Both lanes printed a coverage total with no threshold (owner decision E32
D4). No real hit as a lane: the one time the number found anything (5 bugs,
E32) it was read by hand, and since then it was a line nobody acted on. It
was also the most expensive part of the vitest lane, and the run that
flaked in E35 S1. The vitest lane runs without --coverage, the pytest lane
runs plain pytest; docs/development.md gives both on-demand commands, and
the register row says why.
The Gitea Actions gate repeated, after the merge, what a release already runs
before it, and its runner shared the git host's container: one run there
starved Gitea of memory until it stopped answering. The lanes now live in
scripts/check.sh, run the same by the release dispatcher and by hand, and the
gate-contract test holds its lines (the ruff and pip-audit checks read it
instead of the workflow). The two audits only CI ran join the gate: pip-audit
over the lock (pinned in the test image, blocking at any severity) and npm
audit of the production dependencies. The engine contracts drop the CI
containers; the register records that pushes have no server-side gate.
The "class size" item from the quality checklist, measured:
- A shipped file over 800 lines may not grow past its line count today
(13 frontend, 11 backend). No other file may cross 800.
- A function over the complexity limit may not rise, and no new one may
appear. The limit is eslint `complexity` 20 on the frontend (64 functions
over it today) and ruff C901 10 on the backend (32).
- Each is a per-file ceiling. Shrinking is free; an entry back under the
limit must be deleted, so the lists only shrink.
C901 is measured in a test rather than switched on in ruff.toml: ruff has no
per-function baseline, and a noqa would let a function grow without limit.
Coverage (owner decision D4) is printed with no threshold:
`vitest --coverage` (v8) gives 80% of lines, and the pytest lane ends with
the total for app/, 78%. The bar stays "every regression test seen red".
.coverage is ignored by git and kept out of the image's build context.
Three tsc projects held the frontend and NOTHING held the backend: ~36k
lines of `app/`, annotated in 113 of 128 files, that no lane had ever
read. Asymmetric by accident, not by decision.
basedpyright, in basic mode. Measured against mypy on this tree with the
dependencies actually installed — without them basedpyright errors on
every import and mypy's --ignore-missing-imports quietly turns them into
Any and UNDER-reports. Both land ~190-200 errors with the same
distribution, so the choice fell to what differs: basedpyright is ~2x
faster (4.4s vs 7.4s, and this runs on every `siftlode lint`), resolves
our `app.*` imports from its own config with no MYPYPATH, and has a
first-class `--writebaseline`. That last one is the ratchet itself;
mypy would have needed a third-party tool for it.
198 pre-existing errors are baselined, so the lane fails on NEW errors
only and the list burns down epic by epic. A green lane means no new
damage, not a clean codebase.
It runs in the pytest test image rather than on the host, and that is
forced rather than chosen: `requirements.lock` cannot be installed on
Windows at all — uvloop refuses to build there — so a host venv could
only ever be the lock minus a package, and a type checker without the
real third-party packages reports nonsense rather than nothing. The
image installs the pin from requirements-dev.txt, so the lane's version
IS the pin and there is no host copy to drift. The cost is that
`siftlode lint` now needs Docker, which it did not before.
- Home tests mocked the api without downloadIndex, so every card's download button logged a
missing-queryFn error (64 stderr blocks per run).
- QueryState rendered without an i18n instance; Modal.fullscreen awaited a synchronous act,
which React reports as an act environment it does not support.
- pytest: Starlette 1.x's TestClient is built on httpx2 and warned on every run without it
(pinned in requirements-dev); alembic.ini declares its path separator.
Review round 1: the two existing safe_abs_path escape tests both pass even against
the classic buggy `str(path).startswith(str(root))` containment check, so a
regression to that bug would have shipped green. Add the one input that
distinguishes the correct `root not in path.parents` guard: a sibling dir whose name
prefixes the root (/root vs /rootx). Mutation-verified — swapping the guard to
startswith now fails this test. Also corrected the requirements-dev header (installed
by Dockerfile.test, not a nonexistent `dev` stage).
The backend had zero tests. This adds 33, all pure (no DB, no network), plus the
harness to run them in the gate:
- backend/Dockerfile.test: the app's deps + pinned pytest/ruff, code bind-mounted at
run time so it always tests the working tree. Isolated from the prod Dockerfile, so
the published image never carries test tooling.
- requirements-dev.txt: pytest==8.4.2, ruff==0.15.21 (the version the gate already
runs) — the backend lane is now pinned, not just host-global.
- tests: normalize_title (de-shout, hashtag strip, emoji drop, trilingual letters
survive); storage sanitize/rel_path/download_filename and the safe_abs_path
traversal guard (../ and absolute-path escapes rejected — verified by mutation);
links HMAC grants (round-trip, wrong-token, tampered sig/exp, expiry) + is_expired;
a DB-free app-assembly smoke (every router wires up, OpenAPI generates).
DB-backed router smoke (auth/feed/downloads) needs a test Postgres + migrations —
deferred. useCardPager needs hook-test infra (jsdom/renderHook) — deferred.
