ci(queue): dispatch Queue onto a branch head - #7617
main now requires the Queue context from .github/workflows/queue.yml. GitHub runs a PR's pull_request workflows from its test merge commit. For many PRs opened before moq-dev/moq#7612, that commit is stale and has no queue.yml, so an edited event never reports Queue. Those PRs can't enter the merge queue, including the 72 that were armed for the retired host gate.
Approach
Add a workflow_dispatch trigger to queue.yml, and list Queue as CI-only in sh/gh/alert.sh: a dispatch publishes nothing, so alert.yml need not watch it. Its job stays merge_group-only, so a dispatch reports a skipped Queue check on the branch's head commit, which satisfies the requirement: gh workflow run queue.yml --ref <branch>. sh/gh/queue.test.ts asserts the trigger.
Impact
No public API or wire change.
Alternatives
Closing and reopening each PR: that disables its auto-merge, and closing PRs isn't ours to do.
Merging main into each branch: that moves reviewed heads and fails on the 16 conflicting PRs.
Follow-ups
After this lands, dispatch Queue on each queued PR's branch.
A PR whose test merge commit predates queue.yml gets no pull_request run
from it, so it never reports the required Queue context and GitHub keeps
it out of the merge queue. A workflow_dispatch on its branch reports the
skipped context on its head.

Walkthrough
The queue workflow now supports manual runs through workflow_dispatch. The workflow test checks that the event is present in the workflow configuration.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 73e27
The new manual dispatch trigger is unlikely to unblock older pull requests that lack the required Queue check, because GitHub does not count checks from manually dispatched runs toward a pull request's required checks. The change is harmless, but the stated recovery path should be reconsidered or confirmed before merging.

Do not use workflow_dispatch to satisfy the required Queue check.
GitHub does not evaluate checks created by a workflow_dispatch run against a pull request's required status checks, even when the run targets the pull request head. The skipped Queue job therefore cannot satisfy the main ruleset, so affected pull requests remain blocked. Use an eligible check mechanism, or verify another ruleset-supported approach before relying on this trigger. (docs.github.com)

Review comment at @.github/workflows/queue.yml at line 24:
Update the workflow trigger configuration around `workflow_dispatch` so the
required `Queue` check is produced by a mechanism GitHub evaluates for pull
request status checks. Do not rely on a `workflow_dispatch` run to satisfy the
requirement; verify any alternative against the ruleset before using it.

P2 — The dispatch cannot unblock required Queue checks (.github/workflows/queue.yml:20–24). I independently confirmed the existing finding against GitHub’s documentation source: workflow-job checks from workflow_dispatch do not satisfy PR required-status rules, even on the PR head. Thus the proposed recovery leaves the old PRs blocked. Use an eligible event/check mechanism and verify admission on an affected PR; the new YAML-presence assertion cannot establish this behavior. Referencing the existing thread instead of duplicating an inline comment.
Direction: keeping actual builds merge-group-only is appropriately simple, but this recovery mechanism does not achieve its goal. No additional actionable bugs found.
Verification: static workflow/test inspection and official documentation only; no tests, dispatches, ruleset changes, or queue-admission experiments run.
quest land watch: the merge queue removed this pull request at 73a42c7 because its merge_group build failed (failed_checks).
Its head has moved to 73e2706 since, and a push by anyone but the land fixer ends the pick: the watcher leaves this pull request alone until a maintainer enqueues it again.

Important
workflow_dispatch resolves the workflow from the dispatched ref, not from main. The target PRs' branch heads lack queue.yml, so gh workflow run queue.yml --ref <branch> is rejected and reports no Queue check. See the inline comment.
Reviewed changes
workflow_dispatch added to queue.yml — lets gh workflow run queue.yml --ref <branch> run the workflow (job skipped) so it reports a skipped Queue context on a branch head.
queue.test.ts asserts the trigger — assert.ok("workflow_dispatch" in queue.on).
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
A workflow_dispatch run resolves the workflow definition from the dispatched ref, not from main. Every PR this targets has a branch head that either lacks queue.yml or carries the pre-PR version (b4cb104eb, no workflow_dispatch), so gh workflow run queue.yml --ref <branch> is rejected and reports no Queue check.
Technical details
# workflow_dispatch runs the ref's copy of the workflow## Affected sites-`.github/workflows/queue.yml:24` — `workflow_dispatch:` added here, but the workflow file at the target ref is what governs whether the dispatch is accepted.
## Evidence-`gh workflow run --ref` documents `--ref` as "Branch or tag name which contains the version of the workflow file you'd like to run" (https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_workflow_run).
-cli/cli#5268 and its maintainer replies: a `workflow_dispatch` workflow must be registered (on the default branch or via a prior run) **and** the ref must contain the file; a branch missing it errors, and branch contents may differ and are what runs (https://github.com/cli/cli/issues/5268).
- Community discussion #45990: the error is "Workflow does not exist or does not have a workflow_dispatch trigger in this branch" (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/45990).
-cli/cli#9781 confirms the workflow must be on the default branch to be resolvable, but the run still takes the ref's definition (https://github.com/cli/cli/issues/9781).
## Target branches (verified)- Heads that predate #7612 lack `.github/workflows/queue.yml`: #6373`a033c6345`, #6949`9fbcbdef0` → 404.
- Heads that merged `main` after #7612 carry the old blob `b4cb104eb` (the #7612 version, no `workflow_dispatch`): #6972`31b1446f8`, #7616`1460470b8` → rejected (no `workflow_dispatch` in this branch).
So the skipped `Queue` check never lands on any targeted head, and the follow-up plan of dispatching on each queued PR's branch will fail for all of them.
## Required outcome- Either prove a dispatch on one of these branch heads actually yields a `Queue` check (e.g. run it against #6949's head and inspect the check suite), or replace the mechanism with one that does not depend on the ref containing `queue.yml` (the `quest/m0/ci/land.md` note currently says old PRs report `Queue` after a push, reopen, or edit).
## Open questions for the human- Did this work in a local trial on a target branch? If so, which ref and what did the check suite show?
… the group commit (#391)
* fix(land): the watcher finds the dropped head from push activity, not the group commit
A merge queue removal's beforeCommit is the merge group's own commit on the
base, never the PR's head, so the watcher saw every drop as a push and ended
the pick instead of fixing it (moq-dev/moq#7617's failed_checks removal). The
dropped head is now the head branch's last push before the enqueue, read
from its activity as quest status reads the head auto-merge was enabled on
(headBefore, shared with enabledHead); a head the listing cannot tell yet
falls back to the current one. The test fake now names a group commit as
beforeCommit and serves the branch's push activity.

* fix(land): an enqueued head the activity can't tell never authorizes the fixer
Until GitHub lists the head branch's pushes, a removal waits within SETTLE
and is read again; after that, or when the activity is unreadable, it ends
the pick with an unknown verdict instead of fixing the current head.

mainnow requires theQueuecontext from.github/workflows/queue.yml. GitHub runs a PR'spull_requestworkflows from its test merge commit. For many PRs opened before moq-dev/moq#7612, that commit is stale and has noqueue.yml, so aneditedevent never reportsQueue. Those PRs can't enter the merge queue, including the 72 that were armed for the retired host gate.Approach
Add a

Its job staysmerge_group-only, so a dispatch reports a skippedQueuecheck on the branch's head commit, which satisfies the requirement:gh workflow run queue.yml --ref <branch>.sh/gh/queue.test.tsasserts the trigger.Impact
