What

CI now fails when suspiciously few tests were counted, even if every one of them passed. pnpm test's leading vitest run is replaced by node scripts/test-floor.mjs, which runs the exact same suite with a machine-readable JSON reporter alongside the normal console reporter, counts the tests the run registered, and fails below a floor of 970 (roughly 90% of the 1081 tests in the suite today). It also refuses to report a pass when the count cannot be determined at all — a run that cannot be counted has exactly the shape of a collection failure.

Why

A green test run only proves "everything that ran passed". It says nothing about whether everything that should have run, ran. A test file that never registers its tests — a rename that slips out of the include globs, a directory dropped from the vitest config, an import-time throw swallowed as an empty collection — leaves the remaining files passing and CI green with a chunk of the suite silently missing. The floor adds the other half of the claim: "and roughly everything we expected to run, ran."

Design choices, all commented in scripts/test-floor.mjs:

  • A floor, not an exact count — an exact count would need editing on every PR that adds or removes a test. 970 leaves room for ordinary churn while still tripping if a whole file's worth of tests disappears. If the suite ever legitimately shrinks below it, lowering TEST_COUNT_FLOOR becomes a visible, reviewed decision in that same PR.
  • Registered tests, not executed tests — POSIX-only process tests self-skip on Windows, and a skipped test still proves its file imported and collected. Counting registrations keeps one floor valid across the whole 3-OS matrix.
  • Wiring via the test script chain — least invasive option: ci.yml is untouched, CI still runs pnpm test, and the other legs (broker:test, test:updater, test:packaged-server) run exactly as before. Local pnpm test gets the same protection for free; test:watch stays plain vitest.
  • The pass/fail decision is a pure function (evaluateRun) so it can be unit-tested without spawning a nested suite; scripts/test-floor.test.mjs pins down every branch (below floor, uncountable summary, nonzero exit, signal death, success: false with exit 0). Those tests run inside the counted suite via a new scripts/**/*.test.mjs include glob.

Test plan

  • pnpm typecheck — clean.
  • Full pnpm test (floor gate + broker + updater + packaged-server) — green; the floor leg counts 1087 tests against the 970 floor.
  • Unit tests for the decision logic: 6 tests in scripts/test-floor.test.mjs, all passing.
  • Mutation check: with the floor temporarily set to 99999, node scripts/test-floor.mjs exits 1 with only 1087 tests were counted, below the floor of 99999 — the gate demonstrably fires end-to-end, not just in unit tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Added safeguards to ensure the automated test suite runs successfully and maintains a minimum test count.
    • Test failures, incomplete test collection, and interrupted runs are now reported clearly.
    • Added coverage for the new test validation behavior.
    • Included script-based tests in the test runner configuration.

A green `vitest run` only proves that everything that ran passed — it says
nothing about whether everything that should have run, ran. A test file that
never registers its tests (a rename that slips out of the include globs, a
directory dropped from the config, an import-time throw swallowed as an empty
collection) leaves the surviving files passing and CI green with a chunk of
the suite silently missing.

scripts/test-floor.mjs closes that gap: it runs the same suite with a JSON
reporter alongside the console one, counts the tests the run registered, and
fails below TEST_COUNT_FLOOR (970 — roughly 90% of today's 1081 tests, a
floor rather than an exact count so ordinary churn never touches it). It also
refuses to report a pass when the count cannot be determined at all, because
an uncountable run has exactly the shape of a collection failure. Registered
tests are counted rather than executed ones so the POSIX-only tests that
self-skip on Windows do not force a per-platform floor.

The `test` script's leading `vitest run` becomes `node scripts/test-floor.mjs`;
ci.yml is untouched and the broker/updater/packaged-server legs run as before.
The pass/fail decision is a pure function with its own unit tests, which run
inside the counted suite via a new scripts/**/*.test.mjs include glob.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The test command now runs a wrapper that executes Vitest, reads its JSON summary, and enforces a minimum of 970 registered tests. Unit tests cover evaluation failures and success cases. Vitest now discovers the wrapper tests.

Changes

Test floor enforcement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Test result evaluation
scripts/test-floor.mjs, scripts/test-floor.test.mjs
The wrapper exports TEST_COUNT_FLOOR and evaluateRun. Evaluation rejects missing counts, failed runs, contradictory exit states, and counts below 970.
Vitest wrapper execution
scripts/test-floor.mjs
The wrapper runs Vitest with standard and JSON reporters, parses the temporary summary, preserves output, cleans up temporary files, and exits with the validation result.
Test command and discovery wiring
package.json, vite.config.ts
The test script invokes node scripts/test-floor.mjs. Vitest includes scripts/**/*.test.mjs in its test patterns.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cf182

The new test command can silently ignore arguments such as test filters, coverage options, and configuration overrides, changing how developers and CI invoke the suite. The PR is not merge-ready until those arguments are forwarded or the behavior is explicitly accepted.
