Serialize parameterized child-Cargo tests through a case-matching filter (#732)

[buzzybee-df12]

Summary

This branch repairs nextest filters that named their tests in a form which
cannot match how cargo-nextest names them, so the tests silently ran under the
default policy instead of the one written for them. It then closes the guard
hole that allowed the mistake to go unnoticed.

text_domains_cannot_be_swapped is an #[rstest] with two #[case::…]
attributes, so Nextest names its instances
text_domains_cannot_be_swapped::case_1_needle_as_document and
::case_2_document_as_needle. The filter was
filter = 'test(=text_domains_cannot_be_swapped)', and Nextest's test(=NAME)
form compares the whole test name. The filter therefore selected zero
tests. The group existed, max-threads = 1 was set, the filter parsed cleanly —
and both cases ran unserialized beside every other build-capable child Cargo
test.

That defect is still present on main today, and this branch was rebased
onto it after issue 732 merged. The two cases were carried forward untouched by
that work, so the repaired filter is the one line it did not fix.

This is the mechanism behind the observed cli_configuration_fixture_compiles
TIMEOUT at 300s. In that run both unserialized cases went SLOW past 60s,
then cli_configuration_fixture_compiles went SLOW and timed out; run alone
it passes in 7.4s. The contention came from a test that never joined the group,
so the group's serialization could not have prevented it — which is why "the
group is already configured" did not explain the failure.

Every filter in the file now uses test(/^NAME($|::)/), and the contracts read
every filter rather than the group's alone. The guard is scoped to the file
rather than the group because the field decides which tests an override touches,
not the group: until issue 732 removed it, a Windows-only override widened one
test's timeout through filter while carrying no test-group, and a guard
reading only the group's filters could not see it at all.

Review walkthrough

• Start with
  .config/nextest.toml:
  all three filters now use test(/^NAME($|::)/), with the rationale for
  applying it file-wide in the comment above them. The group itself is at
  line 23.
• Then
  nextest_child_cargo_group_invariants.py,
  new in this branch: holds GROUP_FILTER, LEGACY_EXACT_FILTER,
  CASE_ATTRIBUTE and the discovery logic, plus all_filter_text and
  filter_test_names for the whole-file scope.
• Then
  nextest_child_cargo_group_test.py:
  three contracts — a filtered name must resolve to a declared test, a
  parameterized test must never be named by the exact form, and no filter may
  use the exact form at all.
• Finish with
  developers-guide.md,
  which the config header requires be changed alongside it.

Validation

Measured with cargo nextest list --all-targets, which evaluates the filter
against real test names without running anything:

• -E 'test(=text_domains_cannot_be_swapped)': 0 tests

• -E 'test(/^text_domains_cannot_be_swapped($|::)/)': 2 tests

• -E 'test(~text_domains_cannot_be_swapped)': 2 tests — but ~ is
  unanchored, and test(~domains) also matches
  exact_patterns_reject_strict_suffixes_and_superdomains, so it over-matches
  and is not used

• The third override, end to end: 5 tests under the exact form, 7 under the
  anchored form. The two that appear are exactly the two cases above.

• Converting the other two filters is a no-op for the tests they name,
  which are not parameterized

• make test-workflow-contracts: 599 passed, 2 skipped

• typos --config typos.toml over every changed file: exit 0

• make lint, make typecheck, make check-fmt: exit 0 after the two Python
  gate defects below were fixed; CI had independently reproduced the first of
  them in the build-test job before the fix.

Two Python gate defects were found only by running the gates, and are worth
naming because both are artefacts of the module split rather than of the
behaviour under test:

• all_filter_text is the one multi-line docstring in either module that
  returns a value, so ruff's DOC201 asks it for a Returns section — the
  one-line docstrings beside it pass without one.
• The contract test had inlined config["profile"]["default"]["overrides"],
  which returns object; ty cannot subscript that. The _default_overrides
  helper it replaced narrowed the same path through require_mapping and
  require_list, so the helper was published as default_overrides and
  imported rather than re-narrowing at the call site.

Non-vacuity (the guard must be able to fail). Both probes were run against
this branch's guard, then reverted:

• Reverting text_domains_cannot_be_swapped to the exact form fails three
  assertions, including
  test_filters_match_parameterized_test_instances, with
  parameterized tests cannot be selected with the exact-name form.
• A typo'd name that no source declares fails
  test_filters_match_every_declared_test_they_name, with
  filters name tests that no Rust source declares.

Notes

• No Rust source changes; src/ is untouched.
• The discovery logic moved to a sibling module because the test module had
  reached 471 lines against the 400-line max-module-lines ceiling. An AST
  comparison confirms 14 functions were relocated: 11 move unchanged, and 3 are
  the same bodies published under a public name (_nextest_config →
  nextest_config, _rust_test_sources → rust_test_sources,
  _build_capable_test_names → build_capable_test_names) so the sibling
  modules can import them. Nothing else differs.
• tests/workflow_contracts/nextest_child_cargo_syntax_test.py imported the
  moved private helper and was updated to its new home, keeping its local
  as _build_capable_test_names alias. That import was found by running the
  full suite, not by grep — the collection error only appears when the whole
  directory is collected.
• make spelling cannot enforce the spelling used here: the gate defaults to
  scope = "markdown" and submits only tracked .md files, so .py and
  .toml are never scanned. The words were corrected against typos.toml
  directly, which maps parameterised → parameterized.
• docs/developers-guide.md prose is mdtablefix-formatted; make fmt and
  markdownlint-cli2 both report clean.

Rebased onto post-issue-732 main

This branch previously described a Windows-only slow-timeout override as the
second instance of the same defect. Issue 732 deleted that override and rewrote
harness_compiles_under_a_split_build_dir to read recorded Cargo JSON rather
than spawn a build, so the branch was rebased onto that main and the
references to the override now state that it is historical. The claim that the
guard is worth applying file-wide survives the removal — it rests on the field
rather than on the block that happens to carry it today — but the two filters
that remain are both group filters, so the whole-file scope is a forward guard
rather than a repair of a live second defect.

Rebased onto main after the build-standard change

This branch was subsequently rebased onto main after PR 733 made the build
standard the default. That change rewrote the Makefile, added
.cargo/config.toml, and added several contract tests under
tests/workflow_contracts/. Only one file was touched by both sides
(docs/developers-guide.md), and the replay was conflict-free.

Two consequences are recorded here rather than left implicit. First, the
make test-workflow-contracts figure above is the one measured at this rebased
tip: it rose from 578 to 599 because the target picked up the contract tests the
advance added, not because this branch added any. Second, make test is
test-nextest doctest, both Rust-only, so it does not execute this branch's
Python at all — make test-workflow-contracts is the gate that does, and it is
the one to read for the Python half of this change.

Summary by Sourcery

Use anchored Nextest filters and runtime workflow checks to keep parameterized child-Cargo tests reliably serialized.

New Features:

• Add runtime CI verification that anchored Nextest filters select all parameterized test instances and that legacy exact-name filters select none.

Bug Fixes:

• Ensure parameterized child-Cargo tests are included in the serialized build group instead of silently running under the default policy.

Enhancements:

• Standardize Nextest filters on anchored name matching across overrides and strengthen workflow contracts to reject unresolved, unanchored, or exact-name selectors.
• Split Rust test discovery and configuration invariants into focused contract modules while preserving coverage of build-capable tests and workflow execution rules.

CI:

• Run the runtime filter verification on pull requests after coverage builds and before the instrumented build tree is discarded.
• Prevent duplicate Rust suite executions across Linux workflow jobs.

Documentation:

• Document the child-Cargo serialization policy, anchored filter requirements, and static and runtime safeguards in the developers guide.

Tests:

• Add contracts covering filter resolution, parameterized test handling, accepted selector grammar, runtime-check placement, and build-capable test discovery.

Full details: Developer Documentation

Explanation

Document the new shared test abstraction in docs/developers-guide.md. The guide now clearly documents the nested-cargo-builds policy, anchored filters, parameterized test names, and the contract test. However, this pull request also extracts nextest_child_cargo_group_invariants.py, adds public helper functions and constants, and makes nextest_child_cargo_group_test.py and nextest_child_cargo_syntax_test.py depend on that boundary. The guide does not mention this module, its discovery/configuration responsibilities, or its test-only import boundary. Existing guidance names other shared workflow-test helpers, so the new abstraction is not clearly documented there. No alternate developer-guide locale or roadmap/execplan change applies.

Resolution

Add a developer-guide subsection under the workflow-contract or nextest documentation. Describe nextest_child_cargo_group_invariants.py as the test-only shared module, document that it reads Nextest configuration and discovers declared, parameterized, and build-capable Rust tests, list its consuming contract tests, and state that production code must not import it. Keep the section aligned with the module's public helper boundary when it changes.

Full details: Testing (Unit And Behavioural)

Explanation

The pull request adds meaningful unit-style checks for discovery, malformed filter names, parameterized attributes, helper propagation, syntax masking, and concurrency invariants. It does not add a behavioural test at the cargo-nextest boundary. The new tests parse .config/nextest.toml, scan Rust source, and match filters with Python regular expressions. They do not invoke cargo nextest list or cargo nextest run, so they cannot verify that Nextest selects text_domains_cannot_be_swapped::case_1_… and ::case_2_…, or that the override applies to those instances. The changed configuration directly affects this externally observable test-selection and scheduling workflow.

Resolution

Add an end-to-end workflow-contract test that invokes the supported cargo nextest list command with the repository configuration and the relevant filter expressions. Assert that the parameterized case instances are selected by the anchored filter and that the legacy exact filter selects none. Keep the existing static unit checks for source discovery and filter invariants, but use the Nextest command as the behavioural boundary.

Full details: Unit Architecture

Explanation

The extracted invariants module introduces query APIs that hide fallible repository I/O. nextest_config() reads and parses .config/nextest.toml through Path.read_text() and tomllib.loads(), but returns only dict[str, object] and documents no read or parse error. rust_test_sources() scans REPO_ROOT/tests and reads every Rust file, but returns only a dictionary and exposes no I/O failure boundary. The new declared_test_names() query calls that ambient filesystem reader, and the test module imports and uses these helpers. The functions also depend on hard-coded global paths instead of an injectable boundary. This is causally part of the pull request: the private readers were extracted and renamed as reusable public helpers, and the new declared-name contract adds another caller.

Resolution

Split pure classification from repository access. Inject the Nextest configuration path and Rust test root, or inject narrow reader functions, at the contract-test boundary. Wrap file, decoding, and TOML parsing failures in a documented domain error such as WorkflowReadError, and declare that error in the reader API. Keep filter_test_names, grouped_test_names, parameterized_test_names, and declared_test_names pure by passing parsed text or source mappings into them. Handle the explicit read error at the workflow-contract test boundary so failures identify the path and cause.

Addressed — the read boundary is now a documented domain error, and both readers are injectable.

Applied, and the resolution's four clauses are each satisfied. I initially
declined this one on the argument that the ambient read was a test-only
convenience, then reversed that after finding the counter-evidence in this
repository: workflow_loading.py already defines
class WorkflowReadError(OSError) (:94) and all_workflow_documents(directory)
(:169) takes its directory as a parameter and refuses a missing one. The module-local
convention the finding described already existed here, and the helpers were not
following it.

Split pure classification from repository access. Both ambient readers now
take an optional injected path:

• nextest_config(source: Path | None = None) — nextest_child_cargo_group_invariants.py:88
• rust_test_sources(directory: Path | None = None) — nextest_rust_test_discovery.py:58
• declared_test_names(directory: Path | None = None) — nextest_rust_test_discovery.py:295, which forwards rather than reaching ambiently from a second caller, so the read boundary stays in one place

filter_test_names, grouped_test_names, and parameterized_test_names were
already pure — they take a parsed dict or a source str — and remain so.

Wrap file, decoding, and TOML parsing failures in a documented domain error.
nextest_config wraps OSError and UnicodeDecodeError from read_text, and
tomllib.TOMLDecodeError from loads, each into WorkflowReadError naming the
path. rust_test_sources does the same for the read, and additionally refuses a
directory that is absent or is not a directory — a bare Path.rglob yields
nothing for such a path, so without that check the read would return an empty
corpus and every assertion above it would pass having read no test at all. I
confirmed the guard is live rather than decorative: with it removed,
rglob on an absent path returns [] and the contract goes green on zero
tests.

Declare the error in the reader API and handle it at the contract boundary.
Both Raises sections name WorkflowReadError and say which conditions produce
it. The Raises sections are deliberately asymmetric: declared_test_names
delegates the read, so its docstring points at rust_test_sources for the
failure modes rather than restating a Raises it does not itself perform —
ruff's DOC502 (docstring-extraneous-exception) rejects a Raises entry
for an exception the body never raises, and the boundary is better documented
once, where it lives.

Two boundary tests exercise the seam, so it is not merely present but visible
and non-vacuous:

• test_a_directory_without_rust_sources_is_refused — both an absent path and a
  regular file raise WorkflowReadError matching "not a directory".
• test_the_anchored_form_is_the_one_the_contracts_admit — reads a scratch tree
  through rust_test_sources(tmp_path), confirming the injection points the
  discovery at exactly that tree and nowhere else.

Evidence: make test-workflow-contracts 601 passed, 2 skipped;
make lint-python ruff "All checks passed!", pylint 10.00/10, interrogate
"RESULT: PASSED (minimum: 100.0%, actual: 100.0%)"; make typecheck-python
"All checks passed!".

@coderabbitai — please confirm this concern is resolved.

[buzzybee-df12]

Partially addressed — the two membership claims are now asserted against a real #[case] test; the cargo nextest list invocation itself is declined, with cost evidence, as a documented exception.

Taking the decline first, then what was done instead, because the decline needs
the argument.

Why not cargo nextest list in this lane. The resolution asks for an
end-to-end invocation with the repository configuration. I measured the cheap
end of that: a cargo nextest list against this workspace, filtered to two test
names, cost ~70s wall and 1m09s of compilation on this machine. The command
cannot avoid it — cargo nextest list --help states plainly that it "builds
test binaries and queries them for the tests they contain", and there is no
parse-only mode or --no-build flag. The blocker is placement rather than
absolute cost: in ci.yml, "Workflow contract tests" runs at line 254 and
the first Rust compile in that job happens later, at "Test and Measure Coverage"
(line 258). Putting the invocation there would make the fast static contract
lane the first thing to compile the whole Rust workspace, and would move a
~70s+ build into a target that today runs in ~25s. That is a real, recurring
cost paid on every platform lane to re-verify a fact the build already verifies
two steps later.

What was done instead, and why it covers the same two claims. The
resolution names two assertions: the anchored form selects the case instances,
and the legacy form selects none. Both are now asserted against a source tree
carrying a genuine #[case]-parameterized test, via the injected reader:

test_the_anchored_form_is_the_one_the_contracts_admit writes a single
#[rstest] with two #[case] attributes into tmp_path, reads it through
rust_test_sources(tmp_path), and asserts that it is recognized as
multiply-instantiated — so the test cannot pass merely because no parameterized
test was seen — then asserts the anchored form is admitted, test(~NAME) is
rejected as over-matching, and the = form is rejected by
LEGACY_EXACT_FILTER. test_filters_match_parameterized_test_instances
additionally asserts, against the repository's own configuration and sources,
that no parameterized test is named by the = form and that at least one is
named by a case-matching filter.

What this deliberately does not do is confirm nextest's own instance
naming. That is the one fact only the real command can establish, and I am not
claiming otherwise. The naming is instead pinned to upstream documentation
rather than inferred: rstest_macros states it directly — #[case::name]
yields test fibonacci_test::case_1_zero_base_case … ok
(rstest_macros-0.18.2/src/lib.rs:533-536), i.e. name::case_<n>_<case_name>.
That prefix shape is what makes ^NAME($|::) the correct anchor, since the base
name is the whole name of an unparameterized test and a ::-prefixed prefix of
each instance.

If the end-to-end invocation is still wanted, the right home is not this target.
A dedicated step after "Test and Measure Coverage" — where the workspace is
already built and the invocation would be a cache hit — would give the
behavioural boundary without taxing the static lane. I have not added it here,
because it exceeds what this defect needs and would add a build-adjacent step to
every lane; I am flagging it as the correct placement if the requirement stands.

@coderabbitai — please treat the cargo nextest list invocation as an
explicitly documented exception under this disposition, and confirm the concern
otherwise resolved.

[buzzybee-df12]

Addressed — the shared abstraction is documented in docs/developers-guide.md.

Applied. A passage was added to the existing nested-cargo-builds guidance at
docs/developers-guide.md:3259-3268, inside the list item that already
describes the group and the anchored filter rule, so the abstraction is
documented where a reader already is rather than in a new section:

  `#[case]` attribute. Two test-only modules sit behind that contract, split by
  what they read.
  `tests/workflow_contracts/nextest_child_cargo_group_invariants.py` reads the
  Nextest configuration and constrains the accepted selector grammar;
  `tests/workflow_contracts/nextest_rust_test_discovery.py` classifies the Rust
  integration tests as declared, parameterized (those carrying `#[case]`
  attributes), or build-capable (reaching a child Cargo build directly or
  through helper and fixture layers).
  `tests/workflow_contracts/nextest_child_cargo_syntax_test.py` shares the
  discovery module, and production code must not import either.

Note one divergence from the resolution as written: the resolution describes a
single module, nextest_child_cargo_group_invariants.py. The change is two
modules, because the file crossed the repository's 400-line module cap
(pyproject.toml:175, max-module-lines = 400; too-many-lines is enabled at
:359) once the docstrings from the first finding landed. The split is along
the seam the module docstring already named — configuration versus Rust sources
— and nextest_child_cargo_group_invariants re-exports the four discovery-side
entry points so no import site changed. Stating the responsibilities across both
modules is more accurate than attributing all of them to one, and the consuming
contract tests are named as the resolution asks.

The passage covers all four things the resolution lists: what the modules are,
that they read the Nextest configuration and discover declared / parameterized /
build-capable tests, which contract tests consume them, and that production code
must not import them. Markdown formatting is canonicalized by mdtablefix, which
make check-fmt enforces.

@coderabbitai — please confirm this concern is resolved.

[buzzybee-df12]

Addressed — the title now carries the issue reference.

Applied. The title is now:

Serialize parameterized child-Cargo tests through a case-matching filter (#732)

One correction to the finding's premise, which is why the reference alone was
added rather than a closing link. #732 is already closed — merged
2026-09-20T21:42:17Z, state reason COMPLETED, landed by PR #752 as
e2fc2083 Reuse nested Cargo build artefacts (#732) (#752) on main. This
branch therefore cannot close it and does not claim to; Closes #732 would be
false. What the reference does do is identify which issue the defect belongs to,
which is the part of the finding that stands, and it matches the repository's
own convention for a branch that follows an issue.

The relationship is stated accurately in the pull request description, which
says the branch was rebased onto the post-#732 main and that the defect
being repaired is the one that work did not fix: #732 removed the
Windows-only override that widened a timeout through filter, and the two
#[case] instances carried forward untouched, so the filter naming them is the
line it did not repair.

@coderabbitai — please confirm this concern is resolved.

@buzzybee-df12 Keep this concern open.

The new static contracts are useful. They enforce the approved selector grammar. They also prove that repository sources contain a #[case] test named by an anchored filter.

They do not prove either runtime membership claim. test_the_anchored_form_is_the_one_the_contracts_admit parses strings with local regular expressions. It does not ask Nextest which instances the filter selects. The test therefore cannot detect a change in Nextest filter semantics or generated test names.

The CI placement evidence is valid. .github/workflows/ci.yml runs make test-workflow-contracts before the coverage build. Do not add the build-producing command to that static lane.

Add the scoped cargo nextest list assertion after the existing coverage step, or record its omission as an accepted repository policy exception outside this review finding. Do not mark the end-to-end assertion as resolved without one of those outcomes.

@buzzybee-df12 Treat this concern as resolved.

The implementation verifies the required read boundaries.

• nextest_config accepts an injected source and converts read, decoding, and TOML parsing failures to WorkflowReadError.
• rust_test_sources accepts an injected directory, rejects a missing path or a regular file, and converts source-read failures to WorkflowReadError.
• declared_test_names forwards directory to rust_test_sources.
• The docstrings declare the reader failure behaviour at the functions that perform the reads.
• The boundary tests verify both the non-directory failure and the scratch-tree injection path.

The reported validation results are consistent with the inspected code.

• The declared, parameterized, and build-capable test classifications.
• The consuming workflow-contract tests.
• The restriction that production code must not import either module.

@coderabbitai — the runtime half of the anchored-filter contract has landed on head
125fef6f. Below is the disposition of every point you raised, with the evidence for
each. Please confirm whether each is resolved, withdrawn, or should be recorded as an
explicitly documented exception.

Testing (Unit And Behavioural) — implemented as you specified

Your eight-step prompt is discharged as follows.

1–3, 7. The scoped listing runs on the coverage lane and reuses its build tree.
.github/scripts/verify_nextest_anchored_filters.py runs in a new step,
Verify the anchored Nextest filters select their instances, placed after
Test and Measure Coverage and before Discard the instrumented build tree.
It takes its environment from cargo llvm-cov show-env --export-prefix and
selects CARGO_TARGET_DIR="${CARGO_LLVM_COV_TARGET_DIR}/llvm-cov-target", so the
listing runs against the tree the coverage step already compiled. It refuses
loudly if that environment is unavailable, because that is the one condition
under which reuse silently becomes a second build. The repository configuration
is the one Nextest loads by default — nextest list --help documents
--config-file [default: workspace-root/.config/nextest.toml] — so no
--config-file flag is needed and none is passed. On the real tree the step
takes 4 seconds, which is only possible because it does not compile.

4–6. Both selector forms are asserted, with the diagnostics you asked for.
The script reads the parameterized tests and their declared #[case] counts from
the Rust sources, then asserts that the anchored form selects exactly one instance
per declared case and nothing outside the test's namespace, and that
test(=NAME) selects none. Failures report the selector, the command, and the
discovered instance names. cargo nextest list exits 0 even when a selector
matches nothing, so the script parses each testcase's filter-match.status rather
than trusting the exit code — a status check would accept exactly the defect under
guard.

8. The step is gated identically to the coverage step. It carries
   if: github.event_name == 'pull_request', so a non-pull-request run skips it
   along with coverage rather than executing a standalone build-producing listing.

The runtime check reports:

ok: test(/^text_domains_cannot_be_swapped($|::)/) matches
    ['text_domains_cannot_be_swapped::case_1_needle_as_document',
     'text_domains_cannot_be_swapped::case_2_document_as_needle'];
    test(=text_domains_cannot_be_swapped) matches nothing
verified 1 filtered parameterized test(s)

The runtime assertion step remains after Test and Measure Coverage.
tests/workflow_contracts/nextest_anchored_filter_runtime_test.py holds three
placement conditions: that the step runs the checked-in script after the coverage
step and before the discard; that it is not folded into Workflow contract tests;
and that it carries the coverage step's condition. I verified all three are
non-vacuous by mutating ci.yml three ways — moving the step, ungating it, and
folding it into the static lane — and confirming each mutation is caught by the
test that owns it.

docs/developers-guide.md documents the runtime validation, in the same
nextest configuration subsection that already documents the static contracts.

Unit Architecture — accepted, no change required

You wrote "Treat Unit Architecture as resolved" after the readers gained
injected roots and WorkflowReadError conversion. Those readers are unchanged by
this head, so I am recording your own disposition rather than re-litigating it.
Please confirm it stands.

Developer Documentation — accepted, with one correction

You wrote "Treat Developer Documentation as resolved" on the same evidence. One
correction to the premise it rested on, because it was mine and it was wrong: I
earlier described three helpers as still having "single-line docstrings". That was
stale. All three already carried multi-line docstrings with Returns sections,
which DOC201 enforces; Parameters was the missing half. The docstring commit
therefore adds only the Parameters sections.

Title check

The title already names the action and the issue reference. If the check wants a
different form, please say which.

---

No further review is requested. The question is only whether the above discharges
the remaining concern or should be recorded as a documented exception, so that the
outstanding CHANGES_REQUESTED state can be resolved against head 125fef6f.

@buzzybee-df12 Mark all listed checks as resolved. No documented exception is required.

• Testing (Unit And Behavioural): resolved.
  .github/scripts/verify_nextest_anchored_filters.py invokes cargo nextest list and parses filter-match.status. It verifies the instances that Nextest selects. It rejects missing case instances, out-of-namespace instances, and legacy exact-selector matches.

  .github/workflows/ci.yml runs the script after Test and Measure Coverage and before Discard the instrumented build tree. The step has the same pull-request condition as coverage. The placement contract enforces this order and keeps the check out of Workflow contract tests.

• Unit Architecture: resolved.
  nextest_config(source) and rust_test_sources(directory) retain their injected read boundaries. They convert their documented read and parsing failures to WorkflowReadError. declared_test_names(directory) forwards the injected root.

• Developer Documentation: resolved.
  docs/developers-guide.md documents the static selector contracts and the runtime Nextest validation. It identifies the runtime script, the coverage-lane placement, build-tree reuse, gating requirement, and placement contract.

• Title check: resolved.
  The PR title is Serialize parameterized child-Cargo tests through a case-matching filter (Nested fixture builds recompile the workspace on every test run #732). It states the action and references the related issue. Do not add a closing keyword because #732 is already closed.

I applied the existing CI ordering constraint: do not place build-producing cargo nextest list work in the static workflow-contract lane.

Learning: In `leynos/netsuke`, the child-Cargo workflow-contract abstraction is split between `tests/workflow_contracts/nextest_child_cargo_group_invariants.py`, which reads Nextest configuration and validates selector grammar, and `tests/workflow_contracts/nextest_rust_test_discovery.py`, which classifies Rust integration tests. The invariant module re-exports the discovery entry points. Both modules are test-only and production code must not import them.

Learning: In leynos/netsuke, `.github/workflows/ci.yml` runs `make test-workflow-contracts` before the first Rust build, `Test and Measure Coverage`. Do not add build-producing `cargo nextest list` checks to the workflow-contract test lane. Static workflow contracts can validate selector syntax and source declarations, but they cannot validate Nextest runtime selection or generated test-instance names.

Learning: In `leynos/netsuke`, Nextest workflow contracts must validate each `test(...)` selector against `ACCEPTED_TEST_SELECTOR`. `test(=NAME)` is rejected by `LEGACY_EXACT_FILTER`; other selector forms are rejected by `unaccepted_test_selectors()`. Accepted selectors must match both the base Rust test name and `#[rstest]` case-expanded names.
