Summary

PR media is slow and compiles too often. Over the last 60 pr-media runs:

  • Every CI-triggered run held a hosted runner in "Pick tours" while CI built: 38 plans, median 749 s, 8.6 runner-hours in total. 33 of them ended with nothing to tour.
  • Of 12 tour jobs, 1 adopted CI's build and posted media. 1 compiled its own app (1018 s, and it left no frames). 4 waited about 500 s to learn CI had no build. 5 were cancelled after 750 to 2900 s.

This PR changes the following:

  • Adopt only. A tour loads the build CI made for the PR, on the pool that compiled it (run-e2e.sh --adopt-only). When CI reused main's build, the tour loads main's build: --adopt-main dispatches the merge CI tested with require_adopted_product, so test-e2e.yml adopts main's product of those inputs or fails. Media never compiles on its own. A build the UI test Macs cannot load gets a skipped: note, and only -f allow_compile=true compiles.
  • Start when CI completes. The workflow triggers on CI completed instead of requested, so nothing holds a runner while CI builds. Once CI is done the plan reads finished jobs, and a tour waits only for its own run. A manual dispatch while CI is still running leaves media to that run's completion.
  • Every app PR, not only dev-build ones. The gate no longer waits for the opt-in dogfood job. Publish posts the sticky comment itself, and a dogfood comment for an older head no longer holds media back. A PR whose changed files reach no app input gets no media section.
  • The docs in skills/cmux-testing and the workflow header are updated to match.

Testing

  • python3 -m unittest tests.test_ci_pr_media: 64 tests. New cases:
    • adopt only: no compile on an unloadable build or a refusal, for both CI's build and main's
    • a tour of main's build dispatches the merge
    • a manual dispatch while CI runs
    • a stale dogfood comment
    • the gate with the dogfood job skipped
  • python3 -m unittest tests.test_run_e2e -k adopt: --adopt-main dispatches with require_adopted_product, and it is refused without --adopt-only.
  • actionlint passes.
  • pr-media.yml runs its scripts from the default branch, so the end-to-end check runs after merge on the next app PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Workflow Updates
    • Media tours now run after CI completes and use the pull request’s CI build, or the matching main build when CI reuses it.
    • Pull requests without tour-visible changes are skipped unless a tour is explicitly requested.
    • Tours are skipped with a reason when no usable build is available; they no longer fall back to compiling automatically. Manual media dispatch can still enable compilation.
    • Updated guidance explains build selection and the manual compilation option.

#15380 made the dogfood build job opt-in, and the media gate waited for
its success, so only labelled pull requests got media. The gate now
waits for the dogfood job only when it runs (it rewrites the sticky
comment) and otherwise decides on the app build alone; publish posts the
sticky comment itself and updates a media-only comment for a new head. A
pull request that changes nothing a tour shows gets no media section.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The media workflow now starts after a CI run completes. It selects the CI build or main’s build for tours, with compilation limited to manual dispatches that enable it. Tour adoption failures are recorded as skips, and media comments can update for the current PR head.

Changes

PR media build adoption

Layer / File(s) Summary
CI completion and build selection
.github/workflows/pr-media.yml, scripts/ci/pr_media.py, tests/test_ci_pr_media.py, skills/cmux-testing/references/dogfood-scenarios.md
The workflow listens for completed CI runs. Planning evaluates app-build and admission status, skips planning when no tour-visible app inputs changed without an override, and selects the CI or main build. Tests cover the gate and build-selection cases.
Tour build adoption and execution
.github/workflows/pr-media.yml, .github/workflows/test-e2e.yml, scripts/ci/dispatch-focused-test.py, scripts/ci/pr_media.py, tests/test_ci_pr_media.py, tests/test_run_e2e.py, skills/cmux-testing/references/dogfood-scenarios.md
The tour job passes the merge SHA and adoption mode. --adopt-main requires --adopt-only and can proceed without a CI product source. Failed adoption records a skip rather than compiling; tests cover the dispatch and adoption outcomes.
Media comment updates
scripts/ci/pr_media.py, tests/test_ci_pr_media.py, skills/cmux-testing/references/dogfood-scenarios.md
Publishing can update the current head’s media section when an existing Dogfood-build comment names an older head. It does not post or patch if the PR head moves during publication.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ffd51

Manual media runs requesting a fresh build can show results from a different revision. Make compile mode force a head build before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ffd51

Media will run for more eligible app pull requests. Fork and current-head checks remain, but a concurrent push could leave the shared media comment describing an older head.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: A concurrent push or comment update may allow an older media run to replace the shared comment’s section after its current-head check. Removal of the existing-comment head guard reduces protection when the comment and PR-head reads disagree.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The added execution reaches eligible same-repository app PRs rather than fork PRs. A successful run can dispatch UI tests and write media artifacts and the PR’s shared comment; the inspected workflow does not grant those writes to its planning job.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — No direct credential or fork-boundary bypass was established. The plausible integrity failure is stale media being presented in the shared PR comment if head ownership changes between publication’s read and write; its practical exploitability was not verified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Workflow conditions and planner checks constrain automatic runs to same-repository PRs. Manual compilation is selected by the workflow’s allow_compile input; normal adoption paths request an existing product and do not compile on an adoption miss.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Missing or unusable products and unfinished tour runs produce notes rather than a silent compilation fallback; the comment is updated after the publication path processes available manifests.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make shared-comment publication conditional on current head ownership, or detect a changed head after writing and promptly reconcile the comment. Cover a head change between the final read and write in concurrency tests.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 7.32% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 41 functions across 4 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR changes English user-facing rendered markdown in scripts/ci/pr_media.py. New and changed skip and retry notes are stored in tour manifests, inserted by section(), and posted or patched into GitHub PR comments through /issues/comments. These include the unloadable-build note, main-build skip note, CI re-run guidance, and missing-tour-result note. The changed files do not use a locale-specific source, and no web message catalogs are updated. The supported locale registry lists 21 locales in web/i18n/routing.ts. Tests and operational documentation do not remove this production rendered-markdown violation.

Resolution

Route the changed PR-comment text through a locale-specific message source and provide matching translations for every locale in web/i18n/routing.ts and its corresponding web/messages/ entries. Apply this to all changed skip, retry, build-adoption, and missing-result messages. Alternatively, avoid materially changing the rendered user-facing English text.

CI failure attribution

CI passes on 28caf7cf73 (run 36454758994 attempt 1).

Written by scripts/ci/classify_failures.py (ci-failure-attribution.yml); signatures are its SIGNATURES table. A machine verdict is the runner's fault, not this PR's.

Tours never compile on their own any more: each adopts the build CI made
for the pull request on the pool that compiled it, or main's build of the
same inputs when CI reused it (dispatch-focused-test.py --adopt-main, which
lets test-e2e.yml adopt main's product and fail rather than compile). A
build the UI test Macs cannot load gets a skip note; only a manual
allow_compile dispatch compiles.

The workflow starts when the CI run completes instead of when it is
requested, so the planner no longer holds a runner while CI builds. A
dogfood comment naming an older head no longer holds media back.

- A tour of main's build dispatches the merge CI tested, so test-e2e.yml
  looks main's product up by the inputs CI matched, not the head's.
- A manual dispatch while CI still runs leaves media to the completed run.
- Skip notes say how to retry now that nothing retries by itself.
- Pin include-hidden-files: false on the media upload.
- Drop stale compile comments; test the --adopt-main parser guard.

Subagent review at 28caf7c: no blocking bugs; changes requested. Findings:

  • (MEDIUM) a tour of main's build dispatched the head, while CI had matched main's product to the merge it tested; a head behind main could miss main's current product.
  • (MEDIUM) a manual dispatch while CI still ran could outlast the shortened plan and tour timeouts.
  • (LOW) stale compile comments and help text; skip notes promised an automatic retry that no longer happens; test gaps (the --adopt-main parser guard, the main's-build skip note, merge_sha for main's build).
  • (LOW, open) the dogfood link of an older push can sit above fresh media when the dev-build label is removed; the media header names its own SHA, so left as is.
  • (LOW, risk) a tour of main's build is not pinned to a pool that holds main's product; to be checked from the first real run's miss reasons.
    Addressed in ffd51f0 (merge dispatch, manual dispatch defers to the completed run, notes, comments, tests). Earlier review at 8918c70 flagged the stale-dogfood deferral as blocking; addressed in 28caf7c.

Make COMPILE_NOW compile the requested head.

If a manual dispatch sets allow_compile=true and a usable CI product exists, this command still lets scripts/ci/dispatch-focused-test.py select that product and change the dispatched revision to the CI merge. .github/workflows/test-e2e.yml can then restore the product instead of compiling. The manifest nevertheless records compiled: true and omits build_sha. Pass an explicit compile-only choice through the dispatcher and workflow, and record compiled only when compilation occurs.
