ci_suite.py gains SHARD_LAYOUT_PATHS and shard_layout_changed(). A diff that touches any of these runs the app-host unit suite with no narrowing, the same as the unit-ci label (empty unit_selectors, so ci-macos.yml takes the seven-shard matrix, and unit_canary=false, so it is not dropped when the compile is reused). It does not set full_suite, so no Release build, package tests, or lag lane.

  • scripts/ci/cmux-unit-test-timings.json, scripts/ci/cmux_unit_test_shard.py, scripts/ci/run-app-host-unit-batches.sh: any edit.
  • .github/workflows/ci-macos.yml: only hunks in the app-host-unit-tests job's strategy: block (the shard matrix) or its job env CMUX_APP_HOST_*SHARD / CMUX_APP_HOST_RESERVED_WALL_SECONDS lines, found with the existing job_lines / changed_lines helpers. Other hunks in that job keep the consumer canary. An edit without hunks counts.
  • scripts/ci/generate_test_timings.py is left out: no CI job runs it, and a layout change it makes arrives as the timings JSON it writes.

An edited cmuxTests/ suite in the same diff does not narrow the run to that suite.

How validated

  • New test_a_shard_layout_edit_runs_every_app_host_unit_shard in tests/test_ci_change_areas.py, committed first and failing on 68cf9ff18f7f (ImportError, no SHARD_LAYOUT_PATHS), passing on the fix. It replays ci: rebalance app-host shards from measured timings on all seven workers #14393's file list with and without the reserved-wall-seconds hunk and checks the chooser's outputs end to end, plus the placement rules for ci-macos.yml.
  • python3 tests/test_ci_change_areas.py: PASS. tests/test_ci_cli_product_routing.py: OK. tests/test_ci_main_full_suite.py has one failure (test_the_dispatch_step_waits_until_its_run_is_listed) that fails identically on upstream/main without this change.

Summary by cubic

A shard layout change decides which app-host unit suites share a worker and in what order they run, but PRs that touched it only ran the one-suite consumer canary, so order-dependent failures slipped through (#14393 merged and main failed four suites). Now a diff that changes the layout runs every app-host unit shard on all seven workers.

  • Detects edits to the timings JSON, cmux_unit_test_shard.py, run-app-host-unit-batches.sh, or the app-host job's shard matrix and env in ci-macos.yml — including a shard setting the diff removes or renames to another key.
  • Expands the run exactly like the unit-ci label (empty unit_selectors, no canary drop) without the rest of the full suite; other ci-macos.yml hunks keep the canary.
  • Leaves generate_test_timings.py out since no CI job runs it; its layout change arrives as the timings JSON it writes.

Written for commit 5007ac9. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • CI Improvements
    • Changes to app-host test distribution settings—including shard configuration, timing data, and batch execution—now run every app-host unit-test suite instead of narrowing selection. If a workflow change cannot be reliably mapped to a shard, all suites are selected.
    • Other app-host changes continue to use targeted test selection. Unrelated workflow settings and application source changes do not trigger full-suite execution.
  • Documentation
    • Updated CI coverage guidance to reflect test selection for app-host distribution changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI chooser detects changes to app-host shard distribution inputs. When it detects such a change, it selects the full unit suite and bypasses suite narrowing and reverse-impact additions.

Changes

App-host shard layout selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Detect shard-layout changes
scripts/ci/choose_ci_suite.py
The chooser identifies shard-layout paths and checks relevant workflow changes against shard strategy and shard or reserved-wall-time settings.
Select all app-host unit suites
scripts/ci/choose_ci_suite.py, tests/test_ci_change_areas.py, CLAUDE.md
Detected layout changes force a unit run and bypass suite narrowing and reverse-impact additions. Tests cover layout changes and unrelated edits. CI guidance describes the full-suite rule.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0597a

A shard-setting rename or removal can run only the one-suite canary, leaving the intended seven-shard coverage absent. Fix detection before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0597a

The change improves validation for recognized shard-layout edits, but some deletion or key-replacement forms of those edits may still receive the narrower canary run instead of the intended all-shard validation.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Some valid shard-layout deletions or key replacements can evade layout classification and retain the narrower consumer-canary test path rather than the required all-shard validation.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — For recognized layout changes, CI scheduling expands from a targeted canary to the existing seven-shard app-host unit matrix, whose jobs retain existing OIDC-token capability.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An edit to shard layout that is represented only by a deleted or renamed layout line can avoid the intended comprehensive validation gate, allowing altered test ordering or assignment to be assessed by only the ordinary consumer canary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Classification is constrained to a fixed set of layout files and selected app-host job lines; tests confirm unrelated workflow, consumer-script, and application-source edits do not become layout changes.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The downstream unit worker fails when scheduled batch selector generation fails or produces no selectors, but those worker checks do not restore all-shard execution when the chooser has selected the canary path.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Classify workflow hunks against both pre-change and post-change layout regions, or conservatively route any deletion or rename adjacent to an app-host layout declaration to all shards; add explicit tests for deletion of the final recognized layout key and replacement of a recognized shard key.

#14393 rebalanced the shards, took the one-suite consumer canary, and
merged; main then failed four suites that only fail in the new order.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The timings file, the sharder, the batch runner, and the app-host job's
matrix and shard env decide which suites share a worker and in what order.
Only running all seven shards shows order dependence; the one-suite
consumer canary cannot. These now select the unit suite with no
narrowing, as unit-ci does, without the rest of the full suite.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
changed_lines() reports new-side lines only, so a ci-macos.yml edit that
deleted a CMUX_APP_HOST_*_SHARD setting or a matrix shard entry, or renamed
it to another key, left no layout line on the new side and took the
one-suite canary. Scan the workflow's removed lines for those settings too.
