Fixes 15 defects found by a max-effort multi-agent review of the last 6 merged PRs (#388, #390, #391, #392, #393, #394), all adversarially verified before fixing. Install queue + dispatcher (the serious cluster): - features.ts: finalize the installer child exactly once. A failed spawn fires both "error" and "close", and the second event released the file lock and active slot that pump() had just handed to the next queued bundle, letting two pip processes write the same venv concurrently. Outcome recording now happens before pump() so the next bundle's first progress frame cannot race the previous install's bookkeeping. - feature-status.ts: keep failed-install errors in a per-bundle map instead of the single progress slot. With the queue auto-starting the next install, the slot was overwritten within seconds and a failed install vanished without ever surfacing to GET /features. - bridge.ts: scope child lifecycle per process (stopped-children set + request generation tags) instead of an instance-wide shuttingDown flag that the next spawn reset. A stale SIGTERMed child's late close event could record a phantom crash (5 of which permanently disable the dispatcher), null out the freshly spawned child, and reject the new child's pending requests. The request-timeout kill path still counts as a real crash. - install_feature.py: the pre-write disk re-check measured ai_dir's filesystem even when budgeting the cross-filesystem copy that lands on the venv's disk; now each budget is checked against the filesystem the bytes actually land on, so ENOSPC cannot strike mid-write and leave site-packages half overwritten. Behavior regressions: - embed-subtitles: preserve pre-existing subtitle tracks (0:s?) and MKV attachments (0:t?) that the -map 0:v:0/0:a? rewrite silently dropped; data streams stay unmapped on purpose (the actual MPEG remux fix). The new subtitle maps first so the language tag hits the right stream. - usage-survey-overlay: fail closed when the settings fetch fails; the fail-open path rendered the blocking survey against an unhealthy API and soft-locked admins, the lock-out class #392 fixed. - features-store: queued bundles poll instead of each holding an SSE connection (Install All could pin 7 EventSources and exhaust the browser's 6-per-origin HTTP/1.1 limit, hanging the whole app); listenToProgress closes any prior stream and stops any poll before subscribing; installAll skips bundles already installing or queued. Contracts, tests, i18n: - openapi.yaml: add "queued" to the features status enum and document downloadBytes/installedBytes (Schemathesis conformance). - feature-lifecycle e2e: queue transcription (~0.5 GB) instead of ocr (~6 GB) and give the test a budget that covers both install drains (the stacked waits exceeded the old 900s timeout). - docker-compose.qa.yml: parameterize the host port (QA_APP_PORT) so QA_PROJECT_NAME concurrent stacks can actually bind. - compare + watermark-image: restore per-input error attribution ("Invalid first/second image", "Invalid watermark image") lost in the shared-handler migration. - ai-features-section: the "{size} on disk" suffix now goes through i18n; key added to all 21 locales. - watermark-image + content-aware-resize: migrate to the shared inputHandlerFor("image") chain like compare/vectorize/compose, fixing drift in the inline copies (no SVG sanitize, no RAW extension hint, no AVIF probe). Verified: typecheck across 9 workspaces, Biome clean on all changed files, 584 targeted unit tests and 249 integration tests green (including real-ffmpeg embed-subtitles runs). One unit test updated to the new poll-while-queued contract with a single-EventSource assertion. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_017mR1HiHaf3a1BmUtrHX4j3

Fixtures
Fixtures live in tests/fixtures/ in a modality-first layout:
tests/fixtures/
index.ts # Typed registry -- import paths from here, not raw strings
manifest.json # sha256 + bytes + provenance for all valid/ assets
gen-manifest.mjs # Re-stamps manifest hashes from disk
gen-synthetic-content.mjs # Regenerates CC0 synthetic content (QR, barcode, OCR, etc.)
LICENSES.md # Provenance audit trail
image/
valid/ # Real images for depth tests (portraits, scenes, OCR, etc.)
formats/ # Tier-1 tiny format samples (sample.png, sample.arw, ...)
edge/ # Edge-case images (1x1, blank, extreme aspect)
hostile/ # Malformed/bomb/polyglot files for rejection tests
video/
valid/ # Real videos (Big Buck Bunny CC-BY heroes, TTS speech)
formats/ # Tier-1 tiny format samples (tiny.mp4, tiny.webm, ...)
hostile/ # Truncated/malformed video files
audio/
valid/ # Real audio (TTS speech in 6 formats, tagged MP3)
formats/ # Tier-1 tiny format samples (tiny.mp3, tiny.wav, ...)
hostile/ # Zero-byte/malformed audio files
document/
valid/ # PDFs (3-page, 6-page, encrypted, OCR-scanned)
formats/ # Tier-1 tiny doc samples (tiny.docx, tiny.epub, ...)
edge/ # Edge-case docs (remote-img.html for SSRF tests)
hostile/ # Truncated/garbage documents
data/
valid/ # Data files (CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, TSV, ZIP)
security/ # XXE/SSRF test vectors (SVG)
Two-Tier Fixture Strategy
Tier-1: Tiny Synthetics (in formats/, edge/, hostile/)
Small, project-generated files for format-compatibility matrices and fast unit tests.
These are always-regeneratable by the generator scripts and are used for breadth.
Tier-2: Real Heroes (in valid/)
Content-representative files for integration and fidelity tests. Includes:
- Big Buck Bunny video clips (CC-BY, Blender Foundation)
- macOS TTS speech in 6 audio formats (CC0)
- Project-generated synthetics (QR codes, barcodes, OCR text images, PDFs)
- Portrait/scene photos for AI tool tests (some UNVERIFIED-REVIEW, see manifest)
Every valid/ file is tracked in manifest.json with sha256 hash, byte count,
source URL, and license. The manifest guard test (fixture-manifest.test.ts)
verifies disk matches manifest on every run.
Typed Fixture Registry
Always import fixture paths from tests/fixtures/index.ts:
import { fixtures, readFixture, fixtureDir } from "../../fixtures/index.js";
// Named paths (type-checked, IDE autocomplete)
const pngPath = fixtures.image.base.png200;
const heroMp4 = fixtures.video.hero.mp4;
// Read file bytes
const buffer = readFixture(fixtures.image.base.png200);
// Format accessor (for matrix iteration)
const arwPath = fixtures.image.formats("arw");
const mp4Path = fixtures.video.tiny("mp4");
// Directory paths (for glob/scan patterns)
const hostileDir = fixtureDir.image.hostile;
Guard Tests
Four guard tests protect fixture integrity:
| Guard | Location | What it checks |
|---|---|---|
| fixture-resolve | unit/fixtures/ |
Every registry path exists and is non-empty |
| fixture-budget | unit/fixtures/ |
Per-extension size caps prevent bloat |
| fixture-manifest | unit/fixtures/ |
sha256/bytes in manifest.json match disk |
| fixture-integrity | integration/fixtures/ |
Real heroes decode through Sharp/ffprobe/qpdf |
Additional parity guards:
| Guard | Location | What it checks |
|---|---|---|
| tool-registry-drift | unit/shared/ |
Frontend registry matches shared TOOLS catalog |
| tool-route-drift | integration/ |
API routes match shared TOOLS catalog |
| i18n-completeness | unit/shared/ |
All 21 locales have all required keys |
Adding a Fixture
- Add the file to the appropriate modality directory (
image/valid/,video/formats/, etc.) - Add a named key in
tests/fixtures/index.ts - Run
node tests/fixtures/gen-manifest.mjs(forvalid/files) - Fill in
sourceUrlandlicenseinmanifest.json - Update
LICENSES.mdif the file has third-party origin - Run guards:
pnpm vitest run tests/unit/fixtures/
Generator Scripts
Three generators produce deterministic synthetics. All are idempotent and skip
files that already exist (to avoid breaking manifest hashes from encoder-version
differences). Pass --force to gen-synthetic-content.mjs to overwrite.
| Script | Scope | Outputs |
|---|---|---|
scripts/generate-test-fixtures.mjs |
Tier-1 format samples | video/formats/tiny.mp4, audio/formats/tiny.{mp3,wav}, document/formats/tiny.{docx,xlsx,epub,html,md}, document/valid/encrypted.pdf |
scripts/generate-hostile-fixtures.mjs |
Hostile inputs | image/hostile/{truncated.jpg,zero-byte.png,garbage.jpg,png-bytes.jpg,bomb-50000x50000.png} |
tests/fixtures/gen-synthetic-content.mjs |
CC0 synthetics | QR codes, barcodes, OCR text images, PDFs, SVG logo, multi-face placeholder, animated GIF, tagged MP3, metadata MP4 |
The generators do NOT touch committed real heroes (BBB videos, TTS speech, UNVERIFIED-REVIEW photos).

Environment Requirements
Unit and integration tests need Postgres + Redis:
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
export DATA_DIR=/tmp/so-test-data && mkdir -p "$DATA_DIR"
Each Vitest fork gets its own Postgres DB clone + workspace + isolated BULLMQ_PREFIX
via tests/setup/per-fork-env.ts (testcontainers for Postgres). 30s test timeouts.
E2E Projects
The main Playwright config defines three projects:
- chromium: Parallel-safe specs, 2 workers (override via
PW_WORKERS) - chromium-serial: Global-state specs, 1 worker
- chromium-visual: Screenshot comparison specs (platform-suffixed baselines)
Auth setup project logs in and saves storage state. The webServer block spins up
both dev servers with a fresh test DB.
Environment Switches
| Variable | Effect |

FULL_MATRIX=1 |
Run all format x tool combinations (nightly) |
FUZZ=1 + FUZZ_RUNS=N |
Property-based fuzz testing (nightly) |
PW_WORKERS=N |
Override Playwright worker count |
CI Pipeline
PRs run: lint, typecheck, unit, integration (4 shards), e2e smoke. Nightly: full e2e, cross-browser, docker suite, full matrix + fuzz, coverage.
