runner.group-creation-abort ​

Abort a stuck runner group creation: force-fail in-flight workflow + reset status

Recover from a stuck runner-group creation.

Force-fails the in-flight workflow (best-effort) then resets the group's cached status to ERROR. Safe to invoke at any time — both steps are idempotent and tolerate the "nothing to do" case.

Input Schema ​

FieldTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
runner_group_uuiduuidYes—UUID of the RunnerGroup this action operates on, picked from the organization's list of runner groups.
organization_uuiduuidYes—UUID of the caller's organization, injected server-side from the authenticated request; scopes the operation to the correct tenant.
actor_uuiduuidNo—UUID of the user or service actor who triggered this action, injected server-side from the authenticated request; used for audit/attribution only.
reasonstringNo——

Output Schema ​

FieldTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
runner_group_uuiduuidNo—UUID of the RunnerGroup this action operates on, picked from the organization's list of runner groups; echoed on output alongside terminal/error payloads.
organization_uuiduuidNo—UUID of the caller's organization, injected server-side from the authenticated request; scopes the operation to the correct tenant. Echoed on output alongside terminal/error payloads.
runner_execution_uuiduuidNo—UUID of the RunnerExecution this action operates on, picked from the organization's (optionally group-scoped) list of executions; echoed on output alongside terminal/error payloads.
workflow_uuidstringNo—Engine workflow-run identifier (or, for GitHub-Actions-triggered flows, an external GitHub Actions run id) associated with this record; not a platform entity foreign key despite the name. No source is attached since there is no list/query workflow for an internal run id.

actor_uuiduuidNo—UUID of the user or service actor who triggered this action, injected server-side from the authenticated request when available; used for audit/attribution only. Optional — omitted for system or service-triggered actions with no human actor.
reasonstringNo——
workflow_run_uuidstringNo—Engine-stamped correlation/run id for this DAG execution (ADR-015/E1 plumbing), written into state_data by action_start; not a foreign key to any business entity. No source is attached since there is no list/query workflow for an internal run id.

active_workflow_uuidstringNo—Engine workflow-instance id of the runner group's in-flight lifecycle workflow, if any; an internal engine run id, not a business entity with a picker.
force_fail_outcomestringNo——
previous_statusstringNo——
previous_active_workflow_uuidstringNo—Value of the runner group's active_workflow_id captured just before it was cleared by this reset/abort step; an internal engine run id, not a business entity.
