test(api): capture Signature B's mechanism, and rule out every in-repo cause - #23
Conversation
…o cause Signature B is a whole test file failing with a bare `'test failed'`, no assertion, no stack, and none of that file's own tests reported. It is still not fixed, and this change does not claim to fix it. What it does is replace inference with observation. Node's test runner spawns one child process per test file (confirmed here by distinct PIDs), and that bare message is its own hardcoded fallback for a child that exits non-zero or signaled while no subtest recorded a failure — so the message says nothing about the cause by design. Synthetic fixtures pin the shape: only `process.exit(1)` before test registration reproduces it. A post-test async throw, an `http.Server` emitting `'error'` with its listener removed, a rejection inside a test body, a delayed SIGKILL, and a module-load throw each print a diagnostic line, a stack, or a partial `✔` that the real defect never shows. `signature-b-preload.cjs` then settles it on real occurrences rather than proxies. It hooks `process.exit`, `process.kill`, `uncaughtExceptionMonitor` (passive — unlike `uncaughtException` it cannot alter crash behaviour), `unhandledRejection`, `rejectionHandled`, `warning`, `beforeExit` and Node's unconditional `exit`, writing redacted structured JSONL to disk, off stdout/stderr so the reporter is untouched. A bounded 20-run instrumented pass reproduced the defect 3 times, on three files never previously implicated — seven distinct files now, sharing only `startHarness`. All three captures log `start` and `preload-installed` and NOTHING else: not even `exit`, which fires for every JS-visible shutdown path including `process.exit()`. The child dies before the JS runtime can react. That directly rules out every mechanism this repository's code can cause or catch, and leaves an uncatchable external termination. The trigger is NOT established — the machine had ~2.5GB of 15.7GB free with other agents' work running, but no crash appeared in the Windows event logs, so resource pressure is circumstantial, not proven. No fix is invented. Sleeps, whole-file retries, or lowering concurrency would hide a symptom whose cause is outside this code. The preload is committed so the next occurrence is captured rather than re-derived. An earlier version of the preload patched `EventEmitter.prototype.emit` globally; it crashed the parent runner via node:test's own TestsStream and was removed. The file records why, so it is not reintroduced. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CUPqvu66J5ZVyiv4nJ797r

It records lifecycle, termination, resource, and error data. Tests cover child-process handling, redaction, serialization, log paths, permissions, test-file capture, and native abort behavior. The ADR and roadmap record updated findings. ChangesSignature B investigation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This PR adds test-only diagnostics to capture intermittent whole-file failures without changing production behavior. It is generally mergeable, but owner follow-up is still needed because ambiguous capture provenance, relative log-path handling, and incomplete run accounting could make future diagnostic results incomplete or difficult to reproduce.

signature-b-preload.cjswraps a finite set of process APIs and events. It cannot observe external kills, uncatchable signals, or native crashes. The ADR also states that these paths remain possible. Therefore, “instrumented every JS-visible process-level event” and “complete instrumentation” overstate the evidence.

What this is
Signature B is not fixed, and this PR does not claim to fix it. It replaces inference with observation, and commits the tool that did it.
Signature B: a whole test file occasionally fails with a bare
'test failed'— no assertion, no stack, none of that file's own tests reported — and passes on rerun. Prior investigation (ADR-0140 §4) reproduced it but could not capture the mechanism.What is now proven
The message says nothing about the cause, by design.
node --testspawns one child process per test file (confirmed here: distinct PIDs).'test failed'is Node's own hardcoded fallback for a child that exits non-zero or signaled while no subtest recorded a failure, deliberately carryingstack: undefined.Synthetic fixtures pin the shape. Only
process.exit(1)(orprocess.abort()) before test registration reproduces the silent whole-file shape. Every other candidate prints something the real defect never shows:process.exit(1)pre-registrationprocess.abort()pre-registrationℹ Error: ...generated asynchronous activity after the test ended...+✔on the testserver.emit('error')post-teardown✔SIGKILLafter a test completes✔prints firstThe preload settles it on real occurrences.
packages/api/test/diagnostics/signature-b-preload.cjshooksprocess.exit,process.abort,process.kill,uncaughtExceptionMonitor(passively observing uncaught exceptions and fatal unhandled rejections without altering runtime crash semantics),warning,beforeExit, and Node's unconditionalexit, writing redacted structured JSONL to disk (mode0700dir /0600file), off stdout/stderr so the reporter is untouched.A bounded 20-run instrumented pass reproduced the defect 3 times, on three files never previously implicated (
rate-limit-atomicity,dependency-parity,studies-api) — seven distinct files observed with this symptom to date. Occurrences across seven distinct files make a shared or cross-cutting path more plausible and make a defect confined to one test file less likely, but do not exclude file-specific inputs or lifecycle interactions.All three historical captures logged
startandpreload-installedand nothing else. None of the hooks active in that version fired.What is NOT proven
The root cause remains UNRESOLVED.
process.abort(). Becauseprocess.abort()terminates the process immediately without running Node'sexitlisteners, historical captures ruled outprocess.exit, unhandled rejections, and uncaught exceptions, but could not categorically exclude an abort path.process.abort()is now actively instrumented with synchronous logging, and real native abort integration is tested via a dedicated diagnostic fixture (packages/api/test/diagnostics/signature-b-preload-abort.diag.ts/npm run test:diagnostics:abort) so future captures will distinguishprocess.abort()from external termination (signals or OS-level kills) without executing native abort in routine test suites.Why no fix
The investigated JS mechanisms (
process.exit, exceptions, rejections) have been ruled out on historical captures, andprocess.abortis now instrumented. The available "fixes" — sleeps, whole-file retries, swallowing errors, lowering concurrency — would suppress the symptom while leaving the cause untouched, and are explicitly forbidden. Shipping one would be indistinguishable from coincidence.The preload is committed so the next occurrence, here or in CI, is captured rather than re-derived.
Note on the instrumentation itself
An earlier version patched
EventEmitter.prototype.emitglobally to catch unlistened'error'events. It crashed the parent runner — node:test's ownTestsStreamis an EventEmitter, and--requireloads into the top-level runner too, not just per-file children. It was removed, and the file documents why so it is not reintroduced. That perturbation was caught and discarded before any conclusion rested on it.Validation
