# Plan: fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627
3 phases, 4 tasks, 3-5 atomic commits. Per-task TDD red-first. The "test" is the existing failing test in `tests/test_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim.py`; the "fix" is the production code in `src/app_controller.py` and the mock in `tests/mock_concurrent_mma.py`.
## Phase 0: Instrument + diagnose (Tier 2, 1 commit)
**Focus:** Per workflow.md "The Deduction Loop (kill it)", you are allowed to run a failing test at most 2 times in a single investigation. After 2 failures, STOP running the test. Read the code, predict the failure mode, and instrument ALL the relevant state in one pass. So Phase 0 is the instrumentation pass.
- [ ] **Task 0.1** [Tier 2]: Add stderr diagnostics to `src/app_controller.py:_start_track_logic_result`
- WHERE: `src/app_controller.py:4750-4840` (the `_start_track_logic_result` function)
- WHAT: Add 3 stderr write/flush calls:
1. BEFORE `conductor_tech_lead.generate_tickets(goal, skeletons)` — log title, goal
2. AFTER `generate_tickets` returns — log length of `raw_tickets`
3. INSIDE the `except` block at line 4831 — log full traceback via `import traceback; traceback.print_exc()`
- HOW: `manual-slop_edit_file` surgical edit (3-10 lines per edit)
- SAFETY: `uv run -m pytest tests/test_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim.py -v` still parses (py_check_syntax exits 0)
- INSTRUMENTATION LIFETIME: This commit is INTERIM. The instrumentation must be removed in Phase 2 once the root cause is identified. (Per AGENTS.md "No Diagnostic Noise in Production".)
- [ ] **COMMIT 0.1:** `chore(diag): add stderr instrumentation to _start_track_logic_result` (Tier 2)
- [ ] **GIT NOTE:** "Temporary instrumentation to diagnose test_mma_concurrent_tracks_execution failure. Will be removed in the next commit after root cause is identified."
- [ ] **Task 0.2** [Tier 2]: Run the test in isolation with the instrumentation
- HOW: `uv run -m pytest tests/test_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim.py::test_mma_concurrent_tracks_execution -v -s > tests/artifacts/tier2_state/fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627/test_run_0.log 2>&1`
- Per workflow.md: redirect to log file (NEVER filter output, NEVER use `head`/`tail`)
- Read the log file: `manual-slop_read_file tests/artifacts/tier2_state/fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627/test_run_0.log`
- Identify the failure mode for the 2nd track
- **DO NOT** run the test more than 2 times in total (workflow.md "Deduction Loop")
## Phase 1: Fix the root cause (Tier 3, 1-2 commits)
**Focus:** Based on Phase 0 diagnosis, fix the actual root cause.
- [ ] **Task 1.1** [Tier 3]: Fix the root cause in `src/app_controller.py` OR `tests/mock_concurrent_mma.py`
- **If Phase 0 diagnosis is "mock routing broken for 2nd call"** (cause A in spec):
- WHERE: `tests/mock_concurrent_mma.py` (the routing logic at lines 64-90)
- WHAT: The `gemini_cli_adapter` reuses the session_id returned by the previous call. So track-b's call comes in with `--resume mock-sprint-A` (the session_id returned by the previous track's sprint call). The mock must handle this case.
- HOW: Add a routing case for `if session_id == "mock-sprint-A" and call_n == N: _emit_sprint_ticket("B")` — but ALSO handle the case where the gemini_cli_adapter passes the latest session_id for both the track-b sprint call and the track-b worker call.
- The cleanest fix: don't rely on session_id alone. After epic + sprint-A, the next call is ALWAYS track-b sprint (since we only have 2 tracks). Add a per-call counter that maps to (call_n // 2) % 2 for the track index.
- **If Phase 0 diagnosis is "production bug" (cause B/C/D in spec):**
- WHERE: `src/app_controller.py:_start_track_logic_result` (line 4750-4840)
- WHAT: Fix the specific bug (disk I/O, flat dict missing field, silent exception)
- HOW: Surgical `manual-slop_edit_file` fix
- SAFETY: `uv run -m pytest tests/test_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim.py -v` shows PASS
- [ ] **COMMIT 1.1:** `fix(mma_concurrent): fix 2nd track _start_track_logic not firing` (Tier 3)
- Commit message body: explain which root cause was identified and what was changed.
- [ ] **GIT NOTE:** "Fixes test_mma_concurrent_tracks_execution by <specific fix>."
- [ ] **Task 1.2** [Tier 2]: Run the test in isolation to verify the fix
- HOW: `uv run -m pytest tests/test_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim.py::test_mma_concurrent_tracks_execution -v > tests/artifacts/tier2_state/fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627/test_run_1.log 2>&1`
- Read the log file and verify PASS
- If still failing, **STOP and report to the user** (per workflow.md "Surrender" anti-pattern is OK only after the 5-step checklist)
- [ ] **Task 1.3** [Tier 2]: Run the targeted tier-3 batched test suite to verify no regressions
- HOW: `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py --tier tier-3-live_gui > tests/artifacts/tier2_state/fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627/test_run_tier3.log 2>&1`
- Verify: 0 failures in tier-3
- Per workflow.md "Isolated-Pass Verification Fallacy" — the only verification that matters is the batched run, not the isolated run
## Phase 2: Remove instrumentation + write report (Tier 2, 1-2 commits)
**Focus:** Clean up the temporary instrumentation and write the end-of-track report.
- [ ] **Task 2.1** [Tier 2]: Remove the stderr instrumentation from `src/app_controller.py:_start_track_logic_result`
- WHERE: `src/app_controller.py:4750-4840` (where the 3 stderr lines were added in Phase 0)
- WHAT: Remove the 3 stderr write/flush calls
- HOW: `manual-slop_edit_file` surgical edit (3 sites)
- SAFETY: `git grep "_start_track_logic_result.*stderr" src/app_controller.py` returns 0 hits
- [ ] **COMMIT 2.1:** `chore(cleanup): remove diagnostic instrumentation from _start_track_logic_result` (Tier 2)
- [ ] **GIT NOTE:** "Removes the temporary stderr instrumentation added in 0.1. The bug fix is in 1.1; this is cleanup."
- [ ] **Task 2.2** [Tier 2]: Update `docs/reports/OUTSTANDING_MMA_TEST_FAILURES_20260627.md` to RESOLVED
- WHERE: `docs/reports/OUTSTANDING_MMA_TEST_FAILURES_20260627.md` (the "4. UNRESOLVED" section)
- WHAT: Replace "⚠️ UNRESOLVED" with "✅ RESOLVED" and add a link to the fixing commit
- HOW: `manual-slop_edit_file` surgical edit
- [ ] **COMMIT 2.2:** `docs(report): mark OUTSTANDING_MMA_TEST_FAILURES_20260627.md as RESOLVED` (Tier 2)
- [ ] **GIT NOTE:** "Per FR8 of the track spec. The MMA concurrent tracks test is now passing in the batched test suite."
- [ ] **Task 2.3** [Tier 2]: Write `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627.md`
- WHERE: `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627.md` (new file)
- WHAT: Follow the precedent of `TRACK_COMPLETION_post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627.md`:
- Executive summary
- 3 root causes already fixed in 635ca552
- The 1 root cause fixed in this track
- Files changed
- Verification results
- Suggested next steps
- HOW: `Write` tool to create the file
- [ ] **COMMIT 2.3:** `docs(reports): TRACK_COMPLETION_fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627` (Tier 2)
- [ ] **GIT NOTE:** "End-of-track report. Track is complete; tier-3 of post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627 is now PASS."
- [ ] **Task 2.4** [Tier 2]: Update `conductor/tracks/fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627/state.toml` to status = "completed"
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks/fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627/state.toml`
- WHAT: Set `[meta].status = "completed"`, `[meta].current_phase = "complete"`, fill in task commit SHAs
- HOW: `Write` tool
- [ ] **COMMIT 2.4:** `conductor(state): fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627 SHIPPED` (Tier 2)
- [ ] **GIT NOTE:** "Track SHIPPED. All 7 VCs pass. Tier-3 of the parent track is now PASS."

```
## Notes for Tier 3 worker (Phase 1)
- The "test" is `tests/test_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim.py::test_mma_concurrent_tracks_execution`. It is the spec.
- The fix is in `src/app_controller.py:_start_track_logic_result` OR `tests/mock_concurrent_mma.py`. Choose based on Phase 0 diagnosis.
- Use `manual-slop_edit_file` for surgical edits (3-10 lines per edit).
- 1-space indentation. CRLF line endings. No comments.
- Per `conductor/code_styleguides/python.md` §17: no `dict[str, Any]`, no `Any`, no `Optional[T]`, no `hasattr()` for entity dispatch.
- If the fix requires changing the mock's response shape, do NOT change the test — the test exercises the production pipeline.
## Notes for Tier 2 reviewer (Phases 0 and 2)
- Phase 0 is the instrumentation pass. The diagnostics are INTERIM and must be removed in Phase 2.
- Phase 1 is the fix. Read the test log from Phase 0 BEFORE choosing the fix; don't guess.
- Phase 2 is cleanup + report.
- Per `AGENTS.md` HARD BAN: no `git restore`, no `git checkout`, no `git reset`, no `git stash`.
- Per `AGENTS.md` "No Diagnostic Noise in Production": the instrumentation in Phase 0 must be removed in Phase 2.
- Per `conductor/workflow.md` "Pre-commit verification gate": after every commit, run `git diff --cached --stat` + `git show HEAD --stat` + `uv run python scripts/audit_tier2_leaks.py --strict`.

# Track Specification: fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627
## Overview
Single-test fix track. The `tier-3-live_gui::test_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim::test_mma_concurrent_tracks_execution` test was failing on the `tier2/post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627` branch. Per the user directive ("those issues must get resolved we are not sweeping them under the rug"), this track fixes the test to pass in the batched test suite, ships it, and the parent branch is then ready for review.
The test exercises the full concurrent-MMA flow: plan an epic (returns 2 proposed tracks), accept both, start both concurrently, verify both ticket-A and ticket-B workers appear, verify both tracks complete. The failure was at "accept-tracks" — after `btn_mma_accept_tracks`, only 1 of the 2 proposed tracks was created in the project.
This track is the **TDD fix for one specific test**. It is NOT a sweep or a refactor; it is a focused investigation + fix + verification.

| 1 test mock fix in 635ca552 | `--resume` arg parsing + call counter | commit 635ca552 |
## The 4 Stacked Regressions (Root Cause Analysis)
### 1. `flat_config()` return type change (PRODUCTION BUG — FIXED in 635ca552)
`flat_config()` in `src/project.py` was changed by `cruft_elimination_20260627` (commit 0d2a9b5e) from `dict[str, Any]` to a **frozen `@dataclass ProjectContext`**. The change was semantic, not just cosmetic. But 3 sites in `src/app_controller.py` mutated the returned object:
- `_do_generate` (line 4027): `flat["files"] = ...; flat["files"]["paths"] = ...`
- `_cb_plan_epic` (line 4604): `flat.setdefault("files", {})["paths"] = ...`
- `_start_track_logic_result` (line 4793): `flat.setdefault("files", {})["paths"] = ...`
Each raised `TypeError: 'ProjectContext' object does not support item assignment`.
**Fix in 635ca552:** Call `flat.to_dict()` to get a mutable dict.
### 2. `topological_sort()` return type change (PRODUCTION BUG — FIXED in 635ca552)
`conductor_tech_lead.topological_sort()` in `src/mma_conductor.py` was changed (also in commit 0d2a9b5e) from `list[str]` to `list[Ticket]`. The `_start_track_logic_result` consumer used dict-style access (`t_data["id"]`, `t_data.get("description")`).
**Fix in 635ca552:** Use Ticket attribute access (`t_data.id`, `t_data.description`, etc.).
### 3. `gemini_cli_adapter` `--resume` session reuse (MOCK BUG — FIXED in 635ca552)
The gemini_cli_adapter now reuses the session_id from the epic call (`mock-epic`) for all subsequent Tier 2/3 calls via `--resume mock-epic`. The original mock `tests/mock_concurrent_mma.py` was written when each LLM call was stateless; it routed on prompt substrings ("PATH: Epic Initialization", "generate the implementation tickets", "You are assigned to Ticket"). In resume mode the prompt is empty (the session is the context), so the routing fell to the default case.
**Fix in 635ca552:** Parse `--resume` from `sys.argv` and use a persistent file-based call counter to route to per-track responses.
### 4. ⚠️ UNRESOLVED — 2nd track's `_start_track_logic` never fires
After fixes 1-3, the test still fails: only 1 sprint-ticket mock call is observed (for track-a); the 2nd call for track-b never happens. The 30-second test poll times out.
**Hypothesized root cause:** `_start_track_logic` for track-a either hangs OR fails silently. The for loop in `_cb_accept_tracks._bg_task` continues to track-b which also calls `_start_track_logic` and also fails/hangs. The test poll times out before either track completes.
**Possible causes to investigate:**
- `conductor_tech_lead.generate_tickets(goal, skeletons)` returns `[]` (no tickets) for track-a when the adapter can't reuse the session properly → no track created, no error
- `project_manager.save_track_state(track_id, state, ...)` blocks on disk I/O
- The IO pool is saturated (the bg_task is `submit_io(_bg_task)` and each `_start_track_logic` is synchronous on its own thread)
- `aggregate.run(flat)` hangs (the new `flat.to_dict()` conversion may be missing a field that `aggregate.run` requires)
- The exception in `except (OSError, IOError, ValueError, TypeError, KeyError, AttributeError, RuntimeError) as e:` at line 4831 catches an exception and returns `Result(data=None, errors=[err])` — but the caller `_start_track_logic` (line 4744) prints `ERROR in _start_track_logic: {err.message}` and continues to the next track in the loop, which also fails. The test poll times out because no track is appended to `self.tracks`.
## Goals
| ID | Goal | Acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| G1 | Diagnose why only 1 of 2 tracks is created in `_cb_accept_tracks._bg_task` | stderr diagnostics + log file show the actual failure mode for each track |
| G2 | Fix the production OR test-mock bug that causes the 2nd track to fail | Test passes in isolation AND in the full batched suite |
| G3 | Update `docs/reports/OUTSTANDING_MMA_TEST_FAILURES_20260627.md` to reflect the fix | Report shows RESOLVED status |
| G4 | Tier 3 of `tier2/post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627` goes from FAIL to PASS | `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py --tier tier-3-live_gui` shows 0 failures |
| G5 | All 11 batched test tiers pass | `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py` shows 11/11 PASS (or pre-existing RAG flake) |
## Non-Goals
- Refactoring the MMA concurrent execution engine (`src/multi_agent_conductor.py`)
- Refactoring `_cb_accept_tracks` or `_start_track_logic` beyond the minimum fix
- Refactoring `tests/mock_concurrent_mma.py` beyond the minimum fix
- Adding new tests for MMA concurrent execution
- Fixing any other tier failures (RAG flake is pre-existing and out of scope)
- Updating `conductor/tracks/post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627/spec.md` (the parent track is SHIPPED; this is a follow-up)
## Functional Requirements
### FR1: Instrument `_start_track_logic_result` with stderr diagnostics (Tier 3)
Add 3 `sys.stderr.write` + `sys.stderr.flush` calls:
1. BEFORE `conductor_tech_lead.generate_tickets(goal, skeletons)` — log title, goal
2. AFTER `generate_tickets` returns — log length of `raw_tickets`
3. INSIDE the `except` block at line 4831 — log full traceback via `import traceback; traceback.print_exc()`
**WHY:** Per workflow.md "The Deduction Loop (kill it)", you are allowed to run a failing test at most 2 times in a single investigation. After 2 failures, STOP running the test. Read the code, predict the failure mode, and instrument ALL the relevant state in one pass.
### FR2: Run the test in isolation (Tier 2)
`uv run -m pytest tests/test_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim.py::test_mma_concurrent_tracks_execution -v -s` and capture:
- stderr output from `_start_track_logic_result` instrumentation
- the mock call counter file at `artifacts/.mock_concurrent_mma_call_count`
- the sloppy.py stderr (via the test's log capture)
**Per workflow.md "Pre-commit verification gate"**, redirect to log file: `... > tests/artifacts/tier2_state/fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627/test_run.log 2>&1`
### FR3: Diagnose the failure mode (Tier 2)
Based on FR2 output, identify ONE of:
- A. `generate_tickets` returns `[]` (mock routing broken for 2nd call)
- B. `project_manager.save_track_state` raises (disk I/O issue)
- C. `aggregate.run(flat)` raises (flat dict missing field)
- D. The `except` block catches a `RuntimeError` (or other) and the test poll times out
### FR4: Fix the root cause (Tier 3)
**Per the user directive: "we should adjust the tests instead"** — but the test exercises the production code path. The test is the spec; the production must be correct. Fix in this priority order:
1. **If cause A** (mock routing): fix `tests/mock_concurrent_mma.py` to handle the `--resume mock-sprint-A` session reuse (the adapter reuses the session_id returned by the previous call, so track-b's call is `--resume mock-sprint-A` not `--resume mock-epic`).
2. **If cause B/C/D** (production bug): fix `src/app_controller.py:_start_track_logic_result` to handle the error gracefully, log the error to the test log, and continue to the next track (instead of silently aborting the loop).
### FR5: Verify the test passes in isolation (Tier 2)
`uv run -m pytest tests/test_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim.py::test_mma_concurrent_tracks_execution -v`
Must show PASS.
### FR6: Verify the test passes in the full batched suite (Tier 2)
**Per workflow.md "Isolated-Pass Verification Fallacy"** — the only verification that matters for `live_gui` tests is the batch run. The test must pass with the other tier-3 tests in the suite.
`uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py --tier tier-3-live_gui`
Must show 0 failures in tier-3.
### FR7: Verify all 11 tiers pass (Tier 2)
`uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py`
**Per user directive ("stop running the batch yourself, ask me")** — ASK the user before running the full 11-tier batch. Show them the targeted tier-3 result first.
Expected: 11/11 PASS (or 10/11 if the RAG flake is the only remaining failure).
### FR8: Update `OUTSTANDING_MMA_TEST_FAILURES_20260627.md` (Tier 2)
Mark the section "4. UNRESOLVED — Second track's `_start_track_logic` never fires" as RESOLVED with a link to the fixing commit.
### FR9: Write `TRACK_COMPLETION_fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627.md` (Tier 2)
Follow the precedent of `TRACK_COMPLETION_post_module_taxonomy_de_cruft_20260627.md`:
- Executive summary
- 3 root causes fixed (the 3 already in 635ca552)
- The 1 root cause fixed in this track
- Files changed
- Verification results
- Suggested next steps
## Non-Functional Requirements
- NFR1: 1-space indentation
- NFR2: CRLF line endings on Windows
- NFR3: No comments in source code
- NFR4: Per-task atomic commits with git notes
- NFR5: No new pip dependencies
- NFR6: Result[T] returns for fallible fns
- NFR7: No `git restore` / `git checkout` / `git reset` / `git stash` (per AGENTS.md HARD BAN)
- NFR8: Stderr diagnostics must be removed before the final commit (no diagnostic noise in production per workflow.md)
## Architecture Reference
- `src/app_controller.py:_cb_accept_tracks._bg_task` (line 4635-4682) — the for loop that should create 2 tracks
- `src/app_controller.py:_start_track_logic_result` (line 4750-4840) — the per-track pipeline
- `src/multi_agent_conductor.py:ConductorEngine.run` — the engine that spawns workers
- `src/ai_client.py:gemini_cli_adapter` (or similar) — the adapter that uses `--resume` for session reuse
- `src/mma_conductor.py:topological_sort` — returns `list[Ticket]` (was `list[str]` pre-cruft)
- `src/project.py:flat_config` — returns `frozen @dataclass ProjectContext` (was `dict[str, Any]` pre-cruft)
- `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` — the Result[T] + nil-sentinel convention
- `conductor/code_styleguides/data_oriented_design.md` §8.5 — the Python Type Promotion Mandate
- `conductor/code_styleguides/python.md` §17 — the LLM Default Anti-Patterns
## Risks
| # | Risk | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | The instrumentation is incomplete and the failure mode remains hidden | low | Add diagnostics at 3 strategic points: before/after generate_tickets, in the except block |
| R2 | The fix requires changes to the production code that may regress other tests | medium | Run the full batched test suite after the fix (with user permission) |
| R3 | The mock fix requires a deeper understanding of the gemini_cli_adapter's session reuse | medium | Read `src/ai_client.py:gemini_cli_adapter` (or similar) to understand the session_id lifecycle |
| R4 | The test has a 30-second poll that may be too short for the test infrastructure (IO pool + bg_task + subprocess spawn) | low | Document the timing in the test, but don't change the test's poll time (the fix should make the test pass within the existing poll budget) |
| R5 | The instrumentation leaks into production (per AGENTS.md "No Diagnostic Noise in Production") | low | Remove the instrumentation in the same commit that fixes the bug (or in a follow-up commit) |
| R6 | The user does not give permission to run the full 11-tier batched test suite | medium | Run only the targeted tier-3 batched test (`--tier tier-3-live_gui`); ask user for the full batch separately |
## Verification Criteria (Definition of Done)
| # | Criterion | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| VC1 | The test `test_mma_concurrent_tracks_execution` passes in isolation | `uv run -m pytest tests/test_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim.py -v` shows PASS |
| VC2 | Tier 3 of the batched test suite passes (0 failures) | `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py --tier tier-3-live_gui` shows 0 failures |
| VC3 | The instrumentation is removed from `src/app_controller.py` | `git grep "_start_track_logic_result.*stderr" src/app_controller.py` returns 0 hits |
| VC4 | `OUTSTANDING_MMA_TEST_FAILURES_20260627.md` is updated to RESOLVED | grep "RESOLVED" OUTSTANDING_MMA_TEST_FAILURES_20260627.md returns hits |
| VC5 | `TRACK_COMPLETION_fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627.md` is written | `ls docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_fix_mma_concurrent_tracks_sim_20260627.md` exists |
| VC6 | All diagnostic stderr lines are removed from `src/app_controller.py` | No `[DEBUG] _start_track_logic:` lines remain in production |
| VC7 | No `git restore` / `git checkout` / `git reset` / `git stash` used | Audit the git reflog for the branch |

# Plan: fix_test_failures_20260624
3 phases, 3 tasks, 3 atomic commits. TDD: write the failing test invocation first (the existing 14 tests are the red), fix the code (green), commit.
## Phase 1: NormalizedResponse dual-signature (1 task)
Focus: Add custom `__init__` to `NormalizedResponse` that accepts both new nested `usage: UsageStats` and legacy flat kwargs. This fixes 12 of the 14 failing tests in one place.
- [x] Task 1.1: Add custom `__init__` to `NormalizedResponse` in `src/openai_schemas.py`. [1b39aae7]
- WHERE: `src/openai_schemas.py:75-80` (the `@dataclass(frozen=True) class NormalizedResponse:` block)
- WHAT:
- Change `@dataclass(frozen=True)` to `@dataclass(frozen=True, init=False)` on line 75
- Add a custom `__init__` method (after the class fields) that:
- Signature: `(self, text: str, tool_calls: tuple[ToolCall, ...] = (), usage: Optional[UsageStats] = None, raw_response: Any = None, usage_input_tokens: Optional[int] = None, usage_output_tokens: Optional[int] = None, usage_cache_read_tokens: Optional[int] = None, usage_cache_creation_tokens: Optional[int] = None) -> None`
- If `usage is None` and any legacy flat kwarg is non-None: build `UsageStats(input_tokens=usage_input_tokens or 0, output_tokens=usage_output_tokens or 0, cache_read_tokens=usage_cache_read_tokens or 0, cache_creation_tokens=usage_cache_creation_tokens or 0)`
- If `usage is None` and all legacy flat kwargs are None: build `UsageStats(0, 0)`
- Otherwise: use the provided `usage`
- Use `object.__setattr__(self, "text", text)` for all 4 field assignments (required because `frozen=True` locks `__setattr__`)
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_py_update_definition` to replace the entire class block. The new content includes the `init=False` decorator and the custom `__init__` method.
- SAFETY:
- Verify with `ast.parse(open("src/openai_schemas.py").read())` (no syntax errors)
- Run `uv run python -c "from src.openai_schemas import NormalizedResponse, UsageStats; r = NormalizedResponse(text='hi', tool_calls=(), usage_input_tokens=10, usage_output_tokens=5, raw_response=None); print(r.usage.input_tokens, r.usage.output_tokens)"`
- Run the 12 affected tests
- COMMIT: `fix(schemas): add legacy-kwarg backward compat to NormalizedResponse.__init__`
- GIT NOTE: 12 tests fixed by single backward-compat __init__; supports both new nested usage: UsageStats and legacy flat usage_input_tokens=... kwargs
- VERIFY: `uv run pytest tests/test_ai_client_cli.py tests/test_ai_client_tool_loop.py tests/test_ai_client_tool_loop_builder.py tests/test_ai_client_tool_loop_send_func.py tests/test_gemini_cli_integration.py tests/test_gemini_cli_parity_regression.py tests/test_gemini_cli_edge_cases.py -v` shows 12/12 pass
## Phase 2: Session frozen fix (1 task)
Focus: Update the test to use `dataclasses.replace()` instead of mutating the frozen `Session`.
- [x] Task 2.1: Update `test_auto_whitelist_keywords` to use `dataclasses.replace`. [24b39aee]
- WHERE: `tests/test_auto_whitelist.py:20`
- WHAT: Change `reg.data[session_id]["whitelisted"] = True` to `reg.data[session_id] = dataclasses.replace(reg.data[session_id], whitelisted=True)`
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_edit_file` with the exact old/new text. Add `import dataclasses` to the top of the file if not already imported.
- SAFETY: Verify with `uv run pytest tests/test_auto_whitelist.py -v`
- COMMIT: `test(auto-whitelist): use dataclasses.replace for frozen Session mutation`
- GIT NOTE: 1 test fixed; the old `["whitelisted"] = True` was invalid on a frozen dataclass
- VERIFY: `uv run pytest tests/test_auto_whitelist.py -v` shows 0 failures
## Phase 3: Toggle race fix (1 task)
Focus: Replace the non-deterministic toggle with a deterministic close path.
- [x] Task 3.1: Update `test_palette_starts_hidden` to use a deterministic close callback. [63e4e54e]
- WHERE: `tests/test_command_palette_sim.py:38` (the `client.push_event("custom_callback", {"callback": "_toggle_command_palette", "args": []})` call)
- WHAT:
- Check `_predefined_callbacks` in `src/api_hooks.py` for a close callback (e.g., `_close_command_palette` or similar). If found, use it.
- If no close callback exists, push `_toggle_command_palette` once, poll for state, then push again to guarantee the palette is closed.
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_edit_file` with the exact old/new text.
- SAFETY: The test must end with `show_command_palette is False` regardless of starting state. Verify with `uv run pytest tests/test_command_palette_sim.py -v` in isolation AND in the full batch (per the `Isolated-Pass Verification Fallacy` rule in `conductor/workflow.md`).
- COMMIT: `test(palette): use deterministic close instead of toggle for palette_starts_hidden test`
- GIT NOTE: 1 test fixed; toggle is non-deterministic (close-if-open, open-if-closed); new code forces close regardless of starting state
- VERIFY: `uv run pytest tests/test_command_palette_sim.py -v` AND `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py` (tier-3-live_gui)
## Phase 4: Verification (1 task)
Focus: Confirm all 10 verification criteria pass.
- [x] Task 4.1: Run all 6 VCs; write the track's end-of-track report. [885bc1be]
- WHERE: Full test suite + audit gates
- WHAT:
- Run VC1-VC6 (the 6 verification criteria from the spec)
- Write `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_fix_test_failures_20260624.md` with the verification results
- Update this track's `state.toml` to `status = "completed"`, `current_phase = "complete"`, all 4 phases `completed`
- Update `conductor/tracks.md` to add a row for this track
- HOW: Run each VC command, capture output, write the report.
- SAFETY: The 2 pre-existing-violation audit gates (NG1, NG2 from the polish track) are still out of scope. Do not regress them.
- COMMIT: 3 commits: `conductor(state): fix_test_failures_20260624 SHIPPED`, `docs(reports): TRACK_COMPLETION for fix_test_failures_20260624`, `conductor(tracks): add fix_test_failures_20260624 row`
- GIT NOTE: 1 per commit per workflow.md
- VERIFY: All 6 VCs pass; the 14 previously-failing tests are now green; no new failures introduced
## Commit Log (Expected)
1. `fix(schemas): add legacy-kwarg backward compat to NormalizedResponse.__init__` (Task 1.1)
2. `test(auto-whitelist): use dataclasses.replace for frozen Session mutation` (Task 2.1)
3. `test(palette): use deterministic close instead of toggle for palette_starts_hidden test` (Task 3.1)

# Track Specification: fix_test_failures_20260624
## Overview
3 surgical fixes to make the full test suite green after the polish merge. The 14 failing tests cluster into 3 root causes; each is a single-file change.
## Current State Audit (commit 4c2bb3c9, master)
3 tier failures from `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py`:
### Root cause 1: NormalizedResponse API mismatch (12 tests)
`src/openai_schemas.py:75-80` defines `NormalizedResponse` with 4 fields: `text`, `tool_calls`, `usage: UsageStats`, `raw_response`. The `@dataclass` auto-generates `__init__` requiring `usage: UsageStats`.
But 12 tests + 1 production site at `src/ai_client.py:908` call it with the OLD flat-kwarg API:
```python
NormalizedResponse(
text=..., tool_calls=...,
usage_input_tokens=10, usage_output_tokens=5,
usage_cache_read_tokens=0, usage_cache_creation_tokens=0,
raw_response=None,
)
```
**Failing tests:**
- `tests/test_ai_client_cli.py::test_ai_client_send_gemini_cli`
- `tests/test_ai_client_tool_loop.py` (5 tests)
- `tests/test_ai_client_tool_loop_builder.py::test_run_with_tool_loop_calls_request_builder_each_round`
- `tests/test_ai_client_tool_loop_send_func.py` (2 tests)
- `tests/test_gemini_cli_integration.py::test_gemini_cli_full_integration`
- `tests/test_gemini_cli_parity_regression.py::test_send_invokes_adapter_send`
- `tests/test_gemini_cli_edge_cases.py::test_gemini_cli_loop_termination`
**Fix:** add a custom `__init__` to `NormalizedResponse` (using `@dataclass(frozen=True, init=False)`) that accepts BOTH signatures. The legacy flat kwargs are auto-converted to a `UsageStats` instance.
### Root cause 2: Session dataclass frozen (1 test)
`tests/test_auto_whitelist.py:20` does `reg.data[session_id]["whitelisted"] = True`. `Session` is `@dataclass(frozen=True)` so attribute assignment fails.
**Failing test:** `tests/test_auto_whitelist.py::test_auto_whitelist_keywords`
**Fix:** update the test to use `dataclasses.replace(reg.data[session_id], whitelisted=True)` (or equivalent setter on the registry).
### Root cause 3: Toggle race (1 test)
`tests/test_command_palette_sim.py::test_palette_starts_hidden` calls `_toggle_command_palette` (non-deterministic) and asserts `show_command_palette is False`. The toggle is open-if-closed, close-if-open, so the assertion depends on prior state.
**Failing test:** `tests/test_command_palette_sim.py::test_palette_starts_hidden`
**Fix:** call a deterministic close callback (e.g., `_close_command_palette`) instead of toggle. If no such callback exists, push the toggle twice (open then close).
## Goals
| ID | Goal | Acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| G1 | `NormalizedResponse` accepts both the new `usage: UsageStats` and the legacy flat `usage_input_tokens=...` kwargs | All 12 affected tests pass; existing usage in `src/ai_client.py:908` continues to work |
| G2 | `test_auto_whitelist_keywords` no longer attempts to mutate a frozen `Session` | The test passes; no production code change |
| G3 | `test_palette_starts_hidden` uses a deterministic close path | The test passes; the test no longer depends on prior fixture state |
| G4 | Full test suite (`scripts/run_tests_batched.py`) is green | 0 failed, 0 new failures vs baseline |
## Non-Goals
- Refactoring `NormalizedResponse` to remove the legacy support (the fix is additive; legacy kwargs continue to work)
- Migrating `src/ai_client.py:908` from the legacy API to the new API (out of scope; the fix makes both work)
- Adding new tests beyond fixing the 14 failing ones
- Touching any other files
## Functional Requirements
### FR1: NormalizedResponse dual-signature __init__
`src/openai_schemas.py` line 75-80: change `@dataclass(frozen=True)` to `@dataclass(frozen=True, init=False)` and add a custom `__init__` that:
- Accepts all 4 canonical kwargs: `text`, `tool_calls`, `usage`, `raw_response` (with defaults)
- Accepts all 4 legacy flat kwargs: `usage_input_tokens`, `usage_output_tokens`, `usage_cache_read_tokens`, `usage_cache_creation_tokens` (all `Optional[int]`, default `None`)
- If `usage` is None AND any legacy flat kwarg is non-None, builds a `UsageStats` from the legacy kwargs
- If both `usage` and legacy kwargs are None, builds `UsageStats(0, 0)`
- Uses `object.__setattr__` for all 4 field assignments (required because `frozen=True`)
### FR2: test_auto_whitelist_keywords uses replace
`tests/test_auto_whitelist.py:20`: change `reg.data[session_id]["whitelisted"] = True` to use `dataclasses.replace(reg.data[session_id], whitelisted=True)` and assign back to `reg.data[session_id]`.
### FR3: test_palette_starts_hidden uses deterministic close
`tests/test_command_palette_sim.py:38`: change the `_toggle_command_palette` callback to a deterministic close. Options (in preference order):
- (a) Call `_close_command_palette` directly if it exists in `_predefined_callbacks`
- (b) If no close callback exists, push `_toggle_command_palette` once, wait for state to settle, then push it again to guarantee close
- The test must end with `show_command_palette is False` regardless of starting state
## Non-Functional Requirements
- NFR1: 1-space indentation
- NFR2: CRLF line endings (Windows)
- NFR3: No comments in source code
- NFR4: Per-task atomic commits
- NFR5: No new pip dependencies
- NFR6: 0 new test failures introduced
## Architecture Reference
- `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md``Result[T]` convention (no changes needed; no Result changes in this fix)
- `conductor/code_styleguides/data_oriented_design.md` — DOD reference (the NormalizedResponse fix is purely additive)
- `src/openai_schemas.py:75-93` — the file being modified (FR1)
- `tests/test_auto_whitelist.py:20` — the file being modified (FR2)
- `tests/test_command_palette_sim.py:38` — the file being modified (FR3)
## Out of Scope
- Migrating `src/ai_client.py:908` from the legacy API to `usage: UsageStats(...)` (the additive fix makes both work; explicit migration is a separate concern)
- Adding regression tests for the new NormalizedResponse dual-signature behavior (the 12 existing tests ARE the regression test)
- Refactoring Session to not be frozen (the test fix is simpler)
- Fixing the root cause of `_toggle_command_palette` being non-deterministic (the test fix is simpler)
- Any changes to test infrastructure or conftest
## Verification Criteria (Definition of Done)
| # | Criterion | Verification command |
|---|---|---|
| VC1 | The 12 NormalizedResponse tests pass | `uv run pytest tests/test_ai_client_cli.py tests/test_ai_client_tool_loop.py tests/test_ai_client_tool_loop_builder.py tests/test_ai_client_tool_loop_send_func.py tests/test_gemini_cli_integration.py tests/test_gemini_cli_parity_regression.py tests/test_gemini_cli_edge_cases.py -v` |
| VC2 | `test_auto_whitelist_keywords` passes | `uv run pytest tests/test_auto_whitelist.py -v` |
| VC3 | `test_palette_starts_hidden` passes | `uv run pytest tests/test_command_palette_sim.py -v` |
| VC4 | Full batched test suite is green | `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py` (all 11 tiers PASS) |
| VC5 | The 4 mandatory audit gates remain clean | `uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py` (informational); `uv run python scripts/audit_weak_types.py`; `uv run python scripts/audit_main_thread_imports.py`; `uv run python scripts/audit_no_models_config_io.py` |
| VC6 | No new test failures introduced | diff `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py` summary table against pre-fix baseline (the 14 known failures are now green; no new failures added) |
## Risks
| # | Risk | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | The custom `__init__` with `init=False` breaks other NormalizedResponse callers that pass positional args | low | The class is only constructed in 1 production site (`src/ai_client.py:908`) and the 12 test sites, all of which use kwargs. Verify by running the 12 tests. |
| R2 | The `dataclasses.replace()` for Session assignment to `reg.data[session_id]` mutates the registry's internal state in a way that breaks other tests | low | The registry stores sessions in a dict. `reg.data[session_id] = replace(...)` is a normal dict assignment, equivalent to the old `reg.data[session_id]["whitelisted"] = True` semantics. |
| R3 | A deterministic close callback doesn't exist in `_predefined_callbacks` | medium | Fallback option: push toggle twice. Verify by checking the available callbacks in the API hooks registry. |
| R4 | `UsageStats(0, 0)` syntax (when no kwargs and no legacy) is wrong if UsageStats requires explicit args | low | Verified: `UsageStats` has `input_tokens: int` and `output_tokens: int` as required, with `cache_*_tokens: int = 0` defaults. `UsageStats(0, 0)` is valid. |

# Live GUI Test Infrastructure Fixes — Plan
## Phase 1: Investigation
Focus: Find the root causes of the 2 issues.
- [ ] **Task 1.1: Read the relevant code for Issue 1 (GUI subprocess crash)**
- WHERE: `tests/test_extended_sims.py:59::test_execution_sim_live`, `src/extended_sims.py` (or wherever `ExecutionSimulation` is), `src/gui_2.py`, `src/app_controller.py`
- WHAT: Read the test trigger (`sim.run()`), the simulation setup, the GUI subprocess management, and the script generation flow.
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_read_file` for the test; `manual-slop_py_get_skeleton` for the production code; `manual-slop_py_find_usages` to find where the GUI subprocess is started.
- SAFETY: Read-only.
- NO COMMIT (investigation only).
- [ ] **Task 1.2: Reproduce the GUI subprocess crash in isolation**
- WHERE: `tests/test_extended_sims.py:59::test_execution_sim_live`
- WHAT: Run the test in isolation with `-v` to confirm the failure mode matches the report (90s timeout, no AI text).
- HOW: `uv run pytest tests/test_extended_sims.py::test_execution_sim_live -v --timeout=120`
- SAFETY: Read-only. If the test passes in isolation, the failure is environmental (xdist, parallel load); investigate differently.
- [ ] **Task 1.3: Read the relevant code for Issue 2 (xdist race)**
- WHERE: `tests/test_live_gui_workspace_fixture.py:10::test_live_gui_workspace_exists`, `tests/conftest.py:727::live_gui_workspace`, the `live_gui` fixture (parent)
- WHAT: Read the fixture chain. Identify what cleans up the workspace.
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_read_file` and `manual-slop_py_find_usages`.
- SAFETY: Read-only.
- [ ] **Task 1.4: Verify Issue 2 on parent commit `4ab7c732` in isolation**
- WHERE: Parent commit `4ab7c732`
- WHAT: Check out the parent commit, run the test in isolation, record pass/fail.
- HOW: `git checkout 4ab7c732` (whole commit; per AGENTS.md HARD BAN on `git checkout -- <file>`), then `uv run pytest tests/test_live_gui_workspace_fixture.py::test_live_gui_workspace_exists -v`. Then `git checkout tier2/result_migration_small_files_20260617` to return.
- SAFETY: HARD BAN on `git checkout -- <file>`. Use `git checkout <commit>` and `git checkout <branch>`. The branch is the working track; switching to a commit and back is safe.
- RECORD: Save the result to `tests/artifacts/PHASE14_PARENT_VERIFICATION.log` (continuation of `PHASE13_PARENT_COMMIT_RESULTS.log`).
- COMMIT: `chore(audit): Phase 14.1 - verify Issue 2 on parent commit 4ab7c732 (recorded result)`
---
## Phase 2: Fix Issue 2 (xdist race)
Focus: Fix the `test_live_gui_workspace_exists` failure. This is the smaller of the 2 issues.
- [ ] **Task 2.1: Add a TDD test that captures the race**
- WHERE: `tests/test_live_gui_workspace_fixture.py` (extend the existing test file)
- WHAT: Add a new test that captures the race condition. E.g., `test_live_gui_workspace_stable_under_xdist` that runs the assertion in a loop and checks the workspace exists for a few iterations.
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_edit_file` to add the new test. Follow the existing test style (1-space indent, type hints, docstring).
- SAFETY: TDD-first. The test should FAIL on the current commit (without the fix) and PASS after the fix.
- VERIFY: `uv run pytest tests/test_live_gui_workspace_fixture.py::test_live_gui_workspace_stable_under_xdist -v` should FAIL on current.
- COMMIT: `test(tests): TDD for test_live_gui_workspace_exists xdist race (failing test)`
- GIT NOTE: "Phase 2.1. TDD test for xdist race. Passes in isolation, fails in batch. Root cause: workspace cleanup timing under xdist."
- [ ] **Task 2.2: Fix the root cause of the race**
- WHERE: The fixture or cleanup code identified in Task 1.3
- WHAT: Apply the fix. The likely fix is to make the workspace creation more robust against xdist cleanup (e.g., create the workspace lazily, hold a reference, or coordinate cleanup across workers).
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_edit_file`. The exact change depends on the root cause found in Task 1.3.
- SAFETY: TDD: the test from 2.1 must PASS after the fix. The audit's 0 violations in sub-track 2 scope MUST be preserved. No new `@pytest.mark.skip` markers.
- VERIFY: `uv run pytest tests/test_live_gui_workspace_fixture.py -v` should PASS.
- COMMIT: `fix(tests): test_live_gui_workspace_exists xdist race — root cause: [description]`
- GIT NOTE: "Phase 2.2. xdist race fix. [verified pre-existing on parent / regression fix]. Root cause: [description]."
- [ ] **Task 2.3: Verify the fix in batched run**
- WHERE: `tier-1-unit-gui` tier
- WHAT: Run the full tier-1-unit-gui tier to confirm the fix works in batched (xdist) execution.
- HOW: `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py` (the full runner) or just the tier-1-unit-gui files.
- VERIFY: The test `test_live_gui_workspace_exists` passes in the batched run.
- COMMIT: (no commit — just verification)
---
## Phase 3: Fix Issue 1 (GUI subprocess crash)
Focus: Fix the `test_execution_sim_live` failure. This is the larger of the 2 issues.
- [ ] **Task 3.1: Add diagnostic logging to find the crash point**
- WHERE: `src/gui_2.py` (or wherever the script generation flow is)
- WHAT: Add temporary `sys.stderr.write(f"[GUI_SUBPROC_DIAG] ...")` lines at the suspected crash points (script generation start, AI request, response handling, modal display, etc.).
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_edit_file`.
- SAFETY: This is diagnostic noise. **MUST be removed in Task 3.5.** Per AGENTS.md "No Diagnostic Noise in Production" rule.
- VERIFY: Run the test; capture the output; identify the last `[GUI_SUBPROC_DIAG]` line printed before the crash.
- NO COMMIT (or commit as WIP and amend later).
- [ ] **Task 3.2: Add a TDD test that captures the crash**
- WHERE: `tests/test_extended_sims.py` (extend the existing test file)
- WHAT: Add a new test that captures the GUI subprocess crash mode. E.g., a simpler test that just calls `sim.run()` and checks the GUI subprocess is alive after.
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_edit_file`.
- SAFETY: TDD-first. The test should FAIL on the current commit (without the fix) and PASS after the fix.
- VERIFY: The new test should FAIL on current.
- COMMIT: `test(tests): TDD for test_execution_sim_live GUI subprocess crash (failing test)`
- GIT NOTE: "Phase 3.2. TDD test for GUI subprocess crash. 90s timeout. Root cause: [description]."
- [ ] **Task 3.3: Fix the root cause of the crash**
- WHERE: The crash point identified in Task 3.1
- WHAT: Apply the fix. The likely fix is to make the script generation flow more robust (e.g., handle the case where the GUI dies, retry the AI call, or fix the deadlock/memory issue/signal handling).
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_edit_file`. The exact change depends on the root cause.
- SAFETY: TDD: the test from 3.2 must PASS after the fix. The audit's 0 violations in sub-track 2 scope MUST be preserved.
- VERIFY: `uv run pytest tests/test_extended_sims.py::test_execution_sim_live -v --timeout=120` should PASS.
- COMMIT: `fix(src): test_execution_sim_live GUI subprocess crash — root cause: [description]`
- GIT NOTE: "Phase 3.3. GUI subprocess (port 8999) crash fix. Same failure with both gemini_cli and gemini. NOT provider-specific. Root cause: [description]."
- [ ] **Task 3.4: Verify the fix in batched run**
- WHERE: `tier-3-live_gui` tier
- WHAT: Run the full tier-3-live_gui tier to confirm the fix works in batched execution.
- HOW: `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py` (the full runner).
- VERIFY: The test `test_execution_sim_live` passes in the batched run.
- COMMIT: (no commit — just verification)
- [ ] **Task 3.5: Remove diagnostic logging**
- WHERE: `src/gui_2.py` (or wherever the diagnostic was added)
- WHAT: Remove all `[GUI_SUBPROC_DIAG]` lines added in Task 3.1.
- HOW: Use `manual-slop_edit_file`. Verify the production code is clean.
- SAFETY: Per AGENTS.md "No Diagnostic Noise in Production" rule. **No `sys.stderr.write(f"[XYZ_DIAG] ...")` lines in production.**
- VERIFY: `grep -r "DIAG" src/` should return nothing. (Or `rg "DIAG" src/` on Linux/macOS.)
- COMMIT: `chore(src): remove diagnostic logging from test_execution_sim_live fix`
- GIT NOTE: "Phase 3.5. Removed [GUI_SUBPROC_DIAG] lines per AGENTS.md No Diagnostic Noise rule."
---
## Phase 4: Final verification
Focus: Verify all 11 test tiers pass clean. Document the results.
- [ ] **Task 4.1: Run the full 11-tier test suite**
- WHERE: Project root
- WHAT: `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py`
- VERIFY: The script runs to completion (no UnicodeEncodeError crash). All 11 tiers show `<<< tier-X PASS`. The summary table shows 11/11 PASS.
- RECORD: Save the test run output to `tests/artifacts/PHASE14_TEST_RUN_RESULTS.log`.
- COMMIT: (no commit — just verification)
- [ ] **Task 4.2: Update the per-site report and completion report**
- WHERE: `docs/reports/RESULT_MIGRATION_SMALL_FILES_20260617.md` (per-site report) and `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_result_migration_small_files_20260617.md` (completion report)
- WHAT: Add a "Phase 14 (Live GUI Test Fixes) Addendum" section that:
- Documents the 2 fixes (Issue 1 and Issue 2)
- References this track (`live_gui_test_fixes_20260618`)
- States the final test pass count: 11/11 tiers PASS clean
- COMMIT: `docs(reports): Phase 14 addendum — 2 documented test issues fixed; 11/11 tiers PASS clean`
- GIT NOTE: "Phase 14 addendum. The 2 documented test issues from sub-track 2 Phase 13 are fixed. All 11 tiers PASS clean."
- [ ] **Task 4.3: Update tracks.md to add the new track entry**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks.md`
- WHAT: Add a new row for this track in the "Active Tracks" section. Mark it as `shipped` (after Phase 4.1 verification) and document the 2 fixes.
- COMMIT: `docs(tracks): add live_gui_test_fixes_20260618 to tracks.md (shipped)`
- [ ] **Task 4.4: Update umbrella spec.md to note the fixes**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks/result_migration_20260616/spec.md`
- WHAT: Add a "Phase 14 Update" callout that documents the 2 fixes and the final test pass count.
- COMMIT: `docs(track): update umbrella with sub-track 2 Phase 14 addendum (11/11 tiers PASS clean)`
- [ ] **Task 4.5: Conductor - User Manual Verification**
- Per workflow.md: User manually verifies the 2 fixes, the test pass count, and the report's claims.

## Risks at the Plan Level
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Tier-2 adds a `@pytest.mark.skip` for Issue 1 or Issue 2 | The plan EXPLICITLY says "no new skip markers". User directive: investigate and fix. If the fix is too large, escalate to a follow-up track (do not skip). |
| Tier-2 miscounts test tiers (claiming 10 instead of 11) | The plan EXPLICITLY says "all 11 test tiers PASS". This is the sixth time. |
| Tier-2 leaves diagnostic logging in production | The plan EXPLICITLY says "MUST be removed in Task 3.5". Per AGENTS.md "No Diagnostic Noise in Production" rule. The verification step (grep for DIAG) catches this. |
| The GUI subprocess crash root cause is in a 3rd-party library (imgui, etc.) | The fix is a workaround in our code (e.g., retry, error handling). Document the workaround. |
| The xdist race fix requires a fundamental change to the `live_gui` fixture | Investigate the fixture carefully. If the fix touches `src/app_controller.py` or `src/gui_2.py`, run the full 11-tier test suite after the fix. |
| The fixes regress the 4 Gemini 503 skip markers | The 4 skip markers are network-dependent (Gemini 503). The fixes are in test infrastructure, not in `summarize.summarise_file`. The skip markers should still be needed. Verify by re-running the 4 tests. |

# Live GUI Test Infrastructure Fixes (2026-06-18)
## 0. Overview
This track addresses 2 test failures reported as "documented issues" by the `result_migration_small_files_20260617` sub-track Phase 13 (commit `30ca3265`). The failures are in test infrastructure (not Result[T] migration) and block full sub-track 2 closure.
**The 2 issues:**
1. **`tests/test_extended_sims.py:59::test_execution_sim_live`** (tier-3-live_gui)
- GUI subprocess (port 8999) crashes mid-test during script generation flow.
- Same failure with both `gemini_cli` (mock subprocess) and `gemini` (real SDK with `gemini-2.5-flash-lite`).
- 90s timeout reached without AI text. The GUI dies before the AI can respond.
- NOT provider-specific.
- Documented in `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_result_migration_small_files_20260617.md` Phase 13 Addendum.
2. **`tests/test_live_gui_workspace_fixture.py:10::test_live_gui_workspace_exists`** (tier-1-unit-gui)
- xdist race condition. Workspace can be cleaned up between fixture setup and test assertion.
- Passes in isolation on both parent (`4ab7c732`) and current commit.
- Documented in `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_result_migration_small_files_20260617.md` Phase 13 Addendum.
**Both issues are NOT regressions from the Result[T] migration.** They are pre-existing test infrastructure issues that surface in batched parallel test runs.
**This track is small:** 2 issues, 1 test file + 1 conftest change (likely), 11 tiers verified.
## 1. Current State Audit (as of 2026-06-18, base commit `30ca3265`)
### Already Implemented (DO NOT re-implement)
- **Phase 13 of `result_migration_small_files_20260617`** (commit `30ca3265`) — the migration track is shipped with 2 documented issues for diff tracks. This track picks up the 2 issues.
- **`scripts/run_tests_batched.py:207-214`** (commit `0c62ab9d`) — `sys.stdout.reconfigure(encoding="utf-8", errors="replace")` fix for the UnicodeEncodeError crash.
- **`tests/artifacts/PHASE13_PARENT_COMMIT_RESULTS.log`** (commit `b96252e9`) — parent commit investigation log. Documents that 0 of the 3 reported Phase 12 failures are regressions; 2 are pre-existing flakies (Gemini 503); 1 is a parallel-execution flake.
### Gaps to Fill (This Track's Scope)
1. **Issue 1 (`test_execution_sim_live`):** investigate the GUI subprocess crash on port 8999. Find the root cause. Fix it. Add a TDD test that captures the failure mode. Verify the test passes.
2. **Issue 2 (`test_live_gui_workspace_exists`):** investigate the xdist race in the `live_gui_workspace` fixture. Find the root cause. Fix it. Add a TDD test that captures the race. Verify the test passes.
3. **Verify all 11 tiers pass clean** (no documented issues) after both fixes.
### Out of Scope (Explicit)
- The 4 `@pytest.mark.skip` markers for Gemini 503 pre-existing failures (`test_auto_aggregate_skip`, `test_view_mode_summary`, `test_view_mode_default_summary`, `test_view_mode_custom_empty_default_to_summary`). These depend on the live Gemini API. To remove them, mock the Gemini API in `summarize.summarise_file` for tests. This is a separate concern; deferred to a follow-up track.
- Sub-track 3 (`result_migration_app_controller`) and beyond. This track is a precondition for sub-track 2's full closure; sub-track 3 is a separate track.
- The 4 audit-script bug fixes from sub-track 2 Phase 1 (already done in commit `4c536e79`).
- The 27 sites migrated in sub-track 2 (already done in Phases 3-8 and Phase 12).
- Phase 13 state.toml cleanup (the `phase_13_all_11_tiers_actually_pass = false` flag inconsistency). This is a small cleanup task; will be done in a separate commit, not in this track.
## 2. Goals
- Fix the 2 documented test infrastructure issues.
- Verify all 11 test tiers pass clean (no documented issues, no skip markers from this track).
- Re-verify Issue 2 on the parent commit `4ab7c732` to confirm it is a pre-existing race, not a Phase 12 regression.
- Unblock sub-track 2's full closure (the 2 issues are removed; the only remaining skip markers are the 4 Gemini 503 pre-existing failures, which are out of scope for this track).
## 3. Functional Requirements
### FR-1: Fix `test_execution_sim_live` GUI subprocess crash
- **File:** `tests/test_extended_sims.py:59::test_execution_sim_live`
- **Symptom:** GUI subprocess (port 8999) crashes mid-test during script generation flow. 90s timeout reached without AI text.
- **Failure observed with both providers:** `gemini_cli` (mock subprocess) and `gemini` (real SDK, `gemini-2.5-flash-lite`).
- **Investigation steps:**
1. Read `src/gui_2.py` to find the script generation flow.
2. Read `src/app_controller.py` to find the GUI subprocess management.
3. Read `src/extended_sims.py` (or wherever the `ExecutionSimulation` is) to find the `sim.run()` implementation.
4. Read the test (`tests/test_extended_sims.py`) to understand the trigger.
5. Reproduce the crash in isolation. Add diagnostic logging temporarily to identify where the GUI dies.
6. Find the root cause (deadlock, memory issue, signal handling bug, port conflict, etc.).
- **Fix approach:** TDD. Add a failing test that captures the crash mode. Fix the root cause. Verify the test passes. Remove diagnostic logging.
- **Commit:** `fix(src): test_execution_sim_live GUI subprocess crash — root cause: [description]`
- **Git note:** "Phase FR-1. The GUI subprocess (port 8999) crashes mid-test during script generation. Root cause: [description]. Same failure with both gemini_cli and gemini. NOT provider-specific. Fixed by [approach]."
### FR-2: Fix `test_live_gui_workspace_exists` xdist race
- **File:** `tests/test_live_gui_workspace_fixture.py:10::test_live_gui_workspace_exists`
- **Symptom:** xdist race condition. Workspace can be cleaned up between fixture setup and test assertion. Passes in isolation.
- **Investigation steps:**
1. **Verify on parent commit `4ab7c732` first** (per AGENTS.md: pre-existing claims must be backed by parent-commit run, not assertion). Run the test on parent in isolation. If it passes on parent in isolation, it's pre-existing. If it fails on parent in isolation, it's a Phase 12 regression.
2. Read `tests/conftest.py:727::live_gui_workspace` to understand the fixture.
3. Read the `live_gui` fixture (parent of `live_gui_workspace`) to understand cleanup behavior.
4. Identify what cleans up the workspace between fixture setup and test assertion under xdist.
5. Find the root cause (likely a session-level cleanup that fires asynchronously).
- **Fix approach:** TDD. Add a failing test that captures the race. Fix the root cause. Verify the test passes under xdist.
- **Commit:** `fix(tests): test_live_gui_workspace_exists xdist race — root cause: [description]`
- **Git note:** "Phase FR-2. xdist race condition. [verified on parent commit / regression if not]. Root cause: [description]. Fixed by [approach]."
### FR-3: Verify all 11 test tiers pass clean
- **Run:** `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py`
- **Verify:** The script runs to completion (no UnicodeEncodeError crash). All 11 tiers show `<<< tier-X PASS`. The summary table shows 11/11 PASS.
- **Per-tier checks:**
- 9 tiers: 0 failures, 0 errors.
- 2 tiers (tier-1-unit-gui, tier-3-live_gui): 0 failures after the fixes in FR-1 and FR-2.
- **Document:** Save the test run output to `tests/artifacts/PHASE14_TEST_RUN_RESULTS.log`.
- **Commit:** (no commit — just verification)
### FR-4: Re-verify Issue 2 on parent commit
- **File:** `tests/test_live_gui_workspace_fixture.py:10::test_live_gui_workspace_exists`
- **Action:** Run the test on the parent commit `4ab7c732` in isolation. Record pass/fail.
- **Save:** Update `tests/artifacts/PHASE13_PARENT_COMMIT_RESULTS.log` with the Issue 2 verification.
- **Commit:** `chore(audit): Phase 14.2 - verify Issue 2 on parent commit (record result)`
## 4. Non-Functional Requirements
- **No day estimates, no T-shirt sizes.** Per AGENTS.md HARD BAN.
- **Atomic per-task commits.** Each fix is one commit. No batching of FR-1 and FR-2 into one commit.
- **Per-task git notes.** Each commit has a 1-3 sentence git note summarizing the change.
- **All 11 test tiers must pass.** The test count is 11, NOT 10, NOT 9. (This is the sixth time this is being emphasized across sub-track 2.)
- **No new `@pytest.mark.skip` markers.** Per user directive: do not add skip markers for flaky tests. Investigate and fix the root cause. If the fix is too large for this track, escalate to a follow-up track (do not skip).
- **AGENTS.md HARD BAN on `git restore` and `git checkout -- <file>`.** Use `git checkout <commit>` (whole commit) and return via `git checkout <branch>`.
## 5. Architecture Reference
- **`docs/guide_testing.md`** — the project's testing standard. 251 test files, 5 categories, 7 conftest fixtures (`isolate_workspace`, `reset_paths`, `reset_ai_client`, `vlogger`, `kill_process_tree`, `mock_app`, `live_gui` session-scoped), Puppeteer pattern, mock provider, structural testing contract.
- **`conductor/code_styleguides/workspace_paths.md`** — workspace path rules. Test workspaces live in `tests/artifacts/`. Conftest creates them. Never use `tmp_path_factory.mktemp` (it lives in `%TEMP%` and the user cannot find it).
- **`docs/AGENTS.md` §"Critical Anti-Patterns"** — the rules this track follows: TDD, no comments, atomic commits, per-task git notes, 1-space indentation, no diagnostic noise in production.
- **`docs/AGENTS.md` §"Skip-Marker Policy"** — `@pytest.mark.skip(reason=...)` is documentation of a known failure, not an excuse. The 4 existing skip markers from sub-track 2 Phase 13 are documented; this track does NOT add new ones.
## 6. Risks
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| The GUI subprocess crash root cause is hard to find | Add diagnostic logging temporarily; remove in the final commit. If the root cause is found but the fix is too large for this track, escalate to a follow-up track. Do NOT add a skip marker. |
| The xdist race fix requires a fundamental change to the `live_gui` fixture | Investigate the fixture carefully. If the fix touches `src/app_controller.py` or `src/gui_2.py`, the change may need cross-tier verification. Run the full 11-tier test suite after the fix. |
| Tier-2 re-adds a skip marker for Issue 1 or Issue 2 | The plan EXPLICITLY says "no new `@pytest.mark.skip` markers". User directive: switch provider and report if fails. If the fix is too large, escalate — do not skip. |
| Tier-2 miscounts test tiers (claiming 10 instead of 11) | The plan EXPLICITLY says "all 11 test tiers PASS". The 11th tier is `tier-1-unit-comms`. This is the sixth time. |
| Tier-2 makes a destructive edit (e.g., `write` tool to plan.md) | Use `manual-slop_edit_file` for plan.md. Never use destructive `write` on tracked files. |
## 7. Verification Criteria
- [ ] FR-1: `test_execution_sim_live` passes in isolation AND in batched run.
- [ ] FR-2: `test_live_gui_workspace_exists` passes in isolation AND in batched run. Verified on parent commit `4ab7c732` first.
- [ ] FR-3: All 11 test tiers pass clean (no documented issues from this track). 9/11 tiers remain passing clean. 2/11 tiers (tier-1-unit-gui, tier-3-live_gui) now pass clean (after the fixes).
- [ ] FR-4: Issue 2 parent-commit verification recorded.
- [ ] No new `@pytest.mark.skip` markers added by this track.
- [ ] Sub-track 2 `state.toml` cleanup: `phase_13_all_11_tiers_actually_pass = false` flag is fixed (in a separate commit, not in this track).
- [ ] Atomic per-task commits with git notes.
- [ ] No day estimates, no T-shirt sizes in any artifact.
## 8. Plan Reference
See `plan.md` for the executable plan (per-task WHERE / WHAT / HOW / SAFETY / COMMIT / GIT NOTE).
## 9. Notes for the Tier 2 Implementer
1. **Verify Issue 2 on parent commit FIRST** (per AGENTS.md skip-marker policy and the user's emphatic directive that "pre-existing" claims must be backed by parent-commit run). If it fails on parent in isolation, it's a Phase 12 regression — fix in FR-2. If it passes on parent in isolation, it's pre-existing — fix in FR-2 anyway (the user wants the test to pass in batch).
2. **Add diagnostic logging temporarily** to find the GUI subprocess crash root cause. **REMOVE the diagnostic logging in the final commit** (per AGENTS.md "No Diagnostic Noise in Production" rule). No `sys.stderr.write(f"[XYZ_DIAG] ...")` lines left in `src/*.py` after the fix.
3. **Use the 1-space indentation** for Python code (per AGENTS.md CRITICAL rule).
4. **Do NOT add new `@pytest.mark.skip` markers** for Issue 1 or Issue 2. The 4 existing skip markers from sub-track 2 Phase 13 are documented; do not add more.
5. **The test count is 11, NOT 10, NOT 9.** The 11th tier is `tier-1-unit-comms`. This is the **SIXTH** time this is being emphasized across the result_migration sub-tracks.
6. **The 4 Gemini 503 skip markers are out of scope.** They depend on the live Gemini API. To remove them, mock the Gemini API in `summarize.summarise_file` for tests. This is a separate concern; deferred to a follow-up track.
