Summary

Windows CI run 32340498394 was dispatched at the release head. Three of its results were measurement artefacts rather than defects in this repository, and each one is fixed here.

Shard 1/4 was cancelled at 15m12s while still executing tests. A cancelled shard is neither a pass nor a fail: it removed the WP13 composed-acceptance cases from the evidence entirely, which is exactly the set #2178 was written to fix. The other three shards finished at 14-15 minutes, so the 15-minute ceiling was inside the noise band rather than above it. Raised to 25. A wedged shard still dies; the difference is that a completed shard is now the normal outcome, and the ceiling also covers the second attempt the Bun crash retry is allowed to make.

orphan cleanup obeys scan and cleanup caps timed out at 100.6s against a 90s budget on shard 4/4 while performing exactly the work it asserts: 521 individually fsync'd durable writes. BULK_DURABLE_IO_BUDGET_MS was sized from a ~34s windows-latest measurement, so at 90s it was measuring runner contention, not a hang. It now carries a Windows-only 180s ceiling, the same shape watchdogMs already uses for its Windows floor.

does not treat a non-executable claude file as an installed CLI cannot express its own precondition on Windows. The fixture writes mode: 0o644 and expects claudeCodeCliInstalled() to return false. Windows has no execute-permission bit, so accessSync(path, X_OK) succeeds for any readable file. The case asserts a POSIX permission semantic; it now skips on win32, as several neighbouring symlink cases in the same suites already do.

Deliberately not in scope

Shard 2/4 also failed CL-10 public bundle and publisher > builds deterministic bundle ids and digests with public publisher key ACL hardening did not complete, thrown from requirePublisherKeyAcl on a real icacls path. That is a genuine Windows-only behaviour question in src/lab/public/signature.ts, not a budget or a platform-semantics gap, and guessing at it from a log would be the wrong move. It is recorded on #2152 with the stack. No file under src/ is touched by this PR.

Verification

  • bun test --isolate tests/ci-workflows.test.ts tests/claude-shell-hook.test.ts — 143 pass, 0 fail
  • bun test --isolate tests/lab-public-evidence.test.ts tests/lab-public-security-regressions.test.ts — 23 pass, 0 fail
  • bun x tsc --noEmit — clean
  • The workflow-shape assertion in tests/ci-workflows.test.ts was updated alongside the timeout it pins, so the 25-minute value is asserted rather than merely present.

The real proof is the next dispatched Windows run: all four shards must complete rather than one being cancelled. That is checked after this merges, since the leg only runs on workflow_dispatch.

Checklist

  • Tests added or updated
  • bun run typecheck passes
  • Focused suites pass
  • Docs updated if user-facing behavior changed (no user-facing behaviour changes; CI and test budgets only)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Windows test reliability by allowing longer CI timeouts and additional time for durable I/O workloads.
    • Prevented platform-specific permission checks from failing where Windows cannot represent POSIX file permissions.
  • Tests

    • Updated CI validation to reflect the revised Windows timeout.
    • Preserved existing assertions for other platforms and test jobs.

…n shards

Run 32340498394 dispatched the Windows leg at the release head and produced
three results that were not defects in this repository:

1. shard 1/4 was CANCELLED at 15m12s while still executing tests. That is
   neither a pass nor a fail, and it silently removed the composed-acceptance
   cases from the evidence. The other shards finished at 14-15 minutes, so 15
   was inside the noise band rather than above it. Raised to 25, which still
   kills a wedged shard and now also covers the second attempt the crash retry
   is allowed to make.

2. `Responses previous_response_id state > orphan cleanup obeys scan and
   cleanup caps` ran 100.6s against a 90s budget on shard 4/4 while doing
   exactly the work it claims: 521 individually fsync'd durable writes. The
   number was sized from a ~34s windows-latest measurement and was measuring
   runner contention, not a hang. BULK_DURABLE_IO_BUDGET_MS now carries a
   Windows-only 180s ceiling, the same shape as the watchdogMs floor.

3. `Claude Code shell-hook reconciliation > does not treat a non-executable
   claude file as an installed CLI` writes mode 0o644 and expects
   claudeCodeCliInstalled() to be false. Windows has no execute-permission
   bit, so accessSync(path, X_OK) succeeds for any readable file and the
   fixture cannot express its own precondition. It now skips on win32, as
   several neighbouring symlink cases already do.

Changes

Windows CI hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
Windows CI timeout contract
.github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/ci-workflows.test.ts
The Windows shard timeout and its test assertion increase from 15 to 25 minutes. The test comment documents the Windows-specific timeout rationale.
Platform-specific test execution and budgets
tests/helpers/test-budget.ts, tests/claude-shell-hook.test.ts
The Windows durable-I/O budget increases to 180 seconds. The non-executable CLI test skips on Windows and keeps its POSIX assertions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 88c4f

The PR changes Windows CI and test budgets without introducing a product correctness or security risk. Only timeout documentation needs alignment, and the remaining retry-path verification is suitable for normal follow-up; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

P2 Badge Allow enough time for a full crash retry

When Bun crashes near the end of the first attempt, this 25-minute job limit still cancels the shard during its retry: the workflow reports normal shard completion at 14–15 minutes, while the Test step reruns the entire shard from the beginning. Size the limit for setup plus two full test attempts, rather than less than twice the observed single-attempt duration, so the promised Windows evidence is not truncated again.

Update the timeout comments to match the configuration: the Windows shard matrix matches Linux, but Windows intentionally uses a 25-minute timeout while Linux remains at 15 minutes. Apply the same clarification to the corresponding assertion comment in tests/ci-workflows.test.ts.
