On 2026-09-25 (08:30 to 22:50Z), Blacksmith ran about 35.6k macOS job-min. The PR picker sent 11.2k of those off the owned pool while owned runners sat idle: 12.7k idle unit-min overlapped Blacksmith work.

Change (scripts/ci/pr_runner_pool.py)

  • Fleet first, Blacksmith as overflow. An owned pool now takes a run while its jobs start within CI_PR_POOL_QUEUE_ROUNDS job lengths. Blacksmith's expected wait no longer matters. Before, the allowance was capped at that wait, which comes from a snapshot up to 45 min old. It read 0 whenever a Blacksmith pool had looked free, so minis that were busy for a few minutes lost the run ("0 of 19 root runners free": 2.5k min). Blacksmith's wait still appears in the reason text.
  • Live runners decide, and in-flight peaks are only the fallback. With the route App token, a label is charged only for what holds it now: busy runners, the live window's runs, and, where no runner is idle, the janitor's queue plus one job for each older run. committed and the markers' peaks for jobs that don't exist yet no longer fill the queue bound ("every pool full" at in-flight peaks: 2.6k min). Without the runners API, the old accounting still applies. Routed now counts runs per pool (owned_runs) for this.
  • A missing or stale snapshot no longer skips the fleet. On attempt 1 with live runners, a failed download (the R2 503) or a stale or missing snapshot now lets the live runners decide the owned pools. Blacksmith's queues are treated as unknown, and the reason and step summary say so. Before, the picker took the default route (2.8k + 0.6k min). Forks and retries are unchanged.
  • The iOS docstring now matches. E2E and iOS share pick(), so they get fleet-first too. The E2E docstring sentence will follow after ci: E2E counts idle owned Macs live instead of from the snapshot #14584 lands, to avoid a conflict with it.

Replay on real runs from 2026-09-25

changes job logs and the janitor snapshots they read. Old = upstream/main, which reproduces the logged pick where the log's inputs are complete.

run needs (machines/root) live idle std, root old (upstream) new
36169149015 17:47Z 10/9 full suite 0/40, 0/18 claude-wrapper owned; admission, 7 shards, lag, cli-product to Blacksmith all 11 jobs owned
36172350539 18:18Z 10/9 full suite 0/40, 0/18 same as above all 11 jobs owned

36192259117 21:34Z 10/8 16/42, 7/19 admission, shard-1, 2 side lanes owned; 7 jobs to Blacksmith all owned
36181629965, 36182207707 3/2 idle all owned all owned (unchanged)

With the same inputs and a snapshot download that failed with 503, old takes the default route (Blacksmith 6vcpu) and new keeps every job on the owned pool.

Replay of the ci-dash "kept off idle roots" runs (2026-09-26, 01:09 to 01:22Z)

ci-dash listed 22 attempt-1 PR runs that the picker placed on Blacksmith while std runners were idle (20 to 27 of 42). Upstream reproduces 19 of the 22 logged picks. Across them:

  • Blacksmith jobs drop from 111 to 35.
  • 17 runs move entirely to owned minis, and 3 more move partly.
  • Most were "least expected wait" picks after replaying a burst of about 26 newer runs, with the root queue at 16.
  • A few of the flipped runs take the light tier, because std's root queue is full within its rounds.

Review follow-ups (second commit)

  • Queue bound read live: it counts the peaks of the runs of the last 10 minutes (DEFAULT_JOB_MINUTES) that took the pool, because their shards are on the way. Only runs of the last 3 minutes count toward the wait. Without this there is no queue signal when no snapshot exists.
  • Live-only overflow: with no snapshot, a run that no owned pool takes keeps every job's default route. Before this, it went to the first Blacksmith pool, whose queue is unknown.
  • Warm keys: a stale snapshot's warm keys are kept for warm affinity.
  • Docs: docs/ci-runners.md no longer says the owned rule waits on Blacksmith's.

Tests

  • tests/test_ci_pr_runner_pool.py: 197 pass. Four tests are updated to fleet-first. The new LiveIdleRunners class covers: committed peaks ignored live but kept as the fallback, a 503 or a stale or missing snapshot, retries and forks unchanged, the step summary, and run counting.
  • Also passing: test_run_e2e, test_ci_owned_pool_rescue, test_ci_queue_janitor, test_ci_fork_runner_routing, test_runner_label_policy, test_ci_owned_warm_state, and scripts/ci/guards-local.sh.

The kill switch is CI_PR_POOL_QUEUE_ROUNDS=0 (the old rule). Part of manaflow-ai/cmuxterm-hq#661.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • CI runs can use owned runner pools when they fit the configured queue allowance, independently of the expected wait on hosted runners. The queue limit remains based on pool size and configured rounds.
    • Runner selection can use live capacity when available. Missing, outdated, or unreadable capacity snapshots no longer prevent a run from being considered for an owned pool.
    • Recent run activity is included in queue estimates, and default routing is preserved when no owned pool is selected.
  • Documentation
    • Updated guidance on owned-pool selection and queue limits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Owned-pool placement now uses configured queue-round limits independently of Blacksmith’s expected wait. Live runner capacity and recent run counts inform queue admission. Eligible same-repository runs can use live capacity when the janitor snapshot is missing, stale, or unreadable.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to df289

A malformed janitor snapshot can cause a routing run to fail even when live runner data is available. Validate pool entries before relying on the fallback; this is a bounded issue rather than a broad routing failure.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to df289

Fleet-first routing retains the fork restriction, but its new snapshot-free path can underestimate work already queued on owned machines. That could extend CI waits and cause avoidable rescue and retry activity. An actual production over-admission was not established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: Snapshot-free routing can omit older queued admissions from the owned-pool queue bound. When all runners are busy, this may place further runs on a persistent pool beyond its configured allowance, increasing waits and reliance on rescue.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed preference can increase same-repository PR work on persistent owned Macs and its shared queue. The observed fork gate prevents extending that placement to fork-authored runs; no broader credential or tenant exposure was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The privileged runner-listing token is produced under a same-repository PR or main-dispatch condition; owned routing separately checks repository identity, event and retry conditions. Listing failure falls back to snapshot-based routing.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Under-counting a persistent pool’s queue would weaken its wait-time containment and increase dependence on the marker-based rescue path, rather than bypassing the fork or credential boundary.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — When a snapshot cannot supply queue history, conservatively account for older eligible runs or retain the default route if their queued state cannot be bounded before admitting more owned work.

🟡 Minor · Reject timezone-less generated_at values before age arithmetic. · pr_runner_pool.py:980-991

scripts/ci/pr_runner_pool.py:980-991
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject timezone-less generated_at values before age arithmetic.

parse_time() accepts "2026-09-24T11:55:00" as a timezone-less datetime. snapshot_age_minutes() then subtracts it from the timezone-aware now, which raises TypeError. This exception escapes snapshot_problem() before the live fallback can select an owned pool.

Suggested fix
 def snapshot_age_minutes(snapshot: Mapping[str, Any], now: dt.datetime) -> float | None:
     generated = parse_time(str(snapshot.get("generated_at") or ""))
-    if generated is None:
+    if generated is None or generated.tzinfo is None:
         return None
     return (now - generated).total_seconds() / 60

Exclude pre-snapshot runs from the recent peak charge.

A marked run created before the snapshot can remain in the snapshot queue and also enter recent.owned. When no owned runner is idle, both charges affect owned_room.

For example, with capacity 4, one snapshot-queued job, one queue round, and an overlapping marked run with peak 2:

  • busy = 4 + 1 = 5
  • wait = 4 + 4 - 5 - 0 = 3
  • bound = 4 * 2 - 5 - 2 = 1

A two-job request fails room >= jobs even though the bound is 3 when the overlapping peak is removed. The wait allowance is not the cause.

Limit the recent query to runs created after the snapshot. This keeps post-snapshot peak and live-window accounting.

Suggested fix
-            recent = count_routed(iso(now - dt.timedelta(minutes=DEFAULT_JOB_MINUTES)))
+            recent_since = now - dt.timedelta(minutes=DEFAULT_JOB_MINUTES)
+            generated = parse_time(str(snapshot.get("generated_at") or ""))
+            if generated is not None:
+                recent_since = max(recent_since, generated)

🟡 Minor · Reject malformed pool entries before live routing. · pr_runner_pool.py:982-993

scripts/ci/pr_runner_pool.py:982-993
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject malformed pool entries before live routing.

A fresh snapshot with pools["blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-26"] = ["invalid"] passes snapshot_problem(). live_pools() does not rewrite this Blacksmith entry. pool() then calls .get() on the list. decide() returns a malformed-snapshot choice, and summary() can raise AttributeError while describing the same entry. The run can fail instead of taking the live-only route.

Suggested fix
-    if not isinstance(snapshot.get("pools"), Mapping):
+    pools = snapshot.get("pools")
+    if (not isinstance(pools, Mapping)
+            or any(not isinstance(entry, Mapping) for entry in pools.values())):

The PR macOS pool picker sent about 11k Blacksmith job-min a day off the
owned fleet (2026-09-25, 08:30 to 22:50Z) while owned runners sat idle:

- An owned pool could queue only as long as Blacksmith's expected wait,
  read from a snapshot up to 45 minutes old. Any Blacksmith pool that had
  looked free made that wait 0, so a run skipped minis busy for a few
  minutes ("0 of 19 root runners free").
- With the runners read live, the queue bound still charged every
  in-flight run's peak (the janitor's `committed` and the markers' peaks
  since the snapshot), jobs that do not exist yet and hold no runner.
- A snapshot that failed to download (HTTP 503) or went stale skipped the
  fleet entirely, although the runners API had just said who was idle.

Now an owned pool takes the run while its jobs start within
CI_PR_POOL_QUEUE_ROUNDS job lengths, whatever Blacksmith's wait
(Blacksmith is overflow). Read live, a label is charged only what holds
it now: busy runners, the janitor's queue and one job per older run where
no runner is idle, and the live window's runs; committed peaks are the
fallback without the runners API. Attempt 1 with live runners decides
without the snapshot when it is missing or stale, Blacksmith's queues
then counting as unknown.

… when no owned pool fits live-only

Review follow-ups on the picker change:
- Read live, the runs of the last DEFAULT_JOB_MINUTES that took an owned
  pool count their peaks toward the queue bound (their shards are coming),
  while only those of the last LIVE_WINDOW_MINUTES hold machines toward
  the wait. Without a snapshot there is no queue signal otherwise.
- With no snapshot, a run no owned pool takes keeps every job's default
  route instead of the first Blacksmith pool, whose queue is unknown.
- A stale snapshot's warm keys are kept for warm affinity.
- docs/ci-runners.md: the owned rule no longer waits on Blacksmith's.

…jobs twice in the bound

Second review pass on the live path:
- A run 3 to 10 minutes old whose route was not looked up (past
  ROUTE_LOOKUPS) was replayed and charged 3 jobs on top of the runners
  that already show its jobs busy. Only the live window's unknown runs are
  replayed now (Routed.live_unknown); older ones count on Blacksmith, as
  before.
- The bound charged a young run's whole peak while the runners also
  counted the jobs it already held. It now charges the peak less those.
- live_pools()'s docstring says what the bound counts.

After-merge measurement (fleet-first picker, merged 02:17Z)

Source: the build controller's webhook feed (workflow_job deliveries, no GitHub API calls), read at 04:42Z on 09-26. Population: attempt 1 of in-repository pull_request CI runs, macOS 26 jobs only (glaeda-* or *-macos-26 labels; macOS 15 jobs have no owned pool and are left out), jobs that actually ran. A run is placed in a window by its first job's creation time.

before (runs from 00:45 to 02:17Z) after (runs from 02:17 to 04:00Z)
runs 144 60
runs with any Blacksmith macOS 26 job 54 (38%) 2 (3%)
jobs on owned / Blacksmith 234 / 167 (58.4% owned) 132 / 12 (91.7% owned)
job-minutes on owned / Blacksmith 1,206 / 942 (56.2% owned) 613 / 77 (88.9% owned)
Blacksmith job-minutes per run 6.5 1.3
queue wait of these jobs, p50 / p90 200 s / 2,565 s 17 s / 340 s
owned jobs' queue wait, p50 / p90 12 s / 390 s 4 s / 200 s

Caveats:

  • The windows are not load-matched. PR volume was about 94 runs an hour before and about 35 an hour after. The fleet was about as busy in both (ci-dash utilization: owned runners busy 23.4 of 37.9 online before, 21.2 of 39.2 after), so the minis had similar spare room, but a lighter PR load is easier to place either way.
  • The controller turned away about 2,860 deliveries between 09-25 21:30 and 09-26 03:40Z (hq#734). 1,139 failed completion deliveries were redelivered by hand. Jobs whose completion never arrived are missing from both windows.
  • Fleet-wide Blacksmith macOS time did not fall by the same share: attempt 3 re-runs (Blacksmith by rule) took 260 min before and 540 min after, because the sweeper that stops cancelling siblings (ci: let a refused owned job's siblings finish instead of cancelling them #14766) only started at 04:02Z.
  • The replay numbers in the PR body (111 to 35 Blacksmith jobs) are a model and are not what this measures.

A daytime, load-matched comparison against 09-25 (35.6k Blacksmith macOS job-min from 08:30 to 22:50Z, in the PR body) is still open.
