fix(ci): isolate AWS owned runner pool labels

[teamleaderleo]

AWS Macs must not be implicit members of the minis pool. Their glaeda-aws-* labels are now a separate family, and the picker only considers owned labels explicitly listed in CI_OWNED_POOL_SLOTS; ordinary glaeda-std-* workflows, retries, and shard lanes cannot land on AWS by label discovery. AWS root, side, and GUI outputs preserve the namespace.

The owned-pool ordering now compares dotted Xcode versions numerically, so 26.10 follows 26.6. Unnamespaced minis win a same-version tie, with namespaced pools selected only when configured.

Validation: python3 -m unittest tests.test_ci_simple_pool_picker (19 tests).

Summary by cubic

Prevents AWS-owned Macs from being implicitly treated as members of the minis pool. glaeda-aws-* labels now form a separate namespace, and only labels explicitly listed in CI_OWNED_POOL_SLOTS are candidates, so normal workflows, retries, and shard lanes can't land on AWS by label discovery.

• Owned-pool ordering compares dotted Xcode versions numerically (26.10 follows 26.6); unnamespaced minis win same-version ties.
• AWS root, side, and GUI labels keep the aws- namespace; namespaced role labels are rejected as pool names or slot entries.
• Queued AWS jobs only reduce AWS pool capacity, and the chosen pool's Xcode app path is derived from its label's embedded version when it differs from the configured default.
• AWS admission jobs carrying Xcode 26.3 rerun on the macOS 15 product runner, whose toolchain matches AWS's compile image.

^{Written for commit 8f986d8. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • CI can select explicitly configured AWS pools and generate matching AWS-prefixed runner labels.
  • AWS-prefixed labels are supported across pool roles and runner matching, including macOS product runner selection.
  • Pools are ordered by class and numeric Xcode version, with standard pools preferred when versions match.
  • For owned pools, CI uses the Xcode app indicated by the label when its version differs from the configured app.
• Bug Fixes
  • AWS-labeled runners are not considered pool choices unless explicitly configured.
  • Queued jobs reduce capacity only for their matching pool family.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Owned pool selection and CI runner-label handling now support an optional AWS namespace. The picker orders pools by numeric Xcode version, selects candidates from configured slots, and preserves the namespace in generated role labels. AWS Xcode 26.3 admission jobs select the macOS 15 runner.

Changes

Owned pool labels

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Parse and select configured pools scripts/ci/simple_pool_picker.py, tests/test_ci_simple_pool_picker.py	Owned labels support an optional AWS namespace. Pool ordering compares numeric Xcode versions and places local labels before AWS labels on ties. Candidates come only from CI_OWNED_POOL_SLOTS, and the picker derives the Xcode app path from the selected label. Tests cover selection, queue accounting, ordering, and output labels.
Generate and validate namespaced role labels scripts/ci/pr_runner_pool.py, tests/test_ci_pr_runner_pool.py	Runner-pool helpers parse namespaced roles and convert between pool, root, side, and GUI labels. Slot validation identifies runner roles from label components. Tests cover conversions and validation.
Accept AWS labels in CI checks scripts/ci/app_host_test_rerun.py, scripts/ci/dispatch-focused-test.py, scripts/ci/runner_label_policy.py, tests/test_app_host_test_rerun.py, tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, tests/test_runner_label_policy.py	Runner selection, focused-test dispatch, side-lane policy, and the fleet-runner guard accept AWS-namespaced owned labels. AWS Xcode 26.3 admission jobs select macOS 15. Tests cover runner selection, side-lane policy, pool ordering, and guard matching.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8f986

No actionable runner-routing issue remains; the PR is mergeable after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 35c18

The changes preserve explicit pool configuration and existing trust checks, and no introduced security issue was established. Effective fleet isolation still depends on AWS runner registrations and rollout configuration that were not verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated exposure is CI execution placement within configured runner pools. Source-label influence in the rerun planner is bounded to two hosted destinations; reaching the configured owned side lane additionally requires the workflow's trust conditions. The inspected changes do not demonstrate new cloud-account or secret authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — product_runner accepts a broader namespace grammar than configured pool producers, but returns only fixed Blacksmith labels. External source_repository inputs do not satisfy the same-repository condition for owned execution. This parser difference alone does not establish a new runner-authority bypass.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Rerun recovery checks workflow, repository and attempt identity, deduplicates watched attempts and bounds rescue transitions. The execution workflow limits the owned override to attempt one and schedules log collection, result upload and app-host cleanup with always-run conditions. These controls predate the PR; they do not prove cleanup after runner loss or host-level isolation between concurrent jobs.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Validate fleet registrations during rollout so AWS machines do not retain legacy mini-family labels, and verify that configured role labels remain namespace-consistent. This would substantiate physical separation beyond the logical label contract.
• proposed — Align the rerun consumer's namespace grammar with the configured producer contract, or explicitly document intentional support for additional namespaces, to reduce future reader-writer control drift.

CI fast guards passes on 8f986d844f (https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/37534854441). This covers only the fast guards, not CI: CI's result is the ci-status check, and the CI failure attribution comment names any failing test.

Passes: CI passes on 8f986d844f.

CI passes on 8f986d844f (run 37534854855 attempt 2).

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; yours means the failing file is one this PR changes, also red on main that main's latest full suite fails the same way.

[teamleaderleo]

Independent exact-head Codex subagent review: approve. Reviewed head e6d06ac27213b7217e6df7d75607c4bd0ba9c731. The namespace guards reject AWS role labels as pools, side slots are rejected correctly, and owned Xcode paths follow the label version (including AWS 26.3). Targeted picker/pool/policy tests: 91 passed; git diff --check clean.

[teamleaderleo]

The current-head ci-status failures are inherited from main, not this routing diff. Main run https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/37167923610 (commit 5f6b50cfc945bdace56b67c5f1eee42ca347ee7) fails the same localization parity and guard routing checks; guard run https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/37167910839 also fails those checks. The exact-head routing tests pass locally and the namespaced-pool changes are covered by the independent review above. I will merge only after ci-status is SUCCESS on this exact head.

[teamleaderleo]

Addressed the prior CodeRabbit docstring-coverage warning in follow-up commits: picker helpers and the nested role-label helper now have docstrings. The current exact head is e6d06ac27213b7217e6df7d75607c4bd0ba9c731; CodeRabbit has no actionable correctness comments.
