ci: retire Sentinel Gate in favor of Epic Werkflow, re-enable test CI#159
Merged
Conversation
Remove the synapse-sentinel/gate@v1 "Sentinel Gate" workflow. Coverage gating and check reporting are now handled by the Epic Werkflow GitHub App, which posts checks once repo runs go through the pipeline. Re-enable the previously disabled tests workflow (test.yml.disabled -> test.yml) as plain CI so basic test coverage is not lost during the transition. The suite was only sidelined during the Jan 2026 SQLite -> Qdrant pivot (PR #91); it runs green and hermetically today (1132 passed, 5 skipped) with no live services required.

Migrate CI from Sentinel Gate to Epic Werkflow
This repo is now tracked by Epic Werkflow (GitHub App ID
4204113, installed on theconduit-uiorg as installation144093074). This PR moves CI off the standalone "Sentinel Gate" Action and onto the Werkflow pipeline.What Sentinel Gate did (
.github/workflows/gate.yml— removed)synapse-sentinel/gate@v1(check: certify) on every push/PR tomaster.auto-merge: true,merge-method: squash) — a passing gate would squash-merge the PR automatically, with no human in the loop.Why it's being retired
Epic Werkflow replaces it. The Werkflow GitHub App posts its own checks (
checks:write/statuses:write) once repo runs go through the pipeline, so the standalone gate Action is redundant.🔴 Notable behavior change: no more auto-merge
Sentinel Gate auto-merged PRs the moment coverage passed. Werkflow's model is the opposite: Jordan reviews every PR himself and nothing merges without him. After this PR, PRs will no longer self-merge on green — that is intentional and the main behavioral change to be aware of.
test.yml.disabled→ re-enabled as plain CI (test.yml)Fate: resurrected as tests-only CI.
Investigation (git history):
test.ymlwas renamed totest.yml.disabledin PR #91 (commitd1aee3a, Jan 19 2026) — the large "AI-first semantic context engine" pivot that rewrote the app from SQLite+Eloquent to a pure Qdrant vector store and deleted 26+ obsolete test files. The workflow was sidelined amid that churn, not because the suite is broken.The suite is legit and actively maintained today — 85 test files covering the current Qdrant/hybrid-search architecture. Verified it runs green and hermetically (no live Qdrant/Ollama needed;
phpunit.xmlsetsEMBEDDING_PROVIDER=none):So it's brought back as-is: a plain tests-only workflow (
composer install+vendor/bin/pest --coverage) on push/PR. It has no gate and no auto-merge — it simply preserves basic CI coverage during the transition. Coverage-based gating is now Werkflow's responsibility, not this workflow's.Summary
