Remove dormant and disabled GitHub Actions workflows - #58975
Merged
Conversation
Drop four inactive workflows surfaced by a workflow-activity audit: - assign-reviewers, assign_contributor_issue: manually disabled in GitHub Actions settings. - background_agent_mvp: dormant since 2026-02-24; experimental, manual dispatch only. - randomized_tests: never run; its only trigger is pushes to a branch that is never pushed.
compare_perf, run_unit_evals, and run_cron_unit_evals are xtask-generated and have been dormant for >90 days (manual workflow_dispatch only). Remove their generator modules and registry entries and regenerate, then drop the helpers (vars secrets, steps::git_checkout) left unused by their removal.

…58975) ## Summary Routine housekeeping to remove seven inactive GitHub Actions workflows, surfaced by a workflow-activity review (run history via the Actions API). The removals fall into two groups: - **Four hand-written workflows** that are manually disabled, never run, or long dormant. - **Three xtask-generated workflows** (manual eval/perf tools) dormant for >90 days — removed at the source in `tooling/xtask` and regenerated, with now-unused helper code dropped. Reusable workflows `extension_tests` and `extension_bump` were intentionally **kept** — their low standalone run counts are an artifact of `workflow_call` (they run constantly via `run_tests` and `extension_auto_bump`), so they are not dormant. ## What is being removed | Workflow | Roughly what it does | Author | Last run | Reason | |---|---|---|---|---| | `assign-reviewers.yml` | Auto-assigns reviewers to PRs (via a GitHub App token) | John D. Swanson | 2026-04-17 | Manually disabled in Actions settings | | `assign_contributor_issue.yml` | Assigns/labels contributor issues and notifies Slack | Lena | 2026-05-12 | Manually disabled in Actions settings | | `background_agent_mvp.yml` | Experimental background-agent MVP (manual dispatch; schedule commented out) | morgankrey | 2026-02-24 | Dormant >90 days; experimental, never promoted | | `randomized_tests.yml` | Runs randomized tests via `script/randomized-test-ci` | Max Brunsfeld | never | Never run; only triggers on pushes to a branch that is never pushed | | `compare_perf.yml` \* | Manual perf comparison between two commits for a crate | Conrad Irwin | 2025-11-06 | Dormant >90 days; on-demand tool | | `run_unit_evals.yml` \* | Manual agent unit evals for a given model/commit | Ben Kunkle | 2025-11-14 | Dormant >90 days; on-demand tool | | `run_cron_unit_evals.yml` \* | Agent unit evals across a model matrix (manual dispatch) | Richard Feldman | 2026-01-27 | Dormant >90 days; on-demand tool | \* xtask-generated — removed via `tooling/xtask` and regenerated (commit 2). ## Notes - **Commit 1** removes the four hand-written workflows. - **Commit 2** removes the three xtask-generated workflows: it deletes their generator modules and registry entries, regenerates with `cargo xtask workflows`, and drops the helper code left unused by the removal (`vars` secrets and `steps::git_checkout`). Regeneration is a no-op for all other workflows, and `./script/clippy` (deny-warnings) is clean. Release Notes: - N/A
