User description

Runs on main finish out of order. On 2026-10-13 the tip's green run 38437403981 (c67fd99) closed #3099 at 17:27Z, and the older d3fda69 run 38434332110 finished at 17:33Z and reopened it for a failure main no longer had.

Change: main-failure-routing reads main's current tip (repos.getBranch) before touching any issue. If the run's github.sha is not the tip, it logs and returns, whether the run was red or green. A superseded run still shows red or green in its own checks. It just doesn't speak for main. Fails open: if the tip can't be read, it routes as before, so an alert is never lost.

Trade-off: a green re-run of a superseded commit no longer closes the issue. Only the tip's run does.

Tests: tests/ci-main-failure-routing.test.ts now pins the tip comparison, its position before any issue read, close or reopen, and the fail-open path. 22/22 pass locally. Non-blocking follow-up. Auto-merge is not enabled.


Summary by cubic

Prevents stale runs on main from opening, closing, or reopening the pinned main-failure issue when they finish after a newer run has already routed. Runs finish out of order: on 2026-10-13 the tip's green run closed #3099, then an older red run reopened it minutes later.

main-failure-routing now records the commit each run routes as a stamp in the issue body and orders by it: a run whose commit is behind the last routed one stands down, and one ahead speaks, so a merge streak can't suppress alerts. No concurrency group is used — that would keep the pending job in run-finish order and could cancel a newer commit's routing — instead the stamp is re-read right before each write so the check and the mutation can't interleave. It fails open: if the ordering can't be read, it routes as before so an alert is never lost.

Bug Fixes

  • A superseded green run no longer closes the issue; only the newest run to report does.
  • Pins the clock in the team-calendar give-away test; it otherwise flips to the urgent path from 14 Oct 2026 and fails on every run.
  • Tests execute the script against a compareCommits mock, covering the fail-open path, the merge-streak case, and the re-check-before-write block.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Prevent stale CI runs from changing the main-failure issue

What Changed

  • Runs older than the commit already recorded on the issue no longer reopen, update, or close it.
  • Green runs record their commit even when the issue is already closed, preventing an older failure from reopening it.
  • A run can still report a failure if no newer commit has been routed; if commit ordering cannot be checked, the alert still routes.

Impact

✅ Fewer stale main-failure alerts
✅ Green main stays clear of older failure reports
✅ Alerts retained during rapid merges

Runs on main finish out of order. On 2026-10-13 the tip's green run (c67fd99) closed #3099 and the older d3fda69 run, finishing six minutes later, reopened it for a failure main no longer had. The routing job now reads main's current tip and leaves the issue alone when its run is superseded; it fails open if the tip cannot be read.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Outdated CI runs now leave an issue unchanged when its recorded commit is newer. If commit ordering or a fresh issue-state check fails, routing continues.
    • When there is no open owned issue, CI checks the latest closed one: successful runs record their commit there, and failures can reopen it.
    • Issue bodies now record the routed commit when issues are created, updated, reopened, or closed.

Walkthrough

The main-failure workflow compares run commits with the commit recorded on an open or latest closed owned issue. It re-reads issue state before writing, skips runs that are behind, and stamps issue bodies as routing changes issue state.

Changes

Main failure routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Run ordering guard
.github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/ci-main-failure-routing.test.ts, tests/ci-cache-safety.test.ts
The workflow checks the current run SHA against the stamped SHA and re-reads issue state before writing. If the run is behind, it leaves the issue unchanged. Comparison and re-read errors warn and allow routing to continue. Tests cover ordering outcomes, issue-state changes, failures, and the workflow-level concurrency assertion.
Issue commit stamps
.github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/ci-main-failure-routing.test.ts
The workflow stamps issue bodies when it creates, updates, reopens, or closes issues. A green run stamps the latest closed owned issue when no open owned issue exists.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 70.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 3 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Verification Claims

Explanation

The PR description claims “22/22 pass locally” for tests/ci-main-failure-routing.test.ts, but it does not name the exact command or check that produced the result. The changed-file diff adds test cases but contains no exact verification command or Not run statement. This violates the verification-claim requirement.

Full details: Api Route Failure Handling

Explanation

The previous failure remains valid. The changed workflow calls latestClosedOwned() through readIssueState() without a catch, so a GitHub API authentication, rate-limit, timeout, or network error from issues.listForRepo can reject the script before a red run routes an alert (.github/workflows/ci.yml:2362-2382). The new green-path stamp update is also awaited without error handling at lines 2416-2418. Other issue mutations remain uncaught, including the changed update, reopen, create, and comment calls at lines 2422-2504. The tests model successful API calls only and do not cover rejected issue reads or mutations.

Resolution

Add explicit handling for every issue read and mutation in this routing step. Log provider failures and use deterministic fallbacks: treat a failed closed-issue lookup as no previous issue so a red run uses the create path, and call core.setFailed with a clear error when a required mutation cannot complete. Add tests for rejected closed-issue reads, stamp updates, issue updates, comments, and creates.

Prevent superseded main runs from changing the CI failure issue

🐞 Bug fix 🧪 Tests 🕐 20-40 Minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Prevent older main runs from reopening or closing the pinned failure issue after a newer push.
• Preserve alert routing when the current main tip cannot be read.
• Add tests for the tip comparison, issue-access ordering, and fail-open path.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Cancel superseded runs
  • ➕ Could prevent older runs from reaching issue routing.
  • ➖ Would hide useful results from older runs and change CI execution rather than only issue ownership.
2. Recheck the tip before each issue mutation
  • ➕ Would narrow the race if main advances between the initial check and an issue write.
  • ➖ Adds API calls and complexity across the existing open, close, and reopen paths.

Recommendation: Keep the PR's early tip check: it addresses out-of-order completions without suppressing CI results and retains alert delivery when the lookup fails. A second check near writes is worth considering only if the remaining check-to-write race proves significant.

1. A failed second issue read drops red alerts ✗ Dismissed
Description
supersededNow() makes a second issue-list request without catching errors, so a failure there
aborts routing rather than letting the run proceed. If the initial issue read succeeds but this new
read fails, a red run never reaches the code that opens, reopens, or updates the pinned alert.

2. Older runs can leave a false failure alert ✓ Resolved
Description
The main-failure-routing concurrency group keeps only one pending job, replacing it with whichever
job becomes ready next, regardless of commit age. If a newer green run is pending while an older red
run's dependencies finish later, the older job cancels the green job and routes its failure without
any newer routed commit to compare against.

Recent reviewers accepted protections against stale CI writers; pending replacement still lets older
runs suppress newer routing.

PR-#2842
PR-#3394

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The routing job waits for three other jobs before entering its concurrency group, so runs for
earlier commits can reach that group after newer runs. GitHub documents that the default group
retains only one pending job, replaces it when another job queues, and does not guarantee ordering
by workflow dispatch time. The comparison only checks the SHA already stamped on the selected issue;
it cannot account for a newer run whose routing job was canceled before writing that stamp.

🌐 By default, a newly queued job cancels and replaces an existing pending job in its concurrency group; ordering follows when jobs start waiting, not when their workflows were dispatched.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The default concurrency queue replaces a pending routing job based on when jobs become ready, not commit order. An older run can therefore cancel the newer run that would have corrected its alert.

## Fix Focus Areas
- .github/workflows/ci.yml[2221-2226]
- tests/ci-main-failure-routing.test.ts[349-352]

## Recommended Fix
Configure the concurrency group to retain waiting jobs, such as with `queue: max`, while keeping `cancel-in-progress: false`. Update the concurrency test to assert the queue setting; the existing commit comparison can then skip older jobs after newer commits have routed.

3. Older runs can still reopen the alert ✓ Resolved
Description
The new getBranch check authorizes a run once, but the issue reads and mutations occur afterward
without a fresh check or synchronization. If main advances after an older run passes the check, a
newer run can close the issue before the older run resumes and reopens it for its stale failure.
Code

.github/workflows/ci.yml[R2329-2331]

+              const { data: branch } = await github.rest.repos.getBranch({ owner, repo, branch: "main" });

4. Tests miss stale-run suppression ✓ Resolved
Description
The new tests inspect workflow text rather than execute the tip comparison, and runRouting has no
repos.getBranch mock, so its existing executions enter the fail-open catch. If stale-run
suppression is removed or broken, these tests could still pass while an older red run reopens the
issue.

Recent precedents favor executable regression tests over source-text assertions when runtime

PR-#3535

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The new assertions use indexOf, toMatch, and toContain instead of calling runRouting to
exercise the tip comparison. In the execution harness, github.rest defines actions and issues
but not repos, so the branch lookup throws and the workflow's fail-open handler continues through
the old routing path rather than testing suppression.

1. Older runs can still reopen the alert ✓ Resolved
Description
The new getBranch check authorizes a run once, but the issue reads and mutations occur afterward
without a fresh check or synchronization. If main advances after an older run passes the check, a
newer run can close the issue before the older run resumes and reopens it for its stale failure.

+              const { data: branch } = await github.rest.repos.getBranch({ owner, repo, branch: "main" });

Evidence
Push runs have separate concurrency groups and are not cancelled, so their routing jobs can overlap.
The added lookup happens only once before the issue operations; the red path can subsequently reopen
a closed issue.

## Recommended Fix
Ensure issue mutations from main runs are serialized without discarding the latest run, and read the branch tip within that serialized operation before applying a run's result. Add an interleaving test in which main advances after the older run's initial lookup.

2. Tests miss stale-run suppression ✓ Resolved
Description
The new tests inspect workflow text rather than execute the tip comparison, and runRouting has no
repos.getBranch mock, so its existing executions enter the fail-open catch. If stale-run
suppression is removed or broken, these tests could still pass while an older red run reopens the
issue.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The new assertions use indexOf, toMatch, and toContain instead of calling runRouting to
exercise the tip comparison. In the execution harness, github.rest defines actions and issues
but not repos, so the branch lookup throws and the workflow's fail-open handler continues through
the old routing path rather than testing suppression.

1. Older runs can leave a false failure alert ✓ Resolved
Description
The main-failure-routing concurrency group keeps only one pending job, replacing it with whichever
job becomes ready next, regardless of commit age. If a newer green run is pending while an older red
run's dependencies finish later, the older job cancels the green job and routes its failure without
any newer routed commit to compare against.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The routing job waits for three other jobs before entering its concurrency group, so runs for
earlier commits can reach that group after newer runs. GitHub documents that the default group
retains only one pending job, replaces it when another job queues, and does not guarantee ordering
by workflow dispatch time. The comparison only checks the SHA already stamped on the selected issue;
it cannot account for a newer run whose routing job was canceled before writing that stamp.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The default concurrency queue replaces a pending routing job based on when jobs become ready, not commit order. An older run can therefore cancel the newer run that would have corrected its alert.

## Fix Focus Areas
- .github/workflows/ci.yml[2221-2226]
- tests/ci-main-failure-routing.test.ts[349-352]

## Recommended Fix
Configure the concurrency group to retain waiting jobs, such as with `queue: max`, while keeping `cancel-in-progress: false`. Update the concurrency test to assert the queue setting; the existing commit comparison can then skip older jobs after newer commits have routed.

CodeAnt Nitpicks

2 code suggestions

1. getBranch and the later issue mutations are separate calls; a push can advance after this check, letting an older red run update the issue after the tip's run.

Race condition · .github/workflows/ci.yml:2329-2337


2. The execution mock lacks rest.repos.getBranch, so it throws into the fail-open path; these text-only assertions never verify that superseded runs skip issue mutations.

CodeAnt PR Risk: Medium Risk

  • The PR needs attention before merging because concurrent runs can still race.
  • The final issue-state re-read is not atomic with the subsequent GitHub update, so a stale run can overwrite a newer run's routed-sha stamp or issue state.
  • The tests cover state changes before the re-read, but not a newer run writing after that check and before the update.

CodSpeed itself reports the base and head were compared across different runtime environments with heavy system-call time, so the rankCatalogRecords -13.7% is a measurement artifact.

The PR changes only ci.yml and a workflow-routing test; the source tree is byte-identical to base 4e63d57, and CodSpeed's own run on main's tip 4e63d57 also failed (-13.96%). The flagged benchmark switched from rankCatalogRecords last run to rankAnswerEvidence now, and CodSpeed warns the comparison spans different runtime environments, so this is measurement noise to acknowledge on CodSpeed rather than anything to fix here.

Auto-fix: 3 checks fail without this pull request. View session →

  • PR required: Fails without this pull request. PR required fails only because the coverage result was failure, which traces to the same roster-team-calendar-manager test already failing on main's tip 6f3712c. It will pass once that test is fixed or updated on main.
  • Unit coverage: Fails without this pull request. This job only aggregates the shard result, and the single failing shard is partition (1), failing on the roster calendar test that also fails on main's tip 6f3712c. Nothing in this PR's CI-only changes affects it.
  • Unit coverage partition (1): Fails without this pull request. The only failing test is tests/roster-team-calendar-manager.dom.test.tsx ("Offer to 1 person" button not found), which this PR doesn't touch. It fails the same way in a checkout of main's tip 6f3712c and on the merge commit; main's own CI skipped unit coverage on that commit, so the break went unnoticed.

A concurrency group keeps one pending job in run-finish order, so an older
run could cancel a newer commit's routing. Order by the routed-sha stamp and
re-read it just before each write instead.

Code review by qodo was updated up to the latest commit d17e7df

The give-away sheet reads the real clock, and the fixture shift (Thu 15 Oct,
09:00 Perth) counts as urgent inside 24 hours, which swaps "Offer to 1 person"
for "I can't make it". The test passed only while the real date was more than a
day before the shift. From 09:00 Perth on 14 Oct 2026 it failed on every run,
turning Unit coverage red on main and on every PR. Date is now pinned to two
days before the shift for that one test.

Status after the latest pushes:

  • bdd16bb ordered routing by the last routed commit and added executed tests; it also added a job-level concurrency group. d17e7df (a separate session) then removed that group, because a concurrency group keeps only the most recently ready job, which follows run-finish order and could drop a newer red run's routing. It re-reads the stamp just before each write instead. My earlier thread replies mention the group; the stamp re-check is what now serialises the read and the write.
  • The remaining red Unit coverage was not from this change. tests/roster-team-calendar-manager.dom.test.tsx started failing on every run from 09:00 Perth on 14 Oct (a date-dependent test, also red on main). b858d07 carries the fix from test(roster): pin the clock in the give-away test so it stops failing every run #3541.

CI failed: The CodSpeed benchmark job failed while uploading results because CodSpeed rejected GitHub OIDC authentication (401: no GitHub App installed on the account or organization); this is unrelated to the PR's main-failure routing changes.

Overview

One unique error template was found across 3 matching logs (12 logs analyzed in total for this commit, 2406032). The failure is isolated to the CodSpeed benchmark step and is an environment/authentication issue rather than a code problem.

Failures

CodSpeed upload rejected with 401 Unauthorized (confidence: high)

  • Type: authentication
  • Affected jobs: 115676512478, 115677129363, 115682024968
  • Related to change: no
  • Root cause: The codspeed run step completed the benchmarks but failed when uploading results. CodSpeed returned 401 Unauthorized for the GitHub Actions OIDC token, stating that no GitHub App is installed on the account or organization.
  • Suggested fix: Install the CodSpeed GitHub App for the repository's account or organization, verify the workflow's CodSpeed integration and permissions, then rerun the benchmark jobs.

Summary

  • Change-related failures: None. The PR only changes CI routing for the pinned main-failure issue, and no evidence links it to CodSpeed authentication.
  • Infrastructure/flaky failures: 1 authentication/configuration failure affecting 3 CodSpeed benchmark jobs. It is not flaky; it is deterministic until the app is installed.
  • Recommended action: Do not change this PR for this failure. Install the CodSpeed GitHub App or fix the workflow's CodSpeed authentication setup, then rerun the benchmark jobs.
Code Review ✅ Approved 4 closed / 4 findings

🟡 Medium risk · CI now stamps commit order and rechecks the pinned issue, but fail-open lookup errors could let stale runs reopen or close an inaccurate alert.

Main-failure routing now stamps the last routed commit on the pinned issue and ignores runs behind it, so out-of-order CI runs can no longer close or reopen the issue incorrectly. The earlier tip-only gate that dropped alerts during rapid merges was replaced, the issue state is re-read before every write, and routing fails open if commit ordering cannot be read. No open issues remain.

✅ 4 closed
✅ Bug: Tip-only gate drops main alerts whenever merges outpace the CI run

📄 .github/workflows/ci.yml:2328-2337 📄 .github/workflows/ci.yml:32-46
Each main push gets its own concurrency group and is never cancelled. The ci.yml comments say runs take up to ~70 minutes and merges often land faster than that. Under this change, a red run for commit A returns early if B was pushed while A was running. B's run returns too if C landed in the meantime, and so on. A regression that stays broken across a busy merge streak never opens the issue until merges pause for a full run. If the newest commit gets no CI run at all (for example [skip ci], or a run that fails at startup and never reaches this job), the alert is lost outright. Since it doesn't throw, the fail-open catch doesn't cover this. The real bug is an older run overriding a newer run that already routed, not "not the tip". A fix: store the routed SHA in the issue body next to MARKER, then call repos.compareCommits({ base: lastRoutedSha, head: headSha }) and skip only when status === "behind".

✅ Quality: New tip gate is only regex-checked; the executed harness never reaches it

📄 tests/ci-main-failure-routing.test.ts:318-332
The runRouting harness's mock github.rest has no repos. So in every executed test, github.rest.repos.getBranch throws a TypeError, which the new catch turns into a fail-open warning. The skip branch and the matching-tip branch never run, and the new tests only pattern-match the script text. Add repos.getBranch to the mock with a configurable tipSha. Then add executed cases: a superseded red run creates nothing, a superseded green run closes nothing, and a getBranch rejection still routes.

✅ Bug: Concurrency queue can cancel a newer commit's routing, dropping alerts

📄 .github/workflows/ci.yml:2221-2226 📄 .github/workflows/ci.yml:2379-2385
A GitHub concurrency group keeps only one pending job. When another job joins the queue, it cancels the pending one. Jobs join in the order their runs finish, not in commit order, and runs finishing out of order is the problem this PR fixes. Here is how it goes wrong: X's routing is in flight; B (the newer commit, red) finishes and queues; then A (an older commit, green) finishes and cancels B's pending job. A then compares itself only against X's stamp. If A is ahead of X, it closes the issue. B's failure is never routed, so the issue stays closed while main is red until the next push. The opposite order (newer green B cancelled by an older red A) leaves a false alert open. The comment saying "the newest run is the one that must speak" is wrong here. "Newest" in the queue means the last to finish, not the newest commit. As a side effect, the cancelled job also marks B's whole CI run as cancelled. Fix options: drop the job-level concurrency and rely on the stamp ordering, re-reading the issue's stamp just before writing (an optimistic check). Or keep the concurrency, but have the job that runs route according to the latest completed CI run for main's tip, not its own run, so a cancelled pending job loses nothing.

✅ Bug: Re-check reads fresh issue state but writes still act on stale existing

📄 .github/workflows/ci.yml:2380-2384 📄 .github/workflows/ci.yml:2394-2397 📄 .github/workflows/ci.yml:2403-2404 📄 .github/workflows/ci.yml:2465-2466
supersededNow() reads the issue list again but only returns a boolean. Every write after it still uses the existing and previous values captured at line 2359/2376. Now that the concurrency group is gone, those values can be out of date by the time the write happens. Two concrete cases:

  1. Issue stays open while main is green. A newer green run R2 reads no open issue, so existing is null and previous is the closed issue. An older red run R1, which is not behind the old stamp, then reopens that issue with stamp R1. R2's re-check finds R2 ahead of R1, so R2 goes on. It takes the !existing path (line 2403) and overwrites the reopened issue's body with the stale closed-issue body. It never closes the issue, so the issue stays open on a green main.

  2. Issue stays closed while main is red. A newer red run R2 reads the open issue as existing. An older green run R1 closes it with stamp R1. R2's re-check passes, and line 2466 updates the body of what is now a closed issue without reopening it. The pinned issue then says main is fine while main is red.

The re-check should rebuild the state the writes depend on: have it return the fresh open and closed issues, then derive existing and previous from those values.
