Summary

During the v2.0.0-rc.5 build, 3 of 5 jobs staged the right whisper helper and 2 failed with "no successful build-whisper-stt run"; the rerun failed a different job the same way.

  • Cause: gh run list --status success --limit 50 does not return runs in a stable order. The same query listed this morning's runs first in one place and August's in another (reproduced in WSL), so the matching run was or was not in the first 50.
  • Fix: read every successful run (gh api --paginate, 135 today), sort by creation date ourselves, read the list a second time before failing.
  • Diagnostics: a rejected run prints which source differs (run N (sha): <path> is X there, Y here); a commit that no longer exists is skipped quietly instead of printing a 404; any other API error is retried, then fatal, instead of passing for a mismatch.

Type of change

  • Bug fix

Release impact

  • No release note needed

Desktop impact

  • Installer / packaging

Testing

  • Resolution run in WSL (bash 5) and Git Bash: v2.0.0-rc.5 → 36830983393, v1.13.0 → 34873691882, main → 36830983393. Before the fix, the WSL run on v2.0.0-rc.5 found nothing.
  • build.yml dispatched on this branch to run the staging on all five jobs (result in a comment).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Workflow run selection now checks successful runs from newest to oldest and can find matching runs beyond the previous search limit.
    • The lookup is retried when temporary API errors occur, and the run list is refreshed once if no matching run is found initially.
    • Source-file matching is checked against the checked-out versions; persistent API errors other than missing source paths stop the lookup.

…s rejected

The staging script took the first 50 runs `gh run list --status success`
returned and trusted their order. That order is not stable: during the
v2.0.0-rc.5 build the same query listed this morning's runs first in one
job and August's in another, so three jobs found the matching helper and
two failed with "no successful build-whisper-stt run". It now reads every
successful run, sorts them by creation date itself, and reads the list a
second time before giving up.

A rejected run now says which source differs and how, a commit that no
longer exists is skipped quietly instead of printing a 404, and any other
API error is retried, then fatal, instead of passing for a mismatch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The staging script retrieves successful workflow runs through the Actions API, sorts them by creation time, and checks their helper source revisions against the checked-out versions. If no matching run is found, it waits 10 seconds and scans once more.

Changes

Whisper STT run selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Source revision comparison
scripts/stage-whisper-stt.sh
API reads retry up to three times. A missing commit returns no object ID, while persistent non-404 errors fail. Source checks report mismatched or missing object IDs and paths.
Successful run discovery and retry
scripts/stage-whisper-stt.sh
The script retrieves paginated successful runs and sorts them newest-first by creation time. If the scan finds no run with matching sources, it waits 10 seconds and scans once more.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0e810

Staging can still miss an older matching helper build or proceed with an incomplete list after an API failure. Remove the discovery cap and check fetch completion before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0e810

The release pipeline preserves source-matching safeguards and existing permissions. A run-list failure can still allow selection from incomplete results, but no source-validation bypass or newly verified security vulnerability was established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: The paginated run-list producer can emit rows and then fail, while its consumer does not observe that failure. Staging can therefore proceed from an incomplete list instead of containing the lookup failure or retrying it. This weakens the new complete newest-first selection invariant, although each selected run still passes all configured source checks and no artifact-integrity bypass was established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The selected helper feeds Windows, macOS, and Linux installer jobs. These consumers supply GH_TOKEN, and the installer workflow declares contents: write. Discovery now reaches additional qualifying historical runs, but caller wiring and declared authority remain unchanged.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The producer already accepts manual dispatch and qualifying pushes on all branches. Enumeration remains confined to successful runs of that workflow in the configured repository, and source matching remains mandatory before download. These checks bind the three configured source inputs; they are not binary-content attestation or credential isolation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — No-match and artifact-download failures terminate before destination publication. Source-read failures are now distinguished from mismatches, improving failure containment. The retained enumeration concern does not bypass those per-candidate identity checks.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Complete run enumeration into a temporary result and check its exit status before consuming candidates, so a failed pagination attempt cannot publish a selection from partial results.

- Line 132: Update successful_runs and the selection loop to fetch the complete
run list synchronously into a temporary file, check the fetch status before
sorting or scanning, and retry failures. After retries are exhausted, report a
fatal API error; do not treat empty or partial output as a complete scan.
- Around line 125-126: Update the run-discovery request and jq filter in the
workflow-runs scan to omit the status query parameter and select runs whose
conclusion is success locally before sorting. Keep pagination and the existing
output fields unchanged.

…a broken listing

GitHub caps status-filtered run queries at 1,000 results, so the success
filter now runs locally. The list is read into a file with its exit status
checked and retried: from a process substitution, a failed or partial
listing passed for a complete one.
