Cloud false failure (version mismatch) in macOS after semantic-release push #1030

Current behavior

GitHub Actions workflow .github/workflows/using-action.yml failed for PR #1026 after commit 52eabbd was merged into the master branch on Feb 26, 2026.

The workflow run 1201 related to the merge into the master branch was successful. The macos-latest runner image was 20260209.0147.2 with OS Version: macOS 15.7.3 (24G419) for both jobs.

The following workflow run 1202 related to pushing the tag v5.2.1 (created by semantic-release) to the master branch, failed in the macos jobs. Both jobs in this workflow consistently used the later runner image 20260217.0157.1 with OS Version: macOS 15.7.4 (24G517) and both reported the error:

"osVersion": "macOS - 15.7.4.... (Expected: macOS - 15.7.3)",

Version overview

Job Branch / Tag Container Image OS
macos-latest main 1 20260209.0147.2 macOS 15.7.3
macos-latest main 2 20260209.0147.2 macOS 15.7.3
macos-latest v5.2.1 1 20260217.0157.1 macOS 15.7.4
macos-latest v5.2.1 2 20260217.0157.1 macOS 15.7.4

Desired behavior

The macOS version provided by GitHub Actions was consistent within each of the two different branches / tags (for main: macOS 15.7.3, for v5.2.1: macOS 15.7.4). Cypress Cloud should keep these two workflows separate from each other and not compare versions across different branches / tags.

There should be no error reported in this situation.

Test code to reproduce

GitHub Actions workflow: .github/workflows/using-action.yml

The issue is however currently not reproducible because the GitHub Actions runner images show
macos-latest (alias macos-15 & macos-15-xlarge)
for the image macOS 15 Arm64 with no currently pending macOS 15 rollout in progress.

Cypress Version

15.10.0
