WalkthroughChangesThe integration-test, pre-commit, and unit-test workflows now compute stable concurrency keys. Pull requests and merge groups use PR-based keys. Other events use workflow run IDs. Jobs use these keys and cancel older pull-request or merge-group runs. Workflow concurrency control

[low] edge-case
Minor behavioral change for workflow_dispatch and schedule events: each run now gets a unique concurrency key (run-<RUN_ID>), so two dispatches on the same commit SHA will no longer share a concurrency group. The old workflow-level block keyed on github.sha. In practice this is unlikely to matter — workflow_dispatch is rare and the old cancel-in-progress was only true for pull_request events.

…ests/pre-commit PR osac-project#418 correctly runs the full Unit Tests and Integration Tests suites on merge_group -- that behavior is unchanged here and stays exactly as osac-project#418 intended. The actual problem is narrower: none of unit-tests.yml, integration-tests.yml, or pre-commit.yaml cancel a stale run when GitHub's merge queue rebases a PR onto a new ephemeral gh-readonly-queue ref, which happens routinely as normal merge-queue behavior. Every rebase spawns a brand-new full run of these 3 workflows for that PR; the previous run for the now-superseded ref keeps consuming a runner until it finishes naturally. Confirmed live: 13 concurrent Unit Tests runs and 10 concurrent Integration Tests runs against only 4 active merge-queue slots (max_entries_to_build: 4, via the rulesets API) -- consistent with a handful of PRs each stacking up multiple stale, uncancelled reruns from repeated rebases. Also confirmed this repo's actual hosted-runner concurrency (~30-40 in use) is nowhere near the plan's 180-job ceiling, so a hard concurrency limit is not the bottleneck -- the queue stalls because cheap, load-bearing jobs (label-gate, auto-queue, Slash Command) get starved behind piles of stale heavy runs, not because of a runner cap. integration-tests.yml already had a concurrency block, but it keyed non-PR events on github.sha (the merge-preview commit), which changes on every rebase -- so the group itself changed every rebase and could never collapse a prior run even with cancel-in-progress true. unit-tests.yml and pre-commit.yaml had no concurrency block at all. Fix: key the concurrency group on something that stays stable across rebases of the same PR. github.ref_name for a merge_group event is GitHub's ephemeral gh-readonly-queue/<base>/pr-<number>-<sha> ref -- the pr-<number> segment is constant across rebases; only the trailing sha changes. Verified this directly against this repo's own run history (gh api repos/osac-project/osac/actions/runs?event=merge_group): PR osac-project#503 was requeued at gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-503-b2986acb...61 and .../pr-503-f05965f9...53 sixteen minutes apart; PR osac-project#307 similarly at .../pr-307-18b1c7ed...58 and .../pr-307-0c86346b...c1 -- both pairs extract to the identical "pr-503"/"pr-307" via `grep -oE 'pr-[0-9]+'` despite the trailing sha differing every time. Workflow-level `concurrency:` blocks are evaluated before any job runs and can't reference a computed value, so this can't be done as a single top-of-file block. Instead, each file computes the key once (in the existing `changes` job for unit-tests.yml/integration-tests.yml; in a new tiny `concurrency-key` job for pre-commit.yaml, which has no `changes` job) and each actual test-execution job gets its own job-level `concurrency:` block referencing that computed output -- job-level blocks can reference `needs.*.outputs.*`. Nothing from the previously-closed osac-project#544 approach is reintroduced: no compile-check job, no gating the heavy test jobs off of merge_group. Test execution behavior (what runs, on what trigger, with what coverage) is completely unchanged on all 3 files -- this only cancels superseded/stale runs of the same PR's own prior queue entry.
Fixes real issues raised on the PR, verified against actual GitHub
Actions semantics before applying:
- The merge_group key extraction (`grep -oE 'pr-[0-9]+'`) had two real
gaps in all 3 files: (1) if the ref ever contained more than one
pr-<digits>-shaped substring (e.g. a base branch itself named
pr-99-something), grep -o would emit multiple lines and corrupt the
key; fixed with `tail -1` to always take the rightmost match, which
is the one GitHub actually appends. (2) GitHub Actions runs `run:`
steps with `set -eo pipefail`, so a ref that doesn't match the
expected shape at all would make grep exit 1 and abort the whole
step under `-e`, cascading to skip every downstream test job via
`needs: changes` -- added an empty-key fallback to `run-<run-id>` so
an unexpected ref degrades to "don't cancel" instead of crashing the
workflow.
- pre-commit.yaml's new key-computation job had no `permissions:`
block, so it inherited the repo's default GITHUB_TOKEN scope for a
job that does no checkout and makes no API calls. Added
`permissions: {}`.
- Renamed pre-commit.yaml's new job from `concurrency-key` to
`compute-concurrency-key` -- it was colliding in name with the step
id used for the same computation inside unit-tests.yml/
integration-tests.yml's `changes` job, at a different hierarchy
level (job vs. step), which was genuinely confusing to read across
the 3 files side by side.
Not changed, with reasoning:
- The protected-path/no-linked-issue note is a process gate already
satisfied by human review (approved, lgtm applied).
- Per-file concurrency-group naming conventions differ between
unit-tests.yml (run-<job>-) and integration-tests.yml
(integration-<component>-) -- cosmetic, no functional effect, left
as-is rather than expanding this PR's diff for a rename.
- Extracting the duplicated key-computation script into a shared
composite action (matching setup-go/setup-python) is a reasonable
future cleanup, deferred to keep this already-reviewed PR's diff
minimal rather than reopening review scope on an active capacity fix.

GitHub Actions merge_group concurrency cancel-in-progress required checks canceled merge queue workflow
💡 Result:
GitHub's merge queue does not automatically cancel in-progress workflow runs when they become obsolete (e.g., due to queue reordering, PR updates, or PR removal) [1][2]. While you can use the concurrency key to manage workflow execution, configuring it incorrectly for merge queues can lead to unintended consequences, such as prematurely cancelling valid merge queue runs [3][4]. Key Considerations: 1. Risk of Automatic Cancellation: If you use a broad concurrency group (e.g., one that includes github.ref) and enable cancel-in-progress: true, the merge queue's internal processes may trigger run cancellations [3][4]. Because the merge queue interprets a cancelled status as a failure, this can unintentionally kick a pull request out of the merge queue [3][4]. 2. Obsolete Run Accumulation: Because GitHub does not automatically clean up runs that become orphaned when a merge group batch is re-formed or invalidated, these runs can continue to consume runner minutes and concurrency slots until they finish [1][5][6]. Recommended Approaches: To manage these orphaned runs effectively, many teams implement custom "reaper" workflows rather than relying on standard concurrency blocks [1][5][6]. - Dedicated Cleanup Workflow: Create a separate workflow triggered by the merge_group event (specifically when a merge group is destroyed) or on a schedule (e.g., every 15 minutes) [1][6]. This workflow uses the GitHub API to identify and cancel workflow runs whose associated merge queue branch (e.g., gh-readonly-queue/...) no longer exists [5][6]. - Concurrency Best Practices: - Avoid blanket cancel-in-progress for merge_group events if your group key is not strictly unique to that specific attempt [3][4]. - If you use concurrency for standard pull_request events, ensure your configuration explicitly excludes or handles merge_group events differently to prevent the "kicked out of queue" bug [3][4][7]. - Example logic for conditional cancellation: concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }} cancel-in-progress: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' || (github.event_name == 'push' &&!startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')) }} [3] By isolating cleanup logic from your primary CI workflow, you avoid the risk of accidentally cancelling valid merge queue operations while still reclaiming wasted resources [1][5].

Use unique concurrency groups for merge_group.
When a queued PR is rebased, the extracted pr-<number> stays unchanged. The new run therefore shares the same group and can cancel the earlier run before it reports required checks. Use github.run_id for merge_group and cancel stale queue revisions separately.

So the group key itself changed every rebase and could never collapse a prior run even withcancel-in-progresstrue formerge_group.unit-tests.ymlandpre-commit.yamlhad noconcurrency:block at all.The fix, and why the key is actually stable
github.ref_namefor amerge_groupevent is GitHub's ephemeralgh-readonly-queue/<base>/pr-<number>-<sha>ref. Thepr-<number>segment is constant across rebases of the same PR; only the trailing sha changes.Verified directly against this repo's own run history (

concurrency:blocks are evaluated before any job runs and can't reference a computed value, so this can't be a single top-of-file block (GitHub Actions expressions have no substring-extraction function to pullpr-<number>out of the ref inline). Instead:unit-tests.yml,integration-tests.yml: the existingchangesjob gets one new step that computes the stable key (pr-<number>forpull_request, the extractedpr-<number>formerge_group,run-<id>as a no-op fallback forschedule/workflow_dispatch) and exposes it as a newconcurrency-keyoutput.

No application or public API behavior changes. CI behavior changes only for overlapping pull-request and merge-group runs. An active run can be canceled when a newer run uses the same concurrency key. End-to-end cancellation during a merge-queue rebase remains unverified.
Risk classification
risk:show — The change affects CI execution and can cancel in-progress workflows, but it does not change application behavior, deployment behavior, public APIs, or test coverage. It was close to risk:ship because the scope is limited to workflow configuration, but the cancellation behavior and unverified end-to-end merge-queue rebase require visible review.
