Org-wide CI reduction: CI runs only on the trunk → main PR and on pushes to main. Feature branches merge into trunk and get no CI. Adds trunk-guard.yml to flag PRs into main that don't come from trunk. Generated mechanically (job if: gates + push branch filters); actionlint shows no new findings.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code


Note

Medium Risk
Changes when automated validation runs for all contributions; mis-tuned gates could skip CI on the integration PR or block legitimate merges, though Trunk guard uses base-branch workflow definitions without checking out PR code.

Overview
Org-wide CI is gated behind a trunk → main merge train. Feature PRs into trunk no longer run the heavy workflow suites; full CI runs on pushes to main and on same-repo pull requests whose head is trunk and base is main. Jobs across test, rust, security, e2e, fleet, stress, install/build, format fixers, and related workflows now share that if: guard (often combined with existing change-detection conditions).

A new Trunk guard workflow (pull_request_target on main, no PR checkout) fails any PR into main that is not from this repo’s trunk branch, so direct feature→main PRs are blocked. Push triggers are tightened in places (e.g. codegen drops feature/**, fleet e2e drops feat/fleet-** on push).

AGENTS.md gains the merge-train snippet (mergeable label, base trunk, local verification expectations); prpm.lock records @agent-relay/merge-train-snippet@1.0.1.

Feature branches no longer run CI. Jobs triggered by pull_request(_target)
run only when the head branch is `trunk`; push triggers are limited to main
(release/env/tag pushes unchanged). trunk-guard.yml flags any PR into main
that does not come from `trunk`.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Selected GitHub Actions workflows now restrict pull-request jobs to same-repository trunk-to-main pull requests and limit selected push triggers to main. A new workflow checks pull requests targeting main. AGENTS.md documents the merge-train process.

🟨 Trunk guard cannot enforce main protection

A trunk PR skips the only trunk-guard job, which branch protection treats as passing. If configured as the sole required check, main accepts that PR without any CI passing.

Acknowledged, not a code change. A skipped required check counts as passing, so Trunk guard alone must never be the required check on main. In this repo main requires an approving review, and the merge agent only merges the trunk → main PR once its CI checks are green. If branch protection here adds required status checks, it should list the real CI jobs (which run on the trunk PR), not the guard.

18-18: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Update the stale branch note, but keep the pull-request filter.

The note contradicts the current push trigger. Rewrite it to describe the current policy.

The pull_request.branches filter is not unreachable. It filters the base branch, while github.head_ref filters the source branch. A pull request from trunk into a feat/fleet-* branch can satisfy both conditions.

Suggested note update
-# NOTE on branches: the fleet stack is developed on `feat/fleet-*` branches that
-# merge into each other before `main`, so the trigger must include them — gating
-# on `[main]` alone leaves this job inert for the entire feature stack (it would
-# only run after something reaches main). Update to `[main]` once the stack lands.
+# NOTE on branches: push events are limited to `main`. Pull-request events may
+# target `main` or `feat/fleet-*` branches, but the job runs only when the
+# source branch is `trunk`.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Require the repository-owned trunk branch.

A fork can create a branch named trunk and open a PR directly into main. The current condition then skips the failing job because it checks only github.head_ref. GitHub reports an if-skipped job as successful, so a required Trunk guard check does not block that PR.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore Fleet E2E coverage for feature-stack pushes.

The Fleet E2E workflow still requires feat/fleet-* coverage until the stack lands. The current harness also targets the feat/fleet-rollout-flag and fleet-mailbox stack worktrees. With branches: [main], matching feature pushes that change Fleet paths do not run Fleet E2E. No alternate workflow provides this job.

- CI gates also require the head repo to be this repository and the base to
  be main (a fork branch named trunk, or trunk into another branch, no
  longer runs CI).
- Trunk guard runs via pull_request_target (loaded from the base branch, so
  a PR cannot edit it to pass), re-runs on base edits, and checks head repo.
- Workflows that only react to a PR closing are no longer gated.
Feature PRs target trunk, verify locally, and get the `mergeable` label
