Summary

A CI job sometimes starts late, and the step report cannot say why. This adds a second report that shows what the job waits for.

It lists the jobs that must finish first and counts which one finished last. It also shows the gap between that finish and the job starting.

It can start from known job numbers, so it no longer has to scan many pipelines to find the right ones.

Review Claim

Approve a read-only report that explains why a CI job started late, using GitLab data.

Review Lane

behavior

Review Unit

product-skill

Safety Invariant

It only reads Datadog and GitLab. The token comes from the environment and is never printed or saved.

Slice Rationale

This builds on the first report and shares its file, so it stacks on top. The job-number lookup is a small follow-up to the same report and rides along.

Non-goals

• No analysis of flags against run time.
• No speed-up model.
• No change to the step table.
• No writes to GitLab or Datadog.

Measured

none: this adds a new report and nothing existing to compare against

Test Plan

Test Plan

• python3 -m unittest product/skills/ci-job-timing/tests/test_ci_job_timing.py printed Ran 16 tests ... OK
• python3 engine/skills/make-pr/scripts/preflight.py --base origin/main --dry-run printed unit product-skill: 3 file(s) and ok preflight passed on the stack tip
• python3 scripts/ci/check_skills_registry.py, check_skills_three_harnesses.py, check_ecosystem_boundaries.py, check_skill_file_refs.py, check_skill_test_coverage.py --base origin/main --head HEAD, check_skill_test_debt_no_growth.py, check_skill_trigger_mechanism.py, check_no_dated_provenance.py --base origin/main, check_no_new_comments.py --base origin/main, check_hook_test_coverage.py, check_no_silent_hook_except.py, check_rules_are_wired.py and check_no_tracked_local_artifacts.py each exited 0 on both commits
• Not run: the full run every tests/ dir step. Blocker: it takes about 54 minutes and runs in CI on this pull request
• Not run: a live run against GitLab for a real job. Blocker: it needs a GitLab token, which this slice did not use
• Fixture vs live: the tests above use fixtures only; no live side effect was exercised

Revert Plan

Revert Plan

• Safe to revert? Yes
• Revert command: git revert <sha>
• Post-revert steps: None
• Data migration? No
