Wait deadline shorter than backend gate

Medium Severity

Recovery waits 90 minutes for the parent PR Gate run, but CI Status Gate stays queued until PR Gate: Backend finishes, which can take 150 minutes. When Frontend CI/CD completes early, the deadline can expire while the run is still in progress, so failed jobs are never re-run.

Re-check the PR head SHA after the wait, before calling reRunWorkflowFailedJobs.

The head check runs once, before the wait loop. The wait can last up to 90 minutes, and a new push during that time makes sha stale. The rerun then targets the superseded run. Because pr-gate.yml uses a per-PR concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: true, that rerun can cancel the gate for the current head. Re-run the same head check after the wait and before the rerun.

+            for (const p of prs) {

Re-check that the PR head SHA is still current after the wait and immediately
before `reRunWorkflowFailedJobs`; the existing pre-wait check can become stale
if a new push arrives. Reuse `prs` and `sha` to verify at least one associated
PR remains open with that head SHA, and skip the rerun if none do.

P2 Badge Revalidate the PR head after waiting before requesting a rerun

If another commit is pushed during the new 90-minute wait, the initial isCurrentHead check becomes stale. The push cancels the old PR Gate run, allowing this loop to exit, while its already-failed Frontend job still passes the subsequent check. The recovery then reruns the obsolete SHA. In .github/workflows/pr-gate.yml:48-50, workflow concurrency is keyed by PR number with cancel-in-progress: true, so this obsolete rerun can cancel the new head’s gate (GitHub concurrency documentation). Re-fetch the PR and confirm its current head immediately before requesting the rerun, including after any retry delay.

Stale re-run cancels current gate

High Severity

The new wait can last 90 minutes, but the script never repeats the current-head sha check before reRunWorkflowFailedJobs. A later push cancels that captured run and starts another PR Gate in the same concurrency group, so the delayed re-run can cancel the current head's gate.
