Why

At 18:55Z on 09-27, 100 of 108 distance-picker candidates scored rebuild. Every root held another pull request's build. Once that pull request changes a package interface, starting from its build is a rebuild for every other pull request. Main builds from idle warming were overwritten by the next admission.

Change

On a mini with more than one canonical root, the root that keeps the mini's only main build stays at main (owned_build_state.py holds_last_main).

  • keep of a pull request there moves the new build into its PR slot (pr-builds/pr-<n>) instead of replacing main. It returns kept=parked, so warm_distance does not stamp the pull request's files onto main's stamp.
  • That pull request's next push adopts from its slot: check outputs adopt_from, and the adopt and start-stamp steps use it. The main build stays in place.
  • distance_route() ranks a root by the job's parked build over a main build as well.
  • Nothing else changes. Main's own keeps (dispatch, idle warming) always replace, a single-root mini behaves as before, and a mini with two main roots lets a pull request replace one of them.

glaeda-idle-warm keeps that root on main's head: it reacts to pushes within about a minute, runs while non-compile jobs run, and refreshes the main root first (teamleaderleo/glaeda#1326).

Tests

tests/test_ci_owned_build_state.py:

  • the last main root parks a pull request and publishes parked
  • a second main root allows replacement
  • single-root minis are unchanged
  • adopt_from over a main root

tests/test_ci_warm_distance.py: routing ranks a parked build over a main root.

Targeted -k runs pass locally.

Summary by cubic

Keeps one root per multi-root mini at main so pull request builds stop evicting the logged main build. Previously every root held another PR's build; once that PR changed a package interface, every other PR rebuilt from it, and main builds from idle warming were overwritten by the next admission.

On a mini with more than one root, the root that keeps the mini's only main build stays at main:

  • keep of a pull request there parks the build in its PR slot (pr-builds/pr-<n>) with a stamped record and returns kept=parked, so warm distance doesn't stamp it onto main; an oversized slot is dropped for the main build.
  • That PR's next push adopts from its slot: check outputs adopt_from, and the prefer, adopt, and start-stamp steps use it.
  • Keeps across a mini's roots are serialized by a lock (.keep.lock) so two concurrent keeps can't both replace main, each thinking the other keeps it; the replaced build is deleted after the lock releases.
  • distance_route() ranks a root by the job's parked build over a main build too.
  • Main's own keeps (dispatch, idle warming) still replace, single-root minis behave as before, and a mini with two main roots lets a PR replace one of them.

Tests cover the parking behavior, second-main-root replacement, single-root minis, oversized-slot fallback, and adopt_from routing.

Written for commit ecbc6b5. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • CI Improvements
    • On multi-root build machines, pull-request builds can be kept alongside the machine’s only main build instead of replacing it.
    • Subsequent runs can reuse a matching parked pull-request build while leaving the main build in place. If no suitable parked build is available, they fall back to the main build.
    • Other pull requests can start from the main build, and build routing takes matching parked builds into account.
    • When main changes, idle refreshes prioritize the root holding the only main build.

…ds there

At 18:55Z on 09-27, 100 of 108 distance-picker candidates were rebuild. Every
root held another pull request's build, which is a rebuild for everyone once
that pull request changed a package interface. On a mini with more than one
root, the root keeping the mini's only main build now stays at main: `keep`
moves a pull request's build into its PR slot instead of replacing main,
and that pull request's next push adopts from the slot (`check` outputs
`adopt_from`; adopt and the start-stamp record use it). Routing ranks a root
by the job's parked build over a main build too. glaeda-idle-warm keeps the
main root at main's head (teamleaderleo/glaeda#1326).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI state manager now preserves a mini’s only main build while parking pull-request builds. Matching parked builds can be selected for adoption and used in warm-distance routing.

Changes

Pull-request build state

Layer / File(s) Summary
Main-build retention and PR slots
scripts/ci/owned_build_state.py, tests/test_ci_owned_build_state.py
The state manager detects when a root holds its mini’s only main build. It parks an incoming pull-request build instead of replacing main. Tests cover this case and cases where another root, or no other root, holds main.
Parked-build selection and workflow adoption
scripts/ci/owned_build_state.py, .github/workflows/ci-macos.yml, tests/test_ci_owned_build_state.py
When the root holds the only main build, check selects a matching parked PR build for adoption. The workflow uses the selected path for seed preference, DerivedData adoption, and warm-start stamp recording. Tests cover direct adoption and fallback cases.
Parked-build routing and documentation
scripts/ci/warm_distance.py, tests/test_ci_warm_distance.py, docs/ci-runners.md
Admission stamps parked PR slots. Distance routing recalculates a root’s cost from a matching parked build, including on a main-stamped root. The test and documentation describe routing when a root keeps the only main build.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ecbc6

A PR can lose its parked-build warm start after main is refreshed with a different fingerprint. The adoption condition should be corrected before merging unless that CI slowdown is explicitly accepted.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ecbc6

Shared build reuse has a meaningful state-lifecycle risk: routing can favor a parked pull-request build that the receiving job cannot adopt after the main build’s fingerprint changes. No security breach is confirmed, but the reuse and recovery paths warrant design review.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Routing may select a root for its parked PR build even though a changed main fingerprint prevents the job from adopting that build. The PR slot remains present but unusable through that check path, undermining the new parked-build ownership and reuse behavior.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The relevant exposure is build-state reuse among jobs admitted to the same persistent mini, rather than a newly identified external service or data-store permission.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new direct-adoption path selects a PR-numbered slot only when its stamp matches the requested fingerprint, then passes the selected local path to the workflow. The inspected evidence does not establish artifact provenance or runner-level isolation beyond those selection checks.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Select a matching parked build even when main has another fingerprint.

If this root retains a main build with fingerprint A and parks this PR’s build with fingerprint B, main_build(store, fingerprint) is false on the PR’s next push. unpark then refuses to replace main, so the job misses its valid parked build and starts cold again. Test whether the root holds any current main build before selecting a matching slot; usable_slot already checks fingerprint B.

Proposed change
-            if main_build(store, fingerprint):
+            if main_build(store):
                 adopt_from = usable_slot(store, pr_number, fingerprint)
