Summary

  • Fixes the recurring red CI runs on the unsharded macOS control lane (and one observed Linux-shard hit): different tests each run, all deadline-shaped, all on timing-sensitive suites. The lane's own comment says "the flakes it keeps surfacing are timing, not logic, and the fix is the tests, not a fourth lane" — this PR is that fix.
  • Two mechanisms:
    1. Bun's default 5s per-test timeout pre-empted tests whose real retry windows + server round-trips exceed 5s under shared-runner CPU contention (this test timed out after 5000ms in the fix(codex): restore deferred tool discovery for non-Cursor routed rows #1596 runs and the main promotion run; a Linux shard hit the same class at 5003ms). The macOS lane and the shard batch script now run bun test --timeout 20000 — assertions unchanged, job-level timeouts stay the backstop.
    2. Hardcoded 1-2s in-test watchdogs (server-auth WS terminal ×3, provider-option fixture WS, relay cleanup, drain-server WS/open, virtual-models WS) rejected before the server could answer under load. New tests/helpers/ci-watchdog.ts watchdogMs() gives short watchdogs a 10s floor when CI=true; local behavior is byte-identical. Watchdogs exist to bound hung tests, not to assert latency.
  • No production (src/) change; no behavior change for local runs.

Verification

  • Focused: all five touched test files pass locally — 149 pass / 0 fail (server-auth, openai-provider-option-e2e, relay-eager, openai-api-virtual-models, native-profile-drain-server).
  • CI=true activation proven: watchdogMs(1000) → 10000 under CI=true, 1000 locally; CI=true bun test tests/relay-eager.test.ts green.
  • bun x tsc --noEmit clean; bash -n on the edited batch script.
  • Full suite on Linux (ssh lidge) at head 053a034: 11,483 pass / 8 skip / 0 fail (54,795 expect() calls).

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed (inline comments carry the rationale at the change sites).
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults (CI/test-only; no auth/token surface).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved continuous integration reliability by allowing additional time for WebSocket, cleanup, and streaming operations.
    • Added per-test timeout protection to prevent stalled test runs from blocking validation.
    • Preserved existing timeout behavior during local development.
  • Tests

    • Updated automated test safeguards and CI checks for more consistent results across supported environments.
    • Improved handling of intermittent runtime failures during macOS test runs.

…runners

The unsharded macOS control lane (and occasionally a Linux shard) flaked on
timing, not logic — different tests each run, all deadline-shaped:

- Bun's default 5s per-test timeout pre-empting tests whose real retry
  windows + server round-trips exceed 5s under runner contention
  ('this test timed out after 5000ms' in PR #1596 runs and the main
  promotion run; Linux shard hit the same class at 5003ms)
- hardcoded 1-2s in-test websocket/cleanup watchdogs rejecting before the
  server answers under load (server-auth WS terminal 1s x3,
  provider-option fixture WS 2s, relay cleanup 2s, ...)

Fixes:
- tests/helpers/ci-watchdog.ts: watchdogMs() gives short in-test watchdogs a
  10s floor when CI=true; local behavior unchanged (watchdogs bound hung
  tests, they do not assert latency)
- ci.yml macOS lane + scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh: bun test gets
  --timeout 20000 so CI load cannot pre-empt a test's own internal deadline
  handling (assertions unchanged; the 30m job timeout stays the backstop)

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds 60-second Bun per-test timeouts and a CI-aware watchdogMs helper. Selected WebSocket tests use watchdog-adjusted durations in CI. Existing retry behavior remains unchanged.

Changes

CI timeout stabilization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Adaptive WebSocket watchdog timers
tests/helpers/ci-watchdog.ts, tests/native-profile-drain-server.test.ts, tests/openai-api-virtual-models.test.ts, tests/openai-provider-option-e2e.test.ts, tests/relay-eager.test.ts, tests/bridge-lifecycle.test.ts, tests/server-auth.test.ts
watchdogMs applies a 30-second minimum when CI=true. Selected WebSocket timers now use this helper instead of fixed durations.
Bun per-test timeout enforcement
.github/workflows/ci.yml, scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh, tests/ci-workflows.test.ts
macOS isolated tests and Bun test batches now use --timeout 60000. Workflow assertions target the updated command. Existing retry behavior remains unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 12c4f

The PR broadens CI test timeouts to reduce timing-related failures, while a helper comment and workflow note still describe timeout behavior inaccurately. The change is mergeable with owner awareness and follow-up to correct those bounded documentation issues.

P1 Badge Update the pinned macOS command assertion

Adding --timeout 20000 between --isolate and tests breaks the existing workflow contract test: tests/ci-workflows.test.ts:176 still requires the macOS step to contain bun test --isolate tests, and line 186 uses the same substring to locate the step. Consequently the Linux shard containing that test fails unconditionally, and the subsequent crash-retry assertions inspect an empty command. Update the assertions or preserve the command substring while adding the timeout.

Update the comment to match the Linux batch timeout.

scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh, Line 109 now invokes bun test --isolate --timeout 20000 for Linux shard batches. The current comment says that Linux shards use Bun's default timeout. State that Linux shard batches also use 20 seconds. State separately whether direct local bun test runs keep the default.

…ontract

ci-workflows.test.ts pins the exact unsharded invocation; updating the pin
keeps the timeout part of the contract so it cannot be silently dropped.
… 60s

The 10s floor was still inside the observed runner stall envelope — the
raised WS-terminal watchdog fired at 10.16s on the macOS lane, and the 5s
sequential/tier/sideband watchdogs hit next. Watchdog floor 30s + Bun
--timeout 60000 move together so neither pre-empts the other; local runs
unchanged. Contract test pin follows the new lane command.

* hung test, not to assert latency. Local behaviour is unchanged. Bun's own
* per-test timeout (`--timeout`, 60 s on CI) would pre-empt a 30 s watchdog,
* so the lane timeout and this floor move together.

Bun test --timeout per-test timeout documentation

💡 Result:

In Bun, you can manage test timeouts at either the global level (via the command line) or the individual test level (within your code). The default timeout for all tests is 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds) [1][2][3]. Global Timeout To set a timeout globally for all tests in a run, use the --timeout flag followed by the time in milliseconds [1][2][4]. bun test --timeout 10000 # Sets a 10-second timeout for all tests Per-Test Timeout To override the default timeout for a specific test, you can pass the timeout value (in milliseconds) as the third argument to the test function [2][3]. import { test, expect } from "bun:test"; // This test will fail if it takes longer than 1 second test("my test", => { expect(1 + 1).toBe(2); }, 1000); Alternatively, you can provide an object as the third argument containing the timeout option [5]: test("my test", => { expect(1 + 1).toBe(2); }, { timeout: 1000 }); Disabling Timeout To disable the timeout for a specific test, set the timeout value to 0 or Infinity [2]. test("infinite test", async => { await someVeryLongOperation; }, 0);

Correct the timeout-ordering explanation in tests/helpers/ci-watchdog.ts:11-13.

--timeout 60000 exceeds the 30,000 ms CI watchdog floor. The watchdog fires first, and Bun’s timeout is the outer backstop. The previous 20,000 ms timeout would have fired first.
