Fixes #8990.

Description

This modifies the actions to permit running in merge queues. This is something which could be used to accelerate PR integration and automate updating PR branches when other PRs merge into dev. This should be discussed in the issue before merging.

This also removes the paths-ignore component of the main CI script as this was blocking documentation-only PRs.

Types of changes

  • Non-breaking change (fix or new feature that would not break existing functionality).
  • Breaking change (fix or new feature that would cause existing functionality to change).
  • New tests added to cover the changes.
  • Integration tests passed locally by running ./runtests.sh -f -u --net --coverage.
  • Quick tests passed locally by running ./runtests.sh --quick --unittests --disttests.
  • In-line docstrings updated.
  • Documentation updated, tested make html command in the docs/ folder.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation, CI tests, and CodeQL workflows now support GitHub merge queue checks. The CI workflow no longer ignores configured paths. CI jobs now use pyrefly, generated dependencies, package extras, pinned Hyena dependencies, configurable package indexes, no-build-isolation installs, and an additional uv installation step.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6581f

A narrow CI path-handling bug increases test cost and delay for some filenames; it should be corrected before merge.

Explanation

The cicd_tests.yml changes replace mypy with pyrefly, change dependency generation and installation methods, pin Torch packages, add --no-build-isolation, and alter packaging installation settings. These changes are not required to add merge queue triggers or remove paths-ignore for #8990. They change unrelated CI behavior.

Do not expose NGC secrets to merge-group test code.

Prepare build dependencies in each workflow job.

Both pip install .[all,testing] commands use build isolation. [build-system].requires includes torch>=2.8.0, so pip can install a second PyTorch copy. Install tomli when Python is below 3.11, install generated build requirements with --no-build-isolation, and use that flag for the package install. Also update runtests.sh because --build later runs pip install -e . without the flag.

@coderabbitai how would any untrusted code which exposes these keys get into the merge queue? No code should get to the queue that hasn't been approved in a PR.

@ericspod You are correct. The merge queue runs approved PR code under your stated process. I did not establish an approval bypass. My “untrusted code” claim was incorrect.

The workflow does provide the NGC secrets to ./runtests.sh --min during merge_group, but that is consistent with treating approved merge-queue code as trusted. I withdraw the finding.

This adds the merge_group trigger for the GitHub-Actions-hosted checks, but the branch protection ruleset (ID 16034365) also requires third-party checks: DCO, DeepSource (Docker/Python/Shell), and pre-commit.ci. A merge queue entry only completes when every required check reports on the gh-readonly-queue/... branch. Have these external apps been verified to support merge_group events, or will they be excluded from the merge queue's required checks? If not, enqueued PRs will wait until the queue times out.

I don't honestly know, we might have to see if it goes through or adjust our branch rules. The DCO, pre-commit, and other checks don't need to be run again in the queue, only code that's gotten through a PR is in the queue, so it would be good to exclude them.

🟡 Minor · Handle changed paths without shell splitting. · cicd_tests.yml:72-97

.github/workflows/cicd_tests.yml:72-97
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle changed paths without shell splitting.

A changed .py filename containing spaces is split by the unquoted $i expansions in git show, basename, and compare_sources.py. The comparison then fails even for a docstring-only change, sets skip=0, and runs the full test matrix.

Use NUL-delimited Git output and quote the path variables. Preserve the changed file extension for the temporary file; compare_sources.py compares extensions.

Proposed fix
