   Rerun Only the Jobs That Failed

   A pipeline fails on a single job, and you shouldn’t have to rebuild everything around it to recover. That’s what changes with this update. Job rerun is here, and it reruns only the jobs that actually failed. Until now, when a job inside a block failed and you reran the pipeline, every job in that block got rebuilt, including the ones that had already passed. The new default rebuilds only the failed jobs. Every other job in the block, plus jobs from earlier in the pipeline, is carried over and reused, so your workflow topology stays intact and only the new jobs get built. The carried-over jobs are excluded from your billable time. That means a rerun costs you only the jobs that failed, not the whole block. Faster turnaround on failures, and a lower bill to match. The old behavior is still one flag away. We exposed a YAML flag called block rebuild that keeps the full block rebuild when you want it. The new, leaner path is the default, and the escape hatch is there when you need it. sem-ai already understands the new behavior, so agents pick it up and rerun the right way automatically. What’s Coming Job rerun is the first building block of doubling down on CI for the second half of 2026. We’re working through what CI looks like in an agent-driven software development world, with sem-ai as the agent-native interface to the CI. Expect more agentic CI capabilities announced through September. * Try sem-ai (https://github.com/semaphoreio/sem-ai) * Try Semaphore Cloud (https://semaphore.io) * All product news (https://semaphore.io/blog/product-updates) Till the next time, Pete Miloravac https://semaphore.io (https://semaphore.io) This is a public episode.

Inside a recent episode

Semaphore Open Source 1.6: MCP Server, sem-ai Out of the Box, and Partial Job Reruns

Published 9 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] A lot happened in that year. We're talking around 494 pull requests worth of new capabilities and now we're packaging all of it up and sharing it with the community. So, what's inside? Let's start with AI and automation because that's where we put a lot of energy this year. The MCP server is now included in both the Community Edition and the Enterprise Edition. And SEMAI is fully supported right out of the box. No extra configuration needed. It just works, with both service accounts and user tokens. We also added a lot of new public API endpoints, including artifacts and preflight checks in the Enterprise Edition, which means that almost everything in Semaphore is now configurable from the API, either through SEMAI or through the regular endpoints.
