Recurring failure pattern in redeploy-tenants-on-staging:
##[error]redeploy-fleet returned HTTP 500
##[error]Process completed with exit code 1.
with the per-tenant breakdown in the response body showing the failures
were on ephemeral e2e-* tenants (saas/canvas/ext) whose parent E2E run
torn them down mid-redeploy — SSM exit=2 because the EC2 was already
terminating, or healthz timeout because the CF tunnel was already gone.
The actual operator-facing tenants (dryrun-98407, demo-prep, etc) all
rolled fine in the same call.
This shape repeats every staging push that overlaps an active E2E run.
The downstream `Verify each staging tenant /buildinfo matches published
SHA` step ALREADY distinguishes STALE vs UNREACHABLE for exactly this
reason (per #2402); only the top-level `if HTTP_CODE != 200; exit 1`
gate misclassifies the race.
Filter: HTTP 500 + every failed slug matches `^e2e-` → soft-warn and
fall through to verify. Any non-e2e-* failure or non-500 HTTP remains
a hard fail, with the failed non-e2e slugs surfaced in the error so
the operator doesn't have to dig the response body out of CI.
Verified the gate logic with 6 synthetic CP responses (happy / e2e-only
race / mixed real+e2e fail / non-200 / 200+ok=false / all-real-fail) —
all behave correctly.
prod's redeploy-tenants-on-main is intentionally NOT touched: prod CP
serves no e2e-* tenants, so the race can't occur there and the strict
gate is the right behavior.
