Michael Bolin 03ae4db0f4 ci: keep argument comment lint checks materialized (#18926)
## Why

The fast `rust-ci` workflow decides whether to run the cross-platform
`argument-comment-lint` job based on changed paths. PRs that touch
Rust-adjacent Bazel wrapper files, such as `defs.bzl` or
`workspace_root_test_launcher.*.tpl`, can change how Rust tests and lint
targets behave without changing any `.rs` files.

When that detector returned false, GitHub skipped the matrix job before
expanding it. That produced a single skipped check named `Argument
comment lint - ${{ matrix.name }}` instead of the Linux, macOS, and
Windows check names that branch protection expects, leaving the PR
unable to go green when those matrix checks are required.

## What Changed

- Treat root Bazel wrapper files as `argument-comment-lint` relevant
changes.
- Keep the `argument_comment_lint_prebuilt` matrix job materialized for
every PR so the per-platform check names always exist.
- Add a single gate step that decides whether the real lint work should
run.
- Move the checkout-adjacent Bazel setup and OS-specific lint commands
into `.github/actions/run-argument-comment-lint/action.yml` so the
workflow does not repeat the same path-detection condition on each step.

## Verification

- Parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` and
`.github/actions/run-argument-comment-lint/action.yml` with Python YAML
loading.
- Simulated the workflow path-matching shell conditions for the root
Bazel wrapper files and confirmed they set `argument_comment_lint=true`.

Workflow Strategy

The workflows in this directory are split so that pull requests get fast, review-friendly signal while main still gets the full cross-platform verification pass.

Pull Requests

  • bazel.yml is the main pre-merge verification path for Rust code. It runs Bazel test and Bazel clippy on the supported Bazel targets, including the generated Rust test binaries needed to lint inline #[cfg(test)] code.
  • rust-ci.yml keeps the Cargo-native PR checks intentionally small:
    • cargo fmt --check
    • cargo shear
    • argument-comment-lint on Linux, macOS, and Windows
    • tools/argument-comment-lint package tests when the lint or its workflow wiring changes

Post-Merge On main

  • bazel.yml also runs on pushes to main. This re-verifies the merged Bazel path and helps keep the BuildBuddy caches warm.
  • rust-ci-full.yml is the full Cargo-native verification workflow. It keeps the heavier checks off the PR path while still validating them after merge:
    • the full Cargo clippy matrix
    • the full Cargo nextest matrix
    • release-profile Cargo builds
    • cross-platform argument-comment-lint
    • Linux remote-env tests

Rule Of Thumb

  • If a build/test/clippy check can be expressed in Bazel, prefer putting the PR-time version in bazel.yml.
  • Keep rust-ci.yml fast enough that it usually does not dominate PR latency.
  • Reserve rust-ci-full.yml for heavyweight Cargo-native coverage that Bazel does not replace yet.
