Left from #184 B. A .gitbay/ci.yml queues builds without bound: any
account can push a job with schedule: "* * * * *" and nothing caps
what it queues. Since v1.17.0 a build runs only on a runner its owner
attaches, so the cost is no longer compute; it is rows in builds,
statuses, the reaper's work, and the queue numbers on admin runners
that a stranger can inflate. Rows nothing claims stay pending forever.
Decide and, if yes, implement:
- Builds queued at once per account, counting
pending; a push or a schedule tick past the cap records askipped-style status that says why, rather than queueing. - A floor on schedule intervals (the cron parser accepts one minute).
- Build minutes per day, only if a runner the operator owns builds other people's repositories; with attachment that is per-operator policy, and may be a documented no.
- Same shape and place as
admin user limits(--builds <n>|default,--schedule-floor <d>|default), stored beside the repository and storage caps, with a wiki row on Admin and the FAQ.
