Why

A merge that lands just after another group's heal can leave prod running an older main until some later deploy happens (#2838). The post-merge convergence check already sees this as BEHIND, but only warns.

What

When the check reads BEHIND, it now starts the normal CD deploy of main, with all of its production gates. CONVERGED, DIVERGED (a queued group that deployed but has not merged yet) and a failed check never deploy. The check also waits for any deploy already in progress before reading, so it cannot read prod before a heal finishes.

Operational note: each push to main now briefly takes the production deploy lock (about a minute) while it reads.

Fixes #3869

Expose the convergence verdict as a job output and dispatch the gated CD
workflow on main when it reads BEHIND. The observer now waits on the
prod-deploy lock so it cannot read :latest before an in-flight heal
publishes. DIVERGED and UNKNOWN never deploy.

Fixes #3869

Learning: For GitHub Actions concurrency configuration in this repo, don’t use `queue: single` on a shared production concurrency group (e.g., `prod-deploy`) that is used for normal production deployments—`queue: single` will cancel/replace any pending run in that group. Normal production deployments must use a uniform `queue: max` for that shared group to ensure serialization without coalescing. If you need DR rebuild coalescing (replacement of pending DR rebuild runs), it must use a separate DR-only concurrency scope/group (not the shared production `prod-deploy` group).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The report script now exposes successful convergence verdicts through GITHUB_OUTPUT. The workflow serializes the observer with the prod-deploy lock and runs the redeploy helper only for BEHIND. The helper prevents duplicate pending deployments, dispatches cd.yaml, and confirms the new run. Tests cover verdict output, locking, redeployment, and failure cases.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 29046

The conditional redeploy path matches the existing CD dispatch contract and preserves the pending-deployment guard. No actionable merge-blocking issue remains.

update the observe-prod-convergence/redeploy-prod-when-behind flow to record or

queued observers skip dispatch when one is pending. Add a burst-push test that

Comment thread .github/workflows/validate-main.yaml Resolved
Dispatch CD from inside the lock-holding observer instead of a separate
job. Skip when a CD run for main's tip is already pending, and wait until
a new dispatch is listed before releasing the lock, so a burst of pushes
cannot stack redundant deploys.

Readiness record: head 2904689637a50ad52d4dd68850c14c7a92c8d7c3

  • Tested: CI run 35200754692 at this head is green. It shellchecks and runs test-redeploy-main-when-behind.sh and the updated convergence-report tests, and every case reads ok: only BEHIND redeploys, the redeploy is the locked job's last step, and a failed report writes no verdict.
  • Reviewed: CodeRabbit full review at this head (requested 10:22Z, completed 10:31Z) reports no actionable comments; 0 unresolved threads. Its generic docstring-coverage warning is not a review finding.
  • Evaluated: the behaviour only runs on a push to main, so it cannot be exercised from a PR. Static evaluation instead: every prod-deploy user (cd.yaml, the ci.yaml heal/deploy jobs, dr-rebuild, the probes, and this job) uses the same cancel-in-progress: false + queue: max, so the dispatched CD run queues behind the observer rather than racing it. gh workflow run with GITHUB_TOKEN is a workflow_dispatch, which GitHub allows to start a run. The skip rule only counts an unfinished CD run for main's exact tip. The post-merge check is to watch the next main push: CONVERGED must dispatch nothing.
