May 2025 for Shopify/ci-queue: Improved CI test orchestration with a focused refactor and API exposure, plus queue reservation enhancements. Delivered a refactor of Minitest execution into Minitest::Queue.run and exposed SingleExample#runnable for better API visibility and integration. Also added support for reserving multiple tests in the CI queue and fixed reset semantics by using the local reserved_tests reader, enhancing correctness and throughput. These changes reduce CI flakiness, shorten test cycles, and improve maintainability of the queue subsystem.
