Reduce noise in the daily CI duration trend alert (#69113) (#69337)
The duration monitor flagged jobs by comparing a single nightly canary run
against the median of the preceding runs, so any one slow run — slow PyPI,
runner queue pressure, a cold cache — tripped the alert. Because a different
run was "latest" each day, a different set of jobs was flagged each day, and
network-bound constraint-resolution jobs that legitimately swing tens of
minutes dominated nearly every alert. The result was a near-daily alert
whose
contents swung wildly and carried little signal.
Compare the median of the last few nightly runs against the baseline so the
two sides are symmetric and one unlucky run no longer trips it, and require
a
larger absolute jump before flagging individual jobs.
Pin the monitor to successful (green) canary runs only. A failed or
cancelled
canary stops partway, so its truncated wall-clock and per-job durations
would
skew the baseline downwards and mask real regressions. The script already
defaults to this, but the guarantee is now explicit at the call site so it
cannot be silently changed.
