[draft] fix(ci): fail closed on unexpected job skips - #4996
Conversation

@coderabbitai full_review, thanks! |
Summary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughCore and REST CI workflows now classify supported event modes and expose their decisions. ChangesCI result gate enforcement
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR makes the CI aggregate fail closed when required jobs are unexpectedly skipped. It remains mergeable with owner awareness that the REST workflow's detection job should use explicit read-only token permissions to avoid broader-than-needed access.

The final Core and REST gates could tell when a job failed, but treated every skipped result as healthy. NVIDIA#4324 showed why that is a problem: an applicable validation can disappear behind a green required check. Keep the job requirements in one typed and commented Python policy module, expand the normal requirements across each gate's live needs list, and compare every result with the changes or prepare decisions the workflow already recorded. Expected skips still pass; an unexpected skip or run, missing context, failure, or cancellation turns the lane red. This adds no jobs or API lookup, keeps the stable required check names, and relies on the workflows' existing path and publication decisions instead of reimplementing them in the aggregate. This supports NVIDIA#4586. Tests updated! Signed-off-by: Chet Nichols III <chetn@nvidia.com>

Issue #4324 exposed a gap between deciding that a CI job should run and proving that it actually ran. The workflow already selected
lint-police, but the finalcore-ci-passcheck accepted itsskippedresult as healthy. The source-selection half of that bug is already fixed; this PR closes the aggregate half for both Core and REST.The policy now lives in one typed and commented Python module,
.github/ci/ci_gate_policy.py. Its dataclasses are the schema, andcheck_ci_gate.pyimports the policy directly, so there is no JSON format, mini-language, or hand-written deserializer to understand or keep in sync.The workflow still owns the two facts it is best placed to own: the final gate's live
needslist is the complete job inventory, and each job's top-levelifexpression selects the work. The policy module only describes the usual requirement, the grouped jobs whose requirements differ, and the two reviewed administrative exemptions. The checker then compares every result with the existingchangesandpreparedecisions that selected that work.An expected skip still passes. An applicable job that skipped, an inapplicable job that ran, a failure, cancellation, missing or malformed result, unsupported run context, or missing decision makes the stable aggregate check fail. The tests independently inspect the live workflow selectors, so a policy edit cannot quietly drift away from the YAML.
This does not add CI jobs, query GitHub's Jobs API, introduce another path classifier, or change publication or artifact behavior.
