fix(ci): admit GitHub Pages deploy despite legitimately-skipped upstream jobs (#522) - #523
Conversation
…eam jobs (#522) deploy's if: condition lacked a status-check function, so GitHub Actions' default implicit success() gate silently skipped the job whenever any upstream job in the graph was legitimately skipped (pr-size on every non-pull_request event, rust-tauri/core-rust on any push that doesn't touch their paths) — even though ci-success itself correctly computed 'success' via its own always()-gated tolerance logic for exactly those three jobs. Traced via real run history: #427 (2026-08-20) switched deploy's needs from [build, e2e] to [ci-success], introducing the dependency; #428 was the first reproducible skip immediately after (Rust gates skipped); #509 (2026-08-26, PR-size governance) made it apply to every main push once pr-size joined ci-success's tolerated-skip set. GitHub Pages has been serving a stale build since, correlating exactly with whether the specific run's Rust-gate path happened to be relevant. Adds always() + !cancelled() to deploy's if:, matching the identical proven pattern already used in tauri-build.yml's bundle job — forces GitHub to evaluate the job's own explicit condition (main, non-PR, ci-success.result == 'success') instead of deriving admission from the presence of any skipped job anywhere in the chain, while still refusing to publish from a genuinely cancelled workflow run. New regression test asserts deploy's needs/if: structure directly against the exact main-push scenario (pr-size/rust-tauri/core-rust skipped, ci-success success) that was silently broken. Note: PR CI cannot itself prove this — deploy never runs on a pull_request event by design. Acceptance evidence is a genuine post-merge main-push run showing real Deploy to GitHub Pages steps, not conclusion: skipped.

The fix correctly addresses issue #522 by preventing GitHub Actions' default skip propagation from silently skipping the deploy job when upstream jobs like pr-size, rust-tauri, or core-rust are legitimately skipped. The always() && !cancelled() pattern matches the proven approach already used in tauri-build.yml and ensures deploy runs when ci-success reports success, regardless of which optional gates were skipped. The new regression test in workflowPolicy.test.ts validates all five conditions of the deploy gate, providing strong protection against future regressions.

Address CodeAnt AI + CodeRabbit review of #523: the test asserted against extractJobBlock(workflowSource, 'deploy') — the whole raw job block — which also contains the QNBS-v3 comment directly above if:, itself mentioning "always()" and "!cancelled()". A regression that strips either function from the real, executable if: line (while leaving the comment untouched) would have kept passing. Add extractJobIf(jobBlock) to the shared workflow-policy parser utilities — handles both inline (if: <expr>) and folded block-scalar (if: >-\n ...) forms already used across ci.yml/tauri-build.yml — and scope the deploy test's assertions to its return value instead of the whole block. Verified the fix actually closes the gap: reverting the assertions to extractJobBlock and manually stripping always() from the real if: line (comment left intact) left the old test passing; with extractJobIf, the same edit correctly fails it.

Summary
Fixes#522 — the GitHub Pages deploy job has been silently skipping on main pushes.
Root cause:
deploy'sif:condition (github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' && github.event_name != 'pull_request' && needs.ci-success.result == 'success') has no status-check function, so GitHub Actions applies its default implicitsuccess()gate — which is affected by any legitimately-skipped job in the dependency graph, not justdeploy's direct need (ci-success). Three jobs are intentionally skip-tolerated byci-success's own logic:pr-size(skipped on every non-pull_requestevent, by design — it's PR-only governance), andrust-tauri/core-rust(skipped when their paths aren't touched).ci-successitself correctly computessuccessin these cases (it has its ownif: always()plus explicit per-job tolerance), butdeploy's bareif:inherits GHA's default skip-propagation regardless.Verified via real run history, not just the reported symptom:
deploy: needs: [ci-success](previously[build, e2e]) — its own merge run happened to touch Rust paths, so Rust gates ran and deploy succeeded, hiding the bug.pr-sizejoinedci-success's tolerated-skip set —pr-sizeis unconditionally skipped offpull_requestevents.Deploy to GitHub Pagesshowsconclusion: skippedwith zero steps, not a failure.Fix:
always() && !cancelled() && <existing explicit conditions>— matches the identical proven pattern already used intauri-build.yml'sbundlejob for the same class of problem. Forces GitHub to evaluatedeploy's own explicit condition (main, non-PR,ci-success.result == 'success') instead of deriving admission from whether any upstream job was skipped, while!cancelled()still refuses to publish from a genuinely cancelled workflow run.Test plan
tests/unit/workflowPolicy.test.tsassertsdeploy'sneeds/if:structure directly against the broken scenario (pr-size/rust-tauri/core-rustskipped,ci-successsuccess → deploy must still be admitted).pnpm run workflow-policy:check— structural YAML validator passes.if: >-block scalar resolves to the intended${{ always() && !cancelled() && ... }}expression (no!-as-tag-indicator ambiguity).pnpm run typecheck:single— clean.pnpm run ci:prepush—MIXEDclassification, all local checks pass.Note on what this PR can't prove:
deploynever runs on apull_requestevent by design (github.event_name != 'pull_request'is one of its own conditions), so this PR's own CI cannot exercise the actual fix. The real acceptance evidence is a genuine post-merge main-push run showing realDeploy to GitHub Pagessteps (Set up job/Deploy to GitHub Pages/Complete job), notconclusion: skipped— will verify that directly after merge before considering #522 closed.Summary by Sourcery
