ci(lint)/pm: the PM dispatch-gates self-test (7.6–13.1 min, one step) is Lint & Repo Gates' critical path on PR and merge_group runs; its family read-set selects it on most PRs — tier the battery or narrow the read-set

Filing gate: ③ a maintainer-directed task — the maintainer, after this seat's CI assessment in this session, verbatim: 「CI 优化按照你的建议创建任务」 — carrying ① a measured defect with a named fix site: the PM dispatch-gates self-test step takes 7.6–13.1 minutes whenever it runs and alone makes Lint & Repo Gates the critical path of Lint & Type Check on pull_request and merge_group runs; its gate-family read-set is the tool's own inputs (every workflow file, every check:* script through the root and package package.jsons, all of scripts/** and packages/*/scripts/**, .claude/**, skills/**, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md), so most PRs select it. Filed by domain:skills seat 2 (seat post #19287, session_0181E4ZeZmWyknawnauxD2CE). ⛔ Not a claim. The tooling entry rule (triage-duties.md:34) is met by the maintainer's instruction quoted here; the guarded surface is the required context Lint & Repo Gates.
Reader: triage first-touch → the battery is PM tooling (domain:skills); its CI wiring (scripts/ci/select-gate-families.sh, lint.yml) is domain:devx. The seat proposes domain:skills with the wiring touched minimally; triage routes.
Dedupe: page-looped REST listings, closed included (union 1,266 as on the sibling cards) grepped for dispatch-gates.*(self-test|lint|critical)|pm-dispatch-gates → 11 hits. The nearest: #16496 (closed: Lint & Repo Gates is the merge-group critical path after #16453; run each gate family only on the paths it reads — the origin of select-gate-families.sh), #16769 (closed: pins for the families' key sets), #18201 (closed: pnpm check:pm-dispatch-gates cannot complete inside the container's 10-minute cap), #21719 (closed: the battery holds the shared verify lock about 20 minutes), #8162 (the original unconditional rationale cited at lint.yml:985). None tiers the battery or re-measures what its read-set costs the PR path; W3 on #22060 (on hold) is the long-horizon split of the frozen file, not this card.

What is measured

Lint & Type Check pull_request run 37567293525 (branch claude/issue-22044-…): wall 26.4 min; Lint & Repo Gates 26.4 min is the critical path; its longest step is PM dispatch-gates self-test 10.9 min, then the engine query-options erasure ratchet 2.1 and ESLint 1.3.
merge_group run 37570577129 (queue entry for perf(spec): a bundle that never reads the ADR-0087 conversion table stops keeping it, 226 KB gzip off the console first screen (#22044) #22048): wall 25.3 min; Lint & Repo Gates 25.3 min; the self-test 10.2 min.
All four hourly scheduled Lint runs sampled ran it (the scheduled run keeps the whole battery by design, select-gate-families.sh:27-28).
pull_request run 37572678684 (branch claude/issue-22047-…) skipped it: Lint wall 17.5 min, and Type Check · workspace (17.4 min) became the critical path. So without this step the Lint wall is about 17 minutes.
Locally the battery took 842.7 s and 1,023.8 s in the two os-dev reports of this shift (1,976 cases), under the shared verify lock.
The read-set (scripts/ci/select-gate-families.sh:54-74): the tool discovers every workflow file, resolves every check:* script through the root and package package.jsons, reads each gate's source for watch hints (ALL of scripts/** and every packages/*/scripts/**), and reads .claude/**, skills/**, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md. A PR that touches any package manifest or any script selects the 8–13-minute step; the tree-wide content censuses the battery also performs are already declared "deliberately off the PR path" in that comment, yet they run whenever the family is selected, because the battery has one tier.
Constraint: the self-test lives inside scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs, which is frozen under ruling 208 (R6); the wrapper is scripts/pm/check-dispatch-gates.mjs.

Done when

A timing breakdown of the 1,976 cases by group (one run, exit codes recorded) names which groups carry the minutes.
The battery has two tiers: a fast tier — the pins that read the PR's own changed inputs — runs on pull_request and merge_group when the family is selected; a slow tier — the tree-wide censuses (compound-anchor census, exposed-scratch-dir sweep, tracked-name reachability) — runs on push to main and the scheduled full run only, where a red files a card as the hourly full run already does (ci: push runs on main use the affected set; an hourly scheduled run keeps the full list and files a card on red (maintainer-directed) #16467). Implemented in the wrapper and the family selector if the frozen file needs no edit; if it needs one flag, the PR names that flag and quotes the maintainer's unfreeze for exactly it.
The family's read-set is narrowed to what the fast tier reads, and select-gate-families.sh --self-test pins ([finding] nothing pins select-gate-families's key sets to the gates' LIVE read-sets — the dispatch-gates self-test grew a .sh content census the day the selector shipped, and the selector has no *.sh arm #16769) are updated with it.
Pin: on a PR touching only packages/*/src/**, Lint & Repo Gates runs no PM self-test and its wall is under 18 minutes; the merge_group run's critical path after the change is measured in the PR body with run ids.
⛔ No verdict changes: every case still runs at least daily; ⛔ Lint & Repo Gates stays a required context; ⛔ no edit to dispatch-gates.mjs beyond the one flag, if any, and only with the quoted unfreeze.

Path: fleet decision — CI and merge-queue wall time set by the slowest required job | 缺项 | none

Triage: first grade, `tooling` · `priority:p2` · `domain:devx` · `area:devpath` · `pm:queue`. Direction: narrow the read-set in `select-gate-families.sh`; ⛔ no edit to `dispatch-gates.mjs`

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-07T13:13Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Triage: lands in scripts/ci/select-gate-families.sh (the pm_dispatch_gates family's read-set, :54 onward) ⇒ domain:devx; rationale: the CI wiring is devx's. The battery itself is the skills lane's, and it is not touched.

Why it enters, as a maintainer-directed tooling card: the maintainer asked for these tasks (「CI 优化按照你的建议创建任务」, quoted in the body), and the first line names the guarded required contexts. So triage-duties.md:34 is met. :64 (close a p2/p3 tooling card while the lane queue holds an open P1, here release(v18): enter Changesets pre mode on main (changeset pre enter next) with one major marker, so the first v18 prerelease is 18.0.0-next.0 — the opening ruled B on #22050 #22080) does not apply to a maintainer-directed card, as on objectui#11762.
Why p2: the self-test (7.6–13.1 min, one step) is Lint & Repo Gates' critical path on most PRs and on every queue entry, as measured.
Direction (ruled here): narrow the read-set to the inputs that can change the battery's verdicts. The PR measures that set: which file classes move the self-test's outcome. The family runs on a PR or queue entry only when one of them changes.
- The backstop stays. push to main and the scheduled full run keep the whole battery (select-gate-families.sh:27–:28, by design).
- The PR body states the coverage that moves from PR time to those runs.
- ⛔ Tiering the battery is not taken here. It edits scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs, which ruling 208 freezes; lifting that freeze is W3 of program(pm): rule-text diet and guard-script split for the skills lane — 3,020 lines of skill text, 126k lines of pm scripts (two files 65k), 58 commits in two weeks; plus a body section-patch door and template files for seat writes #22060, under the maintainer's dispatch hold.
Pins:
- a PR touching only product code skips the family;
- a PR touching a gate's source, a workflow's gate wiring or scripts/pm/** runs it;
- the scheduled run still runs it (control).

Seat review of PR #22092 against GitHub, at head 1ed9df2285 on base 3d9188502e. Report: 6040744564. Claim: 6039160559.

Checklist conclusions

Shape: draft PR to main. Body line 1 is Fixes #22076; no other closing keyword in the body. Clause-②: no is at line start.
Files (get_files):
- scripts/ci/select-gate-families.sh (+158 −25);
- scripts/ci/select-gate-families.selftest.sh, the selector's self-test, where triage's pins live. The claim named the selector; its pins are in this sibling file, so the deviation is accepted.
- No edit to scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs, check-dispatch-gates.mjs or lint.yml. Ruling 208's freeze holds.
- Not governed. skip-changeset is correct, because a CI-wiring diff publishes nothing.
The selector's diff, read in full: the pm_dispatch_gates arm now runs on:
- scripts/pm/** whole and .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/**;
- .claude/** files other than .md / .json;
- every code file under scripts/;
- a .json / .md / .txt under scripts/ only when a quoted ./ / ../ specifier in HEAD ends in its basename;
- a *.test.* under a package's scripts/ only when a package.json or a .github/ file spells its basename;
- every other path it ran on before.
Fail-open holds. Both new helpers return "named" (so: run) on any git grep answer but a clean no-match (rc == 1). Their searches are deliberate supersets: the whole tree, comments unmasked. A deletion or rename still runs every family, and push / schedule keep the whole battery (:27–:28).
The verdict-moving classes were measured, not inferred. One full battery run (1976 cases, exit 0) ran under a read hook over every fs open and child process. The skipped classes are files the battery never opens, or only tests for existence: scripts data and prose, skills/**, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and .claude/** prose and JSON outside the rulebook.
- The third class, unwired tests under a package's scripts/, is census-grade, which is ci(lint): tooling self-tests leave the product PR path — pm_dispatch_gates and the other script self-tests run on a PR only when their own inputs change (ruling #208 on #19491) #19498's existing standard for src/ tests. The PR body and the selector header say so.
Effect, replayed over the last 300 first-parent merges: the family is selected on 95 → 55 (40 flip run → skip, 0 flip back). That includes the queue entry ci(lint)/pm: the PM dispatch-gates self-test (7.6–13.1 min, one step) is Lint & Repo Gates' critical path on PR and merge_group runs; its family read-set selects it on most PRs — tier the battery or narrow the read-set #22076 measured (PR perf(spec): a bundle that never reads the ADR-0087 conversion table stops keeping it, 226 KB gzip off the console first screen (#22044) #22048).
Triage's three pins: a product-only PR skips; a gate source, workflow wiring or scripts/pm/** runs it; the scheduled run still runs it. They are present as self-test cases by name, each with a non-vacuity partner. check:select-gate-families: 71 cases, 369 checks, green. Reverse verification on the committed fix:
- the old selector under the new self-test → 7 cases red;
- each new helper ablated in turn → its own case red, restored by blob hash.
The premise correction is accepted: "most PRs" was 31.7% of merges, not most.
CI at head 1ed9df2285: 23 success, 11 skipped (path-filtered: Build Core, Build Docs, Console Pin Gate, the dogfood and Temporal jobs, Dogfood Verify CLI, Check Changeset under skip-changeset, size and label reruns, the opt-in tarball smoke), 0 red. Lint & Repo Gates and the four Type Check jobs are green.

Deviations, all accepted:

The battery control ran detached, not through os-verify-lock.sh. The dev definition says check:* batteries do not take the lock, and the definition outranks the dispatch prompt.
The derivation printed 27 commands, not 25, over the two-file diff. All 27 ran, exit 0, --ran reconciled.

Acceptance notes (not filed):

declared_population_live, bare_root_worklist and self_test_workflow_commands share reads_gate_tree and still run on scripts/ data files. Whether they can narrow is unmeasured.
.github/CODEOWNERS, labeler.yml and dependabot.yml still run the battery, though it never opens them. None of the 300 replayed merges touched them.

Owed after landing:

Done-when's wall pin: the Lint & Repo Gates wall under 18 minutes on a product-only PR.
The merge_group critical-path reading.

Both are read from the first such runs after the merge and recorded in the landing record.

Merged through the merge queue at 2026-10-07T17:49:48Z. The squash commit dfa427bc67 is on main.
Verified on main by blob identity, both files equal to the PR head df8e26e3fb:
- scripts/ci/select-gate-families.sh = 76f368b76d;
- scripts/ci/select-gate-families.selftest.sh = 7422005c5f.
The card closed completed on Fixes #22076. pm:dispatched is removed in this act.
The queue-time patch round: during GitHub's Actions incident the first CI run (37641184309) never created the required Test Core aggregate. A merge of main (df8e26e3fb, addendum 6041719019) re-ran it green. The selector files were byte-unchanged.

The queue entry's own reading (Lint 37658565268):

This diff touches scripts/ci/, so the family ran here, as designed: PM dispatch-gates self-test 765 s, inside Lint & Repo Gates 26m44s.
With ci: Lint's three Type Check jobs, the Test Core shards, dogfood and Temporal each rebuild the workspace (3.5–5.8 min per job, ~25–30 job-min per CI+Lint pair) — extend #21186's turbo remote cache to them #22077 landed, the four Type Check lanes took 1–3.5 min. So Lint & Repo Gates is now the only long job in the Lint workflow, which is where this card's narrowing pays.

Still owed (the card's wall pin): the first product-only PR or queue entry after this merge. Its Lint & Repo Gates should run no PM self-test, with a wall under 18 minutes. That gets read and recorded here with its run id.

Post-landing reading — #22076's wall pin · `domain:devx#2` · 2026-10-07T18:29Z

This is the reading owed by the landing record 6043608279, taken from the first runs after dfa427bc67. In every run below, the PM dispatch-gates self-test step reads skipped.

The pin: a product-only change. In each of these runs the self-test is skipped and the Lint & Repo Gates wall is under 18 minutes.

Before and after, on the same kind of queue entry

Before (the card's baseline, 37570577129, the queue entry for perf(spec): a bundle that never reads the ADR-0087 conversion table stops keeping it, 226 KB gzip off the console first screen (#22044) #22048):
- the Lint & Type Check wall was 25.3 min;
- the self-test alone took 10.2 min;
- the sibling CI run took 37.1 min.
After (feat(core): one by-name read of the security catalog (ADR-0131 C2, stage S1) #22091's queue entry, head c28f317ec6):
- the Lint & Type Check wall is 11.6 min. Lint & Repo Gates (11.5) is still that workflow's longest job, ahead of Type Check · workspace (6.8).
- The queue entry's critical path is now CI (31.6 min). Within it, Test Core (1/6) takes 30.2 min, against 8.1–13.8 min for the other five shards. That imbalance belongs to the shard-timings work in finding(ci): the shard-timings dataset rests on ONE scheduled run, and records @objectstack/spec at 1134.86 s against 1573–1651 s executed — #16468's 25%-headroom ceilings built on it would red every PR that runs spec #22014, not to this card.

One run outside the pin, recorded so it is not mistaken for a regression

37662943138 is a pull_request run for feat(platform-objects,service-automation,service-realtime)!: seven deployment-level tables lose their injected organization column, and reads need manage_platform_settings (ADR-0131 D7) #22107, which also touches scripts/platform-object-tenancy-census.json.
The self-test was correctly skipped: the file is scripts data, and no relative specifier names it.
Its Lint & Repo Gates wall was 19.3 min, but no step took more than 2.7 min: 194 successful steps summed to 19.3 min, against 189 summing to 11.4 min in 37658572315.
The extra minutes are spread across steps, not in this family. A change that touches scripts data still selects the census families that read it.

Done-when's wall pin is met. Nothing further is owed on this card.
