 Maintainers can directly edit the file to add entries with `"reason": "custom override"`.
 Maintainers can also run `update_ci_permission.py` to update it with some auto rules (e.g., top contributors in the last 90 days get full permissions).

+| `cooldown_interval_minutes` | rate limit in `pr-gate.yml`; `0` also grants `/rerun-test`, `/rerun-group` |
+
+`/rerun-test` and `/rerun-group` are gated on the commenter alone: either
+`cooldown_interval_minutes: 0`, or `write`/`admin` permission on the repo. Where
+the PR comes from makes no difference, and authoring it grants nothing.
+
+Those are the same two signals `pr-gate.yml` already uses to waive its rate
+limit, and that is the point -- a selective rerun dispatches `rerun-test.yml`
+directly, which never passes through `pr-gate.yml`, so it bypasses the rate limit
+by construction. Anyone allowed to run one is therefore unthrottled in practice,
+which is exactly what a zero cooldown already declares.
+
+Set a cooldown deliberately: `0` lets the holder run PR-head code on the
+self-hosted GPU runners, and raising it above `0` takes that away again along
+with their rate-limit waiver.

 <Warning>
 Selective reruns do not build or install a PR-local `sglang-kernel` wheel. If a PR changes `python/sglang/kernels/aot/` or code that depends on that AOT change, use the normal/full PR CI workflow. A `/rerun-test` or `/rerun-group` result may use the pinned released kernel and does not validate the combined change.

 - `/tag-run-ci-label`: Adds the "run-ci" label. Only **future** commits trigger CI; the current commit is unaffected. Add the `extra` argument (`/tag-run-ci-label extra`) to additionally apply the "run-ci-extra" label, opting the PR into the extra test workflow (`pr-test-extra.yml`).
 - `/rerun-failed-ci`: Reruns workflows from the latest commit with conclusion **failed, flaky, or skipped**.
 - `/tag-and-rerun-ci`: Runs both. Use this on a fresh PR to kick off CI on the current commit — `/tag-run-ci-label` alone won't. Accepts the same `extra` argument (`/tag-and-rerun-ci extra`).
-- `/rerun-stage <stage-name>`: Reruns a single test stage without waiting for its dependencies. Useful for quickly validating a specific test fix instead of waiting ~30 minutes for preceding stages.
 - `/rerun-test <test-spec> [<test-spec> ...]`: Reruns one or more specific tests directly, bypassing stage boundaries. Each `<test-spec>` is pytest-style `<file>::<TestClass>[.<test_method>]` (the `::TestClass` and `.<test_method>` parts are optional). The handler resolves each spec, groups specs by their registered runner-label, and dispatches one [Rerun Test workflow](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/actions/workflows/rerun-test.yml) per group. Examples: `/rerun-test test_srt_endpoint.py`, `/rerun-test registered/core/test_srt_endpoint.py::TestSRTEndpoint.test_simple_decode`, `/rerun-test test_a.py test_b.py` (multiple at once).
 
 If you have permission, the [Slash Command Handler](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/actions/workflows/slash-command-handler.yml) will run your command and react with a 👍 to your comment. It may take up to a few minutes for the reaction to appear. Here’s a usage [example](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/pull/14253#issuecomment-3599509302).
 
 To avoid spamming a PR with too many `/rerun-failed-ci` comments, you can also trigger the command by editing an existing comment and adding any suffix (e.g., `/rerun-failed-ci try again`).
 
-Example of rerunning a single test stage: `/rerun-stage unit-test-backend-4-gpu`.
-
 If you don’t have permission, please ask maintainers to trigger CI for you.

 ## CI Pipeline Overview
 
-The CI pipeline runs in three sequential stages: **A** (pre-flight, ~3 min) → **B** (basic, ~30 min) → **C** (advanced, ~30 min). Kernel and multimodal-gen tests run in parallel with stage B. For details on stage gating, fast-fail mechanisms, execution modes (PR vs scheduled vs `/rerun-stage`), and debugging CI failures, see the [CI workflow guide](../.claude/skills/ci-workflow-guide/SKILL.md).
