From 5cd3ad07f5e80e4dd66068370a63a0bb35c72fc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Molecule AI Infra-SRE Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 21:46:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): all-required sentinel assertion skips Phase-3 null results MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Phase 3 (RFC #219 §1): underlying build jobs use continue-on-error: true to surface defects without blocking PRs. When a Phase-3 job fails, its `needs.*.result` is null (not "failure"). The original assertion `v.get("result") != "success"` treated null as bad, hard-failing the sentinel on Phase-3 noise. Fix (assertion only — continue-on-error: true NOT added to sentinel): - Assertion updated: `v.get("result") not in ("success", None)` — null results from Phase-3 continue-on-error: true failures are skipped. - Null means the job used continue-on-error: true and failed. This is expected Phase-3 behavior — skip rather than fail. - failure / skipped / cancelled still fail the sentinel (correct — real problems that need human review). NOTE: continue-on-error: true is intentionally NOT added to the all-required job itself. With the assertion fix, null results are already skipped so Phase-3 jobs don't hard-fail the sentinel.
