Summary

The unsharded macos control lane has a 30-minute job budget and needs about fifty minutes, so it has never once completed. Every run was cancelled slightly past halfway, and those cancellations were read as runner capacity for months.

An authorized one-off measurement let it finish for the first time: Test step 23:13:17Z to 00:03:56Z, 50m39s wall, Bun reporting 3034.18s across 26526 tests in 1343 files. The suite exited on its own rather than being killed, so that is a complete number rather than a prefix.

This raises the budget to 75 minutes, which is the measured duration plus roughly 24 minutes of headroom. The number is measured, not guessed — that distinction matters here because tests/helpers/test-budget.ts sets out the two conditions a budget increase has to meet, and the first is that the wait is intrinsic to what is being asserted. It is: this lane exists to run the whole suite in one process, which is the only place shared-process and cross-file ordering pressure is observable at all.

What this is not. It is not a fix for anything that run reported. The first complete run surfaced four tests that exceed their own timeouts under shared-process pressure — web-search heartbeat retry at 6233ms against 5000, image non-droppable at 60323 against 60000, imageTierBias at 91516 against 60000, and provider-option ownership spine at 31801 against 30000. Those are tracked in #4997 and remain open. Raising this budget is what made them observable and must not be read as resolving them.

It is also not a change to any other lane. Only macos-control moves; the Linux shards stay at 15, platform-macos at 20, platform-windows at 30.

Sharding this lane was considered and rejected: it would delete the only oracle for cross-file ordering pressure in the repository, which is a strange thing to remove in the same round where order-dependent hangs are the open question (#4956).

Closes #4905.

Verification

Local verification was not run because this lane forbids local suites, builds, typechecks, installs and ocx invocations; hosted CI is the executable verification.

tests/ci-workflows/ci-workflows.test.ts pins every job budget, so the guard assertion moves with the workflow in the same change and the pairing is enforced rather than conventional. That guard is what failed the measurement branch, correctly, which is how the 30 was confirmed to be load-bearing rather than incidental.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. This edits a GitHub Actions workflow, which AGENTS.md places behind explicit security review. The change is a single timeout-minutes value on one job. It adds no permission, no secret, no action reference, no trigger and no runner label, and it cannot affect what any job is allowed to do.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Increased the macOS control workflow timeout to 75 minutes to accommodate longer runs.
    • Added documentation explaining the updated timeout based on observed execution times.
    • Updated automated checks to validate the revised timeout.

리뷰 · 우선순위 76 / 80

이 PR은 macos-control(이름: macos control) 잡의 timeout-minutes를 30에서 75로 올리고, 그 숫자를 tests/ci-workflows/ci-workflows.test.ts의 예산 핀도 같이 맞춥니다. 지금 dev HEAD(baae9057b, tip #5023 catalog contextWindow 백필)에서 이 잡은 workflow_dispatch일 때만 돌고, Linux/platform-macos/platform-windows 샤드와는 다른 “한 프로세스에 전체 스위트” 제어선입니다. 샤딩이 가리는 공유 프로세스·파일 간 순서 압력을 보는 유일한 자리라서, 예산이 짧으면 스위트가 끝나기 전에 잡이 잘리고, 그 잘림이 오랫동안 러너 용량 문제로 읽혔습니다. 본문이 말한 것처럼 인가된 일회 측정에서 처음으로 끝까지 갔고(벽시계 약 50분 39초, Bun 3034.18s / 26526 tests / 1343 files), 그 측정값에 대략 24분 여유를 더한 75입니다. 다른 잡 예산(Linux 샤드 15, platform-macos 20, platform-windows 30)은 건드리지 않습니다.

현재 dev의 .github/workflows/ci.yml에서 macos-control은 여전히 timeout-minutes: 30이고, 가드 테스트도 30을 기대합니다. 그래서 워크플로만 올리고 핀을 안 바꾸면 ci-workflows 테스트가 바로 빨갛게 됩니다. 이 PR은 그 두 곳을 한 커밋에 묶어, “예산은 측정에 맞추고, 핀은 워크플로와 같이 움직인다”는 기존 규칙을 그대로 지킵니다. tests/helpers/test-budget.ts가 말하는 예산 올리기 조건(기다림이 주장에 본질적인가)과도 맞습니다. 이 레인은 전체를 한 풀에서 돌리는 것 자체가 목적이라, 예산 확장이 그 주장을 가리는 꼼수가 아니라 측정된 벽에 맞추는 쪽에 가깝습니다.

닫는 이슈는 #4905입니다. 그 이슈의 핵심은 “30분 근처에서 취소되어 완료된 pass/fail이 없다”는 증거 문제였고, 이 변경은 그 벽을 치워 완료 결과가 나오게 합니다. 동시에 본문이 분명히 적어 둔 대로, 첫 완료 런에서 보인 개별 테스트 타임아웃 네 건(#4997)이나 자식이 조용히 멈추는 문제(#4956)를 고친 것은 아닙니다. 예산을 올린 덕분에 그 신호들이 보이게 된 것이고, 그걸 “고쳤다”로 읽으면 안 됩니다. 샤딩으로 이 레인을 없애자는 선택도 거절한 이유가 타당합니다. 순서 의존 행(#4956)이 열린 지금, 유일하게 그걸 볼 수 있는 오라클을 지우는 것은 거꾸로입니다.

라인 650 근처 (.github/workflows/ci.yml macos-control) - timeout-minutes: 30 → 75. 변경 자체는 숫자와 설명 주석뿐이고, permissions·secret·action·trigger·runner label은 안 건드린다. AGENTS.md가 워크플로 편집을 보안 리뷰 뒤로 두는 것과 충돌하지 않는 범위다.

라인 121 근처 (tests/ci-workflows/ci-workflows.test.ts) - 핀이 30→75로 같이 움직인다. 워크플로와 핀이 어긋나면 가드가 잡도록 되어 있으니, 이 페어링은 유지되어야 한다.

경로 macos-control 잡 전체 - 이 잡은 PR 푸시가 아니라 workflow_dispatch(및 lane=macos-control)에서만 돈다. 일반 PR CI 시간을 늘리지는 않지만, 수동/전체 디스패치마다 macOS 러너를 최대 75분 붙잡는다. 비용·큐 대기와 진짜 hang(#4956)이 있을 때 취소까지 더 오래 기다리는 트레이드오프는 남는다.

Update the stale timeout comment.

Changing timeout-minutes to 75 leaves Lines 715-718 stating that the 30m job timeout is the outer backstop. Update that comment to 75m so the workflow documentation matches the enforced limit.

Merging with macOS legs outstanding, and recording why rather than leaving it implicit.

At this exact head the full Linux suite (test 1/4 through 4/4), gates, storage policy, enforce-target, the docs build, and the keyring and npm-global smokes are green. The macOS legs are queued behind a saturated hosted-runner pool shared by several concurrent lanes, and the sharded macOS legs are separately known to go silent mid-suite and be cancelled at their job budget — a long-standing defect recorded with six occurrences in #4956, including two from the 2.58.0 round that were previously written off as capacity.

This change is platform-neutral, so waiting on a queue that is both saturated and known-unreliable would delay the work without adding information. The evidence that governs the release is not per-PR macOS legs; it is the full-platform lane=all dispatch at the frozen release candidate, which is held until #4956 has a named cause. Nothing is promoted on the strength of this merge.

Stating the boundary plainly: this is merged on Linux, gates and cross-platform smoke evidence at its exact head, with macOS coverage deferred to the candidate run rather than claimed here.

A `workflow_dispatch` against `dev` landed in the same concurrency group as
the `push` runs on `dev`, because the group was keyed on `github.ref` alone
and `cancel-in-progress` was unconditionally true. The next merge therefore
cancelled the dispatch. Run 35318264610 was cancelled in the same second its
job started, three minutes after it was queued.

The lane this hurt is `macos control`, the longest job in the workflow at
roughly fifty minutes, so on a branch under active development the odds that
no merge landed inside its window were close to zero. A maintainer
dispatching it for release evidence usually got nothing back and had no
reason to notice, because a cancelled job reports neither pass nor fail.
Those cancellations were read as runner capacity for months; raising the
budget from 30 to 75 minutes in #5028 did not change them.

Supersession is still what `push` and `pull_request` want, so they keep it.
A dispatch is keyed on `github.run_id` instead, which is unique per run, so
each dispatch is a group of one: it cancels nothing and nothing cancels it,
including a second dispatch of the same ref.

Closes #5037.
