What

The picker (pr_runner_pool.py) places every macOS job when a run starts. The app-host shards, tests-build-and-lag and cli-product-tests only start after compile admission, often ten minutes later. If the owned pool was full at the start, those jobs are committed to Blacksmith and stay queued there even after the root runners drain.

Seen on 2026-09-25 around 09:20Z: 19 jobs queued on blacksmith-12vcpu-macos-26 (capacity 5) while 9 of 16 std root runners sat idle. Run 36115967785 picked at 08:58, when all 16 roots were busy with 12 jobs queued, so its admission and 7 shards went to Blacksmith. By the time the shards started, the minis were idle.

This adds a late-placement job to ci-macos.yml. It runs after admission succeeds and does three things:

  • reads the idle root runners live through the route App (the same token and read the picker uses);
  • takes the std root label for admission's own Xcode (needs.macos-compile-admission.outputs.xcode_app);
  • gives that label to the jobs not already owned, in the picker's priority order (shards, then lag, then cli-product), one per idle runner.

The moved jobs fetch admission's uploaded products, as they do after an owned admission. They never compile.

Scope and fallbacks

  • Runs only on attempt 1 of same-repository pull requests with CI_PR_POOL_OWNED=1 and the route App configured. It is skipped when admission ran owned and cli-product was already owned, which is the common case when the fleet has room.
  • Every step is continue-on-error, and the output defaults to {}. Each consumer's runs-on reads fromJSON(... || '{}')[key] first on attempt 1 and falls through to today's expression, so a skipped, failed or empty placement changes nothing.
  • Re-runs (attempt 2+) keep today's routing.
  • The script runs from the base branch (pull_request.base.sha), as the picker does from the trusted router.
  • ci.yml now passes GLAEDA_ROUTE_APP_KEY to ci-macos.yml as an optional secret.

Guards updated

  • test_ci_change_areas.py: the product-consumer Xcode guard accepts the late branch only while late-placement takes admission's xcode_app. A new test proves that pointing it anywhere else reports all three consumers.
  • test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, test_ci_pr_runner_pool.py, test_ci_parallel_artifact_transport.py: these pin the exact route expressions and now include the late branch.
  • tests/test_ci_late_placement.py (13 tests), wired into ci-guards.yml.

Verification

  • Locally: test_ci_late_placement, test_ci_pr_runner_pool (153), test_ci_change_areas, test_ci_fork_runner_routing, test_ci_parallel_artifact_transport, test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, test_ci_owned_pool_rescue, the workflow-guard wiring tests, and actionlint on both workflows all pass.
  • Not related to this change: test_ci_e2e_compilation_cache fails the same way on unmodified main (ONLY_TESTING[@]: unbound variable).
  • The live path runs only after merge, because the script is read from the base branch. After merge I'll check the first run whose admission lands on Blacksmith.

Summary by cubic

Fixes post-admission macOS jobs backing up on Blacksmith while owned root runners sit idle after compile admission.

The picker (pr_runner_pool.py) places every job at run start, so when the owned pool was full, shards, tests-build-and-lag, and cli-product-tests stayed queued on Blacksmith even after roots drained. A new late-placement job reads idle root runners live once admission succeeds and moves not-yet-owned jobs onto them, one per idle runner, in the picker's priority order. Moved jobs reuse admission's uploaded products and never compile.

  • Runs only on attempt 1 of same-repository PRs with the owned pool and route App configured; every step is continue-on-error and output defaults to {}, so a skipped or failed placement leaves run-start routing unchanged.
  • Moved jobs upload a marker, and ci.yml's owned-pool-watch now starts the rescue for a run whose picker owned nothing; the rescue waits for the marker before calling the run ephemeral.
  • Passes GLAEDA_ROUTE_APP_KEY from ci.yml to ci-macos.yml as an optional secret, updates runner routing and self-hosted guards for the late branch, and adds late-placement tests wired into ci-guards.yml and the linux-guard test lane.

Written for commit 4740ebd. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • CI Improvements
    • Eligible macOS build and test jobs can be assigned to available owned runners during a run, including when runners become available after initial placement.
    • Existing runner-selection and retry behavior remains in place when late placement is unavailable or no suitable runner is found.
    • The owned-runner watch can account for jobs placed later in the run, helping ensure the run is monitored and handled correctly.
  • Tests
    • Added automated checks for late runner placement and related workflow routing.

…ission finishes

The picker places every job at run start, but the app-host shards,
tests-build-and-lag and cli-product-tests start only after compile
admission. When the owned pool was full at the start they stayed on
Blacksmith even after roots drained (09-25: 19 jobs queued on
blacksmith-12vcpu-macos-26, cap 5, while 9 of 16 std roots were idle).

A late-placement job reads the idle root runners live through the route
App after admission succeeds and gives the not-yet-owned jobs the root
label for admission's Xcode, one per idle runner. They fetch admission's
products as they do after an owned admission. Attempt 1 of same-repo PRs
only; any failure leaves the run-start placement.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI workflows assign eligible post-admission jobs to idle owned root runners. On the first attempt, app-host, CLI, and lag jobs use assigned runners when available. The owned-pool watcher can follow jobs moved by late placement.

Changes

Late Placement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Select jobs and runners
scripts/ci/late_placement.py, tests/test_ci_late_placement.py
The script derives eligible jobs, matches them to idle runners in the admission Xcode’s owned pool, and writes the placement mapping. Tests cover job selection, runner availability, GUI filtering, and empty-placement cases.
Wire placements into macOS CI
.github/workflows/ci-macos.yml, .github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/ci-guards.yml, tests/test_ci_change_areas.py, tests/test_ci_parallel_artifact_transport.py, tests/test_ci_pr_runner_pool.py, tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, tests/test-execution.toml
The workflow configures the placement job and passes its runner assignments to app-host, CLI, and lag jobs. Guard and route checks cover the placement wiring and runner-selection expressions.
Track late placements in the rescue watcher
.github/workflows/ci-owned-pool-rescue.yml, .github/workflows/ci.yml, scripts/ci/owned_pool_rescue.py, tests/test_ci_owned_pool_rescue.py
The dispatch passes a late-placement flag. When enabled, the watcher waits for the late-placement job and follows the run if its marker appears.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4740e

Late-placed CI jobs can queue without reliable rescue coverage. Address capacity contention and make runner assignments depend on successful marker publication before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4740e

Later CI jobs can now move onto shared owned runners. If the record of that move is not uploaded, the recovery watcher can stop even though those jobs were redirected, leaving stuck jobs without the intended rescue. The new placement is restricted to first-attempt, same-repository pull requests; no privilege escalation is established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: A best-effort marker upload can fail after consumer jobs have been assigned owned runner labels. The watcher then treats the run as having no late owned placement and stops, removing the intended rescue path for those jobs.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Each eligible run can move at most its eligible post-admission jobs up to the observed idle count on the root label matching admission’s Xcode. This increases use of persistent runners, but the inspected gates do not admit fork pull requests or reruns to the new placement path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Rescue does not act on a dispatch-supplied run ID alone: it fetches the run, applies target validation, checks placement evidence, and then assesses GitHub-reported jobs before the existing cancel-and-rerun path.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The missing-marker terminal path weakens recovery for newly moved jobs, rather than demonstrating an authorization bypass. An upload failure after routing is sufficient; delayed artifact visibility has not been established or ruled out.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make recovery independent of a single best-effort marker read—for example, retain a bounded check of actual owned-job labels before treating a late-placement run as ephemeral.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 19.57% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 46 functions across 8 files. (5 skipped: 5 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

The PR materially expands a production polling wait in scripts/ci/owned_pool_rescue.py. When the picker has no marker, the new target.late path keeps the watcher alive until the late-placement job completes and its artifact appears (picker_finished(jobs, LATE_JOB) and has_artifact(...)). The loop then sleeps between API checks through sleep(interval), with the new interval selection using the fixed IDLE_POLL_SECONDS value. The added test confirms this wall-clock polling at 45, 165, 285, and 405 seconds. This is a build/runtime script invoked by the rescue workflow, and it uses elapsed time to bridge a cross-job lifecycle handoff. The new behavior is not test-only and is not a cancellation-aware product retry or timeout abstraction.

Resolution

Replace the rescue script's new late-placement polling path with an owner-driven completion signal. Start or notify the rescue watcher only after the late-placement job has completed and has uploaded its marker, or otherwise have the late-placement owner publish a completion event that the watcher can await. Do not keep the existing watcher alive with fixed sleep intervals while waiting for that job. Preserve a bounded, cancellation-aware timeout only for handling a missing or failed completion signal.

Review: a moved job waits for a root runner that another run may take
first, and a run whose picker owned nothing had no rescue watch, so it
could sit queued with nothing to move it back to Blacksmith.

late-placement now uploads a macos-pool-late-<run>-<attempt> marker when
it moves jobs. ci.yml's owned-pool-watch also starts the rescue for a
same-repo PR whose picker owned nothing but which has jobs after
admission (full or unit suite, or the CLI lane), with late=1. That watch
reads the picker's marker once, then waits at IDLE_POLL_SECONDS for
ci-macos.yml's late-placement job, and follows the run only if its marker
exists. Existing watches are unchanged.

Make placement conditional on successful marker publication.

If Upload the late placement marker fails, continue-on-error lets the job expose the nonempty runners output. Consumers then request owned runners, but owned_pool_rescue.watch() finds no marker and stops watching them. Gate the published runner mapping on a successful marker upload. Treat a missing marker file as an upload failure, so both cases use the existing route.

… on fork PRs (#14192)

* ci: parse runner expressions in the fork guard, and gate LINUX_RUNNER on fork PRs

The fork routing guard now parses each ${{ }} expression (&&, ||, !,
comparisons, parentheses, calls, literals, contexts) and requires the fork
pull-request branch as a top-level alternative ahead of every runner
variable. Only guarded literals such as the owner branch may come first,
plus a bare dispatch input in a workflow with no workflow_call trigger,
where inputs are empty on a pull_request run. A fork branch nested under
another condition, such as the paid-overflow switch, no longer passes.

LINUX_RUNNER and LINUX_ARM64_RUNNER are as free-form as MACOS_RUNNER_*,
and docs/ci-runner-capability-labels.md already maps them to self-hosted
linux labels, so the guard gates them too. The 61 Linux runs-on lines in
the pull-request graph now send a fork PR to their Blacksmith fallback
before reading LINUX_RUNNER. Nothing changes for same-repository runs.

cloud-machine-tests.yml reads inputs.runner after the owner branch, the
same order #14107 gave cloud-command-deadlines.yml.

* test: close the fork guard's literal, spelling and workflow_call gaps

A guarded literal ahead of the fork branch must itself be a hosted or
Blacksmith label, so a self-hosted label chosen before the fork branch
fails. vars['X'] and other-case spellings of a runner variable are
matched like vars.X. Any uncommented workflow_call mention turns off the
dispatch-input exemption, so a flow-style `on:` fails closed.

#14460's late-placement job read vars.LINUX_RUNNER without the fork
