Summary

The weekly E2E unit-gap collector previously reread every failed log and continued after GitHub access failures. It now collects at most 50 uncached logs per invocation, reuses private sanitized evidence, and stops on authentication, authorization, or rate-limit failures.

Changes

  • Cache normalized job names and sanitized signatures by GitHub run ID and attempt with private filesystem modes.
  • Limit each invocation to 50 uncached failed-log reads and direct the operator to reuse the cache for the next batch.
  • Stop workflow-list and failed-log collection when GitHub rejects access or reports a rate limit.
  • Sanitize logs before retention and correct the npm run e2e:unit-gaps entry point.
  • Add regression tests for cache reuse, attempt separation, cache validation, access failures, high-volume batches, and executable invocation.
  • Update the owning E2E guide with cache custody, rerun, and cleanup requirements.

The escaped defect came from an incomplete test boundary in #9256. Its tests covered parsing and report grouping but did not execute the npm entry point or model a high-volume seven-day collection.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The unit-test gap tool now supports cache-backed, resumable GitHub evidence collection. It validates cache and offline modes, normalizes logs, limits failed-log reads, classifies GitHub errors, and adds coverage for caching, batching, integrity, CLI failures, and offline execution.

Changes

Unit-test gap evidence

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI and workflow collection
tools/e2e/unit-test-gaps.mts
The CLI supports cache and offline modes, accepts injected dependencies, processes workflows sequentially, and reports structured GitHub access and rate-limit errors.
Cache-backed evidence collection
tools/e2e/unit-test-gaps.mts, test/e2e/README.md
The tool validates private cache entries, normalizes signatures, reuses cached evidence, limits uncached reads to 50 failed runs, writes atomically, and reports deferred work. The README documents cache use and cleanup.
Validation and integration coverage
test/e2e/support/e2e-unit-test-gaps.test.ts
Tests cover error classification, cache reuse and integrity, permissions, batching, deferred collection, CLI failures, and offline npm execution.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 13337

The PR is mergeable with owner awareness that the npm entry-point test can hang without a timeout, potentially leaving an orphaned process and causing an opaque CI failure; add timeout and cleanup follow-up is recommended.

372-407: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a case for the symlink rejection in readCachedEvidence.

These two tests cover run-identity mismatch and tab injection. readCachedEvidence also rejects a cache entry that is a symbolic link or that exceeds MAX_CACHE_FILE_BYTES. The symlink guard is the control that stops a cache directory from redirecting a read to an arbitrary file, and no test proves it holds. Add a case that creates a symlink at the expected cache path and asserts the "is not a bounded regular file" rejection.

💚 Suggested test
it("rejects a cached entry that is a symbolic link", async () => {
  await withTemporaryDirectory(async (directory) => {
    const cacheDir = path.join(directory, "evidence");
    fs.mkdirSync(cacheDir, { mode: 0o700 });
    const target = path.join(directory, "outside.json");
    fs.writeFileSync(target, '{"attempt":1,"runId":56789014,"signatures":[],"version":1}\n', {
      mode: 0o600,
    });
    fs.symlinkSync(target, path.join(cacheDir, "56789014-attempt-1.json"));

    await expect(
      collectEvidence([failedRun(56789014)], cacheDir, async () => ""),
    ).rejects.toThrow("is not a bounded regular file");
  });
});

Consider moving the npm entry-point assertion to test/package-contract/.

This test does not import the CLI source. It shells out to npm run e2e:unit-gaps and asserts the produced report. That is an entry-point wiring assertion rather than a behavior assertion. The same report behavior is already reachable in-process through the exported main with --runs-file and --logs-dir, which this file uses for the rate-limit case at Line 414.

Two options: assert the offline report behavior in-process through main, and keep the npm script wiring assertion under test/package-contract/.

As per coding guidelines: "Import CLI source from ordinary tests. Put genuine compiled-artifact assertions under test/package-contract/."

341-370: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the two long-running test cases. The 300-run batching case performs seven filesystem-heavy passes and can exceed the test runner's default timeout on slow CI storage. The executable-entrypoint case launches a child process without a deadline or output cap, so a hang can leave child processes behind or fail with an opaque buffer error. Give the batching case a 30-second test timeout; give the child process a 60-second timeout and 8 MiB output cap, with a 90-second test timeout.

292-313: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider treating a version mismatch as a cache miss instead of a fatal error.

parseCachedEvidence throws for any mismatch, including record.version !== CACHE_VERSION. Today CACHE_VERSION is 1, so this cannot occur. After a future version bump, every operator with an existing cache directory gets a hard failure and must delete files by hand before the weekly review can run.

Separate the two cases: reject run-identity and shape mismatches as tampering, and treat a stale version as a miss that triggers a fresh read.

♻️ Suggested split
-function parseCachedEvidence(contents: string, run: E2ERunRecord): CachedFailureEvidence {
+function parseCachedEvidence(contents: string, run: E2ERunRecord): CachedFailureEvidence | null {
   const parsed = JSON.parse(contents) as unknown;
   if (!parsed || typeof parsed !== "object" || Array.isArray(parsed)) {
     throw new Error(`Cached evidence for run ${String(run.databaseId)} is not a JSON object.`);
   }

Warnings

Warnings do not block.

PRA-1 Warning — Stop failed-log reads before starting another request after access denial

  • Location: tools/e2e/unit-test-gaps.mts:416
  • Category: security
  • Problem: Two concurrent workers can begin failed-log reads before either worker records a GitHub access or rate-limit failure. The shared fatalError state prevents only later worker iterations.
  • Impact: A denied or rate-limited credential can cause one additional failed-log request, which widens the intended GitHub access boundary and can consume limited API quota.
  • Recommendation: Serialize failed-log reads, or use cancellation and an admission boundary that prevents another request after a classified access or rate-limit failure.
  • Verification: Use a controlled runGh stub where the first request rejects with HTTP 403 after the second worker reaches its call boundary; verify that no request begins after the classified failure.
  • Test coverage: Add a collectEvidence test that coordinates two requests and proves an access or rate-limit failure prevents every later failed-log request.
  • Simplification (shrink): Remove Concurrent failed-log workers and the shared fatalError coordination.; use Read failed logs sequentially because each batch is capped at 50 reads.. Net: 0 lines.
  • Keep: Preserve cache validation, the 50-read batch limit, and fail-closed error propagation.
  • Evidence: tools/e2e/unit-test-gaps.mts:405-431 schedules two workers and sets fatalError only after runGh rejects. test/e2e/support/e2e-unit-test-gaps.test.ts:321-345 covers a failure in the first read but does not model an already-started concurrent read.
