From 2c5e34748e2f1e02653143d888c0d78a7fbf532b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Snelling Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 11:47:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] test(gate): the coverage guard counts the perf lane's config as a gate MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit tests/configs/vitest.perf.config.ts (npm run test:perf) is a real gate, not a manual-only slot, so inGate() now recognizes its include list (tests/performance/** plus the four named files) directly. The 7 files already correctly listed as perf move out of MANUAL_ONLY, which is now reserved for files no automated lane covers. That alone left the guard red: tests/vfs/vfs-search-path-scope.test.ts was a genuine new orphan (added this cycle, named without the .unit.test.ts suffix its siblings use) — it ran under the broad root gate but silently missed test:unit. Renamed to match the sibling convention in tests/vfs/, which puts it back in the unit gate. --- tests/unit/test-suite-coverage-guard.test.ts | 44 +++++++++++++------ ....ts => vfs-search-path-scope.unit.test.ts} | 2 +- 2 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) rename tests/vfs/{vfs-search-path-scope.test.ts => vfs-search-path-scope.unit.test.ts} (99%) diff --git a/tests/unit/test-suite-coverage-guard.test.ts b/tests/unit/test-suite-coverage-guard.test.ts index d4d268ac..f12b0587 100644 --- a/tests/unit/test-suite-coverage-guard.test.ts +++ b/tests/unit/test-suite-coverage-guard.test.ts @@ -4,7 +4,8 @@ * config (so it never runs and gives false coverage confidence — the exact drift * that left ~27 test files un-run before 8.0).
