fix(stress): the shard job's runner comes from the workflow, not from the pull request's plan (celeris#864) - #486

… the pull request's plan (celeris#864)
On pull_request the shard matrix is the output of `go run
./tools/stresstally plan`, the pull request's own code, and the job ran
on `runs-on: ${{ matrix.runner }}`. A pull request that changed only
tools/stresstally/plan.go could therefore name any runner label the
repository has, the cluster hosts' repo-level runners included, with no
change under .github/ for a maintainer to see before "Approve and run".
A member's fork pull request is not held for approval at all.
The shard now runs on a label this file allow-lists (ubuntu-24.04,
ubuntu-24.04-arm, the two plan.go names), falls back to ubuntu-24.04 for
anything else, and its first step fails such a shard naming what the plan
asked for. TestStressShardRunnerIsChosenByTheWorkflow pins the expression,
the refusal step and the agreement with plan.go's runners map.

…nd CONTRIBUTING stop calling the head-repo check the fork boundary (celeris#864) Review of 587806c: - shard's runs-on passed an allowed label through as the plan wrote it, so a planned UBUNTU-24.04 became runs-on UBUNTU-24.04. It now yields one of the two literals in the workflow (== ignores case, as contains() does), so the plan's text never reaches runs-on. The refusal step is unchanged. - matrix-pr-tier.yml and CONTRIBUTING.md said a fork PR never reaches the cluster. The head-repo check is in the workflow file, which a fork PR can edit; what holds such a PR is the approval policy, which does not hold an organization member's fork PR (celeris#864). loadgen#108 corrects the same claim in loadgen's codspeed.yml. - CONTRIBUTING.md also said the label is consumed per event. Since #360 every push re-runs the cluster job while the label stays on.

### Cluster runs need the `cluster-ok` label
The PR Validation workflow (`.github/workflows/matrix-pr-tier.yml`) executes on the self-hosted bench cluster, so it does not run on every push. A maintainer reviews the diff and adds the `cluster-ok` label; only then does the cluster job start, and only for branches that live in this repository. That branch check is in the workflow file, so it does not stop a fork PR that edits the file or adds a workflow of its own: what holds such a PR is the fork-PR approval policy, so never "Approve and run" a fork PR that touches `.github/`, and an organization member's fork PR does not wait for approval at all (goceleris/celeris#864). While the label stays on, every push to the branch runs the cluster job again (#360); remove the label to stop that. Cluster runs queue behind any in-flight nightly, weekend-soak or benchmark run and are never cancelled.

GitHub Actions documentation pull_request branches paths filters both must match base branch synchronize event
💡 Result:
Yes. For `pull_request`, **`branches` and `paths` are both evaluated, and both must match** for the workflow to run. The `branches` filter matches the PR’s **base (target) branch**, not its head/source branch. To filter on the head branch, use `github.head_ref` in a job condition. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/workflow-syntax?source=post_page-----b008ed5f3edc--------------------------------&utm_source=openai))
```yaml
on:
pull_request:
types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
branches: [main]
paths: ['src/**']
```
This runs for those PR activity types—including `synchronize`—only when the PR targets `main` **and** changes a path matching `src/**`. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows?utm_source=openai))

- 2: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows?utm_source=openai
Qualify the push rerun claim. At CONTRIBUTING.md:46, “every push” is too broad. A synchronize run requires the PR to target main and its changed paths to match the workflow’s paths filter. The guard also requires the cluster-ok label and a head branch in this repository. branches: [main] filters the PR’s base branch, not its source branch.

Defect
On
pull_request, celeris-stress'sshardjob ran on a runner label chosen by code outside.github/. Line numbers are at 5792853, unchanged at b24f56e, a814a5e and today's main 3f3a403:planjob runsgo run ./tools/stresstally plan(celeris-stress.yml:215). On a pull request, that is the pull request's own code.shardtakes its matrix from that output (fromJSON(needs.plan.outputs.matrix), :267) and runs onruns-on: ${{ matrix.runner }}(:255).tools/stresstally/**(:153).So a pull request that changed only
tools/stresstally/plan.go(for examplerunners["x86"], plan.go:135, used at :749) could send its shard to any runner label this repository has. That includesceleris-cluster, the label of the three repo-level cluster runners. Those runners are online, and some of them idle, for the whole of every cluster run: at 03:23Z today a Benchmark Tier run had msr1 busy while the other two were idle (logs/runner-window.log)..github/workflows" would not catch it, because nothing under.github/changes.All the other
pull_requestjobs that reach non-GitHub-hosted runners have fixed labels in their workflow files (truth table below).Round 2: the same claim in probatorium's own docs. goceleris/loadgen#108 corrects loadgen's "code from a fork never runs on" the macro runner. probatorium said the same about the cluster, and the lane missed it until the review (lines at main 3f3a403, unchanged since b24f56e):
The head-repo check is in the workflow file. On
pull_requestthe workflow files come from the pull request's merge ref, so a fork pull request can drop the check, or add a workflow of its own that names[self-hosted, celeris-cluster]. What holds such a pull request is the approval policy, and that policy does not hold an organization member's fork pull request (goceleris/celeris#864). CONTRIBUTING.md:42 also said "The label is consumed per event — re-add it after any push you want re-validated". Since #360, the workflow runs again on every push while the label stays on (matrix-pr-tier.yml:39-40,types: [labeled, synchronize]).The review also found that
runs-onpassed an allowed label through as the plan wrote it. A plannedUBUNTU-24.04gaveruns-on: UBUNTU-24.04, so the comment's "only the two GitHub-hosted labels in this list are ever used" was not literally true. That is not a hole: no runner carries such a label, and GitHub matches labels without case.Fix
shard'sruns-onis now${{ matrix.runner == 'ubuntu-24.04-arm' && 'ubuntu-24.04-arm' || 'ubuntu-24.04' }}(round 2). It always yields one of the two GitHub-hosted labels, spelled as the workflow spells them, never the plan's text.==ignores case, ascontains()does, so a plannedUbuntu-24.04-ARMruns onubuntu-24.04-arm. Round 1'scontains(...) && matrix.runner || 'ubuntu-24.04'passed the planned spelling through.["ubuntu-24.04","ubuntu-24.04-arm"], the shard runs on ubuntu-24.04, and the step fails it, naming the label the plan asked for.TestStressShardRunnerIsChosenByTheWorkflowpins three things: the expression, that the refusal is the first step, and that the allow-list agrees with plan.go's map.TestStressWorkflowReachesTheClusterOnlyThroughItsGatedJobnow accepts that expression instead of the bare${{ matrix.runner }}..github/), and that member fork pull requests are not held (CI: the fork-PR approval policy exempts org members, so a read-only member's fork PR runs codspeed.yml on the macro runner without approval celeris#864).Controls
