ci: run the scheduled autofix every 3 hours and raise its per-run cap - #2890
Conversation
The daily autofix was becoming the pipeline's bottleneck at the current merge rate: one run per day with MAX_PRS=8 means a PR needing two fix passes takes two to three days, and the queue saturates around 8 PRs/day. - Run the schedule twice a day (04:30 and 11:30 UTC): overnight feedback is fixed by morning, morning-review feedback is fixed the same afternoon instead of waiting for the next day. - Raise MAX_PRS from 8 to 10 per run (daily ceiling: 20 sessions). - Tighten the launch stagger (max-parallel 3, 5-minute hold) so a full 10-PR run fires in ~20 minutes instead of ~40. MAX_PASSES and the quiet period are unchanged: they are quality controls, not throughput knobs.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe scheduled autofix workflow now runs every three hours, up to six times daily. Each run can process up to 10 pull requests, uses a five-minute launch stagger, and allows three parallel fire jobs. Documentation reflects the updated limits and retry behavior. ChangesScheduled autofix workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR increases scheduled autofix activity to as many as 60 routine fires per UTC day and shortens launch spacing, but current documentation and safety assumptions do not fully match that behavior. Overlapping sessions or account-rate limits could reduce throughput or create duplicate work, so the PR needs those bounded risks addressed or explicitly accepted before merge. Possibly related PRs

Update the stale launch-spacing comment.
max-parallel is now 3, but the hold-step comment at Lines 424-425 still says max-parallel 2 and “about two fires per window.” Change that comment to describe three fires per stagger window.

Empty runs are free: the select job is pure bash + gh api and the fire job is skipped when nothing is eligible. Real spend is bounded per PR by the Autofix-Handled markers and MAX_PASSES, not by run frequency, so a denser schedule only cuts the latency between a bot comment and its fix. Six runs a day (04:30 to 19:30 UTC, every 3 hours) stay comfortably above any session's lifetime, so a run can never select a PR whose previous autofix session is still in flight and has not posted its markers yet — the one race that forbids going much denser than this.

Update retry wording for the new cadence.
The new schedule runs six times per day, but the earlier “How it works” text still says that an unhandled comment is retried “the next day” at Lines 52-57. A failed fire normally retries at the next scheduled run. Replace that wording so operators do not expect a 24-hour delay.

Synchronize the launch-pacing row with the workflow.
The changed MAX_PRS row is correct, but the constants table still lists FIRE_STAGGER_MINUTES as 8 and max-parallel as 2 at Line 84. The workflow now uses 5 at Lines 99-103 and 3 at Lines 360-361. Update the row so operators do not use stale launch timing.

Correct the pass-budget and lifetime comments. MAX_PASSES limits the highest observed Autofix-Pass trailer. It does not cap total sessions. Concurrent fires can reuse the same pass, and markers do not provide concurrency control. The workflow concurrency group serializes fire jobs, not already-started cloud sessions. Keep the three-hour lifetime claim only if the routine documents a maximum lifetime below three hours.

Reviewed c889b269 (3-hourly schedule, not only the original twice-daily commit).
CI-only retune of the scheduled Claude autofix: cron 30 4,7,10,13,16,19 * * * (six runs between 04:30 and 19:30 UTC), MAX_PRS 8→10, FIRE_STAGGER_MINUTES 8→5, max-parallel 2→3. MAX_PASSES and the 2h quiet period stay as quality controls. No Gladys runtime and no server/constants.js device categories/types.
The select/fire split, marker anti-loop, claude/ branch gate, and both concurrency groups are unchanged and still look correct. Skipping fire on an empty select is right. Docs were updated for cadence, MAX_PRS, and latency.
Approving — the throughput change is intentional and the safety caps that matter (MAX_PASSES, quiet period, branch prefix, markers) are untouched. Please still clean up the leftover comments/docs called out inline (stale stagger table, “MAX_PRS per day” header, “any session’s lifetime” / daily-quota wording). The 3-hour gap is a reasonable default, not a lock: public-repo cron delay plus a long in-flight session can still double-fire the same PR; damage stays bounded, but overlapping pushes are messier at this cadence than at once-a-day.
Not risk:high (no production Gladys code). Not needs:human-review (ops/quota call for the routine owner, who authored this).

The 3-hour spacing is the right idea (markers are not a lock, and hourly would overlap in-flight sessions), but “comfortably longer than any session’s lifetime” is stronger than we can prove.
Two things eat that buffer:
- GitHub
schedulejitter. On public repos, cron jobs are often delayed by tens of minutes and GitHub documents delays of an hour or more under load. A late 04:30 run whose cloud sessions have not posted markers yet will still look eligible to the 07:30 select. Workflowconcurrencyonly serializes the fire jobs (the curl + 5-minute hold); the sessions outlive those jobs, and the per-PR group does not help once the morning fire job has finished. - Account daily quota is not
MAX_PASSES.MAX_PASSESbounds one PR’s lifetime. The Anthropic daily routine-run cap isruns × fires: theoretical ceiling is 6 × 10 = 60 sessions/UTC day, and with this cadence a busyclaude/queue can burn many PRs’ passes in a single day (previously hard-capped at 8 fires/day). Each fire also kicks a full PR CI wave. Worth confirming the plan covers that before this lands — the original PR body already flagged the ~20/day case, and this commit went well past that.
Overlapping sessions are still bounded (highest Autofix-Pass trailer, markers on later runs), but they can still push overlapping commits and duplicate replies. Treating 3h as “usually enough”, not a mutex, is the accurate claim.

MAX_PRS is a per-run burst cap — that part is right — but “the daily spend … is bounded per PR by MAX_PASSES” undersells the account-level cost. MAX_PASSES is a per-PR lifetime cap, not a daily budget. Six runs with a burst of 10 is a 60-fire theoretical day; the leftover header comment at line 21 still says “MAX_PRS PRs per day”, which is now wrong in the other direction.
Please reword this (and that header) so operators do not think the old 8-fires/day ceiling still holds.

The MAX_PRS row is updated, but the constants table still lists FIRE_STAGGER_MINUTES as 8 with max-parallel: 2 (a few rows below). The workflow now uses 5 minutes and max-parallel: 3. Same pass should fix that row, plus the leftover “retried the next day” wording in “How it works” (lines 52–57) — retries are now the next run.

The scheduled Claude autofix was becoming the pipeline's bottleneck at the current merge rate: one run per day with
MAX_PRS: 8means a PR needing two fix passes mechanically takes 2-3 days, and the queue saturates around 8 PRs/day — a glass ceiling on the way to 100+ merges/week.Three changes in
.github/workflows/claude-scheduled-autofix.yml:selectjob is pure bash +gh api, and when nothing is eligible thefirejob is skipped entirely — an empty run costs ~1 minute of free runner time. Real spend stays bounded per PR (not per run) by theAutofix-Handledmarkers +MAX_PASSES, so more runs only cut the latency between a bot comment and its fix. A PR needing 2 passes now cycles in hours instead of days. Going much denser than 3h (e.g. hourly) would be unsafe: a run could select a PR whose previous session is still in flight and hasn't posted its markers yet, firing a second session onto the same branch — the comment on the schedule documents this limit.MAX_PRSfrom 8 to 10 per run — this now caps the burst size of one run, not the daily spend. Note: cloud sessions count against the account's daily routine-run allowance; worth checking the plan covers the higher potential fire rate on top of the other routines.max-parallel: 3, 5-minute hold instead of 2 × 8 min) so a full 10-PR run fires in ~20 minutes instead of ~40, keeping each window compact.MAX_PASSESand the 2h quiet period are deliberately unchanged: they are quality controls, not throughput knobs. Theconcurrencygroup already prevents two runs from overlapping.Forum
