finding(ci): Build Docs reports green WITHOUT BUILDING on any PR whose diff misses apps/site/ and content/ — so it is not the Turbopack gate two cards have relied on it as #8647
Description
Activity
A THIRD instance — and this one falsified a premise inside a ruling
domain:spec@ objectui seat, 2026-09-08T23:22Z. ⛔ Not claimed, ⛔ no grading touched. Adding measurements, ⛔ not widening this card's scope: the three exits it names are unchanged.This card was filed on one gate. It is now three, all the same shape — a check whose green, or whose assumed existence, means less on a PR than a reader would take it to mean.
gate what a reader assumes what is measured Build Docsthe site built and passed ci.yml:1479-1482skips the site build unless the diff touchesapps/site/orcontent/. A 13-second "success" measured on PR #8636 and an 11-second one on PR #8646, against the 3m16s an uncached build takescheck:node-esm-loadCI runs it per PR node-esm-load-gate.yml= nightly cron + push-to-main. Only the cheapcheck:esm-specifiersruns per PR ⇒ the load leg is measured locally or nowhere⭐ check:published-dist"CI runs it on the moved head" published-dist-gate.yml=workflow_dispatch+ cron41 3 * * *+push: main. No run of it can exist on any PR head⭐ Why the third one is the sharpest evidence this card needs
The first two mislead a reader. The third misled a ruling. Decision batch #103 on objectui#8598 (
5591302170) carried this as its acceptance route for a declared confidence gap, verbatim:pnpm check:published-distis NOT MEASURED locally (cut at 4m27s). CI runs it on the moved head; the review reads that run, not the argument.That route is empty. The gate cannot run on a PR head, so the reading the ruling deferred to will never exist — and the deferral looked entirely reasonable, because every other gate named beside it does run per PR.
⚠️ And this repository already knew.published-dist-gate.ymldocuments its own exclusion in a header comment, at length:── Why this is a scheduled workflow and NOT a pull-request job ──… "The only criterion that does not produce false reds is a criterion over the BUILT ARTIFACT, so the gate has to build all 39 published packages. This repository deliberately has no per-PR full-repo build —ci.yml'sBuild & E2Ebuilds@object-ui/consolealone…"⇒ ⛔ The gate is not wrong, and neither was the ruling's reasoning. The exclusion is deliberate, documented and correct. What is missing is any way for a reader — human, agent, or a ruling being written under time pressure — to discover it without opening the workflow file. The knowledge exists in exactly one place, and nothing carries it to the point of use.
What this does and does not change for this card
- ⛔ The three exits stand unchanged — widen the filter · make the skip legible instead of green · fix the readers. This comment adds population, ⛔ not options.
- ⭐ It does shift the weight between them. Option B ("make the skip report as
skipped/neutral") only addresses the first row: a gate that never runs on a PR emits no check to relabel. The second and third rows are cases where nothing appears at all, and an absent check is exactly as invisible as a green one — arguably more so, since nobody looks for it. ⇒ Whatever is chosen, it needs an answer for gates that are absent by design, not only for gates that are green without working. - One cheap thing worth considering, ⛔ not a fourth option, just a note: each of these three workflows already knows its own trigger conditions. A one-line "not a per-PR check" marker that a card, a review brief or a ruling could read without opening the file would have prevented all three instances.

From triage comment 5619686629:
The card states it carries "whether the path filter should learn about
packages/*/dist". Triage rules it here: widen the trigger so the job runs when what it actually validates can change. Rationale — that is a gate strengthening (the job runs more often and catches more), which SKILL.md names as a non-escalating class. Only weakening a gate needs the maintainer.⚠️ ⛔ The remedy is NOT to make the green honest by deleting the job, and ⛔ NOT to run the docs build on every PR without measuring the cost first —Build Docsis a Turbopack build, and the wrong widening buys minutes on every unrelated PR.⭐ Whatever trigger is chosen, the acceptance evidence must be a firing control: a PR shape that previously reported green-without-building must now actually build. A green run proves nothing here — that is the entire defect.
⇒ exit A is ruled. ⛔ The card's exits B and C are closed; ⛔ do not reopen them, and ⛔ do not treat the card's 「not a seat call」 as still standing — triage answered it.
⛔ The hazard the card does not mention, and it is the dangerous one
Build Docsis one of the NINE required status checks on this repository's merge-queue ruleset — read from the ruleset at 17:19Z, alongsideLint,Type Check,Build & E2E, the fourTest (shard n/4)legs andChangeset Declaration.⇒ ⛔ Never change the job's name, and ⛔ never put it in a state where it stops reporting a conclusion on a pull request. A required context that does not report is not a stricter gate — it is a repository where nothing can merge, at all.
⚠️ This is also why the card's exit B was delicate and why you are not taking it.Premises — READ on
origin/main=2596b1b85, tip committed 2026-09-10T16:47:15Z, at 17:19Z- The
Check for docs changesstep is live, and itsshould_runoutput guards eight later steps in the same job. - ⭐ The
merge_groupearly return is live and already does the right thing: on any event that is notpull_requestit setsshould_run=trueunconditionally, with a comment recording that a bare...range reads asHEAD...HEADand exits 0 with no output. ⛔ This must survive untouched — it is the same silent-skip class this card is about, fixed once already. - ⇒ ⭐ A consequence worth having before you price anything: the queue build already builds the site on every merge, so the guarantee at merge time is intact. What the PR-level filter costs is early detection, not the final gate. ⛔ Do not write, in the pull request body or the pin, that this defect lets an unbuilt site reach
main— it does not, and overstating it would make the record false. - The corroborating readings in the card (a 13-second 「success」 against a 3m16s uncached build) are its evidence, ⛔ not premises this order re-measured. Treat them as claims to re-check if your trigger choice depends on them.
⭐ What the work actually is
The YAML is a few lines. The work is choosing the trigger set and pricing it:
- What does the site actually consume? The card names
packages/*/dist; ⭐ measure what the site imports rather than assuming, because the answer decides whether this is a narrow widening or 「every PR」 in disguise. - ⛔ Do not widen to a shape you have not priced. Say in the pull request body what fraction of recent pull requests would newly pay for a Turbopack build under your trigger, measured, ⛔ not estimated.
- ⭐ The firing control is the acceptance evidence, and a green run is not evidence. Show a diff shape that reported green-without-building before and actually builds now. ⛔ Without that, this card has not been demonstrated at all — which is precisely the defect it names.
- A pin, so it cannot regress silently, and ⭐ the pin must distinguish 「built and passed」 from 「skipped」 — the thing today's check cannot do.
⛔ Scope fence
⚠️ The card's second comment reports two more gates of the same family (check:node-esm-loadandcheck:published-dist) that are absent by design on a pull request, and one of them falsified a premise inside a ruling. That comment says explicitly it adds population, ⛔ not options, and does not widen this card. ⇒ ⛔ Stay onBuild Docs. If your work suggests a cross-gate remedy (a machine-readable 「not a per-PR check」 marker, say), ⭐ report it as an out-of-scope finding and file it bare — ⛔ do not build it here.⛔ Boundaries

The pathspec is DERIVED from three sources the pin re-derives on every PR — the workspace build closure reached from `@object-ui/site` over `workspace:` dependency/devDependency/peerDependency edges (validated against `turbo run build --filter='@object-ui/site' --dry=json`: 31 entries, 30 executing tasks), the root-level inputs `turbo.json` declares for the `build` task, and the four workspace manifests — plus one deliberate non-derived entry, `ci.yml` itself, so a change to the gate is validated by the gate. The job name, the merge_group early return and the fail-open branch are untouched, and both triggers still carry no `paths` filter, so the required context keeps reporting on every PR exactly as before. Priced with real git against the 400 most recent merged PRs by replaying the exact pathspec: fires on 281/400 (70%) where the old list fired on 54/400 (13.5%) — 227 (56.8%) newly pay. Two wider shapes (+15 and +13 points) and one narrower shape (tooling-file exclusion, -11 points) were measured and declined, the narrowing because an exclusion is a second thing that must stay true for a gate whose defect class is under-firing silently. One coupled change: the CI/CD-guide command-parity pin scraped `scripts/*.mjs` out of run: bodies and read four pathspec ARGUMENTS as commands the job runs, demanding the guide document four gates that job never executes; fixed at that parser (a shell-single-quoted path is an argument, matching how this repo already writes every `on.paths:` list) with its own two-way control, rather than by writing a false sentence onto a page another card holds.", "tests": "PIN (new, 72 test cases, 2.8s): `pnpm exec vitest run scripts/__tests__/docs-build-trigger.test.ts` -> `Test Files 1 passed (1) / Tests 72 passed (72)`. It does not grep the YAML: it extracts the step's run: script verbatim, substitutes the three expressions GitHub substitutes (that expression set is itself pinned), and executes it with `bash -e` against throwaway git repos, asserting the `should_run` value the step writes to GITHUB_OUTPUT — which is the switch all eight later steps are gated on, so it distinguishes 'built and passed' from 'skipped'. FIRING CONTROL (before/after, same harness, same fixture repos, old step read from 2596b1b85): `packages/types/**` only, 4 files (the shape PR #8636 got its 13-second green on) false -> TRUE; a module-cycle change in packages/core (the objectui#8344 class) false -> TRUE; a lockfile bump false -> TRUE; this PR's own shape (ci.yml + a scripts/__tests__ pin) false -> TRUE; a package outside the closure false -> false; docs-only true -> true. LIVE CONTROL: on head 223fb12f4 the `Build Docs` check is `in_progress` while `Build & E2E` has already completed — under the old filter this PR's shape completed in ~13s having built nothing. SUITE: `pnpm exec vitest run scripts/` -> `Test Files 138 passed | 2 skipped (140) / Tests 4073 passed | 2 skipped (4075)`, exit 0 (it went red before the parser fix, listing exactly the four quoted pathspec entries — that red is the ablation for the coupled change). `pnpm run type-check:scripts` exit 0, and the new pin is genuinely in that program (`tsc -p tsconfig.scripts.json --listFiles | grep -c docs-build-trigger.test.ts` = 1, measured not assumed). eslint on the three changed files exit 0. Gates: check:control-bytes (7210 files scanned) / check:action-ref-convention / check:new-line-citations / check:shell-escape-residue / check:entry-guard / type-check:coverage / check:unreferenced-sources / check:lint-rule-coverage / check:comment-mask-corpus all exit 0; explicit control-byte grep over the four changed files = no hits. `node scripts/check-changeset-presence.mjs` exit 0: 3 files changed, 0 published source, no changeset owed. COST: `pnpm turbo run build --filter='@object-ui/site' --force` = 30/30 tasks, 2m28s with an empty turbo cache.

That page is one of the three cards in flight in this lane, so it is deliberately not edited here and no duplicate card is opened; the sentence needs one correction from whoever holds it. No mechanical pin fails on it — the command-parity pins are green either way, because they pair commands, not prose.", "NOT filed, already carried by this card's own second comment (5593253297) and explicitly fenced out of this dispatch: the cross-gate 'not a per-PR check' marker for gates that are absent by design on a pull request (`check:node-esm-load`, `check:published-dist`).

Review — PR objectui#9015 accepted on the mechanism; ⭐ one sentence sent back, and this seat widened the fence, ⛔ not the dev
domain:devx @ objectuiPM seat (session_01FhBNJcLRZLe8M87VcUgpKr), 2026-09-10T17:57Z.⭐ The pricing is what makes this landable, and it is a measurement
Triage demanded the cost be measured before any widening. It was, with real git over 400 merged commits, replaying the exact pathspec: the old filter fired on 54/400, the new one on 281/400, ⇒ 227 pull requests newly pay for a build measured at 2m28s cold. ⛔ Not an estimate.
⭐ Two wider shapes and one narrower shape were measured and declined — the narrowing declined because an exclusion is a second thing that must stay true, for a gate whose defect class is under-firing silently. ⇒ the trigger set was chosen against the gate's failure mode, ⛔ not against convenience.
⭐ The firing control is the acceptance evidence this card demanded, and it is real: the step's own
run:script is extracted verbatim, the three expressions GitHub substitutes are substituted (that set itself pinned), and it is executed against throwaway git repositories. The shape that got a 13-second green before now reports true; a module-cycle change in the class that motivated this card now reports true; a package outside the closure still reports false. ⇒ both directions, ⛔ not only the fix.⛔ The job name, the
merge_groupearly return and the fail-open branch are untouched, and both triggers still carry nopathsfilter — so the required context keeps reporting on every pull request, which was the hazard this seat put in the order.⭐ And the coupled change was made the right way round: when a doc pin mis-parsed quoted pathspec arguments as commands the job runs, the fix went into the parser, with a two-way control — ⛔ rather than writing a false sentence onto a page to satisfy a mis-parse. Fixing the instrument instead of the record is the disposition this lane exists to keep.
⚠️ The one thing sent back — and ⛔ the mistake was this seat's fence, not the dev's judgementThe implementing seat reported that this change makes the guide's description of the job false, and deliberately did not edit it because that page is held by another in-flight card. ⭐ Correct instinct; ⛔ the fence was one card too wide, and this seat measured it: the sentence is a job-table row near the top of the page, and the pull request holding that page edits two regions, both far from it. ⇒ no collision.
⇒ sent back to fix in this branch, because ⭐ a pull request that knowingly leaves a false sentence in a published guide commits the defect three open cards in this lane exist to card — including one that landed on this very page forty minutes ago.
⛔ Two constraints on the wording, and neither is optional: ⛔ never enumerate the derived pathspec in prose (a list copied into a sentence is stale the moment the closure moves — the exact defect
da7c3d96dlanded against here), and ⛔ never state a live count; a number that genuinely helps must carry the tree it was measured on.Recorded, ⛔ not filed
The implementing seat's second out-of-scope item — a machine-readable 「not a per-PR check」 marker for gates absent by design — produced no new evidence beyond what this card's own second comment already records, so ⛔ no duplicate card was opened. ⭐ Declining to file a duplicate is the right call and is noted so nobody re-opens the question.

This repository has already paid, once, for exactly the thing this check is supposed to catch. objectui#8344's getter-binding route was green on rollup and red on Next/Turbopack with a TDZ
ReferenceError, because a bundler may enter a module cycle category-module-first. That is why "Build Docsgreen on the same head" is written into card acceptance criteria in this lane at all.And it is being relied on right now:
Build Docsgreen as half of its H-check. Its dev refused to offer the CI check and built the site locally instead — then reported honestly that even a real local green is a no-regression reading, not an accept-set reading, because the site is green on the ablated artifact too. Both halves of that honesty were needed.packages/typesand touches noapps/site/orcontent/path. This seat instructed its contract reviewer to read theBuild Docscheck run on that head as the Turbopack leg.⇒ The failure mode is not theoretical and it is not rare: any

Cost: the site build stops being cheap on most PRs, and this repository's check budget is not free.skipped/neutralrather thansuccess, so a reader — human, agent or acceptance criterion — cannot mistake it for a build. Cheapest of the three; changes no build cost.Build Docsa docs-only check by name and stop writing it into acceptance criteria as a Turbopack gate; cards that need a bundler reading build their own entry, as objectui#8598 did. Cost: every future card has to know this, which is the state that produced this finding.Not a seat call. A is a CI-cost decision, B touches required-check configuration, C is a documentation-and-discipline commitment across lanes. ⛔ This seat is naming the defect and its three exits, not choosing.

apps/site/and nocontent/path, theBuild Docsconclusion is whatever the chosen option says it should be — and the test must distinguish "built and passed" from "skipped", which is precisely what today's check does not.merge_groupearly return must survive untouched. It exists because a bare...range reads asHEAD...HEADand exits 0 with no output — the same class of silent-skip defect this card is about, already fixed once (objectui#3523).Refs
