📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds a branch fast-forward workflow that updates target branches from main on every push, and overhauls the PR validation CI workflow to standardize runners, switch to GHCR-based devcontainer builds/runs, add memory monitoring and expanded test jobs, and pin several actions.

- Around line 34-35: Replace the implicit git checkout commands to use explicit
remote-tracking references so the job behaves deterministically: find the
occurrences of git checkout "${TARGET_BRANCH_1}" and git checkout
"${TARGET_BRANCH_2}" and change them to use git checkout -B with the
corresponding origin/<branch> remote-tracking reference (so the checkout resets
or creates the local branch from the remote and fails cleanly if the remote
branch is missing); apply the same change to both places noted in the diff (the
blocks around TARGET_BRANCH_1 and TARGET_BRANCH_2) and keep the existing merge
--ff-only origin/main step as-is.
- Around line 13-19: The fast-forward job can run concurrently and race when
pushing to target branches; add a GitHub Actions concurrency policy under the
fast-forward job (the job named "fast-forward") to serialize runs by grouping on
the workflow+ref (for example use a group derived from github.workflow and
github.ref or github.sha branch ref) and set cancel-in-progress: false so new
runs are queued instead of canceling; add the concurrency block under the
fast-forward job in .github/workflows/ffwd-branch.yaml so TARGET_BRANCH_1 and
TARGET_BRANCH_2 pushes are processed serially.

Self-Review Finding #3: Consolidate duplicated steps (DRY)
The git config, checkout, merge, and push commands are duplicated verbatim across both steps. This should be refactored into a single step with a loop to reduce maintenance burden and prevent accidental divergence when adding more branches.
Also: the step names on lines 30 and 38 have an extra space before the branch variable reference.
Suggested replacement for the entire env + steps section:
env:
TARGET_BRANCHES: backplane-5.0 backplane-5.1
steps:
- name: Checkout repo
uses: actions/checkout@11bd71901bbe5b1630ceea73d27597364c9af683 # v4.2.2
with:
fetch-depth: 0
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Fetch all branches
run: git fetch --all
- name: Fast-forward main commits into backplane branches
run: |
git config --global user.email "41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
git config --global user.name "github-actions[bot]"
for branch in ${TARGET_BRANCHES}; do
echo "--- Fast-forwarding ${branch} ---"
git checkout "${branch}"
git merge --ff-only "${{ github.sha }}"
git push origin "${branch}"
done

Security Review
No additional security vulnerabilities found beyond the self-review findings above. One operational concern:
No failure notification: When --ff-only fails (because someone pushed directly to a backplane branch causing divergence), the workflow fails silently — only a red X in the Actions tab. Consider adding a notification step (if: failure()) to alert the team via Slack or GitHub issue.

Duplicate artifact name test-output will cause upload failures when multiple jobs fail simultaneously.
All three jobs — test-generator (line 146), test-controllers (line 231), and test-samples (line 289) — upload an artifact named test-output on failure. actions/upload-artifact@v4+ (including v7) errors when a same-named artifact already exists in the workflow run. If two or more of these jobs fail in the same run, the second and third uploads will fail, losing those test reports.
🔧 Proposed fix — use unique artifact names per job
In test-generator (line 146):
- name: test-output
+ name: test-output-generatorIn test-controllers (line 231):
- name: test-output
+ name: test-output-controllersIn test-samples (line 289):
- name: test-output
+ name: test-output-samplesAlso applies to: 227-232, 285-290

What this PR does
Adds a GitHub Actions workflow (
.github/workflows/ffwd-branch.yaml) that automatically fast-forwardsbackplane-5.0andbackplane-5.1branches frommainon every push tomain.This ensures backplane release branches stay synchronized with the main branch without manual intervention or merge commits.
