Follow-up on FE-1932. Adds the integration check that would have caught the outage, and a flag that hides the demo cleanly instead of deleting it.

Current live status of the 404

Still broken, and comfy-router#39 is the only reason. The router fix is merged (9d52ea1) but its deploy job is workflow_dispatch-only and has never been run — production is still on ea7007a.

Target Result
comfy.org/api/workflows/minimax-h3-multiref/queue 404, x-served-by: vercel-website
workflow-templates.vercel.app/... (same app, direct) 200

The x-served-by header is the proof: the request is still reaching the marketing origin. Everything else is healthy — I submitted a real job through the Vercel origin end to end (submit → poll → cancel, all 200), and the CDN reference images from #1208 all serve 200.

A second bug is queued up behind the 404. Astro's CSRF guard compares the browser's Origin against its own computed origin. Behind the router those differ, so the demo's multipart POST is rejected:

POST .../run  Origin: https://workflow-templates.vercel.app  -> 200 {"jobId":...}
POST .../run  Origin: https://comfy.org                      -> 403 Cross-site POST form submissions are forbidden

Deploying the router alone would have turned the 404 into a 403. This PR fixes that with security.allowedDomains (hostname-only — adding protocol makes Astro drop X-Forwarded-Proto and fall back to http, which still fails). Verified against Astro's own validator, including that comfy.org.evil.com is still rejected.

This one hop is unproven end-to-end and can't be until the router ships: whether Vercel's edge forwards comfy-router's X-Forwarded-Host unmodified is only observable in production. When the router deploys, the first red run will still say 404 — that's the router, not this fix. Confirm with one POST before turning the flag on.

1–2. The integration test, and what it says right now

site/tests/integration/minimax-h3-demo.test.ts drives the same four calls the page makes, against a real deployment: queue readout → submit three references → poll → cancel. It sends a browser-shaped request — real Origin header, real image bytes fetched from the CDN, multipart/form-data — because each of those is what one of the three known regressions turned on. It cancels the job in afterAll, so it costs seconds of GPU, not a full render.

$ pnpm test:integration                      # -> comfy.org
  ✓ serves the demo page
  ✓ serves the reference images the page uploads
  × answers the queue readout as JSON
  × accepts a three-reference submission
  Tests  2 failed | 2 passed | 2 skipped

  AssertionError: /queue returned 404. The request did not reach the hub app.
  The edge router (comfy-router) forwards /workflows/* but must also forward
  /api/workflows/* to the workflows origin — this is the FE-1932 failure exactly.

$ DEMO_BASE_URL=https://workflow-templates.vercel.app pnpm test:integration
  Tests  6 passed (6)     # 8.6s, real job submitted and cancelled

It is red on production and green on the origin behind it — which is the isolation proof. Kept out of pnpm test, which stays hermetic and offline.

3 + 5. CI: switch the feature off, don't block the release

.github/workflows/minimax-demo-integration.yml runs every 6h, after each site deploy, and on demand. On failure it flips the flag off, commits, and posts to Slack using the chat.postMessage + jq -e '.ok == true' pattern from ComfyUI_frontend. It never fails the job — the demo's backend is private beta behind a pre-alpha router, and a red check there must not hold up unrelated template releases. "Blocking the deploy" happens by shipping the feature off, not by blocking the pipeline.

Recovery is not automatic: a green run only reports that the demo could go back on. Alert-fatigue matters here — "healthy while switched off" is the shipped steady state, so recovery is only announced on manual dispatches; scheduled runs put it in the step summary.

Needs secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and vars.SLACK_HUB_ALERTS_CHANNEL_ID added to this repo. Both are optional at runtime — the step warns and skips, so the flag flip still happens.

Deliberately not included: the flip does not trigger a production deploy itself. It reaches users on the next site build, and the Slack message says so with a one-click link to run Deploy Template Site. Letting an automated health check deploy the worker in front of all of comfy.org is exactly the blast radius this thread has been careful about — that should be someone's explicit call.

4. The flag, and the static fallback

site/src/data/experiment-flags.json is repo-owned and read at build time, so the disabled branch is absent from the emitted HTML rather than hidden by client JS — crawlers and users get identical bytes. Verified on real build output:

flag off flag on
/workflows/index.html contains the promo 0 occurrences 1
demo page ships the MiniMaxH3Demo island 0 1
<meta name="robots"> noindex noindex

The demo page is also no longer prerender = false — nothing in its frontmatter needs a request, so it's now statically generated (the API routes keep theirs).

noindex is held constant in both states and deliberately not wired to the flag: the flag flips unattended on backend downtime, and indexability that flaps with uptime teaches crawlers the URL is unreliable — worse than never indexing it.

Off state serves a fallback shaped like a normal template page, with CTAs that go somewhere that works (screenshots below).

6. SEO / conversion review

The demo page is noindex, so it earns no ranking at all — the thing it was partly there to do. The real cost is on /workflows, which is indexed:

  • The promo sits between the hero and the search grid. Measured on live comfy.org at 1440×1000: it pushes the search bar to y=1261 — below the fold. With it gated, search sits at y=861, above the fold.
  • Its "Try MiniMax H3" button is a second solid-brand CTA, matching the tracked Cloud CTA in visual weight, competing for the same click.
  • It carries no utm_* and no data-* — I confirmed on the live page. PostHog runs autocapture: false and tracks only by delegation on specific hooks, so every click into the demo is invisible in the funnel. We can't even measure the diversion.

That last one is fixed here: internal experiment entry points now fire hub:experiment_cta_clicked, the fallback's outbound Cloud CTA carries run-cloud-btn, and unit tests assert the hooks are on the elements.

Note: PR #1209, which was meant to remove this promo, was never merged — the promo is still live today. This PR supersedes it by gating rather than deleting.

7. Policy doc

site/docs/shipping-experiments-policy.md — four rules and a checklist for putting unpolished surfaces in front of traffic: don't take a primary CTA slot, don't cannibalize keywords or nav targets, instrument it or you're guessing, ship it behind a flag with a health check that flips it. Placed here because site/ already owns the hub's seo-setup-guide.md and ab-testing-guide.md, and there is no dedicated marketing-docs repo (docs/ is the user-facing product site).

It records that this promo knowingly violates its own Rule 1 and must satisfy it before the flag goes back on — rather than shipping a rule whose worked example fails it.

Verification

  • pnpm test — 779 passing (59 files), incl. 4 new
  • pnpm lint — clean; pnpm run check — 0 errors, 0 warnings
  • prettier --check — clean on all touched site/ files (format:check fails identically on main; pre-existing)
  • Real astro build in both flag states, output greped; both pages driven in a browser
  • Integration suite run against both origins; reason-extraction checked against 404, fetch failed, and TimeoutError
  • Four rounds of deep-reviewer; final verdict PASS/ship. Fixed along the way: the protocol key that silently defeated the CSRF fix, a recovery alert that would have posted 4×/day forever, a kill switch that failed silently, and an override guard whose test asserted a property nothing enforced.

The flag ships off, so merging this hides the demo immediately — which answers the "should we just take this down" question without deleting the work.

Screenshots

The demo page with the flag off: static fallback with preview video, reference thumbnails, and Open Comfy Cloud / Browse all workflows CTAs

The /workflows hub index with the promo gated off - search and browse now sit in the first viewport

@coderabbitai review

Triggering a manual review — this is a draft, so it was skipped by default.

Worth a look in particular:

  • .github/workflows/minimax-demo-integration.yml — step conditions (outcome vs conclusion under continue-on-error), and shell quoting: every untrusted value, including an origin server's response body and the workflow_dispatch input, is routed through env: rather than ${{ }}-interpolated into a run: body.
  • site/astro.config.mjssecurity.allowedDomains is hostname-only on purpose. Adding protocol makes Astro validate the forwarded scheme by matching <proto>://example.com against the full pattern, which a hostname pattern can never satisfy, so X-Forwarded-Proto gets dropped and the origin falls back to http.
  • site/src/config/experimentFlags.ts — the gate is read in .astro frontmatter only, so the disabled branch is absent from the emitted HTML rather than hidden at runtime.

No code changes were made in response to the draft notice itself.

TL;DR: lens pass found this review-ready on code evidence, with no new blocking code finding from the current diff surface.
Current blockers are REVIEW_REQUIRED and external proof that the router/deploy path is actually serving the gated demo path. The skipped E2E/Lighthouse/visual jobs are path-filter skips, so they should not be counted as browser-journey evidence for the demo.

Full context for agent readers

Checked current PR state at head e5da30c06eb3e6b7bc9bd7d6372c17838946fde4: open, non-draft, mergeable, mergeStateStatus=BLOCKED, reviewDecision=REVIEW_REQUIRED. The diff carries permanent coverage in site/tests/integration/minimax-h3-demo.test.ts, site/tests/unit/experiment-flags.test.ts, and site/tests/unit/posthog.test.ts, plus the new minimax-demo-integration.yml workflow, so the tests-as-permanent requirement is satisfied for the flag/demo behavior in the PR itself.

Readiness gap: the PR body says the live 404 still depends on the router/deploy path, and the current checks show E2E Tests, Visual Regression, and Lighthouse variants skipped. Before treating this as merge-ready, the PR should have either owner review plus a fresh router/deploy receipt in the thread, or an explicit note that this PR intentionally ships only the off-by-default guard while router production proof is tracked elsewhere.

Thanks for the approval @christian-byrne. It came through with an empty body and no inline comments, so there was no code feedback to action — but in going back over this I found something that I think outranks the diff: this PR is now obsolete, and merging it would be a small regression. Flagging rather than pushing a change.

The premise is gone

This PR exists for one reason: "Run" on the MiniMax H3 demo 404s, so unlink the promo until it's fixed. Both root causes were fixed on main while this sat open:

PR Merged Fix
#1213 Aug 29 Moved the API routes /api/workflows/.../workflows/api/... so comfy-router's /workflows/* rule catches them, plus a vercel.json no-store rule
#1215 Aug 31 Replaced Astro's checkOrigin with an explicit crossSiteRejection allowlist, fixing the 403 that was queued up behind the 404

Both landed before the approval timestamp, so I suspect they just weren't on the radar.

Verified against production, not inferred

I loaded comfy.org/workflows/minimax-h3-multiref/ in a real browser and submitted an actual job (1d5c8607-4bae-4e8c-96b1-360bf0835103):

POST /workflows/api/minimax-h3-multiref/run/        -> 200   (jobId returned)
GET  /workflows/api/minimax-h3-multiref/job/{id}/   -> 200   (status polling)
DELETE /workflows/api/minimax-h3-multiref/job/{id}/ -> 200   -> status: "canceled"

The UI went straight to "Generating… 1s" with a live progress bar and a working Cancel — no 404, no 403. I cancelled it so nothing is holding a GPU. The old path still 404s (x-served-by: vercel-website), which is exactly the bug #1213 fixed by not using it anymore.

The promo itself is also live and healthy on the hub right now — the nightly cron picked up #1208, so the video and poster serve from media.comfy.org:

What merging would actually do

The promo is the demo page's only entry point (it's noindex and excluded from the sitemap). So merging this now takes a working demo and makes it unreachable from the site. That's the opposite of what the PR was for.

Recommendation

Close this without merging, and move FE-1932 out of Triage — the reported symptom is fixed in production.

If the concern is "what if it breaks again", the durable answer is your #1214 (flag + integration check that switches the demo off automatically) rather than a hard-coded removal like this one. Worth noting #1214 is currently conflicted (mergeable_state: dirty) and its diagnosis section is now partly stale, since Robin fixed both bugs differently than that PR proposed — routes relocated instead of deploying comfy-router, and a custom origin allowlist instead of security.allowedDomains. It'd need a rebase and a rewrite of that section before it's mergeable.

One unrelated loose end I noticed while testing: the queue endpoint returns {"available":false,"reason":"COMFY_DEPLOY_API_URL is not set"}, so the "N jobs queued" badge never renders in prod. It's cosmetic and non-blocking by design (the run path uses the hard-coded whitelisted DEPLOYMENT_URL and is unaffected), but somebody may want to set that env var.

Happy to close this out myself, or to rebase #1214 instead — say the word.

Two blockers.

Context first, because it causes the first one: #1213 and #1215 both merged while this was open, so the 404 and the 403 this PR diagnoses are already fixed in production. I checked today: POST /workflows/api/minimax-h3-multiref/run returns 400 with Origin: comfy.org and 403 with Origin: evil.com.

1. The integration check points at a path that no longer exists

#1213 moved the routes to /workflows/api/.... The test still builds its base as /api/workflows/..., which is a hard 404 on both origins, with no redirect and no rewrite in either vercel.json. The merged tree contains only site/src/pages/workflows/api/minimax-h3-multiref/*, so after the rebase this check can never pass anywhere.

Two knock-ons worth knowing:

  • The test file is not in the conflict set, so the rebase will not surface this for you.
  • The failure prints the FE-1932 router diagnosis, so the recorded reason will be wrong.

The app itself is fine. The merge takes main's MiniMaxH3Demo.vue, which already calls the new paths. It is only the test.

2. The kill switch cannot push to main

git push origin HEAD:main is rejected by ruleset 9388637 on main: pull_request rule, required_approving_review_count: 1, bypass_actors empty, current_user_can_bypass: never. That is the rule rather than a race, so the git reset --hard origin/main retry loop below cannot recover it. 25 of the last 25 commits on main went through a PR.

Every other automation in this repo already works around it. i18n-update-hub.yml pushes a branch and opens a PR; sync-template-index.yml and generate-upload-json.yml push to a PR head. None pushes to main.

So as written the flip never lands and "switches itself off" degrades to a Slack message asking a human to do it. It fails loudly rather than silently, so it is not dangerous, but it never does its main job. Fix is to open a PR like the siblings, or add a bypass actor to the ruleset.

Dead after the rebase. #1213 moved these routes to /workflows/api/minimax-h3-multiref. This base 404s on comfy.org and on workflow-templates.vercel.app, and nothing maps the old path (no redirects or rewrites key in either vercel.json).

This file is not in the conflict set, so the rebase will not flag it. The 404 branch of diagnose() also needs revisiting once the base moves, since it hardcodes the FE-1932 router explanation.

Confirmed and fixed. Rebased onto main and retargeted the base to /workflows/api/minimax-h3-multiref.

Your 404 reproduces exactly:

URL comfy.org vercel.app
/api/workflows/minimax-h3-multiref/queue 404 404
/workflows/api/minimax-h3-multiref/queue 301 → /queue/ 200

You were also right that it reaches past the base. Three further things were stale:

One thing the retarget surfaced that I'd have shipped as a false red. comfy.org redirects the slashless form (301 GET, 308 POST/DELETE), and Node's fetch does not re-send the multipart Content-Type boundary across it:

POST .../run   → 400 redirected=true   {"error":"Expected multipart/form-data: Failed to parse body as FormData."}
POST .../run/  → 400 redirected=false  {"error":"Reference 2 is missing from the upload."}   ← handler ran

Browsers replay the body across a 308, so the page is fine — but the check would have gone red on a healthy demo and switched it off. Endpoints are now requested with the trailing slash, and a guard asserts the submit was not redirected. Since that means the suite drives the second hop, there are now probes pinning the first: the slashless GET must resolve or redirect to the slashed form, and the slashless POST must answer a method-preserving 308 (a 301 would downgrade every visitor's submit to a bodyless GET).

Verified end-to-end against production — 9/9 green, including submit, poll and cancel.

Separately, and not something this PR changes: /queue reports {"available":false,"reason":"COMFY_DEPLOY_API_URL is not set"} on both origins, so the deploy control plane's URL is unset in production. Submissions work regardless, but it means the queue readout carries no worker census. That matters here because it was tempting to use the census to distinguish "job queued behind a cold start" from "job queued behind nothing" — it can't, so the check requires the job to actually leave queued within a 240s window instead.

This push is rejected by ruleset 9388637 on main (pull_request, 1 approval, bypass_actors empty). It is the rule, not a race, so the retry loop below cannot recover it.

i18n-update-hub.yml, sync-template-index.yml and generate-upload-json.yml all push a branch and open a PR instead. Same shape would work here.

You're right, and the retry loop was worse than useless — it made a rule look like a race. Confirmed against the API:

GET /repos/Comfy-Org/workflow_templates/rules/branches/main
  → pull_request { required_approving_review_count: 1 }, deletion, non_fast_forward
     ruleset_id 9388637 · "Main branch protection" · enforcement: active · bypass_actors: null

Adopted the i18n-update-hub.yml shape: commit to a stable ci/minimax-demo-kill-switch branch, push, then reuse the open PR or create one. The retry-and-reset loop is gone.

Three follow-on things I had to fix to make that honest:

  1. Re-alert storm. With a PR pending, main still says the flag is on, so the old changed == 'true' condition would have re-pinged Slack every 6 hours until someone merged. Slack now keys on having opened the PR; a run that finds one already open exits without pushing, so there's no branch churn either.

  2. The --force-with-lease was fake. I originally wrote git fetch origin "$BRANCH" then a bare --force-with-lease — but the fetch refreshes refs/remotes/origin/$BRANCH, which is the very ref the lease checks, so it always matches. Proved it in a scratch repo:

    stale explicit lease  → REJECTED (lease works)
    bare lease after fetch → ACCEPTED (degraded to --force)
    

    Now captures the sha via git ls-remote first and passes it explicitly; an empty value means "must not already exist", which is the right expectation for the create.

  3. The docs were claiming something untrue. Both the workflow header and Rule 4 of the policy doc said a health check switches a surface off unattended. It can't — and not only because of the ruleset: the flag is read at build time, so even a merged flip only reaches users on the next site build. Both now say the automation prepares the flip and a human merges and deploys.

One correction to the framing, though — the gate can't key on the flag in the repo at all. main and production legitimately disagree between a merge and the deploy that ships it, which made the kill switch wrong in both directions: it would revert a flag someone had just turned on but not yet shipped, and stay silent when main said off while production still served a broken runner. The page spec now emits DEMO_RUNNER_LIVE, and the flip is gated on what a visitor is actually being shown. That's also self-limiting — once the fallback ships, it stops firing.

Verified: actionlint + shellcheck clean, and the Summarize extraction exercised on synthetic logs for the runner-live, fallback and page-unreachable cases (the last leaves the switch disarmed but now still alerts — a flag can't fix a missing page, but silence was the wrong answer).

Known gap, not fixed here: if a kill-switch PR is already open and a different outage starts, the run stays quiet and the recorded reason keeps the older diagnosis. The PR sitting in the queue is still actionable and each run's step summary carries the fresh diagnosis, so I've left it rather than add unreviewed logic to this file — happy to do it here if you'd prefer.

…n integration health check

The demo's Run Workflow has returned 404 on comfy.org since it shipped
(FE-1932). comfy-router#39 added the missing /api/workflows/ rule and is
merged, but its deploy job is workflow_dispatch-only and has not been run, so
production still routes those calls to the marketing origin.

Nothing tested the path end to end, so a five-day outage was found by a person
clicking the button. This adds the missing check and a way to fail safe.

Integration test (site/tests/integration) drives the real user path against a
real deployment: queue readout, three-reference submit, poll, cancel. It sends
a browser-shaped request — real Origin header, real CDN image bytes,
multipart/form-data — because each of those is what one of the known
regressions turned on. Kept out of `pnpm test`, which stays hermetic.

Experiment flag (site/src/data/experiment-flags.json) is repo-owned and read at
build time, so the disabled branch is absent from the emitted HTML rather than
hidden by client JS: crawlers and users get the same bytes. Off means the page
serves a static fallback shaped like a normal template page, with CTAs that go
somewhere that works, and the hub index drops the promo entirely.

The demo page is also no longer `prerender = false`; nothing in its frontmatter
needs a request, so it is now statically generated.

CI (minimax-demo-integration.yml) runs the test on a schedule and after each
site deploy. On failure it switches the flag off, commits, and posts to Slack
using the chat.postMessage pattern from ComfyUI_frontend. It never fails the
job: the demo's backend is private beta behind a pre-alpha router, and a red
check there must not hold up unrelated template releases. Recovery is not
automatic — a green run only reports that the demo could be switched back on.

security.allowedDomains names comfy.org so Astro trusts the X-Forwarded-Host
the router already sends. Without it the CSRF guard compares the browser's
`Origin: https://comfy.org` against the proxied host and rejects the demo's
multipart POST with 403 — the next failure waiting behind the 404.

Also adds docs/shipping-experiments-policy.md, the cross-team rules for putting
unpolished surfaces in front of traffic without damaging GTM metrics.

Refs FE-1932
Review found the allowlist did not do what it claimed, and that the alerting
around the kill switch was inverted.

security.allowedDomains carried `protocol: 'https'`. Astro validates a
forwarded protocol by matching `<proto>://example.com` against the patterns in
full, so a pattern with a hostname can never match: X-Forwarded-Proto was
dropped and the origin fell back to the socket scheme — `http` on Vercel, where
TLS terminates at the edge. That yields `http://comfy.org`, which still fails
the Origin comparison, so the 403 the block existed to prevent would have
survived. Hostname-only patterns return {protocol, host} and match. Verified
against Astro's own validator, including that `comfy.org.evil.com` is still
rejected.

The workflow announced recovery whenever the test passed while the flag was
off, which is the shipped steady state — that is 4 posts a day, forever. It is
now edge-triggered: scheduled runs report recovery only in the step summary.

The kill switch could also fail silently. `Switch the demo off` had no
continue-on-error, so a failure there reddened the job and skipped the Slack
step — no message at exactly the moment the demo is broken AND stuck on. It now
continues, and Slack has an arm that says so.

A workflow_dispatch against a preview origin could flip the production flag;
the disable step now requires the tested origin to be production.

Integration test: record the job id before asserting on status, so an
unexpected status cannot leak a live GPU job past the cancel hook. Narrow
HEALTHY_STATUSES to the three JobStatus values that mean "accepted and
progressing" — it previously listed four statuses the server never emits while
omitting real ones. diagnose() no longer explains a page 404 in terms of the
API router rule.

Fallback CTA said "Run it in Comfy Cloud" but getCloudLandingUrl carries no
workflow identifier, so it lands on the Cloud home page; relabelled to match,
and both CTAs no longer overflow their buttons. Added the data-* attributes the
policy's own Rule 3 requires to the promo and fallback CTAs — the live promo
has neither UTM nor data attributes, so clicks into the demo are currently
invisible in the funnel.

Refs FE-1932
… honest

Second review round. Three of these were self-certifying: code and a new policy
document asserted guarantees the code did not provide.

Analytics. PostHog runs with autocapture off and tracks only by delegation on
specific hooks in PostHogAnalytics.astro, so the `data-experiment` attributes
added in the previous commit were read by nothing — while a comment beside them
claimed "existing click tracking picks the promo up", and the policy document
added in the same branch used this page as its worked example for Rule 3. It
failed its own rule. There is now a real delegate: internal experiment entry
points fire `hub:experiment_cta_clicked` via `data-experiment`, and the
fallback's outbound Cloud CTA carries `run-cloud-btn` so it reports as a signup
CTA. Both are locked by unit tests, and Rule 3 now states how tracking actually
works rather than assuming attributes are enough.

Failure reason. The extraction matched only `AssertionError:`, so a down origin
— which fails as `TypeError: fetch failed` before any assertion runs, and is
the most likely outage given the backend is private beta — fell through to a
downstream cascade guard and recorded "no job was submitted, so there is
nothing to poll". That string is posted to Slack and committed into
experiment-flags.json as the flag's permanent reason, so it would have written
a confident wrong diagnosis into git history. The pattern now matches thrown
errors too, and the poll/cancel specs skip instead of manufacturing decoy
assertions. Verified against both an unreachable origin and the live 404.

Kill switch. envOverride was consulted in production builds, so a stray
variable in Vercel settings would outrank the committed JSON: CI would switch
the demo off, commit, and announce it, while the next build kept serving it. It
is now ignored when VERCEL_ENV=production, and warns in the deploy log
otherwise.

A hand-run dispatch that failed was silent and green — the operator's main path
in the shipped flag-off state. It now always reports.

Also: route steps.flag.outputs.enabled through env: rather than interpolating
it into the Slack shell script, the one place the file broke its own rule;
correct the allowedDomains comment, which claimed Astro drops X-Forwarded-Proto
when it is in fact honoured with an empty allowlist; drop "Live workflow" and
"run the workflow" from the disabled page, which promised a runner three
sections above copy saying it is off; and single-source the example media URLs
in mmh3/config.ts so the health check cannot pass against URLs the site no
longer uses.

The explanatory notes in MiniMaxPromo are now {/* */} rather than <!-- -->:
Astro emits HTML comments verbatim, so internal analytics notes were being
served to every visitor. A test asserts the component ships none.

Refs FE-1932
…tching

Third review round. All remaining items were MINOR or NITPICK; the verdict was
PASS. Two are worth the change anyway because both were self-certifying.

The override guard tested VERCEL_ENV === 'production'. This project deploys
--prebuilt from a GitHub runner with Vercel's Git integration disabled
(site/vercel.json), so VERCEL_ENV is never set while the site is being built:
the guard was unreachable and its unit test asserted a property nothing
enforced — the exact failure the previous commit set out to remove. It now
reads EXPERIMENT_OVERRIDES, which deploy-site.yml and cron-rebuild-site.yml set
to `deny` on the production build step, and the test exercises that.

The failure-reason pattern matched a fixed list of error names, so a hung
origin — the Cloudflare-524 shape, plausible for a pre-alpha worker — throws
TimeoutError from the test's AbortSignal and fell through to the generic
fallback. It now matches any *Error and DOMException; checked against all four
shapes, and against a log line that merely contains the word Error.

Also: the hub index's gating comment was <!-- -->, which Astro serves to every
visitor; converted to {/* */} like the rest. The flag script now removes its
temp file in a finally, so a crash between write and rename cannot leave an
untracked sibling of a tracked file. The [data-experiment] delegate moved below
the download and share hooks — it is the only ancestor-matching attribute
selector in the chain and would otherwise swallow a more specific event from a
control an experiment wrapped.

The policy document now records that this promo knowingly violates its own
Rule 1 and must satisfy it before the flag goes back on, rather than shipping a
rule its worked example fails.

Refs FE-1932
CodeRabbit caught a real race. The integration test takes minutes — a submit
round trip is ~7s and the poll window is 45s — so main can advance while it
runs, and the push to main is then rejected non-fast-forward. The step is
continue-on-error, so the rejection was tolerated and the broken demo stayed
enabled until a human acted on the Slack ping. That defeats the point of a kill
switch: it exists so a broken demo goes off *without* waiting for a human.

On rejection the step now fetches main, resets to it, reapplies the flag
mutation and retries, up to three times. If the refreshed main already has the
demo off — a concurrent flip, or an earlier attempt that actually landed — it
exits cleanly rather than committing a duplicate.

Verified against a local remote with a genuine stale checkout:
  - main advanced by an unrelated commit -> landed on attempt 2, the other
    commit preserved, enabled:false applied on top
  - main already had the demo off        -> "nothing to push", no duplicate

`git reset --hard` is safe in this one place: an ephemeral runner whose only
local change is the commit just made, reapplied deterministically right after.

Exhausting all three attempts still exits non-zero, so the existing Slack arm
continues to report that the demo is stuck on.

Refs FE-1932
…assignment

ShellCheck SC1007 flags a bare `VAR= cmd`, since a trailing space after `=`
is more often a typo than a deliberate prefix assignment. Behaviour is
unchanged — the flag script guards on `if (process.env.GITHUB_OUTPUT)` and an
empty string is falsy either way, verified both forms — but the explicit ''
says which one was meant.

All six run blocks in this workflow are now shellcheck-clean.

Refs FE-1932
…ip the flag

Two review findings, both confirmed against the live repo and origins.

The integration check still built its base as /api/workflows/*. #1213 moved
those routes to /workflows/api/*, so the base 404s on comfy.org and on the
Vercel origin with nothing mapping the old path — the check could never pass.
Retargeted, and the diagnoses it prints go with it: the 404 branch no longer
blames a missing router rule for /api/workflows/* (that prefix is the point of
#1213), and the 403 branch names crossSiteRejection() in mmh3/server.ts rather
than security.allowedDomains, which #1215 replaced with checkOrigin: false.

Endpoints are now requested with a trailing slash. comfy.org redirects the
slashless form (301 GET, 308 POST/DELETE) and Node's fetch does not re-send the
multipart Content-Type boundary across it, so the submit arrived unparseable and
the origin answered 400 — a false red on a healthy demo, from a check whose job
is switching the demo off. A guard asserts the submit was not redirected.

The kill switch pushed to main, which ruleset 9388637 rejects: pull_request
rule, one approval, no bypass actors. It is the rule rather than a race, so the
retry loop could not recover it. It now commits to ci/minimax-demo-kill-switch
and opens a PR, matching i18n-update-hub.yml. Slack keys on having opened the
PR rather than on the flag still being on, because the flag stays on until
someone merges and the old condition would re-alert every 6 hours.

Rebased onto main, dropping this branch's security.allowedDomains in favour of
#1215's checkOrigin: false plus the route-level allowlist; astro.config.mjs is
now identical to main. Rule 4 of the experiments policy no longer claims a
health check can take a surface down unattended — main needs a PR, and the flag
is read at build time, so a deploy was always required.

Verified: full integration suite green against production comfy.org (submit,
poll and cancel included), lint, 892 unit tests, astro check 0 errors,
actionlint + shellcheck clean, and a flag-off build leaks no promo markup.
…n demo green

Review of the previous commit found the check could pass while the demo was
unusable. Each of these is a channel it was blind to.

A job that is accepted and then never runs satisfied every assertion: `queued`
is in HEALTHY_STATUSES, so the poll loop ran out its window and passed. That is
what a deployment with no live worker looks like — the likeliest way this demo
breaks. The poll now requires the job to leave `queued` or its queue position to
move, so a real backlog still passes but a stall does not, and the window grew
to 120s so a cold start cannot go red.

Cancel asserted only a 200, which is the control plane accepting the request
rather than the job stopping, and then cleared the job id unconditionally —
disarming the afterAll hook on exactly the runs where a GPU job was still
alive. It now requires `canceling` or `canceled` before releasing it. The job id
is also claimed before the submit assertions rather than after, so a throw
cannot strand a running job.

The CDN spec read the reference bytes from Node, where CORS is not enforced, so
assets a browser would refuse still passed. It now sends an Origin and asserts
access-control-allow-origin, and covers the agent prompt the page also reads
cross-origin.

Driving the slashed URL form left the slashless one — the form the page actually
requests — untested, so /queue/ answering while /queue 404s would have read as
healthy: FE-1932 again, one redirect over. A probe now pins that hop.

Also: the page spec could not tell a working demo from its static fallback, so
it now checks the island against the committed flag, which catches both a runner
that failed to build and a gate that leaked one. The kill switch's
--force-with-lease was preceded by a fetch of the same branch, which refreshes
the very ref the lease checks and silently degrades it to --force; it now names
the sha explicitly. Missing Slack credentials are now an error rather than a
warning when there was an outage to announce. Idempotent specs retry twice so a
single CDN blip cannot prepare a kill switch. Header, policy recipe and Rule 3
checklist corrected where they contradicted the code.

Verified against production comfy.org: 7/7 green with the flag state matching
what is deployed, and the new page assertion correctly red when it does not.
Redirect probe exercised on both origins. lint, 892 unit tests, astro check,
actionlint and shellcheck all clean.
…working

Second review round. Two of these would have switched a healthy demo off, and
one of them was introduced by the previous commit.

The poll window was still 45s while the config comment and the commit message
both claimed 120s, and the "did it move" test was `positions.size > 1` over a
queue position that is a constant for a single job and `null` whenever the
route's secondary read throws. So a cold video worker — the normal state for a
6-hourly check — could not satisfy it, and CI would open a kill-switch PR
against a demo whose only fault was starting slowly. The window is now really
120s, and a job still queued at the end is judged on the deployment's worker
census: red only when nothing exists that could run it, inconclusive-and-green
when the readout will not say. Guessing red is the expensive direction when the
verdict flips a user-visible switch.

DEMO_EXPECTED_ENABLED compared production against the flag committed on main.
Those legitimately disagree from the moment a flag change merges until the
deploy that ships it, up to a day later. On a flag someone had just turned ON
that read as a fault, and the workflow's own gate (flag on main is true, target
is comfy.org) would then open a PR turning it straight back off — automatically
reverting a human decision. The check now reads what production serves and
reports it, which is also the only thing a visitor can experience.

Added the coverage the reviewers found missing. The island assertion only
proved Astro emitted the markup; the component and renderer bundles are now
fetched and required to be JavaScript, which is the same one-router-rule-missing
shape as FE-1932 and was invisible to every other check here. A manual-redirect
POST pins the submit route to a method-preserving 308, because a regression to
301 would downgrade every visitor's submit to a bodyless GET while this file,
which posts to the slashed form directly, stayed green.

The agent prompt no longer shares a blocking assertion with the keyframes: the
page degrades to a hint when it is missing, so a per-object outage on it must
not switch the demo off. A Slack ok:false rejection on an outage is now an
::error:: with a step-summary line, matching the missing-credential path.

Corrected what the comments claimed: generation is explicitly out of scope in
both headers, since the job is cancelled as soon as a worker takes it; "the demo
is currently on" now says the flag on main; the GITHUB_TOKEN fallback no longer
promises something org policy governs; and set-experiment-flag's finally catches
a throw, not a crash.

Verified against production comfy.org: 9/9 green, the island check resolving two
real bundles (client + MiniMaxH3Demo, both 200 JS) and the POST probe seeing the
real 308. Fallback path exercised against a local flag-off build: reported as
informational, island check skipped. lint, 892 unit tests, actionlint and
shellcheck clean.
…re it to start

Third review round. All three blocking findings were introduced by my own
previous commits.

The "job accepted but never scheduled" guard was dead code. It only failed when
the queue readout proved no worker existed, but the deployment's control-plane
URL is unset in production, so the readout never carries a worker census, the
capacity was always null and the early return fired on every run. A job that is
accepted and never runs therefore reported green forever while visitors watched
a permanent spinner — the single likeliest way this demo breaks. The check now
plainly requires the job to leave `queued`, absorbs a cold start with a 240s
window instead of with an escape hatch, and quotes the census only when it
happens to be there. That also makes both file headers true where they claim a
green run means "accepted and started".

The kill switch still keyed on the flag committed to `main` even though the test
had just been changed to refuse to. Those disagree either side of a deploy, and
the repo flag was wrong in both directions: it would revert a flag someone had
turned on but not yet shipped, and stay silent when `main` said off while
production still served a broken runner. The page spec now emits
DEMO_RUNNER_LIVE, the workflow reads it, and the flip is gated on what a visitor
is actually being shown — which is also the only thing a flag flip can change,
and which stops firing on its own once the fallback ships. The case where the
flip cannot help, because the flag is already off and only a deploy will ship
it, now has its own Slack message instead of silence.

Cancel rejected the healthiest possible outcome. The SDK leaves a job that
reached a terminal state in it, so a deployment fast enough to finish the clip
between the poll and the cancel answers `succeeded` — and the assertion, which
accepted only `canceling` and `canceled`, would have opened a kill-switch PR
against a demo that had just rendered a video. The faster the backend, the more
likely the false takedown.

Also closed the retry gaps that let one transient blip prepare a kill switch:
the three CDN reads inside the un-retried submit spec now retry in-place, and
the poll forgives a single bad response before failing. The production guard
tolerates a trailing slash so a dispatch typed with one does not test production
and then silently decline to act. Reason truncation is character-based, because
these diagnoses contain em dashes and GNU cut counts bytes.

Verified against production comfy.org: 9/9 green, DEMO_RUNNER_LIVE=true parsed
by the workflow's own extraction. Summarize logic exercised on synthetic logs
for runner-live, fallback and page-unreachable, confirming the kill switch arms
only on the first and that a 300-character truncation stays valid UTF-8. lint,
892 unit tests, actionlint and shellcheck clean.
…assing on a dead route

Fourth review round.

A page that does not answer produced total silence. DEMO_RUNNER_LIVE is printed
after the page spec's status assertion, so a 404 emitted no token at all and
demo_live was the empty string — which matched neither the kill-switch gate nor
any notify clause, while the test step's continue-on-error kept the job green.
The demo's worst outage, and the one the page diagnosis is written for, was the
only one nobody heard about. demo_live now has three states rather than two: an
absent token reads as `unknown`, which still must not arm the kill switch — a
flag flip cannot restore a missing page — but now has its own Slack message
saying the page did not answer and pointing at the router.

The slashless POST probe returned early on any non-3xx, so vitest passed an
assertion-free test on a 404, 403, 405 or 5xx: exactly the outage it exists to
catch, and the same FE-1932 shape its sibling GET probe fails on. The
non-redirect branch now requires the 400 that proves the handler ran and
rejected the empty body, and the redirect branch additionally pins the target to
the form the submit spec drives.

The "broken in front of users" alert could also fire off a preview origin, since
DEMO_LIVE describes whatever was tested while FLAG_ENABLED always describes
`main`; that branch now checks IS_PRODUCTION and a preview dispatch falls
through to the honest "changed nothing" message. And the demo page claimed the
flag "flips unattended when the demo's backend goes down", which the workflow
header and the policy doc in this same PR both explicitly deny — corrected,
without disturbing the conclusion it supports about holding noindex constant.

Also trued up two rationales a future editor would apply: the test header now
describes what the file actually drives rather than four calls, and the retry
note names the three job-bound specs that stay at zero rather than mischaracterising
them as the only non-idempotent ones. The optional PAT is listed in the header.

Verified: 9/9 green against production comfy.org. The run probe now fails on an
origin where the route is absent (405) where it previously passed silently, and
a 404 page yields demo_live=unknown, leaves the kill switch disarmed and fires
the new notify clause. lint, 892 unit tests, astro check 0 errors, actionlint
and shellcheck clean.
Both flagged as nitpicks in review. The notify step lists five reasons to
speak, not four, and the integration config attributed submit and poll's
'a rerun would disturb a real job' reasoning to the cancel spec as well —
where it does not hold, since a repeated DELETE answers with the same
terminal status the spec already accepts. Comment-only; no behaviour change.

Both blockers fixed, plus the rebase. Detail is in the two inline replies; summarising here since the review body raised them together.

1. Dead API path — rebased onto main and retargeted to /workflows/api/minimax-h3-multiref. Your 404 reproduces on both origins. It reached further than the base: diagnose()'s 404 branch still blamed a missing router rule for /api/workflows/*, its 403 branch still named security.allowedDomains, and this branch's own astro.config.mjs block conflicted with #1215's checkOrigin: false — I dropped mine, so that file now matches main exactly.

2. Push to main — confirmed ruleset 9388637 (pull_request, 1 approval, bypass_actors: null, active). Now commits to ci/minimax-demo-kill-switch and opens a PR, following i18n-update-hub.yml. Retry loop removed.


Your note that #1213 and #1215 already fixed the 404 and the 403 in production is the useful part, because it means this check was about to be pointed at bugs that no longer exist while missing the ones that do. Reviewing it in that light turned up several ways it would have been actively wrong, and those are the bulk of the diff:

Would have switched off a working demo

  • comfy.org 308-redirects the slashless form, and Node's fetch drops the multipart boundary across it — the submit arrived as 400 Expected multipart/form-data. A healthy demo, reported broken. Endpoints now carry the trailing slash, with a guard asserting no redirect.
  • The kill switch keyed on the flag in main, which disagrees with production between a merge and the deploy that ships it. On a flag someone had just turned on, that read as a fault and would have opened a PR turning it straight back off. It now keys on what production actually serves.
  • Cancel accepted only canceling/canceled. The SDK leaves a terminal job terminal, so a deployment fast enough to finish the clip answers succeeded — the faster the backend, the likelier the false takedown.
  • A cold GPU start failed a 45s window that two comments claimed was 120s. Now genuinely 240s.

Would have stayed quiet about a broken one

  • queued is a healthy status, so a job accepted and never scheduled passed every assertion — the likeliest failure mode for this backend. Now requires the job to actually start.
  • The island assertion only proved Astro emitted the markup. The component and renderer bundles are now fetched and required to be JS; through comfy.org those travel a different router rule from the page, which is FE-1932's exact shape one layer down.
  • CDN bytes were read from Node, where CORS isn't enforced, so assets a browser would refuse still passed.
  • A page that didn't answer at all produced no DEMO_RUNNER_LIVE token, matched no notify clause, and left the job green — the worst outage, and the only silent one. Now reports unknown: still doesn't arm the switch (a flag can't fix a missing page) but does alert.
  • The slashless POST probe returned early on any non-3xx, so it asserted nothing on a 404/405. Now requires the 400 that proves the handler ran.

Verification — 9/9 against production comfy.org including submit, poll and cancel; the island check resolving two real bundles; DEMO_RUNNER_LIVE=true parsed by the workflow's own extraction; Summarize exercised on synthetic runner-live / fallback / page-unreachable logs; the explicit --force-with-lease proven to reject a clobber where the bare form silently didn't. Plus lint, 892 unit tests, astro check 0 errors, actionlint + shellcheck, and a flag-off production build leaking no promo markup.

Two things I deliberately did not do, both worth a second opinion:

  • Generation is not covered. The job is cancelled as soon as a worker picks it up, so model, VRAM and output-muxing failures are invisible. A full render costs GPU minutes four times a day on a single-deployment demo. Both headers now state this outright rather than implying end-to-end coverage; a separate, rarer job is the right home for it.
  • A stale kill-switch PR silences a new outage — the run exits early and the recorded reason keeps the older diagnosis. The open PR is still actionable and the step summary carries the fresh reason, so I left it rather than add unreviewed logic to the kill-switch path. Say the word and I'll do it here.

Two pre-existing items for separate tickets: COMFY_DEPLOY_API_URL is unset in production (so /queue always reports available: false and carries no worker census), and crossSiteRejection() allows any *.vercel.app host, which on free self-serve hosting isn't really a same-site check.

… from the JSON

Three CodeRabbit findings, all valid on inspection.

The job had no timeout-minutes. With `cancel-in-progress: false`, a run wedged
on a hung socket or a stuck runner would sit on GitHub's 360-minute default —
longer than the 6-hourly schedule — and block every scheduled and post-deploy
run queued behind it. Capped at 20, against a suite whose own ceiling is about
six minutes.

Rule 4's heading still said the health check "flips" the flag. The body of that
rule was corrected earlier to "prepares, not performs"; the heading was missed,
so the two contradicted each other on the one point the rule exists to make.

set-experiment-flag validated the name against the config module and then read
the record from the JSON data file. A flag present in the first but not the
second is `undefined`, and the bare property access threw a Node stack before
the `changed` output was written — leaving CI's kill switch silently disarmed,
from a script whose whole design is to fail with a diagnosis rather than a
mystery. Confirmed `tsc` does catch the divergence, so reaching it takes
deliberate effort; the guard is defence in depth for a failure whose blast
radius is out of proportion to its likelihood.

Verified: the guard prints the diagnostic where a raw stack used to appear, and
the on/off/no-op paths still emit the changed contract the workflow reads
(true/false/true). 9/9 integration green against production comfy.org, lint,
892 unit tests, astro check 0 errors, actionlint and shellcheck clean.

Drive-by from reviewing #1216 (now merged). Not a request to change this PR's scope — one line of it, if you agree.

The promo video is now the single largest thing on /workflows/, and the flag does not fix that when it is on.

MiniMaxPromo.astro keeps autoplay alongside preload="metadata". Those two do not compose: autoplay overrides the preload hint and the browser fetches the whole body. It is the exact defect #1216 was about — its commit message puts it as "autoplay was silently overriding preload".

Measured on live https://comfy.org/workflows/ after the #1216 deploy:

bytes
promo video body 3,402,799
everything else that must load on first paint 2,128,969

That is 61.5% of the must-load subtotal (HTML + CSS + JS + carousel slide-1 video + 6 carousel posters + the promo poster), and ~53% of the ~6.2 MB the page weighs in total — the figure #1216 quotes. Of the 33 <video> elements on the page, only two now autoplay: the carousel's slide 1, which is the deliberate above-the-fold LCP hero, and this one.

And it is below the fold. Stacking the heights — navbar ~72 px, carousel h-[clamp(300px,60vw,520px)] = 520 px at desktop widths, HubHero ≈ 205 px — puts the promo's top edge near 810 px. On a 1366×768 laptop it is entirely out of view. It is never the LCP element, so nothing is gained by fetching it eagerly.

Suggested change, entirely inside MiniMaxPromo.astro: drop autoplay, set preload="none", and widen the existing reduced-motion script into the visibility gate the repo now uses in site/src/components/workflow-pages/Thumbnail.astro (lines 67–89) — IntersectionObserver at rootMargin: '200px', play().catch(() => {}) on intersect when motion is not reduced, pause() otherwise, with the current play() behaviour as the no-observer fallback. The reduced-motion branch folds into that condition rather than sitting beside it, so it is a replacement, not an addition. Keep poster, muted, loop, playsinline exactly as they are — the poster is 34.5 KB and it is what makes the frame paint before any video bytes.

One thing that will not work: adding data-gated-video and relying on Thumbnail.astro's script. Astro bundles that script only into pages that render Thumbnail.astro, and that component is used exclusively by the workflow-pages/cards/* components, none of which appear on /workflows/. It needs its own inline script.

Roughly +12/−8 lines. Takes /workflows/ from ~6.2 MB to ~2.8 MB whenever the flag is on, against the 7 MiB total-byte-weight error budget #1216 just set for this URL in site/lighthouserc.json.

Separately, and out of scope here: the asset lives at media.comfy.org/website/demos/…, outside the hub-media manifest, so #1216's VMAF ≥ 95 re-encode pass never saw it. 3.4 MB is large next to the re-encoded hub clips, whose median is well under 1.5 MB. Worth a pass at some point.

Also a small correction for the record: #1216's description credits #1208 with adding this. #1208 only rewrote the two URLs to media.comfy.org; the block came in with #1177 (71f43419) with the same attributes.

`autoplay` overrides the `preload` hint, so pairing the two pulled the whole
3.4 MB body during parse. Reduced-motion users paid it too: the old script could
only strip the attribute after the browser had committed to the fetch, so they
downloaded the clip in full to look at a static poster.

Replaces it with the visibility gate `workflow-pages/Thumbnail.astro` picked up
in #1216 — `preload="none"`, no autoplay, IntersectionObserver at
`rootMargin: '200px'`. Copied rather than shared, because Astro bundles a
component's script only into pages that render it and Thumbnail is used
exclusively by `workflow-pages/cards/*`, none of which appear on /workflows/.
The reduced-motion branch folds into the gate's condition and now also
subscribes to `change`, so switching the preference on mid-playback stops the
clip instead of waiting for the next scroll.

Measured on the hub index with the flag on:

- reduced motion: 0 requests for example.mp4, `readyState 0` — was 3,402,799 B
- short desktop window (1280x640): deferred outright, 0 B until scrolled to
- common viewports: the block sits 571-860px down depending on viewport width,
  so it is usually already in view and the gate opens straight away

Not a first-paint byte saving in the general case, and the comment says so.
Moving the page's total byte weight needs the asset itself to shrink: it lives
outside the `hub-media` manifest, so #1216's VMAF re-encode pass never saw it.

@deepme987 — re: your drive-by on the promo video (MiniMaxPromo.astro keeping autoplay alongside preload="metadata").

Agreed on the defect, taken in 6f23ffc. One correction to the projected saving, and two deliberate deviations from the spec — details below.

The defect reproduces, and it is worse than "wasted bytes"

Measured in Chromium against the hub index with the flag on, old code vs new:

example.mp4 fetched
old, prefers-reduced-motion: reduce 3,402,799 B, readyState 4
new, prefers-reduced-motion: reduce 0 B, readyState 0

The reduced-motion row is the part worth naming. The old script did its job — it removed autoplay and the element ended paused: true — but it ran after the browser had already committed to the fetch, so a reduced-motion user downloaded 3.4 MB in full to look at a static poster. Exactly the "autoplay was silently overriding preload" shape from #1216.

Correction: the gate does not get /workflows/ to ~2.8 MB

The block is not reliably below the fold. Its offset tracks viewport width, because the carousel above it is h-[clamp(300px,60vw,520px)] — so it lands anywhere from 571px to 860px, and the 1366×768 stack in your comment is its deepest case, not its typical one. Measured cold, scrollY: 0, no interaction:

viewport block top video fetched at rest?
412×823 (Lighthouse default) 571 yes — above the fold
390×844 571 yes
1350×940 860 yes
1366×768 860 yes — 92px gap, inside rootMargin: '200px'
1280×640 860 no — 0 B until scrolled to
1440×600 860 no — 0 B until scrolled to

site/lighthouserc.json sets no preset, so LHCI runs Lighthouse's default mobile emulation at 412×823 — where the block sits at 571px, comfortably inside the initial viewport. No rootMargin defers an element that is already visible, so tuning it to 0px would not help either: that only changes the 1366×768 row and leaves the other five as they are.

So when the flag goes on, /workflows/ stays around the 6.2 MB you measured, against the 7 MiB total-byte-weight error budget — roughly 1 MB of headroom, and the gate does not reclaim any of it. That makes the re-encode you filed as out-of-scope the only lever on this number, rather than a someday cleanup: the asset is the entire delta, and anything else on that page growing by ~1 MB turns the flag flip into a red Lighthouse run. I have left it alone here (it is on media.comfy.org outside the hub-media manifest, so it needs the encode pipeline, not this PR), but the code comment names it as the next step so it does not get lost.

What the change does buy, all measured: 3.4 MB → 0 for reduced-motion users; the fetch off the parse-time critical path so it stops competing with the carousel's LCP video; playback stopping when scrolled away; and full deferral on short windows. Worth doing — just not as a first-paint byte saving, and the comment in the file says so in those words rather than claiming the 2.8 MB.

Two deviations from the spec

1. No no-observer fallback. You asked for the current play() as the fallback branch, matching Thumbnail.astro. I dropped it. IntersectionObserver has been baseline since 2019, so the branch is unreachable in anything this site builds for — and if it ever did run it would fetch the full 3.4 MB immediately, which is the one behaviour this change exists to remove. Without it the poster simply stays, which is the better degradation for a 3.4 MB clip even if it is the wrong trade for Thumbnail's small card videos. Happy to put it back if you would rather the two copies stay literally identical.

2. Added a change subscription on the media query. Beyond your ask. Reading reducedMotion.matches only inside the observer callback means that once intersection settles, toggling the OS preference does nothing — so turning reduce on mid-playback left the clip running. Now both directions take effect immediately: verified pausing with currentTime held at 3.39s across two samples, and resuming on toggle back, both without scrolling. Thumbnail.astro has the same gap; I have not touched it here.

Otherwise it is your spec: preload="none", no autoplay, IntersectionObserver at rootMargin: '200px', poster/muted/loop/playsinline untouched, reduced-motion folded into the gate's condition rather than sitting beside it.

Your data-gated-video warning was right and I confirmed it before writing the script — Thumbnail.astro is imported only by workflow-pages/cards/{CardOverlayImage,IndexCard,MediaCard,SplitCard}.astro, none of which render on /workflows/, so the shared script never reaches this page. Hence the local copy, with that reasoning in a comment so the next person does not try to consolidate them.

Attribution correction confirmed too: git log -S puts the block at 71f43419 (#1177), and #1208 only rewrote the two URLs.

Verification: pnpm lint, prettier --check, astro check (0 errors) and 892/892 unit tests. Flag-off path re-checked — the block and its script are both absent from the HTML, not hidden in it. The one console error visible under emulated reduced motion is pre-existing and unrelated: FeaturedCarousel.vue SSRs :autoplay="autoplayEnabled" from a client-only media query, so it hydration-mismatches whenever the preference is set. That file is untouched by this PR.

Below: the reduced-motion state (poster paints, zero video bytes) and the normal-motion state once the gate opens.

Screenshots

Promo block under prefers-reduced-motion, scrolled fully into view: the poster frame paints the media frame normally while the video body is never requested (0 bytes, readyState 0)

Promo block under normal motion once scrolled into view: the gate has opened and the clip is playing mid-scene
