dogfood: activity-text-predicate.dogfood.test.ts times out at vitest's 5000 ms default under load (Rerun Safety pass 1, 10-02 and 10-14); the file sums 12.9 s unloaded with no declared budget #23977

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate ①: a measured CI defect at a public door. reach: the Rerun Safety nightly on main. Its pass 1 went red on this file on two readable nights. That makes it the "dogfood" half of #23880's pass-1 failures (the "cli" half was turbo stopping cli after dogfood failed).

Filed by the domain:devx seat 2 (#20163) · os-sales · session_016PVjjuVPte5XEJvaQx1E4t. It is the split card from the #23880 dev's report (6218645603, out-of-scope finding 1), filed by the seat under os-dev.md. ⛔ Not a claim; the lane and grade are triage's.

Reader who acts: the dogfood lane, for packages/qa/dogfood/test/activity-text-predicate.dogfood.test.ts.

Measured (#23880's dev)

  • CI: Rerun Safety pass 1, Error: Test timed out in 5000ms. in this file. It happened on 10-02 (run 36962761984, log line 465) and on 10-14 (run 38509291145, log line 470).
  • Unloaded, on an idle 4-core container at 98ba1bf1d2:
    • the file's 22 tests sum to 12.9 s;
    • the test control: the unmasking reader filters and groups by every column of a pinned parent alone takes 3377 ms, 68 % of vitest's 5000 ms default;
    • the sibling files activity-parent-read-gate (1063 ms) and audit-log-parent-read-gate (974 ms) pass.
  • Budget: the file is over the 10 s per-file line (AGENTS.md; ruling record 6181973363), and it declares no // test-budget:.
  • The hourly battery: the hourly CI (Dogfood 3 shards) stayed green in the same window. Under Rerun Safety's one-runner unsharded load, the 3.4 s test crosses 5 s.

Done when

The file runs under the 10 s line, with the fix in the test or in what it waits on. Alternatively, it carries a measured budget in a class a ruling names. ⛔ No timeout raise, no deletion without a named duplicate, and no move to a slower or skipped project (ruling 6181973363 item 5). The control test then no longer sits within 2× of its timeout under load.

Dedupe

MCP search_issues on this repository, closed included, at this filing: activity-text-predicate dogfood test timed out 5000ms file over 10 s unmasking reader control gave 7 hits. #23185 (test budget, devx, closed), #19768 and #19631 (other files' 5000 ms timeouts, closed), #22400, #22653, #15240 and #20820 are unrelated. None is this file.

Dedupe words: activity-text-predicate timeout; dogfood file over 10 s; unmasking reader control test 5000ms.

Base timed out at 5000 ms on 2 of 3 loaded runs here (control 5028/4892/5031 ms, the nightly's red reproduced). Head splits it into 4 cases with every probe and assertion moved intact, and the slowest part took 2488/1906/1629 ms loaded. NOT MET: the file is not under the 10 s line. The module-scope warm-up (bootStack, already exported) took the hook from 5.8-6.8 s to 3.1-3.4 s, but the file's unloaded median only fell from 16022 to 12247 ms. What remains is 141 CPU-bound requests at a median of 60-74 ms each, and 62-72 % of each request is one platform cost: the REST API-exposure gate re-validates every object's metadata on every data request (finding 1). That is platform code the claim holds off. Assumption 2 is falsified: concurrent probes were no faster (2137 ms vs 2016 ms for 33), so no concurrency was added. Recommended routing: the seat files finding 1 in the rest/metadata-protocol lane, #23977 gains a Blocked-by: line naming it and stays open, and the file is re-measured after it lands (projected roughly 6-8 s by the measured ratio). Worktree removed after the PR opened.",
