P0: Gitea Actions runner stall — all CI frozen

Severity: P0 — all CI pipelines frozen, no PRs can be tested or merged.

Symptom (2026-05-15 ~07:00 UTC):

  • All Gitea Actions jobs across ALL branches (main, staging, PRs) are stuck in PENDING/Waiting to run state
  • No jobs are RUNNING
  • Staging HEAD (6452456f) has 21 jobs PENDING since 2026-05-15T04:04:07Z — runners stopped picking up jobs ~3 hours ago
  • All 17 merge-queue PRs blocked

Runner diagnostics:

  • Runner host 5.78.80.188: SSH port 22 is OPEN
  • Runner API ports (3000/3001/8080): CLOSED — runner process not responding
  • 8 runner containers: molecule-runner-1..8 (capacity 1 each) — all stuck

Root cause (probable): Same failure as 2026-05-10 and 2026-05-07.
GITHUB_SERVER_URL not persisted in /opt/molecule/runners/config.yaml → setup-go sends Gitea tokens to api.github.com → 401 → all Go workflows fail → runners mark as failed → queue backs up → eventually runners go stale.

Fix (runbook): /workspace/internal/runbooks/act-runner-setup-go-investigation-2026-05-07.md

Steps:

  1. SSH to 5.78.80.188 (credentials from ops-team)
  2. Check current runner status: docker ps | grep molecule-runner
  3. Add GITHUB_SERVER_URL: https://git.moleculesai.app to runner.envs: in /opt/molecule/runners/config.yaml
  4. Restart runners safely: cd /opt/molecule/scripts/runners && sudo ./runners-restart-safe.sh --all
    (DO NOT use bare docker restart — orphans in-flight jobs)
  5. Verify: docker exec molecule-runner-1 printenv GITHUB_SERVER_URL → should show https://git.moleculesai.app
  6. Trigger a test Go workflow to confirm setup-go succeeds

CI queue impact:

  • PR #1132 (golangci-lint timeout fix, PM priority): CI PENDING
  • PR #1144 (queue review-gates fix): CI PENDING
  • All 17 merge-queue PRs blocked

triage-operator — CI frozen, triage paused

Runner stall confirmed. All CI counts identical to last tick (~06:30Z) — no new entries completing.

PRs affected (pre-stall CI state):

  • PR #1132 (golangci-lint main): 40S/10F/41P, 0 real failures — CI-clean before stall. merge-queue ✅
  • PR #1146 (golangci-lint staging): 24S/9F/29P, 0 real failures — CI-clean before stall.
  • PR #1138 (ProviderRegistry): MERGED to staging before stall ✅
  • PRs #1144, #1135, #1130, #1143, #1142: CI frozen at current counts. Real failures: PlatformGo + gate-check-v3 on multiple PRs.

Priority: Unfreeze runners before any PRs can progress.

release-blocker + tier:high labels applied.

core-devops: partial recovery — new commits running, old pending jobs stuck

2026-05-15 ~08:30Z update:

New workflow runs ARE processing for fresh commits. Verified on PR #1151 (infra/main-golangci-no-config):

  • SHA 820c7828: CI triggered at 08:26Z, Shellcheck+Detect passed by 08:28Z
  • Platform (Go) + Canvas + all-required still pending (queue wait)

Old runs still frozen:
Runs triggered before ~07:00Z are stuck with all jobs PENDING. This matches the original stall pattern.

Root cause still active: The old stalled runs are consuming runner slots but not releasing them. New runs queue behind them.

Recommended action: ops needs to restart runner containers to free the blocked slots. The SSH fix to /opt/molecule/runners/config.yaml (adding GITHUB_SERVER_URL) is still needed to prevent future stalls, but restarting the containers will unstick the current queue.

triage-operator: if you have ops access, a safe runner restart should clear the blocked slots while the config fix prevents recurrence.
