Pushes to main now run every lane except macos, so a merged commit no
longer queues the macOS native build, the darwin test slices and the
macOS LLVM artifact jobs. The nightly sweep and manual runs still run
every lane. Pull requests keep running the macOS lane when
scripts/ci-lanes.mjs selects it.
- The iOS runtime pack builds move from mobile_runtime_packs (linux lane)
to mobile_runtime_packs_ios (macos lane), since they run on macOS
runners. The Android pack stays in the linux lane.
- The macos_full dispatch input is replaced by macos_suite (full or
darwin, default full). Manual runs run the complete macOS suite unless
macos_suite is darwin.
- ci-lanes.mjs also selects the macos lane for paths naming kqueue, the
runtime's platform header, and every file of the darwin suite in
scripts/ci-test-plan.mjs (adding tests/harness/differential.test.ts
and the darwin runtime pack's archive test).
- The required test check counts a skipped macOS job as passing when the
macos lane is off, as it already did for pull requests.
The Linux test jobs set ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 for both flavors and
left leak detection to the RC audit, which does not see runtime tables
allocated with calloc. A worker thread's record-source table leaked that
way, and only local runs reported it. The san shards' case-sharded corpus
task now sets detect_leaks=1 and an LSAN_OPTIONS suppressions file,
tests/harness/lsan.supp, which starts empty. Plain shards, the side queue,
the Effect jobs and macOS, whose ASan has no LeakSanitizer, keep leak
detection off.
The macOS lane of pull requests and pushes to main runs the darwin suite in
three slices. Each slice runs differential.test.ts over a third of the
corpus while the darwin contracts run beside it. vitest runs one file's
cases in sequence, so a slice's corpus time is the sum of its case times:
in three green main runs, 587-891 s (plain) and 800-1,731 s (sanitized),
on 3-core runners whose contracts task ends after 46-180 s.
ciTestPlan now runs slice i of n as case shards 2i-1 and 2i of 2n in two
vitest processes: the first beside the side queue, the second in the side
queue after the darwin contracts. The halves of all slices are the case
shards of 2n slices, so every program still runs once.
The comment above darwinFiles now says which macOS suite each CI event
runs: pull requests and pushes to main run the darwin suite, and the
nightly schedule and manual runs with macos_full run the full suite.
npm-static.test.ts ran whole on one shard as an isolated suite: 406 s plain and
519 s sanitized in the cost table, and 672 s on san 2/20 in run 38835202089,
the second-longest job of that run.
skipUnownedTest (tests/harness/shard.ts), called from the suite's beforeEach,
balances the suite's tests across the shards of SCRIPTC_TEST_SHARD by their
measured milliseconds (tests/harness/npm-static-costs.json; an unmeasured test
weighs as much as the median) and skips the tests this shard does not own.
Repeated test.each titles get an occurrence suffix as their key. Without a
shard spec every test runs.
The CI plan runs the suite on every shard in its own vitest process
(caseShardedSideFiles) instead of on one owner. At 20 shards the largest
shares are 113 and 106 s plain and 181 and 137 s sanitized (the two published
Effect generator tests), and about 10 s elsewhere, plus about 11 s per shard to
collect the file. scripts/ci-test-costs.mjs also refreshes the per-test table
and drops side-queue files that no longer run whole.
Since pushes to main run to completion, each ran the complete suite on macOS:
20 test jobs and about 350 macOS job-minutes per push (run 38831529977), which
at about four pushes an hour exceeded the repository's macOS runners. On
2026-10-16 at 02:40 UTC 41 macOS jobs were running, 95 were queued (the oldest
for 35 minutes), and main runs took over an hour.
Pushes to main now run the darwin suite on macOS, as pull requests do: 6 jobs
and about 100 minutes (run 38835202089). The nightly schedule still runs the
complete suite, and a manual run (workflow_dispatch) with macos_full set runs
it on demand, for example on a release candidate commit. Manual runs get a
concurrency group of their own, so they neither cancel nor wait for the push
run of the same commit. The policy test evaluates the macOS matrix expressions
for each event.
