Problem

  • Unrebased PRs lose every Core shard before tests run: selection includes merge-tree files absent from the checked-out head (failure).

Changes

  • Both engines test the selected merge tree, eliminating this rebase-only failure.
  • Snapshot writes skip duplicate patches and reject conflicts; old PR-head writers require a rebase.

Note

A PR that is behind master on a snapshot file its run rewrites now fails "Commit snapshot changes" with "Rebase onto master and push again."
Before, Core committed snapshots built on the stale head, and product shards dropped the file with a warning.

How did you test this code?

  • Git trees confirm the missing file. Regression tests reproduce overlapping-patch failure before the fix and preserve conflict rejection.
  • Depot checked out the merge commit in selection and every Core shard (Core checkout).
  • Depot rewrote a deliberately stale Core snapshot on the merge commit, and the bot committed the fix to the head (commit job, bot commit).
  • Before a master merge, the commit job rejected a patch for a snapshot that master changed after the branch point (rejection).
  • GitHub Actions runs the bot commit on the merge commit (run). Not exercised: a GitHub Actions snapshot commit.
Earlier evidence

Passing CI, uv crash, Core, checkout, product failure, timeout.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Django test jobs now use the default PR merge-ref checkout instead of explicitly checking out the PR head. ClickHouse version jobs read version configuration from the merge-ref checkout for both Django and product test matrices. Snapshot actions skip files whose patches are already applied and fail when other patches cannot be applied, except for the existing amber-file merge path. The CI retry guidance document was removed, and the HogQL action snapshot now expects LIMIT 101.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0f755

The CI and snapshot changes appear mergeable after normal checks; no concrete blocking issue is established.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — docs (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — posthog (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/internal/ci-test-retries.md: The CI retry and Trunk guidance was removed, including suite retry budgets, report and failure semantics, Jest and Trunk requirements, validation and rollout steps, and exclusions for other test jobs.
  • observed — Modified behavior in posthog/hogql/functions/test/snapshots/test_action.ambr: The expected HogQL query limit changes from 100 to 101.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .depot/actions/commit-snapshots/action.yml: The file-by-file fallback now skips a file when its patch passes the reverse-apply check, reporting it as already applied.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .depot/actions/commit-snapshots/action.yml: For files that fail the apply and reverse-apply checks and do not take the amber-merge path, the action now emits an error and exits with status 1 instead of warning and continuing.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes the required Problem, Changes, testing, release, notification, docs, and agent context sections. It clearly explains the CI and snapshot changes and provides test evidence. However, the agent context omits required gate results for duplicate-PR search, patch coverage, new events schema, public artifact review, and the session link.

Resolution

Add the missing agent-context details: session link; duplicate-PR search result; patch-coverage result or justification; new-events-schema assessment and result; public-artifact confirmation; and any required label or follow-up status. Resolve the stated discrepancy between the description and PR objectives about whether live snapshot writes and Depot execution were verified.

Fail when a snapshot patch cannot be applied.

When a merge-tree patch does not apply to the PR-head checkout, both actions emit a warning and skip it. The action then continues to count and commit remaining changes. The snapshot update can be lost.

Note

Agent review, actively prompted for and steered. Findings marked unverified were not reproduced.

Approving so this is not blocked. Running Core on the merge commit is correct. Product shards already check out the merge ref and send snapshot patches onto head.sha, so Core now matches them. The points below are follow-ups, not blockers.

Delete the unrebased-branch guards instead of rewording them

With a merge-commit checkout, these conditions are always true: the two PoE marker greps, the "posthog.runner_name" retry grep, the coverage-core.cfg check, the pytest-split probe, and the LEGACY_FILTERS normalization. The new comments ("Enable retries only when the checkout includes retry diagnostics") make them read as live conditions. The inlined tool cache and quarantine gate can go back to the composite actions. The old "Install Rust" comment already said "Delete once open branches rebase".

Make the snapshot conflict gate less brittle

Require snapshot conflict checks greps the head's action file for an exact echo "::error::..." line. A rewording of that line makes every PR fail with "Rebase onto master", even right after a rebase. The gate exists only because handle-snapshots loads the commit action from the head checkout. If that one action loads from github.sha, the gate and the forced rebase both go away. A marker comment, like the PoE ones, is the smaller fix.

The new exit 1 in the action also needs a hint. django_tests needs handle-snapshots, so a conflict turns the required check red with only "could not be applied". Add "rebase onto master" to that message.

Confirm on Depot

Depot runs these shards after the handoff. The Depot django checkout still passes fetch-depth, lfs and clean, while turbo-tests uses an input-less checkout. One Depot run showing the Core checkout at github.sha, plus one real snapshot commit, closes this. Unverified.

Notes

  • The --reverse --check skip handles identical hunks from two shards. A superset overlap, or two events-schema legs writing different content to the same snapshot, now fails hard where it used to skip. Unverified whether that case occurs.
  • Deleting docs/internal/ci-test-retries.md is not related to this fix. It fits better in a separate PR.
