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 fabric's FPGA member, simulated: the gate datapath in Verilog, compiled at
|
|
# run time by Verilator into a cycle-accurate simulation and certified
|
|
# bit-exact against the CPU reference's pinned corpus digests. Its certificates
|
|
# say they were earned in a simulator.
|
|
#
|
|
# - fpga-sim (the macOS runner, which has Verilator and Yosys): the device
|
|
# tests must find exactly the declared simulation, agree with the CPU on the
|
|
# arithmetic probe and on random states (out-of-range runs included),
|
|
# reproduce all four pinned certificates, and catch every datapath mutant;
|
|
# and the datapath must elaborate for synthesis with no latch and no check
|
|
# failure.
|
|
# - fpga-absent (a container with no Verilator): the same build finds no member
|
|
# and says why, rather than failing; the device tests run over no member with
|
|
# the declaration `none`.
