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 neural sink gates
|
|
|
|
# The neural sink refuses some envelopes before it touches a model: a pin that
|
|
# the parameter sets it holds do not satisfy, with SPEC §3.1's reason
|
|
# (ModelRegistry::resolve_verified, decode_envelope, decode_multi), and a `replicate` that
|
|
# SPEC §7 does not back (decode_envelope_strict): over a capability whose registry
|
|
# class cannot back it, or with a prior that is float or absent, or that declares a
|
|
# form not established to reconstruct the same tensors at every reader. Those
|
|
# refusals live behind the
|
|
# `neural` feature, which wai-conformance does not build, and the tests that
|
|
# exercise them need no model, so wai-neural-e2e's reference filter never selects
|
|
# them. This job runs exactly those tests and fails if any of them is not run:
|
|
# a filter that matches nothing reports "0 passed" and exits 0.
|
|
#
|
|
# It also runs the `neural` dispatch tests that need no model download, over the
|
|
# committed int_mlicpp vector and the int_synth corpus: the form-less and set-form
|
|
# pins through the strict gate, the int_synth pin over the spec it reads, the
|
|
# several-file capabilities refusing a form-less pin, a pinned decode reading only
|
|
# the bytes it verified, an unpinned decode at a sink with a key log checked over
|
|
# every identity of what it read once and reading only that (or, holding the
|
|
# capability's sets to §7.9, the part §7.9 authorised), an encrypted envelope inert at the
|
|
# sink (SPEC §6.4 step 2), a WAI2 envelope whose pins pick the held model, the strict
|
|
# rule read for the capability decoded through (a sound fallback behind an unsound
|
|
# primary), SPEC §4 step 6's order of reasons after a set_incomplete decode, and the
|
|
# replicate_* reason the strict WAI2 policy reports for an entry it leaves out,
|
|
# and a candidate held at the sink leaving the strict path's reason unchanged.
|
|
# With `key_discovery` as well, it runs SPEC §3.1's check 5 at the neural sink: a
|
|
# registry given a key log refuses the committed int_mlicpp set once the log revokes
|
|
# its digest, and when the sink holds no fresh status, and decodes it while a grant
|
|
# holds it.
|
|
|
|
# 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.
