ci(nightly-next): start a build at landing under a rolling rule; an unstarted run holds nothing - #27179
The backstop could not fire. The feed watch runs at :07/:37 with a 25-minute trigger, so it acts 25 to 55 minutes after the last publication. It also counts any queued nightly run as active, so a run whose decide sat 34 or 73 minutes on a label that started nothing kept it quiet the whole time (cmuxterm-hq#4946 item 2).
The last 10 NEXT nightly runs on nightly-next (job timings from the Actions jobs API):
The critical path of a clean run (40799674473): decide and inputs take 1 min, the Mac Release build 13 min (7 of them in xcodebuild), prepare 1 min, sign, notarize and staple the app 4 min, the DMG image on a Mac 5 min, sign and notarize the DMG 3 min, the two Mac verifies 7 min (6.5 of them downloading the signed app), and publish 1 min, for 34 min in all. The build-time cuts come in separate PRs. This PR covers the trigger.
What changes
nightly-next tick (nightly-next-tick.yml) now also runs when a feat-cmux-next cmux-next or cmux-tui artifacts push run finishes (that is when a landing becomes buildable), when a nightly-next build finishes, and on a 5-minute backstop cron. Before it promotes, scripts/ci/nightly_next_rolling.py applies the rolling rule:
if nothing is building nightly-next, it promotes now;
if a build is running, it promotes once the oldest landing that build does not carry has waited 10 minutes (vars.NIGHTLY_NEXT_ROLLING_MINUTES). A burst of landings becomes one build of the newest tip, started beside the running build. Nothing is cancelled, and publication still refuses a build no newer than the feed.
A run whose publish-nightly finished, or that has sat 10 minutes with nothing running and every queued job without a runner, is not "building". A queued job's age comes from the first timestamp the API gives: its created_at, its started_at, then the run's run_started_at and created_at. With none of them it counts as old, never as zero age.
Every read goes through the API with the job's token. nightly-next's head comes from the refs API and the oldest waiting landing from the compare API, so no git remote and no shallow history is involved. If nightly-next can't be read, the tick waits and logs a warning (the feed watch's dispatch for one commit skips the rule). A gap that can't be read counts as an old landing and promotes. Any other failed read promotes and logs a warning, because the promotion ignores a request that does not move nightly-next forward. A dispatch for one commit skips the rule.
dispatches cmux NEXT's tip once the feed or the tip is 20 minutes old (classic keeps its 25);
stops counting a run that has not started as active (same test as above). An unreadable job list still keeps the run, so a failed read never doubles a build;
a run holds the NEXT dispatch back only if it is a nightly-next build (or the train, when it is on) whose head_sha is the tip or contains it, per the compare API. Before, any active run created after the tip landed counted, including classic nightly runs on main. A failed compare does not count. The classic guard keeps its own rule.
Tests
The job and run payloads in the tests are recorded from a live nightly-next run (tests/fixtures/nightly_next_live_run_jobs.json, trimmed), including jobs with their times removed.
tests/test_nightly_next_rolling.py (new, 21 cases) covers: nothing building, so promote; inside the window, wait; window passed, build beside; a queued run that never started; a Mac job with no runner; a job with no times, aged from its run; a brief queue still counts; an environment gate is not stuck; a published run is done while its deltas run; fresh and stale promotions; nothing waiting; and the API reads (head from the refs API, gap from compare including a 400-commit gap, identical/behind/diverged/failed compare, unreadable nightly-next waits with a warning, other failed reads promote with a warning, no git remote used).
tests/test_nightly_next_feed_watch.py, 13 new cases: a main nightly beside a stale NEXT feed never holds the dispatch; a nightly-next run carries the tip only by its head (the tip, ahead or identical carry; behind, diverged, a failed compare or no head do not); an unstarted run does not block; one inside the grace period does; a job without its own times is aged from the run; no timestamp anywhere is old, not zero; running and gated jobs block; an unreadable job list keeps the run; a published run is not building while its deltas wait; a tip older than 20 minutes is built even when the feed is fresh; cmux NEXT uses 20 minutes; the watch cron is every 10 minutes. The two timestamp cases fail on the previous head.
The cadence assertions in tests/test_nightly_delivery_concurrency.py and tests/test_ci_nightly_off_blacksmith.py now pin the new triggers and require the rolling step to gate the request.
Run locally: all of the above, plus test_ci_workflow_run_sources.py, test_ci_quota_hold_gate.py, test_nightly_promotion_admission.py and test_nightly_next_cancelled_tip.py, pass.

Timers: no new loop. The new cron triggers run one bounded job each (the tick's 75-minute timeout, the watch's 5 minutes), and both keep their non-cancelling concurrency groups (one runs, the newest waits).
Risk: more tick runs (each about 1 minute on a 2 vCPU Linux runner, one at a time), and up to about three nightly builds at once during a landing burst while builds take 30 minutes. Builds get faster in the follow-up PRs.
Nightly preview builds are checked every 10 minutes, with a five-minute backstop and checks after relevant build events.
Build requests respond to rolling wait thresholds, helping keep previews current when changes are waiting.
Queued runs that have waited at least 10 minutes without a runner no longer hold back dispatch. Active builds carrying the latest changes continue to count.
Dispatch decisions account for the age of both the feed and its latest changes, using a 20-minute threshold for the NEXT preview branch.
…eued run that never started holds nothing
The tick now runs when a feat-cmux-next landing becomes buildable (cmux-next
or cmux-tui artifacts push run done), when a nightly-next build finishes, and
on a 5-minute backstop cron. scripts/ci/nightly_next_rolling.py decides:
promote at once when nothing is building nightly-next, else once the oldest
landing the running build lacks has waited 10 minutes, so a burst becomes one
build of the newest tip beside the running one. Nothing is cancelled.
The feed watch runs every 10 minutes, dispatches cmux NEXT's tip after 20
minutes (feed or tip age), and no longer counts a run that has not started
(nothing running, every queued job 10 minutes without a runner) as active.

…ts its times
A queued job's age now comes from the first timestamp the API gave: its
created_at, its started_at, then the run's run_started_at and created_at.
With none of them it counts as waiting forever, so a missing time never
keeps a stuck run "building". The tests use payloads recorded from a live
nightly-next run (tests/fixtures/nightly_next_live_run_jobs.json), including
jobs with no times; two of them fail on the previous head.

Walkthrough
The PR updates nightly-next feed-watch timing and dispatch rules, adds a rolling promotion decision script, and changes the tick workflow to run after selected completed builds and on a five-minute backstop schedule.
The watch runs every 10 minutes. For cmux NEXT, feed age or tip age can trigger dispatch at 20 minutes. A started run blocks dispatch only when it carries the tip. Completed runs and sufficiently long-unstarted runs do not block dispatch. Tests cover these conditions.
Rolling promotion decision scripts/ci/nightly_next_rolling.py, tests/test_nightly_next_rolling.py, tests/test-execution.toml, .github/workflows/ci-guards.yml
The script uses GitHub API data to identify active builds and the oldest waiting commit, then applies a configurable wait window. Tests cover decision cases and API-read failures. The test is added to the registry and nightly push-throttle validation.
Tick triggers and promotion gate .github/workflows/nightly-next-tick.yml, tests/test_ci_nightly_off_blacksmith.py, tests/test_nightly_delivery_concurrency.py
The tick runs after selected completed workflow runs and on a five-minute cron. Eligible runs use the rolling rule, and the promotion request is gated by its output. Tests check the triggers and gate.

Dedupe unstarted tick dispatches for the same tip.
This change makes a queued tick with no runner stop counting as active after 10 minutes. While the feed stays behind, each watcher pass dispatches another sha tick for the same tip. Each tick has its own concurrency group, so queued ticks accumulate. Check for an unstarted tick already queued for the tip before dispatching.
No safe localized edit is established. Suppressing queued runs again would restore the starvation this change fixes, so the fix needs a design choice.

scripts/ci/nightly_next_rolling.py:146-149 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value
Query unfinished promotion runs by status so a burst cannot hide an active promotion.
The main lookup at scripts/ci/nightly_next_rolling.py:148-149 returns only the newest 10 workflow_dispatch runs of nightly.yml, in any state. Landing dispatches count toward those 10. A burst of newer runs can push an active promotion off the page. decide() then finds no building promotion and returns promote before it reads oldest_waiting. The 10-minute rolling window is bypassed, so a build of the newest tip can start while another build is running.
The runs API accepts one status value per request. Query each unfinished status separately. decide() treats any run that is not completed as possibly building, so these queries cover the statuses it counts.

Correct the backstop cadence in the script docstring to 5 minutes.
The module docstring says the tick runs on "a 10-minute backstop cron". The tick workflow runs every five minutes. The script prints this docstring as its --help text, so an operator who reads it gets the wrong tick cadence for diagnosing promotion latency or tick volume.

Do not drop active nightly runs older than three hours from the rolling check.
RUN_LOOKBACK skips a nightly-next run that is still building after three hours. The tick then promotes the new commit at once, so a second build starts beside the active one. The workflow's job timeouts allow a build to run longer than three hours. Remove the age cutoff for active runs, or derive it from the summed critical-path timeouts with margin, and keep run_is_building as the liveness check.

…ough the API
The tick checks out with persist-credentials: false and 150 commits, so
`git ls-remote` failed on every run (and the rule then promoted), and a
nightly-next more than 150 commits behind read as "nothing waits". The rule
now reads nightly-next's head from the refs API and the oldest waiting
landing from the compare API, with the job's token. An unreadable
nightly-next waits, with a warning (the feed watch's dispatch for one commit
skips the rule); an unknown gap counts as an old landing and promotes; any
other failed read promotes, with a warning.

… head commit
The NEXT starvation guard counted any active run created after the tip
landed, so a classic nightly on main (unsupported since 2026-10-27) held the
dispatch back for its whole run. It now counts only nightly-next's own builds
(and the train when it is on), and only when the run's head_sha is the tip or
contains it per the compare API. A failed compare does not count. The classic
guard keeps its own rule.

…st landing
An unpaginated compare returns at most 250 commits ending at the newest, so
a larger gap hid the oldest waiting landing. The rule now reads page 1 at
one commit per page, the oldest commit after nightly-next.

Record tip_input in the main NEXT dispatch assertion.
The mocked starvation_dispatch records only the branch, minutes, tip-age flag, and carries flag. It does not record tip_input. Removing tip_input="sha" from the NEXT heal call in scripts/ci/nightly_next_feed_watch.py:762-769 leaves this test's assertions unchanged. Without that input, nightly-next-tick.yml skips the sha bypass and runs the rolling rule, which can hold the tick instead of building the stale tip.

Cover the successful gh api path with a fake gh in a unit test.
The missing-gh CLI test does enter gh_api. evaluate uses gh_api by default, and the head read calls it inside a try. With PATH set to /nonexistent, the subprocess.run call in gh_api raises FileNotFoundError. The except branch then returns go=false. The test covers that missing-executable failure branch only. It does not cover a successful gh api call or the json.loads decode of its output.
A wrong gh api argument, or a JSON parse failure, also returns go=false through the same fail-closed branch. The existing tests would still pass in that case, because the unit tests inject api= fakes for every read.
Add a test that calls evaluate(NOW, "o/r", TIP) with the default api. Place an executable gh shim first on PATH. The shim should print fixture JSON for the ref, compare, runs, and jobs routes, selected from $2. Reference tools in the shim by absolute path, because PATH contains only the shim directory. Use a fixture with no running build and a landing gap past the window, and assert go is true. Keep NOW fixed so the test does not depend on the wall clock. Follow the fake-gh pattern in tests/test_gh_budget_wait.py.

#27179 changed the feed watch's active-run filter: a run carries the tip only when its head is
the tip or contains it, and a run that never started (nothing running, every queued job 10
minutes without a runner) or a classic run on main holds nothing back. That covers what this
branch's stuck_run() added to the feed watch, so the feed watch and its tests are taken
whole from main, and this branch no longer changes them.
#27179 also found that `git ls-remote` fails on every tick run (its checkout keeps no
credentials). The stuck-run, cancelled-tip and re-run scripts read nightly-next's head
through the refs API instead, type-checked, and fail closed on an unreadable answer. Their
test fakes now answer the refs API and make git itself fail, so a script that still reads
git fails its test.
The tick keeps main's header, triggers and rolling-rule step; the tooling checkout carries
the union of both sides' scripts.

Leo, 01:25Z: "and where are the nightlies!?"
What was wrong
The feed watch was red on every pass ("pushes have waited 1.9h, limit 0.5h"). Two parts of that are trigger timing, not build time:
decidesat 34 or 73 minutes on a label that started nothing kept it quiet the whole time (cmuxterm-hq#4946 item 2).The last 10 NEXT nightly runs on
nightly-next(job timings from the Actions jobs API):The critical path of a clean run (40799674473): decide and inputs take 1 min, the Mac Release build 13 min (7 of them in xcodebuild), prepare 1 min, sign, notarize and staple the app 4 min, the DMG image on a Mac 5 min, sign and notarize the DMG 3 min, the two Mac verifies 7 min (6.5 of them downloading the signed app), and publish 1 min, for 34 min in all. The build-time cuts come in separate PRs. This PR covers the trigger.
What changes
nightly-next-tick.yml) now also runs when a feat-cmux-nextcmux-nextorcmux-tui artifactspush run finishes (that is when a landing becomes buildable), when a nightly-next build finishes, and on a 5-minute backstop cron. Before it promotes,scripts/ci/nightly_next_rolling.pyapplies the rolling rule:vars.NIGHTLY_NEXT_ROLLING_MINUTES). A burst of landings becomes one build of the newest tip, started beside the running build. Nothing is cancelled, and publication still refuses a build no newer than the feed.publish-nightlyfinished, or that has sat 10 minutes with nothing running and every queued job without a runner, is not "building". A queued job's age comes from the first timestamp the API gives: itscreated_at, itsstarted_at, then the run'srun_started_atandcreated_at. With none of them it counts as old, never as zero age.nightly-next-feed-watch.yml,scripts/ci/nightly_next_feed_watch.py):head_shais the tip or contains it, per the compare API. Before, any active run created after the tip landed counted, including classic nightly runs on main. A failed compare does not count. The classic guard keeps its own rule.Tests
tests/fixtures/nightly_next_live_run_jobs.json, trimmed), including jobs with their times removed.tests/test_nightly_next_rolling.py(new, 21 cases) covers: nothing building, so promote; inside the window, wait; window passed, build beside; a queued run that never started; a Mac job with no runner; a job with no times, aged from its run; a brief queue still counts; an environment gate is not stuck; a published run is done while its deltas run; fresh and stale promotions; nothing waiting; and the API reads (head from the refs API, gap from compare including a 400-commit gap, identical/behind/diverged/failed compare, unreadable nightly-next waits with a warning, other failed reads promote with a warning, no git remote used).tests/test_nightly_next_feed_watch.py, 13 new cases: a main nightly beside a stale NEXT feed never holds the dispatch; a nightly-next run carries the tip only by its head (the tip, ahead or identical carry; behind, diverged, a failed compare or no head do not); an unstarted run does not block; one inside the grace period does; a job without its own times is aged from the run; no timestamp anywhere is old, not zero; running and gated jobs block; an unreadable job list keeps the run; a published run is not building while its deltas wait; a tip older than 20 minutes is built even when the feed is fresh; cmux NEXT uses 20 minutes; the watch cron is every 10 minutes. The two timestamp cases fail on the previous head.tests/test_nightly_delivery_concurrency.pyandtests/test_ci_nightly_off_blacksmith.pynow pin the new triggers and require the rolling step to gate the request.test_ci_workflow_run_sources.py,test_ci_quota_hold_gate.py,test_nightly_promotion_admission.pyandtest_nightly_next_cancelled_tip.py, pass.Performance
Timers: no new loop. The new cron triggers run one bounded job each (the tick's 75-minute timeout, the watch's 5 minutes), and both keep their non-cancelling concurrency groups (one runs, the newest waits).
Overlap
stuck_run, a 20-minute rule for non-owned labels) and adds a tick step. The two compose: whichever lands second rebases a one-line conflict instarvation_dispatch.Risk: more tick runs (each about 1 minute on a 2 vCPU Linux runner, one at a time), and up to about three nightly builds at once during a landing burst while builds take 30 minutes. Builds get faster in the follow-up PRs.
