fix(ci): reuse PR validation after merging behind master; re-run only affected shards - #2159

Conversation
…vered lines Every runtime pull request that was behind master, or that touched a test file, ran all 116 shards. Reproduced on #2100's exact merge commit with the exact certified map CI used: 22 changed files, 25 escalation reasons, full matrix. With this change the same inputs select 4 of 116 shards. Three independent causes, all fixed here: 1. Stale base. The selector diffed from github.event.pull_request.base.sha, which is the base branch as it was when the pull request was opened. For a pull request behind master it charged every commit master had gained since to the pull request (16 merged CI-control files on #2100). The selector now takes the pull request head, verifies the checkout is the two-parent merge of it, and uses the merge commit's first parent: the base actually tested. Only the pull request's own paths are selected for; map line numbers still come from the map commit. 2. Test sources are never in the coverage map (5,931 of 5,932 map files are under src/), so any test-file edit escalated. They are now routed to the shards whose test-shards.yml filters select their tests, following the transitive closure of test files that use their types. Anything reference search cannot follow (extension methods, collection definitions, assembly attributes, abstract bases and types the source generator names, which build-time generated tests can derive from) still escalates. 3. A changed range no shard executes (field declarations, attributes, the insertion point of new code) escalated. It now routes to every shard that executes the same file; a new .cs file routes to the owners of its nearest mapped directory, never above a two-segment root. Unmapped non-C# files still escalate, and src/AiDotNet.Generators is now explicit full validation because it runs inside the compiler. Every selected shard now logs why it was selected. The nightly miss audit passes the audited tree's manifest through, so it measures the new routing against complete matrices.

In @.github/workflows/sonarcloud.yml:
- Around line 2728-2737: Update Resolve-CiValidationReuse.ps1 so partial reuse
is emitted only when a matching test-results-${testedSha}-<slug> artifact exists
for every imported shard, alongside the existing ci-test-analysis, coverage, and
test-outcome-ledger checks. If any required shard artifact is missing, decline
reuse and rerun validation; preserve the current complete-reuse behavior.
- Around line 834-835: The normal selection path in Select-Shards.ps1 can retain
a nonzero $LASTEXITCODE after a no-match git grep and finish without an explicit
success status. Add a terminal exit 0 after the selection try/catch, preserving
both existing caller checks and the current selection behavior.
- Around line 172-176: Add a step-level timeout-minutes value to the “Resolve
certified shard map for delta reuse” step identified by id “delta-map”, ensuring
stalled gh run list or gh run download calls cannot consume the job’s remaining
time before Resolve-CiValidationReuse.ps1 executes.
In `@tools/TestImpact/Resolve-CiValidationReuse.ps1`:
- Line 476: Update the Exit-Escalated result in Select-Shards.ps1 to include
routes = @(), matching the property consumed by Resolve-CiValidationReuse.ps1.
Preserve the existing escalation tree and full-matrix decision while ensuring
strict-mode access to Selection.routes succeeds.
In `@tools/TestImpact/Select-Shards.ps1`:
- Around line 1066-1067: Update Get-CSharpTestShape’s modifier extraction to
scan declaration modifiers across preceding lines rather than only the text
after the last newline before the class or record keyword. Ensure multiline
public abstract and file declarations correctly set IsAbstract and FileLocal so
Get-TestFileRoutes preserves abstract-base hazard escalation.
In `@tools/TestImpact/Test-CiImpactWorkflow.ps1`:
- Around line 314-317: Update the contract assertion for the “Resolve certified
shard map for delta reuse” step, identified by $deltaMapStep, to also require
the workflow identity “id: delta-map”. Preserve the existing checks for
continue-on-error and both certified shard map scripts.

…ead multi-line modifiers Three defects in the selector, raised in review of #2159 against code this PR introduced: - Select-Shards fell off the end without `exit`, so its exit code was the last native command's. Test-source routing runs git grep, which exits 1 when nothing matches - e.g. the type names of a test file the pull request deletes - and the workflow reads a nonzero exit as a selector failure and runs the full matrix, discarding a valid selection. Reproduced with a real repository: selection {Alpha}, escalate false, exit code 1. Now exit 0; the new end-to-end case fails without it ("a valid selection exited 1"). - Escalation results had no `routes` property while successful ones did; consumers reading it under StrictMode crash on the escalated shape. - Get-CSharpTestShape read declaration modifiers from the keyword's line only, so `public abstract` or `file` on the line above `class` was lost and an abstract base could be routed instead of escalating. Modifiers now run back to the previous declaration or attribute boundary. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_017otuSGr3GdmvPoYLbiaWR2
… affected shards
A pull request merged while behind master lands a tree its run never
validated, so exact-tree reuse never matched and the master push re-ran the
full matrix. Delta reuse decides from the certified map instead:
- Rebuild the validated tree with `git merge-tree --write-tree` from the
tested merge commit's parents (that commit is usually unfetchable after
merge) and require it to equal the tree GitHub reports, byte for byte.
- Select over what the landed commit adds to that tree (Select-Shards
-DeltaFromTree). Needs the full matrix -> run everything. Reaches none of
the pull request's shards -> reuse its results (Validation scope only:
CodeQL and Sonar analysed a different tree). Reaches some -> re-run only
those, and import the pull request run's per-shard artifacts for the rest
so the landed commit's ledger, analysis and Sonar coverage stay complete.
Selection precision: in pull-request and delta modes the change's own
ranges are now carried back to the map's line numbers through map -> base,
instead of diffing map -> HEAD, which swept in every edit master made to
the same files since the map. Where a change reaches lines master
introduced since the map (a move shows as delete + insert), the old sweep
is added back. A 120-trial property test over real git diffs, with moves,
checks no mapped line a change touches is dropped; mutants that remove the
sweep, flip the offset or reintroduce a deletion off-by-one all fail it.
Also: canaries into ci-proof/** now select with master's map (none is ever
built on a proof branch, so the harness could not prove selection), and
fetch-depth uses quoted literals ('&& 0 ||' always yields 1).
Measured on real data: #2100 validated on 88364e9 and landing on today's
master rebuilds its tree exactly (3add644) and plans Reuse: 0 of 116 shards
re-run, where today's exact-tree check runs all 116.

…rtifact, harden reads Review of #2159: - The delta-map step had no duration bound; continue-on-error limits the outcome, not the time, so a stalled gh call could eat the job's margin before the resolver's own 40-minute wait began. timeout-minutes: 10. - A partial plan imports coverage-<tested>-<slug> and test-results-<tested>-<slug> for every imported shard by exact name, and every consumer fails on a missing one. The resolver now checks both exist in the pull request run (Get-MissingImportArtifacts) and declines to the full matrix instead of emitting a plan that turns the landed commit red. - Selector output is read through Get-OptionalArray, so an older or escalated result without routes/reasons cannot crash the resolve step under StrictMode (the selector side of this landed in #2156). - A contract pins the step's id (delta-map), which its outputs are read through, and its timeout. Also rebased onto #2156's review commits (directory-owner index, exit 0, result-shape and multi-line-modifier fixes); the two end-to-end additions were independent and are both kept.

Summary
After a PR passes, merging it into master used to re-run the full 116-shard matrix, unless the PR happened to be exactly up to date. This PR makes the master push reuse the PR's validation across whatever master gained in between, re-running only the shards those intervening commits could have affected.
On real data: #2100 was validated on master
88364e91. If it landed on today's master (1c8647e2), where master has since gained #2118's docs and release-workflow change:The validated tree was rebuilt byte-for-byte (
3add6444…) from the tested merge commit's parents. That confirmsgit merge-tree --write-treereproduces GitHub's test merge for a real PR.Why exact-tree reuse almost never fired
Resolve-CiValidationReuse.ps1reused a PR's certificate only whentree(PR tested commit) == tree(landed commit). That holds only if nothing else merged between the PR's last CI run and its own merge. With many PRs open, it almost never holds. Of 12 recent master push runs, 2 reused, 11 were cancelled by the next merge, and the rest ran everything (e.g. run 34279678108: 100 jobs, ~3h).How delta reuse decides
The landed commit
Lequals the PR's validated treeTplus exactly what master gained since, called Δ.T. The tested merge commit is usually unfetchable once itsrefs/pull/N/mergeref moves, but its parents (the old master tip and the PR head) are still reachable.git merge-tree --write-tree base headmust reproduce the tree GitHub reports for the tested commit exactly. A conflict or any difference means a full run (fail closed).Select-Shards -DeltaFromTree <T>).Δ ∩ PR shards, and import the PR run's per-shard artifacts for the restReuse is never Complete-scoped: CodeQL and Sonar analysed
T, notL, so they always run again. A shard Δ affects that the PR didn't run was validated by the commits that make up Δ, each on its own run. This PR's change doesn't reach that shard, which is the same premise PR selection rests on, and the nightly miss audit measures it.Partial runs stay complete. The regression ledger, aggregate analysis and Sonar coverage for
Lare built from fresh results for re-run shards plus the PR run's artifacts (coverage-<T>-<slug>,test-results-<T>-<slug>) for the rest, viaImport-PullRequestShardArtifacts.ps1. A missing artifact for a shard reuse relied on fails the job, because that evidence can't be claimed. Imported shards are not reported as "skipped" to the regression analysis.Selection precision (PR mode as well)
With a change expressed against a base the map doesn't describe, #2156 took ranges from
map → HEADfor the change's files. That also sweeps in every edit master made to the same files since the map. Now the change's own ranges are carried back to the map's line numbers throughmap → base(Convert-RangesThroughHunks):map → HEADsweep for that file is added back.Checked by a 120-trial property test over real
git diffoutput, with random deletes, inserts, replaces and moves. Every map line whose content a change touches must be inside the carried-back ranges: 0 violations. The test fails on each of three mutants: sweep removed (5 lines dropped), offset sign flipped (125 dropped), and a deletion-neighbour off-by-one I introduced and then fixed while writing this.Proof

Results will be posted on this PR.All twelve impact-tooling suites pass locally (pwsh 7.6).
Two harness and CI fixes found along the way
ci-proof/**harness could never prove selection. A canary into a proof branch looked for maps built on that branch; maps are only built on master, so every canary ran the full matrix. It now uses master's map.fetch-depth: ${{ github.event_name == 'push' && 0 || 1 }}always evaluates to 1. In GitHub expressions0is falsy.
