This label survives synchronize events. Once a PR is labeled, the author can push another commit and have unreviewed code run on the self-hosted runner. Can we clear the label on every synchronize event and require approval again for the new SHA?

Agreed. The label must approve a specific PR SHA, not the PR indefinitely. We will clear needs-gpu-ci on every synchronize event and run the GPU job only when the label is explicitly reapplied, requiring approval for each new commit.

Could we avoid running PR-controlled code directly on a persistent self-hosted runner? A worktree, venv, and CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES don't sandbox the process, so PR code can still access the host, other jobs, and other GPUs. This should use a disposable runner/VM with real OS-level isolation.

Agreed. A worktree, venv, and CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES do not provide host isolation. We will not run PR-controlled code directly on the persistent H100 runner. Until a disposable VM/runner is available, the persistent runner will be restricted to post-merge main validation.

It looks like this new workflow hasn't actually run in GitHub Actions yet. The current GPU checks still use the old RunPod matrix and deleted RunPod steps.

Correct. Since this uses pull_request_target, this PR is still using the workflow from the base branch, so the existing runs are the old RunPod workflow and do not validate this change. After the isolated runner setup is in place, we will validate the new workflow with a controlled test PR.

# This label must be attached to the local eight-H100-SXM runner fleet.
# Multiple runner agents may share one host; ci/run_gpu_ci.sh arbitrates
# the four physical two-GPU pairs on that host.

Require approval for every pull request revision.

pull_request_target triggers this job on synchronize, and the persistent needs-gpu-ci label gates every run. ci/run_gpu_ci.sh fetches the PR revision, installs it with pip install -e, and runs its tests on the self-hosted runner. A later fork commit can therefore execute without new approval.

Add a required-reviewer environment and remove needs-gpu-ci on every synchronize event. The current contents: read permission does not protect the runner host from untrusted test code.
