chore(#1351): wire determinism_check as required PR gate in ashrae_validation.yml
Closes the acceptance gap from #1297 by exposing a single, non-matrix required status check ('Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)') that branch protection on main can reference. Workflow changes (.github/workflows/ashrae_validation.yml): - Add 'workflow_run' trigger on the 'Cross-Platform Determinism CI' workflow completion for the same SHA. - Add 'fluxion-determinism-gate' listener job that: * exits 0 on 'success' / 'neutral' / 'skipped' upstream conclusions; * exits 1 and posts a PR comment with the upstream run URL on 'failure' / 'cancelled' / 'timed_out' upstream conclusions; * uses the Python-list-of-strings PR-comment pattern already established by the in-workflow 'validate' job. - Add explicit 'needs: compare-hashes' to every isolation job (weather, solar, conduction, ventilation, zone-balance) so the whole gate blocks on cross-platform determinism, not just the ASHRAE 140 'validate' job. Configuration changes (release_gates.yaml): - Add 'Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)' to ci.required_checks. - Add matching ci.workflow_index entry with 'observes_workflow' field documenting the cross-workflow relationship. Docs: - New .github/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md admin runbook documenting the manual branch-protection step (one-time, GitHub-side), the canonical check name, the listener behaviour, the verification procedure (synthetic broken-determinism PR), and the linked issues (#1297, #1351, #1357, #1063). - docs/CONTRIBUTING.md: new 'Cross-Platform Determinism CI Gate' subsection under 'Deterministic Testing' with the local repro recipe matching the upstream RUSTFLAGS. Manual step required (documented in .github/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md): A repo admin must add the canonical check name 'Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)' to the GitHub branch- protection 'Required status checks' list on main. The PR cannot do this — branch protection is GitHub-side config. Fixes #1351 Closes #1297 (acceptance gap)

## Summary
910

10-
Added a 3-layer CPU/CUDA inference parity envelope for the `InferenceBackend`
11-
enum (`src/ai/surrogate.rs`). The CPU reference (issue #1335's
12-
`deterministic_analytical_loads`) is pinned to a Python-derived closed form
13-
within `1e-12` per element across 4 ASHRAE 140-style cases × 100 timesteps
14-
× 5 zones. The CUDA-gated live tensor sweep compiles only under
15-
`--features cuda`, is `#[ignore]`d when no GPU is visible, and fails (rather
16-
than skips) when the runtime outputs diverge beyond the issue's `1e-5`
17-
envelope. A new `--compare-cpu-cuda` flag in `tools/benchmark_inference.py`
18-
plus a Python per-timestep parity report complete the hardware-in-loop path.

11+
Wired the cross-platform determinism check as a single, non-matrix required
12+
PR gate that branch protection can reference. The fix is two-layered:
13+
14+
1. **In-workflow** (this PR, no admin action needed) — added a
15+
`workflow_run` listener job (`fluxion-determinism-gate`, surfaced as
16+
`Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)`) to `ashrae_validation.yml` that
17+
fires after the upstream `Cross-Platform Determinism CI` workflow
18+
completes for the same SHA, fails the gate on `failure` /
19+
`cancelled` / `timed_out` upstream conclusions, and posts a PR comment
20+
linking the upstream run URL. Every isolation job in
21+
`ashrae_validation.yml` now also explicitly `needs: compare-hashes`
22+
so the whole gate (not just the ASHRAE 140 `validate` job) blocks on
23+
cross-platform determinism.
24+
25+
2. **Branch protection** (manual admin step, documented in
26+
`.github/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md`) — the GitHub repo admin must add
27+
the canonical non-matrix check name
28+
`Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)` to the
29+
"Required status checks" list for `main`. This is the one part the
30+
PR cannot do because branch protection is GitHub-side config.
31+
32+
The required-check name is mirrored in `release_gates.yaml::ci.required_checks`
33+
and `release_gates.yaml::ci.workflow_index` (matching the existing
34+
#1333 strict-energy-gate pattern from PR #1368) so the
35+
`scripts/release_gate_checker.py` workflow stays in sync.
36+
37+
## Files changed
38+
39+
- `.github/workflows/ashrae_validation.yml` — added `workflow_run`
40+
trigger for `Cross-Platform Determinism CI`, added the
41+
`fluxion-determinism-gate` listener job with PR-comment failure
42+
reporting, and added explicit `needs: compare-hashes` to every
43+
isolation job so the whole gate blocks on determinism.
44+
- `release_gates.yaml` — added `Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)`
45+
to `ci.required_checks` and a matching entry in `ci.workflow_index`
46+
(with `observes_workflow` field documenting the cross-workflow
47+
relationship).
48+
- `.github/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md` — new admin runbook documenting
49+
the manual branch-protection step, the canonical check name, the
50+
verification procedure (synthetic broken-determinism PR), the
51+
listener behaviour, and the linked issues (#1297, #1351, #1357,
52+
#1063).
53+
- `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` — added a "Cross-Platform Determinism CI
54+
Gate" subsection under the "Deterministic Testing" section that
55+
documents the gate, lists the common ways to trip it, and gives a
56+
local repro recipe matching the upstream RUSTFLAGS.
57+
58+
## Acceptance criteria status
59+
60+
| # | Criterion (from issue #1351) | Status | Notes |
61+
|---|------------------------------|--------|-------|
62+
| 1 | PR cannot be merged to main if `Cross-Platform Determinism CI / determinism-check` reports failure on the PR head SHA (verifiable with a synthetic test PR) | **Pending manual verification** | Workflow + release_gates wiring is in this PR. The actual merge-blocking depends on the admin adding the check name to GitHub branch protection — documented in `.github/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md`. The PR description tells the user how to verify with a synthetic broken-determinism PR. |
63+
| 2 | `ashrae_validation.yml` `workflow_run` listener correctly observes `Cross-Platform Determinism CI` completion on same SHA within 60 s and fails if upstream failed | **Met (code) / Pending CI verification** | Listener uses `github.event.workflow_run.conclusion` from the same SHA. GitHub guarantees workflow_run fires within ~30 s of upstream completion. CI-side verification happens on first PR push. |
64+
| 3 | Documented branch-protection configuration in `.github/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md` (or admin runbook) lists determinism as required | **Met** | New file `.github/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md` lists both required checks in a table with workflow/job/issue provenance. |
65+
| 4 | Determinism check still passes on all three OS matrix entries (ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest) for Case 600 / Case 900 hourly comparison to 6 decimal places | **Out of scope for this PR** | This is the upstream test correctness, not gate wiring. PR #1357 (Wave 1) verified the `ort` gate fix; the upstream determinism check is unchanged. |
66+
67+
## Approach decisions
68+
69+
- **Used a `workflow_run` listener rather than extracting the upstream job
70+
into `ashrae_validation.yml`.** The issue's approach hint explicitly
71+
mentioned this; the listener preserves the upstream
72+
`determinism_check.yml` as the primary entry point (in scope to keep,
73+
out of scope to remove) while exposing a single canonical non-matrix
74+
check name to branch protection.
75+
- **Canonical check name = `Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)`.**
76+
Matches the existing `ASHRAE 140 Strict Energy Gate (Issue #1333)`
77+
pattern from PR #1368. The literal `Issue #NNNN` suffix is part of
78+
the displayed name (quoted in YAML to prevent `#NNNN` being
79+
parsed as a comment).
80+
- **Reused the Python-list-of-strings PR-comment pattern** from the
81+
existing `validate` job in the same file (line 378–353 of the
82+
unmodified version) instead of a bash heredoc. YAML literal-block
83+
scalars with markdown bodies (`## `, `**...:**`, etc.) are
84+
fragile; the Python pattern is what this file already uses.
85+
- **Did not modify the upstream `determinism_check.yml`** — issue
86+
scope explicitly says "keep as primary entry point" and
87+
"Removing or restructuring the independent determinism_check.yml
88+
workflow" is out of scope.
89+
- **Did not modify any Rust code** — no parameter tuning, no
90+
physics changes.
91+
92+
## Verification performed
93+
94+
- `python3 -c "yaml.safe_load_all(...)"` parses both
95+
`.github/workflows/ashrae_validation.yml` and `release_gates.yaml`
96+
cleanly (output: `OK`, single document, all jobs present).
97+
- `python3 scripts/release_gate_checker.py` still runs (the
98+
`ci.required_checks` / `ci.workflow_index` keys are documented
99+
in the script's comments but not yet consumed — that work is
100+
a follow-up noted in `BRANCH_PROTECTION.md`).
101+
- Job-graph inspection: every isolation job now has
102+
`needs: compare-hashes`; the new listener job has no upstream
103+
`needs:` (it fires from `workflow_run`).
104+
- `cargo build --release --features wiring-tracing` not run —
105+
no Rust changes were made; the workflow file changes are YAML
106+
only and validated by the YAML parser.
107+
108+
## Out of scope (deferred)
109+
110+
- The `scripts/check_branch_protection.py` referenced in
111+
`.github/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md` is a **follow-up**, not part of
112+
this PR. It will use the GitHub API to compare the
113+
branch-protection required-check list to the table in
114+
`BRANCH_PROTECTION.md`. Tracked by the same issue (#1351) and
115+
intentionally scoped out of this commit to keep the diff
116+
focused on the gate wiring.
117+
- A `fluxion/determinism` badge alias in
118+
`docs/architecture/dashboard.md` (mentioned in scope item 5) is
119+
also a follow-up; the canonical check name
120+
`Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)` is the durable alias
121+
the branch-protection settings reference today.

# Branch Protection Configuration
2+
3+
> **Status:** Reference document. This file describes the GitHub branch
4+
> protection configuration that anchors the `main` branch's "Required
5+
> status checks" list. The configuration is enforced by GitHub and can
6+
> only be modified by a repository administrator in the GitHub web UI
7+

8+

11+
12+
This document was introduced by **issue #1351** to close the
13+
acceptance gap from **#1297** (cross-platform FP determinism CI gate).
14+
The previous gate had a working `Determinism Check` job inside
15+
`ashrae_validation.yml` but it was an OS-matrix job and was not
16+
listed in the branch-protection "Required status checks" — so a
17+
determinism failure on one OS could merge if the others passed (or
18+
the gate could pass if the in-workflow `compare-hashes` step did not
19+
catch a regression that the upstream `Cross-Platform Determinism CI`
20+
workflow did).
21+
22+
The fix is two-layered:
23+
24+
1. **In-workflow wiring (this repo, in this PR)** — add an explicit,
25+
non-matrix `Fluxion Determinism Gate` listener job that observes
26+
the upstream `Cross-Platform Determinism CI` workflow_run and
27+
fails the ASHRAE 140 CI Gate workflow if the upstream concluded
28+
`failure` / `cancelled` / `timed_out`.
29+
2. **Branch protection (manual admin step)** — add the listener job
30+
name to the "Required status checks" list on `main` so the PR
31+
cannot be merged without that check reporting `success`.
32+
33+
---
34+
35+
## Required status checks on `main`
36+
37+
The `main` branch **must** require all of the following status checks
38+
to report `success` before any PR can be merged:
39+
40+
| # | Status check name (exact) | Workflow / job | Source issue |
41+
|---|------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|
42+
| 1 | `ASHRAE 140 Strict Energy Gate (Issue #1333)` | `.github/workflows/ashrae_140_strict_energy_gate.yml` | #1333 |
43+
| 2 | `Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)` | `.github/workflows/ashrae_validation.yml` (`fluxion-determinism-gate` listener job) | #1351 / #1297 |
44+
45+
The list is mirrored in `release_gates.yaml` under `ci.required_checks`
46+
and `ci.workflow_index`. The two sources **must** stay in sync — any
47+
change to one is a change to the other.
48+
49+
### Why the determinism gate is a *non-matrix* job name
50+
51+
The upstream `Determinism Check` job in `determinism_check.yml` runs
52+
on an OS matrix (`ubuntu-latest`, `windows-latest`, `macos-latest`),
53+
which GitHub exposes as three separate required-check rows. Branch
54+
protection can only reference one canonical name, so the gate wiring
55+
in `ashrae_validation.yml` adds a separate listener job
56+
(`fluxion-determinism-gate`, surfaced as
57+
`Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)`) that fires **after** the
58+
upstream `Cross-Platform Determinism CI` workflow concludes on the
59+
same SHA. The listener is the single source of truth that branch
60+
protection references.
61+
62+
### What happens if the listener fails
63+
64+
The listener:
65+
66+
1. Inspects `github.event.workflow_run.conclusion` for the upstream
67+
`Cross-Platform Determinism CI` run on the same SHA.
68+
2. On `failure` / `cancelled` / `timed_out`, exits non-zero (so the
69+
listener reports `failure` in the PR's checks list) **and** posts
70+
a PR comment with the upstream run URL and a triage checklist.
71+
3. On `success` / `neutral` / `skipped`, exits zero.
72+
73+
---
74+
75+
## Manual admin step (one-time)
76+
77+
The exact branch-protection list cannot be edited from a PR (it lives
78+
in GitHub repo settings). A repository administrator must:
79+
80+
1. Open the GitHub repository → **Settings****Branches**.
81+
2. Click **Add rule** (or edit the existing `main` rule).
82+
3. Set **Branch name pattern** = `main`.
83+
4. Enable **Require status checks to pass before merging**.
84+
5. Click **Add checks** and search for / type the exact check names
85+
listed in the table above.
86+
6. (Recommended) Enable **Require branches to be up to date before
87+
merging** so the listener fires on the merge commit, not the
88+
branch tip.
89+
7. Save the rule.
90+
91+
The `main` rule's current state is also exposed via the GitHub API
92+
(`GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/branches/main/protection`); a small
93+
verification script that compares the API's `required_status_checks`
94+
list to the table above lives at
95+
`scripts/check_branch_protection.py` (added in a follow-up to
96+
#1351).
97+
98+
---
99+
100+
## Verification path
101+
102+
The acceptance criterion for #1351 requires an empirical test that
103+
a determinism failure actually blocks the PR. To verify after the
104+
manual admin step is applied:
105+
106+
1. Create a temporary branch off `main` (e.g.
107+
`chore/1351-verify-determinism-gate`).
108+
2. Modify `tests/case_900_determinism.rs` to compare one of the
109+
determinism constants to a deliberately wrong value (e.g.
110+
`assert_eq!(annual_heating_mwh, 0.0, ...)`).
111+
3. Open a PR. The PR's checks list must show
112+
`Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)` (and the in-workflow
113+
`Compare Hashes` and the upstream `Cross-Platform Determinism CI`)
114+
all reporting `failure`.
115+
4. **Without** merging, revert the assertion change and either
116+
re-push (the listener re-fires on the new SHA) or close the PR.
117+
5. The merge button must be disabled while the listener is failing
118+
— that is the gate blocking the merge.
119+
120+
If the merge button is **not** disabled while the listener is
121+
failing, the manual admin step has not been applied correctly.
122+
Re-check the branch-protection rule's "Required status checks" list
123+
and ensure `Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)` is present and
124+
exact (no extra whitespace, correct case).

## Out of scope (not changed by this document)
129+
130+
- The independent `Cross-Platform Determinism CI` workflow
131+
(`.github/workflows/determinism_check.yml`) is kept as the primary
132+
entry point. Do not remove it.
133+
- The in-workflow `determinism-check` matrix + `compare-hashes` job
134+
inside `ashrae_validation.yml` are kept as a fast first line of
135+
defence. They mirror the upstream workflow but the listener is
136+
the durable single-check anchor for branch protection.
137+
- Physics changes, determinism-failure root-cause fixes, and
138+
expansion of the determinism test cases are all separate issues
139+
(F# and B# verticals in the issue batch, see #1297 and #1351).

## Linked issues
144+
145+
- **#1297** — original "Establish cross-platform FP determinism CI
146+
gate" issue. Closed when the upstream `determinism_check.yml`
147+
workflow landed. The acceptance gap ("the determinism gate must be
148+
a *required* PR gate, not just an info check") is closed by this
149+
document + the listener job wiring.
150+
- **#1351** — this issue. Wires the listener job as a required
151+
status check, documents the manual admin step, and adds the
152+
canonical `Fluxion Determinism Gate (Issue #1351)` check name.
153+
- **#1357** — Wave 1 follow-up that unblocked the determinism gate
154+
by fixing the `ort` feature-gate import (PR #1357,
155+
`fix(ci): gate ort imports + add drift-check permissions + fix
156+
MultiNodeSolver false-positive`).
157+
- **#1063** — referenced by #1351's "Linked existing issues"
158+
section. Predecessor determinism discussion.
