Full-tier checks are timing out while useful compile work is still running. At #11735's unchanged head, full gap shard 1 reached 137 of 152 tests before its 110-minute job limit; the unsharded compile-smoke job reached the hosted six-hour limit with native compiles still active. Re-running those same allocations does not address the missing time budget.

Distribute the full gap corpus over twelve auto-optimize shards instead of eight. Split all top-level compile-smoke TypeScript files into four stable round-robin shards, running at most two smoke shards concurrently. Keep the existing compile worker, default auto-optimize invocation, exclusions, retries, failure markers and matrix fan-in. Give each shard a distinct error-log artifact name. Invalid or empty shard selections fail before emitting a partial scope.

Local selection validation: planner invariants pass; smoke selector positive/negative controls pass; all 2,067 current top-level files are assigned exactly once across 517/517/517/516 files; the compile worker is byte-identical to main. Generated tier documentation matches the planner, and all seven existing Cargo test-scope tests pass. This proves selection and wiring, not new full-tier completion times. Full local script lint at dfdc852664948369bc2f97f56c0cd8c8b887d4f6 finished with 111 of 112 checks passing; only Public benchmark evidence freshness failed. The compile tier and two CI-only commands were explicitly skipped. Current head 7e0a9c919219b25c0a3e57180bb534b78894c238 includes the landed GC diagnostic timeout and provider preflight repairs. The second main merge is limited to the three reviewed #11741 files; all eleven provider setup protocol controls, planner invariants and selector controls pass at this head. Actual current-head workflow CI remains required before landing.

The underlying compiler/runtime tests and acceptance thresholds are unchanged. Timeout ceilings remain in place, and a failed or cancelled shard still fails the aggregate job.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Full-tier validation now runs the gap suite across 12 shards and compile checks across four shards, with no more than two compile shards running at once.
    • Compile checks distribute test files across shards and provide separate error logs for each shard. CI verifies shard selection covers files without duplication and rejects invalid or empty selections.
  • Documentation
    • Updated testing guidance to describe shard counts, parallel execution, and aggregate full-tier checks.

A full-tier workflow dispatch at the current branch head is being requested to validate the actual twelve gap shards and four compile-smoke shards. Local scope checks do not establish hosted completion time.

Actual full-run timing at current head 7e0a9c919219b25c0a3e57180bb534b78894c238: gap shard 5 and gap shard 2 completed successfully in 80.03 and 86.52 minutes, within the unchanged 110-minute job limit. Their snapshot gates accepted the original fixtures and known mismatches. Ten remaining gap shards and all four compile-smoke shards are not yet proven complete; this is partial timing evidence, not full-suite approval.

Current-head timing blocker: gap shard 3 and gap shard 4 were cancelled at the unchanged 110-minute whole-job limit after 79/102 and 82/102 completed fixtures. Twelve shards are therefore not sufficient for acceptance. A local follow-up prepares 24 shards: all 1,216 gap fixtures are assigned exactly once, 50–51 per slice, and each old slice is exactly the union of two new slices. The worker, auto-optimize path, snapshot gate and timeout are unchanged. Planner self-tests and generated documentation checks pass; final-head lint and new hosted timing remain pending, and this follow-up is not yet pushed.

Terminal timing audit for the published twelve-shard head 7e0a9c919219b25c0a3e57180bb534b78894c238: all twelve gap jobs finished. Shards 1, 2 and 5 succeeded in 98.67, 86.52 and 80.03 minutes; the other nine were cancelled at 110.28–110.55 minutes. The four smoke jobs remain active or queued. No cancelled gap job is accepted. The unpublished 24-shard follow-up is now refreshed against main b8a44f333e801d9e41a15cffe264d14280597c04 at ba570166d364440330a7d183e5b8b2d716e611c2; all Rust sources and Cargo metadata match that main exactly. Final-head local lint/product validation and hosted 24-shard timing remain pending.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The full-tier auto-optimize gap suite increases from 8 to 12 shards. Compile-smoke distributes top-level TypeScript test files across four stable shards, with at most two running concurrently. CI checks shard selection, and compile-smoke jobs use shard-specific artifact names.

Changes

Full-tier CI sharding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Increase gap-suite shard count
.github/workflows/test.yml, scripts/ci_plan.py, docs/src/testing/ci-tiers.md
The full-tier auto-optimize gap suite changes from 8 shards to 12. The plan checks and tier documentation reflect the new count.
Select compile-smoke files by shard
scripts/ci_compile_smoke_shard.py
The selector assigns sorted top-level TypeScript files by shard index. It validates shard arguments and file inventory, and self-tests coverage, balance, and deterministic selection.
Run compile-smoke as a shard matrix
.github/workflows/test.yml, docs/src/testing/ci-tiers.md, changelog.d/11750-full-suite-compile-shards.md
The workflow runs four shards with at most two concurrent jobs. Each job compiles its selected files. The documentation and changelog describe the setup, shard-keyed error artifacts, and pending validation of CI duration.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7e0a9

Compile-smoke selection failures are not silently ignored. However, GC evidence uploads from multiple shards can still conflict and fail the full-tier gate even when tests pass; fix the artifact naming before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7e0a9

The sharding design is bounded and validates selections before starting compile work. No concrete security regression was established. Remaining uncertainty concerns inherited CI privileges, the exact baseline comparison and current-head execution under cancellation or partial failure.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated expansion is additional CI job execution and diagnostic artifacts within the existing repository workflow. Sharding replicates the inherited execution authority rather than demonstrating access to a new tenant, production environment or data store; effective token privileges remain unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — Shard selection is controlled by fixed workflow matrix values. NUL-delimited transport and positional argument passing keep selected filenames as worker arguments rather than shell program text. Selection errors propagate through the pipeline instead of becoming a successful empty run.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Per-job log initialization, per-test markers and shard-specific artifact names contain diagnostic state across concurrent jobs and repetitions. Failure or cancellation cannot be converted to gate success through diagnostic artifact absence alone, because the gate consumes job results rather than those artifacts. This does not prove exact inventory reconciliation after every interruption or skip.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Give each GC evidence artifact a shard-specific name.

Each new matrix cell runs run_memory_stability_tests.sh with PERRY_GC_EVIDENCE_DIR set. The script creates a log in that directory. The unchanged upload step names every artifact gc-evidence-Linux, so uploads after the first fail with an artifact-name conflict. Those failures make the compile-smoke matrix and full-suite-gate fail even when the tests pass. Add ${{ matrix.shard }} to the GC evidence artifact name, as the error-log upload already does.
