test(workspace): replace aggregate worktree timeout with phase-aware assertions - #696
Conversation
Stage 1 of #695: observability only. No assertion, argument, ordering, or timeout value changes, so a passing run stays a passing run. The failing Windows test body is entirely synchronous, and Vitest cannot interrupt a synchronous body. A sync busy-wait of 3000 ms under a 1000 ms per-test timeout runs to completion and is only then reported as "Test timed out in 1000ms". The 20 s bound on this test is therefore a post-hoc elapsed-time verdict with no phase attribution and no deadlock protection -- it cannot say which of the 22 phases was slow on Windows. Adds a test-only phase runner with stable phase names, per-phase durations, failures that name the exact phase, and cleanup recorded separately so a cleanup error can never erase the original failure. The previous empty catch around `git worktree remove --force` silently discarded cleanup failures; they are now visible. Phase output is unconditional in this stage to collect Windows Node 20/22 evidence from protected CI. Stage 2 makes it failure-only and replaces the aggregate bound. Refs #695. Related parent: #654. #654 remains open.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds phase tracking for unit tests. It records timing, status, failures, cleanup errors, and deadlocks. Workspace tests now use phase-based setup and teardown, bounded Git commands, structured diagnostics, linked-worktree checks, and stale-registration validation. ChangesPhase-aware workspace tests
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to This test-only refactor has no production behavior impact. A localized cleanup issue can leave temporary test resources behind when phase names collide and weaken failure diagnostics; the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

…time Stage 2 of #695. The correctness contract no longer depends on a single wall-clock budget. Phase evidence from six green lanes (run 31730399080) shows no phase is anywhere near the bound: a healthy Windows total is 8.3-8.7 s against 20 s, a margin of ~2.3x. Within that same green run the identical phases cost 2998 ms on ubuntu Node 20 and 7486 ms on ubuntu Node 22 (2.5x), and generate-graph ranged 1488-4102 ms (2.8x). The bound sat inside the noise band, which is why attempt 3 failed where attempts 1 and 2 passed. About 25% of the Windows cost is repeated git subprocess spawning: assert-routing (1437 ms) plus three resolve phases (643 ms) come from ~21 spawns. The monolithic test is replaced by a shared fixture plus focused tests, so the largest single unit is one generate call rather than a 22-phase sum. Every remaining timeout is deadlock protection justified against measured data, never a correctness criterion: each git subprocess carries a 30 s limit (~170x the slowest observed command, 177 ms) and per-unit limits are 60 s (~15x the slowest observed phase, 4102 ms). A per-test timeout cannot interrupt a synchronous body, so the git subprocess limits are the only real hang protection here; the outer limits are a last-resort alarm. Adds coverage the previous contract lacked: spaces and non-ASCII in the fixture path, explicit Windows separator inputs on every platform, real worktree-add failure attribution, verification that git worktree list --porcelain retains no stale registration, and actionable git errors that carry argv and stderr instead of a bare "Command failed". Cleanup is owned by an explicit runner: it runs after failure in worktree creation, generation, assertions and removal, records failures separately, and can never erase the original failure. Deterministic helper tests use an injected clock, so a logical run exceeding 20 s is proven harmless without burning 20 real seconds. Timeline output is quiet on success and survives a post-hoc timeout verdict. No global timeout change, no retry, no skip, no quarantine, no worker-count change, and no production code change.

The per-test bound is not a deadlock mechanism and must not be presented as one. Vitest cannot interrupt a synchronous body, so a per-test timeout can never rescue a wedged git process; only the per-subprocess `timeout` on each `execFileSync` call can, because it kills the child and returns control. Renames TEST_DEADLOCK_LIMIT_MS to NON_GATING_ELAPSED_CEILING_MS and rewrites both comments accordingly. No behavior change. The override is kept rather than dropped in favour of the config default because that default is 15 s off Windows, which would leave only ~4x margin on the ubuntu coverage lane (slowest unit there 3469 ms) against the 2.9x cross-lane variance measured for that same unit -- close to the ~2.3x margin that already failed once. 60 s leaves ~17x and cannot act as a gate.

I found one blocking concern. P1 — Indirect Git subprocesses still have no deadlock limit
However, the tests invoke Git through production code that bypasses this helper:
A hung Git subprocess on these paths blocks the synchronous worker. It cannot return an error for The direct Git fixture commands meet the requested deadlock contract. The indirect Git commands do not. Add a bounded subprocess policy to the production Git helpers, or revise the PR objective so it does not claim deadlock protection for these paths. The first option is a production change and conflicts with the current test-only scope. I confirmed the following non-blocking points:
|
#695 item 12 requires a hung or failed phase to fail with the phase name *and* retained diagnostics. The behavior retained them on `PhaseFailure.timeline`; no test asserted it, so the criterion was satisfied by the implementation and unproven by the suite. The deadlock test now runs a completed phase before the hanging one and asserts both records travel with the thrown failure, names and durations included. Mutation-checked: replacing the carried timeline with an empty array fails this test and only this test. Also documents why `PhaseFailure.timeline` holds a live reference while `timeline()` returns a copy. The asymmetry is deliberate -- a failure has to carry the cleanup phases that ran after it, because whether cleanup succeeded is part of diagnosing the failure, and snapshotting at throw time would discard exactly the evidence a post-hoc timeout verdict already fails to produce. The comment exists so a reviewer finds the answer in the file rather than reading it as an oversight. No behavior change. Refs #695. Related parent: #654. #654 remains open.
CodeRabbit found that the deadlock contract was claimed more broadly than it holds, and the finding is correct. The 30 s bound covers only Git commands the fixture invokes directly through the `git()` helper. Git reached indirectly is unbounded: `gitPath()` in `src/shared/workspace.ts` sets no `timeout`, so the three spawns behind every `resolveMadarWorkspace()` call -- and everything `generateGraph()` resolves through `resolveMadarOutputDirectory()` -- can still hang the synchronous worker. Those indirect spawns are the majority, and by this branch's own measurements they dominate Windows cost. The comment now states that boundary rather than implying whole-file coverage. Understating coverage is recoverable; claiming protection that does not exist is not. Production is deliberately untouched. The gap is pre-existing, and closing it would change behavior for every Madar invocation -- a wedged Git would begin returning `null` instead of hanging -- which needs its own analysis of what bound is safe for legitimately slow Git on large repositories. #695's non-goals forbid that here. Recorded separately for the maintainer, together with the related detail that `gitPath()` swallows all errors via `catch { return null }`, so a timeout added there would surface as a silent null unless both halves are fixed together. Comment only. No behavior change. Refs #695. Related parent: #654. #654 remains open.
Review found the tests were not independent, and the finding is correct. I
reproduced it before changing anything:
npx vitest run tests/unit/workspace.test.ts \
-t "routes conventional out paths outside the linked source checkout"
→ Error: Linked worktree fixture was not resolved
Tests 1 failed | 7 skipped (8)
Four of the five linked-worktree tests failed alone. `beforeAll` built the
repository, but the three resolved workspace objects were assigned inside the
first test, so every later test threw when that test did not run. The
incremental-update test additionally relied on an earlier test having written
`feature.ts` and generated a baseline graph. One test body was acting as
another test's setup, and whole-file runs cannot detect that.
All shared state now lives in `beforeAll`: repository, linked worktree,
linked `src`, the three resolved workspaces, the baseline `feature.ts`, and a
baseline graph for the update test to update from. Per-test fixtures were
rejected deliberately -- a fresh repository, worktree and graph per test would
multiply the ~21 indirect git spawns and the generateGraph cost across five
tests, recreating the aggregate-runtime exposure this branch exists to remove.
The update test restores `feature.ts` to the baseline in a `finally`, so it
leaves the fixture as it found it. Setup now owns its own failure path: a
partial `beforeAll` does best-effort cleanup, records cleanup failures
separately, attaches them to the original error, and rethrows the original
rather than replacing it. `afterAll` tolerates a fixture that was never built,
so it cannot stack a second confusing error on the first.
Also adds a liveness test for `PhaseFailure.timeline`. The retained-diagnostics
test would pass against a throw-time snapshot; this one asserts cleanup records
created *after* the throw appear on the caught failure, so a future refactor
converting the live reference to a copy fails instead of going green.
Verified: all seven named tests pass alone from fresh invocations, three
shuffle seeds pass, the file passes three times each at --maxWorkers=1 and 4,
--reporter=hanging-process reports nothing, and no fixture temp directories or
stale worktree registrations remain.

Two accepted review findings. `cleanup()` could throw on a duplicate phase name because `reserveName` sat outside its `try`. Every other path in that function routes into `failures` and deliberately never throws, since callers invoke it from `finally`, where a throw replaces the in-flight work failure -- the one outcome the function exists to prevent. Nothing collides today, so this was latent, but the failure mode is that a future edit silently destroys the diagnostic this branch exists to preserve. A duplicate cleanup name is now recorded as a zero-duration cleanup failure and the callback still does not run. That path touches neither the injected clock nor the timeline, so clock-budgeted tests and the phase record sequence stay intact. `phase()` is unchanged: it throws from the try position, not from `finally`, so it masks nothing. The `emit` branches were untested. `emit(true)` with all phases passing is the path `usePhaseRun` takes for a failing test -- the exact path that produces diagnostics in CI -- so a regression there would have removed diagnostics without failing any test. Now covered, along with `emit()` for a cleanup-only failure and `usePhaseRun` itself, including its default console.log sink and its onTestFinished wiring. Observing that wiring requires a genuinely failing test, so it uses `test.fails` with the observation asserted in `afterAll`, where a lost emission fails the file rather than being absorbed by the expected failure. Both guards mutation-checked. Making `usePhaseRun` stop reporting failure state fails the lifecycle assertion; restoring the throwing duplicate check fails both new duplicate tests. Helper restored byte-identical after each. Also documents that `totalMs` sums phase durations and can exceed elapsed time when phases nest. The field is not renamed -- it appears in the emitted line CI greps. Declined from the same review: splitting the marked-deadlock scenario, and renaming `totalMs`. Refs #695. Related parent: #654. #654 remains open.

So a duplicate name yields a failing test naming the duplicate, not a silent leak. A leak accompanied by a red test is a materially different defect from one that passes.
The proposed fix also carries a cost the review does not account for. Suffixing to name#N and running the callback would consume injected-clock values and push an extra record into the timeline. Several tests in workspace-phase-run.test.ts are clock-budgeted with scripted now() sequences and assert exact timeline contents, so that change is not free — it would require reworking those assertions. The current design deliberately touches neither the clock nor the timeline on this path.
Assessment: latent (no names currently collide), test-only, loud on failure, and the remedy has a real cost. Not remediating before merge. Recorded here so the trade-off is visible rather than implicit.
2. Signature constraint on phase-run.ts:26-27 — declined
Self-rated Low value. No behavioural defect.
3. Coverage for a thrown non-Error value — reasonable, not blocking
Correct that causeMessage's fallback and the isDeadlock primitive guard are unexercised, since every test throws an Error. These are defensive branches whose absence of coverage cannot produce a wrong result today. Worth adding opportunistically; not worth reopening a qualified head and invalidating three completed six-lane matrices.
Review provenance, stated plainly
CodeRabbit's earlier review covered 15d3144f and was rate-limited. This review is its first on 9530e48b, the merge head. Both findings it raised against 15d3144f were remediated in 9530e48b, and both remediations were mutation-tested by the maintainer: inverting the usePhaseRun emit condition kills exactly the lifecycle assertion, and restoring the throwing reserveName kills the duplicate-name tests.

The bound could not do what it appeared to do
The test body is entirely synchronous, and Vitest cannot interrupt a synchronous body. Measured directly: a sync busy-wait of 3000 ms under a
1_000ms per-test timeout runs to completion —[probe] sync body finished after 3000 ms— and is only then reported asError: Test timed out in 1000ms.So the
20_000bound was a post-hoc elapsed-time verdict. It named no phase, and it provided zero deadlock protection — a genuinely hung synchronous phase blocks the worker forever and the timer can never fire. Note also thatvitest.config.tsalready allows 30 s on Windows; this test's own20_000override was tighter than the platform default on the one lane that needed the most headroom.Phase inventory (contract before this PR)

linked-worktreetotals and largest phases, in ms:Slowest single git command anywhere in the matrix: 177 ms. Slowest single phase anywhere: 4102 ms.
Identified failing phase — and why no single phase is the answer
No phase approaches 20 s. The failure is a property of the aggregate, and the evidence says so precisely:
generate-graphranged 1488–4102 ms (2.8x) on identical code.The cost is concentrated, though, and that shapes the fix:
generate-graphis 38% of the Windows run,generate-update23%, and ~25% is repeated git subprocess spawning —assert-routing(1437 ms) plus the threeresolve-*phases (643 ms) come from roughly 21resolveMadarWorkspacespawns at 50–120 ms each on Windows.Attributing this to one phase would have been a guess; the aggregate structure is the defect.
Architecture choice
Split the 22-phase monolith into a shared fixture plus focused tests, so the largest single unit is one
generateGraphcall rather than the whole sum. A wall-clock verdict then names its unit structurally, and the correctness contract is carried by assertions.The two limits, named honestly
Only one of them is a deadlock mechanism.
GIT_DEADLOCK_LIMIT_MS = 30_000on every git subprocess — this is the mechanism.execFileSync'stimeoutkills the child and returns control, which is the only interruption available in a synchronous body. The previous contract ran 22 phases with no subprocess timeout at all, so a wedgedgit worktree addwould have blocked the worker permanently with nothing able to rescue it. 30 s is ~170x the slowest observed git command (177 ms), so it can only fire on a genuine hang.NON_GATING_ELAPSED_CEILING_MS = 60_000per unit and per hook — this is not deadlock protection and is not presented as such. Vitest requires a per-test bound; this one is parked far outside the measured envelope so it cannot act as a gate. The slowest unit across six lanes is 3617 ms and that same unit varies 2.9x between lanes, so 60 s leaves ~17x.What the 30 s bound does and does not cover
Stated exactly, because overstating it would be the same failure this PR exists to correct. The bound applies to Git commands the fixture invokes directly through the
git()helper. Git reached indirectly is not bounded:resolveMadarWorkspace()→gitPath()atsrc/shared/workspace.ts:30callsexecFileSync('git', …)withencoding,stdioandwindowsHidebut notimeout(grep -c timeout src/shared/workspace.ts→ 0). EachresolveMadarWorkspace()call spawns up to three such commands.generateGraph()reaches the same unbounded path viaresolveMadarOutputDirectory()(src/infrastructure/generate.ts:360).Those indirect spawns are the majority, and by this PR's own measurements they dominate Windows cost. A hang there blocks the synchronous worker exactly as before, and
NON_GATING_ELAPSED_CEILING_MScan only report it after the fact — the precise property this PR establishes a per-test bound cannot provide. So for those paths the ceiling is a post-hoc report, not protection.This is a pre-existing production gap. This PR did not create it; it only needed to stop claiming coverage that does not reach it. Closing it would change production behavior — a wedged Git would begin returning
nullafter N seconds instead of hanging, which affects every Madar invocation and needs its own analysis of what bound is safe for legitimately slow Git on large repositories. #695's non-goals forbid production changes, so it is deliberately out of scope here and recorded separately for the maintainer.One detail worth carrying into that separate issue:
gitPath()also swallows every error withcatch { return null }. So even if atimeoutwere added there, a killed Git would surface as a silentnullrather than a diagnosable failure. Both halves need addressing together.Credit: found by CodeRabbit at
97a65528, verified against source before being written up here.Why keep the override at all rather than letting the config default stand? Because the default is 15 s off Windows, and the slowest unit on the ubuntu coverage lane is 3469 ms — a ~4x margin against 2.9x measured variance for that unit. That is the same shape of exposure that just failed at 2.3x. An explicit, justified, non-gating value is safer than inheriting a tight one.
On reducing the git spawns
The spawn cost is confirmed as the dominant Windows factor: ~25% of the old test's Windows runtime, and
routes conventional out pathsis still 1667–2759 ms on Windows because each expectation re-entersresolveMadarWorkspacefor three more spawns.The three explicit
resolveMadarWorkspacecalls are now resolved once and reused across units, which removes those spawns from every later test. The remaining spawns cannot be hoisted: they happen insideresolveWorkspaceGraphPath,resolveWorkspaceOutputPathandvalidateGraphOutputPath, which are the functions under test. Each of the eight inputs (out/graph.json,./out/graph.json, the four backslash forms,out/compare) is a distinct routing case, so removing a call removes a correctness check. The structural split is what neutralizes the risk instead: that unit now sits against a non-gating ceiling rather than sharing one budget with graph generation.Before / after contract

finally.cleanup()never throws inline, so it cannot pre-empt an in-flight failure; errors accumulate and are raised afterwards as anAggregateErroronly when the work itself succeeded. Cleanup covers failure during worktree creation, graph generation, assertions, and worktree removal, and the four failure classes stay distinct: assertion failure, generation failure, worktree-remove failure, filesystem cleanup failure.Proof that the timeline survives a post-hoc timeout — one real test's limit temporarily set to 1 ms, then reverted:

Test independence
Review found the tests were not independent, and it was a real defect. Reproduced before changing anything:
Four of the five linked-worktree tests failed alone.
beforeAllbuilt the repository, but the three resolved workspace objects were assigned inside the first test, so every later test threw when that test did not run; the update test also relied on an earlier test having writtenfeature.tsand generated a baseline graph. One test body was acting as another's setup — and whole-file runs, however many times repeated, cannot detect that.All shared state now lives in
beforeAll. Per-test fixtures were rejected deliberately: a fresh repository, worktree and graph per test would multiply the ~21 indirect git spawns and thegenerateGraphcost across five tests, recreating the aggregate-runtime exposure this PR exists to remove. The update test restoresfeature.tsin afinally.beforeAllowns its own failure path — best-effort cleanup, cleanup failures recorded separately and attached, original failure rethrown — andafterAlltolerates a fixture that was never built.Independence proof (macOS, local)

If the emission is ever lost, theafterAllfails and takes the file with it. The spy also suppresses the output, so the run still emits zero[phase-run]lines and the CI zero-emission check stays meaningful.The path matters because it is the one that produces diagnostics when a test fails in CI. Left uncovered, a regression there would delete those diagnostics without failing anything.
