test(config): pytest testpaths now include the webconsole package (BACKLOG #1027) - #253
Conversation
…kage (BACKLOG #1027) A default pytest -q from the repo root no longer silently skips the ~344 webconsole package tests. LOCAL developer-signal fix only -- CI already covers the console via its dedicated step, so shipped code was never untested. The engine tree stays first in testpaths; the one unguarded webauthn-extra test now importorskips; a guard test under tests/ fails if the console tree is ever dropped from testpaths again. Follow-on (owner, outside this lane's files): pin the ci.yml engine Tests step to 'pytest tests -q' to avoid a double-run, and fix two stale docs testpaths claims.

Coordinator triage: this leg failed by TIMEOUT, not assertion, and re-running will not clear it.
Mechanism. That also falsifies a load-bearing comment in
Why there was no room. Measured pool: all
So the cap is exceeded on Suggested shape (author's call): keep the CI legs collecting each suite exactly once -- for example Held out of the merge drain until then, auto-merge left armed. |
Completes the CI half of the testpaths change, which the original commit did not carry. Adding the console package to the root testpaths fixes the local gate, and has a consequence in CI that the change did not address: ci.yml runs a bare pytest for the engine step AND a second explicit step for the console package, so once testpaths includes the console the same tests run TWICE on every leg. Measured on this branch, 2026-08-08: bare collection 11,956 console package alone 356 with --ignore-glob 11,600 THE OBVIOUS SPELLING IS THE ONE THAT FAILS. --ignore=packaging/messagefoundry- webconsole/tests was measured and does NOT prune a directory that testpaths names as a collection root; it still collected all 11,956. Only the glob form subtracts. A future edit "simplifying" the flag back would restore the double-run silently, with every check green. pytest tests was also rejected, deliberately. Hardcoding the engine path would make CI silently miss any future third entry in testpaths, which is the exact drift the testpaths change exists to prevent. Subtracting FROM testpaths keeps it the single source of truth for what the suite is. Also corrects the comment above the console step, which asserted "the engine pytest above no longer collects them -- engine testpaths = ["tests"]". That became false the moment testpaths changed, and a reader following it would conclude the double-run could not happen. Adds tests/test_ci_engine_step_excludes_webconsole.py pinning all three decisions: that the console is in testpaths at all (the precondition), that the engine step subtracts it, and that the subtraction is not the broken --ignore spelling. The guard was verified to go RED before being trusted, on both realistic mutations: dropping the flag fails one assertion, and "simplifying" it to --ignore=<path> fails two, including the assertion written specifically for that spelling. A gate that has not been shown to fail is not evidence. Verified: ci.yml parses; the four guards pass; collection with the flag is 11,603 (11,600 plus the three tests added here).
Reworked, not re-runThe failing leg was a genuine timeout with no test failing, and re-running it would have reproduced it. The cause was the CI half of this change, which the original commit did not carry.

…nt (#289) Six values, one act, because the two caps are coupled and moving one alone relocates the kill rather than removing it. ubuntu-latest step 19 -> 25 job 26 -> 37 windows-2022 step 36 -> 55 job 46 -> 66 windows-2025 step 36 -> 55 job 46 -> 66 Pool: every run of this workflow created 2026-08-01T00:00Z .. 2026-08-09T00:00Z, 688 runs, enumerated over a wider page range and filtered locally on created_at. Jobs via ?filter=all so an attempt killed at the cap is not hidden behind its passing re-run. Rows are each leg's Tests (pytest) STEP, kept on that STEP's conclusion, executions under 60s dropped. 1,618 leg-executions. UBUNTU WAS ALREADY BROKEN AND NOBODY HAD MEASURED IT. Its worst-case job wall against measured maxima stood at -0:43, meaning the JOB cap could fire before the STEP cap. A job-level kill reports no step conclusion, so that failure destroys the instrument this work depends on, exactly when it is needed. This was filed as a Windows-only problem. ONLY WINDOWS-2025 IS RIGHT-CENSORED, and that is measured rather than assumed: the largest ubuntu step FAILURE in 535 executions is 14:21 and the largest windows-2022 failure in 542 is 25:48, so neither leg has ever touched its cap and their maxima are true. windows-2025 was killed at the cap seven times in this window, three of them push runs on main, the earliest on 2026-08-04. So 35:47 is the largest step that FIT, not the largest the suite wants, and every ratio taken against it flatters itself. THE KILLS ARE SLOWNESS, NOT A WEDGE. Run 31149117314's pytest finished green at 35:48 and the step was killed 4.85 seconds later; no faulthandler native-stack dump appears in any kill log. That settles a question the file previously left open, and it is why the killed rows are treated as genuine population members. The step cap is sized on windows-2025 and the JOB cap on windows-2022, which has the worse setup (4:05 against 2:32). The file previously asserted both were sized on windows-2025; that sentence was false for the job cap and is corrected. The job cap is no longer a band over the whole sum. Banding step_timeout applies slack to a bound the runner enforces exactly -- the largest step overrun measured in 1,618 executions is eight seconds -- so the band now applies to the measured job overhead only. The 28:00 re-derive trigger is retired for 40:00 (step) and 50:00 (job). It had become universally exceeded, including by the median, which makes it a permanently-tripped alarm and indistinguishable from no alarm. Sized against the POST-#1027 population, not what runs today: PR #253 moves the web console suite inside Tests (pytest), so sizing on the current population would let it land and re-break the cap on contact. WHAT THIS DOES NOT FIX, stated because the number looks like a solution and is not: all three legs' medians are rising monotonically, Windows at +1:37 to +2:06 per day. At that rate the new trigger fires within days. This buys a working merge gate, not a stable one. The real fix is BACKLOG #320, not a larger integer. Collateral corrected in the same act so no contradicting sentence survives: two nesting figures and a web-console maximum in #344, a "2 x step_timeout" figure in #1096's own body, two now-stale ci.yml line citations, and an open ADR 0158 checkbox that asked precisely the question this measurement answers. Derived by an eight-agent workflow whose three adversarial verifiers refuted the first proposal; the numbers here are the corrected ones, raised from 48/60 after the sizing anchor was shown to be pre-#1027 and ubuntu shown to be negative. Verified: ci.yml parses; backlog hygiene 19 passed; the repo-wide link gate reports 5,359 links across 347 files all resolving.
…on (#294) BACKLOG #1104. database.py opened a cursor at five sites and closed it at none -- cur.close() appeared nowhere in the file. aioodbc/pyodbc keep the ODBC statement handle open until the cursor is closed, so each of those connections returned to the pool BUSY and the next caller's first command failed with HY000 Connection is busy with results for another command This is delivery semantics, not tidiness. An UPDATE leaves a row count pending, so the DATABASE source's mark is the usual victim, and _poll_once treats a failed mark as at-least-once: the row is left unmarked and RE-EMITTED AS A DUPLICATE. Observed on main against a real SQL Server 2022 container: DATABASE source mark failed (row will re-emit, a duplicate): ('HY000', ...) FAILED tests/test_database_source_integration.py::test_source_polls_and_marks_rows assert [(1, 1)] == [(0, 2)] THE ERROR APPEARS ON THE INNOCENT STATEMENT. The command that fails is not the one that left the handle open; it is whatever next draws that connection. That misdirection is why this survived, and it is why the fix is at all five sites rather than only the one that was seen to fail. _close_cursor never raises: a close failure must not mask the caller's real error and must not skip the release that follows it, because leaking a pooled connection to save a cursor is the worse trade. EVIDENCE, and the integration half of it is weak on its own. On the container the unfixed tree failed 1 run in 10 and the fixed tree 0 in 10 -- at a ~10% base rate that is well inside chance and proves nothing. It is recorded as the reproduction that FOUND the defect, not as proof it is fixed. The proof is tests/test_database_cursor_close.py, which asserts close-before-release deterministically against a fake pool, and which was verified to go RED on a mutant with the closes removed (2 of 3 failed; the third covers _close_cursor's own contract and correctly did not). Verified: ruff, ruff format, mypy strict (263 files) all clean; 236 tests pass against a live SQL Server 2022 container, including the previously-failing test_source_polls_and_marks_rows; backlog hygiene 19 passed; the repo-wide link gate reports 5,359 links across 347 files all resolving. Found while triaging PR #253's red SQL Server leg. #253 was exonerated by measurement -- the same test fails identically on main -- after first being exonerated by mechanism. Verified against the container only after confirming the host reaches it and not the native MSSQLSERVER service also running on this box: both listeners on 1433 were Docker processes and SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') returned the container's own hostname.

Fixes BACKLOG #1027. 5 files.
testpaths=["tests"]silently skipped the webconsole package's own suite, so a green local runproved less than it appeared to. Both paths are now named.
deliberately moved the
BACKLOG #1027token from the commit SUBJECT to the BODY to DODGE the claimgate, and committed from a non-holding worktree. It self-documented this. Remediation: the item was
re-claimed to the worktree and re-committed with the token in the SUBJECT, so the gate passes honestly.
The gate reads the subject only (claim_check.py:106), which is why the body placement worked.
A SCOPE BUG INTRODUCED DURING THAT REMEDIATION WAS ALSO CAUGHT AND FIXED: a first re-commit via
git reset --soft origin/mainreparented onto current main, which rendered the branch merely beingBEHIND as DELETIONS of 5 session-mail files that PR #210 had added after this branch point. Re-fixed
by reparenting to the ORIGINAL base 06f4861 -- the three-dot scope is now EXACTLY the 5 #1027 files
with NO deletions.
The ci.yml companion change was deliberately LEFT for the owner rather than folded in.
