The three CI entry workflows drop the "⚡ CI:" prefix for one emoji each -
🕹️ Manual, 🔀 Pull Request, 📤 Push - completing the trigger triad by symbol.
The manual run-name loses its prose prefix and separator dots; the segments now
frame themselves: 🕹️ for the dispatch, 🐧 before the distro sweep, ⭐ for the
priority line, 🎯 for a verbatim whitelist, 🔀 for diff derivation.
before: Manual CI triggered: debian arch; web-app-x ⭐; diff-derived (origin/main)
after: 🕹️🐧 debian arch ⭐ web-app-x 🔀 diff (origin/main)
Dropping the dots removes the fixed literal after inputs.distros that
utils/github/run_name.py cut the distro list at - the list is itself
space-separated, and the next segment starts with a branch-dependent emoji.
value_from_title therefore derives the terminator dynamically when the framing
literal is whitespace-only: _openings_after collects what any later template
segment can render first (the leading literal of each quoted string in later
expressions, format placeholders stripped, plus later inter-expression
literals) and cuts at the earliest occurrence. The SPOT property holds: the
openings are read from the workflow's own run-name, so a future emoji change
flows into the parser without touching it.
Titles from before this change no longer match the template and yield '' - the
documented unknown-title behaviour, so a retrigger of a pre-rename run falls
back to the workflow's distro default instead of guessing.
The dispatch CLI is unaffected (it targets entry-manual.yml by file name), job
names and the orchestrator are untouched, and no workflow_run trigger
references the old names. Required status checks configured against the old
workflow names in repository settings are the one surface this repo cannot
see - re-check them after the rename lands.

The retrigger sent only whitelist and priority, so entry-manual.yml applied its
own distros default of 'debian'. A run that swept five distros came back as one,
and a failure that only reproduces on centos returned green with nothing fixed.
The dispatch inputs are not recoverable from the API - it answers inputs: null
for a finished workflow_dispatch - so they are read back from the run title.
The title format is not copied here: run_name.py parses the workflow's own
run-name declaration and derives the literals framing an input, and the tests
build their titles through the same helper instead of spelling one out.
Known gap: a run from another entry point carries an unrelated title and yields
no distros, leaving the retrigger on the workflow default. Job step names carry
the list for every entry point and arrive in the same gh call, so that is where
to look when it matters.
