ci: speed up mcpx and id workflows — single-compile mcpx, cached + split id checks - #295
Conversation
The build job compiled the same code twice: direct-toolchain tests (~4.6 min) and then a full nix build (~5.4 min), ~10.6 min total. The PR/push path is now one direct-Go job (setup-go cache made explicit); vendorHash repair keeps working as its own bot-only job, the one step that genuinely needs nix. The flake is still evaluated on every PR by nix-ci. Includes the 30-minute job cap from #294. Refs #286.
id-check ran the full nix flake check on every PR (~116 min avg): the Playwright E2E and NixOS VM checks were most of it. The PR gate now builds the fast checks explicitly (unit + integration tests, lint, format, typecheck, doc, crash gate) behind magic-nix-cache so unchanged derivations are not rebuilt from a cold store. The full flake check — E2E and VM tests included — runs nightly and on demand in the new id-e2e-nightly workflow. Includes the 60-minute job cap from #294. Refs #292, #288.

Keep the PR build checks before omitting default.
The default check does more than repeat this list. In pkgs/id/justfile, ci also runs build and release, which call scripts/build.sh for debug and release web builds. The new PR list omits both commands. A change that breaks the build script can now pass the PR gate and fail only in the nightly full check. Keep those build checks in the PR gate, or add equivalent coverage. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep production builds in the PR check
The assertion that checks.default merely repeats this list is incorrect: pkgs/id/flake.nix:309 maps it to the ci recipe, while pkgs/id/justfile:39 additionally makes ci run build and release. Neither production build is represented in the new array, so a PR that passes type-checking and tests but breaks the web asset, debug, or release build can report success and only be detected by the post-merge nightly workflow. Retain default or add equivalent build derivations.

Preserve Nix validation for human dependency changes
When a human-authored PR changes go.mod or go.sum without updating package.nix's vendorHash, this bot-only condition skips the repository's sole remaining nix build, while the direct Go tests can still pass. The fallback in .github/workflows/nix-ci.yml:52 only evaluates the derivation path; the Nix manuals distinguish evaluation from actually building the installable (nix eval, nix build). Thus a stale hash can merge and leave the Nix package unusable; retain a non-repairing build or hash check for non-bot PRs.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
…297) The direct-Go gate dropped the only CI build of the mcpx Nix package; nix-ci's eval cannot catch a stale vendorHash and the repair job covers bot branches only. New companion workflow mcpx-nixbuild.yml builds .#packages.x86_64-linux.mcpx, but only when go.mod, go.sum or package.nix change — the only PRs that can break vendorHash — so the speed win stands for everything else.

.github/workflows/mcpx.yml:45-59
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winRun the Nix package build for all
mcpxsource changes.
mcpx-nixbuild.ymlexcludes ordinarypkgs/mcpxsource files. Such a change runs onlygo test ./... -count=1; it does not run the former Nix build. The direct test does not exercise the NixCGO_ENABLED=0build or the install-time commands inpackage.nix. A source change can therefore break the Nix package while passing the PR gate, which violates the stated retention of existing checks.Suggested fix

Run report on head 5fd36c3 — everything green except the id gate, which hit its own new cap
What the gate log shows (run 39144616280, 38k lines):
Open question this raises: how much of that 60 minutes collapses once magic-nix-cache is warm (this run's cache was only partially populated by the superseded earlier run). A second consecutive run — e.g. the push-to-main run after merge, or a re-run — would answer it. The alternative is splitting the gate into parallel per-group jobs so wall time tracks the slowest single check instead of the sum. Leaving this PR open for that decision rather than merging around a red gate. |
Expedited restructure of the two slowest workflows in this repo — the jobs themselves, not just caps.
mcpx — 10.6 min → target ≤ ~5 min per PR (closes #286)
Measured baseline: the single
buildjob averaged 10.6 min (max 18.8) — ~0.5 setup, 4.6 min direct-toolchain tests, then 5.4 min ofnix buildrecompiling the same code a second time, from a cold store.Now:
testjob: checkout → setup-go (cache now explicit, so module + build caches are restored) → Deno/Bun/Node → the unchangedgo teststep. No nix installer, no nix build.vendorhash-repairbecomes its own job, gated at job level to renovate/dependabot PRs — the one place that genuinely needs nix, unchanged in behavior.id — ~116 min avg PR gate → target: minutes (#292, refs #288)
Baseline: last 4 completed runs of the old full
nix flake checkgate averaged 116 min (max 137) per PR.Now:
id-check.ymlbuilds the fast checks explicitly — unit + integration tests, lint, format, typecheck, doc, crash gate (21 checks) — instead of the whole flake. Verified locally that./pkgs/id#checks.x86_64-linux.<name>resolves for the listed checks.test-e2e(Playwright),nixos-serve,nixos-e2e,nixos-integration,nixos-playwright-e2e— move to the new id-e2e-nightly.yml (schedule + workflow_dispatch), which runs the fullnix flake checkas a safety net.Relationship to #294 (timeout caps)
This PR includes the same caps for these files (mcpx 30 min, id 60 min) and supersedes #294 for them; #294 can be closed once this lands. The remaining workflows stay with #293.
Note: this PR is path-filtered to workflow + flake files for mcpx, so it exercises the new mcpx job; the new id gate's first full exercise is the next pkgs/id PR.
Update — package-build coverage restored for dependency changes (#297)
Review finding #297 was correct: dropping the
Nix buildstep removed the only CI build of the mcpx Nix package. nix-ci's eval cannot catch a stalevendorHash(it is just a string until the go-modules derivation builds), and vendorhash-repair covers bot branches only — a human PR changinggo.mod/go.sumcould have merged green with a broken package.Fixed inside this PR: the new companion workflow mcpx-nixbuild.yml builds
.#packages.x86_64-linux.mcpx, triggered only whenpkgs/mcpx/go.mod,pkgs/mcpx/go.sum, orpkgs/mcpx/package.nixchange (plus itself, so this PR exercises it). Those are the only PRs that can break vendorHash, so the speed win stands for everything else — most PRs never trigger it. This PR's final commit touches that workflow file, so the check runs here and its result is visible in this PR's checks. Closes #297.Summary by CodeRabbit
