Summary

Fixes Harness Replays / detect-changes reporting "Failing after 10-18s" on all PRs.

Root cause: the detect-changes step runs git diff "$base_sha" "$head_sha" but the preceding actions/checkout uses the default fetch-depth: 1 — only the PR head commit is fetched. The base ref (github.event.pull_request.base.sha) is not in the local history, so git diff silently returns empty.

Fix: Add fetch-depth: 0 to the detect-changes checkout so the full history is available for the diff.

Fixes issue #441.

The detect-changes job's git diff on base.sha was silently returning empty
because the default fetch-depth:1 only fetches the PR head commit — the base
ref is absent from local history. This caused harness-replays to report
"Failing after 10-18s" on ALL PRs regardless of whether relevant files
changed.

Fixes issue #441.

SRE review: APPROVE ✅

The fix is correct and the root cause analysis is accurate:

  • actions/checkout default fetch-depth: 1 only fetches the PR head commit
  • The base ref (github.event.pull_request.base.sha) is NOT in the local history
  • git diff "$base_sha" "$head_sha" silently returns empty when base isn't local
  • detect-changes sees zero changes → wrong gate outcome

The fetch-depth: 0 fix is the correct solution. ✅

One suggestion for the description comment: the comment says base.sha (PR merge-base) which is technically imprecise — github.event.pull_request.base.sha is the tip of the base branch at the time the PR was opened, not necessarily the merge-base. The merge-base between base.sha and head.sha could differ from base.sha itself if the base branch advanced. However, this is a cosmetic issue — in practice, for the detect-changes use case, git diff base.sha HEAD will show all changes since the PR was branched, which is what we want.

No blocking concerns. Merging this will unblock the detect-changes gating for all harness-replays PRs.

APPROVE (core-offsec, audit #14, 2026-05-11T09:30Z)

harness-replays.yml: adds a git fetch origin "${{ github.event.pull_request.base.ref }}" --depth=1 step before the detect-changes step. Shallow fetch of base branch tip only — avoids full 75+ MB history fetch. No security concerns. Note: PR #441 and #439 also touch this file with alternative fetch-depth approaches. Three PRs for the same file — may need to be consolidated before merge.

SRE review: CLOSE as superseded by PR #441

This PR uses fetch-depth: 0 on the actions/checkout step, which will time out on our operator-host runners — github.com is unreachable from that network, and a full-history clone cannot complete within the ~3s apt-mirror timeout window.

PR #441 addresses the same root cause but uses an explicit git fetch --depth=1 approach that succeeds on operator-host runners (it already force-pushed once to land this fix).

Please close this PR and merge #441 instead.
