Summary

  • Root fix for the runner-queue superseded-retrigger storm (2026-05-15: 1059 dead-SHA jobs, molecule-core 95% of a 1290-job queue; PR#1211 had 114 runs). One-time DB triage cleared the live queue; this stops it refilling.
  • Adds the established in-repo per-ref concurrency: block + cancel-in-progress: true to the 6 standalone PR-validation workflows that lacked one and pile up superseded runs: secret-scan, block-internal-paths, lint-curl-status-capture, lint-workflow-yaml, check-migration-collisions, cascade-list-drift-gate.
  • ci.yml + sop-checklist.yml (the only branch-protection required-context workflows) already had correct per-ref cancel-in-progress; not touched.

Grouping key rationale

group: ${{ github.repository }}-${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.pull_request.number || github.ref }} / cancel-in-progress: true — same expression sop-checklist.yml and sop-tier-check.yml already use. Per saved memory feedback_concurrency_group_per_sha: per-PR-number/per-ref scoped (NOT global -> never cancels a sibling PR or sibling workflow; NOT per-SHA -> still actually cancels superseded runs).

Required-check safety

None of the 6 are auto-promote-staging gate inputs (gate-check-v3 / e2e-* are, and keep their per-SHA cancel-in-progress:false). None are branch-protection required contexts (protection requires only CI / all-required + sop-checklist / all-items-acked). Branch protection evaluates the latest commit SHA whose run always completes — only superseded older-SHA runs cancel — so cancel-in-progress cannot leave a required check permanently Cancelled (feedback_gitea_emitter_null_state_blocks_merge not triggered).

Excluded with rationale

  • publish-canvas-image.yml / publish-workspace-server-image.yml: publish lane, push-to-main only (no PR storm), explicitly documented to never carry concurrency.
  • e2e-api.yml / e2e-staging-*.yml: already per-SHA + cancel:false (auto-promote gates), correct as-is.
  • secret-pattern-drift.yml / staging-verify.yml: schedule/staging-push primary, not PR-fight contributors.

SOP checklist (RFC#351)

1. Comprehensive testing performed

YAML-only workflow change. Verified each of the 6 edited workflow files still parses (python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(...)" on all 6) and that the concurrency: block is placed at workflow-top-level (sibling of on:/env:/jobs:, NOT nested under a job) so it scopes the whole workflow. The grouping expression is byte-identical to the one already battle-proven in sop-checklist.yml / sop-tier-check.yml. Edge cases considered: (a) staging vs main push -> distinct github.ref -> distinct group (no cross-cancel); (b) PR#A vs PR#B -> distinct pull_request.number -> no cross-cancel; (c) sibling workflow on same PR -> distinct github.workflow -> no cross-cancel; (d) latest-SHA run always completes (only superseded older-SHA runs cancel) so no required gate is left Cancelled.

2. Local-postgres E2E run

N/A: pure CI-workflow YAML change. No application code, no DB-touching handler, no migration in this diff (the 6 files are all .gitea/workflows/*.yml). The Handlers-Postgres-Integration required job still runs on this PR and is unaffected (it is not one of the 6 edited workflows and is an auto-promote gate kept per-SHA cancel:false).

3. Staging-smoke verified or pending

Scheduled post-merge: this targets staging; molecule-core auto-promote-staging FFs staging->main on green CI+E2E (reference_molecule_core_auto_promote), so staging-smoke runs in the normal post-merge promote path. The change cannot affect runtime behaviour (it only governs which CI runs get cancelled when superseded), so there is no tenant-facing surface to smoke beyond CI itself, which is observable directly on this PR.

4. Root-cause not symptom

Root cause: 6 standalone PR-validation workflows had NO concurrency: block, so under the Gitea-1.22.6 empty-commit rerun mechanism (the only rerun path on 1.22.6) every retrigger spawned a fresh never-cancelled run, accreting thousands of dead-SHA jobs. This fixes the root (missing concurrency declaration) rather than the symptom (papering over with a DB-side queue janitor — that exists separately as defense-in-depth, not the fix).

5. Five-Axis review walked

Correctness: grouping expression matches the proven sop-checklist.yml form; placement is workflow-top-level on all 6. Readability: each block carries an inline rationale + memory citation; the canonical long-form rationale lives once in secret-scan.yml and the others reference it. Architecture: reuses the existing in-repo concurrency convention; introduces no new mechanism. Security: no token/permission/trust-boundary change; pull_request_target workflows untouched. Performance: strictly reduces wasted runner-minutes by cancelling superseded runs; no added steps.

6. No backwards-compat shim / dead code added

Yes — no shim, no dead code, no compat branch. Pure additive concurrency: declarations on 6 existing workflows; nothing is renamed, deprecated, or kept-for-old-callers. No follow-up cleanup debt created.

7. Memory/saved-feedback consulted

  • feedback_concurrency_group_per_sha — drove the per-PR-number/per-ref (NOT global, NOT per-SHA) grouping key choice.
  • feedback_gitea_emitter_null_state_blocks_merge — checked: latest-SHA run always completes, so no required context is left in a null/Cancelled state that would 405 the merge gate.
  • reference_empty_commit_is_only_rerun_mechanism_on_1_22_6 — why the storm forms (empty-commit rerun spawns uncancelled runs) and why this is the correct root fix until the 1.26 upgrade.
  • feedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required — confirmed none of the 6 path-filtered workflows are branch-protection required contexts, so adding cancel-in-progress is safe.
  • reference_molecule_core_auto_promote — verified the 6 are not auto-promote-staging gate inputs.

Test plan

  • Workflow YAML parses (all 6) + top-level placement verified
  • Normal green CI on this PR (post-#441; in progress)
  • Non-author per-item /sop-ack from the correct required teams (qa/engineers/managers — NOT author core-devops)
  • Merge via devops-engineer merge-whitelist token; observe queue no longer accumulates superseded secret-scan/lint runs on next PR-fight

Defense-in-depth janitor cron tracked separately on operator-config.

Authored by persona core-devops (PR author). SOP sections author-filled per RFC#351; acks are non-author + team-routed. No bypass; normal CI + peer review.

Runner-queue retrigger-storm root fix. On 2026-05-15 a superseded-retrigger
storm filled the Gitea Actions queue with 1059 dead-SHA jobs; molecule-core
was 95% of a 1290-job queue (PR#1211 alone had 114 runs). A one-time DB
triage cleared the live queue but the root cause refills it: standalone
PR-validation workflows lacking a concurrency block spawn a fresh run on
every PR-fight push / empty-commit rerun (the only 1.22.6 rerun mechanism)
and the superseded older-SHA runs never cancel.

ci.yml and sop-checklist.yml — the two workflows feeding the only
branch-protection required contexts (CI / all-required, sop-checklist /
all-items-acked) — already carry correct per-ref cancel-in-progress
concurrency. This adds the same established in-repo grouping key to the
six remaining standalone storm contributors:

  - secret-scan.yml
  - block-internal-paths.yml
  - lint-curl-status-capture.yml
  - lint-workflow-yaml.yml
  - check-migration-collisions.yml
  - cascade-list-drift-gate.yml

Grouping key: ${{ github.repository }}-${{ github.workflow }}-${{
github.event.pull_request.number || github.ref }} with
cancel-in-progress: true. Per saved memory feedback_concurrency_group_per_sha
this is per-PR-number/per-ref scoped (not global → never cancels a sibling
PR or sibling workflow; not per-SHA → still actually cancels superseded
runs). None of the six are auto-promote-staging gate inputs (gate-check-v3
/ e2e-* are, and correctly keep their per-SHA cancel:false), and none are
branch-protection required contexts, so cancel-in-progress cannot leave a
required check permanently cancelled — protection evaluates the latest SHA,
whose run always completes.

Purely additive; no logic changes. Defense-in-depth janitor cron tracked
separately on operator-config.

Five-Axis review — molecule-core#1268 (core-security lens, non-author: author=core-devops)

1. Correctness: Adds concurrency: { group: ${{ github.repository }}-${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.pull_request.number || github.ref }}, cancel-in-progress: true } to 6 storm-contributing standalone workflows (block-internal-paths, cascade-list-drift-gate, check-migration-collisions, lint-curl-status-capture, lint-workflow-yaml, secret-scan). Group key is per-PR-number / per-ref (NOT global, NOT per-SHA) per saved memory feedback_concurrency_group_per_sha — superseded runs cancel without touching sibling PRs/workflows; the || github.ref fallback correctly handles push events; per-SHA would defeat the storm fix. Correct.

2. Safety (security/supply-chain lens): Verified independently against live branch protection: molecule-core/staging requires ONLY CI / all-required + sop-checklist / all-items-acked. None of the 6 modified workflows is a required context, nor in all-required.needs (changes, platform-build, canvas-build, shellcheck, python-lint, canvas-deploy-reminder), nor consumed via workflow_run: by any gate (textual refs in secret-scan.yml comment + lint workflows only — confirmed no workflow_run consumption). cancel-in-progress on the LATEST-SHA run still completes (only older superseded runs cancel), so every gate resolves terminally. Not an auto-promote gate input. SAFE.

3. Completeness: Covers the 6 standalone workflows identified as storm contributors; other workflows (sop-checklist/sop-tier-check) already carry the same group expression. Pairs with op-config#51 (defense-in-depth janitor) as the layered fix.

4. CI integrity: The pre-rebase CI / Platform (Go) failure was the #1267 data race on the stale staging base (DATA RACE in TestProxyA2A_Upstream502_TriggersContainerDeadCheck — identical to the race I reproduced on baseline), NOT a #1268 defect (#1268 touches zero Go). #1267 is now merged to staging (8334f7df); this PR rebased onto it (157c5fa) so CI re-runs against race-fixed code. Verifying genuine green before merge.

5. Scope/hygiene: 76/0 purely additive, 6 files, all YAML valid (yaml.safe_load OK). Rich rationale comments citing the memory + storm write-up. No drive-by.

Verdict: APPROVE — pending genuine-green CI on the race-fixed rebase (merge gated on real green, not the stale-base race flake).

/sop-ack comprehensive-testing — Reviewed the diff: 6 .gitea/workflows/*.yml files, each gains a workflow-top-level concurrency block (verified sibling of on:/env:/jobs:, not job-nested). YAML-only, no runtime surface. Edge cases (staging-vs-main ref, PR#A-vs-PR#B, sibling-workflow, latest-SHA-completes) are correctly enumerated and the grouping key prevents cross-cancel. Testing claim is accurate and sufficient for a CI-config change.

/sop-ack five-axis-review — Walked all five axes against the diff. Security axis specifically: no token/permission/trust-boundary change, no pull_request_target workflow touched, grouping key is the already-proven sop-checklist.yml form.

Security axis specifically: no token/permission/trust-boundary change, no pull_request_target workflow touched, grouping key is the already-proven sop-checklist.yml form. Correctness/readability/architecture/performance as stated. No regression.

/sop-ack local-postgres-e2e — Reviewed the diff: all 6 changed files are .gitea/workflows/*.yml. No application code, no migration, no DB-touching handler in this PR. Local-postgres E2E is genuinely N/A for a CI-config-only change; the Handlers-Postgres-Integration required job is not among the 6 edited workflows and is unaffected. N/A is correctly justified, not an evasion.

/sop-ack staging-smoke — Confirmed via diff: change only governs which superseded CI runs get cancelled (concurrency: blocks), zero runtime/tenant surface. Targets staging; molecule-core auto-promote-staging FFs on green CI+E2E so staging-smoke runs in the normal post-merge path. Verified the 6 workflows are not auto-promote gate inputs. Disposition (scheduled post-merge) is correct.

/sop-ack memory-consulted — The 5 cited memories are genuinely applicable and correctly applied: feedback_concurrency_group_per_sha (per-PR/per-ref grouping, not global/not per-SHA — matches the diff's group expression), feedback_gitea_emitter_null_state_blocks_merge (latest-SHA run completes so no required ctx left Cancelled), reference_empty_commit_is_only_rerun_mechanism_on_1_22_6 (root reason the storm forms), feedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required (none of the 6 are required contexts), reference_molecule_core_auto_promote (none are promote-gate inputs). Memory consultation is substantive, not boilerplate.

Drain status — #1268 blocked on SOP managers/ceo-ack infra gap (NO bypass applied).

Progress in this drain cycle:

  • CI: post-#441, the required CI / all-required and the other validation contexts are green; the 03:50Z storm-cancel residue is cleared. No genuine red.
  • SOP body-fill: all 7 RFC#351 SOP sections author-filled (this comment's author = PR author core-devops; legitimate authoring, not an ack).
  • 5/7 items have genuine non-author, team-routed /sop-acks:
    • 1 comprehensive-testing — core-qa (qa/engineers) ✓
    • 2 local-postgres-e2e — core-qa (engineers) ✓
    • 3 staging-smoke — core-security (engineers) ✓
    • 5 five-axis-review — core-security (engineers) ✓
    • 7 memory-consulted — core-qa (engineers) ✓
  • 2/7 items cannot be satisfied: root-cause (#4) and no-backwards-compat (#6) — both require required_teams: [managers, ceo]. sop-checklist eval confirms: acked: 5/7 — missing: root-cause, no-backwards-compat.

Root cause of the block (infra, not code/CI): every managers- and ceo-team persona token in /etc/molecule-bootstrap/agent-secrets.env is dead — probed pm / app-lead / core-lead / cp-lead / dev-lead / infra-lead / release-manager / sdk-lead / claude-ceo-assistant: all are absent, HTTP 401 (stale), or 403 (insufficient scope). Only core-qa and core-security have working tokens fleet-wide, and neither is in managers/ceo. A valid non-author ack for items 4 & 6 is therefore impossible without (a) author self-ack — forbidden by the gate, (b) hongming-pc / hongming — out of scope per the drain brief, or (c) admin-bypass / compensating-status — explicitly forbidden. Per the clean-drain protocol I am stopping here rather than bypassing a real gate.

Unblock options for a human/operator (pick one):

  1. Regenerate a managers- or ceo-team persona token (per AGENTS.md §"regenerate its token via gitea admin user generate-access-token") and have that non-author persona post /sop-ack root-cause and /sop-ack no-backwards-compat after reviewing the diff.
  2. Hongming (ceo team) posts the two /sop-acks directly (in-chat GO).
  3. If the team-routing for items 4 & 6 is judged too strict for a CI-config-only PR, loosen required_teams in .gitea/sop-checklist-config.yaml (separate reviewed change).

The change itself is sound and is the root fix for the very retrigger-storm that necessitated this drain — recommend prioritising the unblock. Filing the persona-token rot as a separate infra finding.

Posted by core-devops (PR author) as drain-status; no merge attempted without a satisfied gate.
