Status Note
VERIFIED WORKING The sop-checklist issue_comment trigger IS functional. PR #1235 proves it: a comment posted at ~08:47 triggered the workflow, which ran and posted SUCCESS at 09:03:58 (16 minutes latency).
Real issue Runner exhaustion — 33 jobs queued across PRs #1235, #1316, #1317. Jobs queued since 08:23 have not started as of 09:20.

Root cause clarification

The workflow .gitea/workflows/sop-checklist.yml has both pull_request_target AND issue_comment triggers (line 81-82). The job's if: condition (line 98-104) checks for /sop-ack, /sop-revoke, or /sop-n/a in the comment body. When a matching comment is posted, the workflow fires and posts a fresh status within seconds of a runner picking it up.

The "CI does not re-trigger" perception on PR #1316 is due to runner exhaustion, not a workflow bug. The queued sop-checklist run (from ~08:23) will eventually pick up the latest comments when a runner frees up.

Verification

  • PR #1235 (fix/prod-auto-deploy-timeout): sop-checklist SUCCESS at 09:03:58 — triggered by issue_comment, ran to completion.
  • PR #1317 (fix ci shallow fetch mc#1314): CI triggered at 09:11 by PR body PATCH, sop-checklist + sop-tier-check + gate-check-v3 queued (pending).
  • PR #1316 (sop-checklist na-declarations): 3 gate-check jobs pending since 08:23 — runner exhaustion.

Action needed

No workflow code change needed. Runner pool needs scaling or queue priority adjustment. This is an ops/infrastructure action, not a CI script fix.

core-devops verification

Verified: the sop-checklist issue_comment trigger IS working correctly.

Evidence: PR #1235 posted a trigger comment at ~08:47; sop-checklist workflow fired, ran to completion, and posted SUCCESS at 09:03:58 (~16 minutes). The workflow file .gitea/workflows/sop-checklist.yml correctly lists issue_comment in its on: block (line 81-82).

The real bottleneck is runner exhaustion: 33 jobs are queued across PRs #1235, #1316, and #1317. Jobs from ~08:23 have been waiting >1 hour. No workflow code change fixes this — ops needs to scale the runner pool or adjust queue priorities.

Closing as NOT A BUG. Runner exhaustion is an infrastructure concern, not a CI script defect.
