ci: stop orphaned apt-get from starving Chromium install retries - #3856
Conversation
The binary e2e and rsc browser e2e jobs failed three times today on the Install Chromium step, in two related shapes: 1. Playwright's internal apt-get hit a lock held by the runner image's own apt activity and failed instantly with "Could not get lock" -- the existing wait_for_apt_locks guard only covers the moment before the install starts, not the apt calls inside it. 2. On a slow-mirror day the 5-minute `timeout` killed the playwright wrapper but not the `sudo apt-get` under it. The orphan kept holding the dpkg locks, so the retry -- and the whole job-level rerun window -- died with "Timed out waiting for apt/dpkg locks". Three changes, applied to both jobs: - a global `DPkg::Lock::Timeout "300"` so every apt invocation, including the ones playwright spawns, waits for a lock holder instead of failing - a reap step between attempts that terminates leftover lock holders and runs `dpkg --configure -a` before retrying, instead of giving up when the locks stay held - more headroom for degraded mirrors: 8-minute install attempts inside a 20-minute step budget, and the lists lock joins the guarded set

How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization. For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window. Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe CI workflow updates Chromium installation in browser and binary E2E jobs. It adds longer timeouts, monitors more package locks, configures dpkg lock waiting, and recovers apt and package state during retries. ChangesChromium installation recovery
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The updated Chromium installation retries can exceed the workflow step deadline and be terminated before the final attempt completes, causing browser E2E jobs to fail despite the recovery logic; merge should wait for the timing budget to be corrected or explicitly accepted.

The configured bounded work already takes 1,250 seconds:

The step can terminate during the final install attempt. Bound recovery time, then reduce the retry budget or increase the step and job deadlines together.

The setup-deno CI contract pins the Install Chromium step deadline and proves the worst-case retry budget fits inside it with 120s of margin. Update the pinned deadline to the new 20-minute budget and rebalance the attempt arithmetic to fit it: 7-minute install attempts and a 60-second pre-install lock wait (the reap step now handles a lock that outlives the wait, so the longer pre-wait bought nothing). Worst case is 1010s against a 1080s allowance.
