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 views in agent hosts
# The engine's answers drawn as interactive views inside an agent host, through
# the Model Context Protocol's extension for them (wai/wai-quantum/src/engine/views.rs,
# the page in wai/wai-quantum/views/, the engine inside it in wai/wai-quantum-views/,
# the views themselves in wai/quantum-studio/src/views/):
# - the committed page is built from its sources as they are (build-views.mjs
# --check), and rebuilt here: its script and styles to the same bytes. The
# engine inside it is compiled from wai-quantum, and LLVM lays the same code
# out differently once anything else in that crate changes, so its bytes are
# compared and a difference is a warning to rebuild, not a failure: the
# scripted host below holds the committed page's engine to the receipts the
# current servers seal;
# - the engine inside the views checks a receipt as the engine does, and
# engine::views gives the resources, the tool map, each view's data and its
# answer in plain words, every view within the size limit;
# - a scripted host draws every view from both MCP servers in a headless
# browser (test/views.test.mjs): under the extension's default
# content-security policy, which refuses WebAssembly, the receipt is checked
# in the view by the engine translated to JavaScript, and with WebAssembly
# allowed, by the WebAssembly; a changed result fails the check; the view's
# own tool for a running job is kept from the model; no view makes a request.
