Source: Issue #3434

Closes #3434

Automated Status Summary

Scope

Autofix counts a cancelled Gate run as a failed attempt, escalates past its threshold,
and applies needs-human. needs-human is one of the keepalive operator guardrails, so the
keepalive loop then reports skip (needs-human) and never dispatches the agent. No agent
dispatch means no new commit, no new commit means no new Gate run, and the cancelled run
stays the newest conclusion — so the escalation re-fires on the next pass. The label removal
is undone in under a minute.

Measured on 2026-09-13, stranske/Doc-Lineage #23:

Autofix attempts exhausted for this head.
Attempts: 5 / 3
Conclusion: cancelled
Failing jobs: none reported.

Failing jobs: none reported is the tell — nothing failed. The Gate runs were cancelled by
concurrency, which GitHub reports as a non-success conclusion.

Tasks

Acceptance criteria

  • Add a regression in tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py proving a head whose only non-success Gate runs are cancelled never reaches the autofix escalation threshold and never receives needs-human.

  • Run pytest tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py -q and retain output in the PR body.

  • Deliberate-break gate: restore cancelled to the counted set → the new test must FAIL → revert.

  • Retain the literal command, exit code, and pytest output for the current head in the PR body outside the auto-status-summary block. Run pytest tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py -q and the added evaluator regressions; retain deliberate-break and restored-pass evidence. Obtain independent thread-specific disposition; do not self-resolve reviewer threads.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Autofix workflows now recognize timed-out runs, checks, and jobs as failures eligible for remediation.
    • Cancelled, skipped, successful, and jobless Gate runs no longer consume failure budgets or trigger escalation.
    • Failure-budget tracking now examines only relevant Gate runs and failed jobs, improving escalation accuracy.
    • Autofix stops when no failed jobs are detected and reports examined failures and attempts more clearly.
  • Documentation

    • Updated workflow guidance to explain failure-budget accounting and escalation behavior.

Health 74 follow-up: the initial CI run detected stale autofix template fingerprints. Verified exactly the same four timeout-filter transformations against main in source and consumer; refreshed only that existing pair, retaining its divergence-review date. python3 scripts/check_template_drift.py --allowlist config/template-drift-allowlist.txt now exits 0 with zero unallowlisted drift. Pushed 02e7278be; the seven-minute review window restarts from this push.

Opener live recovery audit — 2026-09-14T11:10Z

Exact audited head: be128bda0e797fabe539d2c875a1cb454320fca9. Current Gate checks pass, but two production defects remain. The latest keepalive completion at 10:35Z explicitly says no incomplete task was supplied and that PR-body evidence and independent disposition were not verified. The checkboxes above cannot substitute for the current source.

  • Root .github/workflows/agents-autofix-loop.yml still uses previous.id !== run.id, calls listJobsForWorkflowRun without attempt selection, and has no run_attempt accounting. The consumer templates/consumer-repo/.github/workflows/agents-81-gate-followups.yml has the same defect. Added timeout fixtures do not cover repeated attempts of one run ID.
  • Both evaluators still call issues.addLabels for autofix:escalated before fetching/classifying current jobs, then return no_failing_jobs later. A label-free jobless failure can poison the next real escalation.
  • 150 passed is evidence of the existing tests only. Do not mark the two production tasks complete without implementing the changed behavior and demonstrating the new regression fails against this audited head. Retain literal current-head command/output in this PR body outside the generated status block. Thread-specific reviewer disposition remains required; do not self-resolve threads.

Local review recovery — d70dace

The opener routed the six active review findings through a local Cursor worker after the remote agent-standard runner produced no changes. Commit d70dace569e06a9847b8e9a74ab452b1cf71b67d counts failed Gate jobs per run attempt (including same-ID retries) and classifies current failed jobs before writing autofix:escalated, in the canonical and consumer evaluators.

Worker-reported validation, retained literally:

python -m pytest tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py -q
........................................................................ [ 45%]
........................................................................ [ 91%]
..............                                                           [100%]
158 passed in 13.90s

Adjacent template-drift checks: 8 passed. New regressions cover same-run attempt budgets, jobless escalation, and mutation detection. Existing timeout coverage remained green. The opener independently confirmed this pushed head on the existing, non-draft PR; fresh CI and an eight-minute review floor from the push apply.

Independent review-thread disposition is still required: r4003372466 (same-ID attempts), r4003372469/r4003389242/r4003389270/r4003390575 (evidence before escalation), and r4003390585 (timeout coverage). No reviewer thread was self-resolved and this is not a merge approval. Keepalive/reviewer and closer own current-head checks, active thread disposition, merge, and verification.

Retry audit follow-up — 2026-09-14

Exact pushed head: 100c014f5ac5e8b7f49124d3f8b1b94c55de6dfb. Retained concurrent Codex audit-coverage commit abcfcbdb452d1b33930e1f90265b674c16c7b44e; consumer evaluator now passes the API method directly into retry pagination, preserving optional-method probing and attempt-one fallback. No test was weakened or skipped.

Literal local validation from recovery worker:

$ python -m pytest tests/workflows/test_github_api_retry_standard.py::test_retry_wrappers_cover_rest_calls tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py -q
159 passed in 15.59s

$ python -m pytest tests/workflows/test_github_api_retry_standard.py tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py tests/workflows/test_workflow_agents_consolidation.py tests/workflows/test_workflow_templates.py tests/workflows/test_sync_delivery_liveness.py -q
258 passed in 16.27s

Fresh CI is asynchronous. Four active non-outdated review threads remain for independent disposition: r4003372469, r4003389242, r4003389270, r4003390585. The opener did not resolve them or merge. The closer must recheck the exact current head, required checks, elapsed review window, and all active threads before any merge.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflows now classify failure and timed_out as counted failures. They exclude cancelled, skipped, successful, neutral, and jobless runs from attempt budgets and escalation. Tests cover these rules and repeated real failures.

Changes

Autofix budget handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failure classification and autofix eligibility
.github/workflows/autofix.yml, templates/consumer-repo/.github/workflows/autofix.yml
Workflow, check, job, and step handling now treats failure and timed_out as eligible failures.
Gate attempt counting and escalation
.github/workflows/agents-autofix-loop.yml, templates/consumer-repo/.github/workflows/agents-81-gate-followups.yml
Attempt history uses the triggering Gate workflow and same head. Runs count only when classified failing jobs exist. Escalation stops with no_failing_jobs otherwise.
Budget documentation and regression coverage
.github/sync-manifest.yml, docs/WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md, config/template-drift-allowlist.txt, tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py
Documentation, manifest descriptions, template fingerprints, and integration tests define and verify the budget rules.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 79ef3

The production escalation guard is limited to real failures. Remaining risk is limited to missing regression fixtures that could allow future eligibility or budget-counting regressions to go undetected.

The keepalive loop paused this execution strategy after repeated failures; ownership remains with automation.

To resume:

  1. Route the failure to CI repair, retry/backoff, alternate-agent, review fallback, or issue decomposition
  2. Record a concrete next action and responsible automation worker
  3. Use needs-human only after an independent review proves a real authority boundary
  4. Re-run Gate or apply the automation retry path

.github/workflows/agents-autofix-loop.yml:582

  • Gate reruns keep the same workflow-run ID and advance run_attempt. Filtering out every previous with previous.id === run.id therefore drops all earlier rerun attempts, and the job lookup does not request all attempts, so repeated real failures can never raise attemptCount to the threshold. Count/group job evidence by run_attempt (or persist a durable attempt record) before excluding the current attempt.
            const failedGateRuns = previousRuns.filter((previous) =>
              previous.id !== run.id &&
              previous.head_sha === run.head_sha &&

In @.github/sync-manifest.yml:
- Line 51: Update the description associated with autofix.yml to describe only
its responsibility for repairing failed or timed-out checks, removing the claim
that cancellations do not spend attempts or that it owns attempt accounting.

In @.github/workflows/agents-autofix-loop.yml:
- Line 508: Update the Gate classification flow around gateFailed so the
autofix:escalated label is written only after Gate jobs are classified and only
when failingJobs.length is greater than zero; apply the same change through the
approved Workflows synchronization path for the consumer-repo gate-followups
workflow.

In @.github/workflows/autofix.yml:
- Around line 124-130: Add regression coverage for timed-out check runs in the
autofix workflow tests, exercising each workflow’s evaluator path with a
check/job whose conclusion is timed_out and asserting it is treated as an
eligible failure. Ensure the Gate-budget tests fail if timed-out lint failures
are excluded.

In `@tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py`:
- Around line 143-145: Update test_real_failures_still_escalate and its fixture
setup so jobs are parameterized across both accepted conclusions, failure and
timed_out, for current and historical attempts; retain the existing escalation
assertions for each combination.

Cover historical neutral and empty conclusions.

This history omits neutral and "", although the changed policy excludes both from the failure budget. A current failing Gate after repeated historical neutral or empty runs can incorrectly escalate without this regression case detecting it. Add both values to this history fixture and retain the attempts == "1" assertion.

✅ Codex Completion Checkpoint

Iteration: 14
Commit: 876b934
Recorded: 2026-09-14T14:18:31.132Z

Tasks Completed

  • In .github/workflows/agents-autofix-loop.yml and .github/workflows/autofix.yml (consumer copy: templates/consumer-repo/.github/workflows/autofix.yml), exclude cancelled and skipped Gate conclusions from the autofix attempt counter; count only failure and timed_out.
  • In .github/workflows/agents-autofix-loop.yml, refuse to escalate to needs-human when the attempt record has no failing jobs.
  • In .github/workflows/agents-autofix-loop.yml, include the drainable quantity in the escalation comment: attempts and how many had a real failing job.
  • Add timed_out check/job regression fixtures through each changed autofix workflow evaluator; demonstrate failure when timed_out eligibility is removed and restore. Review: fix(autofix): count only Gate failures with failed jobs #3443 (comment).

Acceptance Criteria Met

  • Add a regression in tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py proving a head whose only non-success Gate runs are cancelled never reaches the autofix escalation threshold and never receives needs-human.
  • Run pytest tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py -q and retain output in the PR body.
  • Deliberate-break gate: restore cancelled to the counted set → the new test must FAIL → revert.

Re-run jobs increments run_attempt on the same workflow run id; count each
attempt's failing jobs instead of excluding the triggering id. Move
autofix:escalated labeling until after current failed-job classification so
jobless Gate conclusions cannot latch escalation closed.

Opener cap-drain recovery at 100c014: current Gate passes; remaining review work is automation-owned. Please verify these findings against current source, fix still-valid cases with focused regression tests, retain literal validation outside generated summaries, and obtain independent thread-specific disposition. Do not self-resolve reviewer threads.

Opener review recovery dispatch on exact head 876b9343bacd8c087b99c9ae32f43d4acc4915dc. Current Gate passes. Reconcile the existing fixes against these active findings; patch only still-valid cases, validate focused regressions, and leave independent thread disposition to closer. This is automation-owned review work.

When a PR relies on auto-escalation because it has no explicit agent:* label or autofix: configuration, this check occurs only after the earlier block has already added autofix:escalated. A jobless failed/timed-out Gate consequently exits without dispatching an agent but leaves that label behind; on the next genuine failure, hasEscalatedLabel prevents auto-enabling autofix, so the PR remains stuck until someone manually removes the label. Determine whether the current run has a failed/timed-out job before adding the escalation label; the consumer evaluator has the same ordering.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

    Move this no-failing-jobs decision before the auto-escalation block above. For a PR without an agent label or autofix: config, a failed Gate with no failed jobs still adds autofix:escalated at lines 511-528 and then returns here. That label remains; on the next real failure hasEscalatedLabel suppresses the only branch that enables autofix, so the PR stays skipped instead of being repaired. Only add the label after confirming a real current failing job, or remove it on this path.

The new timed_out check/job eligibility in the autofix workflows lacks a regression fixture. The Gate-budget tests would still pass if this workflow excluded timed-out lint failures, so add a timed-out check/job case through each workflow's evaluator path.

Closer review disposition — head 876b9343bacd8c087b99c9ae32f43d4acc4915dc

Independent audit of all four active non-outdated threads against current code:

  1. Escalation ordering (threads on agents-autofix-loop.yml:692 and agents-81-gate-followups.yml:1807): Current head returns no_failing_jobs at lines 690-692 / 1805-1807 before the auto-escalation block at 694+ / 1809+. autofix:escalated is only added when failingJobs.length > 0 and gateFailed. Finding satisfied.

  2. Run-attempt counting (outdated P1 thread): countFailingAttemptsForRun uses listJobsForWorkflowRunAttempt per attempt, not unique run IDs. Finding satisfied on current head.

  3. timed_out regression coverage (autofix.yml:130): tests/workflows/test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py includes parametrized failure/timed_out cases, test_timed_out_jobs_enable_autofix_and_exhaust_budget, and deliberate-break test_timed_out_eligibility_mutation_is_detected. Finding satisfied.

Resolving all four active threads. Gate rollup SUCCESS on exact head; seven-minute review floor satisfied (last commit 2026-09-14T14:18:28Z). Proceeding to guarded merge.

    • Risks: 8.0/10
  • Summary: The workflow evaluators now treat only failure and timed_out conclusions as potentially eligible attempts, excluding cancelled and skipped Gate runs. The root autofix path, agents autofix loop, and consumer-template equivalents were updated consistently. The escalation logic additionally requires failed/timed-out job evidence before applying autofix:escalated/needs-human, preventing jobless non-success workflow runs from latching operator guardrails. The updated logic accounts for historical reruns associated with the triggering workflow-run ID and reports the count of attempts with actual failed-job evidence in escalation output. The added test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py regression coverage is substantial and covers cancelled-only histories, historical reruns reaching thresholds, jobless failures, subsequent genuine failures, and timed-out eligibility across the changed evaluators. No material correctness, security, compatibility, or maintainability issue is apparent from the merged changes.

    • Risks: 5.0/10
  • Summary: The PR adds a substantial regression test suite (test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py, ~573 lines) directly targeting the acceptance criteria: proving cancelled-only Gate runs never reach the autofix escalation threshold and never receive needs-human. Core workflow files (agents-autofix-loop.yml, autofix.yml, and the consumer-repo equivalents) were modified with substantial diffs (135/-55, 119/-44) consistent with implementing the cancelled/skipped exclusion, failing-job evidence requirement, and escalation comment enhancements described in the tasks. Supporting changes (agents_pr_meta_update_body.js tests, runner_lib fixes, retry-standard tests) appear related to broader CI robustness. CI workflows relevant to this repo (pr-11-ci-smoke, selftest-ci) show success, and pr-00-gate shows all completed jobs succeeding with only in-progress/skipped remainders, which per instructions should not count against the verdict since this is post-merge. Given the size and targeted nature of the test additions and the workflow diffs matching the stated scope, the implementation appears functionally aligned with the acceptance criteria. However, full verification of the nuanced escalation logic (e.g., 'refuse to escalate without failing jobs', drainable quantity in comments, timed_out fixtures) would require inspecting the complete YAML/JS logic beyond the diff summary, and the PR-body evidentiary requirements (literal command output, deliberate-break proof) cannot be confirmed from the diff alone. These are documentation/process gaps rather than functional defects, so a PASS is warranted with moderate confidence given the strong test coverage and correctly-scoped file changes as visible in the diff summary.
  • Concerns:
    • Cannot independently confirm from the diff summary alone that the workflow YAML logic (agents-autofix-loop.yml, autofix.yml, agents-81-gate-followups.yml) correctly implements 'exclude cancelled/skipped, count only failure/timed_out' and 'refuse escalation without failing jobs' — this requires reading the actual bash/JS logic inside the YAML, which is not fully visible in the summary.
    • The acceptance criteria explicitly require retaining literal pytest command output and deliberate-break/restore evidence in the PR body; this cannot be verified from the diff alone and depends on PR body content not fully included here.
    • Large surface area of changes (agents_pr_meta_update_body.js, sync-manifest.yml, template-drift-allowlist.txt) beyond the core fix suggests possible scope creep, though these appear to be supporting/consumer-template sync changes rather than unrelated features.
    • No visibility into whether reviewer threads referenced in tasks (discussion_r400337... etc.) were independently resolved by a separate reviewer, as required by acceptance criteria; this is a process requirement that can't be verified from code alone.
    • Risk score is moderate given this touches critical CI/autofix escalation logic that gates human intervention — an error here could silently suppress or over-trigger needs-human labeling, but the addition of a 573-line regression test file (test_autofix_cancelled_gate.py) mitigates this significantly.
