Surfaced during TST-25 acceptance verification: all CI runs on one shared
gitea-runner (maxParallel=1, co-located 10.100.0.35) interleaved with
dohertj2/lmxopcua, and Gitea 1.26 has no run cancel/delete API, so queue
latency is unbounded under cross-repo contention and the runner is a single
point of failure. Design: add a second/labelled runner; document the no-cancel
reality and the run-windev-ci.sh queue-bypass. Low/P2. Roll-ups updated.
Operator bring-up complete and the SSH-driven Windows/x86 CI tier passed
green end-to-end under Gitea Actions run #37: the Linux runner SSHed windev,
checked out the SHA in the isolated C:\build\mxaccessgw-ci clone under lock,
built the x86 Worker and ran Worker.Tests (exit 0); nightly-windev correctly
skipped on the push event. Flip TST-25/TST-26 status rows to Done and record
the bring-up + green-run evidence in the change log.
The `windows`/`live-mxaccess` CI jobs were removed in abb0930 because Gitea
act_runner host-mode on Windows is broken and a runs-on gate with no runner
wedges the queue. This left the entire x86/net48 Worker + Worker.Tests tier
(and the live-MXAccess smoke) unguarded by CI.
Restore it without a native Windows runner: Linux jobs on ubuntu-latest (which
always schedule) SSH to windev (10.100.0.48), fetch+checkout the SHA under test
in an isolated clone C:\build\mxaccessgw-ci, run the x86 build/tests there, and
propagate the remote exit code back — so a Worker regression turns the job red
and an unreachable host fails loud (never stuck).
- scripts/ci/run-windev-ci.sh: Linux driver (key/known-hosts, UTF-16LE base64
EncodedCommand bootstrap, ssh, exit-code passthrough).
- scripts/ci/windev-worker-ci.ps1: windev stage — worktree lock, re-fetch/
checkout under lock, build|test|live modes; PS 5.1-safe, checks $LASTEXITCODE.
- scripts/ci/windev.known_hosts: pinned host keys for StrictHostKeyChecking.
- scripts/ci/README.md: operator bring-up + acceptance checklist.
- ci.yml: windows-x86 (per-push `test`) + nightly-windev (scheduled `live` +
on-failure Gitea issue); drop the removal note; fix header/cron comments.
TST-26 (same commit, by rule): correct docs/scripts that still describe the
removed jobs — GatewayTesting.md, Contracts.md, check-codegen.ps1 — and
reattribute the Generated/-commit guard (primary = check-codegen diff in the
portable job; secondary = windows-x86 net48 compile).
Mechanism hand-verified on windev: build->0, bogus-SHA->nonzero (lock released),
test->356 passed/0 failed in ~50s, ssh exit-code propagation confirmed. Merge
requires operator bring-up first (dedicated ci@ key + Gitea secrets) or the
per-push job is red every push — see scripts/ci/README.md.
Six-domain re-review at the P2 merge (4f5371f): all prior Done claims
verified (none false, 10 partial), 47 new findings (1 High, 14 Medium),
with per-finding design/implementation plans and a new tracking register.
