What this does

The canonical four-tier timeout section landed in leynos/shared-actions#468. This documents what this repository sets and asserts it by value. No value moves: the 1,800 s watchdog and the 60 minute ceilings already satisfy the rule.

Two things came out of the reading that matter more than the assertions.

The per-test budget is a product, not a period

nextest warns once per period and terminates after terminate-after of them, so the budget a test gets is their product. Every period here is 60 s, so a contract reading the period alone would report a 60 s largest allowance where the real figure is 300 s on Linux and 600 s for the two Windows overrides.

Every comparison in the contract rests on that reading, so a test asserts it outright rather than leaving it implied. Mutating the multiplier away fails that test.

The whole-run budget is a gap, not a decision

No global-timeout is set. Unlike a repository that has turned nextest off, this one runs it, so the budget exists to be set and has not been. The guide records that as a gap rather than dressing it up as a choice.

Until it is set, the watchdog is doing tier two's job as well as its own. A run whose tests each stay inside their 600 s allowance can still exceed the watchdog between them, and the failure then names cargo rather than the run.

The contract binds a global-timeout the moment one appears: above the largest per-test allowance, and inside the watchdog once nextest's termination procedure and a cold build are counted. Adding one therefore lands in the right place rather than merely somewhere. It skips today, and says why.

Tier What it bounds Where it is set Current value
Per-test slow-timeout one test .config/nextest.toml 300 s (60 s x 5); 600 s (60 s x 10) for two tests on Windows
nextest global-timeout the whole test run .config/nextest.toml not set
Cargo watchdog one cargo invocation, wall clock RUN_RUST_CARGO_WAIT_TIMEOUT at job level 1,800 s (30 m)
Job timeout-minutes the whole job job level 60 m

What the allowance is sized against

The worst of several runs, not one:

Lane Worst coverage step Worst whole job Outside the step Run
ci.yml build-test 669 s 1,048 s 384 s 34047430187
coverage-main.yml coverage-upload 624 s 663 s 53 s 33809357448

Read across twelve successful runs of each workflow. The widest gap is 384 s, so the contract allows 15 minutes, making the requirement 45 minutes against ceilings of 60. None of those runs was genuinely cold.

A stale sentence corrected

The guide said the shared action's watchdog defaults to 600 seconds. That was true when written; it is now 1,800, the same figure these lanes set. The corrected text says so, and says why that makes writing the value down more important rather than less: an accidental deletion would change nothing observable until the run it killed.

Relationship to the existing contract

This is not the same assertion as tests/workflow_contracts/test_execution_coverage_test.py, which holds the two lanes to the same watchdog value. That one stops the lanes drifting apart; this one stops the tiers inverting. Both are named in the guide so the next reader does not merge them.

The new contract reads a step's own environment before the job's, as GitHub resolves it, so a lane that overrode the job value is judged as it will run.

Verification

make test-workflow-contracts passes at 295 with one skip, which is the conditional tier-two assertion explaining that no global-timeout is set. make lint-python, make check-fmt and make markdownlint are clean.

Four mutations, all caught:

Mutation Failing test
watchdog left unset on a coverage lane the explicit-watchdog case
a ceiling below the requirement the ordering case
a global timeout under the per-test allowance the conditional tier-two case
terminate-after ignored when reading the budget the multiplier case

Summary by Sourcery

Add timeout-ordering contracts and document the repository's configured and missing test-run timeout tiers.

Enhancements:

  • Document the repository's timeout tiers and enforce their ordering, including the computed nextest per-test budget and future whole-run timeout constraints.
  • Improve workflow and nextest configuration parsing to reflect runner behavior, resolve inherited watchdog values, validate malformed inputs, and report actionable errors.

Documentation:

  • Update the developers guide with the current watchdog default, timeout-tier definitions, sizing rationale, and the distinction between existing watchdog consistency and new timeout-ordering contracts.

Tests:

  • Add workflow-contract tests covering timeout ordering, per-test budget arithmetic, workflow lane discovery, environment precedence, multi-step jobs, conditions, malformed inputs, and synthetic whole-run configurations.

The canonical four-tier timeout section landed in shared-actions #468.
Applying it here documents what this repository sets and asserts it by
value. No value moves: the 1,800 s watchdog and the 60 minute ceilings
already satisfy the rule.

Two things came out of the reading that are worth more than the
assertions.

The per-test budget is a product, not a period. nextest warns once per
`period` and terminates after `terminate-after` of them, so the budget
is their product. Every period here is 60 s, so a contract reading the
period alone would report a 60 s largest allowance where the real figure
is 300 s on Linux and 600 s for the two Windows overrides. Every
comparison rests on that reading, so a test asserts it outright rather
than leaving it implied.

No `global-timeout` is set, and unlike a repository that has turned
nextest off, this one runs it, so the budget exists to be set and has
not been. That is recorded as a gap rather than dressed up as a
decision. Until it is set the watchdog is doing tier two's job as well
as its own: a run whose tests each stay inside their 600 s allowance can
still exceed the watchdog between them, and the failure then names
`cargo` rather than the run. The contract binds a `global-timeout` the
moment one appears, above the largest per-test allowance and inside the
watchdog once termination and a cold build are counted, so adding one
lands in the right place rather than merely somewhere.

The ceiling allowance is measured from the worst of several runs:

| Lane | Worst coverage step | Worst whole job | Outside the step | Run |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `ci.yml` `build-test` | 669 s | 1,048 s | 384 s | 34047430187 |
| `coverage-main.yml` `coverage-upload` | 624 s | 663 s | 53 s | 33809357448 |

Read across twelve successful runs of each workflow. The widest gap is
384 s, so the contract allows 15 minutes, making the requirement 45
minutes against ceilings of 60.

Also corrects a stale sentence: the guide said the shared action's
watchdog defaults to 600 seconds, which was true when written. It is now
1,800, the same figure these lanes set, which makes writing the value
down more important rather than less.

The contract reads a step's own environment before the job's, as GitHub
resolves it, so a lane that overrode the job value is judged as it will
run. It is not the same assertion as
`test_execution_coverage_test.py`, which holds the two lanes to the same
value; that one stops them drifting apart, this one stops the tiers
inverting.

Four mutations, all caught:

| Mutation | Failing test |
| --- | --- |
| watchdog left unset on a coverage lane | the explicit-watchdog case |
| a ceiling below the requirement | the ordering case |
| a global timeout under the per-test allowance | the conditional tier-two case |
| `terminate-after` ignored when reading the budget | the multiplier case |

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 914b5

This change adds documentation and automated checks that verify the project's test and coverage timeout settings stay consistent; existing timeout values are unchanged, so runtime behaviour is unaffected. The new checks have a few gaps that can let them pass without truly validating the workflows, or reject a valid runner configuration, so they are worth tightening, but they do not block merging.

Full details: Testing (Overall)

Explanation

The new tests are substantial in several areas, but they leave explicit new behaviour unguarded and include a vacuous contract. test_a_whole_run_budget_would_sit_inside_the_watchdog skips at the first branch because .config/nextest.toml has no global-timeout; the synthetic tests only verify parsing, so the ordering assertions for a future value never run. The sole test for bounds_a_single_test reads the current valid file and asserts only True; replacing that helper with return True would still pass. The new parse_workflow_text, read_workflow_document, and all_workflow_documents boundary has no direct tests for YAML 1.2 parsing, invalid YAML, unreadable or non-UTF-8 files, .yaml discovery, or error propagation. Existing calls exercise only valid repository workflows, all of which use .yml. These are changed-code paths covered by the pull request, and they match the check's explicit non-vacuous and substantive-testing requirements.

Resolution

Add synthetic ordering cases with a configured global-timeout, including values below the per-test allowance and above the watchdog capacity, so the future-value branch executes without changing the repository configuration. Test bounds_a_single_test with both a profile-level timeout and an override-only configuration, and reject malformed or non-terminating profile values as required. Add focused workflow-loading tests for YAML 1.2 boolean handling, malformed YAML, missing and invalid-UTF-8 files, .yml and .yaml discovery, non-mapping omission, and WorkflowReadError propagation. Run the complete workflow-contract suite after adding these tests.

Full details: Testing (Unit And Behavioural)

Explanation

Fail the testing check. The PR changes .github/workflows/ci-windows.yml and retains a windows-native-recipe-smoke job with a dependency, a PowerShell shell, and a smoke command, but it deletes ci_windows_smoke_test.py. The remaining ci_windows_job_test.py tests build-test-windows only and contains no assertion for the smoke job. A missing job, incorrect needs, shell, or command can therefore pass. The PR also adds WorkflowReadError, parse_workflow_text, read_workflow_document, and all_workflow_documents without direct tests for malformed YAML, unreadable or invalid UTF-8 files, .yaml discovery, non-mapping skips, or error propagation. Existing tests cover successful repository reads and the private YAML loader, but not these new error paths.

Resolution

Add a behavioural contract for windows-native-recipe-smoke. Load the real workflow and assert its job dependency, runner, timeout, restore-only cache profile, PowerShell execution, build command, smoke command, and step ordering. Add focused unit tests for the new workflow-reading boundary. Cover YAML 1.2 parsing, malformed YAML, missing files, invalid UTF-8, both workflow extensions, non-mapping documents, and propagation of WorkflowReadError. Keep the tests in the workflow-contract test command.

Split the lane reading that CodeScene flagged for complexity, nesting
and depth. `_declared_jobs` flattens the workflow and job levels
carrying each job's identity with it, `_coverage_steps` selects the
steps, and `_lanes_in_job` builds the lanes for one job; the fixture is
now a single comprehension. That clears all three findings together,
because they were three readings of the same shape.

The split put the module over the 400-line limit the Python lint gate
enforces, so the workflow reading now lives in
tests/workflow_contracts/coverage_lanes.py and the nextest arithmetic
stays in timeout_budgets.py.

Read the watchdog at workflow scope as well as step and job scope, and
test the resolution directly. Both workflows set the value at job level,
so a reading that stopped at the job passes on this tree while missing a
workflow-level value entirely.

Make the termination allowance two terms, the configured grace period or
nextest's ten-second default plus a separate 60-second safety margin. No
`global-timeout` is set here, so the ordering assertion that uses this
reading is skipped, which is why the reading has a test of its own
rather than resting on an assertion that never runs.

Inline the shared-actions link rather than using a reference definition.

Re-measure the ceiling's sizing from runs of every conclusion rather
than successful ones only: 60 runs of each workflow, 51 successful and 9
failed for ci.yml, 58 and 2 for coverage-main.yml, with no cancelled or
timeout-terminated run in either history. The widest gap is 358 s, so
the 15-minute allowance and the 45-minute requirement stand.

Mutations proven: dropping workflow scope from the watchdog resolution,
dropping job scope, finding no coverage steps, folding the termination
allowance into a maximum, and lowering the coverage job's ceiling to 40
minutes. Each fails a named test.

This comment was marked as outdated.

The assertions over the repository's own files are satisfied by several
plausibly wrong readings. Every terminate-after here is 5 or 10 and
every period is 60 s, so a reading that confused the two would still
order the tiers correctly; no global-timeout is set, so the ordering
assertion that would catch a wrong termination allowance never runs.

tests/workflow_contracts/timeout_budget_properties_test.py drives the
readings directly instead: every unit pinned and then generated, the
largest budget as a product over generated configurations, the
whole-run budget present, absent and commented out, and the error paths
for a duration nextest would reject, a slow-timeout without a period,
and a configuration setting none.

The lane reading now takes its documents as a parameter, defaulting to
the repository's own workflows, so the filesystem access sits at one
named boundary rather than inside the derivations. That answers the
architecture finding and makes the synthetic workflow cases possible:
a job with no ceiling reading as None rather than vanishing, a
malformed job or step yielding no lane rather than raising, and the
watchdog resolving step, then job, then workflow.

Mutations proven: reading a minute as 100 s, dropping the multiplier
from the budget, reading a commented-out global-timeout as set, treating
a non-mapping env as a mapping, and dropping a job that declares no
ceiling. Each fails a named case.

@coderabbitai The four pre-merge rows, answered at 6cc1219. Three errors, one warning, and I accept all four.

Testing (Overall) and Testing (Unit And Behavioural). Both are right, and for the same reason: the assertions over this repository's own files are satisfied by several plausibly wrong readings. Every terminate-after here is 5 or 10 and every period is 60 s, so a reading that confused the two would still order the tiers correctly. No global-timeout is set, so the one ordering assertion that would notice a wrong termination allowance is skipped entirely.

tests/workflow_contracts/timeout_budget_properties_test.py drives the readings directly. Every unit pinned exactly, including a decimal value and surrounding whitespace, and then generated. The 300 s and 600 s per-test budgets asserted by value. global_timeout present, absent, inside a profile, and commented out, that last case being the one that would turn a skip into a comparison against a budget nextest never applies. The error paths for an empty duration, a bare number, a bare unit, 300 sec, words, a negative value, an unsupported unit, an interior space, a slow-timeout with no period, and a configuration setting none at all.

Unit Architecture. Also right. coverage_lanes_of now takes its documents as a parameter, defaulting to the repository's own workflows, and workflow_documents is the one named place the contract touches the filesystem. That is what made the synthetic cases above possible rather than merely tidier: a job with no ceiling reading as None rather than vanishing from the list, a malformed job or step yielding no lane rather than raising, and the watchdog resolving step, then job, then workflow, with a non-mapping env skipped rather than dereferenced.

Testing (Property / Proof), warning. Hypothesis now generates durations across every unit, several slow-timeout entries with their multipliers, and several grace periods, holding the largest budget to the largest product and the termination allowance to the largest grace period plus the fixed margin.

Five mutations fail a named case: reading a minute as 100 s, dropping the multiplier from the budget, reading a commented-out global-timeout as set, treating a non-mapping env as a mapping, and dropping a job that declares no ceiling. make lint-python, make check-fmt, make markdownlint and make test-workflow-contracts pass on the head.

Learning: In `leynos/netsuke`, timeout workflow-contract tests must use synthetic workflow documents and direct parser tests to distinguish timeout units, `slow-timeout` multipliers, commented-out `global-timeout` settings, non-mapping `env` values, and jobs without `timeout-minutes`. Property tests should generate these values, and named mutation cases should protect the critical parsing and lane-retention behaviour.

Learning: In the Python workflow contract tests, keep GitHub Actions workflow traversal and coverage-lane construction in `tests/workflow_contracts/coverage_lanes.py`. Keep nextest timeout parsing and arithmetic in `tests/workflow_contracts/timeout_budgets.py`. The workflow reader carries each job's workflow identity with the job rather than reconstructing it from nested loop scope.

The shared phrase check rejects "hand-written" for "handwritten". It
caught the same wording on stilyagi #136, where the module was still
untracked when the local gate ran; this is the same correction before
the lane sees it.

Six findings, five of them holes in the readings.

The condition pin was keyed by workflow and job, so a job running the
coverage action twice had its second step overwrite the first. A step
skipped by `if: false` beside one carrying the expected condition passed
unexamined. The coordinate carries the step's name now.

`float("nan") <= 0` is False, and so is `float("inf") <= 0`, so both
passed the positivity check and reached the ceiling arithmetic, where
the comparison against a finite ceiling fails naming the ceiling rather
than the value at fault. Non-finite values are refused where they are
read.

Durations were one value and one unit. nextest parses them with
humantime through humantime_serde, which sums a sequence of pairs, so
`2h 30m` and `1d` are valid configuration this contract refused.
humantime takes whole numbers only, so `1.5m` is refused as the runner
refuses it rather than read as ninety seconds.

`terminate-after` accepted zero, negatives, fractions and quoted
numbers. Zero is the dangerous one: read as a number it makes the
per-test allowance vanish and every comparison above it passes against
nothing. Booleans are refused before integers, since True is an int in
Python and would otherwise read as a multiplier of one.

A `global-timeout` that is not a duration string read as absent, which
skipped the whole-run ordering assertion entirely. It raises now.

The blank-value case had no outer scope to fall through to, so it passed
against a reading that returned None as soon as the step's own value was
blank. It now sets a job-level budget and asserts the lane inherits it.

nextest_budgets.py and timeout_ordering_test.py crossed the 400-line
limit, so the duration reading moves to nextest_durations.py and the
base-allowance assertion to base_allowance_test.py.

Proved by mutation: dropping the finite check fails two cases, accepting
any terminate-after fails five, and reading a non-string global-timeout
as absent fails one.

This comment was marked as outdated.

Three pre-merge rows and a defect the rows led to.

Two of the rows were one fault: the lane reading parsed workflows a
second time, with `yaml.safe_load`, while `workflow_loading` was
already the suite's parser. That second loader implements YAML 1.1, so
it reads the `on:` trigger key as `True`, and it reported an unreadable
file with whatever exception the failure happened to raise, several
frames from any assertion. Reading now goes through the boundary, which
gains a directory reader and `WorkflowReadError`: a missing file, bytes
that do not decode and text that is not YAML all arrive as one type
carrying the path. `load_workflow` shares the same reader rather than
opening the file itself.

The testing row was right that nothing proved a job's coverage steps
all become lanes. The grouping and the ceiling arithmetic were driven
from lanes built in the test, and no workflow here runs the action
twice in one job, so a reading returning a job's first coverage step
would have satisfied every assertion the real tree supports. Two tests
now drive it from a document: both steps read as lanes with their own
watchdogs, and both reach `_budgets_per_job` and `required_ceiling` and
fail the job's ceiling together where each alone would pass. Truncating
`_coverage_steps` to its first match fails all three of the multi-step
tests.

The defect is the duration grammar, which was written from a belief
about humantime rather than from humantime. Compiled against 2.4.0, the
version nextest resolves, it accepts a fractional value with whitespace
tolerated around the point, so `1.5m` and `1 . 5 m` are ninety seconds,
and it accepts `wk`, `wks`, `yr` and `yrs`. This reader refused all of
them, which is the fault the module exists to avoid: a configuration
the runner is happy with, called broken here. The refused cases are now
what humantime refuses, measured the same way.

`coverage_lane_reading_test` passed the 400-line limit, so the
multi-step cases move to `coverage_lane_multi_step_test`.

A coverage step with no `name` takes its job's name, so two of them in
one job produce two lanes at the same `(workflow, job, step)`
coordinate. The condition contract built a mapping from coordinate to a
single condition, which kept the last: a step skipped by `if: false`
beside one carrying the expected condition passed unexamined, which is
the exact fault the coordinate gained the step's name to prevent.

`conditions_by_coordinate` groups the lanes and returns the sequence
found at each coordinate, so a pinned entry stands for exactly one lane
and a collision fails rather than hiding one of them. It lives beside
the lane derivation in `coverage_lanes.py` rather than in the contract,
where the module is at its 400-line limit.

Proved by mutation: restoring the single-condition mapping fails
`test_two_unnamed_coverage_steps_share_a_coordinate`, which drives two
unnamed steps through a synthetic document since no job here runs the
action twice.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01X9dCWropq1ECE5qH64rtWg
`Path.glob` yields nothing for a missing path and for a path that is not
a directory, so `all_workflow_documents` returned an empty mapping
instead of raising. `coverage_lanes.workflow_documents` then derived
every lane from zero workflows, and every lane assertion passed having
read no workflow at all. That is the same fault as a workflow the reader
never saw, which this boundary already raises `WorkflowReadError` for,
so it raises it here too, naming the path.

Two regressions rather than one, because the empty result is reached by
two routes and a guard testing only for existence would pass the file
case. Proved by mutation: removing the guard fails both.

The Oxford comma the same paragraph was missing is in, and the guide
records the case.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01X9dCWropq1ECE5qH64rtWg
The grammar was recorded as humantime 2.4.0's. The lockfile of
cargo-nextest 0.9.133, the release `ci.yml` pins, resolves humantime
2.3.0 through `humantime_serde`. The two versions ship a byte-identical
`duration.rs`, so nothing the reader accepts changes; the version this
contract claims to have been measured against does, and a claim nobody
can check is worth less than the measurement it stands for.

Measuring it again found two forms the reader refused and humantime
accepts. Its parser ignores whitespace while it accumulates a number, so
`1 0s` is ten seconds rather than a malformed duration, and it
special-cases the exact text `0` before reading a character, so a zero
duration carries no unit. Both are configurations nextest is happy with
that this contract would have called broken, which is the fault the
module exists to avoid. `300` stays refused: the zero is the only value
that may omit its unit, and the comparison is against the raw text, as
humantime's is, so `" 0 "` is refused here as nextest refuses it.

Proved by mutation: narrowing the digits back to `\d+` fails the spaced
number, and dropping the zero case fails the bare zero.

Reading one value-and-unit pair moved into `_read_pair`. The zero case
took `seconds` to a cyclomatic complexity of nine, which is CodeScene's
threshold, and the loop body was two refusals and an arithmetic line
that never belonged to the summing.

The guide's missing Oxford comma in the unit list is in.

This comment was marked as outdated.

`.config/nextest.toml` sets no `global-timeout`, so
`test_a_whole_run_budget_would_sit_inside_the_watchdog` skipped at its
first line and asserted nothing. A rule that has never executed agrees
with every wrong rule, and this one was written to bind a value the
moment somebody adds it: the one occasion it would first run is the one
occasion nobody could afford it to be wrong.

The rule moves to `whole_run_ordering.whole_run_ordering_faults`, taking
its configuration and its lanes as parameters and returning every fault
rather than raising on the first, so a reader sees each lane at fault.
The repository contract calls it and still skips, which is honest about
this tree; `whole_run_ordering_test.py` drives it with configurations
this repository does not have.

Seven cases, each chosen for a rule that would otherwise pass: a whole
run below the largest per-test allowance and one equal to it, a watchdog
one second short of the requirement and one meeting it exactly, a lane
declaring no watchdog, two short lanes at once, and the three terms of
the requirement pinned by value. Proved by mutation: relaxing either
comparison to its boundary, dropping the cold-build term, and reading
only the first lane each fail their own case and nothing else.

`bounds_a_single_test` is driven the same way, which the review asked
for and which this file could not support: it bounds its default
profile, so the reading agreed with one accepting an override, a table
with no `terminate-after`, or a bare duration. Five configurations now
separate them.

@coderabbitai One of the two failed pre-merge rows is addressed in c3d25315; the other is about changes this pull request does not contain.

Testing (Overall) (Error). Correct on both counts. test_a_whole_run_budget_would_sit_inside_the_watchdog skipped at its first line, because .config/nextest.toml sets no global-timeout, so the rule it holds had never executed and agreed with every wrong rule. The rule moved to whole_run_ordering.whole_run_ordering_faults, which takes a configuration and a set of lanes and returns every fault rather than raising on the first. whole_run_ordering_test.py drives it with configurations this repository does not have: a whole run below the largest per-test allowance and one equal to it, a watchdog one second short of the requirement and one meeting it exactly, a lane declaring no watchdog, two short lanes at once, and the three terms of the requirement pinned by value. Proved by mutation: relaxing either comparison to its boundary, dropping the cold-build term, and reading only the first lane each fail their own case. bounds_a_single_test is driven the same way, with five configurations, since this file bounds its default profile and so could not tell that reading from one accepting an override, a table with no terminate-after, or a bare duration.

Testing (Unit And Behavioural) (Error). This row is about a diff that is not this pull request's. gh pr diff 688 --name-only lists thirteen files: docs/developers-guide.md and twelve modules under tests/workflow_contracts/. It changes no workflow file, and tests/workflow_contracts/ci_windows_job_test.py is present on the branch and untouched by it. The ci-windows.yml changes and the smoke-job restructuring belong to df6f0058 ("Fold the Windows native-recipe smoke job into the gate job", #690) and 81d44f89 ("Run the Windows lints and tests as concurrent jobs", #692), both already on main. This branch sits nine commits behind main and touches none of that, so windows-native-recipe-smoke is not a behaviour this pull request introduces, removes, or leaves unguarded. Please re-evaluate this row against the pull request's own diff.

One check on this head is red for a reason outside the pull request. CodeScene coverage fails in coverage-pr-submit.yml, whose trusted job checks out the default branch at the default depth of one and then runs a CodeScene CLI step that needs HEAD~1: fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD~1': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. The same failure appears on main's own runs 34865299821, 34865630867 and 34868224886, all at 3e553bcb, so it is not attributable to this head, and it leaves CodeScene Code Coverage (main) queued indefinitely. Every other check on the head is green.

Have the following failed checks now been resolved?

  • Testing (Overall)
  • Testing (Unit And Behavioural)

@leynos: Mark Testing (Overall) as addressed.

Commit c3d25315 adds whole_run_ordering.whole_run_ordering_faults and direct synthetic tests. The tests cover absent and configured global-timeout values, strict per-test ordering, watchdog boundaries, absent watchdogs, multiple failing lanes, and all three required watchdog terms. This removes the previous gap caused by the repository configuration having no global-timeout.

Withdraw Testing (Unit And Behavioural). Pull request #688 changes 13 files. The changed files are the developer guide and timeout workflow-contract modules. It does not change .github/workflows/ci-windows.yml or tests/workflow_contracts/ci_windows_job_test.py. The windows-native-recipe-smoke concern is outside this pull request’s diff.

Treat the reported CodeScene failure as unrelated to these two findings. I did not verify the CI run status directly.

I used the existing timeout workflow-contract testing guidance while evaluating the new cases.

Learning: In `leynos/netsuke`, timeout workflow-contract tests must use synthetic workflow documents and direct parser tests to distinguish timeout units, `slow-timeout` multipliers, commented-out `global-timeout` settings, non-mapping `env` values, and jobs without `timeout-minutes`. Property tests should generate these values, and named mutation cases should protect the critical parsing and lane-retention behaviour.

`tests/workflow_contracts/` annotates several functions with names
imported only under `typing.TYPE_CHECKING`, so resolving those
annotations at runtime raises `NameError`. Under the 3.14 baseline PEP
649 defers evaluation, which is why the modules import cleanly and every
gate passes; the failure appears only when something resolves an
annotation rather than loading the module.

Reviewers asked for a change on both #728 and #729. Neither of the
suggested fixes is available: C9112 forbids `from __future__ import
annotations` on a 3.14 baseline, and TC003 forbids moving the imports
back out of the `TYPE_CHECKING` block. The failure also predates both
pull requests, reaching back to #688.

A sweep resolving every module's own functions with
`typing.get_type_hints` finds 23 of 77 modules and 85 functions affected,
so the idiom is repository-wide rather than local to the two modules
first reported.

Adopt the record-of-decision option: runtime annotation introspection is
not a supported use of these modules, which `ty` reads statically and
pytest executes. Record the measured scope, the four options considered,
and the gate that reopens the question. No suppression and no new gate is
introduced.

Separately, the `lint-workflow-scripts` comment claimed that loading a
module catches an annotation naming a `TYPE_CHECKING`-only import. That
claim is stale for the 3.14 baseline: loading now defers the annotation
instead of evaluating it, so the gate cannot observe this class. Correct
the comment to state what loading does still catch, and name ADR-034 for
the class it no longer reaches. The recipe body is unchanged.

Cross-reference the decision from the index, the developers' guide, the
interpreter-check docstring, the two affected modules, and the changelog
so the position is citable.

first reported.

Adopt the record-of-decision option: runtime annotation introspection is

Separately, the `lint-workflow-scripts` comment claimed that loading a
module catches an annotation naming a `TYPE_CHECKING`-only import. That
claim is stale for the 3.14 baseline: loading now defers the annotation
instead of evaluating it, so the gate cannot observe this class. Correct
the comment to state what loading does still catch, and name ADR-034 for
the class it no longer reaches. The recipe body is unchanged.

Cross-reference the decision from the index, the developers' guide, the
interpreter-check docstring, the two affected modules, and the changelog
so the position is citable.

* Record ADR-034 on runtime annotation introspection

`tests/workflow_contracts/` annotates several functions with names
imported only under `typing.TYPE_CHECKING`, so resolving those
annotations at runtime raises `NameError`. Under the 3.14 baseline PEP
649 defers evaluation, which is why the modules import cleanly and every
gate passes; the failure appears only when something resolves an
annotation rather than loading the module.

Reviewers asked for a change on both #728 and #729. Neither of the
suggested fixes is available: C9112 forbids `from __future__ import
annotations` on a 3.14 baseline, and TC003 forbids moving the imports
back out of the `TYPE_CHECKING` block. The failure also predates both
pull requests, reaching back to #688.

* Repair a sentence mdtablefix renumbered in ADR-034

`mdtablefix --wrap --renumber` read the line "PEP 649." as a numbered
list item at the start of a line and rewrote it to "1.", splitting the
sentence across two paragraphs. Reword so no line begins with a version
number, and re-run `make fmt` to confirm the file is stable under the
formatter.

* Correct ADR-034's Option B and record the stale comment's provenance

Two corrections, both from measuring rather than restating.

Option B (quote the annotations) was recorded as introducing no
suppression. That is wrong: Ruff's UP037 (quoted-annotation) fires on
quotes a py314 target no longer needs, and this repository enables the UP
family, so quoting trades TC003 for UP037 plus a per-site suppression --
the same shape as Option A at a larger site count. Verified with the
pinned Ruff 0.16.4: UP037 reports under --target-version py314 and passes
under py313. Update the option's prose, the comparison table, the
rationale, and the revisit gate, which all carried the same error.

The loader comment's staleness also has a provenance worth recording. The
same module that loads cleanly under 3.14 raises NameError from the
loader under 3.12, so the claim was true when written and became false
when the baseline moved. Git dates the baseline change (#616) to
2026-08-30 and the comment (#707) to 2026-09-14, so the comment was
written eight days *after* the change it depends on -- not carelessly,
but without re-measuring a claim about the toolchain. Say so in the ADR
and the Makefile comment, and cite both pull requests.

The changelog and developers' guide carried the same "claimed" framing
and are aligned.

* Correct ADR-034's claim about the repository's deferral precedents

ADR-034's References said ADR-028 is "the repository's other decision to
defer work behind a stated revisit gate". ADR-018 defers its engine
remediation behind a stated release condition in the same way, and
origin/main reaffirmed that deferral today in ADR-018's Addendum D. The
claim was only true if "revisit gate" meant the literal heading.

The reference now says ADR-028 carries the repository's other
`## Revisit gate` section, which is verifiable by grep and makes no claim
about the wider corpus, and names ADR-018 as the precedent that defers
without adopting the heading.

Prose only, one bullet under `## References`. Verified stable under
mdtablefix 0.6.0 --wrap --renumber in place.

* Renumber this branch's ADR-034 to ADR-038 after main published its own

origin/main landed docs/adr-034-preserve-script-in-out-as-shell-variables.md
in #753, one day after this branch's record was written and on the same
number. Neither branch saw the other, so the collision is genuine rather than
a stale read: main's record is dated 2026-09-20 and is already published.

This branch moves to ADR-038, the next free number. 035 through 037 are
minted by origin/docs/hexagonal-hardening-and-checking, so 038 is the first
available slot above the current maximum of 037 across all remote branches.

The rebase itself was conflict-free apart from one line in docs/contents.md,
where both sides inserted their ADR-034 index entry at the same anchor. Both
entries are kept; only this branch's was renumbered.

The record and its citations move together: the file is renamed, its heading
becomes "(ADR) 038", and the seven sites that cite it are updated --
CHANGELOG.md, the lint-workflow-scripts comment in the Makefile,
docs/contents.md, docs/developers-guide.md, and the three workflow-contract
modules. Main's own ADR-034 citations, in its ADR-014 and its ADR-034, are
left alone.

Renumbering rather than reclaiming 034: a number main has already published
is not ours to take, and renumbering is cheaper than making the trunk wait.

Prose and comment only. Verified the record's internal ADR-018 and ADR-028
cross-references are unchanged, and that no site retains a stale 034 pointer.

* Correct ADR-038's elapsed-time figure and its Option B analysis

Two review findings, both verified against measurement rather than accepted
on sight.

The elapsed-time claim was wrong. PR #616 merged 2026-08-30T21:23:31Z and
PR #707 merged 2026-09-14T21:10:43Z, an interval of 14 days 23 h 47 m. The
record said "eight days" in both places; the correct whole-day figure is 15.
The cited dates were themselves accurate -- the error was in the derivation
from them.

The Option B analysis claimed that quoting an annotation makes
typing.get_type_hints resolve a TYPE_CHECKING-only name. It does not. A probe
under the 3.14.4 baseline, across six function shapes plus a class, shows:

  TYPE_CHECKING-only import:
    unquoted  __annotations__ : NameError: name 'fractions' is not defined
    unquoted  get_type_hints : NameError: name 'fractions' is not defined
    quoted    __annotations__ : {'x': 'fractions.Fraction', 'return': None}
    quoted    get_type_hints : NameError: name 'fractions' is not defined
  runtime import:
    unquoted  get_type_hints : OK
    quoted    get_type_hints : OK

Quoting defers evaluation, so __annotations__ stops raising and yields the
annotation text, but get_type_hints still evaluates the string against the
module namespace, where a TYPE_CHECKING-only name is absent. Option A works;
Option B does not.

Table 1's "Makes get_type_hints work" and "Catches this class of failure" rows
now read No for column B, and the Option B prose, the rationale, the "both
would work" sentence and the revisit gate are corrected to match. The decision
to adopt Option C is unchanged and in fact strengthened: Option B is now
rejected on measurement as well as on cost.

* Reword ADR-038's Option B paragraph to drop a repetition

The preceding commit's Option B rewrite used "deliberate" twice in adjacent
sentences ("reads as incidental rather than deliberate" followed by "no signal
that the quotes are deliberate"), and the second clause restated Table 1's
"reads as noise" cell in different words.

The paragraph now says the convention reads as noise, that a reader has no
signal the quotes carry meaning, and that nothing is lost if one is removed
because they do not deliver the guarantee they were written for. Meaning is
unchanged; only the phrasing is.
