fix(ci): step-scope coalesce tick gate so schedule produces run records - #2232
Merged

Conversation
Job-level `if:` on the coalesce tick suppressed every scheduled workflow run while OPENCODE_REVIEW_COALESCE_ENABLED was false, leaving zero run records and no observability under org queue saturation. Move the gate to step scope and document the 2026-09-17 measurement. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

In @.github/workflows/opencode-review-coalesce-tick.yml:
- Around line 65-69: Move the OPENCODE_REVIEW_COALESCE_ENABLED check to the
coalesce-tick job’s job-level condition, remove the step-level skip gate, and
ensure disabled ticks are skipped before a runner is assigned. Update
test_opencode_review_coalesce_tick.py to verify this structure and correct the
documentation so it no longer claims the job condition suppresses workflow runs.

GitHub Actions job level if false skipped job workflow run record runner allocation scheduled workflow
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In GitHub Actions, when a job-level if condition evaluates to false, the job is marked as "skipped" [1][2]. Crucially, a skipped job does not trigger runner allocation [1][2]. Because no runner is allocated to the job, it does not consume any billable minutes, regardless of the billing plan or runner type [3][4][5]. When a job is skipped: - Status: The job is reported as "skipped," which is generally treated as a successful outcome for the purposes of dependent jobs or pull request status checks [1][6]. - Runner Usage: The job is excluded from the queue, and no compute resources or runners are provisioned or consumed [1][2]. - Billing: Since no runner is active, no billable execution time is accrued [3][5]. This behavior applies to all GitHub-hosted runners, including larger runners [5][7]. You can verify why a job was skipped by viewing the job condition expression logs available in the workflow run summary [8][9].

site:docs.github.com Actions scheduled workflow run job skipped workflow run record job-level if
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In GitHub Actions, you can control whether a job runs using the jobs.<job_id>.if conditional [1][2]. When the expression in an if condition evaluates to false, the job is marked as "skipped" [1][3]. Key characteristics of skipped jobs include: Status Reporting: A skipped job reports its status as "Success" [1][3][4]. Because of this, a skipped job will not prevent a pull request from merging, even if the job is defined as a required status check [1][4][5]. Dependency Handling: If a job depends on another job via the jobs.<job_id>.needs keyword, and the preceding job is skipped, the dependent job will also be skipped by default [2]. To force a dependent job to run even if its dependency was skipped or failed, you must use the always conditional expression within the dependent job's if field [2]. Debugging: If a job is skipped unexpectedly, you can debug the condition by accessing the expression evaluation logs [6][7]. To do this, navigate to the workflow run summary, click on the specific job, download the log archive, and inspect the system.txt file [6][8]. This file will display the "Evaluating" expression, the "Expanded" expression with runtime context values, and the final "Result" [6][8]. Note that job-level if conditions are evaluated before the strategy.matrix is applied [2]. When writing these expressions, the ${{ }} syntax is optional, though it remains mandatory if the expression begins with a special character like!, which is reserved in YAML [2].

비활성 tick에는 job-level 조건을 사용하십시오.
schedule 이벤트는 workflow run을 생성합니다. jobs.coalesce-tick.if가 false이면 job은 skipped가 되고 runner를 할당받지 않습니다. 과거 f9863d941의 job-level 조건은 workflow run을 억제하지 않았습니다.
현재처럼 step-level 조건만 사용하면 runs-on: ubuntu-24.04 job이 시작됩니다. 비활성 tick마다 skip step 실행을 위해 runner를 요청합니다.
