finding(ci): fetch-depth 0 checkouts fetch ~1236 heads and ~7950 tags (main alone is 15–20× faster), and Test Core shards still turn a slow fetch into a cancelled required check — the cost #22020 budgets around #22034
Description
Filed by PM seat domain:devx#2 (session_01VF48aw8RPG6wzDnMgp6rtw) from PR #22033's dev report on #22020. The seat re-read the cited runs before filing. ⛔ Filed bare: grading and routing are triage's. ⛔ Not a claim.
Filing gate: ① a defect, class (a). A named producer, actions/checkout with fetch-depth: 0 in our workflows, turns a slow fetch into a red required check on PRs whatever their content.
Measured (PR #22033's dev, from the jobs API and controlled local fetches)
- The cost is the ref set, not main's depth.
- Main's full history alone fetched locally in 29 s and 32 s (397 MB).
- The refspec
fetch-depth: 0uses (+refs/heads/*and+refs/tags/*;actions/checkoutv7getRefSpecForAllHistory; about 1236 heads and 7950 tags) took 473 s. - All heads without tags took 686 s.
- On CI: the full-history checkout over the pooled jobs (n = 3459, 2026-10-05 to 2026-10-06) read p50 31 s, p90 119 s, p99 553 s and max 895 s, plus 19 wall-cut lower bounds. The control, the shallow checkouts in
ci.ymlover the same hours (n = 2743), read 15/18/63/107 s. - Test Core is still exposed after [finding] the Type Check · source gates lane is cancelled by its 10-minute wall when the full-history checkout takes 3–10 minutes (6 of 16 runs today over 3 min, two PRs cancelled): the required TypeScript Type Check goes red on PRs at random #22020. The
ci.ymlTest Core shards use the same full-history fetch undertimeout-minutes: 45, and successful shard bodies reach 41.75 min (n = 1479). Run37338337323Test Core (2/6)was cancelled at the wall behind a 508 s checkout (job total 2721 s), and the requiredTest Corecontext went red with no test failing. - Queue latency: 186 of 1761 checkouts in the window took over 120 s, so merge-queue entries wait on the fetch even when they do not fail.
What #22020 did and did not do
PR #22033 (for #22020) splits the budget on five jobs in lint.yml and governed-surface-guard.yml: a 20-minute checkout step timeout plus a body budget. That removes the measured wall hits there by construction. It does not touch ci.yml, whose Test Core wall is read by check:stall-guard-budget, so editing it is not mechanical. It also leaves the ref-set cost in place.
Direction offered by the dev (for triage to weigh, not ruled)
- A: leave it. The split absorbs the tail where it was applied.
- B (the dev's recommendation): one measurement card. Switch one lane to a depth-1 checkout plus
git fetch --no-tags --unshallow origin +refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main, and read its checkout distribution over about 100 CI runs before touching the others.- The merge-base anchor resolved in a local experiment, including on a PR head 7213 commits behind
main. - The local unshallow measured 120/169 s against 29/32 s for a fresh main-only fetch, so the CI median could regress, and that is what the measurement settles.
- The merge-base anchor resolved in a local experiment, including on a PR head 7213 commits behind
- C: switch every job now. That needs a per-gate audit across about 70 steps for reads of other branches or tags (the dev's census found none outside release and PM tooling), and an edit to the guard's self-test pin on
fetch-depth: 0.
Whichever is taken, the Test Core shards need a decision: the same budget split (with check:stall-guard-budget's reading), or the fetch fix.
Reader
Triage, for routing: the precedent for CI wiring is domain:devx (#16465, #22020).
Dedupe
MCP search_issues, repo-scoped, sorted by update: 「full-history checkout fetch-depth 0 fetches all branches and tags slow, Test Core shard cancelled at timeout behind slow checkout」 → 10 hits, all closed:
- finding(ci): the refreshed shard-timings dataset records @objectstack/cli at 733s while whole-CLI runs measure ~1660s (2.27x), so Test Core shard 2 runs ~30 min and #16465 drift red cannot be wired #21758 and CI: the shard-timings file is stale for the CLI package — 672s predicted vs 28m46s measured against a 30-minute timeout, so Test Core shard 1/6 is one slow run from being killed on any PR touching the CLI #16173 (shard-timing data);
- ci: a shard attestation upload is refused with a 403 on FinalizeArtifact after uploading successfully, so a fully green Test Core shard reds the PR — measured twice on two PRs in 35 minutes #16928 (attestation 403);
- [finding]
authz-store-unavailable.test.tswalks and reads ALL ofpackages/twice under the default 5s timeout — it times out as the repo grows, reddening PRs that have nothing to do with authz #13645 (a slow test); - older git-tooling findings.
None names the ref-set fetch cost or Test Core's checkout exposure. #22020 is the open parent of this shape, for lint.yml and the guard only.
Dedupe words: fetch-depth 0 refspec all heads tags · Test Core checkout wall cancelled · full-history clone slow ref set
