📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds a scheduled observer for selected post-merge workflows. The observer filters eligible runs, records failed jobs and steps, and maintains one issue per workflow. Workflow validation, configuration checks, self-tests, and documentation are included. ChangesGate failure observer
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The observer can reopen incidents after recovery, report failures from obsolete rerun attempts, create duplicate issues, and calculate incorrect release-tag deltas. These behaviors should be corrected before enabling issue synchronization. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In @.github/workflows/gate-failure-watch.yml:
- Line 36: Update the concurrency group expression in the workflow to use
github.event.workflow_run.workflow_id for workflow_run events, while retaining
github.run_id for pull-request validation runs. Keep the group workflow-specific
so concurrent failures of the same workflow serialize through
sync_failure_issue().
In `@scripts/gate_failure_watch.py`:
- Line 142: Update the failure-handling flow around the created_at history
filter to detect a newer eligible successful run and skip the stale failure
before opening or reopening the issue. Preserve existing handling when no newer
green run exists, and add the run-A-fails-after-run-B-succeeds ordering case to
self_test().
- Line 117: Update the get_jobs() request to retrieve only jobs from the latest
workflow attempt by using the supported latest filter or an attempt-specific
jobs endpoint, so failure_rows() excludes jobs from earlier attempts. Add a
self-test covering a failed earlier attempt followed by a successful rerun.
- Line 128: Update handle_event and its history queries so failure comparison
uses all runs accepted by eligible_run, including release-tag pushes, rather
than filtering Actions results to main. Maintain a separate main-only
previous_runs query for determining the last-green result, and preserve the
existing delta calculation and status handling.

GitHub Actions concurrency workflow_run event payload workflow_id workflow_run.id concurrency group expression
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the workflow_run event allows you to trigger a workflow based on the activity (requested, in_progress, or completed) of another workflow [1][2]. The event payload includes a workflow_run object, which contains details about the triggering workflow, including its unique ID (workflow_run.id) and the ID of the workflow definition itself (workflow_id) [3][4]. When configuring concurrency for a workflow triggered by the workflow_run event, you can define a concurrency group using expressions [5][6]. A key limitation to keep in mind is that the concurrency expression at the workflow level can only use the github, inputs, and vars contexts [6][7][8]. Because the workflow_run event payload is exposed through the github.event context, you can access the trigger information within your concurrency expression [6][7]. For example, to create a concurrency group based on the ID of the workflow run that triggered your current workflow, you could use the following expression: concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.workflow_run.id }} cancel-in-progress: true In this example, github.event.workflow_run.id dynamically retrieves the unique ID of the triggering workflow run, ensuring that your concurrency group is unique to that specific execution chain [6][7]. Since the concurrency expression is limited to the allowed contexts, you cannot access other, more complex event metadata that is not part of the standard github context [6][7].

Use a workflow-specific concurrency group. workflow_run.id differs for each triggering run, so concurrent red runs can both find no issue and create duplicates through sync_failure_issue(). Key the group on github.event.workflow_run.workflow_id and retain github.run_id for pull-request validation runs.

site:docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/workflow-jobs filter latest all jobs old executions workflow run
💡 Result:
When using the GitHub REST API to list jobs for a workflow run, the filter parameter allows you to control which execution data is returned [1]. Specifically, this parameter accepts two values: latest and all [1]. Using filter=latest (which is the default) returns jobs only from the most recent execution of the specified workflow run [1]. Conversely, using filter=all returns all jobs for a workflow run, including those from older executions [1]. You must provide the required owner, repo, and run_id parameters to use this endpoint [1].

GitHub REST API list jobs for a workflow run filter latest all old executions official documentation
💡 Result:
To list jobs for a workflow run using the GitHub REST API, you use the following endpoint [1][2]: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/jobs The API provides a filter query parameter to control whether you see only the latest job executions or all executions (including old ones, which occurs when a workflow run is re-run) [2][3]. Parameters: filter: This optional string parameter filters jobs by their completed_at timestamp [1][2]. - latest (default): Returns only jobs from the most recent execution of the workflow run [1][3]. - all: Returns all jobs for the workflow run, including those from old, previous executions [1][3]. Example usage with curl: curl -L -X GET -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/actions/runs/RUN_ID/jobs?filter=all [1] If you need to target a specific re-run attempt, you can alternatively use the endpoint for listing jobs for a specific workflow run attempt [2]: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/attempts/{attempt_number}/jobs

Read only the latest workflow attempt.
get_jobs() passes filter=all, so failure_rows() includes jobs from older attempts of the same run. A failed earlier attempt can therefore remain in the current failure report after a successful rerun. Use filter=latest or the attempt-specific jobs endpoint. Add a self-test for this case.

Include eligible tag-triggered runs in failure history. eligible_run accepts release-tag pushes, but handle_event passes main to the Actions branch filter. previous_runs therefore cannot find the preceding tag failure and computes an incorrect delta. Use all eligible runs for failure comparison, and use a separate main-only history for the last-green result.

Reject a failure superseded by a newer green run.
Line 142 removes newer runs from the history. If run A starts first, run B starts later and succeeds, and A then fails, this handler opens or reopens the issue even though main is already green. Before updating the issue, detect a newer eligible successful run and skip the stale failure. Add this ordering case to self_test().

A scheduled gate can fail correctly for weeks without creating work for anyone. This adds a default-branch
workflow_runobserver that opens or updates one issue per watched workflow with the run URL, head SHA, failing job/step rows, the delta from the preceding failure, and the last green main SHA. A later green run comments and closes the issue, while a recurring failure reopens the same issue.The observer covers all 12 workflows tracked by the gate-freshness policy (with the existing npm-publish-freshness issue manager explicitly excluded). Its configuration check keeps the watched workflow names and freshness inventory in sync. Because
workflow_runreceives a write-capable token, the observer always checks out and executes the trustedmaincopy; pull requests run only its offline checks with read-only permissions.Validation:
