Summary

  • Scanned .github/workflows for GitHub-hosted ubuntu-latest per CoS policy.
  • Replaced every runs-on: ubuntu-latest with runs-on: [self-hosted, Linux, X64, opencodex], matching the label tuple used in deploy.yml and the opencodex label declared in .github/actionlint.yaml.
  • Updated CI matrix and npm-global smoke so Linux runs on the self-hosted runner while keeping the cross-platform job name ubuntu-latest for existing release/container CI gates.
  • Renamed npm-global Linux job to npm-global opencodex and aligned jq gate lists in release.yml and container.yml.

macos-latest and windows-latest jobs are unchanged (policy targets ubuntu-latest only).

Verification

  • bun run typecheck
  • bun test tests/ci-workflows.test.ts tests/container-image.test.ts

Linear

  • Issue: N/A (policy sweep)

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • CI/CD

    • Updated automated testing, security checks, documentation deployment, publishing, release, and maintenance workflows to run on a self-hosted Linux runner.
    • Updated cross-platform and release checks to recognize the new runner configuration.
  • Tests

    • Updated workflow validation tests to verify self-hosted runner usage and corresponding job names.

Replace GitHub-hosted ubuntu-latest with [self-hosted, Linux, X64, opencodex]
across workflows, matching deploy.yml label tuple and actionlint.yaml.
Update CI matrix/npm-global smoke and release/container CI gate job names.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request moves GitHub Actions jobs from ubuntu-latest to the self-hosted opencodex runner. It updates CI matrices, release gates, container workflows, and tests to match the new runner labels and job names.

Changes

Self-hosted runner migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
CI matrix updates
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The test and npm global smoke matrices use the self-hosted opencodex runner for default Linux execution. macOS and Windows entries remain available for workflow dispatches and version tags. The security and GitHub Actions lint jobs also use opencodex.
Workflow runner assignments
.github/workflows/container.yml, .github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml, .github/workflows/design-system-contract.yml, .github/workflows/enforce-*.yml, .github/workflows/issue-*.yml, .github/workflows/pr-labeler.yml, .github/workflows/publish-on-tag.yml, .github/workflows/react-doctor.yml, .github/workflows/security-audit.yml, .github/workflows/service-lifecycle.yml, .github/workflows/stale-needs-info.yml
The affected jobs now use [self-hosted, Linux, X64, opencodex]. Existing workflow steps, conditions, permissions, and triggers remain unchanged unless noted elsewhere.
Release gates and test expectations
.github/workflows/release.yml, tests/ci-workflows.test.ts, tests/container-image.test.ts
Release and container gates now require npm-global opencodex. Tests now assert the self-hosted runner labels and no longer reject self-hosted runner references. One test description and YAML formatting changed without behavioral impact.

Bug: The workflow can leave a service running on port 10199 if cancelled. Concurrent runs for different branches can also conflict over this port, causing subsequent workflow runs to fail.
Severity: HIGH

Suggested Fix

Modify the workflow to ensure the service is always uninstalled, even on cancellation, by changing the condition to if: ${{ always() }}. Additionally, make the service install command more robust by adding a pre-check for port availability or ensuring it can gracefully handle pre-existing service instances.

Review the code at the location below. A potential bug has been identified by an AI
agent. Verify if this is a real issue. If it is, propose a fix; if not, explain why it's
not valid.

Location: .github/workflows/service-lifecycle.yml#L35-L41

Potential issue: The `service-lifecycle.yml` workflow installs a service on port 10199.
Two race conditions can cause failures. First, if a workflow run is cancelled (e.g., by
a new push to the same PR), the cleanup step is skipped due to the `if: ${{ !cancelled()
}}` condition. This leaves the service running and the port bound. The next run for that
PR will fail with a port conflict. Second, concurrent workflow runs for different
branches on the same self-hosted runner will conflict, as the second run will fail when
it tries to bind the already-occupied port 10199. The `service install` command is not
idempotent and lacks a pre-check for port availability.

Run pull-request validation on an isolated runner. The pull_request trigger reaches test in .github/workflows/ci.yml:4-5,51-70. That job checks out the pull request and runs dependency installation, builds, tests, and CLI code on ["self-hosted","Linux","X64","opencodex"]. The npm-global-smoke, security, and lint-github-actions jobs also use this self-hosted label for pull requests. No repository policy establishes ephemeral runners, workspace cleanup, or approval as a containment boundary. GitHub approval is explicitly advisory in MAINTAINERS.md.

Contributor code can spawn processes, alter runner files, or poison caches that remain available to later jobs on the same host. Those processes may also read credentials exposed by a later job scheduled on that host. Move all pull-request jobs to a GitHub-hosted or ephemeral isolated runner, and retain the opencodex runner only for trusted events. Service teardown does not fix this runner trust boundary.

Make service cleanup cancellation-safe on persistent runners. The workflow enables cancel-in-progress at .github/workflows/service-lifecycle.yml:32-34, but cancellation skips the uninstall step at lines 137-140 because it uses if: ${{ !cancelled() }}. If the opencodex runner is reused, the systemd unit or port 10199 can remain active for the next job. Run teardown with if: ${{ always() }} and ensure it stops and removes the service during cancellation.

Infra blocker (self-hosted opencodex runner)

PR is ready for review. Merge is blocked until self-hosted CI goes green.

After retargeting, all former ubuntu-latest jobs use runs-on: [self-hosted, Linux, X64, deploy]opencodex (not deploy). As of 2026-09-19 ~02:33 UTC, Cross-platform CI and sibling workflows show 12+ jobs still queued with empty runner_name and 0s runtime (e.g. Cross-platform CI run, jobs ubuntu-latest, npm-global opencodex, Security audit, Lint GitHub Actions).

That pattern usually means no online runner matches label opencodex (or the fleet has no idle capacity).

Ask for Infra

  1. Register or bring online at least one self-hosted runner with labels: self-hosted, Linux, X64, opencodex (same tuple pattern as the existing deploy runner in deploy.yml).
  2. Confirm the runner is Idle under org/repo Actions → Runners.
  3. Re-run queued workflow jobs on this PR once the runner is up; merge when checks pass.

No DNS changes required for this PR.

Correction to the infra note above: jobs use runs-on: [self-hosted, Linux, X64, opencodex] (the deploy label is only for deploy.yml; this PR needs the opencodex label on a live runner).

The raven-actions/actionlint composite exits 127 on the opencodex
runner (missing runtime dependency). Download actionlint 1.7.8 instead.
