Flaky. No test failed: the check failed because a run was cancelled. On PR #33455 a label was added and another removed 1s apart (06:37:58, 06:37:59). Each pull_request labeled/unlabeled event started an 'Agent Context Budget' run. The workflow's concurrency group with cancel-in-progress cancelled the first run (43380050581 attempt 1, conclusion cancelled, no steps ran, hence the empty logs), and a cancelled run reports as a failed check. A rerun passed. Fix: remove the concurrency block from .github/workflows/agent-context-budget.yml. The job is a ~5s read-only jq comparison, so parallel runs are harmless, and each run still reads current main and its event's labels. The group was removed outright rather than just turning off cancel-in-progress, because GitHub would still cancel a queued pending run in the same group.

Reproduction on main

Run the failing check on main.

Evidence

The checks on this pull request are the proof: it changes what main's checks run, not what the app does.

Tests

Confirmed the cause from the GitHub REST API: run attempts, job conclusions and the PR's issue events. Parsed the edited workflow YAML with python3 yaml (valid, no concurrency key). Ran the workflow's jq comparison of agentContextBudget.json against origin/main 20 times: 20/20 pass. actionlint and oxfmt were not available or installed in the checkout. The change is workflow config only, so no product test suite applies.

Not in this change

• Other workflows triggered by label events that use cancel-in-progress may have the same cancelled-check problem; I did not audit them.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 811001e

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Label bursts will no longer cancel overlapping agent-context-budget checks. Budget enforcement stays unchanged, and the additional runs are isolated, read-only comparisons with an existing timeout.

The workflow no longer groups runs by pull request or cancels an in-progress run when another run starts. A comment records that label events can arrive in bursts and canceled runs report as failed checks.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 81100

Removing the concurrency group stops cancelled runs from showing as failed checks. It also means a rapid label-then-unlabel sequence could, rarely, leave a stale budget result on the commit. The workflow is small and the risk is bounded, so this is mergeable with owner awareness; consider reading the current labels at run time.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the Agent Context Budget workflow runs are no longer cancelled by label event bursts. The raw summary confirms the concurrency group and cancel-in-progress were removed from the workflow, which matches the title. The 'ci:' conventional prefix fits a workflow-only change. The title is 69 characters, slightly above a typical short title, but it stays specific and readable.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem (a flaky check caused by a cancelled run after rapid label events), the change (removing the concurrency block), and verification (REST API checks, YAML parsing, 20 local jq runs). It also notes what was not checked and who did the work. It does not follow the template headings exactly: it lacks explicit '## Problem', '## Change', and '## Scope' sections, and it has no issue link or statement on why no issue is needed. The 'Reproduction on main' and 'Evidence' sections are also not in the template. The 'Scope' requirement (link to an issue or explain why none is needed, and the template's bug-fix framing) is not addressed. The content is substantive, so the check passes with a note on structure.

Overlapping label runs can leave a stale budget result on the commit.

The job no longer serializes runs. A labeled run and an unlabeled run for the same head commit can therefore overlap. Each run reads agent-context-increase from its own event payload (line 21). If the earlier run completes last, the Checks API latest filter (by completed_at) returns its result. The commit can then show a budget state that no longer matches the PR labels. A stale pass can allow unapproved growth. A stale failure can block a valid increase until someone reruns the check.

Compute the label state at run time. Add pull-requests: read to permissions. Replace the event-payload ALLOW_INCREASE expression with a step that reads the PR's current labels through the API. Do not rely on cancel-in-progress, because a cancelled run reports as a failed check.
