Summary

  • split known-failure validation from diff-selected integration-suite execution
  • rerun every nonempty SUITE_EXCLUSIONS exact test on every core PR, including HIR/transform/dependency-only fixes
  • use a shared rust_work output so an empty exclusion list still costs no Rust setup
  • keep the entire e2e job off for docs-only PRs and document the contract

Closes #8266

Validation

  • python3 scripts/ci_e2e_scope.py --self-test
  • python3 scripts/ci_plan.py --self-test
  • actionlint .github/workflows/test.yml (only three pre-existing informational ShellCheck notices)
  • sabotage test: injected a passing exact test as a synthetic exclusion, supplied only a HIR source diff, confirmed suite scope stayed empty while rust_work=true, and confirmed the validator rejected the stale exclusion; synthetic entry then removed
  • BASE_SHA=origin/main ./scripts/run_lint_gates.sh (all 50 gates passed)

Cost guard

SUITE_EXCLUSIONS is currently empty, so this adds no Rust work today. If an exclusion is added later, exact-test validation runs only for core PRs; docs-only PRs still run lint alone.

Checklist

  • No workspace version bump
  • No CLAUDE.md or CHANGELOG.md edit

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved CI validation for known test exclusions.
    • Pull requests now verify that every excluded test still fails; passing or missing tests cause validation to fail.
    • Test suites continue to report combined failures across all selected suites.
  • Performance

    • Documentation-only changes and workflows without relevant exclusions now skip unnecessary Rust environment setup.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance explaining exclusion validation and when Rust setup is skipped.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The e2e-scoped workflow now prepares Rust tooling when suites or exclusions require it. It validates every known-failure exclusion independently of selected suites and documents this behavior.

Changes

E2E exclusion validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rust work detection and setup gating
.github/workflows/test.yml
The workflow captures exclusions and sets rust_work when suites or exclusions require Rust setup. Toolchain, cache, sccache, and archive steps use this condition.
Independent exclusion checks
.github/workflows/test.yml, scripts/ci_e2e_scope.py, docs/src/testing/ci-tiers.md, changelog.d/8378-codegen-exclusion-validation.md
The workflow runs each exclusion with an exact-test filter and fails if the test passes or is missing. Suite failures retain aggregated status handling. Documentation and changelog text describe the behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 03d14

The workflow is intended to validate every configured exclusion on core pull requests, but a suite failure currently prevents that validation from running, allowing stale or broken exclusions to go unchecked. This is a concrete CI correctness gap that should be fixed before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Run exclusion validation after a suite failure.

When a scoped suite fails, Line 1292 ends its step with a nonzero status. The default success condition then skips this step. A core PR with both a suite failure and exclusions does not validate every excluded test.

Use always() in the step condition.

Proposed fix
-        if: steps.scope.outputs.exclusions != ''
+        if: ${{ always() && steps.scope.outputs.exclusions != '' }}

Merging. Worth naming why this matters beyond the diff: it closes the exact
failure mode that bit twice today.

SUITE_EXCLUSIONS entries are self-invalidating in principle — an entry whose
test starts passing is supposed to go red. But validation only ran when the diff
happened to select that suite, so in practice a stale entry produced silence,
not a red build: the suite stayed skipped and the coverage a fix earned back
never ran. That is #7708's shape, and it is what left native_proof_buffer_views
dark after #8302 (cleaned up in #8321) and the two shadow_slot_hygiene /
typed_feedback assertions dark after #8333 (cleaned up in #8335). Both times a
human had to notice.

Running every nonempty exclusion's exact test on every core PR removes the
"nobody looked" path.

One note on scope: SUITE_EXCLUSIONS is currently empty (#8335 emptied it),
so this is protection for future entries rather than something with immediate
work to do — and the rust_work gating means an empty list still costs no Rust
setup, so it is free until it is needed. That is the right shape for a gate.

Validated: ci_e2e_scope.py --self-test and ci_plan.py --self-test both exit 0,
all 50 lint-tier gates pass, and actionlint reports the same 3 findings on main
as on this branch (nothing new; it is not a CI gate either way).
