ci(janitor): no-op CI runs stop evicting the waiting sweep; a long sweep still publishes - #28504
The queue janitor writes the macos-pool-load snapshot that PR placement reads. Placement wants that snapshot to be under 15 minutes old, but on 2026-10-30 it was older than that for 54% of the day (607 of 1,133 minutes, measured from generated_at). The worst gap was 50 minutes, 17:28Z to 18:18Z. This PR fixes two causes on the writer side.
No-op runs pushed real sweeps out of the queue. The workflow-level concurrency group allows one running run and one waiting run, and each new arrival cancels the one that is waiting. A CI run of a pull request into feat-cmux-next starts no sweep (the job's if), but it still joined the group. Those runs made up 238 of the janitor's last 400 runs. Each one cancelled the real sweep waiting there, crons often within seconds of being queued, and then skipped. After 17:57Z every new arrival was one of these no-op runs, so nothing swept until the 18:14 cron. Such a run now gets a group of its own (ci-queue-janitor-noop-<run_id>). Its condition is the same expression as the job's if, so every run that does sweep still shares ci-queue-janitor, and sweeps still run one at a time.
A timed-out sweep published nothing. The upload step runs only when the job is not cancelled, and a job timeout counts as cancelled. Since ci(janitor): list every queued run, mark partial snapshots truncated, keep the cron's rescue sweeper #28402 a sweep lists the whole queue, which took up to 13 minutes. Two sweeps in a row, started at 17:36Z and 17:47Z, hit the 10-minute timeout, so neither published. The job timeout goes from 10 to 15 minutes.
This changes only the writer. Placement's handling of a stale snapshot is #28249's.
Not addressed here, for a follow-up: GitHub's cron drift (median 11 min between */10 ticks today, up to 25.5), and the fact that the 300/600 s skip is timed from the last upload while age is measured from generated_at.
Testing
python3 -m unittest tests.test_ci_queue_janitor: on the base, the two new WorkflowShapeTests cases fail (test_a_run_that_starts_no_sweep_never_evicts_a_waiting_sweep, test_a_long_sweep_still_publishes_its_snapshot; red commit b229081). On the head, all 269 tests pass.

Summary by cubic
Fixes the queue janitor's macos-pool-load snapshot going stale (up to 50 minutes old) by fixing two causes: no-op CI runs cancelled the waiting sweep, and timed-out sweeps published nothing.
Bug Fixes
Runs whose job's if starts no sweep (CI runs of PRs into feat-cmux-next) now get a per-run concurrency group, so they can no longer cancel the real sweep waiting in ci-queue-janitor.
The sweep job timeout increases from 10 to 15 minutes, because a timed-out job skips the upload step and sweeps listing the whole queue took up to 13 minutes.
Written for commit 36a71e8. Summary will update on new commits.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Chores
Updated automated maintenance workflow handling so concurrent pull request runs targeting feat-cmux-next use separate concurrency groups, while other events retain the shared group.
Increased the maintenance sweep timeout from 10 to 15 minutes.
Added checks for the workflow’s concurrency behavior and minimum timeout. No user-facing product changes.
…eep still publishes
A CI run of a pull request into feat-cmux-next starts no sweep, but in the
shared group it cancelled the sweep waiting there. On 2026-10-30 these were
238 of the last 400 janitor runs, and the pool snapshot reached 50 minutes old.
The job timeout goes from 10 to 15 minutes: sweeps took up to 13, and a timed-out
sweep publishes nothing.

Walkthrough
The CI queue janitor now assigns qualifying workflow_run events a run-specific concurrency group and skips the sweep for those runs. Other runs use the shared group. The sweep timeout increased from 10 to 15 minutes, and tests assert these settings.

Summary
Concurrency selection and sweep timeout .github/workflows/ci-queue-janitor.yml, tests/test_ci_queue_janitor.py, tests/test_ci_starved_labels.py
Runs targeting feat-cmux-next use a run-specific concurrency group and skip the sweep. Other runs use the shared group. The sweep timeout is 15 minutes. Tests assert the concurrency behavior and timeout.
The concurrency and timeout changes appear mergeable. A bounded testing follow-up remains: explicitly protect the upload condition in the publication test.

Explanation
The pull request changes only a GitHub Actions YAML workflow and Python tests. It introduces no production Swift, TypeScript, or JavaScript change, and it does not perform a cache substitution in a persistence, history, undo, or snapshot path.
Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps
Explanation
PASS. The PR changes only a GitHub Actions workflow YAML file and Python test files. The rule explicitly excludes GitHub Actions workflow YAML, and the PR introduces no covered TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, or build/runtime-script delay. The timeout increase is CI orchestration, not a covered hacky sleep.
Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity
Explanation
PASS. The pull request changes only workflow concurrency/timeout expressions and test assertions. It does not add or worsen loops, collection scans, sorting/filtering, joins, or another algorithmic path covered by the rule. The shell sweep logic is unchanged; the workflow expression only selects a concurrency group.
Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles
Explanation
PASS. The PR changes only .github/workflows/ci-queue-janitor.yml and two test files. The workflow changes concurrency grouping and timeout-minutes; they do not change SwiftPM dependencies, package .gitignore files, Xcode package references, or any Package.resolved file. No stated SwiftPM lockfile failure condition applies.
Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy
Explanation
PASS: The production change only modifies an internal GitHub Actions janitor workflow: its concurrency expression and job timeout. The remaining changes are comments and tests. No changed text reaches a cmux app UI, product CLI, or product API. The workflow log text is an operator diagnostic, which the rule allows.
Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization
Explanation
PASS: The pull request changes only the CI workflow and Python tests. The workflow additions are concurrency configuration, a timeout value, and operational comments. The test additions are assertions and developer-only comments. No Swift text, string-catalog entry, web UI/API copy, metadata, rendered markdown, changelog, or locale data changed.
Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout
Explanation
The pull request changes only .github/workflows/ci-queue-janitor.yml, tests/test_ci_queue_janitor.py, and tests/test_ci_starved_labels.py. The diff contains GitHub Actions YAML and Python test changes, with no SwiftUI code, ObservableObject, @Published, @Observable, GeometryReader, lazy/list row, or render-time state changes. The SwiftUI state-layout check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts
Explanation
The pull request changes only .github/workflows/ci-queue-janitor.yml and two Python test files. The reviewed diff contains no Swift changes and introduces no cmux-owned auxiliary windows. The Swift auxiliary-window shortcut rule is therefore inapplicable.
Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts
Explanation
The diff changes only .github/workflows/ci-queue-janitor.yml, tests/test_ci_queue_janitor.py, and tests/test_ci_starved_labels.py. These are hand-written workflow configuration and tests. No local output, generated log, screenshot, recording, cache, build output, dependency checkout, temporary directory, or broad artifact directory appears in the changed paths.
Full details: Cmux No Test Or Debug Seam In Production Source
Explanation
PASS: The pull request changes only .github/workflows/ci-queue-janitor.yml and two Python test files. It changes no Swift file under a production Sources/ path, so it cannot introduce the prohibited test or debug seam.

Thanks for using CodeRabbit! It's free for OSS, and your support helps us grow. If you like it, consider giving us a shout-out.
The test named test_a_long_sweep_still_publishes_its_snapshot checks only the job timeout. The step that uploads the snapshot, Publish macOS pool load, has its own if: expression, and no test asserts that expression as a whole. The loop in the earlier refresh test checks only that each later step's if: contains steps.fresh.outputs.skip != 'true'. An edit that keeps that substring but removes !cancelled() or appends another clause still passes both tests.
🧪 Suggested fix
workflow = yaml.safe_load(self.text)
self.assertGreaterEqual(workflow["jobs"]["sweep"]["timeout-minutes"], 15)
+ publish = next(step for step in workflow["jobs"]["sweep"]["steps"]+ if step.get("name") == "Publish macOS pool load")+ self.assertEqual(publish["if"], "${{ !cancelled() && steps.fresh.outputs.skip != 'true' }}")

Summary
The queue janitor writes the
macos-pool-loadsnapshot that PR placement reads. Placement wants that snapshot to be under 15 minutes old, but on 2026-10-30 it was older than that for 54% of the day (607 of 1,133 minutes, measured fromgenerated_at). The worst gap was 50 minutes, 17:28Z to 18:18Z. This PR fixes two causes on the writer side.if), but it still joined the group. Those runs made up 238 of the janitor's last 400 runs. Each one cancelled the real sweep waiting there, crons often within seconds of being queued, and then skipped. After 17:57Z every new arrival was one of these no-op runs, so nothing swept until the 18:14 cron. Such a run now gets a group of its own (ci-queue-janitor-noop-<run_id>). Its condition is the same expression as the job'sif, so every run that does sweep still sharesci-queue-janitor, and sweeps still run one at a time.This changes only the writer. Placement's handling of a stale snapshot is #28249's.
Not addressed here, for a follow-up: GitHub's cron drift (median 11 min between
