Operator, 2026-09-23: *"tighten the gate so :dev can't publish on red tests"*, then *"I don't want failing builds to publish anywhere going forward."* Run 7348 is the worked example. The backend unit lane went red on `2f8f0bc` and `build-web` pushed `:dev` in the same minute, because the lanes and the build were SEPARATE WORKFLOWS on the same push trigger. Neither could see the other's verdict. `:dev` was a "it built" signal, never a "it passed" one, and nothing about that was visible from either run. Two workflows cannot express the gate. A `needs:` edge only exists inside one graph. So `ci.yml`'s five lanes move into `build.yml` and `ci.yml` is deleted; `sign-extension`, `build-web` and `build-agent` now need all five. Nothing here is a new mechanism — it is the same edge that has gated `promote` since milestone 362 step 4, and it keeps that step's hardest-won property: **not running is not the same as passing.** `needs` treats a SKIPPED dependency as unsatisfied, so a lane that silently skips itself blocks the publish exactly as a failing one does. Run 5290 is why that is worth stating. Scope, said plainly rather than implied: - Gated: every image tag (`:dev`, `:latest`, `:c-<sha>`), the weekly base refresh, and the `ext-<version>` signed-XPI release asset — `sign-extension` publishes too, so it is gated with the rest. - Not gated, deliberately: `extension.yml` publishes nothing, and `release.yml` runs on a `v*` tag, generates notes rather than an artifact, and its commit already went through main's gated build. - `pull_request` (Renovate bumps into `dev`) comes across with the lanes. Its runs are the lanes and nothing else, via an `if:` on each publishing job rather than an inference from the `needs` chain. The cost, accepted knowingly: this workflow queues per branch and never cancels, so on two pushes in quick succession the second's lint feedback waits out the first's build. A slower red beats a fast red that ships. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LVjrnpQjRgHdvq95rASoiR
