From c849153b36acb3ebf724fc45c6ceeeeb4901ee77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wallstop Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 19:35:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/19] ci: fail the stuck-job watchdog closed when it cannot read runner inventory The watchdog has been reporting success while blind. It listed runners from two endpoints its token can never reach -- `/orgs/{org}/actions/runners` is organization-scoped and the job's GITHUB_TOKEN is repository-scoped, and the repository-level fallback needs `administration: read` -- logged an ERROR, took no action, and exited 0. A `Performance Numbers` run then sat queued for ten hours with the automation meant to notice it green every five minutes (#328). The repository-level fallback was worse than no fallback: this repository registers zero repository-level runners, so with the permission added the call would succeed and report an empty inventory, which reads identically to "no runner matches" and still issues no action. It is removed rather than fixed. Inventory now comes from the build-lock reader App, the credential `check-unity-runner-availability` already uses, narrowed to `organization_self_hosted_runners: read` and walking only the runner groups visible to this repository, so a runner another repository owns is never mistaken for one that could have taken our job. Every input the verdict depends on -- the queued-run listing, the runner inventory, a per-run job listing, and the cancel-cap state branch -- now fails the job instead of exiting 0. A green run means the queue was evaluated. The single "no matching idle runner" test conflated four states, so the one case #328 actually hit was invisible. They are now distinguished: idle (dispatcher-stuck, cancel), busy (healthy backpressure), offline and unregistered (starved -- reported in its own step-summary section and as a `::warning::`, never cancelled, because the fleet still intends to run it). A GitHub-hosted label set is unregistered by definition and is reported as not evaluable rather than as starvation. Two latent defects found while rewriting: label matching was case-sensitive in both directions, and an empty label set vacuously satisfied the superset test, which would have manufactured a dispatcher-stuck verdict and cancelled the run. The cancel-cap state branch is now materialized only after a run is classified dispatcher-stuck, so the common cycle clones nothing and cannot be failed by a state-branch problem it never needed to solve. Covered by an executed truth table in scripts/validate-unity-pr-policy.py that runs the workflow's own audit script against a stubbed `gh` and `git` across thirteen cases. It reads the step's literal `env:` from the workflow rather than restating it, so a case cannot pass by asserting its own stub. Verified live against ten mutations, including the exact #328 regression.

From 917aec633063059c88e6f537882c3995726dd450 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wallstop Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 19:40:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 02/19] ci: stop reporting a cleanup failure for a lock a leg never acquired A licensed Unity leg that aborts at its first step produced two failures: the honest one, and a second from `Require confirmed Unity cleanup` reporting a cleanup that was never needed. Five of nine legs in run 30642224168 showed the shape (#327). `Return Unity license` and `Classify Unity cleanup evidence` correctly skip when the lock was never acquired, so the gate read an empty `classification-complete` and failed closed on work that never started. The gate already had the right contract -- its `acquired` input documents that `false` proves licensed cleanup was not required, and it short-circuits every other check on that value. The workflow simply never supplied it: a skipped `Acquire organization Unity lock` publishes no outputs, so the gate saw empty rather than false. All five licensed lock windows now derive the input from `outcome`, which is empty or `skipped` only when the step did not execute. That keeps the bare `if: always()` the issue asks for, and keeps the case the gate must never miss: an acquire that RAN and failed part-way reports outcome=failure while `acquired` reads empty, so the empty value still flows through and the gate still fails. Gating the gate on `acquired == 'true'` would have skipped exactly that seat leak. Pinned in scripts/validate-unity-pr-policy.py across every window in LICENSED_LOCK_WINDOWS: the bare `always()` must survive, the input must map only a never-executed step to false, and an `outcome == 'failure'` clause is rejected outright so a real leak cannot be laundered into a not-attempted verdict. Verified against three mutations.

Roughly a third of recent master history is bot commits (#330). update-llms-txt.yml and update-issue-template-versions.yml were the same 180-line workflow twice: same App token, same branch refresh, same three-attempt push loop, different `npm run` line. They are replaced by post-merge-maintenance.yml, which runs both generators and pushes at most ONE commit. The file list lives in a single GENERATED_PATHS env var that the change probe, the staging step, and the push loop all read, so a third generator is wired in one place or not at all. perf-numbers.yml deliberately stays separate: it runs on a self-hosted Windows runner behind the organization Unity build lock and can take tens of minutes, so folding these two-minute generators behind it would delay them by the benchmark's whole queue for no benefit. That left the reason the llms.txt commit fired at all. `update:llms-txt` restamped "Last Updated" on every run while `check:llms-txt` deliberately normalizes the date away, so the generator produced a diff on any day it ran and the checker never objected. 1efb7326, the last llms.txt auto-commit on master, changed exactly one line -- the date -- and still re-triggered CI, Release Drafter, and Deploy Documentation. The date now survives a byte-identical regeneration and moves only when the content moves, so the field means what it claims and the bot commits only when it has something to say. The comparison normalizes ONLY the date, not the skill-count claim that normalizeForComparison also folds away: a count change is real content and must carry the date with it. Covered by a CLI-driven test that exercises the real write path in both directions; reverting to an unconditional restamp, or preserving the date through a genuine content change, each fail the suite. JS budget raised to 17582 with entry 077. The change is a net simplification of the workflow layer (367 YAML lines to 219) that costs a small, tested addition to the generator that removes a recurring no-information commit.

A single unparseable `created_at` aborted jq, left the id list empty, and printed "Queue is clean. No action." over a genuinely stuck queue -- the exact #328 shape the rewrite claims to have eliminated, in the one read that was not wrapped in `fail_closed`. Fixed at all three jq read sites, not just the reachable one. **The starvation report latched on the first label set while the verdict accumulated across all of them.** Because jq `unique` sorts, a run with one GitHub-hosted job and one starved self-hosted job reported "targets GitHub-hosted capacity" when the hosted label sorted first (`macos-latest`) and reported starvation when it sorted last (`ubuntu-latest`). Identical semantics, opposite verdict, decided by alphabetical order -- and in the losing case the `::warning::` was suppressed entirely, which is the blindness the rewrite exists to remove. When it did warn, it interpolated the first set's labels, so it could tell an operator to bring online a runner named `macos-latest`. The whole-run verdict and the reported set are now tracked separately, and only a self-hosted set can drive starvation. **Any unanticipated abort produced a red run with an empty summary.** `emit_summary` was reachable only through `finish`. An EXIT trap now emits the buckets on every path and labels aborts that did not come from `finish`. The concrete trigger: `EXCLUDED_BY_FILE[""]` is a hard bash error, and the code already anticipates a null workflow path via `(.path // "")`. A run whose workflow cannot be named is now reported and left alone -- cancelling is the one irreversible thing this job does. **Merging the two generators re-coupled what two workflows kept apart.** A `bug_report.yml` the dropdown generator could not process would abort the step before llms.txt drift on master was ever corrected. They are now one step each, the second running even when the first failed, and each reverts its OWN files when its `--check` rejects them -- so the tree can only ever carry accepted output, the generator that converged still self-heals, and a terminal gate keeps the job red. Verified by executing it: a failing dropdown generator leaves llms.txt regenerated and its own garbage discarded. **`preserveUnchangedDate` removed update mode's ability to repair a malformed date.** The comparison erases the date, so a file whose only defect IS a corrupt date line looks identical to a fresh generation; copying the corrupt line back left a state the post-write validator rejects, and update exited 1 while advertising itself as the remediation. Reproduced against master: `unknown` was repaired to a real date before, and preserved after. Now only a date the generator would itself accept is carried forward. **The runner-group visibility claim was stronger than the evidence.** The header asserted the filter as a guarantee against counting another repository's runners. It could not be verified from here, and the organization currently has a single group, so visible-to-us and all-org-runners are the same set today. The comment now says what the parameter actually buys, and the counted group names are logged so a future second group is visible in the summary. JS budget 17612 (entry 077 extended).

The disable listed only SC2317, so `Lint GitHub Actions workflows` failed on the previous commit. The first attempt at explaining this in a comment made it worse. A comment line that BEGINS with the analyzer's own name is parsed as a directive, so the prose became a malformed one (SC1073) and shellcheck stopped analyzing the whole 500-line script rather than just that function. The wording now keeps the name out of the leading position and says why. Verified against shellcheck 0.11.0 -- newer than CI's -- at `-S info`, which is stricter than the container's default: both this workflow and post-merge-maintenance.yml are clean.

One of them was worse than what it replaced, and three shipped with a coverage claim that was not true. **The generator isolation defeated its own gate.** `regenerate()` in the push loop ended each branch in `|| git checkout`, which succeeds, so the function always returned 0. A generator that broke only on the REFRESHED head (the stale-head retry path) reverted silently, the loop pushed the other generator's output, and the job went green with stale content and no annotation -- while the terminal gate read the two step outcomes, both `success`, because the failure happened in the loop rather than in the steps. It now records the failure and every success exit carries that verdict. Executed end to end against a real local remote: the step exits 1 with an error annotation where it previously exited 0. **The empty-subscript fix only hardened the read site.** `EXCLUDED_BY_FILE` is WRITTEN from the exclusion list, where `base="${wf##*/}"` turns any operator entry ending in `/` into an empty subscript -- a hard bash error that kills the audit before it reads anything, every five minutes, on a repo-variable typo. The guard checked `wf`, not `base`. **`Check for changes` fail-opened.** `git diff --exit-code || echo changed=true` treats 128/129 ("not a git repository") the same as 1 ("there are differences"). That was unreachable while a failed `Checkout` skipped the step; adding `if: always()` in the last commit made it reachable, so a failed checkout would have reported `changed=true` and driven the commit step. Only exit 1 now means changed; anything else fails. **Three fixes had no regression coverage**, contrary to what the last commit message claimed. Removing the EXIT trap, dropping the emit-once guard, and deleting the runner-group name log all left the suite green. All three now have cases; the trap is exercised through a failing `date`, which is the only unguarded assignment left and therefore the only way to reach an abort the script does not anticipate. **The not-evaluable branch claimed something it could not know.** "Targets GitHub-hosted capacity" is not the same statement as "no job asked for self-hosted", and can be false -- a registered runner may carry `ubuntu-latest` and simply be offline. Reaching that branch provably implies no queued job requested `self-hosted` (an idle self-hosted set breaks out, a busy one returns, and offline/unregistered ones set `starved_kind`), so the second arm was dead code. It is deleted and the message now states only what is true. Also: the third `mapfile` site kept the empty guard its two siblings got. It is currently unreachable -- `group_count == 0` fail-closes first -- so it is fixed for consistency and deliberately NOT pinned by a test, because a case for unreachable code is the fragile kind the plan says to remove rather than add. Verified against shellcheck 0.11.0 at `-S info`, stricter than CI's container.

Classification and action are separated by the cancel-cap state-branch materialization, which fails closed. A run classified dispatcher-stuck was appended to the candidate list silently -- no summary line, and nothing in the Stuck bucket until a cancel actually succeeded. So when the state branch could not be read, the step summary said "a stuck run is pending" above a Stuck section reading `_(none)_`, and the operator had nothing to act on. That is the same defect class this PR exists to remove: a report whose content does not follow from what the audit observed. Every other verdict -- healthy, starved, excluded, not evaluable -- already announces itself at the point it is reached. This one did not, precisely because its announcement was deferred to a later stage that is allowed to abort. The verdict is now logged at classification with the run id, workflow, event, and URL, so it survives every exit path through the EXIT trap. The Stuck section keeps its narrower meaning (runs actually cancelled), which is what makes it worth reading. Pinned by extending the unusable-state-branch case to require the pending run be named; removing the log line fails it.

The previous commit made `regenerate()` record its failure so an unconverged generator could not ship green. It never cleared that record. When two merges land during the loop, the first regeneration can fail on an intermediate head and a later one converge on a newer head -- and the job still exited non-zero after pushing fully correct content. Fixing "always green" had produced "always red once anything hiccups". The flag now resets at the top of each `regenerate` call, so it describes the regeneration whose output actually reaches the remote rather than every attempt ever made. Verified by executing the extracted loop against a real local remote with two concurrent advances: with the reset it exits 0, without it exits 1. This loop has now produced a defect in two consecutive review rounds, so it is no longer reviewed on trust. `validate_post_merge_push_loop` runs the workflow's own push loop against a real bare repository, with `npm` and `git` stubs that fail a chosen generator N times and fail the first M pushes -- each failed push also advancing the remote, which is what makes the loop regenerate on a fresh head. Five rows cover a clean run, a straight retry, a generator that never converges (both branches), and a transient failure that later converges. All three mutations fail it: dropping either branch's failure flag, and removing the per-call reset. Two things the harness taught that reading could not. A generator failure with NO push failure exits 0 correctly, because the loop never calls `regenerate` at all -- that case belongs to the step that ran the generator, and an assertion demanding exit 1 there was asserting a path the loop does not own. And a transient llms.txt failure cannot reach a second regeneration: reverting llms.txt removes the only pending change, so the loop exits at "already current" first. That row is deliberately absent, with the reason recorded, rather than present and vacuous.

Eighteen guards could be deleted with `validate:all` still green, and the docstring said "across its whole verdict space". The worst of them: `if (( in_progress_count > 0 ))`. Delete it and a matrix run with cell 1 executing on runner-1 (holding a Unity licence seat) while cell 2 queues gets classified dispatcher-stuck, and the watchdog issues `gh run cancel` on a live Unity session mid-test. That is the seat leak the cleanup gate exists to catch, arriving from the tool meant to protect the queue. The root cause was mundane: `watchdog_jobs()` hardcoded `"status": "queued"`, so the strings `in_progress` and `completed` appeared nowhere in the suite and two of the eight verdicts were unreachable. The fixture now takes non-queued jobs, a per-run event, a creation timestamp, a pre-populated state branch with real cancel counts, a failing `ls-remote`, a failing `clone`, and raw (already `--jq`-extracted) route payloads. Fifteen mutations that previously survived now fail: the in-progress guard, the zero-queued-jobs guard, the self-run skip, the age filter and MIN_QUEUE_AGE_SECONDS, the cancel cap and MAX_CANCELS_PER_DAY, the 24h reset window, four more fail-closed paths (group-runner listing, clone, run metadata, job labels), both redispatch conditions, and `unique_by(.id)`. Two fixture defects were only visible once the mutations ran. `last_cancel` was stamped in the far future, so elapsed time was negative and no window size could change the verdict -- the 24h reset was untestable, not tested. And the inventory fail-closed case stubbed a failing runner-GROUP listing but never a failing per-group RUNNER listing, which is where the inventory is actually read; that `fail_closed` could be downgraded to a log line and the audit would report exit 0 over an empty inventory, the exact #328 shape. Also removes `any_self_hosted`, added in caa1652a. Round three proved exhaustively (64 combinations) that its only read is reachable solely when it is 0, so it printed a diagnostic counter that could never say anything else.

The `busy` branch never consulted it. A matrix run with one cell queued behind a busy runner and another needing an offline or unregistered one therefore reported only "healthy backpressure" -- no `::warning::`, no Starved row -- until every busy sibling finished, which on a Unity leg is hours. That is the #328 blindness in miniature: a starved job invisible because a sibling looks fine. The action was never wrong (a run with a busy match is not dispatcher-stuck and must not be cancelled); the report was. Both facts are now emitted. The run is still classified healthy, and the starvation still raises its warning and its summary row, because both are true at once. The reporting is factored into one `report_starvation` helper so the two branches cannot drift apart again. Round three saw this shape and filed it as matching the specification it was handed. Bugbot was right that the specification was the problem. Pinned by a case with one busy self-hosted set and one unsatisfiable one, asserting both verdicts. Strengthening that case exposed a weakness in three existing starved cases: they asserted the warning text, which also appears in the log line, so deleting the summary row entirely still passed. They now assert the Starved section is not `_(none)_`, and all three mutations fail -- dropping the busy-branch call, no-oping the helper, and discarding the row.

The continuation of its previous finding, and the more damaging half. The last commit taught the `busy` verdict to still call `report_starvation`. But `in_progress` exits earlier still, before the label sets are evaluated at all -- so the moment the busy runner actually picks up the healthy cell, the run becomes in-progress and the co-resident starved job goes silent again. That is the state that lasts for the rest of the matrix, so the fix closed the shorter window and left the longer one open. Classification now runs before the early exits, so `starved_kind` is known on every path that reports one. The exits keep their original order and their original messages; only the point at which the label sets are resolved has moved. Two conditions that used to `continue` directly -- no queued jobs, and queued jobs without labels -- are recorded as flags and evaluated in place, because a run can have both an in-progress job and unlabelled queued jobs, and the in-progress verdict is the one that describes it. The classification loop is now guarded with `${array[@]+"${array[@]}"}` since it can be reached with no label sets at all under `set -u`. Pinned by a case with an in-progress sibling and an unsatisfiable queued set, asserting both the healthy verdict and the starvation warning. Deleting the `report_starvation` call from the in-progress branch fails it, and the three guards the restructure moves past -- the in-progress guard itself, the zero-queued-jobs exit, and the unlabelled-jobs exit -- each still fail their own mutation.

The third and last shape of the same blindness, and the one that persists longest. An `idle` match `break`s out of the classification loop, so the remaining queued label sets were never scanned and `starved_kind` was never set; the dispatcher-stuck path then never called `report_starvation` either. A run with one dispatchable cell and one cell nothing can pick up was therefore cancelled with no starvation warning at all -- and because the dispatchable sibling keeps matching idle on every cycle, the starved cell stayed invisible across repeated cancel-and-redispatch rounds. The `busy` and `in_progress` fixes closed the short-lived windows; this is the one that never closes on its own. The loop no longer breaks. Scanning every set costs one jq call per set, and it is what makes the cancel verdict and the starvation report genuinely independent rather than accidentally coupled through loop control flow. The verdict precedence (idle > busy > offline > unregistered) is now explicit instead of emerging from the break, and the stuck path reports starvation before it queues the cancel -- that branch acts, so it is the one most likely to be read. Three commits have now fixed this same class in three branches. The cause was structural: the report was derived from wherever control flow happened to arrive rather than from state computed once. It is now computed once, before every exit, and every branch that reports a verdict also reports starvation. Making the precedence explicit created two new unguarded conditions, so both are pinned: a later `busy` set must not demote an earlier `idle` one (which would silently stop the run being cancelled), and a later `offline` set must not demote an earlier `busy` one. Both fixture orderings rely on jq `unique` sorting the sets, so the demoting set really is scanned second. All four mutations fail: restoring the break, dropping the stuck-path report, and each precedence guard.

These are the ten it could still delete. **`workflow_dispatch:` detection was never exercised.** The dispatcher-stuck case feeds `{"content": ""}`, which is not valid base64, so `base64 -d` fails and the grep never runs -- it reads as though it asserts detection while actually asserting the decode-failure path. Replacing the grep with `true` survived. A regression there would POST to a workflow with no such trigger, get a 422, and leave the run cancelled with no recovery. Pinned with a body that decodes cleanly and declares only `on: push`, which is the one input that separates the two. **Starvation precedence was entirely unpinned.** No case had two self-hosted sets starving for DIFFERENT reasons, so inverting the offline-versus- unregistered preference changed nothing. The inverted report points the operator at a machine that exists and will reconnect instead of the label set that needs a human -- the exact swap the code comment claims to prevent. **The 24h cap reset was structurally unreachable.** The stub hardcoded `last_cancel` an hour ago, so no case could place it outside the window; widening the window to 999999999 survived. The age is now a parameter, and a 25-hour-old cap must reset and cancel again. **The reader App token was proven minted, not used.** Dropping `GH_TOKEN="${RUNNER_INVENTORY_TOKEN}"` from `gh_reader` survived even though the harness already gave the two tokens distinct values. The stub now 403s any `orgs/*` call that does not carry the reader token, which is precisely #328's credential shape. **The push loop's top-of-loop regeneration was dead in the fixture.** Only the bottom-of-loop path (after a failed push) was reachable, so deleting the stale-head regeneration survived. That branch fires when master advances between the generator steps and the commit step -- without it the loop commits the old head's output onto a new head, which is what the whole stale-head design exists to prevent. **Per-cancel state persistence was unobservable.** Only one dispatcher-stuck run was ever exercised, so the final sync covered it and deleting the per-cancel push changed nothing. That immediacy is what makes the cap survive a crash partway through the loop; without it a job that dies after cancelling loses every increment and the next cycle cancels the same runs again. Two stuck runs now assert the push count. Also confines the audit's `mktemp` churn to each case's own directory. It was leaking roughly 440 entries per validator run into the developer's /tmp -- free on an ephemeral runner, permanent locally. Measured delta is now zero. The empty-clone warnings the push-loop fixture printed to stderr are captured. `validate:all` stays clean; the validator runs in 17s.

These are the four behaviors its mutations could still delete. **The harness could not tell the step summary from the job log.** `run_watchdog` returned `summary + stdout + stderr` as one string while `log_summary` tees to stdout, so every needle was satisfiable from the log alone and NO case could prove a line reached `GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY`. Three of the four buckets and the entire audit narrative were deletable with the suite green -- the operator's summary would have degraded to four bare headers unnoticed. The returned value is now a `str` subclass carrying `.summary`, so existing assertions are unchanged and the channel-specific ones are possible. **The starvation precedence fix was only superficially closed.** jq `unique` sorted the fixture's UNREGISTERED set first, so plain first-wins already gave the right answer and the upgrade clause never executed. Round four pinned "a later set must not clobber an earlier one", not the upgrade its comment claims. The sets are relabelled so the offline one sorts first, which is the only ordering where the clause does any work. **A rejected `gh run cancel` was unpinned.** `cancel_ok` existed as a knob that no case ever set. Without the guard the audit increments the cap, pushes state, and RE-DISPATCHES a run it never cancelled -- a duplicate of live work. **The maintenance terminal gate had no coverage at all**, despite its own comment saying that without it a generator that never converged is reported green. Eight outcome pairs now execute it. Alongside it: both generator reverts and the non-race push failure are pinned by reading back what actually reached the remote, per file. Asserting exit codes alone let the reverts be deleted, and a push rejected while master stood still could report green having pushed nothing. Two fixture bugs surfaced only by running these. The combined-blob assertion could not tell whose marker it saw, since the SUCCEEDING generator legitimately writes one; and a transient failure that later converges legitimately pushes its output, so the revert assertion belongs only on the never-converged rows. Also documents in .llm/context.md that agents must not poll GitHub: every `gh` invocation re-presents credentials, so a 60-second watch loop over a 40-minute Unity matrix is 40 authenticated calls, and several at once multiply it. The credential ORDER was already documented; the volume rule was not, and this session violated it badly.

Each block was individually justified by a surviving mutation, which is exactly how a suite accretes duplication without anyone deciding to. Table rows now carry an optional sixth element of `run_watchdog` kwargs, so a case needing a failing push, a pre-populated cancel cap, a stale cap, a failing `ls-remote`, a failing clone, or a rejected cancel is a ROW. Six blocks folded; the whole verdict space reads as one table. 136 lines removed, and all six behaviors still fail their own mutation as rows. Four standalone blocks remain on purpose, because their assertions are not substring checks and forcing them into the table would obscure rather than share: the summary-channel loop (asserts the `.summary` view specifically), the emit-once count, the per-cancel push count, and the EXIT-trap probe. The validator is 3032 lines against master's 1774. That is a lot, and worth stating plainly: it covers ~1080 lines of workflow bash that can cancel a live Unity run and can free a licence seat, none of which any other check in this repository executes. Every case earned its place by killing a mutation that survived without it.

The previous commit folded six standalone cases into table rows and removed 136 lines. It also removed a span that contained two OTHER blocks -- the EXIT-trap probe and the step-summary channel assertions -- which had been added one commit earlier to close round five's findings. `validate:all` stayed green, so I shipped it. Green was not evidence. Those two blocks only fail when the WORKFLOW is mutated; deleting the assertions themselves breaks nothing. So the suite lost the coverage silently, which is precisely the failure mode this file exists to catch, arriving through a cleanup. Bugbot spotted it structurally, from the fact that `WatchdogOutput.summary` and `break_date` had no callers left -- a dead seam is the visible symptom of a deleted test. Both restored, and both verified live: removing `trap on_exit EXIT`, deleting `cat "${summary_file}"`, deleting the Starved bucket, or dropping `log_summary`'s `tee` each fail the suite again. Without them, all four survive. The lesson worth keeping: a refactor of a TEST file cannot be validated by running the tests. It has to be validated by re-running the mutations the tests exist to kill, which is the check I skipped.

Bugbot could only see the two that left a dead seam behind -- `WatchdogOutput.summary` and `break_date` with no callers. The other four left no such trace, so nothing pointed at them. Each was killed before the fold and survived after it: - **the cancel cap can be made completely inert.** Deleting `state_dirty=1` makes `persist_state_changes` return early on every call, so no cancel count is ever committed. Every cycle then reads `cancels=0` and cancels the same run again, without limit, against live Unity runs holding licence seats. This is the single most dangerous unpinned behavior in the file and the fold removed its only test. - the unparseable-job-labels guard could become `continue` -- a run skipped and the audit green over a queue it never evaluated, the #328 fail-open shape. - the unclassifiable-run guard could become `continue`, same shape. - `MIN_QUEUE_AGE_SECONDS: "300"` could become `"0"`, classifying normal scheduling latency as dispatcher-stuck and cancelling it. Three are restored as table ROWS, so the fold's benefit survives; only the cap needs a standalone block, because it asserts a push COUNT. The `datetime` import is live again, which is what its unused state was quietly reporting. Also closes two gaps round six found that predate the fold: - Two of the four `exit "${regenerate_failed}"` sites were unreachable, so either could become `exit 0` undetected -- reinstating the always-green bug 764540b1 claims to fix. The "already current" exit is now reached by a `quiet_other` fixture where the failing generator's revert leaves nothing to commit. - The exclusion list only ever saw bare filenames, leaving `base="${wf##*/}"` unpinned. `release.yml` cannot prove it, since the workflow's own default list already excludes it; a workflow excluded SOLELY by a prefixed repo-variable entry can. Two fixture bugs of my own surfaced while writing these, both the same shape as the bug being fixed: a case that does not reach the branch it names. The exclusion case was shadowed by the default list, and the "already current" case never got there because the other generator rewrote its file every call.

A regression there leaves every dispatcher-stuck push run cancelled and never re-triggered, silently, with a summary that says it was re-dispatched. The stub now serves that path its own marker, ordered ahead of the broader `actions/workflows/42` route which was swallowing it. **The "already current" verdict exit is now reachable.** It is one of two sites where `exit "${regenerate_failed}"` could become `exit 0` undetected, reinstating the always-green bug 764540b1 claims to fix. It needed a fixture where the failing generator's revert leaves nothing to commit, which meant stopping the other generator rewriting its file on every call. The sibling "No staged changes remain" exit is left deliberately unpinned, with the reason recorded in the workflow: `git add` makes the staged and unstaged views agree, so reaching it requires them to disagree, and every fixture that tries exercises the branch above instead. A case for an unreachable branch is not coverage, it is decoration -- the same call made earlier for the third `mapfile` guard.

The most serious finding of the PR, and it was mine. `always()` includes CANCELLED. Four steps used it -- the second generator, the change probe, the commit-and-push, and the terminal gate -- so a cancelled run kept going. A generator killed mid-write never reaches its own revert, so the tree can hold a half-written file; the probe then reports it as a change and the push step commits it to the default branch. This is not an edge case. The workflow sets `cancel-in-progress: true`, so a second push to master cancels the first mid-flight as a matter of routine. The two workflows this one replaced had no `always()` at all and simply stopped, so the behaviour is a regression introduced by consolidating them. All four now use `!cancelled()`, which keeps the property they were added for -- running after a FAILED sibling, which is the generator isolation -- while stopping on a cancel, where the revert guarantee does not hold. Pinned by `validate_post_merge_cancellation_policy`, which asserts each of the four is gated on `!cancelled()` and that none says `always()`. It also asserts `cancel-in-progress: true` is still set, so if the concurrency policy is ever relaxed the guard's premise gets re-examined rather than silently outliving its reason. All four mutations fail it. Worth recording why I missed this: I reached for `always()` to express "run even after a failed generator" and never asked what else `always()` admits. The condition was right about failure and wrong about cancellation, and no test could catch it because `if:` conditions are GitHub expressions, not shell -- the executed truth tables in this file cannot reach them. That is why the guard is structural.
