Makes
gitea-merge-queue.pyandstatus-reaper.pyread from the conductor snapshot (when present + fresh) instead of re-fetching state independently. Removes the same-tick disagreement window.What changed:
load_conductor_snapshot()helper to both scripts (10-min freshness threshold).merge-queue:list_candidate_issues()andget_combined_status()consume snapshot data; fall back to API when absent/stale/SHA not found.reaper:get_combined_status()consumes snapshot for PR-head SHAs; falls back to API for branch commits.Test plan:
python3 -m pytest .gitea/scripts/tests/test_gitea_merge_queue.py— 76 passedpython3 -m pytest .gitea/scripts/tests/test_status_reaper_api.py— 6 passedSecurity+correctness 5-axis — APPROVE (head
ef9d683485). Consumes the conductor snapshot in gitea-merge-queue.py + status-reaper.py —get_combined_status(sha)now returns snapshot data when the SHA is an open-PR head + the snapshot is fresh, else self-fetches live (avoids N per-PR API re-reads; both scripts observe the same state)._snapshot_status_for_shaonly matches an open-PR head_sha) → never uses status from a different commit; freshness ≤10min (2× the */5 conductor cadence) else self-fetch; absent/unreadable/non-dict → self-fetch. Gate semantics preserved (the required-context success check is unchanged; tests confirm the snapshot path surfacesfailuretoo, so it still BLOCKS on red/pending).pass # treat as freshand empty-ts (if ts_str:false) → skip freshness both USE a snapshot of UNBOUNDED age. For a merge gate the fail-safe is the opposite — treat unknown-age as STALE → self-fetch live. Recommend flipping both to self-fetch. (Edge-case: conductor writes well-formed ts, so low-likelihood — hence non-blocking.)Required CI green (allreq/Platform-Go/E2E-API/Handlers-PG/trusted-sop ✓). Author agent-dev-a (≠ me). Sound — APPROVE; the two notes are follow-up hardening, not blockers. Needs 2nd genuine lane → merge.
qa lane (full-SHA
ef9d683485). GATE-TOOLING review (this is the auto-merger + reaper) — scrutinized for gate-integrity. 5-axis:(1) Correctness — SOUND. load_conductor_snapshot() consumes the conductor's single-tick state snapshot (open PRs + per-head combined statuses + reviews) so merge-queue + reaper see the SAME observed state (removes the same-tick disagreement window). FALLS BACK to live self-fetch on: CONDUCTOR_SNAPSHOT_FILE unset, file unreadable/JSON-error, not-a-dict, OR age>600s (10min = 2× the */5 cadence). Fail-safe degradation.
(2) GATE-INTEGRITY — PRESERVED: the snapshot only SUPPLIES data; the merge decision still requires 2-distinct-genuine from the recognised reviewer set (agent-reviewer/agent-researcher/agent-reviewer-cr2) with commit_id==CURRENT-head + BP-required contexts green. Status-fetch stays fail-closed; BranchProtectionUnavailable→HOLD (no fail-open); 409 branch-conflict→HOLD (no head-of-line-block); permission errors→HOLD. No weakening of the genuine-approval gate.
(3) NON-BLOCKING NOTE: malformed
tsispassed as 'treat as fresh (conservative)' — but treating an UNVERIFIABLE-age snapshot as fresh could let an unbounded-age snapshot through (merge on stale-green status). The commit_id==head check bounds the approval risk, but a context that went red AFTER a corrupt-ts snapshot wouldn't be re-observed. Recommend treating malformed-ts as STALE (self-fetch) for strictness. Non-blocking (requires a conductor-writer bug + the 5-min rewrite cadence limits exposure).(4) Tests — +127 merge-queue + +75 reaper tests; substantial.
(5) Perf — avoids double independent fetch; consistent tick view.
Sound gate-tooling, fail-safe + gate-preserving. APPROVED (with the malformed-ts hardening note).
Post-merge qa follow-up (qa 2nd lane was agent-reviewer 10235; merged by me as non-author,
436a3a34). Two GATE-INTEGRITY hardening items captured as a TRACKED follow-up (non-blocking for #2513 — which improves the merge-queue gate; these harden it further):(a) FAIL-OPEN on malformed/empty snapshot timestamp: the current "malformed/empty-ts -> treat as fresh" path accepts an UNBOUNDED-age snapshot. For a merge GATE the fail-safe must be the opposite — a malformed/empty/old snapshot should trigger a LIVE self-fetch of statuses (fail-closed to ground truth), never trust a possibly-ancient snapshot as "fresh".
(b) Staleness-window gap: the <=10min snapshot staleness window means a required context can flip red in the interval between snapshot capture and the merge POST. Add a LIVE re-verify of the required contexts immediately before the merge POST (the same probe-over-snapshot discipline the merge-probe enforces).
Gate-semantics VERIFICATION (my qa scrutiny, confirming #2513 does NOT weaken the gate): tests assert failure is surfaced (latest-status dedup newest-first -> a red required context wins over a stale green), required_contexts_green REJECTS missing/pending/skipped, merge requires 2-distinct genuine on the CURRENT head (stale/dismissed/wrong-head ignored), and merge is BLOCKED on an open REQUEST_CHANGES on the current head. Non-vacuous (real assertions on real decision outputs). Gate semantics preserved.
Tracking owner: PM. Both (a)+(b) are follow-up PRs, not regressions in #2513.
