Treat a deleted convergence owner as terminal
The hourly "Reconcile release convergence debt" job has failed every run
since 13 Oct. The v6.5.0 activation marker names convergence run
37395942598 as its owner, and that run was deleted from Actions with the
rest of the 30 Sep - 8 Oct release history. The immutable marker
outlives
Actions history, so the reconciler and release-convergence.yml both
waited
forever on an owner that can no longer be read, and the permanently red
job hid real failures such as the rc.6 paid-broker miss.
GitHub only deletes a run that has completed or is older than two weeks,
which is beyond every convergence job timeout, so a definite 404 is a
terminal owner. Both the reconciler and the successor's adoption wait
now
proceed from the validated marker in that case. Any other read failure
still waits or fails.
Also remove the workflow_run retry job. Convergence runs are dispatched
with GITHUB_TOKEN, and GitHub does not deliver workflow_run for them:
the
job fired seven times ever, each for a run an operator started by hand,
and never after 29 Aug while dozens of bot-dispatched failures were
recovered by the hourly schedule. The schedule is documented as the
retry
mechanism.
v6.5.0 is served on every surface (Docker aliases at the marker digest,
Helm index entry, paid broker, demo /api/version), but no convergence
run
has proved it. The next scheduled pass dispatches a fresh v6.5.0
convergence; its demo surface will fail until the Tailscale OAuth client
behind TS_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID/TS_OAUTH_SECRET is rotated, as it returns 401.
