chore(vercel): gate preview builds on pull request readiness - #341
chore(vercel): gate preview builds on pull request readiness#341imshashank wants to merge 22 commits into
Conversation
Orbit ran 700 deployments in the 22 days after the project was created on 2026-07-28, peaking at 131 in a single day, and 77% of them were previews. Builds were $110 of the $506.93 August Vercel invoice. The Ignored Build Step now runs scripts/vercel-build-gate.sh. Production always builds; previews build once the pull request leaves draft. Work in a draft and commits stop triggering builds, then Ready for review starts them. A preview label forces builds while still drafting, a no-preview label suppresses them. Every failure path builds. A missing token, an unreachable GitHub API, a malformed response, a diff base outside the shallow clone, or system environment variables that were never exposed all fall through to a build, so the gate cannot silently withhold a deployment. Only apps/web deploys here, so the ignore command defaults BUILD_GATE_WATCH_PATHS to apps/web, packages and the root manifests: a push that only touches apps/realtime has nothing to preview. Setting the variable in project settings overrides the default. Watch paths resolve against the repository root rather than the working directory. Vercel runs the Ignored Build Step from the Root Directory, so a pathspec of apps/web evaluated from apps/web would look for apps/web/apps/web and skip everything. Verified with a stubbed curl over twelve cases, and the path filter separately from a subdirectory to match how Vercel invokes it. Refs AM-125

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change replaces the Vercel ignored-build gate with a trusted GitHub Actions controller. It validates preview eligibility, CI, repository identity, changed files, and deployment metadata before creating, reusing, polling, or canceling Vercel previews. ChangesTrusted Vercel Preview controller
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR changes preview deployment behavior and adds trusted CI orchestration, but the current head still has edge cases that can skip or abort preview reconciliation, along with a workflow permission gap that may grant broader token access than intended.

Two findings from review. The default path filter did not include tsconfig.base.json, which apps/web and every package extends. A ready pull request changing only compiler settings would have reported nothing relevant and skipped the preview, so the change would never have been exercised on Vercel. The gate also had no committed regression coverage. It decides whether a deployment happens, its exit codes are inverted, and it has already needed two corrections: failing open when system environment variables are absent, and resolving watch paths from the repository root rather than the working directory. Both were the kind of fault that silently suppresses every preview. scripts/vercel-build-gate.test.ts drives the real script with a stubbed curl on PATH and a throwaway git repository, covering production, absent metadata, no pull request, missing token, draft, ready, both labels, unreadable and empty responses, transport failure, the path filter in both directions, an unreachable and a missing diff base, and the root directory case that hid the cwd bug. The root test script now runs it, so CI does too. Refs AM-125

Both findings were right and are fixed. P1: root TypeScript config unwatchedCorrect. I checked the rest of the repository root while I was there. The remaining files are docs, P2: no regression coverageAlso correct, and the sharper version of the point is that this script has already needed two corrections, both of the exact kind that silently suppresses every preview:
Neither would fail a build. Both would quietly stop previews.

A payload of {"draft":true} passed the old check and skipped, so a truncated or
unexpected response could silently withhold a preview. Skipping is the only
direction that hides a deployment, so it now requires a well formed pull
request: a boolean draft, a positive integer number, and a labels array whose
entries all carry a string name. Anything else is unknown and builds.
Node itself needs no guarding. If it were missing the command substitution
yields an empty verdict, which the default case already treats as unevaluable
and builds.
Docs now state both label overrides in the opening rule, since preview builds a
draft and no-preview suppresses a ready pull request, and the remaining fence
carries a language.

Read this closely because an ignore command that gets it wrong stops production deploying, and this one is built the right way round: every ambiguous branch calls build, so the failure mode is a wasted build rather than a missing one. Worth listing where it fails open, because that is the property that makes it safe to land:
- system env vars not exposed
BUILD_GATE_GITHUB_TOKENunset- GitHub unreachable, or an empty body
- payload not a well formed pull request
- no diff base, not a git work tree, or the base commit missing from a shallow clone
That last group matters more than it looks. Vercel clones shallow, so VERCEL_GIT_PREVIOUS_SHA often will not be present, and the git cat-file -e guard turns that into a build rather than a crash.
Two things I checked rather than assumed:
bun test scripts is wired into the root test script in the same PR, so scripts/vercel-build-gate.test.ts actually runs in CI instead of sitting there decoratively. 15 pass locally. Worth flagging that this also unlocks testing for scripts/release-notes.ts in #333, which I have asked for there.
BUILD_GATE_WATCH_PATHS is genuinely used, at the diff check on line 95, not just set and forgotten in vercel.json.
One behaviour worth confirming rather than a defect: VERCEL_GIT_PREVIOUS_SHA is the last successfully deployed commit, not the pull request base. When the gate skips, that pointer stays put, so the next run diffs from further back and accumulated changes are still caught. That is the behaviour you want, and it is worth a line in docs/VERCEL_BUILD_GATE.md because the obvious reading is that it is the merge base.
The only failing check is Vercel itself, which fails on every pull request in this repo for the authorization reason this PR is partly about, so it proves nothing either way here.
Rollout looks safe: with BUILD_GATE_GITHUB_TOKEN unset the gate fails open and behaviour is unchanged, so this can land before the token exists and be switched on afterwards.

The gate logic is carefully fail-open, and I verified all 15 gate cases after a clean local merge of current main. Lint, typecheck, and all repository policy checks also pass in that merged state.
One end-to-end blocker remains: this PR decides whether an already-created deployment should continue, but it does not create a deployment when a draft becomes ready or when preview is added. Vercel documents automatic deployments for pushes, and documents that the Ignored Build Step runs only after a deployment enters BUILDING. Please either add an event-driven deployment trigger for ready_for_review and the label transition, or revise the workflow so the user explicitly pushes/redeploys after changing state and verify that behavior against the real integration.
Also update the operational claim: Vercel says builds canceled by an Ignored Build Step still count as full deployments and consume deployment quota/concurrent slots. This can reduce build execution cost, but it does not reduce the deployment count in the motivating metrics.
Before merge, the branch still needs current main pushed into it, a fresh complete check run with Vercel green, the pending human review, removal of the Claude attribution from the PR body, and a body update from 12 to 15 tests.

Current-head maintainer review on 5adec4bd: the repository, CI, project, deployment metadata, and mutation identity checks are strong. The branch is current with main, all hosted checks are green, Greptile is 5/5, and all review threads are resolved.
One functional blocker remains. A pushed replacement head does not trigger reconciliation, the old polling owner stops without canceling, and the new-head path lists only the new SHA. An active Preview for the prior head can therefore continue to READY. The fix needs a trusted synchronize path, cancellation of only validated active prior-head deployments for the same project, repository, PR, and ref, retention of existing READY URLs, and regression coverage.
Please also independently verify the configured Vercel project identity before mutation and correct the cancellation-reversal skip reason.
Rollout is not ready either: no repository-scoped VERCEL_TOKEN exists, organization-secret access remains unconfirmed, CodeRabbit's exact-head status says Review rate limited, and there is no human approval. I am moving this PR back to draft. It is not safe to merge yet.
Ratings: security 4/5, correctness 2/5, performance 4/5, maintainability 4/5, tests 3/5.

Exact-head verification on 618ecb67:
The prior functional review blockers are addressed. The trusted workflow now handles synchronized heads, cancels only validated active prior-head deployments for the same project, repository, pull request, and ref, retains completed Preview URLs, proves the configured Vercel project and team immediately before mutations, and reports the corrected cancellation-reversal reason. The focused regression suite is 189 passed with 526 assertions.
Hosted checks on this exact head are green: build, lint/comments/types, migrations, unit/integration, Playwright, CodeQL, and link checking. The branch is current with main, mergeable, and all eight review threads are resolved.
Keep the PR draft for rollout gates. Greptile's visible 5/5 still names prior head 5adec4bd; CodeRabbit has accepted a new review trigger but has not yet submitted an actual review on 618ecb67; there is no human approval; and VERCEL_TOKEN plus the required Vercel variables have not been confirmed. The separate local full-suite focus-contamination failure is tracked in #347.
Code status is now strong, but this is not yet authorized to merge or run the post-merge canary.

What this changes
This replaces the token-bearing Vercel Ignored Build Step with a trusted, default-branch Preview deployment controller.
mainbranches while retaining production deployments frommainmainis greenapps/web/**orpackages/**still receives a Previewcontents: readtoken and rejects job-level permission drift in the workflow contractpreviewandno-previewlabels, shared Zod schemas, controller and workflow contract tests, and an operations guideWhy
Preview builds are consuming most of this project's deployment volume. In the latest 100 Vercel deployments from August 13 through August 21, 76 were Preview and 24 were Production. Successful deployments alone recorded about 70 Preview build-minutes versus 26 Production build-minutes, before counting 25 errored deployments. Several documentation-only branches created repeated Previews.
The original ignored-step approach saved some build execution but ran a pull-request-controlled script with a GitHub token, still created a Vercel deployment for every push, and could not trigger when a draft became ready or a label changed. This design moves the decision into trusted default-branch code and creates Vercel work only after the policy and exact-head CI proof pass.
How you know it works
The final focused suite passes with 190 tests, 0 failures, and 528 assertions across the shared validators, policy, controller, and exact workflow configuration contract. The regression cases cover synchronized heads, prior-head cancellation safety, completed Preview retention, same-ref ownership transfer, configured project and team mismatch, cancellation reversal, post-CI races, rename-out changes, unsafe identifiers, request aborts, ambiguous Vercel mutations, and least-privilege CI permissions.
