ci: place the Iroh release gate's Tailscale job on the owned minis - #15139
Merged
Merged
Conversation
iroh-release-gate.yml gets a Linux `runner` job that runs e2e_runner_pool.py on attempt 1 of a trusted ref. When it names an owned label (a machine free now, no queue rounds), `Tailscale version-skew compatibility` takes it with the lane's Xcode pin and holds the gui token for its app-host tests; anything else, or a failed pick, keeps the Blacksmith macOS 15 expression. The run uploads the owned markers, and the rescue sweeper and queue janitor now know the workflow. simulator-e2e stays on Blacksmith: it writes staging or production secrets to $HOME and changes shared user state and the console session.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to An owned release-gate job could remain queued without rescue. Require a successful marker upload before selecting the owned runner, and correct the conflicting routing documentation before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The owned-runner route is gated, and production credentials remain on hosted runners. However, an owned-job failure can interrupt the separate simulator verification, while a missing pool marker can leave the owned job without automatic rescue. Retained concerns

- Line 171: Update the `runs-on` expression to use `needs.runner.outputs.label`

file is missing.

GitHub Actions official documentation job outputs available when a needed job fails needs.result conditional expression
💡 Result:
Yes. A dependent job can read a needed job’s outputs and result—even if that job failed—provided the dependent job is allowed to run.
```yaml
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
outputs:
value: ${{ steps.set.outputs.value }}
steps:
- id: set
run: echo "value=hello" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
- run: exit 1
report:
needs: build
if: ${{ always() }}
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- run: |
echo "result=${{ needs.build.result }}"
echo "value=${{ needs.build.outputs.value }}"
```
`needs.<job_id>.result` reports `success`, `failure`, `cancelled`, or `skipped`; outputs are accessed as `needs.<job_id>.outputs.<output_name>`. Without a condition such as `always()`, a job that needs a failed job is skipped by default. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/write-workflows/choose-what-workflows-do/pass-job-outputs?utm_source=openai))
**Caveat:** outputs set by steps that ran before the failure may be available. But if the job never reaches the step that sets an output, that output will be empty/unset. Define job outputs by mapping them from step outputs. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/write-workflows/choose-what-workflows-do/pass-job-outputs?utm_source=openai))

Require the watch marker before using an owned runner.
If marker creation or the watch upload fails, continue-on-error can leave runner failed or successful without an owned-pool-watch artifact. The rescue sweeper then cannot discover the queued owned job.
A failed job can still expose outputs produced before the failure. Therefore, making the upload mandatory alone does not guarantee Blacksmith fallback. Require needs.runner.result == 'success' before using the owned label.

Remove the conflicting version-skew row.
This row says tailscale-version-skew can use an owned Mac. Line 770 of docs/ci-runners.md still says Iroh version skew stays on Blacksmith macOS 15. Remove or update the older row so the table gives one routing policy.

What
The Iroh release gate's two macOS jobs always took Blacksmith macOS 15, even while owned minis had free runners. This routes
Tailscale version-skew compatibilityto an owned Mac through a picker;simulator-e2estays on Blacksmith (reasons below).How
iroh-release-gate.ymlgets a Linuxrunnerjob, like test-e2e.yml's: on attempt 1 of a trusted ref (resolve-dispatch-ref.yml'strusted_ref) withCI_PR_POOL_OWNED == '1', it runsscripts/ci/e2e_runner_pool.py(live owned runners through the routing App token when it mints) with no queue rounds, so it names an owned label only while a machine is free now. It outputslabelonly for aglaeda-*pick; any other answer, a skipped pick or a failure is empty.tailscale-version-skewruns-on:github.run_attempt == 1 && needs.runner.outputs.label || <the old Blacksmith macOS 15 expression>. It runsif: !cancelled() && needs.resolve-ref.result == 'success', so a failedrunnerjob still falls back to Blacksmith. On an owned pickCMUX_CI_XCODE_APPfollowsCMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_PR(the minis carry only that Xcode). Its EXEMPT entry in the Xcode-pin guard is gone, since the pin now follows the lane.glaeda-canonical-root take-gui, as in app-host-unit-tests and test-e2e'stest) before the gate's app-host tests. It is a no-op on Blacksmith.runnerjob uploads the samemacos-pool-persistent-...-1-<label>andowned-pool-watchmarkers.queue_janitor.OWNED_DISPATCH_WORKFLOWSandowned_pool_rescue.DISPATCH_WORKFLOW_PATHSnow include the workflow. A stuck or refused owned job is re-run as attempt 2, which takes Blacksmith.IrohReleaseGateWiring(runs-on, Xcode pin, fallback, trust gate, janitor), plus a rescue target case. docs/ci-runners.md table rows.Constraints checked
Why macOS 15? No job needs it. The Blacksmith macOS 15 image with
CMUX_CI_XCODE_APP_MACOS_15(Xcode 26.3) was the default lane when the workflow was written. The Tailscale job already setsCMUX_CI_REQUIRED_MACOS_SDK_MAJOR: 26, so it wants an SDK 26 Xcode, which the minis have (the lane pin, 26.6). It needs no iOS simulator, no network privileges and no Tailscale install:run-iroh-tailscale-compatibility-gate.shruns 4cmuxTests/IrohTailscaleVersionSkewMacGateTestsapp-host tests (DerivedData in$RUNNER_TEMP) and 9 filteredswift tests from three packages (scratch in$RUNNER_TEMP). It uses no secrets. The checkout keepspersist-credentials: false.simulator-e2e does not move. It writes the staging account, or the production Stack server key, into
$HOME. It builds into the shared~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData, writes the tagged app's defaults and keychain items, launches the Mac app and boots a simulator in the console session, and runs for up to 2 hours. docs/ci-runners.md keeps jobs with secrets off the owned Macs. glaeda's hook keepsios-streamed-validate'svalidate, which has the same shape, on Blacksmith.

An unknown cmux job is admitted ascompile, pinned to root 1: it gets 2 units plus the persistent-DerivedData and root-1 tokens, and no gui token. test-e2e used the same arrangement before it had a class ("glaeda gives an E2E job, which it does not know, the mini's root token"). So the picker's root label (glaeda-root-<class>-xcode-<version>) is the right one. That class is safe but broader than needed, because the job never touches the canonical root. The take-gui step covers the one gap, the shared console session and testmanagerd. Follow-up for glaeda: class("iroh-release-gate.yml", "tailscale-version-skew")asgui(on a two-root mini that is the gui token and 1 unit, no root). The take-gui step then returns 0 at once.Label. The picker returns the root label of the first owned pool with a free machine (std, then light), because the job holds a root token. It is not the side label (side runners never hold root tokens) and not
glaeda-ios-sim(no simulator).Rescue trade-off. simulator-e2e runs in the same run, so a rescue can affect it. If the owned Tailscale job is stuck, the rescue cancels the run, simulator-e2e included, and re-runs the failed and cancelled jobs on Blacksmith. If the job is refused, the rescue waits for the run to finish, up to the 150-minute watch. The picker takes an owned Mac only while one is idle, so stuck jobs should be rare.
