Change

.github/workflows/ci.yml now groups pushes to main the way oh-my-openagent's ci.yml does:

  • one concurrency group per ref (validation-${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }});
  • cancel-in-progress is still github.event_name == 'pull_request'.

So a push run of main is never cancelled. The running one finishes, and GitHub keeps only the newest waiting one, which covers the merges in between.

scripts/ci-concurrency.test.ts pins the new values.

Why

#1589 grouped each push to main by its own commit, so every merge's main run finished and a red main named its merge. It counted the cost as none because Linux jobs ran on GitHub-hosted runners then.

Since 2026-10-22 the self-hosted runners are back on (CI_SELF_HOSTED_LABELS), and that cost now lands on the PC:

  • 9 merges in one afternoon queued 9 full main runs.
  • Each takes runners and one of the PC's 3 shared check slots from open pull requests: 19 of 22 recent heavy lanes logged "the 3-run limit is reached" before they started.
  • Pages refused to deploy each run that main had already moved past ("Refusing to deploy outdated SHA").

Trade-off

In a burst of merges, a merge whose run was still waiting gets no run of its own. The newest run covers it, so a red main names the merges since the last green run rather than one merge. Merges spaced further apart than one CI run each still get their own run.

Unchanged:

  • Pull requests still cancel their superseded run.
  • Release and Pages call ci.yml through workflow_dispatch, which already used the ref group and is never cancelled.
  • windows-install.yml has no push trigger.

Validation

  • bun run check fast passes (actionlint, and scripts/ci-concurrency.test.ts with the new values).
  • Read against pages.yml and release.yml. pages.yml is the only workflow that waits on CI, and it deploys only a successful run of main.

CI only; no changelog fragment.

#1589 gave every push to main a concurrency group of its own commit, so each merge's main run finished and a red main named its merge. It counted the cost as none because Linux jobs ran on GitHub-hosted runners then. The self-hosted runners are back (CI_SELF_HOSTED_LABELS), and nine merges in one afternoon queued nine full main runs that took the PC's runners and its three check slots from open pull requests; Pages also refused each run main had already moved past.

main's runs now share one group, as in oh-my-openagent's ci.yml: the running one finishes, GitHub keeps only the newest waiting one, and that run covers the merges in between. A run of main that fails still names the merges since the last green one. Pull requests still cancel superseded runs; Release and Pages call ci.yml through workflow_dispatch, whose ref group is unchanged. scripts/ci-concurrency.test.ts pins the new values.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated CI run grouping so pushes and other events use the same workflow-and-branch grouping. For pushes to main, a running run continues while only the newest waiting run is retained; pull-request cancellation behavior is unchanged.
  • Tests
    • Updated CI concurrency checks to reflect the new grouping behavior.

CI runs now share a concurrency group based on workflow and ref. Pull-request cancellation remains enabled. The concurrency test checks the updated group key and retains its pull-request grouping assertion.

Comment thread .github/workflows/ci.yml Resolved
A manual CI run on main shared the push group and could replace a waiting push run; Pages deploys only a successful push run, so that commit would not deploy. workflow_dispatch runs, including Release's and Pages' calls, now append -manual to the group.
…nning one

Review of this PR: the comment and test name said a push run of main is never cancelled, but a newer push cancels the waiting one, and Pages relies on that cancelled result to skip building. docs/development.md still said main's CI validates each push; it now describes the shared group and that re-running an older main run cancels the newer waiting one.

CodeRabbit reviewed the first commit (1 finding) and skipped the later pushes. Because this PR changes a workflow, a code-review agent reviewed the whole PR as well: APPROVE after the fixes below.

What it checked

  • Push runs: main's push runs share validation-CI-refs/heads/main and are never cancelled while running; a newer push replaces the waiting one.
  • PR runs: each PR keeps validation-CI-refs/pull/N/merge and still cancels its superseded run.
  • Manual and called runs: a manual CI run gets -manual. Pages' and Release's validate calls get validation-Website-…-manual and validation-Release-…-manual, so none of them can cancel or be cancelled by CI's push or PR runs.
  • Pages: a cancelled push run's Website run skips build and deploy. The newest successful push run deploys and passes the latest-SHA check.
  • Release: two Release runs still queue in the release group.
  • Tests: bun test scripts/ci-concurrency.test.ts scripts/pages-gate.test.ts: 50 pass.

Findings and how each was resolved

  1. CodeRabbit, minor. A manual run on main could replace a waiting push run that Pages deploys from. Fixed in 1b3be83: workflow_dispatch runs append -manual to the group.
  2. Review, should-fix. The comment and test name said a push run of main is "never cancelled", but a newer push cancels the waiting one. Fixed in 453197e (ci.yml, scripts/ci-concurrency.test.ts).
  3. Review, should-fix. docs/development.md said main's CI validates each push. Fixed in 453197e: it now describes the shared group, the deploy rule, and that re-running an older main run cancels the newer waiting one.
  4. Review, note. scripts/release-guards.ts's header still says "main's push of its merge". Left as is: the PR's own CI and the Release preflight still run the guards.
