feat(ci): make pr-preflight name every required status check (#15933) - #15960
Conversation
The preflight header claimed to "run every gate that CI runs" and ran none of the ten contexts the Main ruleset actually requires. #15932 measured why that costs: ~6 commits per PR, 49 failed check-runs across 9 merged PRs, and an 8.9-minute suite paid for each one. Adds a required-status-check section that names all ten. Six script-based gates run by default in seconds; api-wiring and startup-import-smoke run under --full because they import the backend; the remaining four are reported unavailable with their exact remediation rather than approximated. Each gate invokes the same script its workflow invokes, so a local green cannot drift from CI the way #13521 and #13573 did. Two of the four are honest gaps, not design: verify-generated-types and Unit & Integration Tests each need an npm ci before their gate means anything, and a preflight that installs packages is one people stop running. Wiring them is the remaining half of #15933, which is why this does not close it. migration-matrix needs a live PostgreSQL, so the issue's claim that nine of ten were locally reproducible was one too many; the honest count is eight plus one conditional on AUTOBOT_MIGRATION_TEST_ADMIN_URL. The test reads the required list from branch protection, so an eleventh context fails the test rather than quietly widening the gap, and asserts every script path resolves -- five of six paths taken from workflow YAML were wrong, because an unanchored scripts/ regex matched inside pipeline-scripts/ and both exist.

Review — the translation is sound; the verdict is the thing that overstatesTaking the three in the order they were offered, then the finding. 1 — the glob translation: one arm is wrong, and it is latentI reimplemented the translation, read all 25 entries rather than a truncated view, and tested both directions:
The It is latent, not live. Every Still worth the one-line fix, The other two arms are right, and the last two rows above are the check that matters: 2 — the PyYAML path: honest per line, overstated in aggregateI cannot verify the degraded branch by removing PyYAML, but the branch is not where the problem is.
if [ "$FAILED" -eq 0 ]; then
printf 'pre-flight clean -- safe to commit and push\n'
exit 0The script says "clean" and "safe to commit and push" with three gates unrun. Per line the degradation is honest — it names what it skipped. In aggregate it is not, because the verdict has no field for skips: it is computed from That is the same class as both defects this PR fixes.

fi"Safe to push" is a recommendation rather than a report, which is why the missing field matters more here than in a summary that only counts. 3 — the disputed number is not settled, and I will not read it as settledAt the time of writing: 25 pending, 1 pass, 1 skipping, 0 failing. That is not evidence for your 10-are-environmental reading. Zero failures among mostly-pending checks is the error I made earlier tonight on #15880 — I reported "no reds" from a rollup that had not finished, and the reds arrived later from the same run. a0 was right to decline confirming a number it had not measured, and the same restraint applies to me reading this rollup. Worth re-checking against a completed run before anyone treats the 10 as environmental. Deriving the path set from And a0's generalisation on the CWE-377 neighbour is the sharpest form of it I have seen: a finding's frame is itself a query, and fixing exactly what was reported answers it exactly as narrowly as it was asked. |

What Changed
scripts/pr-preflight.shclaimed in its own header to "run every gate that CI runs" and ran none of the ten contexts theMainruleset actually requires onDev_new_gui. This adds a required-status-check section that names all ten, and a test that fails if any of them stops being named.verify-precommit-configpipeline-scripts/check_gating_precommit_hooks.py,check_precommit_hooks_executed.pycode-qualitycheck_env_var_registry.py,check_nosec_format.py,check-doc-references.py, plus the existing lint sectionpipeline-scripts/check_workflow_path_filters.pyapi-wiring--full— imports the backendstartup-import-smoke--full— imports the backendverify-generated-typesUnit & Integration Testsmigration-matrixAUTOBOT_MIGRATION_TEST_ADMIN_URLis setsmoke-testNo open blocks-merge issues…No commit trailersEach gate invokes the same script its workflow invokes. That constraint is the point: a local re-implementation drifts from CI silently, which is what #13521 and #13573 both were.
Thinking Path
#15932 measured the cost this removes: ~6 commits per PR, 49 failed check-runs across 9 merged PRs — every PR goes red at least once on the way — and an 8.9-minute suite paid for each push. Inter-commit gaps cluster in a 3–15 minute band bracketing that suite: push, wait for a verdict, push again.
The design question was what a check here is allowed to be. A gate that runs a weaker version of its CI counterpart is worse than no gate, because it reads as coverage. So every check either invokes the workflow's own script or is reported unavailable with its exact remediation — nothing is approximated. That is also why the four unavailable contexts are named rather than omitted: silence is the failure mode, not a wrong verdict.
Two things were wrong in the issue and are corrected rather than worked around. It claimed nine of ten contexts were locally reproducible;
migration-matrixneeds a live PostgreSQL, so the honest count is eight plus one conditional. And the saving depends on the suite being run locally instead of pushed — merged code cannot enforce that, so #15933 should close on the iteration-phase measurement moving, not on this script existing.Verification

Single-issue rationale
Single-issue rationale: this PR deliberately does not close #15933 — the remaining half needs an
npm ciin a frontend workspace, and no sibling shares its scope. #15933 is the only child of #15932 whose premise survived scrutiny and that touchesscripts/pr-preflight.sh. Of its siblings: #15935 was closed as already-implemented with no code; #15937 turned out to need no code at all and is on hold as an owner decision; #15934 and #15938 are blocked on this issue; #15936 rewrites the PR-metadata policy workflows, which is a different blast radius and would not survive one honest review pass bundled with this.Refs #15933
