fix(runner): stage error diagnostics outside the checkout, in all four runners - #3212
Conversation
…r runners The last in-checkout artifact, and the one the new guard had to be told to tolerate. `error-diagnostics/` is created in the checkout ROOT by all four registered runners (codex, claude, cursor, gemini) and only ever feeds the `actions/upload-artifact` step below it. It has never actually been committed, and the reason is the problem: the commit step that runs `git add -A` minus a hand-curated exclusion list happens to run FIRST. That is step ORDERING, not a safety property. Reorder the steps, or add a second commit step later in the job, and this becomes PR #3210's langsmith-fleet-worker-attempt.json defect — which reached six consumer repos and produced add/add conflicts on a path nobody authored. So it moves to `$RUNNER_TEMP`, which is wiped between jobs and is never part of the repository. Same fix as #3210, same reasoning: remove the class rather than extend a list somebody has to remember. The upload step accepts any path, so nothing about the artifact's contents, name or retention changes. `KNOWN_IN_CHECKOUT` is now EMPTY, and the coupling that forced it is the point: moving the path made the allowlist entry stale, and `test_known_in_checkout_has_no_stale_entries` failed on it unprompted before I touched the test. The comment left in its place says what a future entry must carry — what makes a path SAFE ("git can never see it"), not merely that it is safe today ("nothing commits after it"). Scope note: cursor and gemini were fixed too, though the guard did not previously look at them. It now derives its targets from the live agent registry, so all four are covered and a fifth runner is covered on the day it is registered. Verified: YAML parses for all four; the extracted diagnostics script passes `bash -n` for all four; the 10 guard tests pass. Break -> revert demonstrated on gemini specifically (the runner the gate previously missed): restoring `path: error-diagnostics/` failed `test_every_uploaded_artifact_is_uncommittable[reusable-gemini-run.yml]`, and the revert was byte-identical.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe reusable Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini workflows now stage error diagnostics under runner temporary directories. Diagnostic files and artifact uploads use those paths. The checkout artifact test no longer permits ChangesDiagnostic staging and artifact handling
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change moves runner diagnostics outside the checkout, but PR-numbered Codex failures can still omit their output from the uploaded diagnostics, and the guard does not verify the producer directory itself.

Copy the PR-specific Codex output.
When PR_NUM is set, Run Codex writes codex-output-${PR_NUM}.md. This condition checks only codex-output.md, so the error-diagnostics artifact omits the output for every PR-numbered Codex failure. Iterate over codex-output*.md or derive the same filename used by OUTPUT_FILE.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Verify the diagnostics producer path, not only the upload path.
This guard parses actions/upload-artifact paths but does not inspect the workflow's DIAG_DIR assignment. A future workflow could write error-diagnostics/ in the checkout and upload ${{ runner.temp }}/error-diagnostics/; this test would pass while git add -A could commit the local file. Add an assertion for each registered runner that diagnostics are created under ${RUNNER_TEMP:-/tmp}/error-diagnostics.
As per path instructions, changed Python behavior must have accompanying test coverage.

Follow-up to #3210, closing the last in-checkout runner artifact — and the one the guard added there
had to be told to tolerate.
error-diagnostics/is created in the checkout root by all four registered runners (codex,claude, cursor, gemini) and only ever feeds the
actions/upload-artifactstep directly below it.Why it needed fixing even though it has never actually been committed
Because of why it hasn't been. In every one of the four, the commit step that runs
git add -Aminus a hand-curated
git reset HEAD --list happens to run first:git add -Amkdir error-diagnosticsThat is step ordering, not a safety property. Reorder the steps, or add a second commit step
later in the job, and this becomes #3210's
langsmith-fleet-worker-attempt.jsondefect — whichreached six consumer repos and produced add/add conflicts on a path nobody authored.
So it moves to
$RUNNER_TEMP: wiped between jobs, never part of the repository. Same fix as #3210,same reasoning — remove the class rather than extend a list somebody has to remember.
upload-artifactaccepts any path, so the artifact's contents, name and 30-day retention are unchanged.
The allowlist emptied itself, which was the design
KNOWN_IN_CHECKOUThelderror-diagnostics/with the reason "its step runs AFTER the commit step,so
git add -Anever sees it." True — and the wrong kind of reason. Moving the path made thatentry stale and
test_known_in_checkout_has_no_stale_entriesfailed on it before I touched thetest. The allowlist is now empty, with a comment saying what a future entry must carry: what makes
a path safe ("git can never see it"), not merely that it is safe today ("nothing commits after
it").
Scope
cursor and gemini are fixed too, though the guard did not previously look at them — it now derives
its targets from the live agent registry (
.github/agents/registry.yml), so all four are covered anda fifth runner is covered the day it is registered.
