Fixes lots of extra parentheses in asserts
Fixes some vm internal errors in the type checker
Adds timeouts per test in baml-cli test so they dont run forever
Fixes another issue where tests would hang.

Issue Reference

Changes

Three independent changes, one commit each.

1. fmt: strip redundant parens around postfix receivers and unary operands

#4489 peeled redundant parens in binary left operands and whole call arguments. A third context was left: parens wrapping the receiver of a postfix chain. PrintChain::new walks the .-spine to flatten a chain, and Paren is not a spine variant, so each paren terminated the walk and became a fresh first — one indent level per paren, the same staircase #4489 fixed for binary chains.

// before
assert.is_true(
    (pet_name == `Bella`)
        && !(
            (
                (
                    (sections).map((item) -> { item.to_string() })
                )
                    .join(` `)
            )
                .includes(`Warning`)
        ),
)

// after
assert.is_true(
    (pet_name == `Bella`)
        && !sections
            .map((item) -> { item.to_string() })
            .join(` `)
            .includes(`Warning`),
)

UnaryExpr's operand had the same problem. Two predicates are added next to the existing peel_transparent_parens:

  • binds_as_postfix_operand — may this expression sit in a receiver/unary-operand position bare? Numeric and keyword literals are excluded (the . in (1).to_string() re-lexes as a float), object/map literals (a leading { reads as a block), and GenericApply (< reads as a comparison).
  • effective_postfix_operand — peels down to the last paren the position still needs, so a looser-binding receiver keeps exactly one instead of the whole stack: ((a + b)).f() → (a + b).f().

Applied at every receiver site (Call/Index/FieldAccess and the three Optional* forms) in both the print and single_line_width paths, so fit decisions stay in sync with what is printed.

2. fix(mir): widen inference error-recovery sentinels instead of ICEing

A generic call in the scope of a type T = unreflect(expr) binding is deferred to a runtime gate, so inference never solves its own slots and finalizes them to an error-recovery sentinel. MIR lowering handed that straight to runtime lowering, which treats one as a compiler bug:

internal error: entered unreachable code: `Error` is not a valid `RuntimeTy`:
an error-recovery type reached runtime lowering

Well-typed source crashed the compiler. Now widened to the top type at the two lowering sites that can see a sentinel, matching what the adjacent out-of-scope-type-variable case already does. A characterization corpus namespace covers the shape that ICEd.

3. test(sdk): assert cancellation stops the run, not just the host wait

Existing cancellation tests assert the call returns fast, which only proves the host stopped waiting — an orphaned continuation could still be walking the function and spending. The new arm marks entry, sleeps long enough to be aborted mid-flight, then performs a second observable step; the test waits out the full native sleep after cancelling and asserts the second marker never appears.

Testing

  • Unit tests added/updated — 8 new formatter regression tests (141 pass in baml_fmt); new ns_runtime_type_binding_generic_calls corpus namespace; new SDK cancellation arm covering task-cancel and asyncio-timeout
  • Snapshot job — cargo insta test --test-runner nextest -p baml_tests -p baml_cli -p baml_lsp2_actions --all-features --unreferenced=reject → no snapshots to review
  • General job — cargo nextest run --all-features --workspace --exclude baml_tests --exclude baml_cli --exclude baml_lsp2_actions --exclude "sdk_test_*" --exclude baml_bridge → 4416/4416
  • cargo clippy -p baml_fmt --all-features --all-targets clean; cargo fmt clean
  • Manual testing performed — formatted a large downstream corpus and diffed old vs new formatter

Pre-existing failures, unrelated: the three baml_cli::exit_code_e2e generate_go_* tests fail identically on canary with these commits stashed.

Reviewer notes

The formatter change has a real trap, and the corpus caught it. An earlier revision stripped parens that terminate an optional chain. Those are load-bearing, not decoration: they end the short-circuit region, so (a?.b).c evaluates (null).c — a TypeError — where a?.b.c short-circuits to null. The null_handling corpus snapshot documents exactly this and failed. has_optional_chain_link now walks the spine and refuses to peel; a ?. off the spine (f(a?.b).c) is a separate chain and does not pin the parens. There is a regression test for both directions.

Everything #4489 deliberately kept is still kept: mixed-precedence clarity parens, right operands, and any paren carrying a comment.

Formatter blast radius — 587 .baml files across this repo and one large downstream corpus, old formatter vs new, both run over every file:

  • 24 files change, −1675 lines net
  • every change is paren/comma/layout only, verified by comparing token streams — no token added, moved, or lost
  • output is idempotent (second pass is a no-op on all 587)
  • compiler diagnostics over the downstream corpus are identical modulo line numbers
  • lines consisting solely of an open paren: 888 → 13, and all 13 survivors are legitimate (mixed-precedence clarity parens, lambda parameter lists, if (…), catch (…))

Only one file in this repo changes: ("é").code_point_at(0) → "é".code_point_at(0).

Known gap in change 2, documented on inferred_ty_to_template: the top type is right for a value slot but wrong for an effect one, where the defaulting rule is never. That yields a wrong answer for e.g. xs.filter(…) under such a binding rather than the crash it removes. Fixing it needs the callee's declared params at that site, or effect-position classification for user-written params in inference.

Note

High Risk
Touches type inference, MIR lowering, parser recovery, diagnostic rendering, and engine shutdown/cancellation — correctness-sensitive compiler and runtime paths. Formatter paren peeling can change semantics if optional-chain parens are mishandled.

Overview
Bundles several independent correctness and hang fixes: test timeouts, engine shutdown deadlines, compiler ICE/miscompile patches, safer diagnostic highlighting, and formatter paren peeling.

Tests no longer hang the run. Each leaf races against a 5-minute deadline (BAML_TEST_TIMEOUT_MS); baml.future.race cancels the loser. CLI shutdown waits 15s (BAML_SHUTDOWN_GRACE_MS) for orphaned spawns, then cancels/force-settles them and warns by spawn origin. PASS/FAIL lines can show per-leaf durations.

Compiler: written lambda annotations now commit into still-unsolved expected function slots (fixes Array.map miscompiles). MIR widens inference error-recovery sentinels to unknown instead of ICEing on unreflect generic calls (effect slots still default wrong). Parser recovery no longer treats field-access as an object constructor; constructor-less objects lower to Missing with a diagnostic.

Diagnostics: highlighting a malformed message fragment returns an error and the human renderer retries the whole diagnostic in pretty no-color, instead of panicking.

Formatter: strips redundant parens around postfix receivers and unary operands (collapsing the staircase), while keeping load-bearing optional-chain parens, mixed-precedence grouping, numeric-literal receivers, and comment-bearing parens.

Also adds a fasttest Cargo profile (thin LTO, unwind, debug asserts).

PR #4489 peeled redundant parens in two contexts: binary left operands and
whole call arguments. A third was left: parens wrapping the *receiver* of a
postfix chain. `PrintChain::new` walks the `.`-spine to flatten a chain, and
`Paren` is not a spine variant, so each paren terminated the walk and became a
fresh `first` — one indent level per paren, the same staircase #4489 fixed for
binary chains:

    assert.is_true(
        (pet_name == `Bella`)
            && !(
                (
                    (
                        (sections).map((item) -> { item.to_string() })
                    )
                        .join(` `)
                )
                    .includes(`Warning`)
            ),
    )

now prints as a single flat chain. `UnaryExpr`'s operand had the same problem.

Adds two predicates next to the existing `peel_transparent_parens`:

- `binds_as_postfix_operand` — may this expression sit in a receiver or unary
  operand position bare? Numeric and keyword literals are excluded (the `.` in
  `(1).to_string()` re-lexes as a float), object/map literals (a leading `{`
  reads as a block), and `GenericApply` (`<` reads as a comparison).
- `effective_postfix_operand` — peels transparent parens down to the last one
  the position still needs, so a looser-binding receiver keeps exactly one
  rather than the whole stack: `((a + b)).f()` -> `(a + b).f()`.

Applied at every receiver site (`Call`/`Index`/`FieldAccess` and the three
`Optional*` forms) in both the print and `single_line_width` paths, so fit
decisions stay in sync with what is printed.

Deliberately kept:

- Parens that terminate an optional chain. These are load-bearing, not
  decoration: they end the short-circuit region, so `(a?.b).c` evaluates
  `(null).c` — a TypeError — where `a?.b.c` short-circuits to null. An earlier
  revision of this patch stripped them and was caught by the `null_handling`
  corpus snapshot, which documents exactly this. `has_optional_chain_link`
  walks the spine and refuses to peel; a `?.` off the spine (`f(a?.b).c`) is a
  separate chain and does not pin the parens.
- Everything #4489 kept: mixed-precedence clarity parens, right operands, and
  any paren carrying a comment (the `is_transparent` check).

Blast radius over the 587 `.baml` files in this repo and one large downstream
corpus, old formatter vs new: 24 files change, -1675 lines net. Every change is
paren/comma/layout only with no token added or lost, output is idempotent, and
compiler diagnostics over the downstream corpus are identical modulo line
numbers. Lines consisting solely of an open paren drop from 888 to 13, and all
13 survivors are legitimate (mixed-precedence clarity parens, lambda parameter
lists, `if (…)`, `catch (…)`).

A generic call made in the scope of a `type T = unreflect(expr)` binding is
deferred to a runtime gate rather than solved statically, so inference never
solves its own slots and finalizes them to an error-recovery sentinel
(`erase_infer` turns a still-free var into `Error`). MIR lowering handed that
sentinel straight to runtime lowering, which treats one as a compiler bug and
panics:

    internal error: entered unreachable code: `Error` is not a valid `RuntimeTy`:
    an error-recovery type reached runtime lowering

so well-typed source crashed the compiler rather than compiling.

Widen the sentinel to the top type at the two lowering sites that can see one,
matching the answer the adjacent out-of-scope-type-variable case already gives.
Adds a characterization corpus namespace for the shape that ICEd.

KNOWN GAP, documented on `inferred_ty_to_template`: the top type is right for a
value slot but wrong for an effect one, where the defaulting rule is `never`.
That yields a wrong answer for e.g. `xs.filter(…)` under such a binding rather
than the crash this removes; fixing it needs the callee's declared params at
this site, or effect-position classification for user-written params.

The existing cancellation tests assert the call returns fast, which only proves
the host stopped waiting — an orphaned continuation could still be walking the
function and spending on a call the caller abandoned.

Adds a multi-step arm: `SleepThenMarkMs` marks entry, sleeps long enough to be
aborted mid-flight, then performs a second observable step. The test waits out
the full native sleep after cancelling and asserts the second marker never
appears. Covers both task cancel and asyncio timeout.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

The SDK parity lint is a ratchet: adding a Python-only test raises the
required-gap count and fails CI (4457 -> 4466, 9 newly missing pairs, one per
non-Python environment). The new multi-step cancellation test drives Python
asyncio primitives (`task.cancel`, `asyncio.wait_for`), so each SDK needs its
own cancellation mechanism to express the same assertion rather than a direct
port.

Annotate it with SDK_PARITY_LINT(skip). The directive must be a single-line
standalone comment: `validate_annotation_adjacency` only tolerates blank or
`@decorator` lines between the annotation and the declaration, so comment
continuation lines read as "not immediately before".

Parity now reports improved (gaps 4457 -> 4457, declarations 2068 -> 2073).

`PrintChain::new` is `pub` and its doc comment linked to
`Expression::effective_postfix_operand`, which is `pub(crate)`. rustdoc rejects
a public-to-private intra-doc link under `RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings"`, which is
how CI runs `cargo doc --all --no-deps`:

    error: public documentation for `new` links to private item
    `Expression::effective_postfix_operand`
    = note: `-D rustdoc::private-intra-doc-links` implied by `-D warnings`

Drop the link and keep the prose reference. The other references to the method
come from private items, where the link resolves fine.

Review follow-ups to the postfix-receiver paren stripping:

- `IndexExpr::try_print_single_line` still measured and printed the raw base,
  so `(xs)[0]` kept its parens inline while the multiline path stripped them.
  `OptionalFieldAccessExpr`/`OptionalIndexExpr::single_line_width` had the
  mirror problem: `PrintChain` peeled the parens while the width count kept
  them, over-measuring by two per paren and wrapping earlier than needed. All
  three now use the effective receiver.

- Literals peel as unary operands: the literal restriction exists only to stop
  `(1).to_string()` from re-lexing its `.` into a float, and no `.` follows a
  unary operand, so `-((1))` prints as `-1` and `!((true))` as `!true` via a
  new `effective_unary_operand`. A literal that is itself a postfix receiver
  (`-(1).to_string()`) still keeps its parens.

`inferred_ty_to_template` widened only error-recovery sentinels; a receiver
class argument carrying a type variable absent from `generic_params` would
still reach `lower_tir_template`'s value-mode arm and hit its
`unreachable!("type variable not found in type args")`. Apply the same
widening the inferred-call-argument loop below already does.

Also adds the reviewer-requested corpus regression for the user-generic-class
receiver path (`Holder<Bound>` with a runtime-bound class arg), which lowers
through `inferred_ty_to_template` via `receiver_class_type_args` — a different
site from the array-receiver ops the first test covers. The runtime gate
rejects a bare `[]` argument literal against runtime-bound `T[]`, so the test
routes the empty array through `EmptyOf<Bound>()`.

`start` was recorded before task creation and marker polling, so
`_assert_fast_cancellation` folded fixture startup into the measured latency
and could flake on a slow or loaded runner. Record it after the entry marker
is observed, immediately before cancelling.

Add a narrow-width optional-receiver regression.

Add a width where o?.length fits but ((o))?.length does not. Assert that the optional access stays on one line.

Two review follow-ups:

- A narrow-width (15-col) formatter regression where `o?.length` fits on one
  line but the un-peeled `((o))?.length` does not. The wide-width tests only
  pin the printed text; this one fails if `single_line_width` reverts to
  counting the raw base, which would wrap the expression.

- The `Holder<Bound>` corpus test now asserts `type.of<T>() == item_t` inside
  a method. The empty-list assertions alone would still pass if `Bound`
  widened to `unknown`; this pins that the receiver's runtime-bound type
  argument actually reaches the method body.

…mespace

CI's snapshot job caught two stale snapshots for
ns_runtime_type_binding_generic_calls that targeted local runs had missed:

- `s15_sweep_baml_src`: the type-spec sweep now records one hir_ty
  error-channel entry for the namespace — `EmptyOf<Bound>()` noted as
  "expected Bound[], got Bound[]" (two distinct runtime-bound identities), the
  same unsolved-slot behavior the test's comments document. My verification
  runs had filtered with `-- baml_test`, which skips the sweep test entirely.

- the namespace `bytecode.snap`: corpus bytecode emission differs under
  `--all-features`, which CI always passes and the targeted regen runs did
  not, so the committed snapshot matched the wrong feature set.

Verified with the exact CI invocation (all three packages, --all-features,
--unreferenced=reject): no snapshots to review; the only failures are the
three pre-existing generate_go e2e tests.

Every test body now races a deadline inside the stdlib runner
(testing/registry.baml run_test): a hung test — stalled network read,
deadlocked await — becomes a FAIL with "test timed out after Nms" instead
of hanging the whole run. baml.future.race cancels the loser on settle
(BEP-034), so a timed-out body is actively cancelled and a finished test's
timer doesn't linger. Default 300000ms; override with BAML_TEST_TIMEOUT_MS.

Verified: a 60s-sleep test fails at a 2s override while the suite exits
promptly; full offline corpus unaffected.

Cherry-picked from #3959, which found the end-of-run wedge: a spawned child
awaiting a future that settles to `InternalError` leaked its own future as
`Pending` forever, parking every transitive awaiter and wedging
`wait_for_outstanding_child_futures` at end of run ("Waiting for N remaining
BAML futures to finish" repeating forever). Canary has since landed the fix
itself (`FutureManager::settle_spawn_engine_error`) but without these
regression tests.

- `spawned_awaiter_of_internal_error_future_does_not_wedge`: passes (~2.5s;
  wedges ~11s without the engine fix).
- `spawn_in_map_closure_with_erroring_child_does_not_wedge`: carried over
  verbatim; currently FAILS to compile on canary — the shape regressed since
  the PR's July 9 base. `Future<string, null>` is now rejected (effect
  inference threads `baml.errors.Io | callback` through the closure, and
  `callback` is not nameable in user source while futures are invariant, so
  no annotation can satisfy the checker), and the un-annotated form ICEs
  runtime lowering (`Error` is not a valid `RuntimeTy`). Kept failing rather
  than deleted while the regression is bisected.

…ap shape

The verbatim #3959 spawn-in-map test cannot compile on canary: `[1,2,3]
.map(closure-returning-spawn)` regressed in a0f4605 ("hir_ty:
rust-analyzer-style type inference foundations", #4301) — bisected over the
376-commit window with an automated probe. The shape now mis-dispatches
(`VM internal error: expected map, got array` at top level; an
`Error`-reaches-`RuntimeTy` ICE under a spawn), and no annotation can
satisfy the stricter effect inference (`callback` is unnameable in user
source; futures are invariant in the error parameter).

Rewritten with the same engine topology — children spawned inside a closure
capturing the linked CancelToken, joined by `baml.future.all`, one child
dying of an uncatchable bridge fault while its siblings are parked — with
the children produced by explicit closure calls instead of `.map`, and the
typed effects caught inside the spawn bodies. Both wedge tests pass (~3s);
the #4301 regression carries its own minimal repros for a separate fix.

Three small CI failures on the current head:

- clippy `-D warnings` (pre-commit): the `MessageHighlighter` cache's
  `Result`-bearing map tripped `type_complexity`; factored a `CachedHighlight`
  alias.
- cargo doc `-D warnings`: `current_function_name` (pub) linked the private
  `capture_stack_trace` in its doc comment; de-linked (rustdoc's
  private-intra-doc-links).
- `test_iterator_stdlib_iterator_errors`: expectation update for the closure
  signature-deduction fix — the `.map` lambda's annotation now unifies at the
  call site, so the Item mismatch correctly reports at the function-return
  boundary (whole-function span) instead of mid-call. Same errors, same
  messages, better anchor; regenerated with UPDATE_EXPECT=1 and it is the
  only expectation in the suite that moved (465/465 pass).

…ion (BoundaryML#4680)

Disable the IX CI workflows. They've been hanging since Friday 10am PT,
presumably because of capacity exhaustion, and are now just noise for
both humans and agents.

## Direct answers

1. **Last actual Rust workload to acquire ix compute:** [run 33196059386
/ Browser Tests job
98933519350](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/33196059386/job/98933519350),
for [PR BoundaryML#4623](BoundaryML#4623), acquired
runner `baml-run-a9c278e0-mtd7weak000d` (`ix`, `ix-web`) at **2026-08-28
17:44:53 UTC / 10:44:53 PDT**. It began the substantive Rust-backed WASM
build at **18:02:18 UTC / 11:02:18 PDT**, logged `Finished release
profile [optimized] target(s) in 42.85s`, ran the browser test, logged
`1 passed`, and completed successfully at **18:03:43 UTC / 11:03:43
PDT**. API queue time was 3 seconds and execution time was 18m50s. The
workflow event was `pull_request`, branch
`codex/function-spec-streaming-redesign`, run head SHA
`02fe831222f70c947ef7c31fabb9ea7f4179a2fb`, and checked-out PR merge SHA
`e655eb0c306a12f4db7eab89c6cdd39bf29c93ab`.
2. **Last actual Rust ix success:** the same Browser Tests job above.
Its sibling [Unit Tests job
98933519425](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/33196059386/job/98933519425)
also built the Rust/WASM package and passed four test files, finishing
earlier at **2026-08-28 17:56:25 UTC / 10:56:25 PDT**. The overall
workflow was later cancelled by a newer run for the same PR, so this is
an individual job success, not a green suite.

For core Rust lanes, the latest job to acquire a runner was [Cargo Tests
(musl) job
98895925475](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/33185050617/job/98895925475),
assigned at **2026-08-28 17:25:02 UTC / 10:25:02 PDT**; it executed Rust
compilation and then hit its 45-minute job timeout. The last successful
core Cargo test was [GNU job
98666282239](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/33114663818/job/98666282239),
completed **2026-08-28 17:38:05 UTC / 10:38:05 PDT** after waiting
20h32m52s for a runner and executing for 21m40s. The last Size Gate
success was [Linux job
98666282151](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/33114663818/job/98666282151),
completed **2026-08-28 17:38:35 UTC / 10:38:35 PDT**. The last WASM Pack
success was [job
97573349611](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/32771417449/job/97573349611),
completed **2026-08-24 20:05:02 UTC / 13:05:02 PDT**.

The most recently triggered run in which the intended ix suite was
genuinely green was [run
32339726862](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/32339726862)
for [PR BoundaryML#4541](BoundaryML#4541): all 19 ix
jobs acquired runners and succeeded, completing **2026-08-20 10:58:14
UTC / 03:58:14 PDT**. An earlier-triggered [canary run
32335256169](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/32335256169)
finished later in wall-clock time at **11:12:57 UTC / 04:12:57 PDT**,
with all 22 ix jobs successful. These were the only two genuinely
all-ix-green attempts in the retained history.

## Method and definition

The investigation paginated the complete retained history for
`.github/workflows/ix-ci.yml`: 574 workflow runs, run numbers 1-582, and
597 attempts including 23 reruns. Run numbers 15, 19, 20, 23, 34, and
100-102 were unavailable; because the workflow was introduced on August
18, this is not an age-based retention boundary, but the API does not
reveal why those records are absent. Every retained attempt's jobs,
steps, timestamps, conclusions, runner name/group/labels, annotations,
and available logs were inspected. The current workflow and its four
reusable workflows were compared with the relevant historical SHAs.

An **actual Rust CI workload** means an ix-labelled Cargo Tests, Size
Gate, WASM Pack Tests, Webview test, SDK test, or other Rust/build job
that had a non-empty runner name, began runner-side steps, and executed
substantive Cargo, Rust compilation, build, or test commands. `Determine
changes` alone, skipped job placeholders, and jobs that GitHub created
but never assigned to a runner do not count. This distinction matters
because queued self-hosted jobs can have an API `started_at` equal to
`created_at`; runner identity plus step/log evidence was required.

## Retained-history findings

| Population | Result |
| --- | ---: |
| Attempts with no ix job | 190 |
| Successful no-Rust/path-gated attempts | 122 |
| Attempts that scheduled ix Rust work | 407 |
| Completed scheduled attempts where no ix job acquired a runner | 193 |
| Attempts where at least one ix job acquired a runner | 190 |
| Genuine all-ix-success attempts | 2 |
| ix jobs | 8,084 |
| ix jobs assigned to runners | 1,956 |
| ix jobs never assigned | 6,128 |
| Unassigned jobs that waited exactly 24 hours | 1,327 |

In the bounded recent window from **2026-08-28 00:15:10 UTC through
2026-09-01 16:31:06 UTC**, 244 attempts comprised 107 path-gated/no-ix
attempts and 137 Rust-scheduled attempts. Of the scheduled attempts, 130
acquired no ix runner at all: 25 completed after the exact 24-hour
runner wait, 81 were cancelled or superseded by concurrency, and 24
remained active/queued at the snapshot. The 137 attempts created 2,737
ix jobs; 414 were still queued at the snapshot and 585 unassigned jobs
in the window reached the exact 24-hour limit. Only 19 jobs, across
seven attempts, acquired ix runners: nine succeeded individually, six
failed after losing runner communication, and four hit execution
timeouts. There were zero substantive test/build failures and zero
genuinely green suite attempts in this window. Attempt-level categories
overlap for partially assigned runs.

Representative exact evidence:

- Capacity wait: [job
99509638608](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/33315026965/job/99509638608)
— `The job has exceeded the maximum execution time while awaiting a
runner for 24h0m0s`.
- Concurrency cancellation: [job
99445259056](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/33378434574/job/99445259056)
— `Canceling since a higher priority waiting request for
ix-preview-4557/merge-4557 exists`.
- Execution timeout: [musl job
98895925475](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/33185050617/job/98895925475)
— `The job has exceeded the maximum execution time of 45m0s`.
- Runner infrastructure failure: [job
98722431364](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/33131662840/job/98722431364)
— `The self-hosted runner lost communication with the server...`. All
six recently assigned jobs whose conclusion was `failure` had this
annotation.
- A genuine test failure did occur outside the bounded recent window:
[C# SDK job
98346987769](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/33019731200/job/98346987769),
in `Run C# sdk tests`.

## Root cause and onset

The directly proven mechanism is that no eligible communicating ix
runner became available after **2026-08-28 17:44:53 UTC**. Hundreds of
jobs reached GitHub's exact 24-hour self-hosted-runner acquisition
limit; the final assigned jobs also included six
runner-lost-communication failures. GitHub-hosted `Determine changes`
jobs continued to run, the same compound labels (`ix` plus family
labels) had matched successfully before the cutoff, and a job's
`timeout-minutes` starts after assignment, so workflow execution timeout
does not explain the queue. Concurrency explains many superseded runs,
but not the canary jobs that waited exactly 24 hours.

The best-supported inference is that the ix control plane stopped
supplying healthy matching runners at sufficient capacity, degrading
from long queues to complete admission/provisioning failure. Repository
evidence cannot distinguish ordinary provider VM/region capacity
exhaustion from an ix GitHub App admission/provisioning outage or all
matching organization runners being offline. The repository runners
endpoint showed zero because these runners are organization-scoped,
while the organization runner endpoint requires administration access
and returned 403. There was no provider-side admission error in
never-assigned job logs. Missing runner labels are unlikely because all
label families matched previously; organization concurrency quota is
also unlikely as the GitHub-hosted jobs continued while only ix-labelled
jobs stalled, but neither can be excluded without organization/ix
administrative telemetry.

Degradation was visible before the cutoff: the first assignment queue
over one hour appeared on August 20; [job
96621761615](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/32430755739/job/96621761615)
was the first over 12 hours, waiting 16h51m9s before assignment on
August 21; August 25 assignments waited 12-15 hours; August 26-27
commonly waited 18-24 hours. The final August 28 batch had 29
assignments in the 17:00 UTC hour with a median queue of 16h52m25s,
although a few fresh web jobs acquired runners immediately. There were
no assignments afterward.

The workflow was introduced on August 19 with `runs-on: [ix, family]`.
Provisioning moved from a repository reconciliation workflow to the ix
GitHub App on August 21; shared R2 cache credentials followed on August
24. Runners continued to work for a week after the App switch, so it
correlates with the degraded period but is not an immediate causal
boundary. The Size Gate, WASM Pack, and Webview reusable workflows were
byte-identical between the last green SHA and the latest actual-run SHA;
Cargo changes affected package selection, not runner routing. No
workflow change coincides with the final cutoff. The current production
pool configuration is external to the repository. An abandoned pre-merge
prototype showed 32 one-slot members with nine warm members across the
runner families, but it is not authoritative evidence for the
App-managed pool.

The top-level concurrency key includes the PR number or SHA. New commits
cancel old runs for the same PR, which explains many cancellations. On
`canary`, including the SHA means each push has a unique group, so old
19-22-job waves accumulate rather than supersede one another. Nested
reusable-workflow concurrency keys independently cancel some
WASM/Webview jobs, producing partial attempts.

## Follow-up recommendations

1. Restore and instrument the control plane before re-enabling automatic
triggers: inspect ix App/webhook/admission logs, per-family runner
registrations, cloud VM/region quotas, provisioning failures, and
runner-loss telemetry.
2. Size the pool for at least one complete canary/code wave: SDK 9, GNU
4, WASM 3, Web 3, musl 1, MSRV 1, and light 1, or 22 concurrent slots.
Two overlapping waves require roughly 44 slots unless workflow fan-out
is reduced.
3. Make canary concurrency branch-stable if only the newest canary
result matters, and consolidate nested reusable concurrency so
cancellation happens once at the suite boundary.
4. Alert on runner queue age at 5-10 minutes, well before GitHub's
24-hour limit, and expose oldest queue age, online/busy runners by label
family, admissions, provisioning errors, and runner-loss counts.
5. Add a hosted final summary that reports path-gate outputs, expected
ix job count, and a clear classification such as no Rust scheduled,
waiting for runner, execution timeout, runner lost, test/build failed,
or passed.
6. Make path-gated successes explicitly say `No ix workload scheduled`
so they cannot be confused with Rust CI success.
7. Consider a health-gated fallback to the existing Blacksmith lanes for
trusted same-repository events, with a guard that prevents duplicate
execution after an ix job starts and preserves the current fork-security
boundary.
8. Fail or skip the non-gating preview early when the pool is unhealthy
instead of leaving ambiguous 24-hour queues.
