The checker marks a bugfix completed the moment its backport merges onto the release branch. That is precisely the state that misled us last week.

#14065 merged onto core/1.47 nineteen hours after v1.47.10 was tagged. The checker said completed, ComfyUI pinned 1.47.10, and the fix reached nobody for a week while five users reported the bug it had already fixed.

Change

  • Resolve which tag, if any, actually contains each backported commit
  • New merged-unreleased status, rendered in the Slack report as "Merged, not released"
  • completed now means a published tag carries it

A backport is a cherry-pick, so the source commit never appears on the release branch. Containment is tested against the backport PR's own merge_commit_sha; testing the source SHA would have reported every backport as unreleased.

Notes

New logic is a separate pure module (releasedStatus.ts) with an imported spec, written test-first. The existing spec re-declares its regexes locally rather than importing them, so it cannot catch drift in the real values. Worth fixing separately.

Release-line matching is exact or dot-delimited, so core/1.4 cannot match v1.40.0. Failed comparisons log a warning rather than silently counting as unreleased, since a false "not shipped" is the worst outcome for this check. listTags is cached per repo instead of refetched per commit per branch.

The blocking guard for this failure mode lives in ComfyUI_frontend CI (Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend#14429) rather than here, since a safety check should not depend on a long-running bot process. This change is the visibility half.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The backport checker now detects whether completed backport commits are included in release tags. It distinguishes released backports from merged-but-unreleased backports. Helpers, integration logic, reporting, and tests cover the new status flow.

Changes

Backport release status

Layer / File(s) Summary
Status resolution rules
app/tasks/gh-frontend-backport-checker/releasedStatus.ts, app/tasks/gh-frontend-backport-checker/releasedStatus.spec.ts
Commit comparisons identify tag containment, release tags are matched to target lines, and completed backports without a release tag resolve to merged-unreleased. Tests cover released, unreleased, pending, in-progress, and tag-matching cases.
Release tag integration

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6bfd8

The release-status change can currently fail to compile because of a duplicate cache declaration, and comparison errors may leave checks stuck in an incomplete state. Merge should wait until these bounded correctness and readiness issues are fixed.

target entries to use each backport’s `bf.backportStatus` instead of only
`backportTargetStatus`, and ensure completed targets are not filtered out before
this status is rendered. Preserve existing status handling while allowing the

Ensure the persistence logic around the merged-unreleased result does not cache
or save a definitive release status when the tag check fails.

Pull request overview

Updates the GitHub Frontend Backport Checker task to distinguish “merged onto release branch” from “actually shipped in a published tag”, adding a new intermediate status intended to prevent false “completed” signals when a backport lands after the release tag is cut.

Changes:

  • Adds a new pure helper module (releasedStatus.ts) to determine whether a tag contains a given commit and to resolve completedmerged-unreleased when not shipped.
  • Extends BackportStatus with merged-unreleased and adds tag-scanning logic (findReleaseTagContaining) to detect whether completed backports are present in release tags.
  • Adds unit tests for the new helper module.

Fixed both. The catch now logs a warning with the tag and SHA before returning null, since misreporting a shipped fix as unreleased is a false alarm that should never be silent. Dropped the as never by widening isCommitInTag to take the raw status string.

Fixed — listTags is now cached per owner/repo for the run (promise-cached, so concurrent callers share one request) and requests per_page: 100. It was previously refetching per bugfix commit per target branch.

Same fix as above — the report now incorporates bf.backportStatus and has an explicit merged-unreleased section.

The checker marked a bugfix completed the moment its backport merged. #14065
merged onto core/1.47 nineteen hours after v1.47.10 was tagged, the checker said
completed, ComfyUI pinned v1.47.10, and the fix reached nobody for a week while
five users reported the bug it had already fixed.

Resolve which tag actually carries each backported commit and report
merged-unreleased when none does. A backport is a cherry-pick, so containment is
tested against the backport PR's own merge commit rather than the source SHA.

Render the new status in the Slack report, bound the release-line match so
core/1.4 cannot swallow v1.40.0, surface failed comparisons instead of treating
them as unreleased, and cache listTags per repo.

isTagOnLine matches tags across release lines

This can reintroduce the exact false-completed this PR exists to fix. The tag regex /^(cloud\/)?v/ makes the cloud/ prefix optional regardless of which line the branch is on:

  • isTagOnLine("cloud/v1.47.7", "core/1.47")true
  • isTagOnLine("v1.47.11", "cloud/1.47")true

Concrete failure: a fix merges onto core/1.47 after the newest core tag (should be merged-unreleased); the cloud team later cuts a cloud tag from a branch carrying that core history; findReleaseTagContaining hits the cloud tag and reports completed — while no core release ships the fix. That's the #14065 failure mode returning through a side channel. The reverse direction (13 core tags as candidates for every cloud/1.47 commit) is "only" wasted API calls, but same root cause.

Plus the two cross-line cases in the spec — both fail against the current implementation, so they're good TDD targets.

Other concerns (non-blocking) — feel free to direct your agent to fix these too

Performance

  • For an unreleased commit (the alarm case), findReleaseTagContaining compares against every candidate tag on the line — currently 14 for the 1.47 line including the cross-line ones. With dozens of completed bugfix commits across 10 tracked releases, ×2 branches, every 5 minutes on an ephemeral CI runner (the ghc SQLite cache never persists between runs), worst case is hundreds of compareCommits calls per run. Two cheap wins: the cross-line fix above, and checking only the newest tag on the line first — release branches are linear, so an older tag can't contain what the newest one doesn't. That collapses the common case to one compare per branch.
  • listTagsCached pages through all ~720 repo tags (8 requests) once per run — fine as is.

Minor issues

  • Rejected promise stays cached: if the listTags fetch fails, the rejected promise sits in tagListCache and every later lookup that run rethrows. Standard hygiene: pending.catch(() => tagListCache.delete(key)) while still returning pending. Low stakes given the per-run process lifetime, but cheap.
  • Misplaced JSDoc: the "Newest tag on branch…" comment is attached to const tagListCache but describes findReleaseTagContaining. Also "newest" is only true because GitHub happens to return tags newest-first — nothing sorts or enforces it.
  • releasedInTag is computed then discarded: the joined tag names are used only as truthiness in resolveShippedStatus, neither persisted nor reported. Either simplify to a boolean, or (better) persist it on the bugfix commit record and show "shipped in v1.47.11" in the report — genuinely useful for the ComfyUI-pinning decision this PR is motivated by.
  • Report lists not-needed branches: the merged-unreleased line renders bf.backportTargetStatus.map((t) => t.branch), which includes not-needed targets. A PR with no-backport-needed-cloud would read "Merged, not released on core/1.47, cloud/1.47" — filter to status === "completed".
  • Variable shadowing: prs.find((pr) => …) inside processBugfixPR shadows the outer pr (the bugfix PR). Rename the callback param.

Tests & CI

  • The spec is well-targeted; besides the cross-line cases, resolveShippedStatus with not-needed/unknown inputs would be worth a line each.
  • The PR-triggered dry-run in gh-combined-tasks.yaml doesn't include app/tasks/gh-frontend-backport-checker/** in its paths, so this PR gets no dry-run exercise in CI — only the unit spec. Pre-existing gap, but worth adding the path while touching this area.
