timothyandClaude Opus 5.5 8acba80a1a fix(935): state the measured fact (both hosts 1.7 on 2026-10-28), not an unmeasured mixed fleet
The fleet is uniform on jq 1.7 per the job logs; 1.6 stays in the set only because the
image tag is unpinned. Real-jq 1.6 coverage is currently absent, and the shims cover only
the empty-input -e quirk, not the NUL or parse-error ones. Measurement dated by the job
date. Remaining "runner's jq 1.6" comments reworded.

name: PR Gates
# Fast, git-only PR gates split out of docker-build.yml into a dedicated `on: pull_request`
# workflow (ersatztv#535) so they are NEVER created on a tag/main push.
#
# WHY THIS FILE EXISTS. These checks are cheap `checkout + git diff` gates (or, for `script-tests`,
# checkout + pytest): they carry no `container:`, run on the `small` lane (git-only, 1 GiB;
# server-management#639), and are PR-only.
# While they lived in docker-build.yml — which also triggers on push to main and on `v*` tags —
# Gitea still DISPATCHED them as runner tasks on every such push to evaluate the `if:` skip, because
# **Gitea dispatches a job as a runner task even when its `if` skips it** (docs/ci-cd.md -> the
# `small` lane). On the v26.12.0 release tag those dispatched skip-tasks wedged in act's setup phase
# and were killed by a runner restart mid-setup, so they reported `failure` (no logs) and reddened
# the tag's overall commit status even though the release built, scanned, and deployed fine
# (ersatztv#535). The two PR-only jobs on `ubuntu-latest` (`api-docs`, `format`) carry the identical
# `if:` and skipped cleanly on the same tag — the job logic was never the problem; the kill happens
# in the dispatch window before any step or `if:`-skip runs.
#
# Gitea evaluates a workflow's TRIGGER before creating any job, so a `pull_request`-only workflow
# produces ZERO jobs on a tag/main push: no dispatch, no kill, no spurious red. That is the whole
# fix. The per-job `if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'` guards are kept as belt-and-suspenders
# (they also encode "these steps need a PR base_ref"; harmless given the trigger).
#
# These stay on `runs-on: small` and carry NO CI toolchain image pin, so `ci-image-pin`'s grep of
# docker-build.yml still validates the five pin-bearing jobs (test/migrations/functional-e2e/
# api-docs/format) that remain there. None of these jobs are required checks — branch protection
# requires only `Build & test (.NET)`, `EF migration integrity` and `review-verdict/h10` — so
# relocating them (which changes their status-context prefix from "Build ErsatzTV Image / …" to
# "PR Gates / …") does not affect merges. See docs/ci-cd.md -> "PR gates workflow".

# git-only host-runner jobs: no `container:`, so the runner default shell would be bash anyway, but

# Only `review-verdict.yml` needs write; it declares that at the job and says why there. Full
# rationale and the per-workflow credential audit: docs/ci-cd.md -> "Workflow token scope".

# BLOCKING (ersatztv#390): the CI toolchain image pin in docker-build.yml must name the short sha of
# the last commit to touch the image's SOURCES (`docker/ci/**`). Read that as "the image ci-image.yml
# last published" only under the convention that every such commit is published — this job compares
# git shas and never queries the registry, so it cannot see a pin whose tag was never built or has
# been evicted. Existence is `toolchain-preflight`'s job, and the container jobs' pull is the backstop.
# Since ersatztv#744 publishing from a branch is a `workflow_dispatch`, so "was it published" is a
# human step this job does not observe.
#
# Without this detector, a PR that edits docker/ci/** ships a new image RECIPE while running its own
# jobs against the OLD pin: CI green-lights a toolchain it never executed, and once merged, main's
# Dockerfile silently disagrees with what CI runs. **Renovate actively generates exactly that PR** —
# it manages docker/ci/Dockerfile's base pins (dockerfile manager) but cannot bump an opaque
# `:<sha>` in `container.image`, so it would leave the pin behind every time.
#
# Failing here forces the documented two-step (docs/ci-cd.md -> "CI toolchain image"): get the
# Dockerfile change published as `:<sha>`, then update the pin to that sha. Since ersatztv#744 the
# publish half of that two-step is a `workflow_dispatch` on the branch rather than a side effect of
# the push — ci-image.yml's `push` trigger is now `branches: [main]`. Seconds-long git+grep -> keep
# it off the build runners.

# is not a model of every tag in the registry — it is the one tag a PR is REQUIRED to be
# pinned to: the last commit to change the image's sources.
#
# `.gitea/workflows/ci-image.yml` is deliberately NOT part of `expected` (ersatztv#744),
# and that is a DECIDED TRADEOFF, not a necessity. Keeping it is workable — dispatch the
# branch at the ci-image.yml commit, then pin it — but it prices every edit to that file,
# comments included, at a full ~2GB publish plus a five-pin bump, redone after every
# rebase. Dropping it prices the opposite risk: a change to HOW the image is built living
# ONLY in ci-image.yml (build-args, Dockerfile path, platforms) neither republishes nor
# invalidates the pin, so CI keeps running an image built by the previous recipe. The
# second was chosen because that file is edited far more often for triggers, comments and
# runner placement than for build recipe. Make a recipe change alongside a `docker/ci/**`
# edit — a comment bump suffices, and it is the ONLY remedy: pinning the workflow-only
# commit is rejected here, because `expected` is the last `docker/ci` commit.
# This pathspec and `ci-image.yml`'s `on.push.paths` MUST name the same sources; before
# #744 the shared self-reference kept them in step. Divergence is silent and green in the
# dangerous direction, so it is enforced rather than asserted:
# `scripts/tests/test_ci_image_paths_pin_agreement.py` derives BOTH lists from the two
# workflows and compares them for set equality (ersatztv#855). It takes this pathspec from
# the ASSIGNMENT below rather than from any `git log` in the job, and models only a plain
# `<dir>` against `<dir>/**` there — any other spelling is refused rather than compared.
# Change this pathspec and that guard goes red until `on.push.paths` follows.
# See docs/ci-cd.md -> "Publishing from a branch is a dispatch, not a push".

# The failure would otherwise surface far downstream as all five `container:` jobs
# dying at image-pull with `manifest unknown`, which reads like a registry outage.
# This is an easy mistake to make: the natural local command prints 8 chars.

# in-repo remedy in that state: relax this length check in the same PR and say why. Note
# that ci-image.yml still tags with a plain `--short` (auto-scaled), so "always 7" is an
# empirical property of today's shallow clone, not an enforced invariant. Making the
# publisher emit `--short=7` is tracked as ersatztv#597. That is no longer blocked by this
# job at all: since ersatztv#744, editing ci-image.yml does NOT re-point `expected`, so a

# exits 0 on every path (asserted per argument shape in scripts/tests/test_check_doc_narrative.py,
# not only in prose), so this step cannot redden the run even on a hit; if you find yourself
# wanting it to fail, read the decision record first — it says no in as many words.

#
# Both steps OF THIS CHECK (setup-python + the narrative step; the parity nudge above has its

# stated rather than implied: this covers the two steps that exist to run the check. A failed
# `Checkout` is NOT covered and deliberately so — with no tree there is nothing to check, and
# a job that cannot run is a different failure from an advisory one that ran and disagreed.

#
# WHY ITS OWN JOB rather than a step inside decisions-guard (which the issue proposed as the

# `decisions lifecycle` red is a known infra flake to be ignored — "do not investigate". Folding
# the suite into that job would make a genuine pytest regression present as exactly the red every
# session is told to wave through, which is the same silently-green failure mode #631 exists to
# close. A distinct job name keeps a real failure unambiguous.
#
# Runs UNCONDITIONALLY on every PR rather than behind a `scripts/**` path filter. The suite's
# corpus tests are fixture/tmp-repo based, but several execute REAL artifacts from other top-level
# directories: test_post_review_verdict.py runs `scripts/post-review-verdict.sh`,
# test_merge_consent_exemption.py runs `.claude/hooks/pretooluse-merge-consent.sh`, and since
# ersatztv#845 test_post_review_verdict.py ALSO reads `.gitea/workflows/review-verdict.yml` —
# the writer derives the H10 allow-list from it, so editing that literal changes the suite's
# outcome. Its true input set therefore spans at least three top-level directories, and this
# enumeration is the kind that goes stale: a `scripts/**` filter would silently miss a
# `.claude/hooks/**` or `.gitea/workflows/**` edit. The reason is the INPUT SET, not the cost —
# the suite was ~10s when that was decided and is minutes now, and filtering on `scripts/**`

# unattributable assertion failures the suite produces without git.

# ersatztv#780. Lint runs EARLY — after the git preflight it depends on, but before the test
# dependencies, the jq preflight and the ~4-minute pytest run. A style red therefore arrives in
# seconds, and, more importantly, the lint does not sit behind `Preflight jq version`: that is
# an `--expect` tripwire, so a runner jq bump would take the lint dark for as long as the jq
# contract is broken, under a red that says "jq".
#
# The version is PINNED: an unpinned ruff makes the verdict a function of whenever the job ran
# — the same environment-divergence the committed ruff.toml exists to close. Bumping it is a
# deliberate PR (new rules may fire), exactly like the jq pin below. `pytest`/`pyyaml` are
# deliberately NOT pinned: a pytest release does not add assertions to your suite, a ruff
# release adds rules to your lint.

# POPULATION. Both steps lint an EXPLICIT list from `git ls-files`, never `ruff check .`, and
# pass `--no-force-exclude`. Measured with ruff 0.12.11 and `exclude = ["scripts/**"]` — a
# per-FILE pattern, because `exclude` matches per file: a bare `["scripts"]` still works at the
# top level but matches nothing under `[lint]`/`[format]`. The subject is a planted tracked file
# holding an unused import, a hardcoded credential and a formatting error. GREEN means the gate
# was silently off:
#
# DISCOVERY FORM EXPLICIT FORM (what ships)
# exclude scope check . format --check . check format --check
# top-level GREEN GREEN red red
# [lint] GREEN red red red
# [format] red GREEN red red
# top + force-exclude GREEN GREEN red red <- with the flag
# GREEN GREEN <- without it
#
# Only the top-level scope empties BOTH discovery commands; `[lint]` empties `check` and
# `[format]` empties `format --check`, so in those two the job would still redden on the other
# step. `[format]` is where a line appended to ruff.toml lands, by TOML rules. `include = []`,
# `extend-exclude` and a nested `scripts/ruff.toml` behave the same way and are equally inert
# against the explicit form. The last row is the whole reason for `--no-force-exclude`:
# `force-exclude = true` re-applies excludes to explicitly-passed paths, and is the one setting
# that reaches explicitly-passed paths at all.
#
# `ruff check .` over an empty tree exits **0** with only a stderr warning, so every GREEN above
# is a gate that was switched off without a red.
#
# This also derives the population from source rather than from the filesystem
# (docs/decisions/records/testing/guard-derives-population-from-source.md) and covers
# tracked-but-gitignored files, which `ruff check .` skips. The empty-population arm is the
# anti-vacuity check: a completeness check whose population is empty reports that it proved
# everything. What it does NOT cover: an emptied RULE set. `select = []` silences every selected
# rule, so the `ruff check` step goes green over any lint violation (a syntax error still reds)
# while printing a reassuring file count.
# `ruff format --check` is unaffected, because formatting is not rule-selected. So half the
# gate is killable by a config edit, and only a human reading that edit catches it.

# pytest + PyYAML. PyYAML is NOT a contradiction of the dependency-free decisions READ path:
# `decisions_lib._read_frontmatter` is hand-written precisely so validation runs where nothing
# is installed, but the one-shot WRITE path `migrate_decisions_split.py` uses PyYAML by
# design — and `test_migration_equivalence.py` imports that module, so the suite needs it.
# `pytest` and `yaml` are the complete third-party set, established by an AST import scan over
# all of scripts/ rather than by reading the files that seemed relevant — reading only those
# yields "pure stdlib", a claim that passes locally on a machine that happens to have PyYAML
# and goes red in CI on a collection error.

# jq gets its OWN step because its VERSION, not merely its presence, is load-bearing
# (ersatztv#648). `--expect` makes this a TRIPWIRE over an accepted SET of versions: the
# set is exactly {1.6, 1.7} (ersatztv#935). Both `small` runners that took PR #933/#934 reported
# 1.7 (2026-10-28), but both map to the floating runner-images:ubuntu-latest image with no digest
# pin, so a host may hold an older pull and 1.6 stays in the set. Any other version goes red. No
# known runner reports 1.6 today, so real-jq 1.6 coverage of scripts/tests is currently absent.
# server-management#1080 proposes a fleet digest pin; when it settles one version, narrow this
# to that version.
#
# The pin lives HERE and deliberately NOT in review-verdict.yml: that workflow writes the
# branch-protection-required `review-verdict/h10` status, so pinning a version there would turn
# any jq bump on the runner into a repo-wide merge deadlock. It gets the floor-only mode.
# See docs/ci-cd.md -> "The jq contract".
