Why

Slice 1 (#14436) names suspect pull requests for each new failure on main's full suite from the diff alone. That guess blames an author for a flaky test, and gives no single answer for a tie or a failure no diff explains. On the latest red run (https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/36106360658), 11 new failures got: 1 unattributed, 1 tied five ways (nobody pinged), 3 tied three ways, and 6 single suspects, none checked against a run.

What

scripts/ci/main_regression_bisect.py advance, run by the new main-regression-bisect.yml every 15 minutes and right after each report (main only, one invocation at a time, never cancelled). Each invocation advances every open check by one step, because a focused run takes 10 to 30 minutes.

  1. Flake check. The first 5 new failures of each red run are dispatched alone at the red run's head with scripts/ci/dispatch-focused-test.py. At that commit it reuses the products the red run compiled (app-host-test-rerun.yml, only cmuxTests recompiles). A pass marks the failure flaky: its issue row says so, and each suspect's slice-1 comment (found by its hidden marker, pull request and range) gets an update on that test's line, plus a top line when every test in the comment turned out flaky.
  2. Bisect. A reproduced failure with no suspect or several is bisected over the commits between the two full-suite runs that can change an app-host test: slice 1's section now ends with a hidden data marker listing the failures, suspects, merged pull requests and those commits (docs, web/, scripts/ci/ and similar only commits are skipped, using app_host_test_rerun.OUTSIDE_THE_APP). On the red run above that is 23 of the range's commits, so about 5 probes. A commit where the test does not exist yet (the selector-resolution step fails) counts as passing. A single suspect is left at "reproduced" (its comment says so). A range over 256 such commits is not bisected.
  3. Verdict. The last commit left is itself probed unless it is the red run's head, so a failure that only reproduces at the head (another runner pool: the head's rerun reuses the red run's products, bisect probes compile on the routed pool; or a cause in a skipped scripts/ci/ commit) ends unresolved instead of blaming a pull request. Then the issue row and the culprit's comment say confirmed with the passing and failing run links (the baseline full-suite run when the first commit is the culprit). A culprit nobody suspected gets one comment (hidden marker, idempotent). Other suspects' comments say the bisect cleared them.

A run counts as a test failure only when its Run selected tests step failed. Any other failure (compile, runner) is an error, retried once, then given up. Dispatches pass --force: the dispatcher refuses a selector that already failed at a commit, which is the question being asked, and the state already keeps one run per item in flight.

State lives in one comment on the tracking issue: a hidden JSON marker plus a readable table. Only comments github-actions wrote are read, and shas and selectors are validated before a dispatch, so nobody else's comment can steer one. The state is written before the edits, so a failed edit cannot lose a dispatched run.

Caps: 5 flake checks per red run, 4 dispatches per invocation, 2 concurrent bisects, 10 open checks, 20 finished items kept, and vars.MAIN_REGRESSION_BISECT_DISPATCHES_PER_DAY (default 24, 0 stops new dispatches) in any 24 hours. Checks expire after 3 days, and stop when the issue closes on a green run. No reverts.

Compile cost. Flake checks reuse the red run's products. Bisect midpoints are intermediate main commits no CI run compiled (only full-suite heads are compiled), so each probe is a full test-e2e.yml build, 12 to 27 minutes of a macOS runner, routed by the usual pool picker (owned minis first). The dispatcher still reuses products whenever an ancestor with the same app has them.

How validated

  • python3 tests/test_ci_main_regression_bisect.py: 34 fixture-driven tests, no network: flaky, bisect to the first bad commit in log2 probes, baseline link for the first commit, head-only confirm without a probe, last commit probed before confirming, head-only failure left unresolved, missing test counts as passing, nested suite skipped, range too long, single suspect, no relevant commit, error retry with force, pending, per-run/per-invocation/per-day/concurrency caps, expiry, bounded state size, step classification, marker round trip and validation, issue row and suspect comment edits, culprit post idempotency, workflow wiring.
  • python3 tests/test_ci_main_regression_attribution.py: 28 tests (2 new: outcome commits, data marker and its bounds).
  • Two review passes (subagent): the first found 8 issues, all fixed in 6e9a144; the second found the pull request map unbounded for long ranges, fixed in 166bf98.
  • test_ci_workflow_run_sources.py, test_runner_label_policy.py, test_ci_workflow_guards_are_wired.py, test_ci_reusable_workflow_permissions.py, actionlint, verify-local.py --affected: pass.
  • Dry run of slice 1's report on https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/36106360658 with this change: the data marker parses and validates (11 tests, 49 pull requests, 23 outcome commits, section 8.8 KB). A simulated advance over it with fake runs produced the expected flaky, reproduced and confirmed rows and a 6.6 KB state comment. advance --dry-run against Main full-suite CI is red #13879 reads the issue and pull request comments over GraphQL and does nothing (no data markers yet).

Open

  • The per-day cap is a capacity choice: 24 is roughly 4 to 5 bisects a day at full compile each.
  • Single-suspect failures are not bisected; confirming those too would spend about 5 full compiles each.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds commit data to regression-attribution reports and a workflow that reruns new failures, bisects eligible failures, and records outcomes in GitHub issue and pull-request comments. It also adds workflow configuration and tests for the bisect process.

Changes

Main regression bisect

Layer / File(s) Summary
Attribution data and relevant commits
scripts/ci/main_regression_attribution.py, tests/test_ci_main_regression_attribution.py
The report filters commits by changed paths and can append bounded run, failure, attribution, commit, and pull-request data for bisection. Tests cover commit selection and marker contents.
Bisect state and probe decisions
scripts/ci/main_regression_bisect.py, tests/test_ci_main_regression_bisect.py
The process validates and stores state, queues new failures, applies dispatch limits, classifies probe results, and determines item outcomes. Tests cover state transitions, limits, expiration, and marker validation.
GitHub polling and result updates
scripts/ci/main_regression_bisect.py, tests/test_ci_main_regression_bisect.py
The command polls and dispatches focused runs, updates relevant issue and pull-request comments, and supports dry-run mode. Tests cover comment edits and result reporting.
Scheduled workflow and test registration
.github/workflows/main-regression-bisect.yml, .github/workflows/ci-guards.yml, tests/test-execution.toml, tests/test_ci_main_regression_bisect.py
The workflow runs on scheduled, qualifying workflow-run, and manual triggers. CI registers the bisect tests, which also check workflow restrictions, permissions, and command configuration.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 30677

A stalled GitHub call can delay automated regression checks. Add a timeout before merging if uninterrupted scheduled checks are required; otherwise this is a bounded operational risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 30677

The new automation is limited to main and has dispatch and concurrency controls, but interrupted runs or failed comment updates can leave verification work duplicated or its published results out of sync. No externally reachable security exploit was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: A focused run can be created before its ID and budget use are saved. An interruption or ambiguous dispatch timeout can cause the next invocation to dispatch the same probe again; --force bypasses the dispatcher's in-flight reuse guard.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: A terminal verdict can be saved while its issue-row or PR-comment update fails. Later advances skip terminal items, so the published attribution can remain out of sync with the state that owns the verdict.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new authority is scoped to the main repository's guarded workflow, but a mistaken dispatch or attribution write can affect focused CI execution and the shared failure issue or implicated PRs.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Human-authored issue and PR comments are excluded as inputs. The workflow checks repository, main ref, and upstream workflow identity; its manual trigger supplies no test or ref input.
  • inferred — Bot authorship and marker syntax are the consumer's principal authority checks. The inspected consumer does not independently associate a marker's run ID and SHAs with a verified main full-suite run; the upstream report does restrict its reported CI run to a main workflow dispatch.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Non-atomic dispatch and comment writes can make the issue's state, displayed verdicts, and actual focused runs disagree after a partial failure, weakening failure containment and the auditability of regression triage.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Persist a dispatch intent or stable request identifier before remote creation, reconcile uncertain outcomes, and replay unfinished issue/PR annotations from durable state.
  • proposed — Before dispatch, bind accepted marker run IDs and commit SHAs to the expected repository, originating full-suite run, and its main-history range rather than relying on bot authorship and syntax alone.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 19.39% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 98 functions across 4 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

scripts/ci/main_regression_bisect.py:502-508 rescans every collected issue comment for every event. issue_comments at lines 608-621 paginates the full bot-authored issue-comment collection without a bound. section_edits then calls hidden_json, which scans each comment body, inside the event loop. This is O(E×C×B), where C is the unbounded issue-comment count and B is body size. The state limits bound open checks, but they do not bound C. The PR includes no benchmark or measurement for this repeated scan.

Resolution

Build a single index while reading the issue comments, such as run_id -> comment ids/current bodies, and have section_edits update only nodes indexed for each event. Keep the index bounded or use a source-side query if the issue-comment history can grow. Add a regression test or measurement for a long issue-comment history.

Each new failure the attribution reports is rerun alone at the red run's
head. A pass marks it flaky on the tracking issue and in the suspect pull
requests' comments. A reproduced failure with no single suspect is bisected
over the commits in its range that can change an app-host test, one probe
per invocation of a 15-minute job, with state kept in a hidden JSON marker
on the issue. A one-commit window confirms the culprit on the issue and on
its pull request with the passing and failing run links. Dispatches are
capped per run, per invocation, per day, and at two concurrent bisects.

- Skip a nested-suite test instead of dropping its red run's whole marker.
- Count a commit where the test does not exist yet (selector resolution
  failed) as passing, and probe the last commit left unless it is the red
  run's head, so a failure only the head shows ends unresolved instead of
  blaming the last pull request.
- Always pass --force: the dispatcher refuses a selector that already
  failed at a commit, which is the question being asked.
- Reset the error count after any real result.
- Keep the state and data markers under GitHub's comment size limit: finished
  items drop their probes, dispatches stop near the limit, and a range over
  256 commits is not listed for bisection.
- The all-flaky header on a suspect comment matches a fixed phrase, so it
  appears for comments listing several tests.

- Cache job logs per run attempt, and look the attempt up first, so a rerun
  of a compile-failed probe is read fresh instead of the cached failure.
- Read a cancelled job's log: a job timeout reports as cancelled and still
  carries partial results. Only a skipped or never-started job is an error.
- Save state after every dispatch and merge probes other invocations added,
  written atomically, so a failed dispatch or a long `status --wait` cannot
  orphan branches.
- Check range endpoints against first-parent history, and space `--points`
  probes evenly instead of rounding the step down.
- `next` steps past a midpoint that answered nothing for the test instead
  of reporting the window closed.
- `adopt` keeps an existing probe's branch; `cleanup` keeps state when a
  branch deletion fails; `start --force` names the branches it leaves.
- "broken by" only names a watched commit; counts say "watched commits".
- Skill: #14510 for app-host bisects, branch naming, INCOMPLETE meaning, and
  `--patch` needs its own `--bisect` name.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a timeout to gh subprocess calls.

gh() calls subprocess.run with no timeout. This helper serves poll_run, issue_comments, pr_comments, and every comment write. If one gh call hangs, the job blocks until the workflow timeout. The main-regression-bisect concurrency group does not cancel in-progress runs, so every 15-minute invocation waits behind the hung job. dispatch_run already uses DISPATCH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, so apply the same approach here.

The existing handlers catch only CalledProcessError. If the timeout re-raises as CalledProcessError, those handlers treat a timeout like any other failed call: poll_run answers "pending", and the write loop records the failure and continues.

This follows the retrieved learning: flag subprocess.run() calls with no timeout, and handle subprocess.TimeoutExpired.

Make this test actually return "absent" during the bisect.

Tracing the bisect shows this test never reaches the absent → pass branch in record_result. The window is [PREV, C[0]..C[6]], and the bisect probes C[2], C[4], and C[5]. The fixture returns "absent" only for C[0] and C[1], and the bisect never probes either commit. So the test would still pass if record_result treated "absent" as "error" during a bisect.

To fix this, add the test at a later commit so that a midpoint probe returns "absent". Then assert that the probe happened.

This follows the retrieved learning: tests should exercise real logic paths, not just confirm that code runs.

- Cache job logs per run attempt, and look the attempt up first, so a rerun
  of a compile-failed probe is read fresh instead of the cached failure.
- Read a cancelled job's log: a job timeout reports as cancelled and still
  carries partial results. Only a skipped or never-started job is an error.
- Save state after every dispatch and merge probes other invocations added,
  written atomically, so a failed dispatch or a long `status --wait` cannot
  orphan branches.
- Check range endpoints against first-parent history, and space `--points`
  probes evenly instead of rounding the step down.
- `next` steps past a midpoint that answered nothing for the test instead
  of reporting the window closed.
- `adopt` keeps an existing probe's branch; `cleanup` keeps state when a
  branch deletion fails; `start --force` names the branches it leaves.
- "broken by" only names a watched commit; counts say "watched commits".
- Skill: #14510 for app-host bisects, branch naming, INCOMPLETE meaning, and
  `--patch` needs its own `--bisect` name.

* ci: bisect package test failures across main's history, with a skill

PR CI runs selected package tests, so the full CmuxMobileShell suite drifted
red on main without anyone noticing. Finding which PR broke each test meant
hand-building overlay branches (old commits carry CI scripts that no longer
run), dispatching test-ios.yml, scraping logs and diffing failure sets.

scripts/ci/package_bisect.py does that loop: `start` pushes probe branches
(an old commit's tree with today's iOS CI files and no lint gate) and
dispatches the package suite on runner `auto`; `status` prints a per-test
matrix with break, fix and flaky verdicts; `next` dispatches midpoints that
split each break window; `adopt` counts existing runs; `cleanup` deletes the
branches. The cmux-test-bisect skill covers when to use it, how to read the
matrix, and how to decide stale test vs regression.

* ci: package bisect counts only tests that ran, and can patch probes

Probes older than #14012 hang in the serial CmuxMobileShell run, so tests
after the hang never execute. Counting their silence as a pass made 14
tests look broken by the commit that fixed the hang.

- Record passes as well as failures; a test that never ran at a probe is
  unknown (`-`), and a probe with no "Test run with" summary is INCOMPLETE.
- `start --patch <sha>` applies a known fix to every probe, and
  `--bisect <name>` keeps that experiment beside the first.
- Cache finished job logs, so `status --refetch` re-parses without spending
  the shared REST budget, and skip a run the API refuses instead of aborting.

* ci: package bisect review fixes

- SKILL.md and the docstring put --package/--bisect before the subcommand;
  the old 'start --bisect ...' form fails in argparse.
- cleanup deletes only the probe branches still on the remote, so a rerun
  after a partial cleanup finishes.
- dispatch looks the run up when 'gh workflow run' prints no URL, instead of
  leaving a probe pending forever.
- adopt checks the run's head and keeps the adopted run over a newer one.
- start rejects a reversed GOOD..BAD range; drop_lint_gate exits cleanly when
  the job is missing.
- workflow_guard_groups routes package_bisect.py to the ci guard group.
