Summary

The gate-check job in .gitea/workflows/gate-check-v3.yml was unbounded. Combined with the intentional cancel-in-progress: false (Gitea 1.22.6 has no REST rerun and risks dismiss_stale_approvals per the workflow comment), a hung-while-running run hangs the concurrency group unconcluded.

The gate-check-v3 / gate-check (pull_request_target) context is advisory — continue-on-error: true + bp-exempt — so a concluded failure is ignored. Only an UNconcluded hung run 405-blocks the Gitea merge-check.

Fix

Add timeout-minutes: 10 to the gate-check job. Normal conclude-time is ~12-16s, so 10m is a ~30x safety margin over a stuck Python tick. A hung run hits the timeout → concludes as failure → ignored as advisory.

Diff

   # bp-exempt: PR advisory bot; merge blocking is enforced by CI status and branch protection.
   gate-check:
     runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    # Hard bound on a hung-while-running run so the advisory context
+    # CONCLUDES (continue-on-error: true -> ignored) instead of
+    # hanging unconcluded and 405-blocking the Gitea merge-check.
+    # Normal conclude-time is ~12-16s, so 10m is a 30x safety margin
+    # over a stuck Python tick. Does NOT fix a QUEUED-never-picked-up
+    # orphan (operator-side run-clearing needed for that).
+    timeout-minutes: 10
     # mc#1982: pre-existing continue-on-error mask; root-fix and remove, do not renew silently.
     continue-on-error: true  # Never block on our own detector failing
     steps:

Single-line scope: ONLY add timeout-minutes. NO change to cancel-in-progress (kept false), continue-on-error, if:, needs:, or the bp-exempt config. The workflow remains advisory-only.

Caveat (for follow-up, NOT in this PR)

timeout-minutes only counts once the run is RUNNING. It does NOT fix a QUEUED-never-picked-up orphan (operator-side run-clearing is the fix for that).

## Summary The `gate-check` job in `.gitea/workflows/gate-check-v3.yml` was unbounded. Combined with the intentional `cancel-in-progress: false` (Gitea 1.22.6 has no REST rerun and risks `dismiss_stale_approvals` per the workflow comment), a hung-while-running run hangs the concurrency group unconcluded. The `gate-check-v3 / gate-check (pull_request_target)` context is **advisory** — `continue-on-error: true` + bp-exempt — so a *concluded* failure is ignored. Only an *UNconcluded* hung run 405-blocks the Gitea merge-check. ## Fix Add `timeout-minutes: 10` to the `gate-check` job. Normal conclude-time is ~12-16s, so 10m is a ~30x safety margin over a stuck Python tick. A hung run hits the timeout → concludes as failure → ignored as advisory. ## Diff ```diff # bp-exempt: PR advisory bot; merge blocking is enforced by CI status and branch protection. gate-check: runs-on: ubuntu-latest + # Hard bound on a hung-while-running run so the advisory context + # CONCLUDES (continue-on-error: true -> ignored) instead of + # hanging unconcluded and 405-blocking the Gitea merge-check. + # Normal conclude-time is ~12-16s, so 10m is a 30x safety margin + # over a stuck Python tick.

ci(gate-check-v3): add timeout-minutes:10 to gate-check job (hung-run bound) ... 1d10f4db14

The gate-check job was unbounded, so a hung-while-running run hung
the concurrency group unconcluded. Combined with cancel-in-progress:
false (intentional — Gitea 1.22.6 dismiss_stale_approvals + no-REST-
rerun risk per the workflow comment), this wedged PR merge-checks
with a 405 on the advisory 'gate-check-v3 / gate-check
(pull_request_target)' context. The context is bp-exempt
(continue-on-error: true) so a concluded run is harmless — only
UNconcluded hung runs block.

Add timeout-minutes: 10 (~30x the normal 12-16s conclude-time). A
hung run hits the timeout → concludes as failure → ignored as
advisory. Bounds a recurring hard merge-block on core PRs.

CAVEAT: timeout-minutes only counts once the run is RUNNING — does
NOT fix a QUEUED-never-picked-up orphan (operator-side run-clearing
needed).

DO NOT flip cancel-in-progress (per workflow comment).
DO NOT alter if:/needs:/advisory-exempt config.
ONLY add timeout-minutes.

APPROVE — gate-sensitive 5-axis (1st lane). Clean, correct fix; it directly implements the fleet-YAML hardening from the gate-check-v3 wedge RCA.

• Correctness: job-level timeout-minutes: 10 on the gate-check job. With continue-on-error: true, a hung-while-running tick now hits the bound and the job CONCLUDES (timed-out → ignored as advisory/bp-exempt) instead of hanging unconcluded — which is exactly what made the unconcluded context 405-block Gitea's merge-check (the wedge I RCA'd). Correctly placed and correctly reasoned (the comment cites the precise mechanism + the 12-16s normal conclude time → 10m = ~30x margin).
• Scope honesty: the comment correctly notes this does NOT fix a QUEUED-never-picked-up orphan (operator-side run-clearing still needed for that class) — accurate; this addresses the hung-while-running sub-case only.
• Security: pure CI-config; no workflow-permission/secret/trigger change, no action-pin change. Content-clean.
• Readability: excellent — rationale + caveat documented.

Minor (non-blocking, FYI): timeout-minutes applies to the whole job, and in schedule/cron mode the job iterates ALL open PRs sequentially (~15s each). With a large open-PR count a cron sweep could approach/exceed 10m and be cut off mid-sweep → partial refresh. That's acceptable here (cron is advisory + continue-on-error makes it non-fatal + hourly retry, and the merge-critical per-PR pull_request_target runs are ~15s, far under the bound) — but if the fleet's open-PR count grows a lot, consider a separate/larger bound for the cron leg. Not blocking; approving.

CI/all-required green; the non-success contexts are the known IGNORE-set (Local-Provision advisory/stub, sop-checklist pull_request author-ceremony) + the pull_request_target review-bot gates this review helps satisfy. 1st distinct lane.

APPROVED — 5-axis review on head 1d10f4db14.

Correctness: adds only timeout-minutes: 10 to the advisory gate-check job, bounding hung-while-running executions without changing continue-on-error, concurrency, triggers, branch-protection requirements, or detector logic. Robustness: normal runs are seconds long, so 10 minutes is a generous bound; the documented queued-never-picked-up caveat is accurate. Security: no secrets/auth/input surface changes. Performance: prevents indefinite runner/merge-check occupation. Readability: the comment states the exact operational intent and limitation.

CI is green on this head and Researcher approval 10666 is current, so this supplies the second distinct lane.
