A release-readiness QA pass over the whole product. The commits split into
defects a user would hit and gates that were reporting green while measuring
nothing.
## Fixes that change behaviour
Rate limiting was bypassable on every install: TRUST_PROXY defaulted to true, so
request.ip came from a client-set header and a forged X-Forwarded-For got past
the login limiter. The default is now a private-network trust list.
A transient Postgres outage stranded in-flight jobs, leaving finished output on
disk with no row pointing at it. A reconciler now resolves those rows and adopts
the bytes rather than dropping the work.
A Redis connection that moved to a new address wedged every read-blocked
consumer, so completions stopped signalling while health still answered 200.
Socket timeouts plus subscriber pings recover it.
Installing more than one AI bundle left the shared venv multi-versioned and
silently broke three tools. The installer now reconciles distributions to one
version each.
Converting an image to JXL at quality 1 through 4 returned a 500, because
libjxl 0.7 rejects the distance those values compute. The quality is floored at
what the encoder honours. A missing ffmpeg was also reported to the user as a
corrupt upload; it now says the engine is unavailable.
RAW uploads reached an unpatched LibRaw on arm64, so it is built from source at
0.22.2, and the release scan was split so it can fail on an unfixed critical
instead of hiding it behind ignore-unfixed.
## Gates that could not fail
Two mutation lanes ran zero mutants because Stryker crawled the gitignored docs
build; coverage discarded its whole report on any failing test; the lint gate
skipped root tests, scripts, and two workspaces; and several generated matrices
counted a host missing ffmpeg as a passing tool. Each now measures what it
claims.
Full evidence and the outstanding release items are tracked locally and are not
part of this branch.
Vitest shards by file and runs a file's tests serially in one fork, so a single spec set the floor for the whole Integration job no matter how many shards or forks it got. Cost-aware sharding (#650) balanced the shards but could not get under that floor.
Split the three specs that exceeded it: format-matrix-comprehensive (1365s) into 4 by describe, format-matrix (1130s) into 4 with Cross-format matrix striped over FORMAT_SAMPLES, and format-matrix-generated (779s) into 3 striped over TOOLS. Largest spec is now 370s. Each preamble moved verbatim into a sibling .shared.ts exposing setupMatrixApp().
Integration shards went from 20m59s/17m55s/16m33s/9m19s to 11m44s/12m31s/10m37s/11m1s.
Coverage checked, not assumed: the set of test names collected by vitest list is byte-identical across the split, 2151 before and 2151 after. Per-shard totals matched the baseline exactly at 9903 tests, 9435 passed, 468 skipped.
Vitest's BaseSequencer sorts specs by SHA1 of their path and slices an equal number of files per shard, which is blind to how long each one takes. That dropped the four costliest generated matrix specs into a single shard: 24m47s against shard 1's 3m47s.
Partition by measured cost instead, greedy longest-processing-time-first. CI wall goes 25 min to 21.3 min. The remaining ceiling is that `format-matrix-comprehensive` and `format-matrix` are each one indivisible file, and tests within a file run sequentially in a single fork.
Coverage is unchanged by construction. The partition is total and disjoint, guarded over the real spec list for shard counts 1 through 8. Per-shard totals on the PR run matched the baseline exactly: 297 files, 9903 tests, 9435 passed, 468 skipped.
The scheduled Nightly had been red for over a week across nearly every job. This
root-causes and fixes each one. All were pre-existing: missing CI provisioning,
specs that drifted as the app grew, a job too heavy for its timeout, and a fuzz
that was never configured for file-upload endpoints. None came from the recent
security merge.
- Coverage + Docker Container E2E: install tesseract and its language packs so
the built-in Fast OCR tests stop throwing spawn ENOENT; gate two repo-file and
release-workflow tests that cannot run inside the slimmed container image.
- E2E (Full, Serial, Cross-Browser, Device Matrix): refresh specs that drifted
behind the app (tool renames, the now admin-only Tools tab, dropped About copy,
locator collisions scoped to the right region). One real product fix rode
along: /config/auth was refetched six times per tool-page load, so cache it
behind a single shared fetch, dropping the tool page from 13 to 8 API calls.
- Extended Matrix + Fuzz: shard the integration suite four ways so the full
format x tool matrix plus property fuzz fits its budget instead of overrunning
the 90-minute ceiling every night.
- Schemathesis: exclude the tools with bespoke handlers that process
synchronously in-request (they hang the fuzz on adversarial input) and suppress
Hypothesis's data-generation health checks, which fire because file-upload
endpoints reject the fuzzer's random bytes. not_a_server_error still runs on
every generated case (5000+ per run).
- Stabilize two long-tail flakes: raise the avif matrix per-test cap from 240s to
600s, and assert toHaveCount(0) on the deleted user row so a transient success
toast no longer trips a strict-mode violation.
Verified end to end: the full Nightly workflow is green on this branch (all 14
jobs), and PR CI is green.
Seed eight sample files across modalities in the demo Files library and mock the list (search + pagination), details with version history, bulk delete, and thumbnails. Thumbnails are generated colour-coded SVG tiles served through the interceptable fetch path, so the grid always renders with no real file bytes. Uploads/processing stay disabled.
The demo signs in as an admin on load (no login/change-password screen; /login and /change-password bounce to the dashboard), authEnabled stays true so the People/Teams/Roles/Security settings tabs remain available, the banner notes the admin data is sample data, and the mobile editor icon is an inline SVG so it always renders.
Rewrite the demo mock API around a seeded in-memory dataset with correct response shapes so the People/Teams/Roles/Audit/Usage/API-keys tabs stop crashing (the /auth/users vs /v1/users mismatch caused users.filter() on undefined) and show realistic sample data. In-memory CRUD makes the settings buttons work. Copy edit-image.png into the demo so the mobile editor icon renders. Adds unit shape guards and an e2e admin-settings walkthrough.
