Transaction Science 6517401f01 CI: the gate that decides whether a workflow runs was queued behind the work it gates
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.

name: wai-quantum HIP member
# The fabric's HIP member: the CUDA member's kernel text, unchanged, compiled at
# run time by HIP's runtime compiler for each device's own architecture and
# certified bit-exact against the CPU reference's pinned corpus digests.
#
# - hip-hw (framework-128gb, its integrated GPU): the device tests must find
# exactly the declared device, agree with the CPU on the arithmetic probe and
# on random states (out-of-range runs included), reproduce all four pinned
# certificates (two gatesets, random-v1 and fabric-v1), and catch every
# kernel mutant; the matrix-instruction kernel, every product formed by the
# GPU's bf16 matrix instruction from offset-binary 8-bit limbs, must do all
# of the same under its own implementation id, with its own mutants caught;
# and the dense f64 state vector, run resident (the state on the device for
# the whole run), must come back with the CPU's bits on its pinned corpus,
# on the wider kernels' own corpus, at 16 and 20 qubits and on random
# circuits from |0...0> and from a given state, every state-vector mutant
# caught; and jobs placed on the fabric's members found there (the GPU by
# HIP and by OpenCL) must give the CPU's answers byte for byte, asked for by
# key and by `accelerator`, alone and with one state split over them, a
# state past a member refused, a job of wider gates placed, and auto
# placing a state on the GPU where the committed measurements say it is
# faster here, and on the CPU elsewhere.
# - hip-absent (a container with no GPU and no HIP libraries): the same build
# finds no member and says why, rather than failing; the device tests run over
# no member with the declaration `none`.
