ci(queue): test merge groups on the self-hosted runner - #7612
The first piece of Land main through GitHub's merge queue: a merge_group build on the host's self-hosted runner. Merging this changes nothing about how PRs land. The ruleset still requires quest land until the cutover.
.github/workflows/queue.yml: on merge_group (checks_requested), the Queue job runs nix develop --command just ci "$BASE" against the group's base_sha.
It runs on [self-hosted, moq-queue] (nixos-moq-ci, online) with CHECK_FAIL_FAST=1, like the host gate's moq check.
It is read-only: contents: read, persist-credentials: false, and no secrets.
On main pull requests (opened, synchronize, reopened, edited) the job is skipped. A skipped job satisfies a required check, so a PR can enter the queue.
Required context for the cutover:Queue.
.github/actions/rust-cache: the self-hosted guard admitted only the retired Land workflow on main. It now admits only Queue on a merge_group for refs/heads/gh-readonly-queue/main/, since a maintainer picked each group's PR. sh/gh/setup.test.ts covers every workflow, event and ref combination.
sh/gh/queue.test.ts: the policy changes from "nothing runs in the merge queue" to "Queue is the one merge group build". It asserts the triggers, the runner, the read-only token, no secrets, and the base.
.github/actionlint.yaml: declares the moq-queue runner label.
Quest:quest/m0/ci/land.md's Remaining drops the workflow item and names Queue as the context the ruleset requires.
Main PRs keep reporting Check as skipped, because the queue tests each one. Only release PRs run Check.
Checks
just check origin/main passes: markdown, gh (actionlint, zizmor, alert coverage, queue.test.ts, setup.test.ts), quest, shell and toml.
Remaining (in the quest, for the cutover)
The ruleset (require Queue and the merge queue, drop quest land), the host config, the queue watcher for moq (moq-dev/quest#388 and its follow-ups), Dependabot's pick path, and the live evidence.
Round 1 on 3e753a72: 1 finding, fixed. The pull_request types missed edited, so a PR retargeted to main would never report Queue. edited is added and asserted in queue.test.ts.
Round 2 on e6a6534bdcd83963e1f0814a1bf1e07b61b1de9d: no findings.
A merge_group workflow runs just ci against the group's base on
[self-hosted, moq-queue] with fail-fast, read-only and without secrets,
reporting the Queue context main's ruleset will require. Pull requests
report it skipped so they can enter the queue. The self-hosted cache guard
now admits main's merge queue in place of the retired Land workflow.

Land main through GitHub's merge queue with an async fixer
ci(queue): test merge groups on the self-hosted runner
Nov 2, 2026
No actionable bugs found. The direction is appropriately small: reuse just ci with the merge group's explicit base, keep the PR-side required context skipped, and restrict the persistent-cache path to main's merge-group workflow. The edited trigger addresses the retargeting gap recorded in the local review. The ruleset/host/watcher cutover remains explicitly separate, rather than pretending this workflow alone changes landing policy. No public API or wire change.
Verification limits: static review of the workflow, cache action, policy tests, dispatcher/base resolution and cutover plan. I did not run tests or a live merge-group build, verify the runner's installed tools/isolation, or validate the eventual ruleset configuration; this is not evidence those checks passed.

Important
The merge group build selects its diff from github.event.merge_group.base_sha, but this repo deliberately replaced that field with origin/main in #6991 (7c1161e2d9) to close a real selection hole, and .github/ci-selection-audit.md:178-185 still documents origin/main as the fix. At the intended build concurrency 1 the two are equivalent, but the workflow now depends on an unversioned ruleset setting that the quest plans to change. Details in the inline comment.
Reviewed changes
queue.yml (new): on merge_group runs just ci "$BASE" on [self-hosted, moq-queue] with CHECK_FAIL_FAST=1, NEXTEST_TEST_THREADS=24, contents: read, persist-credentials: false, and no secrets; on main pull requests the job is skipped so the required Queue context still reports.
rust-cache/action.yml: the self-hosted guard now admits only Queue on a main merge group, dropping the retired Land allowance.
sh/gh/queue.test.ts: pins the triggers, runner, read-only token, absence of secrets, and BASE; asserts no other workflow lands around the queue.
sh/gh/setup.test.ts: evaluates the guard across every workflow, event, and ref combination via an injected startsWith.
actionlint.yaml / quest/m0/ci/land.md / check.yml: declares the moq-queue label, names Queue as the required context, and updates the check comment.

merge_group.base_sha is GitHub's "SHA of the merge group's parent commit", so under grouping it is the entry ahead, not origin/main; origin/main is what 7c1161e2d9 (#6991) chose precisely so the base does not depend on the ruleset's grouping/concurrency.
Technical details
# Select the merge group diff from `origin/main`## Affected sites-`.github/workflows/queue.yml:41` — `BASE: ${{ github.event.merge_group.base_sha }}` selects the group's parent, which is the entry ahead when more than one entry is built (the selection hole #6991 fixed).
-`sh/gh/queue.test.ts:61` — pins `base_sha`, locking in the regressed value.
-`.github/ci-selection-audit.md:178-185` — states Check diffs a merge group from `origin/main`; left contradicting the workflow.
## Required outcome- The merge group build selects from `origin/main`, matching `7c1161e2d9` and the audit, so a passing head selects every entry it can merge regardless of the ruleset's build concurrency or grouping strategy.
- Update `queue.yml`'s `BASE` comment and `queue.test.ts` to match.
## Suggested approach
Set `BASE: origin/main` (fetch-depth 0 already provides it, as the retired check.yml did) and assert that in `queue.test.ts`.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

Walkthrough
The changes add a Queue workflow for main pull requests and merge-group checks. The workflow runs just ci on the moq-queue self-hosted runner with the merge-group base SHA and uploads Cargo timing reports unless canceled. The Rust cache guard and its tests now restrict self-hosted runs to queue refs. Workflow tests and CI documentation reflect the merge queue configuration.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to e6a65
Before queue cutover, isolate the runner and correct change selection: a pull request could affect later builds, and combined changes could miss checks.

The merge-group job checks out and executes pull-request-controlled action, Nix, and just code on the persistent moq-queue runner. Its read-only GitHub token and disabled checkout credentials do not isolate the runner's persistent local cache or filesystem state. A malicious or compromised pull request can alter state that later queue jobs reuse. Use an ephemeral runner with no shared host services or cache state before enabling this job for external pull requests.

Use the target branch as the changed-file baseline.
Build concurrency 1 serializes merge-group checks. It does not restrict a merge_group to one pull request. GitHub's merge limits govern merging into the base branch and do not combine merge-group builds.
A group can therefore include an earlier queued entry. Because this workflow passes merge_group.base_sha, sh/changed.sh starts its diff at the earlier entry's commit and omits that entry's paths. Use origin/main so the dispatcher selects all changes in the merge-group head.
IMPORTANT
Review the replacement and indentation, then test before committing.
