fix(strix): remove cleanup-runner self-deadlock and reject stale PR evidence

[seonghobae]

Root cause

The previous cancel-superseded-pr-runs job needed an ubuntu-latest runner before it could retire stale Strix runs. Under a saturated hosted-runner fleet, that cleanup job joined the same queue it was meant to relieve. Workflow-level cancel-in-progress: true is not a safe substitute because delayed synchronize or closed events can cancel newer current-head runs without live validation.

Intended repair

• remove the separate runner-backed Strix cleanup job
• retain repository/event-class provider serialization with cancel-in-progress: false
• revalidate live PR state and exact head after runner hardening, immediately before contextual-orchestrator provisioning, and before report/status publication
• make publication revalidation execute under always() and gate report collection/upload on its positive output
• preserve the current-main LLM_TIMEOUT=300 compatibility repair
• retain the central scheduler sweep as the cross-run retirement authority
• remove the temporary repair workflow and trigger after the source fix commits

Safety boundary

This does not claim runner-free cancellation of already queued GitHub jobs. It removes a cleanup job that worsens queue consumption and prevents stale/closed PR runs from performing provider work or publishing authoritative evidence once they obtain a runner and reach the validation boundaries.

Current repair execution

The branch contains a one-shot exact-head reconciler that merges current main, applies the source/test change, runs focused pytest and Strix gate tests, removes itself and its trigger, and pushes the verified source commit. Its current run is queued because the helper still selects ubuntu-latest; the next branch commit changes only that helper selector to ubuntu-24.04 and retriggers it.

Required regressions

• delayed synchronize after a head advance
• closed PR
• current live head
• metadata lookup failure
• head/state change before provider work
• head/state change before publication, including a failed scan followed by always() artifact steps
• repository-level bounded serialization
• LLM_TIMEOUT=300 retention

The PR is not merge-ready until the repair helper has committed the source change, removed itself, focused tests pass, current-head review findings are resolved, and exact-head checks are re-evaluated.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• 개선 사항

  • 닫힌 풀 리퀘스트나 이전 실행을 처리하는 과정이 개선되어 불필요한 무거운 작업 실행을 방지합니다.
  • 실행 전후 주요 단계에서 풀 리퀘스트 상태를 재확인해 오래되거나 유효하지 않은 실행의 결과 게시를 차단합니다.
  • 저장소별 실행이 안전하게 직렬화되며, 모델 사전 점검에 유한한 타임아웃이 적용됩니다.

• 테스트

  • 실행 취소, 동시성 제어, 상태 검증 및 결과 게시 조건에 대한 회귀 검증을 강화했습니다.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8db41

This change removes runner-backed cleanup and aims to prevent stale PR evidence, but the current implementation can still let closed or superseded runs consume provider capacity or publish evidence, while a concurrent head change may cancel the current review run. The PR is not merge-ready until the live-state gates and safe predecessor-retirement behavior are fixed.

@opencode-agent Repair the live #1588 writer branch from exact head d69b9659733f866e1704505489ab266a074ff09b now, using normal non-force commits and preserving concurrent work. Current source has already retired the temporary repair workflows, but two substantive current-head gaps remain and the existing regressions intentionally expose them: .github/workflows/strix.yml still lacks the three live pull-request validation steps that tests/test_strix_control_plane_supersession.py requires, so stale/closed pull_request_target runs can survive runner admission and publish stale evidence; and the unresolved closed-PR review thread remains valid until that source exists. Implement the direct canonical source fix, not another self-modifying helper: (1) immediately after Harden runner and before Set up Python, for pull_request_target only, query the trusted live PR with GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }} and fail closed unless state is open and .head.sha exactly equals the event head; (2) re-run the same live state/head check immediately before contextual-orchestrator/provider provisioning; (3) re-run it under always() immediately before report collection/publication, give it an id/output, and gate collection/upload/status publication on a positive current-head result even when the scan itself failed; (4) preserve repository-level provider serialization with cancel-in-progress:false, no unordered same-PR cancellation, and the current LLM_TIMEOUT=300 compatibility contract; (5) keep the canonical four-file scope unless a directly causal test/doc contract requires otherwise; do not reintroduce temporary source-fix workflows. Run the focused Strix/queue contracts and full applicable suite, then push the exact verified head and update the PR body only after source/check evidence is real.

Strix predecessor retirement를 runner와 독립적으로 연결하십시오.

pull_request_target의 closed 이벤트에서 cancel-closed-pr-runs는 ubuntu-24.04 runner에서 메시지만 출력합니다. scan-pr-queue는 이 이벤트를 건너뜁니다. 따라서 scheduler 실행이 시작되기 전에는 이전 헤드의 Strix 실행이 계속 provider queue와 runner를 점유할 수 있습니다. current-head 실행을 보존하면서 live PR 상태와 exact head를 확인하는 runner-free retirement 경로를 추가하십시오.

Fresh consumer evidence from ContextualWisdomLab/fast-mlsirm#1717@e7797ad444de2d63ba6df49cf8a7ff4508e68d2f confirms the same runner-backed queue failure class at the central required-workflow boundary. Required OpenCode run 33530208522 has both cancel-superseded-opencode-review-runs job 99931152777 and required-workflow-bootstrap job 99931153149 still queued with runner_id=0, no steps, and labels=["ubuntu-latest"]. By contrast, the exact same consumer head's repository-local CI and CodeQL paths pinned to Ubuntu 24.04 reached terminal success. This is pre-runner-assignment control-plane evidence, not a fast-mlsirm source/test failure.

Please treat this as cross-workflow acceptance evidence for the control-plane repair: runner-backed cleanup/bootstrap work must not consume or indefinitely wait on the same saturated legacy selector it is intended to govern; where cancellation/validation can be made runner-free, remove the runner dependency, otherwise bind the central job to the explicitly supported hosted image and preserve live-head validation. After the central protected repair lands, acceptance on the consumer side is a fresh unchanged-head rerun/refetch proving all required central jobs for fast-mlsirm#1717@e7797ad... actually receive a runner and reach terminal conclusions. Do not infer a product-source finding from the current queued jobs.

@opencode-agent Fix the current exact head of this existing writer branch now. Re-fetch the live PR/head first. The exact-head Strix CI regression has already proven three valid missing admission-boundary guards in .github/workflows/strix.yml: live PR/head revalidation immediately after runner hardening, immediately before contextual-orchestrator provider provisioning, and under always() immediately before report/artifact publication. Fail closed on lookup error, non-open state, or head mismatch; add pull-requests: read; gate report collection/upload on the positive publication revalidation output; preserve repository/event-class serialization with cancel-in-progress: false and LLM_TIMEOUT=300. Keep the existing permanent regressions in tests/test_strix_control_plane_supersession.py, run them plus scripts/ci/test_strix_quick_gate.sh, update traceability if required, and remove the inert one-shot repair workflow/script after the permanent source is materialized. Do not transfer predecessor evidence or bypass a substantive failure.

Closing as absorbed/empty after re-fetching against protected main@696852eb44586150a4d9c22cba794b2089a9543a. GitHub now reports changed_files=0, additions=0, deletions=0, and the complete PR diff is empty. The Strix stale-head/control-plane changes this lane was intended to carry have already converged into protected main through later control-plane work, so keeping this PR open would create a full required-workflow fan-out without any source delta. No unique semantic requirement is discarded by closing the empty lane.
