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.

# The fabric's CUDA member: the gate kernel in CUDA C, compiled at run time for
# each device's own architecture and certified bit-exact against the CPU
# reference's pinned corpus digests.
#
# - cuda-hw, on each host with a CUDA GPU (jetson-hub's laptop GPU, compute
# capability 8.9, on x86-64; thor's integrated GPU, compute capability 11.0,
# on aarch64 through CUDA 13.2): 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 tensor-core kernel, every product formed on the tensor cores from 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 (or say it did not), at 16
# and 20 qubits and on random circuits from |0...0> and from a given state,
# every state-vector mutant caught; and sparse Pauli dynamics with its sum of
# terms on the GPU must give the CPU's results and final tables bit for bit
# on its pinned corpus and on large sums, every mutant caught; and jobs placed on the fabric's members found there (the GPU
# by CUDA and by OpenCL, the CPU by OpenCL; on thor OpenCL is PoCL's) must give the CPU's answers byte
# for byte, asked for by key and by `accelerator`, alone and with one state
# split four ways over them and the CPU reference, a state past a member
# refused, a job of wider gates placed only where the wider kernels
# certified, a pauli job on the GPU, and auto keeping every state on the
# CPU, as the committed measurements say for this host.
# - cuda-absent (a container with no GPU and no CUDA libraries): the same build
# finds no member and says why, rather than failing; the device tests run over
# no member with the declaration `none`; and placement with no device, the
# state split over CPU partitions bit for bit the CPU's, every test by name.
