Night Requeue
A guarded recovery desk that lets engineers resume failed GitHub Actions work without blindly restarting jobs that already passed.
The problem
When a long-running GitHub Actions workflow fails after other jobs have already passed, returning later makes a broad rerun tempting and risky. Night Requeue freezes the exact run attempt an engineer reviewed, shows the non-success and successful job boundary, and refuses the mutation if the run attempt, head SHA, eligibility, or affected job set changes before the action.
Architecture
Key decisions
Treat requeue as a fail-closed transaction
The browser never mutates while loading. A separate lever becomes available only for a completed rerunnable run with at least one affected job, a token, and an explicit attestation. Before POST, the application compares the live attempt, head SHA, and exact affected-job IDs to the reviewed snapshot.
Over-disclose the native GitHub boundary
The ticket shows every non-success job rather than pretending failure is only one conclusion. GitHub may also re-run dependent jobs under its native rerun-failed-jobs semantics; Night Requeue states that limitation instead of promising unsupported job-level control.
Prove a consequential action in production
A disposable private repository produced one successful and one deliberately failing job. The production browser loaded attempt 1, GitHub accepted the guarded action, and the run advanced to attempt 2 while the successful job stayed untouched. Ten unit/component tests, four production-browser scenarios, English-only, lint, TypeScript, build, zero high-severity dependency findings, desktop/mobile screenshots, and an independent blocker-free review supported release.
Anchor trend provenance and exact deployment
Secure radar run 20260808T214543-0700-github-star-radar-8eefb8c1 ranked PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent first daily at 2,483 stars today and 9,242 total on 2026-08-08. Night Requeue translates demand for long-running agent continuity into an original CI recovery actuator rather than cloning the source. Functional source SHA cdf982789d6abb45da7b330eae754267e1ccb463 underlies the product; release evidence SHA 3e0aadc0e4394238734e2bd17fffce021e37d8d3 received GitHub deployment 5816662059 and Ready Vercel deployment dpl_7E5u4ZShF4uAqxVMhELm8NEmTnRU after the favicon regression gate closed a production 404.
