Problem

GitHub-hosted required jobs can be cancelled after waiting about 15 minutes without receiving a runner. Runs 37366561812 and 37366691578 ended this way with zero runner time and no steps, leaving CI fast guards and CLA policy guard red on #17432.

Fix

Add a trusted workflow_run rescue that runs on the Blacksmith Linux pool, recognizes only the no-runner queue-timeout shape after a 14-minute minimum, and reruns the original hosted workflow. It allows at most two retries, ignores runs that had a runner or executed steps, and never cancels an active rescue. The source workflow paths are bound so renames cannot silently disable the watcher.

The rescue only uses the Actions API and never checks out or executes pull-request code. Existing write-then-report workflows retain their non-cancelling concurrency.

Validation

  • actionlint .github/workflows/ci-hosted-queue-rescue.yml
  • python3 tests/test_ci_workflow_run_sources.py
  • python3 tests/test_ci_required_checks_are_bounded.py
  • python3 tests/test_ci_workflow_path_filter_parity.py
  • bash tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh
  • Shell fixture covering a 905-second no-runner cancellation and rerun

Summary by cubic

Adds a workflow_run rescue that reruns GitHub-hosted required jobs the Actions service cancels after ~15 minutes in queue without assigning a runner.

  • Detects only the no-runner queue-timeout shape: 14+ minute age with cancelled jobs that have no runner and no steps.
  • Allows at most two retries, ignores runs that had a runner or executed steps, and never cancels an active rescue.
  • Watches CLA policy guard, CLA Assistant, and CI fast guards; source workflow paths are bound so renames fail loudly.
  • Uses only the Actions API and never checks out or executes pull-request code.
  • Forks run the rescue on a standard ubuntu-24.04 runner instead of the internal Blacksmith pool.

Written for commit d5a9b5e. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Added automated recovery for eligible failed or cancelled pull request checks that appear stalled for at least 14 minutes.
    • Recovery is limited to runs with no active runner or completed steps, and to fewer than three attempts. Other failed or cancelled runs are left unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow_run rescue workflow for selected CLA and CI guard workflows. It filters eligible events and reruns a run only when the attempt, age, and job-state checks pass.

Changes

Hosted queue rescue

Layer / File(s) Summary
Trigger and rescue gates
.github/workflows/ci-hosted-queue-rescue.yml
Configures the workflow_run trigger, permissions, concurrency, event and repository filters, runner, and rescue job inputs.
Eligibility checks and rerun
.github/workflows/ci-hosted-queue-rescue.yml
Checks the event attempt, attempt count, run age, and job state. The workflow reruns only when all checks pass.

CI fast guards passes on d5a9b5ec79 (https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/37378899596). 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.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

workflow_run trigger risk is acceptable here; document the reason.

zizmor flags workflow_run as dangerous-triggers. The job does not check out code. The job does not run pull-request code. It uses only github.event.workflow_run.id, run_attempt, and github.repository. Both inputs are validated against ^[1-9][0-9]*$ before use. No attacker-controlled string reaches a shell. The finding is a false positive for this design.

Add a comment that states this, or add a zizmor ignore entry. This prevents the audit from failing later.

…te tokens

A workflow that produces a required check may not put paths or paths-ignore
on its pull_request, pull_request_target or merge_group trigger (#17415 did
that to backend-migrations.yml; #17432 reverted it). The required contexts
come from scripts/ci/required_status_checks.py, which now mirrors the live
`backend migrations applied` requirement.

A workflow's top-level permissions may not grant a write scope (#17447,
fixed in #17449). The 11 workflows that did now set `permissions: {}` and
carry the same grants on each job, so no job's token changes.

* ci: guard required checks against paths filters and workflow-wide write tokens

A workflow that produces a required check may not put paths or paths-ignore
on its pull_request, pull_request_target or merge_group trigger (#17415 did
that to backend-migrations.yml; #17432 reverted it). The required contexts

* ci: match the required-check mirror to the ruleset and bound backend migrations

Web complexity, ci-status and web-validation left the main ruleset on
purpose, so drop them from REQUIRED_CHECKS; the drift reconciliation now
passes against the live API. The timeout guard reads that list instead of
keeping its own copy, which puts backend-migrations.yml under it, so its
four jobs get timeout-minutes (plan 10, apply jobs 30, gate 15). The
merge-queue fixtures keep requiring Web complexity to exercise its
dynamic-name routing.

* ci: keep ci-status, web-validation and Web complexity under the timeout guard

The timeout guard now checks the required checks plus an explicit
ALWAYS_BOUNDED list of the contexts it covered before, so dropping them
from the ruleset does not drop ci.yml and the web workflows from it.
