Summary

  • Expose an Apple-capable runner_macos_apple output from the centralized runner policy.
  • Map that semantic output to the newly available macos27 runner label.
  • Add selector regression coverage across hosted and Depot policy branches.
  • Route no existing CI row in this prerequisite.

Why this is separate from #1444

PR workflows intentionally load select-ci-runners from protected main. The Apple provider row on #1444 therefore cannot consume a new runner-policy output introduced only by its own branch.

A bounded branch dispatch demonstrated that boundary: the lane loaded the current main selector, received no runner_macos_apple output, and failed before creating the Apple matrix job. Once this prerequisite lands, #1444 can consume the trusted output and run its dedicated macos-apple row on macos27 without adding a raw-label fallback.

Evidence: https://github.com/Mesh-LLM/mesh-llm/actions/runs/32908562559

Validation

  • actionlint -config-file .github/actionlint.yaml
  • python3 -m unittest scripts.tests.test_ci_artifact_actions — 45 passed
  • git diff --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for selecting the xcode-27 GitHub-hosted runner label.
    • Exposed the selected Apple macOS runner label for supported workflows.
    • Clarified that xcode-27 provides a macOS 26.5 host with the macOS 27 SDK.
  • Tests

    • Updated validation for the new runner-selection output.
  • Documentation

    • Documented runner capabilities and platform/toolchain requirements.

Add the centralized runner output needed by the follow-on Apple provider platform row without routing any existing CI work.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI runner selector now exposes runner_macos_apple with the xcode-27 GitHub-hosted label. The inventory documents its macOS 26.5 host and macOS 27 SDK behavior. The test verifies the updated value.

Changes

CI runner selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add Apple runner output
.github/actions/select-ci-runners/action.yml
The action declares runner_macos_apple, assigns xcode-27 for GitHub-hosted runners, and emits the output through GITHUB_OUTPUT.
Document and test Apple runner output
.agents/skills/manage-ci/references/current-inventory.md, scripts/tests/test_ci_artifact_actions.py
The inventory documents the xcode-27 label, its host and SDK behavior, and required execution decisions. The test verifies the xcode-27 value.

Requesting changes. The semantic runner output is the right shape for the protected-main workflow boundary, but the current head cannot be merged.

  1. Commit 3facd3085 added about 990 unrelated docstring lines and changed 13 scripts from executable to non-executable. The Quality job now fails when restore-native-sdk-input.sh invokes scripts/safe-extract-tar.py and receives "Permission denied": https://github.com/Mesh-LLM/mesh-llm/actions/runs/32911811162/job/98007648490. Please revert the auto-fix commit rather than retain the unrelated edits.

  2. runner_macos_apple emits macos27, but GitHub's hosted Xcode 27 labels are xcode-27 and xcode-27-xlarge: actions/runner-images#14404. Unless macos27 is a separately provisioned organization runner, this leaves the downstream job waiting for a label that no runner owns. The inventory calls this GitHub-hosted, so the checked-in value and test expectation need correction. If it is an organization alias, document and verify that external runner contract.

  3. Correcting the label alone does not establish the capability promised by the output. GitHub's xcode-27 image currently runs macOS 26.5.2 with the macOS 27 SDK, while PR #1444 declares .macOS(.v27) and runs swift test. Please decide whether this is a compile-only Xcode 27 lane or a test lane that requires an actual macOS 27 host. Split those roles if necessary, and assert sw_vers, xcodebuild -version, and the selected SDK before doing work.

Depot does have M4 macOS runners, but its current depot-macos-26 image provides macOS 26 and Xcode through 26.6, so it is not a drop-in replacement for this row today: https://depot.dev/docs/github-actions/runner-types. Keep the Apple role semantic so it can select Depot when Depot offers the required OS and toolchain. If the provider can target macOS 26, lower that requirement explicitly and route the role through the existing Depot trust and cache gates.

After fixing the patch, run the repository's required just ci-validate contract. The narrow artifact-action test listed in the PR did not catch the executable-bit regression.

Address review: macos27 is not a runner label GitHub hosts; the Xcode 27
image is labeled xcode-27 (actions/runner-images#14404) and runs a macOS
26.5 host with the macOS 27 SDK. Keep the role semantic and document the
toolchain-lane vs macOS-27-host distinction for #1444.
