Conversation
…ests/pre-commit PR osac-project#418 correctly runs the full Unit Tests and Integration Tests suites on merge_group -- that behavior is unchanged here and stays exactly as osac-project#418 intended. The actual problem is narrower: none of unit-tests.yml, integration-tests.yml, or pre-commit.yaml cancel a stale run when GitHub's merge queue rebases a PR onto a new ephemeral gh-readonly-queue ref, which happens routinely as normal merge-queue behavior. Every rebase spawns a brand-new full run of these 3 workflows for that PR; the previous run for the now-superseded ref keeps consuming a runner until it finishes naturally. Confirmed live: 13 concurrent Unit Tests runs and 10 concurrent Integration Tests runs against only 4 active merge-queue slots (max_entries_to_build: 4, via the rulesets API) -- consistent with a handful of PRs each stacking up multiple stale, uncancelled reruns from repeated rebases. Also confirmed this repo's actual hosted-runner concurrency (~30-40 in use) is nowhere near the plan's 180-job ceiling, so a hard concurrency limit is not the bottleneck -- the queue stalls because cheap, load-bearing jobs (label-gate, auto-queue, Slash Command) get starved behind piles of stale heavy runs, not because of a runner cap. integration-tests.yml already had a concurrency block, but it keyed non-PR events on github.sha (the merge-preview commit), which changes on every rebase -- so the group itself changed every rebase and could never collapse a prior run even with cancel-in-progress true. unit-tests.yml and pre-commit.yaml had no concurrency block at all. Fix: key the concurrency group on something that stays stable across rebases of the same PR. github.ref_name for a merge_group event is GitHub's ephemeral gh-readonly-queue/<base>/pr-<number>-<sha> ref -- the pr-<number> segment is constant across rebases; only the trailing sha changes. Verified this directly against this repo's own run history (gh api repos/osac-project/osac/actions/runs?event=merge_group): PR osac-project#503 was requeued at gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-503-b2986acb...61 and .../pr-503-f05965f9...53 sixteen minutes apart; PR osac-project#307 similarly at .../pr-307-18b1c7ed...58 and .../pr-307-0c86346b...c1 -- both pairs extract to the identical "pr-503"/"pr-307" via `grep -oE 'pr-[0-9]+'` despite the trailing sha differing every time. Workflow-level `concurrency:` blocks are evaluated before any job runs and can't reference a computed value, so this can't be done as a single top-of-file block. Instead, each file computes the key once (in the existing `changes` job for unit-tests.yml/integration-tests.yml; in a new tiny `concurrency-key` job for pre-commit.yaml, which has no `changes` job) and each actual test-execution job gets its own job-level `concurrency:` block referencing that computed output -- job-level blocks can reference `needs.*.outputs.*`. Nothing from the previously-closed osac-project#544 approach is reintroduced: no compile-check job, no gating the heavy test jobs off of merge_group. Test execution behavior (what runs, on what trigger, with what coverage) is completely unchanged on all 3 files -- this only cancels superseded/stale runs of the same PR's own prior queue entry.

Fixes real issues raised on the PR, verified against actual GitHub
Actions semantics before applying:
- The merge_group key extraction (`grep -oE 'pr-[0-9]+'`) had two real
gaps in all 3 files: (1) if the ref ever contained more than one
pr-<digits>-shaped substring (e.g. a base branch itself named
pr-99-something), grep -o would emit multiple lines and corrupt the
key; fixed with `tail -1` to always take the rightmost match, which
is the one GitHub actually appends. (2) GitHub Actions runs `run:`
steps with `set -eo pipefail`, so a ref that doesn't match the
expected shape at all would make grep exit 1 and abort the whole
step under `-e`, cascading to skip every downstream test job via
`needs: changes` -- added an empty-key fallback to `run-<run-id>` so
an unexpected ref degrades to "don't cancel" instead of crashing the
workflow.
- pre-commit.yaml's new key-computation job had no `permissions:`
block, so it inherited the repo's default GITHUB_TOKEN scope for a
job that does no checkout and makes no API calls. Added
`permissions: {}`.
- Renamed pre-commit.yaml's new job from `concurrency-key` to
`compute-concurrency-key` -- it was colliding in name with the step
id used for the same computation inside unit-tests.yml/
integration-tests.yml's `changes` job, at a different hierarchy
level (job vs. step), which was genuinely confusing to read across
the 3 files side by side.
Not changed, with reasoning:
- The protected-path/no-linked-issue note is a process gate already
satisfied by human review (approved, lgtm applied).
- Per-file concurrency-group naming conventions differ between
unit-tests.yml (run-<job>-) and integration-tests.yml
(integration-<component>-) -- cosmetic, no functional effect, left
as-is rather than expanding this PR's diff for a rename.
- Extracting the duplicated key-computation script into a shared
composite action (matching setup-go/setup-python) is a reasonable
future cleanup, deferred to keep this already-reviewed PR's diff
minimal rather than reopening review scope on an active capacity fix.

[low] edge-case
Minor behavioral change for workflow_dispatch and schedule events: each run now gets a unique concurrency key (run-<RUN_ID>), so two dispatches on the same commit SHA will no longer share a concurrency group. The old workflow-level block keyed on github.sha. In practice this is unlikely to matter — workflow_dispatch is rare and the old cancel-in-progress was only true for pull_request events.
