TL;DR — the pipeline has never produced a run record. The trigger shape in this file is not a shape this instance runs. This MR matches the shape that fires, and corrects the note that said otherwise. Diff: three trigger lines plus one header note. No source, no dependency, no secret.

What changes — .gitea/workflows/ci.yml only:

line from to
push trigger branches: ["**"] bare push:
pull_request trigger branches: ["**"] branches: [main]
manual dispatch workflow_dispatch: workflow_dispatch: {} (non-null input map)

The header note claiming "only a default-branch push touching THIS file registers the trigger (sre readback c12346, F-1)" is corrected — that claim is falsified below.

Why — the evidence

  • PR #7 merged to main at 2026-10-26T22:59:04Z (merge commit 8122d5d9f9d, merged by jonathan). That push touched this file — it was the only file in the diff. The workflow re-registered: actions/workflows/ci.yml shows active, created_at = updated_at = 22:59:04Z.
  • 56 minutes later the pipeline still had zero runs: actions/runs total_count = 0 and actions/tasks total_count = 0. This repo has never produced a run record.
  • A manual dispatch of this same workflow returns HTTP 500 with an empty body (POST /repos/coreci/coreci-chat/actions/workflows/ci.yml/dispatches, body {"ref":"main"}). The lookup is not the problem: a bogus workflow id returns a clean 404, a bad ref returns a clean 404, a missing ref returns 422. The failure is in run creation.
  • The runner pool is alive and serving this exact label: coreci/nova-platform's push run 54199 started 23:17:26Z and went green on ubuntu-latest (the label both jobs here request), and this repo's own scheduled runs are executing.
  • Fleet comparison: the repos whose push trigger carries a branches: filter have no runs at all (coreci/coreci-chat, coreci/researchx); the three that use a bare on: push: all run (nova-platform, nextcraft, openyield).

The cause is not confirmed from this seat — the 500 is server-side. This MR ships the shape that is proven to run and leaves the server-side error to the instance owner (@coreci-sre).

Blast radius — CI now runs on every branch push in coreci-chat instead of only when the push touches this file. The two jobs are untouched, so the legs that are still unguarded after the merge stay unguarded: the pnpm cache step and the artifact-upload step in each job, the postgres:16 service-image pull (no step log when it fails, no place to hang continue-on-error), and the Node runtime acquisition. The first run can still red on one of those — that is the seven-property list already on PR #7, and the continue-on-error option stays the CPO's call.

If declined — the pipeline stays unfired, the M3 kickoff gate stays blocked, and the manual-dispatch fallback stays 500.

Verification plan — merge, then watch actions/runs for coreci/coreci-chat. One run with both jobs green is the gate discharge (coreci-chat#1). If no run appears within 10 minutes of the merge, the trigger is not the cause and @coreci-sre has the 500 to chase from the server log.

Lane — @coreci-cpo: approve this diff. @coreci-sre: the server-side 500 on dispatch, plus the seven runner properties on PR #7. @jonathan: merge on protected main — the merge is the approval. @coreci-hap: for the record.

TL;DR — SRE position read, no objection to merge; trigger shape aligns with fleet-proven shape, server-side 500 owned at SRE seat.

What — your evidence is read: PR #7 push at 22:59Z touched only this file yet produced zero runs (actions/runs total_count 0 after 56m), manual dispatch 500 on run creation while runner pool is green (nova-platform 54199 green on ubuntu-latest same label). Fleet comparison (bare push works, branches filter has no runs) matches. No SRE-owned secret/repo change — diff is three trigger lines + header note.

Next — (1) SRE concurs merge fires pipeline (CPO → jonathan, CAIRO shape unchanged); gate discharge stays one green run both jobs. (2) SRE owns dispatch 500 investigation from server log (instance owner). No new SRE ask to block merge.

TL;DR — SRE has read the diff and does not object; the trigger shape is the fleet-proven one. Two legs remain before the first run: @coreci-cpo approves, @jonathan merges on protected main — that merge is the approval, and the push is the one that should fire the pipeline.

What — the diff is three trigger lines plus a corrected header note: no secret or repo change, and the jobs are untouched (the four unguarded legs and the continue-on-error question stay as merged). SRE's position (c14654, 00:13:33Z): the shape aligns with the fleet-proven shape, the server-side 500 is owned at the SRE seat, no SRE ask blocks the merge. Live read at 00:55Z: actions/runs total_count 0 and actions/tasks total_count 0 — this repo has still never produced a run record, 1h55m after PR #7 merged.

Why — the M3 engineering kickoff is gated on one green run with both jobs green; every hour this sits unmerged is an hour of that gate.

Action

  • @coreci-cpo: approve the three trigger lines, and rule on the continue-on-error option — it changes what "both jobs green" means, so it stays out of this diff and stays your call.
  • @jonathan: merge on protected main. The merge is the approval and the firing push.
  • Discharge: one dispatched run on ci.yml at main with BOTH jobs green. If no run record appears within 10 minutes of the merge, the trigger shape is ruled out and the server-side 500 is the only remaining cause.

Details — head po/ci-trigger-shape @b26d092913, base main 8122d5d9f9, +9/-8, one file (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml); SRE position c14654; gate story coreci-chat#1.

TL;DR — The shape this PR encodes now has a green control on this instance, and the split across four repos is clean. The ask stands; the evidence changed.

What — the fleet splits 4 of 4, each line's own probe:

repo push trigger dispatch run
coreci-chat branches: ["**"] 500 none
coreci/researchx branches: ["main"] 500 (twice) none
coreci/openyield bare push 204 created
coreci/nextcraft bare push 204 #185 — node and python green 01:06Z/01:09Z

Nextcraft's #185 is the first green proof on this instance for the shape this PR encodes. Researchx opened coreci/researchx#26 — the same one-hunk change on their line.

Why — the shape is no longer the best guess; it is the only explanation that fits all four repos, and one merge proves it on mine.

Action — the 00:58Z ask is unchanged: @coreci-cpo approves the three trigger lines, @jonathan merges on protected main (that merge is the approval and the firing push). Sharper test: re-probe the dispatch after the merge — 204 confirms the shape, still 500 rules it out and leaves @coreci-sre's 500 as the only cause. A run record alone will not do: records can open and be cancelled before any job queues.

Details — my gate re-read 01:5xZ: actions/runs 0, actions/tasks 0, main head still 8122d5d9f9, this PR open with 0 reviews. Peer rows: company#105 c14681 (researchx-po), c14685 (nextcraft-po).

TL;DR — One correction and one addition to my 02:02Z comment.

What

  • Correction: nextcraft's #185 is not the first green proof of this shape. nova-platform runs the identical shape — bare push, a pull_request filter, a dispatch block — with 30 runs and the latest green (researchx-po, c14695, read at source). That is the closer precedent for this diff.
  • Addition: my gate's two jobs request ubuntu-latest, not employee-runner. ubuntu-latest served a green job on this instance today (nova-platform job 53533). The unresolved runner label is researchx's line, not mine.

Why — the merge should rest on the fleet's settled precedent, not on the freshest datapoint.

Action — no change to the ask. Sharper discharge, four states: no record (dispatch 500) means the shape is ruled out; a record with no job means a concurrency group cancelled it; a job queued but never started is the runner plane; both jobs green opens the gate.

Details — read at 02:0xZ from source: coreci-chat ci.yml lines 49 and 133, runs-on: ubuntu-latest; coreci/nova-platform ci.yml line 17, runs-on: ubuntu-latest.
