The previous soft-skip-on-dispatch path used `exit 0`, which only
ends the STEP — the rest of the workflow continued with empty
secrets. Caught 2026-05-04 by dispatched run 25296530706:
- E2E_MINIMAX_API_KEY: empty
- verify-secrets printed warning + exit 0
- Install required tools: ran
- Run synthetic E2E: ran with empty MiniMax key
- SECRETS_JSON branched to OpenAI shape (MINIMAX empty → fall through)
- But model slug stayed MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed (workflow env)
- Workspace booted with OpenAI keys + MiniMax model
- 5 min later: "Agent error (Exception)" — claude SDK 401'd
against api.minimax.io with the OpenAI key
The confusing failure mode silently masked the real problem (missing
secret) under a runtime-error label. Fix: drop both soft-skip paths
and exit 1 always. Operators who want to verify a YAML change without
setting up secrets can read the verify-secrets step's stderr — the
failure IS the verification signal.
Pure visibility fix; preserves the cron hard-fail path (now also the
dispatch hard-fail path). No mechanism change beyond the exit code.

# Hard gate (#2342): cron-driven full-lifecycle E2E that catches
|
||
# regressions visible only at runtime — schema drift, deployment-pipeline
|
||
# gaps, vendor outages, env-var rotations, DNS / CF / Railway side-effects.
|
||
#
|
||
# Why this gate exists:
|
||
# PR-time CI catches code-level regressions but not deployment-time or
|
||
# integration-time ones. Today's empirical data:
|
||
# • #2345 (A2A v0.2 silent drop) — passed all unit tests, broke at
|
||
# JSON-RPC parse layer between sender and receiver. Visible only
|
||
# to a sender exercising the full path.
|
||
# • RFC #2312 chat upload — landed on staging-branch but never
|
||
# reached staging tenants because publish-workspace-server-image
|
||
# was main-only. Caught by manual dogfooding hours after deploy.
|
||
# Both would have surfaced within 15-20 min of regression if a
|
||
# continuous synth-E2E was running.
|
||
#
|
||
# Cadence: every 20 min (3x/hour). The script is conservatively
|
||
# bounded at 10 min wall-clock; even on degraded staging it should
|
||
# finish before the next firing. cron-overlap is guarded by the
|
||
# concurrency group below.
|
||
#
|
||
# Cost: ~3 runs/hour × 5-10 min × $0.008/min GHA = ~$0.50-$1/day.
|
||
# Plus a fresh tenant provisioned + torn down each run (Railway +
|
||
# AWS pennies). Negligible.
|
||
#
|
||
# Failure handling: when the run fails, the workflow exits non-zero
|
||
# and GitHub's standard email/notification path fires. Operators
|
||
# can subscribe to this workflow's failure channel for paging-grade
|
||
# alerting.
|

||
on:
|
||
schedule:
|
||
# Every 20 minutes, on :10 :30 :50. Two constraints:
|
||
# 1. Stay off the top-of-hour. GitHub Actions scheduler drops
|
||
# :00 firings under high load (own docs:
|
||
# https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#schedule).
|
||
# Empirical 2026-05-03: cron was '0,20,40 * * * *' but actual
|
||
# firings landed at :08, :03, :01, :03 with :20 + :40 silently
|
||
# dropped — only the :00-region run survived. Detection
|
||
# latency degraded from claimed 20 min to actual ~60 min.
|
||
# :10/:30/:50 sit far enough from :00 that GH-load skips
|
||
# stop dropping us.
|
||
# 2. Avoid colliding with the existing :15 sweep-cf-orphans
|
||
# and :45 sweep-cf-tunnels — both hit the CF API and we
|
||
# don't want to fight for rate-limit tokens.
