Eval runs

Waive a run gate

Override a FAILING run's release gate until an expiry you name. This does NOT make the run pass: the run keeps its result, the waiver is a separate audited record, and every surface that honors it — the GitHub Check Run and the CLI's eval gate — reports the gate as waived, by whom, why, and until when.

Requires the manage tier; whoever launched the run gets no exception for having launched it. reason is stored UNREDACTED and readable by anyone who can see the suite, for as long as the suite exists.

400 covers five distinct refusals, each with a message written for the caller: the suite belongs to no organization, the reason is blank, the reason exceeds 500 characters, the expiry is not in the future, or the expiry is more than 30 days out. 403 means the caller can see the suite but lacks the manage tier — deliberately not collapsed to 404, which would send a legitimate member hunting for a run sitting in front of them.

Path parameters

projectIdstring required

ID of the hosted project that contains the server.

runIdstring required

Eval run ID, as returned by POST /eval-runs.

Request body

reasonstring required

Why the gate is being overridden. Non-blank, at most 500 characters, and THE RECORD of the decision. Stored unredacted for the life of the suite.

expiresAtinteger required

When the waiver lapses, as epoch milliseconds. Must be in the future and at most 30 days out.

Response

The waiver was granted.

status'created' | 'conflict' | 'revoked' | 'already_revoked' required

conflict — a waiver was already in force, and waiver is that EXISTING one rather than a second row. already_revoked — this waiver had already been revoked, and waiver reports the original revocation rather than restamping it, so the record of who actually ended it survives a second call.

republishedChecksinteger required

GitHub Check Runs brought back in line by this write. A published check is a persisted verdict, not a live read, so 0 on a repository with checks connected means the status that gates the merge did not move.
