Replace local CI orchestration with GitHub Actions#497
Closed
Conversation
Delete ci/lib.just (~210 lines of SSH dispatch, GitHub commit status posting, guard checks, summary tables) and simplify ci/mod.just to bare recipes. Add .github/workflows/ci.yaml with self-hosted runners labeled x86_64-linux and aarch64-darwin, mirroring the existing step dependency graph. `just ci` still works locally for debugging GHA failures.
Unit tests need git author identity (git.test.ts worktree tests) and the hostname command (shell.test.ts OSC7 tests). Both were available in the old SSH-based CI environment but missing on GHA runners.
Playwright's Chromium crashes immediately on headless NixOS runners without a virtual framebuffer. Start Xvfb before e2e tests and export DISPLAY=:99 so Chromium can launch.
apm-sync uses uvx which isn't on the GHA runner's PATH. Add uv to shell.nix and wrap the ci::apm-sync recipe in nix_shell so uvx is available when running outside a nix develop session.
Playwright's Chromium crashes on headless NixOS runners without a display server. Wrap e2e tests with xvfb-run on Linux (no-op on macOS). Add xvfb-run and uv to shell.nix so both are available in nix develop.
APM now generates instructions, skills, hooks, and prompts under .github/ (for Copilot and other GitHub-native agents). These were missing from the repo, causing apm-sync to fail on CI.

xvfb-run is not available on macOS — gate it behind isLinux.
Use exec so xvfb-run replaces the shell process, and --auto-servernum to pick an available display number. Also skip xvfb-run if DISPLAY is already set (e.g. developer running locally with a display).

CI now runs via GitHub Actions on self-hosted runners instead of the
hand-rolled SSH + git-bundle dispatch in
ci/lib.just. Each runner islabeled with its Nix system name (
x86_64-linux,aarch64-darwin), andthe workflow DAG mirrors the existing step dependencies.
The ~210-line
ci/lib.justlibrary (signoff, guard, SSH host resolution,colored prefix output, summary table, context extraction) is deleted
entirely — GitHub Actions provides all of this natively.
ci/mod.justbecomes a thin set of bare recipes so
just cistill works for localdebugging when a GHA job fails. The APM CI skill is rewritten to match
the new GHA-based workflow.
GHA status
5/6 jobs pass:
local-checks,nix(both systems),home-manager,e2e (aarch64-darwin).e2e (x86_64-linux)fails — Playwright's Chromium crashes on the NixOSrunner (
browser.newContext: Target page, context or browser has been closed).The binary works locally and on macOS; this is a runner-specific environment
issue that needs investigation on the
dosamachine.
