What

Adds lint-continue-on-error-tracking (Tier 2e) — enforces that every continue-on-error: true directive in .gitea/workflows/*.yml carries a # mc#NNNN or # internal#NNNN tracker comment within 2 lines (above/below/inline), the referenced issue is OPEN, and created_at is ≤14 days ago.

Three files:

  • .gitea/scripts/lint_continue_on_error_tracking.py — PyYAML line-tracking loader + window-scan for tracker comments + Gitea issue API validation.
  • .gitea/workflows/lint-continue-on-error-tracking.ymlpull_request + push on main/staging + daily 13:11 UTC schedule (catches age-expiry drift) + workflow_dispatch. Phase 3 (continue-on-error: true) per RFC #219 §1.
  • tests/test_lint_continue_on_error_tracking.py — 14 unit tests covering every prod branch.

Why

continue-on-error: true on platform-build had been hiding mc#664-class regressions for ~3 weeks before PR#656 surfaced them on 2026-05-12. A 14-day cap forces a review cycle: close-or-renew.

Empirical pre-existing state: a dry-run against current main workflows surfaces 30+ continue-on-error: true directives without tracker comments. Each is a candidate masked defect. The Phase-3 contract means the lint surfaces these without blocking PRs while the team triages them; Phase-4 flip-to-false happens after main is clean for 3 days.

Behaviour-based gate (PyYAML line-tracking) per feedback_behavior_based_ast_gates.

Verification

  1. Unit tests — 14 cases, all green locally (14 passed in 0.05s).
  2. Self-lint — Tier 2b (lint-workflow-yaml) passes against the new workflow.
  3. Boundary tests — test_coe_true_at_14d_passes (14d inclusive) and test_coe_true_at_15d_fails (15d exclusive) lock the spec contract.
  4. Graceful degrade — test_coe_true_api_403_skips verifies token-scope failures emit ::error:: on stderr but exit 0, matching Tier 2a contract.
  5. Falsification — dry-run against current main surfaces 30+ existing violations. Each is a true positive — the masked defect class this lint exists to find.

Tier

tier:medium — additive lint, Phase 3 (continue-on-error: true on the workflow itself) means no existing PR is blocked. Each tracked-violation triage is its own change; flipping the lint to Phase 4 is a follow-up PR.

Brief-falsification log

Hypothesis: this might share code with Tier 2g (issue lookups). False — Tier 2g compares emission to BP context list (no issue lookups). Each lint owns its API helper.
Hypothesis: comment scanning might need a full YAML re-tokenize. False — PyYAML's line-tracking gives per-key source lines, and raw-text scanning over ±2 lines is sufficient and simpler.
Hypothesis: 14-day boundary handling might need datetime.combine. False — age.days (whole-day floor) gives a clean inclusive boundary matching the spec.

Every `continue-on-error: true` in `.gitea/workflows/*.yml` must carry
a `# mc#NNNN` or `# internal#NNNN` tracker comment within 2 lines,
referencing an OPEN issue ≤14 days old.

The class this prevents
-----------------------
`continue-on-error: true` on platform-build had been hiding mc#664-class
regressions for ~3 weeks before #656 surfaced them. A 14-day cap on
tracker age forces a review cycle: close-or-renew.

Implementation
--------------
- `.gitea/scripts/lint_continue_on_error_tracking.py` — PyYAML
  line-tracking loader to find every job-level
  `continue-on-error: <truthy>`. Treats string `"true"` as truthy
  (Gitea evaluator coerces). For each, scans ±2 lines of the
  directive's source line for `# mc#NNN` / `# internal#NNN` (regex
  case-sensitive — `mc` and `internal` are conventional slugs).
  GETs each issue from the Gitea API; valid = exists + state=open +
  `age.days <= MAX_AGE_DAYS` (inclusive 14d boundary).
  Graceful-degrades on 403 (token-scope) per Tier 2a contract.
- `.gitea/workflows/lint-continue-on-error-tracking.yml` —
  pull_request + push + daily 13:11Z schedule. Schedule run catches
  the age-expiry class (tracker was ≤14d when PR landed but is now
  20d). Phase 3 (continue-on-error: true) per RFC #219 §1.
- `tests/test_lint_continue_on_error_tracking.py` — 14 unit tests:
  coe=false ignored, open-recent mc#/internal# pass, no-comment
  fail, comment-too-far fail, closed-issue fail, too-old fail,
  14d-boundary pass / 15d fail, 404 fail, 403 skip,
  multi-violation aggregation, comment-AFTER-directive pass,
  quoted "true" caught.

Behaviour
---------
Pre-existing continue-on-error: true directives on main violate this
lint at first — intentional. They are the masked defects this lint
exists to surface (see mc#664). Phase 3 contract means the lint
runs surface-only; follow-up flip to continue-on-error: false after
main is clean for 3 days.

Auth uses DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN (same as ci-required-drift.yml) because
`internal#NNN` references cross repositories — auto-GITHUB_TOKEN
can't read molecule-ai/internal from molecule-core.
