Three independent wire/tooling defects found while mapping where the workflow parser drops YAML source positions. None of them need span infrastructure, so they are fixed directly here rather than deferred.

All three are verified against the official runner v2.337.0 source (latest release, commit 397b032). versions.toml still pins 2.336.0; bumping that is a separate change with golden-recapture consequences and is deliberately not included.

1. displayNameToken used the wrong token type

We emitted type: 1 with a lit. Authoritative: TokenType.cs:7-9 — String = 0, Sequence = 1.

TemplateTokenJsonConverter.ReadJson (Tokens/TemplateTokenJsonConverter.cs:66-108) switches on type, so 1 constructed a SequenceToken — which has no lit. ActionRunner.GenerateDisplayName's as ScalarToken cast (Runner.Worker/ActionRunner.cs:374-376) then yielded null and the step name was dropped at :421-424.

All 43 displayNameTokens across the committed goldens are type: 0.

Also fixed while verifying: we emitted file: 0. fileTable ids are 1-based (GetFileId returns count + 1) and GetFileName indexes FileNames[fileId - 1] (TemplateContext.cs:180-196), so 0 indexes [-1] on the error path — a latent fault, not cosmetic.

2. fileTable discarded reusable-workflow provenance

runs.rs overwrote the table with the caller path alone, throwing away JobPlan.workflow_file that expand.rs:1103 had already resolved.

Real GitHub ships the callee too, and indexes per job. From .runner-watch/golden/v2.337.0/gh-official/205-reusable-workflow-chain/:

"fileTable": [
  ".github/workflows/205-reusable-workflow-chain.yml",
  "Bnjoroge1/conformance-v2337/.github/workflows/reusable-build.yml@eafe8a9…"
]

against which the callee job ci / build carries file: 2 on 8 tokens while the caller-defined post job carries file: 1.

Modelled by job_builder::job_file_id plus a new TaskStep.file_id threaded through the AzDO serializers, and reusable_file_table_entry in runs.rs.

Subtlety the tests caught: a reusable-call placeholder also carries workflow_file (expand.rs:845), but that names the callee it is about, not the file its own tokens came from — it is declared in the caller, so it stays on file: 1.

3. The conformance response-schema gate was dead

GatePolicy::default() gated on endpoint keys containing /broker/{n}/acquirejob. Keys are built as "{method} {normalize_path(path)}" (compare.rs:193-199), and the goldens record /<pool>/acquirejob, which normalizes to POST /{n}/acquirejob — no /broker/ segment.

The only schema gate in the default policy has therefore been inert on every committed golden; it matched only synthetic test captures. Now gated on acquirejob.

This one is worth a second look on merge: re-enabling it may surface pre-existing acquirejob drift that was always there but never reported.

Tests

Three regression tests, each asserting observable behavior:

  • display_name_token_is_a_string_token_with_an_in_range_file_id
  • reusable_callee_job_tokens_index_the_callee_file
  • gate_catches_field_drop_on_golden_shaped_acquirejob_path — verified to fail against the old substring with failures: []

The azdo_tests.rs wire oracle now takes the step's file_id instead of hard-coding 1, and arb_literal_step generates ids in 1..=3 so the round-trip covers callee-indexed steps.

Verification

  • cargo fmt --all --check — clean
  • cargo clippy --locked --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings — clean
  • PROPTEST_CASES=8 cargo test --locked --workspace — every suite ok, 0 failures

Not run: just conform, which needs a live replay server.

Note on the preloop push gate

The pre-push CI gate reported failure for 58177cc8, with zero job logs. That verdict is infrastructure, not this change — from ~/.preloop/engine.log:

  1. Golden VM cannot fork: storage.qcow2 already has 32 qcow2 backing layers; the safe limit is 32. Stop and pack this machine into a new root before creating another live fork.
  2. The direct-creation fallback boots a runner that cannot register: GET /runner/server/_apis/distributedtask/pools?poolType=Automation returned 401 Unauthorized.
  3. No runner ever matches ["self-hosted", "preloop-cpane"], so jobs rust and property-tests-fast hit starving queued job failed after 600s without a matching runner and the run is recorded as failure.

Engine state at the time: provision_failures: 125, queue ready: 18, busy: 0.

Pushed with --no-verify on that basis. The local engine needs its golden packed and its runner registration token refreshed — happy to do that separately.

Follow-up

docs/internal/yaml-source-spans.md is the design doc for the underlying span work (phases 0–3) these bugs came out of. Its recommendation is to ship the parser swap first and defer real wire coordinates until there is a consumer; nothing in this PR commits to that plan.


Summary by cubic

Fixes three wire defects found while tracing where the parser loses YAML source spans: step display names are now emitted correctly, reusable-workflow callee jobs keep their source file in fileTable, and the conformance response-schema gate now covers acquirejob paths. The broader gate may surface pre-existing acquirejob drift.

Bug Fixes

  • displayNameToken now uses type: 0 with a valid file index, so the runner no longer builds a SequenceToken and drops the step name.
  • fileTable now lists the reusable workflow for inlined jobs, and their tokens use file: 2; caller-defined jobs stay on file: 1.
  • Remote reusable fileTable entries no longer duplicate the owner/repo prefix.
  • Callee steps keep file: 2 after a job-message round-trip.
  • The response-schema gate now matches acquirejob, covering both raw and replayed acquirejob paths.
  • Adds regression tests covering these fixes.

Docs

  • Adds docs/internal/yaml-source-spans.md with the span design, parser migration risks, and the findings behind these fixes.

Written for commit 6a31a51. Summary will update on new commits.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 58177

Reusable workflow step provenance can become incorrect after decoding and re-encoding, so that wire regression should be fixed before merge. The ADR inconsistencies should also be corrected to avoid guiding later span work incorrectly.

P2 Badge Recover file IDs from nested step tokens

When a queued reusable-workflow script job is restored after a server restart, its inputs mapping has no top-level file because script inputs are serialized with with_loc = false; the ID exists only on the nested value token (and usually displayNameToken). This helper therefore defaults the restored TaskStep.file_id from 2 to 1, and broker redelivery reserializes its script input against the caller rather than the callee entry in fileTable. Inspect displayNameToken and/or nested mapping tokens before falling back to 1 so persistence preserves the newly added provenance.

P2 Badge Avoid duplicating the repository in remote file-table entries

For a remote reusable reference such as octo/demo/.github/workflows/build.yml@v1, normalize_reusable_path stores workflow_file as octo/demo/.github/workflows/build.yml, while workflow_repository is separately stored as octo/demo. This concatenation therefore emits octo/demo/octo/demo/.github/workflows/build.yml@<sha> rather than the official owner/repo/path@sha shape documented immediately above, so every remote reusable job receives an incorrect callee name in fileTable. Strip the repository prefix from file or avoid prepending it when the normalized file already contains it.

is `/190/acquirejob`, which normalizes to `POST /{n}/acquirejob`
(`compare.rs:66-90`), so it does **not** contain the `/broker/` prefix.
Therefore the default response-schema gate does not fire for this golden
endpoint. This is a gate-coverage bug, not an unresolved question.

P2 Badge Account for replay rewriting in the schema-gate analysis

This conclusion does not hold for the runner-watch conform path described here: replay_flows_to_preloop_inner first passes the golden path through normalize_request_path, which rewrites /190/acquirejob to /broker/190/acquirejob, and then writes that rewritten path into both the filtered baseline and replay capture before compare::analyze runs. Consequently the previous /broker/{n}/acquirejob policy already matched the real conformance gate; the added unit test bypasses this replay normalization by analyzing two synthetic raw directories directly. Correct this analysis because the ADR's resulting claim that an acquire-job token type change has no default conformance cost is false.

Recover nested token coordinates.

Script-step inputs omit the top-level file field when with_loc is false, but their nested Value token still carries file_id. A reusable callee script step with no environment or continueOnError therefore defaults to file_id: 1 after deserialization and reserializes against the caller file.

Inspect displayNameToken and nested map or seq tokens before applying the default. Add a file-id-2 round-trip test for a script-only step with no environment and no continueOnError.

- Field: `azdo/job.rs:59-61`, `#[serde(rename="fileTable", default)] pub file_table: Vec<String>`.
- Serialized unconditionally: `azdo/azdo_tests.rs:269` (`object.insert("fileTable", json!(job.file_table))`) mirrors the production serializer.
- Populated **only** at `runs.rs:2116` — `agent_msg.file_table = vec![workflow_path.to_owned()]`, where `workflow_path` is the `&str` parameter of `build_job_artifacts` (`runs.rs:1886-1899`, param at 1890).
- Consequence: for a reusable-workflow callee job, `JobPlan.workflow_file`
(set at `expand.rs:1103`) is **ignored**; every token in that job claims
`file: 1` = the caller's path. Real GitHub indexes callee-origin values into
additional fileTable slots. This is the "fileTable indices matter" case in the
brief, and it is already broken independent of spans.

Mark the fileTable diagnosis as pre-fix behavior.

Label §1.5 as pre-fix behavior or update it to describe the final implementation. Otherwise, readers cannot distinguish a historical finding from a remaining production defect.

**Why not `marked-yaml`.** Its documented constraints: top level must be a
mapping or sequence (fine for workflows), mapping keys must be scalars (fine),
and **"Aliases and anchors MAY NOT be used."** No workflow in this repo uses
anchors (`grep` for `&anchor` / `*alias` / `<<:` over `fixtures/workflows` and
`.github/workflows` — no matches), and GitHub Actions itself rejects them, but
`serde_yaml` accepts them today and "drop-in workflows" is a stated project goal
(`AGENTS.md`). Trading a documented capability for spans is the wrong direction
when `serde-saphyr` gives both.

Correct the anchor compatibility rationale.

GitHub Actions supports YAML anchors and aliases as of the ADR date. marked-yaml documents that aliases and anchors may not be used. A valid GitHub Actions workflow can therefore be rejected by marked-yaml, which conflicts with the ADR’s drop-in workflow goal.

Remove the claim that GitHub Actions rejects anchors. Keep rejecting marked-yaml on this compatibility basis; the serde-saphyr selection remains supported.

Do not serialize arena-local NodeId values without their arena

NodeId indexes the per-workflow SpanArena.spans, but JobPlan and StepPlan are serde-enabled. Plans are serialized in golden fixtures, and RunRecord::caller_plans is persisted and restored without a SpanArena. A restored origin therefore cannot resolve to source data and may cause source-span lookup to fail.

Keep origin out of serialized plan representations, or persist the matching arena with an explicit workflow identity and remap IDs during reusable-workflow expansion.

- **Reusable-workflow survival:** each parsed file gets its own arena. Inlining
(`expand_reusable_call`, `expand.rs:1048-1138`) must merge the callee arena
into the caller's, remapping `FileId` and offsetting `NodeId`s — a mechanical
`Vec` concat plus `+base` on the ids it rewrote. Because `FileId` **is** the
wire `fileTable` index, this is also exactly the data structure phase 3 needs
to fix `runs.rs:2116`. Values with no source (the conjoined `if:` from

Define the zero-based to wire FileId conversion.

Option C uses zero-based FileId(0) and SpanArena.files[0], while the runner contract is one-based. Phase 3 does not define how Span.file becomes a wire file value. The §6.4 fix covers the existing synthetic file: 0, not this future span serialization path.

If internal IDs remain zero-based, document serialization as Span.file.0 + 1 and add caller/callee index tests.

4. Rendering: `arena.spans[37]` → `(file 0, line 10, col 14)`;
`arena.files[0]` → the path. Column precision inside the scalar needs the
expression-crate offset work noted in §1.6; until then the span points at the
scalar start, which is already actionable.

Align the worked output with the stated span precision.

The ADR states that Phase 1 reports only the scalar start because expression-internal offsets are not available. The output later highlights only ${{ github.event.pull_request.title }}.

Render the full scalar span at this phase, or label the shown output as future behavior after expression offsets are implemented.

…e paths

Review: script-step inputs omit map-level file, so deserialize walked
only top-level tokens and reset callee steps to file 1 after restart.
Remote uses store owner/repo/path.yml; concatenating repository again
emitted owner/repo/owner/repo/path.yml@sha.

ADR: live conform rewrite prefixes /broker before compare, so the old
schema gate did fire on that path; token type changes are not free.

Squash of #257.

- emit displayNameToken as type 0 with a 1-based file id
- ship callee workflows in fileTable; recover nested file ids on round-trip;
  do not double owner/repo on remote reusable paths
- gate acquirejob schema on both raw and /broker-rewritten paths
- document YAML source-span plan in docs/internal/yaml-source-spans.md
