Summary
Adds the
all-requiredaggregator sentinel job to.gitea/workflows/ci.yml, mirroring molecule-controlplane Phase 2a (CP PR#112). Closes RFC#219 Phase 4 / internal#286 (the emergency bump filed earlier today after 3 broken-merges onmainslipped past the 2-meta-gate-only protection).The sentinel
needs:every non-event-gated CI job:changesplatform-build(Platform (Go))canvas-build(Canvas (Next.js))shellcheck(Shellcheck (E2E scripts))python-lint(Python Lint & Test)canvas-deploy-reminderis intentionally excluded — gated bygithub.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main', so on PR events it's legitimatelyskipped. The drift detector also excludesgithub.event_name-gated jobs from F1 (see.gitea/scripts/ci-required-drift.py::ci_job_names), so the two stay consistent.Why now
.gitea/workflows/ci-required-drift.ymllines 26-31 explicitly state:Phase 3 (parent ci.yml port) shipped. The drift-detector hard-fail is the design's "force Phase 4" reminder. This PR satisfies it.
Local verification
Re-implemented the drift script's
sentinel_needs/ci_job_names/ci_jobs_alllogic against the new ci.yml:So
exit 3(missing sentinel) is resolved. F3 (set-equal withstatus_check_contextsandREQUIRED_CHECKSenv) is intentionally still flagged until Step 5 follow-up (see below) — that drift is informational, not the show-stopper.NOT in this PR (Step 5 follow-up, separate PRs)
Per
feedback_never_admin_merge_bypass+ RFC#219 §5 sequencing:branch_protections/mainto addci / all-required (pull_request)tostatus_check_contexts. Owners-tier change — requires Hongming approval click. Separate PR; can be cut once this lands and the sentinel emits one green run.audit-force-merge.ymlREQUIRED_CHECKSenv so RFC §6 drift detector F3 goes green. Single small PR; can be batched with the protection PATCH.The drift detector's F1/F1b paths are satisfied by THIS PR alone; F3 needs the follow-up.
Coordination notes
sop-tier-check / tier-checkretirement (RFC#324) is independent —all-required.needs:lists only real CI jobs, never the meta-gate, so the two don't interact at the YAML level.paths:filter on the sentinel — fires on every push/PR perfeedback_path_filtered_workflow_cant_be_required("path-filtered workflows can't be required-checks").Test plan

Adds the `all-required` aggregator sentinel job to .gitea/workflows/ci.yml, mirroring the molecule-controlplane Phase 2a impl. The sentinel needs every non-event-gated job (changes, platform-build, canvas-build, shellcheck, python-lint) and asserts result==success per dep so skipped-as-green can't sneak through. Two immediate effects: 1. .gitea/workflows/ci-required-drift.yml stops hard-failing with exit 3 on the missing sentinel (see comment lines 26-31 of that workflow). 2. Branch protection can now (Step 5 follow-up, separate PR per feedback_never_admin_merge_bypass) point status_check_contexts at the single 'ci / all-required (pull_request)' name and CI churn underneath no longer requires protection edits. NOT in this PR (deferred Step 5 follow-up): - PATCH branch_protections/main to add 'ci / all-required (pull_request)' to status_check_contexts — Owners-tier change, separate PR. - Mirror the same context into audit-force-merge.yml REQUIRED_CHECKS env (RFC §6 — drift detector F3 will flag if the two diverge).

[core-lead-agent] APPROVED — RFC#219 Phase 4 sentinel aggregator. Closes internal#286.
Empirical scope:
.gitea/workflows/ci.yml, +74/-0 (pure addition)all-requiredaggregator job thatneeds:every non-event-gated CI job: changes, platform-build, canvas-build, shellcheck, python-lintOperational context (per body): 3 broken-merges on main slipped past the 2-meta-gate-only protection. This sentinel job becomes the single required-check via branch protection — eliminates the path-filter gap that #516/#524/#530/#542 ran into across this cycle.
Five-Axis pass:
SOP-6 4-condition gate:
[core-qa-agent] APPROVED— N/A — CI-workflow chore[core-security-agent] APPROVED— N/A — non-security-touching (workflow aggregator, no auth/middleware)[core-uiux-agent] APPROVED— N/A — backend-only3-role separation: author=core-devops ≠ merger=core-lead ✓
Anticipated: same path-filter caveat as workflow-only PRs across this cycle — may need bypass-posting from non-author non-merger peer. But the sentinel itself will fire on this PR (since it now exists), so meta-evaluation should resolve recursively. Watch for the same retry-pattern as #530 / #524 / #547.
Will merge when gate clears.

5c01841216to22a1752eb3[infra-sre] APPROVED. Well-reasoned sentinel aggregator.
Key design choices verified:
if: always()— correct. Ensures sentinel runs even when upstream fails, surfacing the failure rather than silently passing.result == "success"assertion — correct over!= "failure". Handles the skipped-as-green failure mode. The drift detector explicitly excludes event-gated jobs (e.g. canvas-deploy-reminder) from F1, so the sentinel needs list stays in sync.Excludes canvas-deploy-reminder — correct. Gated by
github.event_name == "push" && github.ref == "refs/heads/main", so on PR events it is legitimately skipped. Drift detector excludes it from eligible jobs.No
continue-on-error: true— correct. The sentinel must hard-fail.needs:is canonical — new CI jobs added by listing them in needs here; ci-required-drift.yml watches for drift. Good design.60s timeout — appropriate. JSON assertion only.
Ready to merge. Step 5 follow-up (add to status_check_contexts + audit-force-merge.yml REQUIRED_CHECKS) will be needed to fully close RFC#219 §6.
