A GitHub billing block stopped CI. This PR makes the runner policy refuse GitHub-hosted labels and moves the jobs that used them to Blacksmith.

Commit 1 (red) replaces check_no_bare_github_hosted_runners in tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh with check_no_github_hosted_runners. It scans every runner-selection position (runs-on, matrix values, dispatch defaults, *RUNNER* keys) and the manaflow-ai fleet in .github/runners.json. A # github-hosted-required: comment is no longer an exemption. It allows only the fork branch (github.repository_owner != 'manaflow-ai' && '<label>'), the label list inside the CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER selector, and an exact exception list with reasons. On main it fails on 30 lines plus runners.json.

Commit 2 (green) moves:

  • 21 Linux control-plane and trusted-token jobs to the existing CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER selector (Blacksmith by default; the fork routing test already accepts this exact form for outsider-triggered workflows).
  • The MACOS_RUNNER_BACKGROUND fallback from macos-15 to blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-15, behind the fork branch.
  • cmux-tui Windows from windows-latest to blacksmith-4vcpu-windows-2025, ARM64 Linux to blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404-arm (workflow fallback and runners.json).
  • web-complexity.yml pull requests from ubuntu-latest to blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404.
  • The relay launcher smoke from ubuntu-latest/macos-14 to Blacksmith Linux and macOS 15, owner-gated.

Still GitHub-hosted (guard exceptions): npm provenance publish and verify jobs and the attestation job (npm accepts only GitHub-hosted runners), the cloud overflow probe watch job (it detects a Blacksmith outage), cla.yml and cla-policy-guard.yml (pinned by validate-cla-policy.rb until #17453 lands), and the macOS 14 and Intel legs of dispatch-only ci-macos-compat.yml (no Blacksmith image).

Operator follow-up after merge: two repository variables still name GitHub-hosted labels and override the new fallbacks, CI_NIGHTLY_DECIDE_RUNNER=ubuntu-24.04 and LINUX_ARM64_RUNNER=ubuntu-24.04-arm.

Local checks: tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, tests/test_ci_fork_runner_routing.py, tests/test_runner_label_policy.py, and 33 other CI tests that read the changed workflows pass; actionlint (manaflow build) reports nothing new.

Do not merge without Lawrence's confirmation.

Summary by cubic

A GitHub billing block stopped CI. This PR makes the runner policy refuse GitHub-hosted labels and moves every job that used them to Blacksmith; it must not merge until confirmed.

  • Replaces check_no_bare_github_hosted_runners with check_no_github_hosted_runners, which scans every runner-selection position (runs-on, matrix values, dispatch defaults, *RUNNER* keys) and the manaflow-ai fleet in .github/runners.json; # github-hosted-required: comments no longer exempt a label.
  • Moves 21 Linux control-plane and trusted-token jobs to the CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER selector (Blacksmith by default) and moves the macOS background lane, Windows, ARM64 Linux, and web-complexity pull requests to Blacksmith fallback labels, with forks routed to GitHub-hosted.
  • Drops the retired macos-14 compat leg; only the macOS 15 Intel leg stays GitHub-hosted.
  • Keeps GitHub-hosted only the npm provenance and attestation jobs (npm requires them), the cloud-overflow probe's watch job (it detects Blacksmith outages), and the CLA jobs (until the CLA migration lands).
  • Updates the resolver, owned-pool rescue, and fork-routing contract tests for the CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER selector and the new fork branches.

Follow-up after merge

  • Two repo variables still name GitHub-hosted labels and override the new fallbacks: set CI_NIGHTLY_DECIDE_RUNNER and LINUX_ARM64_RUNNER to Blacksmith labels.

Written for commit 852b964. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • CI jobs now select runners based on repository context and approved settings, while retaining hosted runners for external and fork-based workflows.
    • Background macOS jobs default to an ephemeral runner. Linux ARM64 and Windows build jobs use updated runner selections, with explicit overrides still supported.
    • Package smoke checks now run only in the primary repository.
    • CI checks cover additional hosted-runner routing scenarios and enforce runner-selection rules more broadly.
    • The macOS compatibility matrix no longer includes the macOS 14 configuration.

Note

Medium Risk
Broad CI runner routing changes affect every control-plane and attribution workflow; misconfiguration could queue jobs or leave repo variables overriding new Blacksmith fallbacks until operators update them.

Overview
After a GitHub billing block stopped CI, this PR tightens runner policy so manaflow-ai jobs no longer depend on GitHub-hosted labels by default.

Guard and docs: check_no_bare_github_hosted_runners becomes check_no_github_hosted_runners, scanning runs-on, matrix values, *RUNNER* keys, and the manaflow-ai fleet in .github/runners.json. # github-hosted-required: no longer exempts a line; only the fork branch, the CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER allowlist, and a small named exception list stay on GitHub-hosted.

Workflow routing: Many trusted/control-plane Linux jobs switch from pinned ubuntu-24.04 to the CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER expression (Blacksmith default). Background macOS fallbacks move from macos-15 to blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-15; cmux-tui Windows and ARM64 Linux get Blacksmith defaults with fork branches to GitHub images. resolve-runners.yml and owned-pool rescue polling follow the same trusted selector. ci-macos-compat drops the retired macos-14 leg; relay-publish-npm smoke is owner-gated and runs on Blacksmith.

Still GitHub-hosted: npm provenance/attestation, cloud overflow probe watch, CLA jobs, and the Intel compat leg—unchanged intent, now documented in the guard exceptions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Workflow runner selections now vary by repository owner and configured runner values. The changes update Linux, macOS, ARM64, and Windows routes, revise runner checks, and extend fork-routing tests and CI documentation.

Changes

CI runner routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Trusted Ubuntu runner routes
.github/workflows/auto-triage.yml, .github/workflows/ci-*.yml, .github/workflows/claude.yml, .github/workflows/cmux-browser.yml, .github/workflows/contributor-welcome.yml, .github/workflows/labels-sync.yml, .github/workflows/merge-*.yml, .github/workflows/pr-media.yml, .github/workflows/resolve-runners.yml, .github/workflows/triage-radar.yml
These jobs use an allowlisted CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER value or a Blacksmith Ubuntu fallback for manaflow-ai. Other repository owners use ubuntu-24.04.
Platform and specialized workflow routes
.github/runners.json, .github/workflows/build-ghosttykit.yml, .github/workflows/ci-health-report.yml, .github/workflows/ci-repo-variables.yml, .github/workflows/ci-macos-compat.yml, .github/workflows/cmux-tui*, .github/workflows/relay-publish-npm.yml, .github/workflows/web-complexity.yml
macOS, Linux ARM64, and Windows runner labels and fallbacks change. The relay smoke job is limited to manaflow-ai, and its Linux and macOS runners change to Blacksmith labels. The macOS 14 compatibility matrix entry is removed.
Runner guard, routing tests, and documentation
tests/test_ci_fork_runner_routing.py, tests/test_ci_owned_pool_rescue.py, tests/test_ci_runner_capability_resolver.py, tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, docs/ci-runners.md
The guard checks runner-selection positions and fleet mappings, with specified exceptions. Fork-routing tests cover Windows and ARM64 branches. The documentation describes the updated routes and guard checks.

Priority: ⬆️ High

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: teamleaderleo

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 852b9

The documentation needs correction, and the runner-variable values should be confirmed before merge. If they still contain the reported hosted labels, nightly decisions and ARM64 package checks may remain blocked by GitHub billing despite the new Blacksmith fallbacks.

CI fast guards passes on 852b9643a1 (https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/37561862852). 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.

Describe the configured runner and fallback in both comments.

The CI runner documentation says manaflow-ai jobs do not use GitHub-hosted runners. It lists blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-15 as both the intended runner and fallback for MACOS_RUNNER_BACKGROUND. The current comments misstate where these lanes run.

Update the comment above runs-on. It now contradicts the code.

Lines 34-35 say "no runner variable may pick the machine". Line 36 now reads vars.CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER. The allowlist limits that variable to ephemeral labels, so this is not a security defect. The comment is still false. Reword it to say that only the allowlisted CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER selector may choose the runner.

not a steady state for any lane. No job in `manaflow-ai` selects a
GitHub-hosted runner, so a GitHub billing block or hosted outage cannot stop CI;
see "Guard" for the few jobs that must stay GitHub-hosted and why.

Correct the fallback column and qualify the no-hosted-runner statement.

The workflow uses vars.LINUX_ARM64_RUNNER when set and falls back to blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404-arm. Keep ubuntu-24.04-arm as the documented override and operator value. The Guard section also documents GitHub-hosted exceptions. The Background lane wording already describes the fork exception and does not require replacement.

Suggested documentation fix
-No job in `manaflow-ai` selects a
-GitHub-hosted runner, so a GitHub billing block or hosted outage cannot stop CI;
-see "Guard" for the few jobs that must stay GitHub-hosted and why.
+`manaflow-ai` uses Blacksmith for its fallback lanes, but `LINUX_ARM64_RUNNER`
+and the Guard exceptions can select GitHub-hosted runners. See "Guard" for
+these exceptions and why.

Update the runner documentation table so the `LINUX_ARM64_RUNNER` fallback is
`blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404-arm`, while keeping `ubuntu-24.04-arm` as the
documented override and operator value. Qualify the no-hosted-runner statement

Reject GitHub-hosted labels in repository-variable validation.

The workflow-text guard cannot inspect repository-variable values. nightly.yml selects vars.CI_NIGHTLY_DECIDE_RUNNER before vars.LINUX_RUNNER, while runner_label_policy.py does not reject ubuntu-24.04; its tests also explicitly approve ubuntu-24.04-arm. A hosted value can therefore bypass the guard and keep the nightly gate on GitHub-hosted infrastructure during a billing block.

Extend the value-level policy for variables that feed runs-on, including CI_NIGHTLY_DECIDE_RUNNER, and add regression cases for ubuntu-24.04 and ubuntu-24.04-arm. Preserve only documented exceptions.

Makes check_no_github_hosted_runners pass on feat-cmux-next. Same moves as
#18164 for the shared workflows, plus the next-only ones:
cmux-next.yml (two trusted-token jobs to CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER, fork pull
request Linux branch to Blacksmith), cmux-next-generated-catch-up.yml (both
jobs to CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER), cmux-tui-nightly.yml (background lane macOS

cmux-tui-nightly npm provenance job stays GitHub-hosted as a guard exception.

Correctness review of the final diff at 9998ec9 (rebased on main c72d139). Reviewer: the PR author's agent, reading every changed workflow line, the guard, and the tests that pin these jobs.

Verdict: no blocking issue found. Notes, highest risk first:

  1. Failover direction. 21 control-plane and trusted-token jobs (resolve-runners, attribution, janitors, triage, claude, pr-media, merge receipt, cmux-browser host-tests and others) move from a fixed ubuntu-24.04 to the CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER selector. During a Blacksmith outage, scripts/ci/cloud_overflow_switch.py sets CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER (and LINUX_RUNNER) to ubuntu-24.04, so these jobs fail over to GitHub-hosted. The probe that drives the switch (ci-cloud-overflow-probe.yml watch) stays GitHub-hosted on purpose. Result: billing block -> Blacksmith; Blacksmith outage -> GitHub-hosted. Previously only the second direction existed.
  2. Two repo variables still name GitHub-hosted labels and override the new fallbacks: CI_NIGHTLY_DECIDE_RUNNER=ubuntu-24.04 and LINUX_ARM64_RUNNER=ubuntu-24.04-arm. Until they change, nightly decide and the ARM64 package jobs stay GitHub-hosted. Suggested values: CI_NIGHTLY_DECIDE_RUNNER=blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404 (or delete it; the workflow then falls to LINUX_RUNNER, which is that label) and LINUX_ARM64_RUNNER=blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404-arm.
  3. Windows (cmux-tui.yml test-windows, cmux-tui-build-package.yml build-windows) moves to blacksmith-4vcpu-windows-2025. These jobs run only in cmux-tui.yml full mode (dispatch), so this PR's checks do not exercise them. The Blacksmith Windows 2025 image ran Node/Playwright work green in manaflow-ai/cmux-browser-cli#2; the cmux-tui gnu/lld toolchain on it is unproven until the next full run. vars.WINDOWS_RUNNER (unset) can repoint it.
  4. ARM64: blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404-arm is in use in coderouter; in cmux it takes effect only after the variable in item 2 changes.
  5. ci-macos-compat.yml: the retired macos-14 leg is dropped (intent of ci: replace retired macOS 14 runners #17068); the macOS 15 arm64 leg already runs on blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-15. macos-14 is removed from both guard exception lists, so it cannot return. The Intel leg stays GitHub-hosted (no Blacksmith Intel image). ci: replace retired macOS 14 runners #17068's workflow and guard parts become redundant after this merges; its Swift change in ComputersSettingsRow.swift is independent.
  6. Relay smoke (relay-publish-npm.yml smoke): now if: github.repository_owner == 'manaflow-ai' (implicit success() still applies) on Blacksmith Linux and macOS 15. Release-only; not exercised by PR CI.
  7. web-complexity.yml pull-request branch runs contributor install scripts on an ephemeral Blacksmith VM instead of ubuntu-latest. It still reads no runner variable, so it cannot reach an owned mini.
  8. Guard scope: check_no_github_hosted_runners reads workflow text and .github/runners.json; it cannot see repository variable values (item 2). runner_label_policy.py was not changed to refuse GitHub-hosted variable values, because the overflow switch writes ubuntu-24.04 into variables by design.
  9. Jobs whose old comment said they "keep CI's Linux pool free" (pr-media, ci-ui-tests dispatch, pool rescue) now use Blacksmith concurrency. They are short; acceptable.

Local evidence: tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh exit 0; test_ci_fork_runner_routing.py, test_runner_label_policy.py, test_ci_owned_pool_rescue.py, test_ci_runner_capability_resolver.py, test_ci_macos_xcode_selection.py pass; every other test that reads a changed workflow passes except test_tui_focused_filter_guard.py, which fails identically on main. actionlint (manaflow build) clean on changed workflows.

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.

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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two workflow contract tests pinned these jobs to ubuntu-24.04. They now pin
the CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER selector: a fork still starts on GitHub-hosted Linux,
and manaflow-ai runs on Blacksmith.

GitHub retired the macos-14 image. The macOS 15 arm64 leg already runs on
blacksmith-6vcpu-macos-15, so drop the macos-14 row instead of moving it, and
remove macos-14 from both guard exception lists so it cannot come back. Only
the Intel leg stays GitHub-hosted. The relay smoke row already moved from
macos-14 to Blacksmith macOS 15 in this PR.

Rebased again onto main 6fa0ea9 (head 852b964) after #17453 (CLA validator) landed. Conflicts in tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh, tests/test_ci_fork_runner_routing.py and docs/ci-runners.md were resolved by keeping both sides: #17453's BLACKSMITH_RUNNER_NAME_CHECK and CLA-guard wording stay; this PR's guard and Windows/ARM64 fork branches are added. cla.yml and cla-policy-guard.yml still pin ubuntu-24.04 on main, so they stay guard exceptions until #17453's follow-up PRs move them. The review above still applies. Local: guard exit 0; related tests pass except test_tui_focused_filter_guard.py (fails identically on main); actionlint clean.

- test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh: one check_no_github_hosted_runners (with the
  cmux-tui-nightly npm exception), macos-14 removed from its exceptions.
- reload.sh: feat-cmux-next's --direct-backend and app stop helper, main's
  app-module-emission switch. testbox demo: main's version; its new test's
  fixture uses ghostty-next.
- cmux-tui*.yml, regenerate-bundles, cli-contract, test-execution,
  backend-migrations test: feat-cmux-next's side.
