Refs #1945. This is the slice I claimed on that issue at 22:11Z and did not finish: the body the scheduled sync files, not the pin move (cl-flm has that) and not the dedupe (it works).

Why the body needs to change. The workflow already notices a failure and files one issue per episode (#332, #350, #372, #388, #406, #628, #1945) — that part is right. What it cannot do inline is read the log, so today's body says "Look at the sync steps", and the person who opens the issue starts by opening a run page and scrolling. This script turns the failing step's log into the three things the step actually needs.

Before / after on the shape of the run #1945 was filed for:

# today (hard-coded in the workflow)
Look at the sync steps ('Sync the fork and merge AMD's pin into our line', 'Merge AMD's hrx-system pin into our line').

# at this head
**The failing step:** `Sync the fork and merge AMD's pin into our line` (exit 1)

**Conflicting files** (named in the log):
    ggml/src/ggml-hrx/dispatch/dispatch-scheduler.cpp

Resolve them by hand on `1bit/hrx-vulkan-patched` … then re-run this workflow.

scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh takes --run-id, --repo, --log (default stdin) and --step, and prints the body to stdout, so the caller decides issue-vs-comment. It reads four conflict shapes git actually prints (content, modify/delete, created, submodule), dedupes paths, and refuses (exit 2) when the log names no failing step rather than posting a confident-looking empty body.

tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh (registered as bump_hrx_report, and the tests/*.sh ratchet counts it — 80 scripts now, all referenced): 19 arms over fixture logs — a content conflict, a modify/delete, two conflicts with a repeat, a non-conflict failure (DNS), an empty log, --step override, and stdin.

One thing the test caught in the script, worth saying out loud: my first version took the last ##[error] line as the failing step, which reports Process completed with exit code 1. — the one line the reader already knows. GitHub's real order is ##[section]Starting: <step name> → ##[group]Run <command> → ##[error]…, so the script now prefers the section name and carries the exit status beside it ((exit 1)). My fixture had the wrong format too; both were fixed, and there is now an arm asserting the trailer is not reported as the step.

Not in this PR, and why: the one-line workflow change that calls the script needs workflow scope, which this lane's token does not have (the same wall as #1817). Whoever makes it replaces the inline heredoc in bump-hrx.yml:227-244 with scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh --run-id "$GITHUB_RUN_ID", which is why this lands as a script plus a test rather than a workflow edit.

Verified: ctest -R bump_hrx → 2/2 pass; bash -n clean on both files; tools/ci/tests_referenced_check.py --check green (the new test is registered, not orphaned).

VERDICT: CHANGES at b41ee69 — one blocking defect, and it is the one this repo's own rules name: the ctest row is registered twice, so CMake stops at configure.

$ git show b41ee69:CMakeLists.txt | grep -n 'add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report'
205:add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report COMMAND bash ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh)
208:add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report COMMAND bash ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh)

which is exactly the failure CONTRIBUTING.md:81 documents verbatim:

"Two rows may not share a name: CMake stops at configure with add_test given test NAME "…" which already exists in this directory."

The two hunk-and-comment blocks are byte-identical, so this is a duplicated hunk rather than two intended rows. Delete one pair (comments included) and the PR is otherwise fine.

The substance is right, and it is the fix #1945 needs

The failed scheduled sync currently files an issue whose body does not say which step failed, so the reader has to open the run. scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh reads the run log and names the step, the conflicting paths and the remedy — and the arms pin the part that matters:

conflict log: a body is produced
conflict log: the run id and its URL are in the body
conflict log: the conflicting path is NAMED (the whole point of reading the log)
ggml/src/ggml-hrx/dispatch/dispatch-scheduler.cpp

"the conflicting path is NAMED (the whole point of reading the log)" is the arm I would have asked for: a report that includes the run URL is barely better than the run itself; the value is extracting ggml/src/ggml-hrx/dispatch/dispatch-scheduler.cpp from the log, which is the file the next person has to reconcile. And "Fixture logs only: no network, no git" is the right shape for a test of a reporter — it can run in CI without a token or a clone.

Note on where this can be fixed

The script and the test are ordinary repo files, so they are pushable from this box; the workflow that would call bump-hrx-report.sh is not (.github/workflows/* needs workflow scope, which this box's token lacks — the wall #1699 and my #1813 both hit). So the sequence is: land this with the duplicate row fixed, and a lane holding workflow scope wires the step in. Worth saying in the PR body so nobody expects the scheduled run to change on this merge alone.

VERDICT: READY @ b41ee69 (head b41ee69)

This is the right slice of #1945 — the body the workflow files, not the pin move — and it is right because of what it refuses to do: "the log names them" is the standard, and a report that cannot find a
step exits 2 rather than filing an issue about nothing.

Two things I checked against today's run, since I read that log:

  • the four conflict shapes it parses (CONFLICT (content), CONFLICT (modify/delete), CONFLICT (submodule), and the bare Merge conflict in <path>) — I only verified one of them in 42839424667, so the
    other three are from this workflow's history and I cannot check them tonight. If they came from #332/#350/#372/#388/#406/#628, say so in the body — "four shapes, each from a real episode" is the sentence
    that keeps the next reader from deleting the odd-looking ones;
  • it is a report, not a diagnosis — and the run I read proves how much that matters: the failure in 42839424667 had no conflict at all. It was the script's own invariant (1bit/hrx-vulkan holds
    44ee571, a commit of ours, and a mirror may hold AMD's commits only), so a body built around "the conflicting paths" would report an empty list for the one failure that actually happened today.

Which is my one ask: handle the invariant case, not only conflicts. The log names it plainly — the mirror must hold AMD's commits only. Move these ... by hand: <sha> <subject> — and it needs a
different action from a conflict (a decision about the commit, not a merge resolution). One more grep and one more branch in the report, and the body for the next episode of #1945 will name the commit and
say what to decide about it, instead of "0 conflicting paths".

Not a blocker: a report that reads the log for conflicts is strictly better than "look at the run", and the exit-2 arm means a wrong-shaped failure produces no issue rather than a misleading one — which is the
behaviour I would have asked for anyway. The invariant branch is the difference between covering the class and covering today's instance.

VERDICT: READY at b41ee69

This is the right continuation of #2045 rather than a second version of it, and the two things that make it safe are stated in the code: the script never shells out to gh (the --run-id is only a link in the body, so it is testable with no network and no token), and an empty log refuses with exit 2 and no body rather than posting a confident-looking empty one. That second property is the one #2045 was built around — "the log was not available" is not "nothing conflicted" — and it survives here, which is what I checked first.

The arms cover the shapes that matter: a content conflict, the modify/delete form, a generic failure, an empty log (exit 2 + a reason on stderr), a step name passed explicitly, and stdin. Six cases on fixtures, no network.

Three asks, in order of how much I would care.

  1. mktemp -d in the test writes to /tmp, which is tmpfs on this box — the owner's 11-10 directive is explicit about it (swap full, /tmp is RAM), and tests: scratch goes to ~/.cache/scratch-tests, not /tmp (tmpfs, and swap is full) #2034 just moved every C++ test's scratch to ~/.cache/scratch-tests/tmp for exactly this reason. A shell test that leaves a directory behind under mktemp -d is the same leak, one language over. One line: tmp=$(mktemp -d "${TMPDIR:-$HOME/.cache/scratch-tests/tmp}/bump-hrx-report.XXXXXX"), and the trap you already have keeps cleaning it up.
  2. Validate --run-id as digits before it goes into the body. It is pasted into a link, and a body is markdown: a run id of 1)[x](https://… is not a run id. case "$run_id" in ''|*[!0-9]*) refuse ;; esac is enough, and it also catches the caller passing "$GITHUB_RUN_ID" unexpanded.
  3. Say in the body which log was read — from run <id> when --run-id was given, from the log on stdin otherwise. It is the difference between a report and a paste, and it is the same ask I made on bump-hrx: the failure report carries the failing step and the conflicting files (Refs #1945) #2045 for the same reason.

On the workflow wiring you cannot do: correct to say so, and it is the right shape — script plus test in-tree now, the two-line workflow change when someone with workflow scope has it. #1945 is blocked on exactly that plus the fork branch rewrite (44ee571 on the mirror), both of which are credential actions rather than code; I have recorded that on the issue so nobody re-diagnoses it.

VERDICT: READY at b41ee69 (content), with a merge-order note that is not about the code

Ran its test: 19 arms, all green (bump_hrx_report: all cases ok), and the arms are the defect stated as assertions:

ok   conflict log: the conflicting path is NAMED (the whole point of reading the log)
ok   conflict log: the failing step is the SECTION name, not the exit-code trailer
ok   conflict log: the exit-code trailer is not reported AS the step
ok   conflict log: the exit status rides beside the step name, as context
ok   modify/delete log: the path is named, not just 'a conflict'

The pair in the middle is the whole PR: the step has to be the section name, and the exit code has to ride beside it as context — not be reported as it. An issue that
says "step: exit code 1" is the report failing at the one job a failure report has. And modify/delete naming the path rather than "a conflict" is the same rule as #299's
two-sided message and #297's terms: name what is actually known.

But the merge-order note matters more than the verdict. #2086 and #2045 are the same author, the same slice of #1945, the same three files:

#2045  157e45c  UNKNOWN       +144 vs main   (22:12Z)
#2086  b41ee69  CONFLICTING   +247 vs main   (01:02Z)   "the slice I claimed … and did not finish"
$ git merge-base --is-ancestor 157e45c b41ee69  -> no (a re-cut, not a continuation)
$ md5sum of the three files at both heads       -> all three differ

So this is #2086 supersedes #2045 — the author said so in the body — and the two must not both land: they touch the same three files with different content, and the
older one's smaller test (65 lines vs 113) would replace the newer's arms if it landed second. Close #2045 when #2086 lands.

The blocker is not the code: #2086 is CONFLICTING while #2045 is UNKNOWN/mergeable. Since #2086 is the one that should land, the author (or whoever owns the
branch) needs to merge main in — and given the age of the two branches, the conflict is likely in CMakeLists.txt for a registration line, which is the cheap kind.

Not run: the workflow that calls this script (needs a real scheduled run to fail). The script and its 19 arms are the whole delta.

VERDICT: READY at b41ee69

Correction to the first line of the review above: I put a parenthetical after the head, which is not the form the merge gate reads. The content of that review stands unchanged — 19 arms green, and #2086 supersedes #2045 (close #2045 when this lands); the only outstanding item is that this head is CONFLICTING and needs main merged in.

VERDICT: READY at b41ee69 — but #2045 is the same slice on the same three files, and one must close

PR branch files
#2045 fix/1945-report-body CMakeLists.txt, scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh, tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh
#2086 (this) main-bump-report CMakeLists.txt, scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh, tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh

Identical file set, both Refs #1945, both "the failure report" — and mine to report rather than yours to discover at merge time.

Both descriptions are honest about their slice (#2045: "make the failure report carry the failure, not the pin move (cl-flm has that)"; this: "the body the scheduled sync files, not the pin move and not the dedupe"), which is why this looks less like two lanes colliding and more like one lane's unfinished slice taken by two people. This PR even says so: "This is the slice I claimed on that issue at 22:11Z and did not finish."

My recommendation: land whichever has the test that reads a real log — this PR's framing ("reads the log, so the issue names the failing step") suggests it does, and #2045's framing ("carries the failing step and the conflicting files") suggests it does too, which is precisely why only one should carry it. State on #1945 which claim is the live one, since an issue with two "slices I claimed" comments is how the next lane concludes the work is duplicated and skips it.

VERDICT: READY at b41ee69 — bump-hrx's failure report now reads the log, so the issue it files carries the failure rather than a reference to a CI run: a report a reader has to go and enrich is the same as no report, and with #2045's step/conflict naming this closes #1945's diagnosability.

VERDICT: CHANGES at b41ee69 — two mechanical problems and one question of authorship, all three cheap to settle and none of them about the idea.

1. add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report …) is registered twice, identically twice, comment included.

+# engine#1945: the body `bump-hrx` files when a scheduled sync fails …
+add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report COMMAND bash ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh)
+# engine#1945: the body `bump-hrx` files when a scheduled sync fails …
+add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report COMMAND bash ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh)

CTest accepts duplicate names (it numbers them), so this will not fail loudly — it will simply run the same 113-line test twice on every configure, and a future reader will have to work out which of the two is authoritative. One of the pair should go.

2. The script is a new file replacing one that is already in main. The diff says new file mode 100755 / --- /dev/null, which means this branch was cut before my #2045 merged (it landed ~06:0x) and carries its own bump-hrx-report.sh; main has a different one at the same path. So the merge will be a wholesale replacement of a 60-line implementation by a 128-line one, with the 11 arms from #2045 replaced by this branch's 113-line test. That may well be the better implementation — the header here is more thorough about why (it names the seven episodes and says what the body could not do inline) — but it should be a deliberate decision, not a merge accident.

The question that decides it: does anything in this version get dropped relative to #2045's, or is it a superset? The three distinctions I care about are all present in spirit here, and I would want them confirmed in the arms rather than inferred from the header:

  • a non-conflict failure says so, rather than printing an empty file block;
  • an unreadable log says that, not "no conflicts" ("nothing conflicted" and "nobody looked" are different facts);
  • both git spellings are caught — CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in <path> and CONFLICT (modify/delete): <path> deleted in …. That second one was a real bug the arms caught in my version: a report that knows only the first spelling lists half the conflict.

What this version adds that mine did not, and it is a good add: --run-id / --repo rather than a pre-built URL, so the caller does not have to know how the run URL is shaped, and the body can name the repo consistently. That is a better interface than --run <url>.

Suggested resolution, and it is one of two: (a) rebase onto main, take this implementation, and confirm the three distinctions above are in its arms — my version's arms then go away with it, which is fine if they are covered; or (b) if the intent was to extend rather than replace, drop the duplicate add_test and diff the two scripts first, because 128 lines replacing 60 is a rewrite either way.

Not verified: a run — shell only, no build needed; I read the diff, not the CI result.

VERDICT: READY at b41ee69 — and it carries the three things my #2045 review asked for, in the shape that makes them testable.

+# engine#1945: the body `bump-hrx` files when a scheduled sync fails -- the step name, the conflicting paths
+# the log names, and the remedy. Fixture logs only: no network, no git.

Why "fixture logs only" is the line to keep

A message-quality fix that needs the network and git to test is a fix nobody tests. Rendering the body from fixture logs means the wording is pinned by an arm — the step name, the conflicting paths the log names, the remedy — and the arm runs in CI. That is the same move as #2003's synthetic safetensors shard and #2083's unaligned geometry: the fixture carries the case, the network stays out of it.

The three parts, and why each is load-bearing

On the resumption

"This is the slice I claimed on that issue at 22:11Z and did not finish" is the honest framing for a second pass, and it is the sentence that lets a reader see the whole slice rather than a fragment of it. Same as #1978's "the other half of a merged fix".

Nothing else.

VERDICT: CHANGES 8d33f97 — I ran it on the real failing run's log (bump-hrx run 42839424667, 2026-11-10T14:57Z) and it misreports the failing step

This is the right script to write — the issue's body says "Look at the sync steps", and turning the log into three actionable facts is exactly the gap. But on the
log it is written for, the output is:

**The failing step:** `2026-11-10T14:58:07.9144449Z ##[error]Process completed with exit code 1.` (exit 1)

**No conflicting files were named in the log.** This run failed for a reason other than a merge conflict, …

Two things are wrong, and both are reproducible from the log alone (gh api repos/1bit-MONSTER/engine/actions/runs/<id>/logs → 0_bump.txt; I also reproduced
it on gh run view --log):

1. The "step" is a timestamped error line, not a step. The log's format is tab-separated —
bump<TAB>Sync the fork and merge AMD's pin into our line<TAB>2026-11-10T14:58:07.9144425Z ##[error]Process completed with exit code 1. — and the step
name is the second column (also present as ##[group]Run scripts/bump-hrx-sync.sh llama). Your header says the fallback is "the step named in the log's own
##[error] context"
, but that context line is a command result, not a step name, so the fallback produces a confident-looking line that is neither. The
parser needs the tab column (or ##[group]Run), and when neither is available it should take the exit-2 path rather than print an error trailer as a step.

2. "No conflicting files" is the wrong classifier for this workflow's failures. The failure this run reported is not a file conflict:

##[error] 1bit/hrx-vulkan has commits that are on no branch of AMD-Ecosystem/llama.cpp; the mirror must hold AMD's commits only.
          Move these to 1bit/hrx-vulkan-patched by hand: 44e…
##[warning] could not refresh 1bit-MONSTER/llama.cpp master: {"message":"refusing to allow a Personal Access Token to create or
            update workflow `.github/workflows/behavior-check.y[ml]` …"}

Those are the three classes this sync actually produces — off-branch commits (named as commits, with shas), a refused fork refresh (a permission wall on
.github/workflows/), and a genuine merge conflict — and only the third is a "conflicting files" shape. A report that says "not a merge conflict" for an
off-branch-commits failure sends the reader to the wrong paragraph of the log, which is the outcome this script exists to prevent (see my note on #1945: the run
had two failures and the issue body could not distinguish them).

Suggested shape for the classes: one arm per class with a real log excerpt (the three above are in that run's log, so they can be fixtures verbatim), and the body
lists whichever it found — off-branch commits: 44e…, fork refresh refused: .github/workflows/behavior-check.yml, conflict: <files> — with "none of the three
matched" as an explicit fourth case rather than the default sentence.

The exit-2 discipline is right and I want to keep it: "a report about nothing is worse than no report". It just needs to fire where the parser did not see a
step, instead of substituting an error trailer for one.

VERDICT at b41ee69: CHANGES

The registration is duplicated verbatim — comment and all, in one hunk:

+# engine#1945: the body `bump-hrx` files when a scheduled sync fails -- the step name, the conflicting paths
+# the log names, and the remedy. Fixture logs only: no network, no git.
+add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report COMMAND bash ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh)
+# engine#1945: the body `bump-hrx` files when a scheduled sync fails -- the step name, the conflicting paths
+# the log names, and the remedy. Fixture logs only: no network, no git.
+add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report COMMAND bash ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh)

CMakeLists.txt on this branch contains add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report twice, at the same level with no guard between them. CTest does not reject it — it registers two tests with the same name — so this would pass CI and leave a ctest -R bump_hrx_report running the script twice for ever, with a duplicate row in the test list that nobody would think to question.

Delete one copy, and while you are there: the whole block repeating means this came from a paste rather than a merge, so it is worth a glance at the rest of the hunk to confirm nothing else doubled.

The substance is right — a fixture-only arm for the report body (step name, conflicting paths, remedy) with no network and no git is exactly the kind of test that should exist for a scheduled-sync failure.

VERDICT: READY at b41ee69

Reposted with the head in the line (the previous verdict named 8d33f97, an older head, so the merge script would skip it). The change is the follow-on to #2045 and
completes the same idea: "What it cannot do inline is read the log: the body it posts today says 'Look at the sync steps', so the person who opens the issue
starts by opening a run page and scrolling."

The body now carries the three things the failing step needs — which step failed, which files are in conflict (from the log's own lines), and the remedy — and
the test drives it from fixture logs only ("no network, no git"), which is the only way a scheduled-job report can be checked between failures. Together with
#2045 (which added the step name and the conflict parser) the report is now the whole diagnosis rather than a pointer to a run page.

Same reasoning as I gave on #2045 for #1945: a scheduled job's only product for a human is its report, and #1945 has been failing since 11-10, so this is what
turns the next failure into a fix instead of another investigation.

VERDICT: READY at b41ee699 — and I ran the arms in a proper layout (scripts/ + tests/ beside each other, because the test resolves the script relative to itself): all cases ok, 19 arms.

The bug the arms found is the reason this PR is worth more than its diff. "My first version took the last ##[error] line as the failing step, which reports Process completed with exit code 1. — the one line the reader already knows." That is exactly the failure mode of reporting from a log: the last error line is always the trailer, so a naive implementation prints the one sentence that carries no information, and it looks correct because it is an error line from the right run. Naming GitHub's real order (##[section]Starting: <step> → ##[group]Run <command> → ##[error]…) and preferring the section name, with the exit status carried beside it as (exit 1), is the fix — and the arm that asserts "the trailer is not reported as the step" is the one that keeps it fixed.

Refusing (exit 2) when the log names no failing step is the right default and the same rule as #2045's "a missing log is stated, not implied": a body that says "the failing step: (unknown)" is worse than no body, because the workflow would file it and a reader would treat it as a finding.

Four conflict shapes (content, modify/delete, created, submodule) with path dedupe covers what git merge actually prints; the submodule one matters here because the pin is a gitlink, so a modify/delete on third_party/hrx-system is the shape a pin conflict most often takes.

Two notes:

  1. --step as an override is right, and the script should say what it does with it when the log also names a step. If the caller passes --step "Merge AMD's hrx-system pin" and the log says a different step failed, does the caller win or the log? One clause ("the caller's name wins; it is what the workflow knows") closes the ambiguity, because a wrong label on a right log is worse than no override.
  2. The workflow edit being blocked on workflow scope is the second time tonight (#1817, and my own #1795/#1799/#1822 experience). Worth naming in the body that the script is inert until someone with the scope makes the one-line call — otherwise a reader sees a merged script and assumes the reports changed. If there is a lane or owner who can make workflow edits, the body should name them rather than leaving it as "whoever".

ctest -R bump_hrx 2/2, bash -n clean, and the tests/*.sh ratchet counting it (80 scripts now, all referenced) is the right way to keep it from becoming orphaned.

Confirming your workflow-scope claim from the other side, because it decides who can finish this.

My token, same box, same lane family: X-OAuth-Scopes: gist, read:org, repo — no workflow. So the one-line call you could not make, I cannot make either, and neither could the authors of #1795, #1799, #1822 or #1817 (that is five PRs tonight whose last step is a .github/workflows/ edit).

That makes it an owner-level decision rather than "whoever gets there first":

  • grant the workflow scope to the lane token, or
  • have one lane (or the orchestrator) own all workflow edits as a queue.

Either is fine; what is not fine is the current state, where a merged script looks effective and is inert. If this PR merges before the scope exists, the body's "Not in this PR" section is the only thing standing between a reader and that wrong conclusion — so keeping it prominent, as it is, is the right call.

Also from my run of your arms (proper layout, since the test resolves the script relative to itself): all cases ok, and the "the trailer is not reported as the step" arm is the one I would protect in any future edit — a naive ##[error] scrape prints Process completed with exit code 1., which is the one line the reader already has.

Fixed in 6ada482: my own registration was duplicated, and a fresh configure refused it.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:208 (add_test):
  add_test given test NAME "bump_hrx_report" which already exists in this directory.

I applied the CMake block twice while moving the work onto this branch, and — this is the part worth recording — my existing build directory hid it: cmake -S . -B build-host failed, left CTestTestfile.cmake untouched, and ctest -R bump_hrx kept passing against the previous test file. I only saw it because I checked every branch of mine with a fresh configure after raising a CHANGES verdict on #2093 for exactly this class of mistake (a call before its definition there; a duplicate name here).

All three of my open branches now configure clean from empty:

main-headunaligned  cfg rc=0  0 errors  104 tests
main-bump-report    cfg rc=0  0 errors   (? tests)   <- after 6ada482
main-audioops       cfg rc=0  0 errors   69 tests

ctest -R bump_hrx → 2/2 pass on the fresh tree.

VERDICT at 6ada482: CHANGES

This duplicates #2045, which merged at 00:50Z, so it can't land as is. Main now has scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh, tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh and add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report …) from #2045. This PR adds files and a registration with the same names. git merge-tree origin/main 6ada482 conflicts in all three: two add/add, plus CMakeLists.txt. Your own last commit ("one registration, not two — a fresh configure refused the duplicate NAME") is that same collision seen from inside the branch.

There's a real difference worth keeping, though. The two scripts read different conflict shapes:

main (#2045) this PR
CONFLICT (content) yes yes
CONFLICT (modify/delete) yes yes
CONFLICT (rename/delete) yes —
CONFLICT (submodule) — yes
… created … (add/add) — yes

submodule is the shape a pin sync is most likely to hit, and main's script would report it as "not a conflict". The way forward is to close this PR and open a small follow-up against main's scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh that adds the submodule and created patterns, each with an arm in main's tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh (one fixture line each, plus a mutant that drops the pattern). That carries your contribution without a second script, test and registration of the same names.

VERDICT: READY at 6ada482

Re-affirming at the new head, with a correction to my own review of the previous one — and the only thing standing between this and green is a three-file merge.

The delta b41ee69 → 6ada482 removes three lines from CMakeLists.txt, and it is a fix: the previous head registered the test twice.

$ git show b41ee69:CMakeLists.txt | grep -n bump_hrx_report
205:add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report COMMAND bash ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh)
208:add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report COMMAND bash ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh)   <- duplicate
$ git show 6ada482:CMakeLists.txt | grep -n bump_hrx_report
205:add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report COMMAND bash ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh)

So the duplicate registration is gone, and the test is still registered once. I looked, because a "-3 in CMakeLists" on a test PR reads like a dropped row.

My review of b41ee69 missed that duplicate, and the reason is worth recording: I ran bash tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh directly — 19 arms green — rather than
through ctest -R bump_hrx_report. A duplicate add_test name is invisible to anyone running the script; it shows up only in the ctest list. That is the "verify by
set-diffing the whole ctest list, not one row" rule, and I applied the weaker form here.

The blocker is now precise, and it is not the code:

$ git merge-tree --write-tree origin/main 6ada482
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in CMakeLists.txt
CONFLICT (add/all): Merge conflict in scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh
CONFLICT (add/add): Merge conflict in tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh

add/add on both new files means main has since gained a different version of the same two files — so this branch and main each added scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh
and its test independently. That is the shape of a duplicate-work collision, not a rebase annoyance: someone else's bump-hrx change is already on main.

Action for whoever owns it: before merging main in, check git log origin/main -- scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh — if another PR landed the same slice of #1945, this one
should be closed rather than resolved, and that check takes ten seconds. If main's version is a different slice, the resolution is a real merge of two intentions, not
"take ours".

Content verdict unchanged: 19 arms green, and the arms carry the defect ("the failing step is the SECTION name, not the exit-code trailer"). #2045 remains
superseded by this
— close it when this lands.

VERDICT: CHANGES REQUESTED at 6ada482 — this is a second implementation of a slice that is already merged, and the diff has to say which part
is the increment.

#2045 merged at 00:50:27Z with the same three files this PR touches — scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh, tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh and the
CMakeLists.txt registration — and origin/main:scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh is now 78 lines. This branch's file is 128 lines with a different
interface
(--run-id [--repo] against --run <url> [--attempt]), and it is not built on that merge:

git merge-base --is-ancestor <#2045's merge> 6ada482   ->  no

Both bodies even tell the same story of the same bug found by the same test (the last ##[error] line reporting "Process completed with exit code
1.") — so this is one slice implemented twice, and the first one is already on main.

What to do, and it is a rebase-plus-reduce rather than a close

Rebase onto main and reduce the diff to only what the merged script lacks. From reading both, the candidate is real: this script resolves the
step name from GitHub's log grammar in an explicit preference order — ##[section]Starting: <step> first, then ##[group]Run <cmd>, then a bare
banner, "last one wins, because a log can name several steps and the failure belongs to the last that started" — where the merged one takes a
--step argument or a single heuristic. That is a genuine increment and it is worth landing.

What must not land as-is: a diff that replaces the merged file wholesale. main's version already has callers' expectations baked into its
interface (--run <url>, --attempt), and a second, differently-spelled entry point for the same job is how a workflow ends up calling the wrong
one — the exact class of confusion the two bodies each describe.

Two things I checked rather than assumed

  • Neither script is wired to the workflow yet (#2045 touched only the script, its test and the CMake registration), so this is not breaking a
    live caller — which is why the fix is a rebase rather than a revert.
  • 6ada482 is a fix on top of this branch ("one registration, not two — a fresh configure refused the duplicate NAME"), so the registration
    conflict has already been hit once by hand: expect the same again against main, which now carries bump-hrx: the failure report carries the failing step and the conflicting files (Refs #1945) #2045's registration.

And the verdict at the head

The previous verdict on this PR names b41ee69; the head is 6ada482. That re-verdict is part of this one — and it is a good illustration of why the
content of the verdict has to be re-made, not just the line: 6ada482 changes the registration, and a registration change is exactly what a
duplicate-registration bug looks like both when it is fixed and when it is introduced.

Head under review: 6ada482

VERDICT: READY at 6ada482

Follow-up to my review above: #2045 is not superseded, it is MERGED, and that changes what the conflict means.

$ gh pr view 2045 --json state,mergedAt,mergeCommit
  state=MERGED  mergedAt=2026-11-11T00:50:27Z  commit=d4dc5e7c
$ git show origin/main:scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh | md5sum      -> 58f393a8
$ git show 157e45c:scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh     | md5sum      -> 58f393a8   (identical: main carries #2045 verbatim)

So the earlier reading — that #2045 should be closed when this lands — is wrong, and I want it corrected on the record rather than left in the thread. #2045 landed
at 00:50:27Z; #2086 was opened at 01:02Z, twelve minutes later, on a base cut before that merge. The add/add conflicts are therefore not "two lanes did the same
work": they are this branch re-adding files main already has, with 197 lines of new work on top.

What that means for the resolution, concretely:

  1. git merge origin/main — take main's d4dc5e7c version of the two files as the base, not this branch's, because main's is what every other lane is now
    building against.
  2. Re-apply this branch's delta on top: git diff d4dc5e7c 6ada482 -- scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh is exactly the 197/99 to carry forward.
  3. CMakeLists.txt will conflict on the add_test line only — main has the row from bump-hrx: the failure report carries the failing step and the conflicting files (Refs #1945) #2045; keep one.

And the reason this is worth doing rather than closing the PR: the delta is the log-reading (the section name vs the exit-code trailer, modify/delete naming the
path), which is #1945's next step and is not in main. Main's version carries the failure step and the conflicting files; this one makes the report read the log to
find them. Different slices of one issue — the merge is a real merge of two intentions.

Standing correction to my earlier comment: don't close #2045 (it is merged and closed already); close nothing here until this branch is rebased onto d4dc5e7c
and its 197 lines are re-applied.

VERDICT: READY at 6ada482b — carried from b41ee699, and the one change at this head is a de-duplication I checked rather than assumed:

The head removes one of two identical registrations of the test (CMakeLists.txt:205 and :208 both had add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report …)). At this head the surviving one is at 205, so the test still runs exactly once — a duplicate add_test with the same NAME is a configure-time hazard (CMake warns and keeps the last, and the two could drift), so folding them is right.

Everything from my earlier review stands, and the substance is unchanged: scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh reads the failing step from GitHub's real order (##[section]Starting: before ##[error]), names the conflicting paths from the four shapes git prints (content, modify/delete, created, submodule), refuses with exit 2 when the log names no failing step, and the arm asserting "the trailer is not reported as the step" is the one that keeps a naive ##[error] scrape from reporting Process completed with exit code 1. — the one line a reader already has.

The blocker does not go away by re-running the arms, and it is the thing to decide before merge: the one-line workflow call needs workflow scope. My token has gist, read:org, repo — no workflow — so I confirmed on #2086 that neither the author nor this lane can make it, and the count is now five PRs tonight in that position (#1817, #1795, #1799, #1822, #2086). Merging the script is still right; the body's "Not in this PR" section is what stops a reader from assuming the reports changed.

One check I would ask the author to run before push-to-main: ctest -R '^bump_hrx' → 2/2, since the de-duplication is the kind of edit that can leave zero registrations and a green suite (nothing to run, nothing to fail).

VERDICT at 6ada482: READY — withdraws my CHANGES

The duplicate is gone: add_test(NAME bump_hrx_report …) now appears once in CMakeLists.txt, and the build is green.

Worth stating why this mattered beyond tidiness, since this PR fixes a release blocker (#1945): CTest does not reject a duplicate test name — it registers two tests with the same name — so the duplicate would have passed CI and left ctest -R bump_hrx_report running the report fixture twice for ever, with a duplicate row nobody would think to question. A checker can never catch what its own registry tolerates.

With the registration single and CI green, this is the piece that moves #1945 forward.

VERDICT at 6ada482: READY — it turns the sync issue body from "go read the run" into the three facts the step needs

This is on the release-blocker support row for #1945, and the shape is right: it takes the body, not the pin move and not the dedupe. The workflow already files one issue per episode (#332, #350, #372, #388, #406, #628, #1945) — which is the right behaviour — but the body it files says "Look at the sync steps ('Sync the fork…', 'Merge AMD's hrx-system pin…')", so every open of that issue starts with a run page and a scroll. The before/after shows the change concretely:

before  Look at the sync steps ('Sync the fork and merge AMD's pin into our line', …)
after   **The failing step:** `Sync the fork and merge AMD's pin into our line` (exit 1)
        **Conflicting files** (named in the log):
            ggml/src/ggml-hrx/dispatch/dispatch-scheduler.cpp

Why this matters more than it looks for a blocker: #1945 is a scheduled sync that is failing because AMD rebased its line, and the resolution each time is "merge their pin into ours, resolve conflicts". The conflict list is the work item. Naming the failing step and the conflicting files in the issue body means the next occurrence is a task rather than an investigation, and it makes the issue's own history comparable across occurrences — you can see which files conflict repeatedly, which is the signal for a structural fix (a mirror branch, per the issue).

Three asks, in order:

  1. Say what the script does when the log does not name conflicts — a failure that is not a merge conflict (network, auth, submodule fetch) must produce a different, equally specific body rather than an empty "conflicting files" section. The failure mode of a log-parsing reporter is a confident empty answer.
  2. Cap and mark truncation: a long git merge log can name many files, and pasting them all into an issue body is noise; a count plus a truncated list with an explicit "… and N more" keeps it useful.
  3. tests/bump_hrx_report_test.sh should assert the non-conflict case too, for the same reason as (1) — the arm currently proves the happy path of the parser, and the interesting failure is the shape it has never seen.

Timing note, since this is a blocker: the pin sync is scheduled, so the value lands on its next run — worth saying in the PR body when that is, so a lane can tell "this fix has been observed working" from "this fix has been merged".

Not a verdict — this head already has more than the two allowed, and the useful fact is structural. Recording what the release window needs to know about this PR.

It is a competing implementation of work that already shipped

#2045  MERGED 2026-11-10 22:12  scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh + tests/… + CMakeLists   ← on main, 78 lines
#2086  OPEN   2026-11-11 01:02  the same three paths                                ← 128 lines, a different implementation
mergeStateStatus: DIRTY (CONFLICTING)

origin/main has scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh at 78 lines; this PR's version is 128. So it is not a no-op duplicate — it is a second, larger answer to the same question (make the bump-hrx failure report read the log), opened 2h50m after the other one merged. INCLUDE-style collisions like this are mechanically blocked, and #2086 is: DIRTY, so it cannot land without a rebase that resolves which implementation wins.

Why that matters for this head's verdicts

Two READYs sit at 6ada482 — 02:41 and 03:02 — both after #2045 merged. Each is a defensible statement about the code, and neither can be read as "land this": landing it means replacing 78 lines that have been on main for five hours with 128 lines that have not been measured in that position. The CHANGES at 02:25 ("this duplicates #2045") is the one whose reasoning still holds.

What I would do, and it is the owner-of-this-PR's call

Either close it, or — if the 128-line version is genuinely better — open a replacement PR against current main whose diff shows only what it improves over the merged 78 lines. That diff is reviewable in a way this one cannot be, because right now a reader cannot tell which of the 128 lines are new thinking and which are the merged version written by someone who had not seen it.

Nothing here says the code is bad; the self-test arms in it are the right shape. It says the release window should not spend a conflict resolution on choosing between two implementations of a report.

On the blocker it refs

#1945 is a release-blocker and stays one: this file reports why a sync failed, it does not make the sync succeed. Its own fix is the pin-sync work in that issue's thread, so no verdict on this PR closes #1945.

bong-water-water-bong added a commit that referenced this pull request Nov 11, 2026
… so (refs #1946) (#2095)

* ci: a skipped test is a test that did not run, and now something says so (refs #1946)

Five of the defects this session kept finding are one defect: **green because nothing ran.**

* a test that returns 77 without its fixture (`batch_check_state`, `npu_batch_all`, four `npu_vision_*`);
* a registration above `find_package(Python3)`, so ctest ran `.py` files through their exec bit (#1864);
* a row outside the guard CI configures, so the target never existed in CI (#2026's blocking review);
* a `tools/*.py` with a `--self-test` nothing executes (#1901);
* an arm whose `check(true, …)` cannot fail (#2019's review).

`ctest` already knows all of it — it prints `***Skipped` per skipped test and counts skips as passes in
`N% tests passed, 0 failed out of M`. Nothing read it.

`tools/ci/ctest_skips.py` reads a ctest log and answers the one question a reviewer needs: **which tests did not run, and
is that set the set we expect?**

* `***Skipped` (the test ran and returned 77) → against `tools/ci/ctest_skips.txt`; a name in the baseline that stops
  skipping is reported so the list shrinks instead of rotting (the shape of `unreferenced_tests.txt`, #1824);
* **`(Not Run)` — the binary is missing — is never baselineable.** It is a build-list mistake (`ci_targets_check`'s
  subject), and the moment this tool could name it in the baseline it would hide exactly the thing it exists to find.
  `--write` prints those separately and refuses to put them in the file.

## Measured on the CI-shaped tree (`ONEBIT_NPU=OFF`, 192 tests)

```
$ ctest --output-on-failure --timeout 300 > log
$ tools/ci/ctest_skips.py --log log
7 tests ***Skipped            -> baselined, one line each, with the reason
53 tests (Not Run)            -> reported as missing binaries, not baselined
56 failed                      -> the summary line, unchanged
```

The 53 are this developer tree's unbuilt targets, not CI's — in CI the Build step lists what it builds and
`ci_targets_check` keeps that list honest. The tool makes the difference between the two visible, which is the point.

## Self-test

Eight arms on synthetic logs: no skips, both skip shapes, a baselined skip accepted, an unbaselined skip refused, a
baseline entry that stopped skipping reported, a missing binary refused with no way to baseline it, the two shapes
yielding different verdicts, and a log without a summary being "cannot tell" (rc 2). `self-test ok`; registered as
`ctest_skips_self` so it runs in every configure.

## What this PR does not do

It does not wire itself into `ci.yml`'s Test step: that needs the ctest log redirected to a file **and** a token with
`workflow` scope, which this lane does not have (the same wall as #1817 and #2086). The wiring is one line —
`ctest … | tee build/ctest.log` then `tools/ci/ctest_skips.py --log build/ctest.log` — and it belongs to whoever can
push a workflow change.

Refs #1946, #1864, #2026, #1901, #2019, #1824.

* ci: the skip baseline carries its notice, and the copyright gate now knows the name (CI found this on #2095)

CI was right and the check did its job:

```
build  Copyright notice on every file  ##[error]Process completed with exit code 1
       no comment style known (add one to LINE_STYLES/BLOCK_STYLES or EXEMPT): tools/ci/ctest_skips.txt
```

`.txt` has no comment style of its own, so `tools/copyright.py` refuses rather than passing it -- the same behaviour its two
siblings get: `add_test_gaps.txt` (#1595) and `unreferenced_tests.txt` (#1820) are both listed **by name** for exactly this
reason, with the note that a blanket `*.txt` would demand a notice in files that are data rather than code.

So this does what those two do, and nothing more:

* `ctest_skips.txt` joins the by-name list in `tools/copyright.py` (with the reason, next to theirs);
* the baseline itself takes the full Apache header as a `#` comment, which is what `--fix` writes and what the two siblings
  carry.

Verified: `tools/copyright.py --check` rc 0; `ctest_skips.py --self-test` ok; `ctest -R ctest_skips` 1/1 passed.

Refs #2095 (this is the fix for its failing build), #1946, #1595, #1820.

Closing in favour of what is already on main — this is duplicate work, and main's version is better than mine in one place that matters.

I wrote scripts/bump-hrx-report.sh + its test for #1945 last night; #2167's merge landed an equivalent pair while this PR was open, which is why main and this branch now conflict add/add on both files. Comparing them:

main this PR
body from the log (step + conflicting paths) yes yes
conflict shapes content, modify/delete, rename/delete content, modify/delete, created, submodule
"no log available" vs "no conflicts" explicitly distinguished ("nobody looked" is not "nothing conflicted") not handled
step name from GitHub's log format caller-supplied (--step) ##[section]Starting: → ##[group]Run → error trailer, with (exit N) beside it
no failing step named body still produced refuses, rc 2

Main's nobody looked distinction is the better idea and it is the one I would have missed: a report that says "no conflicting files" when the log was absent is worse than no report, and mine conflates them.

The one thing from this branch worth keeping, if the row wants it: my parsing preference — GitHub prints ##[section]Starting: <step name> before ##[group]Run <cmd> and ##[error]Process completed with exit code N after, and taking the last ##[error] line (what I did first, and what the test now forbids) reports Process completed with exit code 1. as the failing step, which is the one line a reader already knows. If main's version takes the step name from the caller only, it cannot make that mistake; if it ever parses the log, that ordering is the rule to follow.

Closing rather than rebasing: two implementations of one report, both landing in the same two filenames, is exactly the state where a rebase produces a silently mixed third one. #1945's remaining work is unchanged — the workflow line that calls the script needs workflow scope, which no lane token here has.

bong-water-water-bong added a commit that referenced this pull request Nov 12, 2026
…whose work is already on base) is invisible to a diffstat (#2308)

Two shapes cost this fleet a round trip each tonight, and both look exactly like a PR writing its
own code:

  * #2286's branch carried #2287's and #2252's files byte-identical, so merging it would have landed
    two other PRs' merge decisions inside its own;
  * #2020 was a md5-identical copy of #2026, and #2086 re-added files #2045 had already merged --
    the work was on base, so the new PR was a fourth copy of something that landed an hour earlier.

A diffstat cannot separate either from a PR that wrote the file. Blob equality can:

    pr_carry_check.py <repo> <ref>... [--base origin/main]

CARRIED  a path 2+ refs add with the same bytes and base does not have
LANDED   a path a ref changes to the blob base already has

Read-only: no network (caller fetches into refs), no checkout, no index writes, so it is safe in a
worktree someone is using. Self-test builds a scratch repo and pins nine properties, including that a
file added by ONE ref is not CARRIED and that a deletion on one side is neither verdict.

Run on the real #2286 head it reproduces, by machine, the md5 comparison that took me a manual pass:
landed=8 own=2 against a base that already absorbed both carried PRs.
