Hosted native failure diagnosis, October 24, 2026Head Run 40136984441, iPhone native job 121007185295, failed at 6:44:09 PM EDT after 514 seconds. Its 72.8 MB diagnostic artifact was downloaded and the xcresult, simulator unified log, test receipts and failure attachments inspected.
One unchanged-source reproduction ran on a new air simulator from 7:15:26 to 7:21:38 PM EDT, using the exact committed runner: DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode_26.6.app/Contents/Developer \
python3 scripts/ui_release_shards.py run --family iphone --shard native \
--output /tmp/codexbar-517-native-failure-reproAll five phases passed, comprising two native journeys and three preparation/reset invocations, in 371.546 seconds. Purchase and Restore passed in 24.662 seconds. The proof was checked against the current source fingerprint, Xcode 26.6 / 17F113, SDK 26.5 and iOS Simulator 26.2 / 23C54; owned device shutdown passed. The toolchain records match the failed producer except for the hosted-image identity. This control did not reproduce the hosted failure and does not satisfy hosted acceptance. All five hosted quality jobs and both supplemental workers had passed at intake. Those two workers cover eight journeys each. Original, synthetic and remaining native coverage was still running or queued in that snapshot; no complete 53-journey family or aggregate pass is claimed. Their useful work has not been cancelled. No hosted retry, source change, timeout extension, test skip or gate waiver was made during diagnosis. The original non-passing automatic-cost comparison and later predeclared passing pair remain in the PR unchanged. Next checkpoint is the remaining hosted producer evidence, especially the independent iPad native result. If this remains an isolated native failure after the useful jobs complete, one predeclared targeted fresh-worker replay can test transience. It is not a retry-until-green loop. A repeat failure requires stronger hosted diagnostics before a causal fix. Any changed head will require fresh relevant local checks, current-head Codex review and complete hosted qualification. T3 currently exposes a PR-rollup watch, but no workflow-run subscription. Its required-check wake did not cover this separate dispatch failure. A scheduler webhook is available but requires a configured GitHub event delivery; no webhook, model timer, repository hook, notification job or permissions change was created. Chief owns arranging those manual-run completion/failure events. PR watch alone is not manual-run evidence. Local diagnostic records: |
Additional hosted failures, October 24, 2026The failure set now includes two original UI workers. The earlier conditional idea of an isolated native replay does not apply. Full hosted acceptance remains blocked on head
Both workers failed assertions within their 90-minute limits, rather than timing out. Their receipt failures and missing success proofs were preserved. Metadata, full Xcode logs and receipts were retrieved with capped artifact range reads, 690,316 and 617,392 bytes respectively. The 183,668-byte pre-tap screenshot and 43,460,759-byte Greptile recording were also inspected. The recording confirms that no sheet appeared after the tap. A standalone Swift/XCTest replay using the exact reported A single selected Greptile test is running on air with a new qualified iPad mini / iOS 26.2 simulator and unchanged committed source. Its corresponding full/dark/large-text tile-to-History scenario passed locally; the remaining scenarios in that same test are still executing. This is diagnostic evidence, not a hosted acceptance pass or proof that the hosted failure is fixed. No speculative navigation or StoreKit code change has been made. Useful original, synthetic and native jobs were left running or queued. No hosted replay or new manual dispatch was started. All 53 journey identities and preparation/reset phases remain required. The initial adverse automatic-cost comparison and later passing predeclared pair are retained. Chief is arranging a future manual-only workflow-to-PR event relay separately. It cannot retrofit this dispatch, and no polling loop, model timer or public webhook has been created here. PR watch does not establish this manual run's outcome. |

Final old-run classification: iPad original-2 ran 8 journeys, 6 passed and 2 failed with no skips. Both selectors are the same repaired Grok omitted-zero fixtures: testGrokAndCursorMetersStaySeparateAndNoAllowanceIsUnavailable at old line 100, and testSavedGrokLayoutAndWeeklyStates at old line 392. Both hierarchies show unavailable usage and no weekly tile. The capped producer read retained 624,693 bytes. No distinct new fault was found in this fifth worker. Old run 40136984441 completed failure at 8:12:19 PM EDT, with 7 workers passed and 5 failed. After clean source, exact remote head, clean Codex and successful SwiftLint were rechecked, one normal required full qualification run 40146062194 was dispatched at full head e7ea659 with ui_validation_mode=full. The accepted dispatch and one identity lookup verify this source. All five quality jobs, twelve workers, 53 journeys per family and preparation/reset remain required. This is in progress, not a pass or merge permission. The v2 relay is present; real bot delivery and exact Chief-thread wake remain unproven. No synthetic live comment, special relay dispatch, retry, polling loop, cancellation or old-history rewrite was used. |

Cost comparison setup correction preparedPublic PR head remains The previous pair remains non-passing: baseline48s/43job-seconds on image20261021.0445.8 versus candidate49s/44 on20261013.0424.1. The first57s/54 observation and all older failures remain retained. The prepared control checks actual image, default Xcode/Swift/OS build, architecture/CPU/memory, exact source ancestry and effective automatic workload before lint. Both measurements use the same frozen workflow/controller ref; the baseline checks out exact default-base d58713e, and the candidate keeps its own exact SHA. The candidate must match the successful baseline's toolchain/config fingerprint. Source identity is explicit so a baseline run at the controller SHA cannot be mistaken for current-head source validation. A mismatch refuses the workload, with no retry. Acceptance still uses complete Actions workflow elapsed and summed non-skipped job runtime, including checkout, guards, source switching and setup/cleanup. No tolerance, phase-time substitution or deductions. One pair only after new-head review/ordinary CI and identity prerequisites; no repeated sampling until green. Local evidence:97Python controls pass (11cost-only,4existing automatic policy,82observer/runner/shard), actionlint1.7.12 and diff checks pass. Effective automatic job matches the default-base; removing only the manual cost changes recovers the complete previous workflow byte-for-byte. No Swift/project/entitlement/journey-manifest changes. Automatic PR steps/workload remain checkoutdepth1, pinnedSwiftLint and four policy tests with the same ten-minute ceiling. Full/account-menu modes retain their workloads; cost-only mode skips all native/full jobs. Full observer run40215906682, attempt1 atb65417f, is still completed FAILURE. It cannot qualify the changed source. All current-head connected review, required check, valid cost-pair and full/native requirements remain; no additional full dispatch is authorized here. |

Controlled cost pair: baseline verified, candidate dispatchedThe October 26 stall check found the baseline had already completed without a PR-watch wake. This separate dispatch is not reliably surfaced by the PR required-check rollup. Baseline run 40263990934, attempt 1, passed on October 25 at 11:26:09 PM EDT. The immutable controller is Verified receipt: image After verifying the clean local checkout, exact remote branch/default SHAs, current clean Codex review, green required SwiftLint and no live branch workflow, dispatched the single authorized candidate half: run 40296407578, attempt 1, workflow/controller and intended measured source Budget consumed: one baseline and one candidate dispatch, zero retries, zero new full/native dispatches. Acceptance still requires both complete timing measures not to increase, plus matching successful source/image/toolchain/preparation receipts. Historical adverse pairs remain retained. The prior full hosted run remains failed and does not qualify this head; skipped statuses do not satisfy native gates. No merge or full UI dispatch is authorized by this pending cost result.

The earlier guarded cost-mode pair (54s/50s versus 57s/52s) still counts as a failure. The table above is a separate comparison of ordinary runs.
Still open. Full iOS UI validation (5 quality jobs plus 12 workers) is a release gate under AGENTS.md, not a PR gate. It has not passed on this head. After merge, one manual full run on the main merge commit will qualify both this sharding and main CI.
Summary
Split manual iPhone/iPad qualification into six shards per family, using retained hosted test durations to balance the original 29 journeys into 8, 8 and 13. Supplemental, synthetic commerce and native commerce run separately. Each worker retains its 90-minute limit and qualified Xcode 26.6 / iOS 26.2 runtime. All 53 journeys per family and native preparation/reset remain required.
Repair failures exposed by qualification: tolerate sub-micropoint touch-target rounding, supply an explicit reported zero in zero-usage Grok fixtures while keeping missing percentages unavailable, and wait for the old billing warning to disappear after Reload Sign-In. The production quota parser is unchanged.
Integrate the authorized Chief #40 v2 proposal into the existing manual aggregate. Its exact tested inline script can post a source-linked event hint to the run's matching current open same-repository/default-base PR. Only that aggregate gains PR write permission, including on manual main/no-PR executions. Matrix and automatic jobs receive no new rights. Actual bot comment and exact Chief-thread wake were verified on the previous required run; early failure delivery remains unqualified.
Add fixture-gated producer observations for the remaining native readiness failure. The app reports existing catalog/StoreKit-await/readiness transitions; the unchanged XCTest predicate reports wait boundaries and its first positive observation. A bounded collector binds the owned simulator, source, clocks, run UUID and app/runner PIDs, preserves the original test failure and cleanup, and exports session evidence before final hashing. This is diagnostic instrumentation, not a claimed product repair.
Add an explicit manual cost-only control to reject mismatched runner images/toolchains before lint. Both roles retain the same verified controller outside the checkout, remove the same candidate paths and verify an empty index/worktree before materializing the selected immutable source. Complete Actions elapsed and summed job runtime still include all setup/removal/materialization; there is no tolerance or deducted overhead. Ordinary PR execution remains pinned SwiftLint and four policy assertions; full native validation is unchanged for full mode.
Closes #517.
Acceptance Criteria
Full iOS UI validationpass on this exact candidate.Definition of Done
cb9f1b03397ce1362973fcc56a57c98fc4fd10e6at1:00PM EDT. No duplicate review requested. The earlier independent cost reviews remain historical evidence.Main reconciliation, October26
Resolved the two document conflicts by retaining both changelog entries and the twelve-worker/53-journey instructions. Main’s native expiration test is inherited byte-for-byte. Workflow, phase/shard manifests, observer collector and cost-controller bytes match8befdb5 exactly. Source is clean after a normal merge commit, with no rebase or force push.
Local validation: 149 Python tests passed, covering release/function-risk/CI/shard/cost/observer/account-menu controls; 14 offline relay tests passed. Diff and conflict-marker checks passed. No native execution, cost rerun or full dispatch was performed. The existing failed cost pair57s/52s versus54s/50s remains retained and non-passing; its two authorized dispatches were consumed. Current-head cost and full qualification remain open.

Both removed563 common candidate paths and proved zero index/worktree entries before materialization. No deductions/tolerance, retry, new pair or full/native dispatch. Both authorized pair dispatches are consumed; no passing cost proof exists for this head.
Branch-dispatch correction: the next independent review found that an unset checkout ref leaves the planned branch dispatch attached. Cost mode now explicitly checks out
github.sha; ordinary modes retain the original empty/default ref. The workflow-contract regression fails onbf5e257 and passes here. All30affected controls (16cost,4policy,10shard), actionlint1.7.12 and diff checks pass. At historical8befdb5, independent and connected Codex reviews were clean; zero unresolved threads. Required SwiftLint now passes; the guarded pair above is complete and failed non-increase. No new full/native dispatch has occurred.Cost-control correction: a fresh independent review at local35cbb6f found that switching an already populated candidate tree only charged the baseline for rewriting changed paths. The repair now retains/verifies the controller outside the checkout and materializes both roles from an identical empty tracked-index/worktree state. A new real-Git regression fails on35cbb6f and passes on the repair. Attached branches, changed controller bytes and ignored leftovers refuse qualification.29affected controls (15cost,4policy,10shard), actionlint1.7.12 and diff checks pass. Earlier97Python evidence belongs to35cbb6f; unchanged observer/runner evidence remains historical. A NEW independent Codex/high review covers the complete cost delta at this head; connected review and ordinary CI now pass. The pair above is complete and failed non-increase; no new full/native dispatch has occurred.
The prepared single pair uses exact default-base
d58713e889fbfe3a025f0966cef5345099418e42and this candidate, with the same frozen workflow/controller ref. Actual image/default-Xcode/Swift/OS/architecture/CPU/memory and source receipts must match before the workload. Both complete-run elapsed and summed non-skipped job time must demonstrate non-increase. All prior adverse comparisons remain below. No baseline-source run is accepted as current-head source validation. Native/full qualification remains separately required and undispatched.Observer local evidence: 82 Python controls pass, comprising 37 observer and 45 existing runner/shard tests. Eight new fake-OS fault scenarios fail on saved v1 and pass after independent bounded cleanup/error-precedence repair; the benign absent-group case passes both. The source compiles with complete strict concurrency under qualified Xcode26.6/17F113, SDK26.5 arm64; Release warnings-as-errors passes. All five Swift files are byte-identical to those compiled/strict-linted and exercised by eight standalone fixture-guard checks. Canonical SwiftLint0.65.1 reports zero violations. Workflow/project/manifest bytes, all53 journeys per family, five native phases, original30s wait/predicate/static waiter/assertion/lazy message, and independent payment feedback are preserved. No UI journey or live collector was rerun for this observer patch.
Collector limits are15s/command and60s shared per phase, one final2s cleanup wait,8MiB combined stdout/stderr,32MiB runner-log parse and256MiB/2048 monitored staging entries, with a separate32MiB retained-session cap. Cap/parse/cleanup/write failures cannot qualify success. A prior native65 remains primary over observer failure and reset failure. Timed-out or failed cleanup does not imply the process was successfully reaped. Supplied-ready and first-positive callback are observations, not proof of AX publication or internal SDK fulfillment. Cross-process clock alignment remains bounded by timestamp/offset uncertainty; logging can perturb scheduling. Current-source coverage-based risk and full hosted acceptance remain pending.
Independent local Codex/high review completed clean for this exact head after resolving four findings: cleanup exception precedence, lowercase StoreKit subsystem, producer-sized staging with a separate retained-session limit, and the documented split provisioning/execution ownership path. Generated-predicate, exact retained producer-shape and split-directory regressions fail before their fixes and pass afterward. The prior observer head passed connected Codex, SwiftLint and automatic cost. The timestamp repair at historical91b8 has a clean connected Codex review and passing SwiftLint. The current cost-control head has clean connected review and required SwiftLint; guarded-pair cost acceptance and full hosted qualification remain open.
Timestamp repair: the failed producer's log parser rejects fractional query dates. Whole-second UTC query bounds now round outward, while app/SDK records are filtered back to the exact fractional phase before app identity validation. Explicit log timestamp parsing handles Python3.9's offset format. Retained-archive validation gives expected old-format exit64, corrected exit0,37queried events and36inside the exact phase. New regressions fail on the parent and pass on the repair. The independent reviewer additionally passed boundary/timezone and fail-closed checks. No fresh native collection or full-run pass is claimed.
Earlier validated steps:
actionlint1.7.12 and diff checks pass. The additional Python and Node tests are manual-only; automatic policy tests remain four.4f299b77c869f5674c5fc63a9af4cd208a0ac17c39a43b8b88b8538763229ead.

Original run 40136984441 is at historical
a1e80c3and cannot qualify this changed head or acquire the relay step retroactively. It completed failure at 8:12:19 PM EDT with all five quality jobs passed, seven UI workers passed and five failed. Useful work was preserved until terminal; no old history was cancelled or rewritten. The last iPad original-2 worker ran 8 journeys, 6 passed and 2 failed at the same repaired Grok lines 100 and 392; no distinct fault was found in that worker.Four previously diagnosed failed workers are iPhone native, iPhone original-1, iPhone original-2 and iPad original-3. See the retained native diagnosis and additional failures. Grok fixture and geometry failures have confirmed repairs. The hosted native purchase trust stall and iPad credit-tile navigation failure remain unresolved; passing local controls do not establish their cause or repair.
The iPad native producer passed both journeys and preparation/reset in 675.547 seconds, with validated historical-source proof. Its image was
20261021.0445.8, versus failed iPhone image20261013.0424.1. Xcode/SDK/runtime match, but image and device family are confounded. No cause is attributed to either difference. The unchanged selected Greptile iPad method passed locally in about 303 seconds; hosted diagnostics confirm a correct hit point and received touch events but no sheet. No speculative StoreKit or navigation change is included.The replacement full run 40146062194 at historical
e7ea659967cac2e4cbf7fea4885379f1e7579576completed FAILURE October24 at10:38:21PM EDT. All five quality jobs and eleven of twelve UI workers passed. The sole iPad native failure stopped at initial readiness, before Purchase or Restore; preparation and reset passed but the later native error journey was not reached. Its source-bound full gate remains failed.That producer logged28.901s trust evaluation. The original30s waiter entered9:49:17.288PM EDT; its final ready query began9:49:47.294PM, after the nominal deadline, and returned ready just before timedOut. This does not prove incorrect timeout after a timely ready observation. The app-ready timestamp and SDK continuation versus AX scheduling interval were missing. Qualified local native and real-AX controls did not reproduce a contract violation. Synthetic worker controls located their own late task resumption before the actor hop, not a hosted StoreKit cause. No timeout or product fix is included.
After clean current-head review, required checks, same-image automatic-cost acceptance and zero unresolved threads were verified, one normal full observer qualification run40215906682 was dispatched October25 at1:19PM EDT. Exact head
b65417f9ba6178bd80febe8953e8ed4d466e06a9, reffix/issue-517-manual-ui-shards,ui_validation_mode=full. It completed FAILURE October25 at3:45:43PM EDT. All five quality jobs and ten UI workers passed. All ten compact proofs validate51non-native journeys per family. Both first native Purchase/Restore journeys passed, but required observer collection exited64 because log show rejected fractional query-date syntax. Preparation/reset passed; native error preparation/journey were not reached, leaving52/53journeys and2/3preparation/reset invocations per family. Every UI worker finished below90minutes, maximum57m26s, but the full gate remains failed. The scoped timestamp-format/exact-phase-filter repair is now published at91b8e826353b378de82b104c5833f6acf5e3fbb4after a clean independent Codex/high review. Historical91b8 connected review and SwiftLint passed. The current cost-control head has clean connected review and required SwiftLint. Automatic-cost acceptance remains blocked by the observations below; no further full dispatch is authorized without Root cost/identity review. All five quality jobs, twelve workers,53distinct journeys per family and three preparation/reset invocations remain required. Native30-second readiness assertions,90-minute worker ceilings, failure handling and concurrency are unchanged. No local or skipped PR status substitutes for this gate. No duplicate dispatch or cancellation was made.Automatic cost evidence
The historical original baseline took 7,214 seconds for the iPad original phase. Its 29 tests sum to 6,624.54 seconds. The measured partitions contain 2,212.66 / 2,205.04 / 2,206.84 historical test-seconds before fresh build overhead. These are allocation inputs, not candidate durations. The earlier 90-minute run timed out before completing that phase.
The initial comparison increased summed runner time by seven seconds and is retained as non-passing. One predeclared pair then passed on the same image
20261013.0424.1; the laterba684b7first run used that image too. The one-second API/timestamp discrepancy is shown explicitly. No measurement was rerun until green. Zero API billable milliseconds are not a waiver or dollar estimate. The integrated head's first automatic run also used that image. Its 51s elapsed and 48 job-seconds stay below the retained default-code baseline's 55s and 50s, although the intermediateba684b7candidate ran faster. No additional cost-measurement rerun was requested. The observer head also used image20261013.0424.1 and completes at53s/50s, below/equal to55s/50s. Its automatic workflow and all skipped-job end timestamps agree at53s; no timing rerun or billable-time waiver was used. This automatic comparison does not qualify the full manual gate.The repair head's first57s/54s observation is non-passing against55s/50s. One additional pair was predeclared before execution and both checks passed, but its baseline48s/43s and candidate49s/44s do not demonstrate non-increase. Images also differ: baseline20261021.0445.8 versus candidate20261013.0424.1, violating the predeclared same-image condition. Both raw results and the failed acceptance are retained. No further cost rerun or full manual dispatch was requested. Automatic job/trigger bytes and four lightweight policy assertions remain unchanged; download/setup variance is observed but does not waive the cost gate.
The ordinary8befdb5 automatic check passed on image20261021.0445.8, but its1068s complete elapsed/42s summed runtime does not demonstrate elapsed non-increase against the historical55s/50s baseline. It is retained without queue/setup deductions and is not substituted for the completed, non-passing predeclared guarded pair.
Permissions and notification limits
The approved aggregate token grant remains on manual main/no-PR executions even when the notifier skips. No step/expression permission workaround is used. Main/current-default, tags and absent/stale/fork/nondefault-base PRs do not receive comments. Unknown/authentication/transport errors remain visible; there is no automatic POST retry, fallback, new secret, app scope, job, trigger, timer or listener.
Hints occur only after the aggregate starts. They cannot guarantee early failure, final workflow completion, delivery, exact owner-thread wake or exactly-once posting. A positive hint means passed-so-far, and the owner independently verifies actual Actions state. Hard timeout, cancellation and runner death may prevent posting. Chief #40 remains open for the early-delivery gap. The actual bot comment and exact Chief-thread wake were verified on the failed replacement run. The comment preceded workflow completion and arrived46m22s after the native failure; Chief independently verified actual terminal state. No live synthetic comment or extra dispatch is used to test delivery.
