What it does
The safety check that protects a job from running twice at the same time: A job was started while its previous run was still running, so the new run did nothing.
When enabled
the check works as described on the Guards page.
When disabled
no event and no mail. The step itself still stops, because two runs of one job never run at the same time.
Risk and how to reverse it
Turning this check off removes a protection: when its condition happens, nothing holds or stops the step and no event is raised. Reversible at once: switch it back on; it applies from the next run.
Requires
Works only while "All guards (safety checks)" is on.
Recommended
Keep the default (off) unless you want this check to hold or stop the step. Change it when: Off by default: only the two brakes stay on (CIs retired by mistake, duplicate vulnerability records) -- this check is a warning you can switch on. Turn it on when you want it to hold or stop the step, and mail, again.
