Race Condition Fix and Retry Logic

Race Condition Fix and Retry Logic | Generated by AI

Home 2026.06

The fix is applied. Here’s a summary:

What failed: Run 27260998201 (Deploy Jekyll, 2026-06-10 07:39 UTC)

Where it failed: “Lint Markdown files” step — committed chore(lint): Fix markdown lint issues, then the push was rejected twice.

Root cause: Race condition. The workflow has 4 separate commit+push steps (lang update, notes translation, table fix, lint). Each used this fragile pattern:

git push || { git pull --rebase; git push; }

When another concurrent run pushes between the rebase and the second push, it fails with no recovery. This time the lint step was the unlucky one.

What I fixed: Replaced all 4 push blocks with a push_with_retry() function that retries up to 3 times with git pull --rebase and a 2-second backoff between attempts:

push_with_retry() {
  for attempt in 1 2 3; do
    git push && return 0
    echo "Push failed (attempt $attempt/3), pulling and rebasing..."
    git pull --rebase || true
    sleep 2
  done
  echo "Push failed after 3 attempts"
  return 1
}

Side note: There’s also a deprecation warning — actions/checkout@v4 and actions/setup-python@v4 run on Node.js 20, which will be forced to Node.js 24 starting June 16, 2026 (6 days from now). You may want to bump to actions/checkout@v5 and actions/setup-python@v5 if they’re available, or set FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24=true to opt in early.
