ci: let the CLA jobs run on Blacksmith (1/3: validator) - #17453
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The CLA guard pinned every CLA job and the guard itself to GitHub-hosted
ubuntu-24.04 and required runner.environment == 'github-hosted', so a
GitHub-hosted runner outage blocked CLA Assistant and the CLA policy guard,
and with them every merge. Blacksmith VMs are also single-job and
ephemeral, and main already runs trusted-token work there.
This is the guard-only first step. The validator now accepts, as exact
strings, ubuntu-24.04, blacksmith-2vcpu-ubuntu-2404,
blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404 and the CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER selector from
backend-migrations.yml, and still rejects other variables, event-derived
values, self-hosted and floating labels. A new runner guard step admits
GitHub-hosted runners and Blacksmith scale-set VMs
(blacksmith-{2,4}vcpu-ubuntu-2404-Runner-*) and refuses glaeda-named owned
machines; the old hosted-only step stays valid so main's workflows keep
passing. Step conditions are split at top-level && only, which also closes
a !(... && hosted && ...) bypass in the old check.
cla.yml is checked by its exact bytes, so the follow-up runner-only
cla.yml is pinned here as a reviewed successor of main's pin. Adds

top_level_and_terms did not treat index brackets as nesting, so
`always() && fromJSON('[true]')[false && runner.environment ==
'github-hosted' && true]` counted as runner-gated while running on any
runner. Brackets now nest like parentheses, and a mismatched or unclosed
group fails closed.
A v3 job could also pair a Blacksmith or selector runs-on with steps gated
only on the GitHub-hosted term; on Blacksmith those steps would skip and the
check could go green without doing its work. Off ubuntu-24.04, gated steps
now need the ephemeral term.
Also keeps the main-pin comments true once the runner successor lands.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Require the ephemeral guard triple when runs-on is not ubuntu-24.04.
assert_hosted_runner_guard_step accepts either guard triple for any runner in CLA_RUNNERS. A Blacksmith VM reports runner.environment == 'self-hosted'. On that runner, the "Require GitHub-hosted runner" step therefore exits 1 on every run.
The validator still accepts the following combinations:
- A CLA job with
runs-on: blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404, or withCLA_TRUSTED_RUNNER_EXPRESSION, plus the hosted guard. This path goes throughassert_hosted_runner_job_steps. - A guard workflow with the same
runs-onvalues plus the hosted guard. This path goes throughvalidate_guard_workflow, Lines 2848-2856. The regression at Lines 1723-1726 asserts that this combination passes.
In each case the required CLA check fails on every pull request until a trusted revert lands. This is the same problem as the silent skip that Line 1380 already blocks for step conditions. It fails closed, but it still breaks the check. tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh Lines 57-60 already reject the selector with the hosted guard, so the Ruby authority is looser than the shell check it claims to back.
Pass runs_on into the guard check and apply the same rule as assert_hosted_runner_step.
Proposed fix
-def assert_hosted_runner_guard_step(step, name)
+def assert_hosted_runner_guard_step(step, name, runs_on: CLA_RUNNER)
assert_step_keys(step, "#{name} runner guard", %w[name if run])
# Name, condition, and shell must all come from the same reviewed guard.
- guard = CLA_RUNNER_GUARD_STEPS.find { |guard_name, _if, _run| step["name"] == guard_name }
+ # Off ubuntu-24.04 only the ephemeral guard can pass on the runner.
+ accepted = runs_on == CLA_RUNNER ? CLA_RUNNER_GUARD_STEPS : [CLA_RUNNER_GUARD_STEPS.last]
+ guard = accepted.find { |guard_name, _if, _run| step["name"] == guard_name }Then pass runs_on: job_value["runs-on"] at Line 1391 and runs_on: guard_job["runs-on"] at Line 2856. Restrict the product at Line 1723 to [CLA_RUNNER] for hosted_identity. Add a rejection case for a Blacksmith runner with the hosted guard.

Makes check_no_github_hosted_runners pass. - 21 control-plane and trusted-token Linux jobs (attribution, janitors, triage, labels, claude, pr-media, merge receipt, resolve-runners, the cmux-browser host tests) use the CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER selector: Blacksmith by default, GitHub-hosted only as an explicit operator choice, forks GitHub-hosted. - The MACOS_RUNNER_BACKGROUND lane falls back to blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-15 behind the fork branch (build-ghosttykit, cmux-tui-artifacts). - cmux-tui Windows jobs fall back to blacksmith-4vcpu-windows-2025, ARM64 Linux to blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404-arm (also in runners.json). - web-complexity pull requests run on blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404. - relay smoke runs on Blacksmith Linux and macOS 15, owner-gated. Still GitHub-hosted, listed with reasons in the guard: npm provenance and attestation jobs, the cloud overflow probe watch job, the two CLA jobs (until #17453 lands), and the macOS 14 and Intel compat legs.

…18164) * ci: refuse GitHub-hosted runner labels in workflows (failing guard) A GitHub billing block or hosted outage must never stop CI. Replace check_no_bare_github_hosted_runners, which let any job keep a GitHub-hosted label behind a '# github-hosted-required:' comment, with check_no_github_hosted_runners: no runner-selection position may name ubuntu-*, macos-* or windows-* outside the fork branch, the CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER selector's label list, and an exact exception list with reasons. It also checks that the manaflow-ai fleet in .github/runners.json is GitHub-hosted free. This commit fails on the 30 lines and the runners.json entry that the next commit moves.

The CLA Assistant and CLA policy guard checks only run on GitHub-hosted runners, so a GitHub-hosted outage blocks every PR on them. The other trusted jobs moved to Blacksmith in #17445. This is step 1 of 3 to move the CLA jobs too.
This PR only changes the guard (
validate-cla-policy.rb). The validator runs from main, so the workflow changes come in two follow-up PRs once this lands: PR 2 changescla.yml(policy) and PR 3 changescla-policy-guard.yml(guard).What the validator accepts now:
ubuntu-24.04,blacksmith-2vcpu-ubuntu-2404,blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404, or theCI_TRUSTED_RUNNERselector from ci: route backend-migrations and web-complexity through CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER #17445, byte for byte, and only asjobs.<id>.runs-on. It still rejects other variables (includingvars.LINUX_RUNNER), a widened selector,github.eventvalues,self-hosted,ubuntu-latestand label lists. The selector can only resolve to GitHub-hosted or Blacksmith, which keeps answering the original concern: a variable can't send this work to a persistent self-hosted machine.blacksmith-{2,4}vcpu-ubuntu-2404-Runner-, and it always fails a name containingglaeda(all our own runners have that). The name is set when a runner registers, so this only catches a job sent to the wrong machine by mistake. Theruns-onallowlist is the real control.

The parser now ignores&&inside parentheses and quotes, which also closes an old gap where!(x && runner.environment == 'github-hosted' && y)passed.cla.yml: pinned now as an allowed next version of main's file, because the validator acceptscla.ymlonly by its exact hash.
