Every path-gated workflow begins with one small job -- `does this change touch
it`, or `which workspaces this change touches` for the standards build -- that
all of its real jobs declare in `needs`. All 55 of those gate jobs ran on
`linux-arm64`.
That is the one label the fleet cannot spare. Sampled while 267 runs were
queued, every waiting run had the same shape:
[waiting] linux-arm64 does this change touch it
[blocked] linux member · dataflow device, simulated
[blocked] macos member · dataflow device absent
237 runs, each holding a gate in the longest queue, and every real job blocked
behind it. Not only `linux` jobs: `macos`, `linux-hw`, `linux-arm64-hw` and
`macos-m3-ultra` jobs were blocked too. The measured effect was `linux-arm64`
263 deep against `linux` **zero**, with jetson-hub's 20 cores taking no job for
a full hour -- starved not for want of work but because the work could not be
unblocked. A gate waiting on the resource it is rationing is head-of-line
blocking, and it makes every other runner in the fleet idle on its behalf.
The gates move to `linux`. Nothing else changes: the diff is 55 `runs-on` lines
and no others, and every touched file still parses.
Why `linux` and not elsewhere. The gate is not free -- it compares
`BASE...HEAD`, which needs the merge base, so `fetch-depth: 0` is a full clone
rather than a ten-second script. `macos` is served by hosts on a Mac Studio
sitting at load 185; `linux` is a separate 20-core box that was measurably
empty. This moves a serialisation point to the least contended label; it does
not remove it, and the gate is still a single point of failure for its
workflow. The structural fix is an early-exit first step inside each job, which
costs one checkout per leg and is a larger change.
Follow-up, deliberately not bundled: jetson-hub runs at capacity 2 with 15 GB of
RAM, so 55 clones still serialise two at a time. Raising capacity helps gates
and hurts the heavy emulated-architecture jobs that share the label, so it wants
measuring on its own.

# The `replicate` determinism contract, checked on real silicon. WAI claims its
|
|
# integer-exact decode paths (rANS entropy coder, integer fixed-point synthesis)
|
|
# produce BYTE-IDENTICAL output on every machine. This matrix proves it: every
|
|
# OS/arch leg of the matrix below decodes the same fixtures and asserts the same golden
|
|
# bytes — rANS streams produced by CompressAI's upstream encoder, and an
|
|
# int_synth output hash produced on the reference machine (macOS arm64). One
|
|
# diverging byte anywhere fails the suite.
|
|
#
|
|
# Coverage is still-image AND temporal, classical AND learned: the rANS coder,
|
|
# integer fixed-point synthesis, the JPEG-AI entropy stage, the inter-frame video
|
|
# decoder (`wai.video.int_motion`), and the neural-keyframe variant
|
|
# (`wai.video.int_hyper`) whose I-frame comes out of a learned conditional codec,
|
|
# and the MLIC++-topology codec (`wai.neural.int_mlicpp`), whose entropy network runs
|
|
# before every checkerboard pass and must give every platform the encoder's scale
|
|
# bucket for every element. The learned integer audio and Gaussian-splat attribute codecs
|
|
# (`wai.audio.int_codec`, `wai.splat.int_codec`) decode their committed WIA1 and WIS1
|
|
# payloads to their PCM and attribute digests. The binary payloads SPEC §5 pins (WIV1,
|
|
# WIH1, WIA1, WIS1) are parsed
|
|
# with the wire parser a sink runs and decoded to the same digests, and the staged-delivery
|
|
# residual layers (WIR1) of the staged corpus are applied stage by stage to pinned digests.
|
|
# Video is the strictest leg — inter-frame decode is a
|
|
# feedback loop, so one divergent half-pel rounding does not stay one byte, it
|
|
# predicts the next frame and compounds for the rest of the clip.
|
|
#
|
|
# The conformance crate (`wai/byte-exact-conformance`) #[path]-includes the
|
|
# pure-integer sources from wai-rs — no system codec libraries, no ONNX runtime
|
|
# — so every leg runs in about a minute.
|
|
|
|
# One run per branch at a time. A push supersedes the run before it.
|
|
#
|
|
# There is one `macos` runner and it is the dev Mac, so every macOS job in this
|
|
# repo queues on it. With no concurrency group, a session pushing four versions
|
|
# of a branch queued four complete sets of runs and every one of them had to
|
|
# drain: on 2026-10-05 a PR's 21 contexts settled none in 70 minutes behind a
|
|
# backlog of 25 runs, and the queue grew faster than it cleared. Only the newest
|
|
# commit's verdict is wanted, so the older runs are cancelled.
|
|
#
|
|
# Verified on this forge (Forgejo 16.0.5) in `ci-test` before being added here:
|
|
# the key parses, and a newer push moves an older run to `cancelled` even while
|
|
# it is still queued, which is the case that matters.
|
|
#
|
|
# `cancel-in-progress: true` also applies to `main`. That is deliberate and
|
|
# safe here: main advances by merge commits whose tree contains the commits
|
|
# before them, so the newer run covers the older one's changes.
