Summary

This branch appends a timestamped CI queue wake smoke marker to README.md. The change is a single-line addition at the end of the file, used to trigger a CI pipeline run by creating a minimal, observable commit that can be detected by queue-based CI systems.

Tutorial Steps

Append CI queue wake smoke marker to README.md

Intent: Force a new commit on the branch to wake or trigger a queue-based CI system. The marker includes a UTC timestamp so each wake event produces a unique, traceable diff that does not alter any functional content.

Why this pattern exists

Some CI systems (e.g., Mergify merge queues, GitHub merge queues, or custom queue runners) require a fresh commit on a branch before they will pick it up for processing. When a previous queue run was cancelled or the branch fell out of the queue, pushing a trivial commit like this "wakes" the queue and re-enqueues the branch.

Key details

  • No functional change — the marker sits outside any code or configuration block and does not affect build output.
  • Timestamp provides uniqueness — the ISO-8601 timestamp (2026-03-20T17:02:28Z) ensures the commit hash differs from any prior wake attempts, which is necessary for CI systems that de-duplicate by tree hash.
  • Branch naming convention — the branch name ci-queue-fix-1774026139 encodes a Unix-epoch identifier, linking this wake commit back to the specific queue event it is intended to remediate.
