* feat(ghidra): admit 32-bit big-endian PowerPC ELF
Recognize EM_PPC as a provider-neutral `powerpc` family that keeps its ELF
class, byte order, type and flags, and admit ELF32 big-endian ET_EXEC through
a bounded Ghidra lane. ELF64, little-endian, relocatable/shared objects and
EF_PPC_EMB are refused with a specific reason; Hopper and IDA do not gain
PowerPC support, and Windows Ghidra P0 is unchanged.
Ghidra's ELF loader selects PowerPC:BE:32:e500:default for a plain EM_PPC
header, which misreads 750-family code. The lane binds
PowerPC:BE:32:default/default in the profile (language_selection
"admitted-lane-v1"), imports with it and checks the reported language. A
language set through REA_GHIDRA_LANGUAGE_ID still replaces the lane default.
Add a source-owned fixture, fixed-encoding probe, GNU readelf cross-check and
the optional `verify:ghidra:ppc` real-provider lane, plus docs/ghidra-ppc.md.

* test(mcp): expect trace_feature to report references the provider truncated
A provider that reports a capped xrefs read makes the trace truncated with a residual unknown for that target. An explicit complete report and a provider that reports nothing leave the trace as before.
* fix(mcp): report references a provider truncated in trace_feature
Executions gain an optional flag for a capped xrefs read, set by the IDA adapter from the upstream cap. trace_feature marks the trace truncated with a residual unknown for that target only when the provider reports a truncation; a provider that reports nothing keeps its previous result. The trace_feature workflow profile is revised so earlier results are not replayed.
* refactor(ida): report reference truncation whenever the runner observed an xrefs cap
* test(mcp): cover session forwarding, per-target state, native reports and failures of the trace coverage
* test(mcp): format the session forwarding test
* test(ida): expect headless IDA to resolve containing procedures from lookups and segment facts
Cover positive and negative containment, segment boundaries including addresses above 2^53, failures of the lookup and of the segment survey, cancellation, input validation and the admitted program as the only document.
* test(ida): expect feature tracing and address context to work on headless IDA
Run trace_feature, including a capped reference read, and inspect_address_context with and without an explicit document through the IDA session client.
* test(mcp): expect trace_feature availability to follow the search operations it calls
* fix(mcp): derive trace_feature availability from the search operations it calls
* feat(ida): resolve containing procedures and report the admitted program as the document
The modern headless profile resolves an address through the function lookup and, when no function contains it, tells a mapped address from an unmapped one using the database-scoped minimal survey. A survey that is missing, truncated or inconsistent fails the read. list_documents reports the single admitted program. The attached profiles do not declare either operation.
* docs(ida): describe containing procedures, the admitted document and truncated feature traces
* test(ida): verify containing procedures, the admitted document and feature tracing on real IDA
* docs(testing): list the headless IDA workflows the real lane verifies
* test(ida): make each survey failure case isolate a single defect
* test(ida): pin large addresses, segment order, document identity, attached refusals and each trace_feature prerequisite
* test(mcp): expect a repeated reference source to be resolved once in trace_feature
* fix(mcp): resolve the containing procedure of a repeated reference source once
* test(ida): trace the fixture procedure and derive probe addresses from its facts in the real lane
* test(process): format processCaptureLifecycle.test.ts after the merge
* test(ida): declare the alignment each synthetic universal slice offset satisfies
* refactor(ida): move the real lane's feature trace assertions into a helper
* test(ida): expect the real lane's feature trace check to accept references to every matched address
* fix(ida): check each trace reference against its own matched address in the real lane
* test(ida): pin that the new operations reject a document other than the admitted program
* refactor(ida): move the real lane's mapped non-function probe into a helper
* test(ida): expect the real lane's mapped data probe to skip strings inside functions
* fix(ida): try the target's strings in order for the mapped non-function probe
* test(ida): declare the real lane helper types for the verifier tests
* test(ida): expect the real lane to reject a listed string that resolves as unmapped
* fix(ida): fail the real lane when a listed string resolves as unmapped
Validate managed reconstruction through the shared artifact and MVID scope boundary, including known/unknown identity contradictions. Forward MCP comparison cancellation into both bundle reads and consolidate pre-cancel coverage.
Verified managed graph/reconstruction and filesystem/MCP cancellation workflows. A controlled missing-signal mutation reads 130 chunks instead of the expected one; cancellation leaves the session unchanged and retry succeeds.
Stop cached metadata replay before a provider write starts, including while its reply is pending or fails after applying the mutation. Keep snapshot import and export disabled until the target is reopened.
Validate failed replies, conflicting provider identity, and overlapping reads through the shared session boundary.
Profile resolution gives Ghidra and Hopper a concrete version, but the
selected candidate's capabilities and the session route kept the
provider's static identity with a null version. binary_session therefore
grouped capability sets under a different identity than the binding and
the selected candidate.
The registry now rebinds the selected provider's capabilities to the
resolved identity once, on the binding, and the route uses them. Evidence
provenance already compensated downstream by substituting the profile
identity; that repair is removed because the route now carries the
resolved identity.

Select exact declaring types before managed signatures and CIL bodies are decoded, preserving caller choices in CLI/MCP Evidence. Keep unmatched names and selected coverage explicit; comparisons and graphs retain unknowns outside their observed scope. Reuse existing metadata ownership/accounting and advertise unique selections through the actual SDK Schema.
Validated with 229 focused tests across 21 files, 11 managed conformance controls, fullstatic/docs checks and real Linux CLI and fresh MCP inspection of two unchanged DLLs. All 118 selected CIL hashes matched original PE-mapped bytes; result/caller-argument parity and unmatched controls passed. Full artifact/native-boundary metadata is complete; whole-assembly members retain the unchanged 64 MiB resource constraint. No target code executes.

Group repeated session tool availability and provider capability facts, preserve complete named contracts and ordered limitations, and remove duplicate catalog descriptors. Update consumers and migration guidance.
Validated by all 31 CI jobs, focused source checks, and actual Claude Code/Linux Hopper/native Windows Ghidra small-target workflows on the current integration tree.

Move artifact inventory, application projection, runtime reconciliation, and TODO scanner suites into their real boundary lanes. Extract Hopper process/socket cleanup cases while keeping injected session cleanup cases in composition.
Validation: all 56 focused tests passed; discovery finds all 876 test files exactly once. Test assertions and provider verification scope are unchanged.
* test(ida): expect a missing procedure to be reported as invalid input
* test(ida): name the invalid_request code and its category for a missing procedure
* fix(ida): report a procedure IDA cannot resolve as invalid input
* test(ida): pin the missing-procedure issue shape and the lookups that stay unreadable
* fix(ida): treat a lookup answer for another query as a producer fault
* test(ida): expect an argument-independent issue path and pin legacy error replies and escaping
* fix(ida): report a missing procedure without naming an argument path
* test(ida): expect provider-derived selectors to stay producer faults in composed workflows
* fix(ida): keep provider-derived procedure selectors out of the caller's input errors
* test(ida): cover session forwarding, parameter hygiene and structured derived-node errors
* docs(ida): describe when procedure resolution blames the caller
Keep failed reader, root descriptor, and output-tree cleanup with the caller. Drain admitted work before close, retry the same retained owners, and block new resource work while cleanup is incomplete. Preserve primary failures and complete inventory observations.
Thread ownership through JavaScript reconstruction, the CLI's one-shot scope, MCP server shutdown, verifier scripts, and test fixtures. Remove redundant ownership flags and the unused validated test wrapper.
Validate with 850 passing focused tests across 90 suites (two skipped), targeted classification and cleanup retries, static and unused-code checks, and real macOS CLI/MCP directory, ZIP, and DMG workflows. Native Windows and deep-analysis providers were not verified.
BREAKING CHANGE: Direct artifact inventory/extraction and JavaScript analysis APIs require an explicit caller-owned ArtifactResourceScope. CLI and MCP input contracts are unchanged.
Validate declared artifact and MVID scopes at managed Evidence admission, and reject conflicting known module declarations across graph inputs. Join boundary tokens to members only under matching known MVID scopes; preserve facts and report partial coverage when scope is unknown.
Prefer an observed MVID-bearing declaration with its supplying Evidence. Normalize GUID casing for module node identity while preserving original strings in observations.
Validation: 285 tests across 34 focused suites passed, followed by the final 12-test managed graph suite and managed CLI/MCP regressions. check:fast and architecture guards passed; no real native providers were run.
* feat(native): admit bounded MIPS ELF analysis through Ghidra
Retain MIPS ELF identity and interpretation through Evidence and snapshots.
Keep provider admission bounded to ELF32 ET_EXEC o32 MIPS32r2, without
implicitly widening Hopper, IDA or Windows P0 coverage. Add source-owned
fixtures and an optional real-provider verifier; real Ghidra verification
remains pending in this contribution environment.
Refs #718
* fix(ghidra): bound MIPS floating-point mode admission
Reject explicit EF_MIPS_FP64 and EF_MIPS_NAN2008 declarations until their
semantics have a real-provider verification lane. Add PSP PRX/Allegrex,
o64/EABI and floating-point-mode refusal regressions. Document that the
header gate is not a full .MIPS.abiflags check and advance the profile lane
identity to invalidate older interpretation bindings.
Validation: 24 standalone checks against the transpiled production profile
module passed; the two new flag cases failed before this change. Clang 17
and LLD compiled the source-owned fixture for both endian targets. The
complete Vitest/typecheck suite and real Ghidra verification remain pending.
Refs morluto/rea#718; PSP support remains follow-up morluto/rea#1330.
* fix(native): validate MIPS ABI records before Ghidra admission
Read bounded ELF32 PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS and SHT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS records through
the already-open target handle. Preserve declared ABI fields, reject
conflicting/duplicate/truncated records, and keep missing records unknown.
Wire inspection into target resolution before provider selection. Require
compatible declarations for the deliberately narrow Ghidra lane and bind
all ABI fields into profile identity (v3) for snapshot invalidation.
Clang 17 produced eight source-owned fixtures spanning both byte orders
and FPXX/FP32/FP64/soft-float modes with identical ELF header flags. The
new reader and policy distinguish them. 24 focused regression test bodies
passed after TypeScript transpilation using node:test in place of Vitest;
strict isolated TypeScript checking of the reader and target/result types
passed. These are limited checks, not full Vitest/project typechecking or
real-Ghidra verification, which remain pending.
Advances morluto/rea#718. PSP/Allegrex remains morluto/rea#1330 follow-up.
* fix(native): repair MIPS integration boundaries and test resolver behavior
Keep ELF targets out of Hopper Mach-O preparation and scope existing PE fixture types correctly. Move ABI tests into the filesystem boundary lane, use shared cleanup, add resolver regressions, apply the pinned formatter, and register the real MIPS verifier through the existing package-command pattern. Validated with repository-pinned Node/npm, check:ci, actual focused Vitest, discovery and docs:check. Real Ghidra conformance remains pending.
* fix(test): honor caller-selected JDK in real MIPS verification
* test(native): strengthen MIPS Ghidra conformance
Cross-check the source-owned fixture with bounded GNU readelf inspection, compare production ELF/ABI interpretation and independent symbol addresses, and verify effective Ghidra language/compiler identity through existing public operations. Add a source-owned fixed-encoding probe for immediate and conditional branch checks plus global/string byte assertions.
Add 16 assertion/producer-boundary regression cases without widening production admission, changing provider contracts, or introducing proprietary dependencies. Local focused suite: 99 passed, one existing root-permission test skipped. Typecheck, lint/module boundaries, formatting and 700-file discovery pass; full hosted checks and real Ghidra verification remain pending for this checkpoint.
* fix(ghidra): preserve native-tool architecture checks after MIPS integration
The conflict-free upstream merge failed TypeScript compilation because includes on the union of MIPS-only and other architecture arrays requires never. Use equality-based membership without casts or changing accepted native hosts. Extend the existing native-decompiler rejection table with a MIPS executable at a Linux x64 tool path; retain upstream FAT and unknown-header behavior. Hosted verification follows this commit; no success is claimed yet.

project_apple_application_graph accepted only IPA inventories. It now
also projects macOS .app directories and ZIP or DMG inventories that
contain applications. It reports application roots, platforms, and
every nested bundle with its path-convention role, layout, parent,
Info.plist path, executable candidates, and signing paths:
- roles: app extensions, XPC services (including inside frameworks),
frameworks, login items, system and driver extensions, plug-ins,
resource bundles, and helper or nested applications;
- privileged helpers in Contents/Library/LaunchServices and launchd
plists in Contents/Library/LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons;
- direct files of Contents/Helpers;
- symlinks by path. Their targets are not inventoried, so versioned
frameworks are described through their real Versions/<version>/
directories.
AppleDouble sidecars (._* and __MACOSX/) are excluded from roles. A DMG
whose contents could not be inventoried is reported as partial. Other
inventory formats remain input errors. The projection still reads no
plist or CMS semantics; it points callers at inspect_plist.
The result schema is additive. projection_id now covers the new fields,
so IPA projection IDs differ from earlier versions.
verify:macos-bundle compiles a source-owned app with clang (CLT only).
It packs it as a directory, a ditto ZIP, and an APFS DMG, and checks
identical anatomy through the CLI with stdio MCP parity. It runs in the
macOS CI job.

Move each error family out of domain/errors.ts into its own module
(base, core, provider selection/adapter, browser observation,
artifact, evidence, unknown registry, hopper, configuration) and
relocate AnalysisErrorProjection to analysisErrorProjection.
Migrate all 162 importers to the owning modules and delete
errors.ts. No re-export shims; behavior is unchanged.
* refactor(domain): consolidate canonical ordering and digest helpers (#624)
* refactor(domain): consolidate canonical ordering and digest helpers
Single owner for code-point ordering (domain/canonicalOrdering.ts)
and canonical JSON digests (domain/comparisonSemantics.ts). Delete
all local compareCodePoints/compareText/digestCanonical duplicates
and migrate every importer. No re-export shims.
* fix(ci): allow slower real browser startup
* chore(config): remove dead eslint, dedupe scripts, cacheable turbo tasks
Delete eslint.config.js (oxlint is the linter), drop lint:dead alias,
pin smol-toml, fold jscpd/scan:todos into check:pr, make test:run
cacheable, align oxlint ignores.
* fix(config): hash all test inputs for cached runs
* docs: fix architecture diagram and pretty-print tool catalog
Drop dangling REPLAY edges, add dotnet/reference/error/evaluation
nodes. Emit 2-space JSON from the catalog generator and regenerate.
* test: extract shared fixtures, drop knip carve-outs
Dedupe android/apple session tests, bundler adapter headers, and
reconstruction helpers into tests/support fixtures. Delete unused
type aliases and the knip ignoreIssues block. Lower jscpd threshold
2.7 to 2.5.
* fix(process): normalize reactive rendered-frame timestamps
A reactive `resize` action stamped `rendered_frames[].at_ms` with the raw
elapsed time while every other rendered frame used
`normalizeProcessElapsedTime`. Under the default 10ms time bucket the next
frame buckets down and appears to move backwards, so `parseProcessCapture`
rejected the entire capture with "rendered_frames: timestamps must be
ordered". No test combined a reactive resize with time bucketing, so the
path was never exercised.
Thread the scenario's bucket into the reactive effect host and normalize the
renderer call, matching what the scheduled-event resize path already did.
`dispatched_at_ms` and `captured_at_ms` stay raw on both paths, so this
changes only the one inconsistent clock.
Also replace the wall-clock-scheduled interactive PTY scenario with
terminal_text triggers. A fixed `at_ms` could fire before the child wrote
its prompt under host contention, dropping the input and the resize echo.
That rewrite is what surfaced this bug, and it now passes deterministically.
Replace the 11 `if (!capability.available) return;` guards across the PTY
suite with a shared it.skipIf gate. The old form reported a green pass with
zero assertions on any host lacking native PTY authority; skips are now
named and reported.
Verified by reverting only the normalization, which reproduces the
validation failure immediately.
* fix(install): add recovery guidance to version-mismatch failure
Every installer failure except one told the user what to do next. The
version-mismatch failure reported only that the installed version did not
match, with no remedy, which contradicts the requirement to keep
diagnostics actionable for mismatch locations.
Add a remedy in the same style as the neighbouring failures and drop the
exemption the test carried for it, so all ten installer failures now assert
they carry a recovery action.
* ci: repair stale curated Windows lane and unblind the duplication gate
The `windows-curated` job listed fifteen test files and nine of them no
longer existed, including six `processOwnership*` files moved to
`src/process/` in 4ecc7a72. Vitest silently drops unmatched paths, so the
job ran six files and reported success. Repoint the paths at their current
locations and add a test that fails when any listed path is renamed or
removed, so the lane cannot silently lose coverage again.
The duplication gate ignored `**/*.test.ts`, so it reported zero clones
across the test tree while running on every PR. Include test files, remove
the two largest duplicated clusters, and ratchet the threshold to the
measured result so the gate can no longer pass by not looking.
Run local tests with two workers instead of one. A single worker made a
full local run cost ~140s of wall time at ~100% CPU on a 10-core host,
which was the largest dev-cycle cost in the repository. Local now matches
the concurrency CI already proves green, and PTY scenarios moved to a
serial project because they contend for host terminal resources. Full local
suite: 140s to ~89s.
Regenerate the managed conformance manifest. Commit 4ecc7a72 edited
SKILL.md without refreshing the digest, so `npm run check:pr` has been
failing on main since that commit.
* test: replace implementation lock-in with behavioural assertions
Audit the suite for tests that cost maintenance without catching defects,
then remove the lock-in rather than the coverage.
Replace assertions that froze incidental detail:
- toolContracts.test.ts pinned group sizes and 50 lines of literal tool
names, so any additive catalog change required a test edit. Replace with
four structural invariants: global name uniqueness, group containment in
the published inventory, group disjointness, and non-empty groups. Both
invariants are mutation-checked by orphaning and duplicating a tool.
- Six tests asserted only that a schema accepts its own canonical fixture.
Replace five with real rejections and two with property tests covering
the invariants those tests were gesturing at: `isDbSaveComplete` is
downward closed in every expected count, and frame retention holds at
any size.
- A concurrency test whose fake returned `? [] : []` could not fail. Give
the fake real shared state so a lost update is observable.
- providerProcess.test.ts asserted listener and timer counts plus exact
cleanup retry counts. Assert detachment behaviour instead, so an
unrelated internal timer no longer breaks the test.
- Scale tests that rebuilt removed caps: 16 MiB and 10,001 files to prove
limits that no longer exist, 100,001 frames compared against their own
length, and a projection asserting a literal 10,201 bridge candidates.
Replace with derived relationships that hold at any size.
- installScript.test.ts merged two tables and now asserts alongside the
exact wording that every failure carries a recovery action.
- cdpBrowserProvider.sensitive_data asserted outcomes produced after the
observation window closes while using a zero-length window; give it a
real window so it measures the malformed-body rejection rather than host
speed.
- runtime.test.ts repeated the catalog assertion from the MCP boundary
suite while spawning a second stdio server. Give the database-kind
scenario its own claim and make stale-build failures legible.
Extract two byte-identical fixture preambles that the max-lines rule had
split across five and three files respectively, removing ~1,000 duplicated
lines.
Profile the heaviest files rather than only running them: the Apple
projection test drops from 6.4s to 0.28s and the reference source import
from 2.3s to 0.2s, with stronger assertions in both cases.
* ci: keep native-authority suites out of the curated Windows lane
CI showed the repointed curated list was red. Three of the restored files
require verified Windows native authority, which windows-latest does not
provide by design:
- src/ghidra/GhidraProvider.test.ts, the replacement for the deleted
tests/boundary/providers/ghidra/ghidraProvider.test.ts
- tests/boundary/providers/ghidra/ghidraClient.test.ts
- tests/boundary/process/providerProcess.test.ts
All three fail with PrivateRuntimeRootUnavailableError, because Job Object
process ownership and private-runtime DACL enforcement are unimplemented.
The previous ghidraClient and providerProcess entries were added in this
branch and never belonged here; the GhidraProvider replacement does not
inherit the deleted file's Windows behaviour.
Those claims belong behind the same approval boundary as the real Ghidra
Windows workflow rather than the default lane. Record the exclusion in the
guard test so the lane cannot regress to red, and in ci.yml so the next
reader knows the omission is deliberate.
The lane now runs 14 files, up from the 6 it silently ran before, all
verified green on windows-latest.
* test: stop max-lines from forcing test files to split
The 500-line cap on test files only ever produced duplication. It chopped one
binary session suite across nine files whose names were truncated
mid-sentence, and it is why the curated Windows lane referenced six
`processOwnership*` paths that had been split apart in the first place.
Turn the cap off for tests and fixtures, keeping the function-length limit,
then merge the nine binary session files back into one suite. That restores
all 22 cases under a single module registry instead of nine and cuts the
composition project from 20 files to 12. The merged cases become nine
top-level describes grouped by concern, because a single wrapping describe
would itself breach the function-length limit.
Drop applicationWorkflowVerifier.test.ts. Its first case asserted
`verified: true`, which the script emits as a literal after its own checks,
so it could not fail, and every remaining assertion was `expect.any`. Its
second case asserted an export-shape comparison that
applicationWorkflowCli.test.ts already asserts through the product CLI,
which is the stronger claim.
Finally, five javascriptSemanticAnalysis files imported `it` from
@fast-check/vitest while containing no properties. Import `it` from vitest
so those files no longer read as property-based coverage.
* test: stop creating temp scaffolding the temp helper immediately deletes
`createTestTempDirectory` called `createTestWorkspace`, which creates `home`
and `xdg/{config,cache}`, then deleted two of those three directories so the
caller would receive an empty root. Every caller paid three `mkdir` calls and
two `rm` calls per temporary directory for scaffolding it never used, across
roughly a hundred test files.
Create the directory directly instead. Callers that genuinely need a home or
XDG tree can call `createTestWorkspace`.
* test: merge the split process reactive runtime suite
Five files shared one describe name in pairs and re-imported the same fixture
helpers. With the shared preamble already extracted into
processReactiveRuntime.fixture.ts, merge them into one suite of five
top-level describes grouped by concern. All 12 cases are preserved and the
domain project drops from 92 files to 88.
* test: drop two identity round-trips from node runtime characterization
One test built a plan with `max_calls: 10_001` and asserted the field came
back as 10_001, which asserts that the plan constructor copies a field the
test just set, and freezes a former ceiling in the process.
The other built a 201-character alias and asserted it parsed back to the
same string, which round-trips a value the test created.
Neither could fail for a reason that matters. The remaining cases still
cover preparation, stale-plan rejection, single dispatch, and artifact write.
* test: hoist duplicated graph fixtures into the shared fixture module
Eleven copies of three helpers were spread across the seven
javascriptApplicationGraph files: `completeCoverage` five times,
`nodeByLabel` four times, and `firstOf` twice, all byte-identical. The
fixture module already carried a private `completeCoverage`.
Export all three from javascriptApplicationGraph.fixture.ts and import them,
removing 95 duplicated lines.
* test: separate the reactive fixture's two PTY writes
The multi-source run resolved target_lost instead of passed intermittently.
The ready transition matches terminal text "Ready" and consumes that
observation, advancing the terminal frontier; the collecting state then
needs "Collecting" in a later observation. The fixture wrote both back to
back, so the PTY sometimes coalesced them into one chunk and the collecting
trigger could never match.
Move the "Collecting" write after the synchronous shim probe. The probe takes
real wall time, so the reader has drained the first chunk before the second
is written, which makes the ordering deterministic rather than timing
dependent.
Measured 33/34 isolated passes, against roughly even odds before. Under four
concurrent copies it still failed 2 of 12, so this narrows the window rather
than closing it: the underlying race is that node-pty delivers buffered
output through a callback the exit path never awaits, so the harness can
declare the target lost before the last chunk is ingested. The test is left
strict because it is correctly detecting that.
* test: replace expect.any placeholders with real results
Four acceptance scenarios and one composition scenario asserted only that a
field was a string, number, object, or array. Those assertions cannot fail
for a reason that matters, and three of them sit behind real CLI process
spawns that cost about 1.5s.
Capture the actual results once and assert them exactly. The CLI parity
scenario now pins the trace summary and coverage, the version comparison
summary and coverage, and the source-to-bundle summary and coverage, so each
spawn earns its cost. The MCP rejection case now asserts `invalid_request`
with category `invalid_input`, which is what makes it a caller-input failure
rather than a provider one.
The artifact comparison case asserted three `expect.any` values immediately
before an assertion that subsumed them. Replace them with the claim that
actually matters above 500 entries: manifest counts must reconcile with the
arrays returned, and every written file must appear as an occurrence, so a
reintroduced truncation would fail.
* test: remove impossible and incidental prompt assertions
Two assertions in toolResult could never fail: each asserted that the
serialized result did not contain a string that appears nowhere in its own
inputs, so only in the assertion itself.
promptContracts asserted that a `Set` built from a locally declared six
element literal had no duplicates, and pinned thirteen incidental fragments
of rendered prompt prose. Drop the tautology and reduce the prose block to
the five properties an analyst actually depends on: caller input framed as
data rather than instruction, tools offered as options rather than a
mandated sequence, the epistemic vocabulary present, tools never framed as
authorization, and deterministic suggestion order.
* test: hoist the remaining duplicated graph fixtures
Eight more byte-identical helper copies across the javascriptApplicationGraph
files: `graphForNode` four times, `unknownEvidence` twice, and `contentNode`
twice. Move them into javascriptApplicationGraph.fixture.ts alongside the
three hoisted earlier, and drop the imports they left behind.
Net -92 lines across the seven files.
* test: drop enhancedTools helpers already in the shared harness
Three of the six enhancedTools files still carried local copies of
PROCEDURES, inventory, and emptyBounded that are byte-identical to the
exports added to enhancedToolsHarness.ts. Import them instead.
Only fixturePort, connect, and jsonResult differ per file, so those stay
local.
* test: replace repeated process-tree event literals with fixture builders
The file spelled out nineteen thirteen-field event literals and thirteen-field
process nodes inline, varying only three or four fields each, so a test read as
a wall of repeated boilerplate rather than the transitions under test.
Add eventProcessTree.fixture.ts with spawn, exit, re-exec and reparent
builders plus a process-node builder, and express each case as the sequence it
describes. The test drops from 422 to 214 lines with all nine cases intact.
* test: share the process-ownership validation fixtures
The two process-ownership validation files each declared byte-identical copies
of an `ownership` constant and a 24-line `host` builder. Move both into
ProcessOwnership.fixture.ts and import them.
* test: make rejection and retention assertions exact
The reactive scenario rejection table asserted only that each of its six
fixtures failed to parse. A typo anywhere in a fixture would satisfy that,
including one that invalidated an unrelated field. Record the field each row
is meant to invalidate and require the reported issue to point at that path
with the expected code. Verified by making one row valid except for an
unknown key: the row now fails instead of passing for the wrong reason.
The large-body replay test asserted that the serialized result exceeded five
million characters as a proxy for the bodies being retained, which escaping
or padding could satisfy even under truncation. Compare each retained body to
the input byte for byte and total the retained length. Verified by shaving one
byte off the expected value, which now fails.
* test: share the elicitation grants fixtures
The three processCaptureElicitationGrants files each declared the same five
helpers inline: an elicitation request, a fixed clock, a ceiling-only
permission authority, a request-context builder, and a verified-state stub.
Move them into elicitationGrantsHarness.ts and import them.
* fix(process): wait for trailing PTY chunks before declaring target loss
The exit path drained the reactive coordinator and then submitted
target_lost, but node-pty delivers buffered output through onData callbacks
that run outside the coordinator's queue. A trailing chunk that had not been
delivered yet produced no journal entry, so the drain had nothing to wait for
and the target was declared lost while a terminal trigger was still
satisfiable. That is what made the multi-source reactive fixture resolve
target_lost instead of passed at roughly even odds.
Yield to the event loop until the capture journal stops growing before
draining, bounded so a pathological stream cannot stall exit.
The fixture change that accompanied this is no longer carrying the weight on
its own; the ordering it introduced remains correct and worth keeping.
Measured 18 consecutive passes across isolated and four-way concurrent runs,
against roughly even odds beforehand. A control run with the wait disabled did
not reproduce the failure, so the machine was not loaded enough for a
controlled comparison; the before/after numbers are from separate sessions.
* test: hoist the last duplicated domain and coordinator fixtures
processTraceComparison and its Part2 declared the same eight helpers, and the
two ProcessReactiveCoordinatorFailures files declared the same three. All were
byte-identical. Move them into shared fixture modules and import them, netting
429 fewer lines.
The earlier attempts at this failed because depth-based scanning mis-detected
helper boundaries: bracket characters inside type annotations, such as
`options: { truncated?: boolean }`, unbalance the count. Extracting by verified
line range instead worked first time, and unused imports were then settled by
alternating typecheck and lint rather than by guessing which names a body uses.
* ci: ratchet the duplication gate to the reduced baseline
Test-file duplication is down to 2.58% of lines across src and tests, from
3.39% when tests were first included in the gate. Lower the threshold from
3.2 to 2.7 so the reduction cannot regress.
* test: merge the remaining artificially split test files
Five suites were each split across two or three files by the max-lines rule
that is no longer applied to tests, and every split produced a duplicate
describe name and a duplicated import block.
Merge them back: processTraceComparison, ProcessReactiveCoordinatorFailures,
ProcessOwnership.validation, processCaptureElicitationGrants, and
processCaptureElicitation. Net -62 lines and five fewer files.
Give each merged describe a name describing what it covers, since the splits
were arbitrary and the names now collide. Test bodies are unchanged; every
describe already fitted the function-length limit, so merging them as
separate top-level blocks satisfies it.
Imports were settled by writing each block explicitly after typecheck and lint
disagreed. Lint is right about names that appear only inside string literals,
such as `values(["terminal", "process", "http", "websocket"])`, while
typecheck is right about names a body genuinely references, so neither alone
was sufficient.
* test: merge the graph suite and share the enhancedTools result helper
The seven javascriptApplicationGraph files were one suite with one describe
name repeated seven times. Merge them into a single file with seven
describes named for what each covers, keeping all 18 cases.
Three of the enhancedTools files declared byte-identical copies of a
jsonResult helper. Move it into enhancedToolsHarness.ts alongside the rest of
the shared fixtures.
The remaining enhancedTools files stay split: their fixturePort helpers are
three genuinely different provider doubles rather than duplicates, so merging
them would mean renaming per-file seams and lose the reason each exists.
* ci: repoint the Windows lane at the merged ownership validation file
Merging the split ProcessOwnership.validation files removed the two Part
paths the curated Windows lane referenced. The curated-lane guard test caught
it on CI, which is the failure it was added to prevent.
* test(process): make lifecycle assertions falsifiable and scope them to POSIX
Two assertions could not fail, so neither observed the behaviour it claimed.
The deadline disposal test aborted an already-aborted controller and then read
an immutable interruption, so it passed whether or not disposal released the
timer or the listener. Dispose before aborting instead and assert the owned
timer count reaches zero, which distinguishes a released deadline from a
retained one. Verified by mutation: emptying dispose, dropping the listener
removal, and dropping the timer clear each fail the test.
The supervisor test asserted that a repeated stop still resolved, but stop
caches its promise, so it proved nothing about detachment. Replace it with a
late error and close event after disposal and assert the diagnostic channel
stays untouched, keeping an attached control that proves the channel works.
Verified by mutation: retaining the error listener fails the test.
Also mark the TERM-to-KILL escalation POSIX-only. libuv maps every signal to
TerminateProcess on Windows, where a child that ignores SIGTERM cannot survive
the TERM step, so the escalation and SIGKILL signal code are unreachable there.
* fix(vitest): restore cross-project scheduling for local runs
Dropping the per-project `sequence.groupOrder` made every project run
concurrently. `fileParallelism: false` only serialises files inside a single
project, so `process-boundary` could still overlap with the boundary projects
that observe host process and terminal state, which is the contention that
drops input and resize echoes. The removed blanket per-project serialisation
was slower, but it was never what isolated projects from each other.
Keep the two-worker intra-project parallelism that made local runs fast and
apply the ordering locally only, so CI keeps the concurrency it proves green.
* fix(acceptance): make the database startup record check observable
The check asserted stderr contained no fatal record, but a database-kind
startup that only lists the catalog starts no bridge work and writes no
records at all, so the assertion passed without observing anything. Reading
stderr while the child was still running also raced the pipe, and splitting
the buffer could parse a partial trailing line.
Call a tool so startup records are actually produced, parse only complete
newline-delimited records, and read after the transport closes so delivery is
no longer in question. Guard the result with an explicit non-vacuity assertion
so the fatal check cannot silently stop observing anything.
Verified by mutation: injecting a level-60 record through the stderr logger
now fails the test.
* test(acceptance): restore the application workflow verifier coverage
Nothing else in the repository executes
scripts/verify-local-application-workflows.mjs, so deleting this file left the
only automated check on a shipped script. Regressions in its dist imports,
argument handling, or two-version and export-shape output could ship with a
green suite.
The two cases cost about 350ms and 500ms, so the duplication that motivated
removing them was never the reason to drop the coverage.
Verified by mutation: flipping the reported verification status fails the
suite.
* test(contracts): add a published tool name floor
Every remaining inventory invariant is structural, so deleting a contract from
both its group and the aggregate left the whole file green while the catalog
regenerated without it. Structural checks cannot detect removal; only a
declared baseline can.
Declare the 114 published names as a floor rather than an equality. Adding a
tool still needs no edit, while removing one now fails with a message naming
the tool. Verified by mutation: dropping a contract from its group so the
aggregate loses it too fails the floor.
* test: restore no-ceiling coverage above plausible truncation limits
Four suites claimed a result was complete at any scale while their own inputs
were bounded below where a truncation would appear, so the guarantee they
described was not actually under test. Scale independence cannot be asserted as
a relationship over a fixture smaller than the cap being ruled out.
Raise each fixture past any ceiling a regression would plausibly introduce,
which is far cheaper than the removed cases:
referenceSourceImport 600 entries/64 KiB -> 5,000 entries with a 4 MiB member
customProtocolCapture generated max 40 frames -> 300..1,000
appleApplication 12 frameworks/16 candidates -> 250/1,600
nodeRuntimeCharacterization assert the absent call-budget and alias bounds
where they would be added, since the budget derives from the case count
Verified by mutation: a 1,000-entry import cap, a 500-frame capture cap, a
100-framework projection cap, a 100,000-call budget cap, and a 200-character
alias cap each fail the corresponding suite.
* fix(process): require a quiet period before declaring the target lost
Returning on the first unchanged journal sample granted a single event-loop
turn of grace. A chunk queued on a later iteration therefore still let
`target_lost` be submitted before the final terminal observation, discarding a
satisfiable reactive trigger under the same load-dependent exit scenario the
drain was added for, and `maxTicks` never bounded that because the loop exited
early every time.
Require several consecutive unchanged turns so a callback arriving on any of
the next few iterations still lands first, while keeping the overall tick bound
so a pathological stream cannot stall exit.
* fix: stop a 4 GiB fixture and measure the drain quiet period in time
The reference import fixture cycled its five sizes across all 5,000 entries,
which made a thousand 4 MiB members and nearly 4 GiB of fixture written
concurrently. It happened to fit locally but cannot fit a runner's disk. Cross
the two boundaries independently instead: entry count by volume of tiny
members, byte size by a single 4 MiB member, for about 4.2 MiB total. Verified
by mutation that a 1,000-entry cap and a 1 MiB per-member cap both still fail.
The drain check counted scheduler turns, but consecutive setImmediate turns
elapse in microseconds, so four of them finish long before a pty callback
delayed under host contention, which is when the trailing chunk matters.
Measure the quiet interval in elapsed time instead, so a late callback within
the window still lands before target loss. Verified by simulation: the
turn-count version missed any delay beyond a few microseconds, the timed
version observes delays up to the quiet interval.
