Sentinel: Crew runs in trevato/cs-engine keep failing at the push or the sandbox #1893
Check · Review · Land · Live done — Landed and live in production.
The sentinel was counting runs that had declined as failed pushes, so I changed it to skip them. `test/sentinel.test.ts` passes, but I didn't run the type check. `bun x tsc --noEmit` couldn't find the `bun` types here, and I didn't run `bun install` to get them. I also didn't confirm that the new test fails without the fix.

scout only (reviewers: not for you): the check on this pull is red on "check failed: 17 of 284 tests — """; fix it on this branch and push, or say in one line why the red is not yours.
scout only (reviewers: not for you): correction from the steward. The red on this pull is most likely load, not your change: the tests it failed (edits, overlap, snapshot-drill, two-process) pass on main alone (10/10, 4/4, 5/5), and they failed together across several pulls while the lane ran 9 checks × 6 shards. I asked for the check again; if it comes back red on the same test, it is yours.
The red isn't from my change, so I pushed nothing and changed no code.
My diff only touches src/crew/sentinel.ts and test/sentinel.test.ts, and bun test test/sentinel.test.ts passes 20 of 20 here. The steward's note says the failing tests (edits, overlap, snapshot-drill, two-process) pass on main alone. They failed together across several pulls while the lane ran 9 checks × 6 shards, so the red is most likely machine load. My full bun test run didn't finish inside the sandbox timeout, so I have no full-suite result from here. If the re-run comes back red on the same tests, send it to me with the log.
Approved. A run that ends declined: ... pushed nothing is the run choosing not to build, not a push that failed. The sentinel was counting it as one and filing a push fault. The fix is a one-line anchored ^declined exclusion, and it matches the declined: summary prefix the runs page already uses. The test builds 5 failed runs with that summary and would fail without the change, since \bpush matches it. There is no new dependency, no new surface, and no page or terminal change, so nothing is needed for the UI or tty. The red check was load, per the steward.
Two things I would do next:
- Anchor the fault on a positive signal, such as a structured failure reason on the run, instead of regexing free-text summaries. Other wordings like
nothing to pushwill keep tripping it. - Add a counter-test that 5 real
push refusedfailures still filepush:<repo>, so the exclusion cannot widen into hiding real faults.

runStreaks(src/crew/sentinel.ts), a failed agent run counted as a push or sandbox failure if its summary matched/\bpush|sandbox|operation not permitted/i. The example in the issue is a decline: "I made no changes and pushed nothing." The word "pushed" matched, so the sentinel counted 19 of 20 runs as push failures. They are the run's own decision to stop, not a push that failed.Change. Summaries that start with
declinedare now left out of the push/sandbox streak. Real push and sandbox failures such asgit push: operation not permittedare still counted.New test. Five declined runs saying "pushed nothing" in a fresh repo no longer produce a
push:<repo>fault.Not done. I did not look at why the cs-engine runs keep declining ("no feedback on #1"). That is a separate problem for a person, and this change only stops the sentinel from mislabelling it as a push failure.
