The linux runner pool (.github/runners.json pools.linux) now lists blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404, then blacksmith-16vcpu-ubuntu-2404, smallest first. It used to be 32 then 16 vCPU. That makes RUNNER_POOLS.linux 4 vCPU, and so is its LINUX_RUNNER mirror (runner_pools.py). Every job on main and feat-cmux-next that reads either one now gets 4 vCPU.

Leo: "ok. we clearly are not able to use them. so we should have resized a long-ass time ago." and "(im pretty sure blacksmith trimmed us off a bit just cuz we were allegedly costing like $10k a day) so we need to figure out solulus"

Why

Blacksmith now holds us to a small, hard concurrency cap counted in vCPUs, and the 32 vCPU label had about 1,531 jobs queued. Because the pool's first member was 32 vCPU, hundreds of jobs that take a tenth of a minute (pr-perf-section-check, pr-capture-check, ci-status, guard status) each took a 32 vCPU slot. That is the room of eight 4 vCPU jobs. Proof that LINUX_RUNNER was 32 vCPU: pr-perf-section-check (vars.LINUX_RUNNER || 'blacksmith-2vcpu-ubuntu-2404') ran 2,940 times on 32 vCPU on 2026-10-31. Every member is still probed, and when 4 vCPU stalls the pool moves to 16 vCPU (runner_pools.py, unchanged here). 32 vCPU is out of the pool: under a vCPU cap it never starts when 4 and 16 cannot. 8 vCPU is out too. 47 bounded selectors (contains([4,16,32], vars.LINUX_RUNNER) && vars.LINUX_RUNNER || 4) refuse 8 vCPU, so if the pool stepped onto 8, their jobs would stay on the stalled 4 vCPU label. That came out in review. A new test, test_every_bounded_selector_accepts_every_linux_member, now fails on any member a bounded selector refuses: 47 subtests fail with 8 vCPU in the pool.

Changes

• .github/runners.json: pools.linux.members is now 4 then 16 vCPU, and its why gives the measurement.
• scripts/ci/cloud_overflow_switch.py PROBE_LABELS and the probe matrix in ci-cloud-overflow-probe.yml are the same two sizes. tests/test_ci_runner_pools.py already requires the probe set to equal the pool's members. ALTERNATE_FAILOVERS[LINUX_FAILOVER] is now 4 vCPU (it was 32): toward_started() only picks a probed size, and the bounded selectors accept 4. runner_pools.py is untouched.
• Tests that pinned the old order or the old probe set are updated: test_ci_runner_pools, test_ci_cloud_overflow_switch, test_ci_fork_runner_routing. The 47 bounded selectors still list 32 vCPU, so the fork-routing test now accepts a label declared in runners.json or .github/actionlint.yaml. docs/ci-runners.md names the new probe set.

Performance

Source: the HQ build-fleet per-job data for 2026-10-31 (one row per job: workflow, job, label, start and end). Prices are from HQ build-fleet/swift-linux-builder/blacksmith/RESULTS.md (blacksmith runners catalog): 4 vCPU $0.008/min, 32 vCPU $0.064/min, linear. The "after" column is a projection, not a measurement. I evaluated every job's runs-on on main and feat-cmux-next with LINUX_RUNNER / RUNNER_POOLS.linux set to 32 and then to 4. The jobs that move are billed at 4 vCPU. Where a job also ran on 4 vCPU on 2026-10-30 (when LINUX_RUNNER was 4 vCPU), its 4 vCPU wall time from that day is used; otherwise its wall time is kept. Most of these jobs are bound by setup time and do not get slower.

Jobs that read the pool or LINUX_RUNNER and take longer than a minute

• cmux-next guards / release-notary: 5.7 min on 32 vCPU, 6.2 on 4 (10-30). Bound by setup time.
• cmux-tui artifacts / publish to R2: 1.5 to 4.7 min. release rails: 3.2 to 4.9 min. cmux-tui SDKs / seven-language live conformance: 4.1 min on 32 vCPU, about 7 on 4 (n=7), with a 45-minute timeout. All three stay well inside their timeouts.
• fast-checks.yml checks (timeout 195): takes inputs.runner (8, 16 or 32 vCPU, from the broker's reroute) when one is given. Without one it reads the pool and gets 4 vCPU. Mean 3.1 min on 32 vCPU.
• main's ci-web.yml react-apps-check (timeout 10) reads LINUX_RUNNER. PRs into main are rare. If it times out on 4 vCPU, it should name a size (follow-up). On feat-cmux-next the heavy react-apps-check (N) shards are react-apps-check-shard, a literal 32 vCPU job that this PR does not change.
• r2-binaries-prune already reaches its 60-minute timeout on 32 vCPU, so the runner size is not what makes it slow.

Left as follow-up: literal 32 vCPU, not affected here (about 110k min and $7.05k per day still on 32 vCPU)

All of these write !startsWith(vars.LINUX_RUNNER, 'blacksmith-') && vars.LINUX_RUNNER || ... || 'blacksmith-32vcpu-ubuntu-2404' or similar on feat-cmux-next:

• the react-apps-check shards (about 33k min/day)
• cmux-tui-build-package builds (14.5k)
• cmux-next CI guard group (8.1k)
• cmux-next fast tier (cargo) (7.0k)
• cmux-tui tree preflight (3.0k)
• react-apps-base-check (2.6k)
• tooling-tests (2.0k)

Each of these should get a size picked from its own measurements, in its own PR.

After merge

Until the next reconcile (every 10 min), ci-repo-variables' runner_pools.py --check may fail once on main, because the live variables still name 32 vCPU, which is no longer a member. It clears itself on that reconcile.

Overlap

• ci(runner pools): an overflow record defers only the variables it changed, so LINUX_RUNNER leaves a dead size #30308 (runner_pools mirror_writes: LINUX_RUNNER leaves a dead size) pairs with this PR. With ci(runner pools): an overflow record defers only the variables it changed, so LINUX_RUNNER leaves a dead size #30308, LINUX_RUNNER follows the pool again. With this PR, the pool's live member is small. Both change tests/test_ci_runner_pools.py: ci(runner pools): an overflow record defers only the variables it changed, so LINUX_RUNNER leaves a dead size #30308's new test reads the real runners.json with 32 vCPU as a member, so whichever PR lands second adapts that test.
• ci: gallery health, web validation, PR checks and the cloud backend check read the live Linux pool, not one Blacksmith size #29844 and ci(web): the six small ci-web jobs read the Linux pool, not LINUX_RUNNER's one 32 vCPU size #30277 move small jobs from LINUX_RUNNER onto the pool. With this PR those jobs land on 4 vCPU instead of 32.
• Branch lane/pool-size-stall-failover (pushed, no PR yet) orders the pool largest first, 32/16/8/4. That design conflicts with this one, and I have told its coordinator. Smallest first is the point of this PR: the cap counts vCPUs, so the live member has to be small.
• pr-overlap also lists ci: admit nightly promotion on the owned fleet before paid overflow #30076 and ci(janitor): move jobs off a runner label that stopped starting jobs #27114, which touch the same files for other reasons.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Updates
  • Updated the Linux CI runner pool to prioritize 4-vCPU runners, with 16-vCPU runners as an alternative.
  • Expanded overflow checks to cover all Linux runner sizes in the pool, improving visibility into runner availability.
  • CI routing remains unchanged when an overflow check stalls, while health results are still recorded for individual runner sizes.

Walkthrough

The Linux runner pool now lists the 4-vCPU runner before the 16-vCPU runner. Overflow probes and failover configuration use those sizes instead of 32 and 16 vCPU. Tests cover probe outcomes, pool reconciliation, and bounded workflow selectors.

Changes: Linux Runner Pool

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pool membership and failover labels .github/runners.json, scripts/ci/cloud_overflow_switch.py, tests/test_ci_cloud_overflow_switch.py	The Linux pool and overflow switch configuration use the 4-vCPU and 16-vCPU labels. Tests update expected probe, failover, and restore behavior.
Probe matrix and partial results .github/workflows/ci-cloud-overflow-probe.yml, docs/ci-runners.md, tests/test_ci_cloud_overflow_switch.py	The default workflow matrix and documentation list the probe labels. Runtime tests cover partial probe results, health recording, and unchanged routing writes.
Pool reconciliation and selector validation tests/test_ci_runner_pools.py, tests/test_ci_fork_runner_routing.py	Tests verify bounded selectors accept declared Linux pool members and update reconciliation and check-mode expectations for the 4-vCPU pool member.

• manaflow-ai/cmux#30296 — The PR updates the Linux probe set but does not add the promotion pool’s 2-vCPU member.
• manaflow-ai/cmux#26450 — The PR removes the 32-vCPU runner from the Linux pool and changes the failover target from 32 vCPU to 4 vCPU.
• manaflow-ai/cmux#30146 — The PR updates Linux probe labels and checks that bounded selectors accept declared pool members.

Suggested labels: risk:high

Merge Risk: Low · up to 22eb9

The runner changes are mergeable with a small documentation correction: the pool table and restore example still describe the previous configuration. The trusted-runner failover limitation remains a separate, pre-existing follow-up.

Full details: Cmux Cloud Persistent Session And Early Input

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only CI runner-pool declarations, overflow-probe labels and failover logic, documentation, and related tests. The diff does not change Cloud terminal creation, cmux-tui transport, manual renderers, Ghostty runtime admission, input routing, or session/auth/revision/lease handling. The persistent-session rule is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS: The reviewed diff changes only runner configuration, workflow/docs files, Python code, and Python tests. It contains no Swift files or production Swift changes, so it cannot introduce or worsen the specified Swift 6 actor-isolation issues.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The reviewed range changes only CI configuration, documentation, Python tooling, and Python tests. It introduces no production Swift files or Swift runtime behavior. The blocking-runtime criterion is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only Linux runner pool configuration, overflow-probe logic, documentation, and related tests. The reviewed diff contains no browser socket automation commands, WebKit/AppKit access, main-actor routing, or worker-lane browser changes.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only CI runner configuration, documentation, Python scripts, and Python tests. The authoritative diff contains no Swift files or Swift call-site changes, so it does not add or move any expensive synchronous agent-history load onto the main actor or an interactive path.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

The pull request changes only runner configuration, documentation, and Python workflow/test files: .github/runners.json, one workflow YAML, one Markdown file, and four Python files. It introduces no production Swift, TypeScript, or JavaScript change, so the cache-substitution correctness condition does not apply.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes runner labels, failover mappings, documentation, and tests. The only covered runtime script is Python, and its changes do not add or expand sleeps, timers, polling, retries, or wall-clock waits. The workflow YAML timing is explicitly CI orchestration and is out of scope. No hacky sleep condition is introduced.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The pull request does not introduce an algorithmic-complexity violation. The production script change only replaces fixed probe labels and updates comments/docstrings; it does not add or alter collection scans, joins, sorting, filtering, or hot-path processing. The workflow and runner configuration use fixed-size label lists. The remaining code changes are test-only or documentation.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

The reviewed diff changes only runner configuration, documentation, Python CI logic, and Python tests. It contains no Swift files or Swift concurrency APIs, so it does not introduce or expand the legacy async patterns covered by this check.

Explanation

The pull request changes only runner configuration, documentation, Python code, and Python tests. The authoritative diff contains no Swift files or Swift declarations, so the @concurrent criteria do not apply.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

The pull request changes only CI configuration, documentation, Python scripts, and Python tests. The reviewed diff contains no Swift files or production Swift changes, so the Swift package-boundaries rule does not apply.

Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles

Explanation

The pull request changes runner configuration, overflow probing, documentation, and tests. The authoritative diff contains no Package.swift, Package.resolved, Xcode project/workspace, or .gitignore changes, and no dependency declaration or pin changes. The workflow change only replaces a runner label, so the SwiftPM lockfile requirements do not apply.

PASS. The reviewed diff changes only CI runner configuration, an internal overflow-probe workflow/script, CI documentation, and tests. The changed script lines update runner labels and comments; they do not add or materially change user-facing errors, alerts, API bodies, or recovery copy. No concrete path from these changes to a cmux end user exists. Provider names and configuration details remain on internal CI/docs surfaces, which the rule allows.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The diff changes only CI runner configuration, overflow-switch code, operational CI documentation, and tests. It adds no Swift UI text, app catalog or Info.plist entry, web UI/API copy, changelog, or locale-specific message. The changed runner descriptions and CI documentation are operational content, which the rule explicitly allows.

Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only runner configuration, workflow YAML, documentation, Python code, and Python tests. The changed-file inventory contains no Swift or SwiftUI files, and the diff introduces no SwiftUI state, layout measurement, lazy-row store reference, or render-time mutation.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

PASS: The reviewed diff changes CI runner configuration, workflow YAML, Python overflow-switch logic, documentation, and Python tests only. It contains no Swift, SwiftUI, AppKit, or Swift lifecycle code, so it does not introduce any failure condition from the Swift architectural rethink rule.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts

Explanation

PASS: The reviewed diff changes only JSON, YAML, Markdown, Python, and test files. It contains no Swift changes and therefore adds or changes no cmux-owned auxiliary windows or close-shortcut ownership.

Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts

Explanation

The pull request changes only existing hand-written configuration, workflow, documentation, script, and test files: .github/runners.json, .github/workflows/ci-cloud-overflow-probe.yml, docs/ci-runners.md, scripts/ci/cloud_overflow_switch.py, and three test files. The diff adds no logs, screenshots, recordings, temporary or cache directories, dependency checkouts, build output, or copied artifacts. The changes have deliberate CI, documentation, and test-system reasons under the rule.

Full details: Cmux No Test Or Debug Seam In Production Source

Explanation

The pull request changes only runner configuration, documentation, Python scripts, and Python tests. The authoritative diff contains no Swift files under a production Sources/ path, so it cannot introduce a test or debug seam covered by this check.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description gives detailed problem, implementation, performance, follow-up, and overlap context, but it does not follow the required template. It omits the Testing, Changelog, Proof, and Checklist sections, and it does not clearly state executed test commands or observed results.

Resolution

Add the required sections. Include the tests and commands that ran, their results, and any unverified items under Testing; add a one-line Changelog entry or state none; add a CI-only Proof statement; and include the applicable Checklist items with accurate completion status.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 14.29% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 7 functions across 4 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Route trusted jobs away from a stalled 4 vCPU label.

When blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404 stalls and blacksmith-16vcpu-ubuntu-2404 starts, the probe outcome is partial. The switch then writes nothing, so CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER stays on its 4 vCPU fallback. The trusted selectors reject 16 vCPU, so trusted merge-gating jobs remain queued. The docs assign per-size moves to the RUNNER_POOLS reconciler, but that reconciler does not read or write CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER. Give CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER a failover path that the switch can select while 4 vCPU stalls. Until then, the documented workaround is to set CI_TRUSTED_RUNNER to ubuntu-24.04 by hand.

Note: this behaviour predates this PR (already present at merge base 183d315a8d6a); the change keeps it reachable.

Update the linux pool table and the restore note to match the 4/16 vCPU pool.

Line 995 still lists 32 then 16 vCPU. .github/runners.json and PROBE_LABELS now list 4 then 16 vCPU. Line 1139 calls blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404 unprobed, but that size is now probed, so a 4 vCPU value is restored when its probe started.

Suggested fix for the pool table

-| `linux` | Blacksmith 32 vCPU, Blacksmith 16 vCPU |
+| `linux` | Blacksmith 4 vCPU, Blacksmith 16 vCPU |
