PR #119 Copilot round 3 (past the two-round cap): small doc precision nits and a missing workflow-trigger test#126

Filed per Brett Heap's ruling of 2026-09-16 ("do all three") capping Copilot review at two rounds per PR: rounds 1-2 on PR #119 were taken (two follow-up commits fixed their valid findings); this is round 3, past the cap, so its findings land here rather than as a fourth commit chasing the review instead of shipping it.

All four are individually correct and cheap. None blocks anything; they're precision/coverage nits on the CI landing-gate work in #119.

1. Add a hygiene/workflow test that pins the landing-gate trigger logic

The new landing-gate behavior is central to this change, but the existing hygiene test only verifies the /bin/bash -n file list; it does not assert the labeled trigger or that tests-macos is skipped without ready and runs with it. A typo in either the event list or this expression could therefore silently remove the landing check while the suite stays green.

Concretely: a test in tests/test_repo_hygiene.py that reads .github/workflows/tests.yml and asserts (as text/regex, matching this file's existing style of testing workflow text rather than parsing it as structured YAML):

  • pull_request: names labeled among its types:;
  • tests-macos carries an if: containing both github.event_name != 'pull_request' and contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'ready').

This is the most valuable of the four — it is the difference between a future accidental edit to the gate silently going green forever versus a red hygiene test naming what broke.

2. tests.yml's on: comment doesn't name workflow_dispatch as one of tests-macos's non-PR homes

The comment above on: says:

# ... `push` (main only) and the nightly `schedule` are `tests-macos`'s other two homes
# now that it has left the per-push gate ...

but tests-macos's if: also runs it unconditionally on workflow_dispatch (github.event_name != 'pull_request' is true there too). Say "three homes" and name workflow_dispatch, or otherwise fold it in.

3. tests.yml's checkout-invariant comment still omits tests-no-submodule as an exception

The header comment (as of PR #119) reads:

# EVERY CHECKOUT THAT RUNS THE SUITE TAKES `submodules: true`, `parse-macos`
# excepted: ...

tests-no-submodule also checks out with submodules: false, on purpose (it's the job that proves the submodule-missing skip path). That job predates #119 and the invariant comment was already inaccurate about it before this PR touched the paragraph; #119 named parse-macos as an exception without also naming tests-no-submodule. Name both.

4. AGENTS.md's "on pull_request this workflow runs tests, tests-no-submodule and tests-windows only" is stale the moment parse-macos exists

parse-macos (added in #119) also runs unconditionally on every pull_request event — it's tests-macos alone that's gated on the label. The "Testing your changes" section's rule (1) should list parse-macos alongside the other three, or say "every job except the gated tests-macos".

Whoever picks this up: recall AGENTS.md's own line-count hygiene cap (tests/test_repo_hygiene.py::test_agents_md_is_short_enough_to_be_read, 292 after #119) — any lines added there need the cap raised and a dated docstring entry, per that test's own documented ritual.

    Settled by #227 (aaa7bc8, Brett Heap's 2026-10-15 decision to run the suite on Linux only). #202's body records each item:

    • Item 1, a hygiene test pinning labeled and tests-macos's if:: moot. No job reads the ready label now, and that if: is gone.
    • Item 2, workflow_dispatch missing from tests-macos's homes: moot, because tests-macos is gone.
    • Item 3, the checkout-invariant comment: fixed in ci: run the test suite on Linux only #227's header.
    • Item 4, AGENTS.md's job list: rewritten by ci: run the test suite on Linux only #227. It now names the three jobs and the four triggers.

    One cosmetic leftover: the on: comment in tests.yml says push (main only) and the nightly schedule run the three jobs. It doesn't name workflow_dispatch, which runs them too. It is a one-line fix for whoever edits tests.yml next.

    Closing. Lane 4 releases its claim.
