Goal

Maintain the committed E2E timing baseline (#203) from representative CI / full-gate measurements without making machine-local .tests/e2e-timings.json authoritative, and without indefinite hand-edits drifting the file.

What changes

  • Pure helpers in tests/e2e/sharding.py:
    • combine_measurement_timings / aggregate_timing_baseline — median-merge exact CI exports into reviewable prefix.* JSON
    • assess_measurement_coverage — compare exports to current E2E discovery
    • slowest_report_timings — observed/local exact IDs only (baseline never enters the slowest report)
    • format_slowest also strips accidental * prefix keys
    • class_outlier_ratio / min_class_samples validated at entry (finite >= 1.0 / >= 1) before any grouping
  • Additive CLI: scripts/e2e update-timing-baseline --from PATH [--write] → tests/e2e/update_timing_baseline.py
    • Requires explicit --from measurement export(s); does not default to .tests/e2e-timings.json
    • Committed --write / committed --output fails closed unless the export covers every discovered E2E module and exact test ID
    • --output paths are always resolved before the committed-path comparison
    • Partial / experimental generation via --allow-partial or alternate --output
  • Docs: regenerate path in docs/e2e-performance.md and tests/e2e/AGENTS.md
  • Unit coverage for merge/override, slowest exclusion, aggregation, option validation, partial-overwrite refusal, absolute --output resolve, and CLI dry-run/write

Tip-clear

  • Codex P2: reject non-finite --class-outlier-ratio (nan/inf) via math.isfinite + lower bound (b5fac0f)
  • CodeRabbit: validate options before grouping / empty-input path; drop duplicate later checks (2c959f3)
  • Fooftilly P2: refuse committed baseline overwrite from partial timing exports (2d6fe79)
  • CodeRabbit: resolve absolute --output before committed-path coverage comparison (9c4591e)

Invariants preserved

  • Machine-local exact timings still override committed coarse baseline at schedule time
  • Baseline is never copied into .tests/e2e-timings.json
  • Baseline never appears in the human “slowest tests” report
  • No collision with sharding (--shard) or inventory entrypoints — only an additive update-timing-baseline command

Non-goals

  • Does not change the committed timing-baseline.json values in this PR (no CI measurement artifact attached); the next refresh is update-timing-baseline --from <ci-export> --write
  • Does not add CI matrix sharding or inventory/metrics tooling

Validation

python3 -m unittest tests.test_e2e_sharding -q

(63 tests OK.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a workflow to preview or update E2E timing baselines from timing exports. Baselines use median measurements, with optional class-level estimates for slower groups.
    • Fresh checkouts use committed estimates for E2E test scheduling; locally recorded exact timings take precedence.
  • Improvements
    • Slowest-test reports exclude baseline estimates, while targeted runs retain previously recorded local timings.
    • Committed baseline updates require coverage of all current E2E modules and discovered tests unless partial coverage is explicitly allowed.
    • Added guidance for using and refreshing timing baselines.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds tools to generate E2E timing baselines from timing exports. It adds coverage checks for committed writes and updates timing selection and filtering for slow-test reports.

Changes

E2E Timing Baseline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Aggregate measurements and select report timings
tests/e2e/sharding.py, tests/e2e/run.py, tests/e2e/AGENTS.md, tests/test_e2e_sharding.py
The code combines valid exact measurements by median, checks coverage, and generates module and qualifying class-prefix weights. Targeted reports combine local timings with current observations. Formatted reports exclude baseline prefixes.
Generate and write timing baselines
tests/e2e/update_timing_baseline.py, scripts/e2e, docs/e2e-performance.md, tests/test_e2e_sharding.py
The command prints baseline JSON or writes it to a selected path. Committed writes require full coverage unless --allow-partial is set. CLI tests cover dry runs, coverage checks, and output behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Suggested reviewers: cursoragent

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bd13c

Successful CI runs do not provide downloadable timing exports for the new baseline-refresh command. Publish those artifacts to make the documented workflow usable; the limitation is bounded to baseline maintenance.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to bd13c

The normal refresh path checks that measurements cover the discovered suite before replacing the baseline. Simultaneous refreshes could interfere with that replacement, but no new privilege or service boundary is evident.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Concurrent committed-baseline refreshes share a temporary filename, so one replacement can occur while another invocation still writes that file. This can expose incomplete baseline state despite the atomic-replacement intent.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed runner path is bounded to slow-test reporting; the new write path concerns a repository timing baseline. The reviewed paths do not show a new network, tenant, credential, or privileged-service boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The operator chooses the measurement files. Source provenance is not verified: a machine-local source receives a warning rather than rejection, while ordinary committed writes enforce discovery and measured-ID coverage.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Unreadable or invalid timing JSON loads as empty history, and save failures are reported. Those controls do not provide coordination between simultaneous writers.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 27.50% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 40 functions across 4 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Prks Engineering Invariants

Explanation

The new CLI can violate the E2E rule that the baseline is never copied into .tests/ (tests/e2e/AGENTS.md:214-216). update_timing_baseline.py accepts any --output, resolves it, and passes the result to save_timings() without rejecting the resolved machine-local path. Therefore --output .tests/e2e-timings.json overwrites local exact history with generated prefix.* baseline data.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Automate refreshes in CI
  • ➕ Removes manual artifact selection and command execution
  • ➕ Provides consistent measurement provenance and refresh cadence
  • ➖ Requires artifact retention and representative-run selection policies
  • ➖ Could create noisy or unstable automated baseline diffs
2. Commit exact per-test timings
  • ➕ Provides the most granular first-run scheduling estimates
  • ➕ Avoids aggregation thresholds and outlier detection
  • ➖ Produces large, frequently changing diffs
  • ➖ Retains stale IDs after test renames
  • ➖ Blurs committed bootstrap data with machine-local measurement history

Recommendation: Keep the explicit CLI and coarse prefix aggregation introduced here. It preserves reviewable diffs and clear separation between committed hints and local measurements; CI automation can be added later once artifact provenance and refresh cadence are established.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Publish timing artifacts from successful gate runs.

The documented refresh workflow requires a complete representative CI export. .github/workflows/e2e-gate.yml uploads .tests/ only when failure() is true. A failed shard run does not reliably provide the complete exact-ID set required by --write, and successful gate runs provide no artifact for this workflow. Make the upload unconditional so successful and failed runs can supply timing history.
