Description

Detected by CI Gremlin after a failed merge-queue run succeeded in a later merge-queue run without a new PR head commit.

Tests:

  • Smoketests (Windows)

Error:
fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/gh-readonly-queue/master/pr-5243-2161148e8af4050c74d3419c7a71d62c3131f88f

Research direction

Start with the failed GitHub Actions run for “Smoketests (Windows)” and compare it with the later successful merge-queue run, focusing on the missing gh-readonly-queue remote ref. Trace where that ref is fetched or used in the job; done means identifying and fixing the intermittent failure, with the Windows smoketest completing reliably in merge-queue runs.
