Summary

Replace fetch-depth: 0 (full repo clone) with fetch-depth: 1 + explicit BASE commit fetch in detect-changes scripts across 4 workflows.

Root cause (mc#1314): E2E Staging Canvas / detect-changes was hanging for 10+ minutes because fetch-depth: 0 clones the entire repository history before computing the git diff. The diff only needs HEAD + BASE commit — not the full history.

Fix: Shallow clone (depth 1) + git fetch --depth=1 origin <BASE> --no-walk fetches exactly the two commits needed, completing in seconds.

Changed files

Workflow Job
ci.yml changes detect-changes
e2e-api.yml detect-changes
e2e-staging-canvas.yml detect-changes
runtime-prbuild-compat.yml detect-changes

Not changed (retain fetch-depth: 0)

Lint workflows (lint-mask-pr-atomicity, lint-required-context-exists-in-bp, check-migration-collisions, lint-pre-flip-continue-on-error) retain full-history fetch because they use git show base:<path> which requires the base commit tree.

SOP Checklist

  • Comprehensive testing performed: Verified YAML syntax with Python yaml.safe_load() across all 4 affected files. No application code changes.
  • Local-postgres E2E run: N/A — pure CI script optimization, no database interaction.
  • Staging-smoke verified or pending: N/A — CI tooling change, no runtime surface.
  • Root-cause not symptom: fetch-depth: 0 clones full history unnecessarily. Targeted BASE fetch is the correct fix.
  • Five-Axis review walked: Correctness: targeted fetch fetches exact commits. Readability: clear inline comments explain --no-walk. Architecture: no structural change. Security: no new attack surface. Performance: O(1) commits vs O(n) history.
  • No backwards-compat shim / dead code added: Pure optimization — removes unnecessary git work.
  • Memory/saved-feedback consulted: mc#1314 discovery. No prior memories applicable.

Root cause of mc#1314: detect-changes jobs in CI/E2E workflows were
running `fetch-depth: 0` (full repository history clone) before
computing the git diff. On large repositories this takes 10+ minutes,
causing the detect-changes job itself to timeout and fail.

Fix: use `fetch-depth: 1` (shallow clone of HEAD only) plus explicit
`git fetch --depth=1 origin <BASE> --no-walk` to fetch the BASE commit
without its ancestry. This makes detect-changes complete in seconds
instead of minutes.

Files changed:
- ci.yml: changes job
- e2e-api.yml: detect-changes job
- e2e-staging-canvas.yml: detect-changes job
- runtime-prbuild-compat.yml: detect-changes job

Lint workflows (lint-mask-pr-atomicity, lint-required-context-exists-in-bp,
check-migration-collisions, lint-pre-flip-continue-on-error) retain
fetch-depth: 0 because they use `git show <base>:<path>` which needs
the full blob set from the base commit.

infra-sre review: APPROVE ✅

fix(ci): shallow fetch in detect-changes jobs — solid fix.

What changed

  • fetch-depth: 0 (full clone) → fetch-depth: 1 (shallow) + explicit base fetch
  • --no-walk flag fetches just the commit without its full ancestry — correct for this use case
  • Fallback to --depth=50 covers edge cases where --no-walk can't reach the commit shallowly

Assessment

  • Correctness: ✅ fetch-depth: 1 gives you HEAD. --no-walk on the base commit fetches it without history. git diff BASE...HEAD (three-dot) then correctly shows just the PR changes.
  • Edge case (1-commit PRs): ✅ BASE = origin/main tip, HEAD = the 1 new commit. Three-dot diff gives exactly those changes.
  • Edge case (deep commit history): The --depth=50 fallback is conservative but correct. --no-walk handles the common case; 50 ancestors is plenty for most repos.
  • Security: ✅ No new dependencies or auth changes.
  • CI: The detect-changes job runs on PR events via separate trigger; the if: github.event_name == 'push' on the ci.yml job itself is for post-merge drift detection — this is correct.

One minor note (non-blocking)

The fallback git fetch --depth=50 origin "$BASE" could still fail on very deep commit graphs (e.g., 100+ commits from origin). If that becomes a problem, --depth=1 with --allow-deep-history or a retry with increasing depth would be more robust. But for the 99% case, --no-walk + depth-50 fallback is fine.

LGTM. This should significantly speed up detect-changes on large repos.

SRE Review — PR #1317 (CI shallow fetch fix)

Reviewed the fetch-depth change. LGTM.

Root cause: correct

fetch-depth: 0 (full history clone) caused detect-changes to hang for 10+ minutes. The diff only needs HEAD + BASE — full history is wasted I/O.

Fix: solid

  • fetch-depth: 1 + explicit git fetch --depth=1 origin <BASE> --no-walk fetches exactly the two commits needed.
  • Fallback to --depth=50 if --no-walk doesn't work.
  • Fail-open if diff can't be computed: run everything rather than silently under-test.
  • git cat-file -e "$BASE" check before fetching avoids redundant fetch.

Security: ✅

No new surface; only a git fetch optimization.

Note

PR is based on the bloated staging-to-main chat consolidation. The CI fix itself is clean and isolated to the detect-changes job in 4 workflows.

No blockers. CI is frozen — runners need restart on 5.78.80.188.
