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 "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.
The DB-backed lane and the two ffmpeg tests skipped SILENTLY when the DB was
unreachable or ffmpeg was absent, so `siftlode check` could print green while
~60 tests never ran. Make the compose lane authoritative:
- SIFTLODE_TEST_REQUIRE_DB=1 in docker-compose.test.yml; conftest.pytest_configure
turns a would-be skip (no Postgres, or no ffmpeg) into a hard UsageError.
- install ffmpeg in Dockerfile.test so the thumbnail/poster tests actually run.
- `-rs` in pytest.ini so skip reasons are always visible.
Add the shared TestClient fixtures the risk-core suites build on: `make_user`
(create + commit a login-ready User), `client` (real auth/session stack, no
current_user override — for login/wallet/epoch), and `as_user` (a client
pre-authenticated as a given user, for tests that aren't exercising login).
The suite was pure-logic only (R2 S2b deferred the DB lane). Add an opt-in `db`
fixture (tests/conftest.py) that hands a test a real session against an ephemeral
Postgres; schema is built with `alembic upgrade head` (the real prod schema needs
the unaccent extension + unaccent_simple TS config that create_all can't provide,
and this also proves the migration chain applies). Each test starts from a TRUNCATEd
clean DB so tests that COMMIT — the whole point, for R6 S2's transaction work —
don't leak.
backend/docker-compose.test.yml wires an ephemeral tmpfs pg + the test image. When
no Postgres is reachable (a plain `docker run`), the DB tests SKIP and the pure-logic
lane is unchanged: 172 passed, 2 skipped. With the DB: 174 passed.
test_db_lane.py smoke-proves commit round-trip + TRUNCATE isolation. The gate wiring
(siftlode.sh) lands in the ops repo.
