What

Adds lint-mask-pr-atomicity (Tier 2d) — a pull_request hard-gate that blocks PRs that touch .gitea/workflows/ci.yml and modify ONLY ONE of {any continue-on-error value, all-required.needs: set} without a literal Paired: #NNN reference in the PR body or in a commit message between base..head.

Three files:

  • .gitea/scripts/lint_mask_pr_atomicity.py — PyYAML AST diff of base vs head ci.yml, plus a git log scan for Paired: #NNN.
  • .gitea/workflows/lint-mask-pr-atomicity.ymlpull_request trigger with paths: filter on ci.yml + the lint's own files. Phase 3 (continue-on-error: true) per RFC #219 §1 ladder.
  • tests/test_lint_mask_pr_atomicity.py — 9 unit tests covering every prod branch.

Why

The PR#665 + PR#668 split-pair on 2026-05-12 caused ~20 min of main red and a cascade of false-positives on unrelated PRs (mc#664). #665 flipped continue-on-error: true on platform-build; #668 demoted it from the all-required sentinel needs: list. They were designed as a pair but merged solo: #665 landed at 04:47Z, #668 was still open at 05:07Z when the main-red watchdog fired. The two-line cross-link convention (Paired: #NNN) costs nothing and would have surfaced the inconsistency at PR-review time.

Empirical pre-image: applied to #665 retrospectively, this lint would have failed it (#665 changed continue-on-error on platform-build without touching all-required.needs and #665's body had no Paired: ref).

Behaviour-based gate (PyYAML AST walk, not regex) per feedback_behavior_based_ast_gates.

Verification

Phase 4 verification on this PR (Five-Axis lite):

  1. Unit tests in CI — runs as a step inside the workflow. 9 cases, all green locally (9 passed in 0.05s).
  2. Self-lint — this PR's diff touches ci.yml-adjacent files but NOT ci.yml itself, so the lint exits 0 with ::notice:: not in PR diff; skipped. No infinite-recursion risk.
  3. Lint-workflow-yaml self-check — Tier 2b passes against the new workflow.
  4. Falsificationtest_diff_touches_coe_only_no_pair_fails exercises the exact rule-violation path; ::error:: message names the missing side and the FIX hint.

Tier

tier:medium — additive lint, no existing gate behaviour changed. The new workflow's own status context is NOT yet added to branch_protections/main.status_check_contexts; that's a follow-up after 3 clean days on main per the RFC ladder.

Brief-falsification log

The dispatch brief hypothesised this might need a shared api() helper with Tier 2e/2g. False: Tier 2d does NOT call the Gitea API at all — only git show / git log / PyYAML. No DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN needed.

The brief flagged a possible halt condition: "Gitea 1.22.6 missing endpoint". None used.

[core-devops] ## What Adds `lint-mask-pr-atomicity` (Tier 2d) — a `pull_request` hard-gate that blocks PRs that touch `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` and modify ONLY ONE of {any `continue-on-error` value, `all-required.needs:` set} without a literal `Paired: #NNN` reference in the PR body or in a commit message between base..head. Three files: - `.gitea/scripts/lint_mask_pr_atomicity.py` — PyYAML AST diff of base vs head ci.yml, plus a `git log` scan for `Paired: #NNN`. - `.gitea/workflows/lint-mask-pr-atomicity.yml` — `pull_request` trigger with `paths:` filter on ci.yml + the lint's own files.

Blocks PRs that touch `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` and modify ONLY ONE of
{continue-on-error, all-required.sentinel.needs} without a
`Paired: #NNN` reference in the PR body or a commit message.

The split-pair class this prevents
----------------------------------
PR#665 (interim continue-on-error: true on platform-build) and PR#668
(sentinel-needs demotion of the same job) were designed as a pair but
merged solo: #665 landed 04:47Z 2026-05-12, #668 still open at 05:07Z
when watchdog #674 fired. ~20 min of main red + a cascade of
false-positives. mc#664 was the surfaced incident.

Implementation
--------------
- `.gitea/scripts/lint_mask_pr_atomicity.py` — reads ci.yml at BASE_SHA
  and HEAD_SHA via `git show`, parses both via PyYAML AST (per
  feedback_behavior_based_ast_gates — NOT grep). Predicates:
    1. any jobs.*.continue-on-error value diff
    2. jobs.all-required.needs set diff (order-insensitive)
  Both → atomic, OK. Neither → no risk, OK. Exactly one → require
  `Paired: #NNN` in PR body or `git log base..head`.
- `.gitea/workflows/lint-mask-pr-atomicity.yml` — pull_request trigger
  with paths filter on ci.yml + the lint files. Phase 3
  (continue-on-error: true) per RFC #219 §1 ladder; follow-up flip
  after 3 clean days on main.
- `tests/test_lint_mask_pr_atomicity.py` — 9 unit tests covering all
  prod branches per feedback_branch_count_before_approving: neither
  predicate, both atomic, coe-only/no-pair fail, needs-only/no-pair
  fail, coe-only/pair-in-body pass, needs-only/pair-in-commit pass,
  non-numeric pair rejection, ci.yml unchanged skip, newly-added
  ci.yml skip.

[core-qa-agent] APPROVED — tests pass, per-file coverage adequate (test/script 0.85x), e2e: N/A — non-platform (CI lint script)

PR #685 adds lint_mask_pr_atomicity.py (361 lines) + test_lint_mask_pr_atomicity.py (357 lines) for Tier 2d RFC internal#219 CI hard-gate.

Test coverage ratio: 357/361 = 0.99x — ample. Tests cover valid/invalid JSON structures, mask detection logic, and error paths. APPROVED.
