Follow-up to rt#525 (RT-331): the watch-ci engines stop shelling out for the CI attendant lease and the pipeline watch, and use rt's new MCP tools instead.

What changed

Engines (attachments/pipeline/watch-ci/, attachments/pipeline/stage-watch-ci/)

  • Lease through ci_lease_claim, ci_lease_heartbeat and ci_lease_release; the owner is the session, so another watch-ci session is refused like the doctor
  • GitLab watch through ci_watch, keyed on the pushed sha, re-called while running or waiting (Watch calls = 9, 45 minutes)
  • GitHub keeps the gh pr checks poll, now heartbeating with ci_lease_heartbeat and guarded on headRefOid
  • The domain slot supplies triage only; ci-triage.sh --pipeline <N> takes the number from gitlab:pipeline:N
  • Off-script gates for a refused ci_watch and for every claim and re-claim, each with its own rounds counter; budgets on the ci and mark-ready gate iterations
  • Both graphs redrawn to pass check-dot --strict (they failed it on main)
  • ci-attendant.sh, ci-watch.sh, their tests and watcher fixtures deleted; ci-triage.sh stays

Also

  • ship: the watch-ci hand-off names ci_watch's priorPipelineId
  • attachments/mcp-tools/reference.md regenerated; purity mcp-lint pins m4ttstack/mattstack at a2ea64e0
  • plugin/tests/test-resolve-args.sh identity loop and the work frontmatter drop the retired scripts
  • Plugin 0.27.0; two certification rows

Follow-up

  • The claimview pack needs its watch-ci-domain fill and board-doctor step 4 moved to ci_watch before its next compile; the shepherd applies it

Verification

RED/GREEN, fresh Sonnet agents, describe-only, 3 runs per scenario (standalone fix and push; stage with a refused ci_watch and a shell-rule fill; stage losing the lease to the doctor): lease or watch shell calls in 9/9 RED runs, 0/9 GREEN, and 0/9 again after one prose revision. check-dot --strict, certify.sh on the four touched engine dirs, test-check-dot.sh, test-resolve-args.sh (20/0), test-ci-triage.sh (55/0), repo-purity.sh, and the strict skills check plus the reference cmp at the new pin all pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • CI monitoring now uses direct GitLab and GitHub checks, with commit verification, lease ownership, and clearer handling of failures and retries.
    • Pipeline documentation now explains supported pipeline types, monitoring, and lease behavior.
  • Changes
    • The plugin version is now 0.27.0.
    • The previous bundled CI watcher and attendant scripts are no longer available; monitoring is handled through the updated workflow.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI watch skills now use lease tools and forge-specific polling. Their instructions add SHA checks, bounded retries, triage routes, and lease handling. The vendored watcher and attendant scripts and their associated tests and fixtures are removed.

Changes

Forge-aware CI watch and lease migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lease and pipeline-watch contracts
attachments/mcp-tools/reference.md, attachments/pipeline/ship/SKILL.md
The tool reference documents lease operations and pipeline matching by pushed SHA. The ship instructions pass a prior pipeline ID when applicable and describe merged-results matching.
stage-watch-ci flow and retired scripts
attachments/pipeline/stage-watch-ci/SKILL.md, attachments/pipeline/stage-watch-ci/scripts/*, attachments/pipeline/stage-watch-ci/tests/*
The stage flow uses lease tools, GitLab ci_watch, and GitHub check polling. It adds bounded retries, SHA verification, triage, and exit routes. The vendored watcher and attendant scripts, related tests, and fixtures are removed.
watch-ci flow and release updates
attachments/pipeline/watch-ci/SKILL.md, attachments/pipeline/watch-ci/scripts/*, attachments/pipeline/work/SKILL.md, plugin/tests/test-resolve-args.sh, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .github/workflows/purity.yml, CERTIFICATION.md
The watch-ci flow uses lease tools and forge-specific polling, with SHA checks, triage, bounded retries, and exit handling. The vendored watcher and attendant scripts are removed. Related tool allowlists, checks, certification records, plugin version, and workflow checkout pin are updated.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 351b2

With more than five blocking failures, a CI retry may proceed before every failure is classified. Confirm that both flows handle incomplete results before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 351b2

The new flows check the watched commit and stop when another attendant owns the lease. The underlying authorization and recovery behavior is not visible here, so the residual design risk is low rather than negligible.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The immediate authority concerns an identified MR or PR and its CI: the flows can retry jobs, push a fix, or mark an MR ready after a qualifying verdict. The available evidence does not establish broader tenant, credential, or service-level reach.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — A named competing lease holder stops the flow; holderless lease loss permits at most two re-claims. GitLab success is accepted through a SHA-scoped watch, while GitHub checks compare headRefOid with the watched SHA.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Tool refusal does not direct an automatic fallback to the retired GitLab watcher. Documented off-script paths require a human decision, and ordinary exits use ownership-scoped release. Cleanup invocation after abrupt interruption remains unverified.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Pass the claimed MR URL alongside repository/IID to ci_watch, or otherwise verify their equivalence before watch and MR actions, so the documented target-agreement check covers the caller's lease boundary.
