[low] edge-case
Minor behavioral change for workflow_dispatch and schedule events: each run now gets a unique concurrency key (run-<RUN_ID>), so two dispatches on the same commit SHA will no longer share a concurrency group. The old workflow-level block keyed on github.sha. In practice this is unlikely to matter — workflow_dispatch is rare and the old cancel-in-progress was only true for pull_request events.

GitHub Actions merge_group concurrency cancel-in-progress required checks canceled merge queue workflow
💡 Result:
GitHub's merge queue does not automatically cancel in-progress workflow runs when they become obsolete (e.g., due to queue reordering, PR updates, or PR removal) [1][2]. While you can use the concurrency key to manage workflow execution, configuring it incorrectly for merge queues can lead to unintended consequences, such as prematurely cancelling valid merge queue runs [3][4]. Key Considerations: 1. Risk of Automatic Cancellation: If you use a broad concurrency group (e.g., one that includes github.ref) and enable cancel-in-progress: true, the merge queue's internal processes may trigger run cancellations [3][4]. Because the merge queue interprets a cancelled status as a failure, this can unintentionally kick a pull request out of the merge queue [3][4]. 2. Obsolete Run Accumulation: Because GitHub does not automatically clean up runs that become orphaned when a merge group batch is re-formed or invalidated, these runs can continue to consume runner minutes and concurrency slots until they finish [1][5][6]. Recommended Approaches: To manage these orphaned runs effectively, many teams implement custom "reaper" workflows rather than relying on standard concurrency blocks [1][5][6]. - Dedicated Cleanup Workflow: Create a separate workflow triggered by the merge_group event (specifically when a merge group is destroyed) or on a schedule (e.g., every 15 minutes) [1][6]. This workflow uses the GitHub API to identify and cancel workflow runs whose associated merge queue branch (e.g., gh-readonly-queue/...) no longer exists [5][6]. - Concurrency Best Practices: - Avoid blanket cancel-in-progress for merge_group events if your group key is not strictly unique to that specific attempt [3][4]. - If you use concurrency for standard pull_request events, ensure your configuration explicitly excludes or handles merge_group events differently to prevent the "kicked out of queue" bug [3][4][7]. - Example logic for conditional cancellation: concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }} cancel-in-progress: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' || (github.event_name == 'push' &&!startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')) }} [3] By isolating cleanup logic from your primary CI workflow, you avoid the risk of accidentally cancelling valid merge queue operations while still reclaiming wasted resources [1][5].

Use unique concurrency groups for merge_group.
When a queued PR is rebased, the extracted pr-<number> stays unchanged. The new run therefore shares the same group and can cancel the earlier run before it reports required checks. Use github.run_id for merge_group and cancel stale queue revisions separately.

…ests/pre-commit PR osac-project#418 correctly runs the full Unit Tests and Integration Tests suites on merge_group -- that behavior is unchanged here and stays exactly as osac-project#418 intended. The actual problem is narrower: none of unit-tests.yml, integration-tests.yml, or pre-commit.yaml cancel a stale run when GitHub's merge queue rebases a PR onto a new ephemeral gh-readonly-queue ref, which happens routinely as normal merge-queue behavior. Every rebase spawns a brand-new full run of these 3 workflows for that PR; the previous run for the now-superseded ref keeps consuming a runner until it finishes naturally. Confirmed live: 13 concurrent Unit Tests runs and 10 concurrent Integration Tests runs against only 4 active merge-queue slots (max_entries_to_build: 4, via the rulesets API) -- consistent with a handful of PRs each stacking up multiple stale, uncancelled reruns from repeated rebases. Also confirmed this repo's actual hosted-runner concurrency (~30-40 in use) is nowhere near the plan's 180-job ceiling, so a hard concurrency limit is not the bottleneck -- the queue stalls because cheap, load-bearing jobs (label-gate, auto-queue, Slash Command) get starved behind piles of stale heavy runs, not because of a runner cap. integration-tests.yml already had a concurrency block, but it keyed non-PR events on github.sha (the merge-preview commit), which changes on every rebase -- so the group itself changed every rebase and could never collapse a prior run even with cancel-in-progress true. unit-tests.yml and pre-commit.yaml had no concurrency block at all. Fix: key the concurrency group on something that stays stable across rebases of the same PR. github.ref_name for a merge_group event is GitHub's ephemeral gh-readonly-queue/<base>/pr-<number>-<sha> ref -- the pr-<number> segment is constant across rebases; only the trailing sha changes. Verified this directly against this repo's own run history (gh api repos/osac-project/osac/actions/runs?event=merge_group): PR osac-project#503 was requeued at gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-503-b2986acb...61 and .../pr-503-f05965f9...53 sixteen minutes apart; PR osac-project#307 similarly at .../pr-307-18b1c7ed...58 and .../pr-307-0c86346b...c1 -- both pairs extract to the identical "pr-503"/"pr-307" via `grep -oE 'pr-[0-9]+'` despite the trailing sha differing every time. Workflow-level `concurrency:` blocks are evaluated before any job runs and can't reference a computed value, so this can't be done as a single top-of-file block. Instead, each file computes the key once (in the existing `changes` job for unit-tests.yml/integration-tests.yml; in a new tiny `concurrency-key` job for pre-commit.yaml, which has no `changes` job) and each actual test-execution job gets its own job-level `concurrency:` block referencing that computed output -- job-level blocks can reference `needs.*.outputs.*`. Nothing from the previously-closed osac-project#544 approach is reintroduced: no compile-check job, no gating the heavy test jobs off of merge_group. Test execution behavior (what runs, on what trigger, with what coverage) is completely unchanged on all 3 files -- this only cancels superseded/stale runs of the same PR's own prior queue entry.
Fixes real issues raised on the PR, verified against actual GitHub
Actions semantics before applying:
- The merge_group key extraction (`grep -oE 'pr-[0-9]+'`) had two real
gaps in all 3 files: (1) if the ref ever contained more than one
pr-<digits>-shaped substring (e.g. a base branch itself named
pr-99-something), grep -o would emit multiple lines and corrupt the
key; fixed with `tail -1` to always take the rightmost match, which
is the one GitHub actually appends. (2) GitHub Actions runs `run:`
steps with `set -eo pipefail`, so a ref that doesn't match the
expected shape at all would make grep exit 1 and abort the whole
step under `-e`, cascading to skip every downstream test job via
`needs: changes` -- added an empty-key fallback to `run-<run-id>` so
an unexpected ref degrades to "don't cancel" instead of crashing the
workflow.
- pre-commit.yaml's new key-computation job had no `permissions:`
block, so it inherited the repo's default GITHUB_TOKEN scope for a
job that does no checkout and makes no API calls. Added
`permissions: {}`.
- Renamed pre-commit.yaml's new job from `concurrency-key` to
`compute-concurrency-key` -- it was colliding in name with the step
id used for the same computation inside unit-tests.yml/
integration-tests.yml's `changes` job, at a different hierarchy
level (job vs. step), which was genuinely confusing to read across
the 3 files side by side.
Not changed, with reasoning:
- The protected-path/no-linked-issue note is a process gate already
satisfied by human review (approved, lgtm applied).
- Per-file concurrency-group naming conventions differ between
unit-tests.yml (run-<job>-) and integration-tests.yml
(integration-<component>-) -- cosmetic, no functional effect, left
as-is rather than expanding this PR's diff for a rename.
- Extracting the duplicated key-computation script into a shared
composite action (matching setup-go/setup-python) is a reasonable
future cleanup, deferred to keep this already-reviewed PR's diff
minimal rather than reopening review scope on an active capacity fix.

Rebased onto current `main` (was 111 commits behind) — clean rebase, no conflicts in the 3 touched workflow files, YAML/actionlint still clean, no other change on main has touched these concurrency blocks in the interim. Confirmed the underlying bug is still live on `main` today: `unit-tests.yml` and `pre-commit.yaml` still have zero concurrency control, and `integration-tests.yml` still only has the old workflow-level block keyed on `github.sha`. Addressing CodeRabbit's two review comments: Sep 2 (blocking): "use `github.run_id` for merge_group events instead" — this would defeat the entire point of the PR. `run_id` is unique per run, so keying on it means concurrent runs never share a group and nothing ever collapses — that's exactly the pileup this PR fixes (13 concurrent Unit Tests runs / 10 Integration Tests runs against 4 merge-queue slots, per the PR description). The whole design is to key on the stable `pr-` segment extracted from the ephemeral `gh-readonly-queue//pr--` ref specifically so repeated rebases of the same PR collapse into one another. Dismissing this one — not applying it, since applying it would reintroduce the bug this PR fixes. Aug 27 (informational): stale `changes` job could theoretically cancel a newer run instead of an older one — this is a real, narrow race: the job-level concurrency key is only known once `changes` completes, so out-of-order completion of that step could in principle let a stale run's keyed job win the cancellation race against a newer one. The window is small (`changes`/`dorny/paths-filter` runs in seconds), and critically, even in that worst case you still end up with exactly one run per key instead of an unbounded pileup — so it's a strict improvement over the current state regardless of which run wins the race. Not fixing it here: the fix (e.g. a freshness gate comparing run/queue timestamps before proceeding) adds real complexity for an edge case that's still strictly better than today's guaranteed resource exhaustion. Happy to file a follow-up if it turns out to matter in practice. |

…e labels check-labels read LABELS from github.event.pull_request.labels -- a snapshot frozen at the moment that specific webhook fired. Prow-style bots apply lgtm, approved, and jira/valid-reference as three separate `labeled` events in quick succession, so each event's own payload only reflects whatever labels existed at that exact instant, not the final set. That's the "fails once or twice, passes a few seconds later on the last labeled event" pattern seen repeatedly across PRs this session (osac-project#896, osac-project#550, osac-project#798, osac-project#768, osac-project#707, osac-project#688, osac-project#927-930, and others) -- not really a race so much as every non-final labeled event being guaranteed to see a partial label list. Fetches the live label list via `gh pr view` instead (pull-requests: read is already granted at the job level), so every run sees the same label set the PR actually has by the time it executes, instead of only the run triggered by the last label to land. Retries the live fetch up to 3 times (matching the existing go mod download retry convention in .github/actions/setup-go/action.yaml): GitHub Actions runs steps under `bash -e` by default, so an unretried transient API failure (we've hit GitHub API 502s/504s ourselves multiple times this session) would abort the whole step with a raw error instead of the clear "missing labels" message -- trading the old flakiness for a new one instead of fixing it.

unit-tests.yml,integration-tests.yml, orpre-commit.yamlcancel a stale run when GitHub's merge queue rebases a PR onto a new ephemeralgh-readonly-queueref -- normal, routine merge-queue behavior that will keep happening regardless of the ref-staleness git-clone incident fixed separately. Every rebase spawns a brand-new full run of these 3 workflows for that PR; the previous run for the now-superseded ref is not cancelled and keeps consuming a runner until it finishes naturally.Confirmed live: 13 concurrent Unit Tests runs and 10 concurrent Integration Tests runs against only 4 active merge-queue slots (
max_entries_to_build: 4, confirmed viagh api repos/osac-project/osac/rulesets) -- consistent with a handful of PRs each stacking up multiple stale, uncancelled reruns from repeated rebases. Also confirmed this repo's real hosted-runner concurrency (~30-40 in use) is nowhere near the plan's 180-job ceiling, so a hard concurrency limit is not the bottleneck here -- the queue stalls because cheap, load-bearing jobs (label-gate,auto-queue, Slash Command) get starved behind piles of stale heavy runs, not because of a runner cap.integration-tests.ymlalready had aconcurrency:block, but its non-PR fallback key wasgithub.sha-- the merge-preview commit, which changes on every rebase. So the group key itself changed every rebase and could never collapse a prior run even withcancel-in-progresstrue formerge_group.unit-tests.ymlandpre-commit.yamlhad noconcurrency:block at all.The fix, and why the key is actually stable
github.ref_namefor amerge_groupevent is GitHub's ephemeralgh-readonly-queue/<base>/pr-<number>-<sha>ref. Thepr-<number>segment is constant across rebases of the same PR; only the trailing sha changes.Verified directly against this repo's own run history (

pr-503/pr-307/pr-502viagrep -oE 'pr-[0-9]+', despite the trailing sha differing every time -- this is the key that actually collapses repeated rebases.Workflow-level
concurrency:blocks are evaluated before any job runs and can't reference a computed value, so this can't be a single top-of-file block (GitHub Actions expressions have no substring-extraction function to pullpr-<number>out of the ref inline). Instead:unit-tests.yml,integration-tests.yml: the existingchangesjob gets one new step that computes the stable key (pr-<number>forpull_request, the extractedpr-<number>formerge_group,run-<id>as a no-op fallback forschedule/workflow_dispatch) and exposes it as a newconcurrency-keyoutput.

No application or public API behavior changes. CI behavior changes only for overlapping pull-request and merge-group runs. End-to-end cancellation during an actual merge-queue rebase remains unverified.
Risk classification
risk:show — The change affects CI execution and can cancel in-progress workflows, but it does not change application behavior, deployment behavior, public APIs, or test coverage. It was close to risk:ship because the scope is limited to workflow configuration, but unverified merge-queue cancellation behavior requires visible review.
