fix(ci): measure a stacked unit against its parent pull request - #1924
Fixes#1923 (this PR is one half of it; the issue covers both halves and should be closed only after both land).
What changes
mutation-diff keeps its existing base resolution for normal pull requests and adds one rule for stacked units:
the merge commit's second parent is the pull request head;
when that head's own parent is the head of another open pull request, this pull request is a stacked unit and the gate measures against that parent instead of main;
otherwise the event base is kept, so a multi-commit pull request is never charged only its last commit;
the job summary states which base was used.
The merge queue runs no gate of its own, so the per-PR gate is the only enforcement point. A parent head is accepted as a stacked base only when the parent is a ready (non-draft) pull request whose own run is gated; a draft parent is refused and the unit keeps the event base, so the content that would land through it is charged where it lands.
New cases: stacked parent resolves to the parent head; a non-stacked parent keeps the event base and still charges both commits; an unparsable map degrades to the event base. Workflow-shape assertions cover pull-requests: read, the PR_HEAD_SHA resolution, and --stacked-map.
Permissions stay minimal: the job only reads open pull request heads.
Review round (maintainer review, 2026-10-28)
Head 2034a0ba2.
Draft parents were accepted as a stacked base. A draft pull request is not gated (the workflow skips draft runs) and the merge_group run has no gate step, so a unit built on a draft was measured only on its own delta while the draft content could land through it. The open-PR map now carries draft, resolveStackedUnitBase() refuses a draft head, and a unit stacked on one keeps the event base so the changed-line cap sees the cumulative content. The resolver comment now states that the merge queue runs no gate and that the per-PR gate is the only enforcement point (the earlier "the merge queue checks the cumulative cap" claim above was wrong and is corrected).
The multi-parent guard test could not fail. It merged with the open PR head as the second parent, so parents[0] never matched the map. The test now builds a merge whose first parent is the open pull-request head; without parents.length !== 1 the merge would be measured as a one-commit stacked unit.
Verification: node --test scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs -> 52 tests, 0 fail. Negative controls: dropping the draft filter and dropping the parents.length guard each turn exactly one test red; restored, 52/52 pass.
Main refresh (2026-10-28)
Merged upstream/main 3f51e9df7 (fcdfbf14), 0 behind main. The refresh added the compile job's repo-wide format:check; the two scripts this PR touches were formatted with the repo's own prettier config (no content change, node --test scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs still 52/52). Every file this PR changes is prettier-clean.
The gate diffed every pull request against the merge commit's first parent, which is the base branch tip. For a stacked unit that base is main, so the whole unmerged chain was charged to the unit: the file-safety chain measured 512, 727, 783, 815 and 827 executable lines against a 500 cap, while each unit's own delta is 27-225 lines.
The merge commit's second parent is the pull request head. When that head's own parent is another open pull request's head, the pull request is a stacked unit and the gate measures only its delta. A pull request whose parent is not another pull request head keeps the event base, so a multi-commit pull request is never charged only its last commit.
An unparsable stacked map degrades to the event base instead of throwing, and the job summary records which base was used.
Mutation-testing checks can recognize a non-draft parent pull request in a stack and compare the current pull request against it.
For recognized stacked pull requests, checks use the parent pull request’s head and include stacked-pull-request context and a reproduction command in the summary.
Otherwise, checks retain the standard event-based comparison. If pull request details are unavailable or invalid, checks continue without a stacked pull request match; if the pull request head cannot be resolved, checks fall back to the merge commit.
Checks reinstall dependencies when relevant manifests differ after aligning the comparison. Failures are reported and stop the check.
The workflow passes open pull request data to the mutation diff script. When a PR head’s sole parent matches a non-draft open PR head targeting the same base ref, the script uses that parent as the diff base and the PR head as the diff head. It aligns the execution tree and records the matched parent PR in the summary.
Changes: Stacked-unit mutation diff
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Fetch and pass open pull request data .github/workflows/mutation-testing.yml, scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs
The workflow fetches open pull request numbers, head SHAs, draft status, and base refs, then passes the map and merge commit details to the diff command. Tests check workflow permissions, token scope, workflow inputs, and map transfer.
Parse pull request map and resolve base scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs
The script accepts valid map entries and uses a sole parent as the base only when it matches a non-draft open PR head targeting the same base ref. Otherwise, it retains the event base. Tests cover parsing, matching, and fallback cases.
Align and select the unit diff scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs
For a matched stacked unit, the script uses the PR head as the diff head, aligns the execution tree, checks dependency-manifest drift, and preserves the resolved base during selection. It records the parent PR and adds summary and reproduction details. Tests cover selection, alignment, drift, and output.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2054: Adds equivalence validation for the manifest affected by the selected files and mutants.
Merge Risk: Low · up to e8de3
The stacked-base behavior has no established current failure. Merging is reasonable with follow-up to strengthen tests protecting upload-failure fallback and rejection of non-boolean draft status.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to d4442
The new read token is appropriately isolated, but stacked measurement can omit inherited changes without a cumulative queue recheck and can apply child-revision line numbers to merged code. These changes weaken CI assurance; they do not directly grant production privileges.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: An open parent PR is sufficient to exempt its ancestor changes from the child's executable-line cap, without checking that the parent passed or will merge separately. A contributor controlling two PR heads could therefore obtain a passing child measurement while its actual merge includes an oversized parent delta. Previously the child gate measured that cumulative delta. The unchanged merge-group path only writes a summary, so it does not compensate for the newly narrowed scope. Actual admission remains dependent on external required-check and approval configuration.
Medium · reliability · inferred: Recognized stacks now produce changed-line coordinates from the parent-to-child diff, but source parsing and mutation execution still use the checked-out merge result. Upstream insertions or deletions in the same file can therefore target unrelated lines or omit changed executable lines, weakening both scope enforcement and mutation coverage. The baseline production invocation kept diff coordinates aligned with the merge-result source.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The supported exposure is repository CI assurance for mutation-tested packages. A contributor can influence parent recognition through PR commit history and another open PR head. The evidence does not establish additional production credentials, tenant access, or an unauthorized merge.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A contributor can leave an oversized parent PR open and submit a small child on its exact head. Recognition excludes the parent's content from the child's cap even though that content remains in the child's merge ancestry. Parent approval or gate success is not checked by the resolver, and the queue path does not repeat measurement. External admission controls could constrain exploitation but were not available for verification.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Full-SHA validation and exact sole-parent matching constrain revision selection; Git commands receive argument arrays rather than interpolated shell commands. API failure produces an empty map, preserving the broader measurement rather than selecting an arbitrary base. These controls authenticate commit relationships, not the parent's approval or successful enforcement.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Superseded runs are cancelled, both jobs have timeouts, and top-level gate errors set a failing exit status. These failure controls do not detect a successfully constructed but incomplete manifest, which can return normally without mutation execution.

Explanation
The title "fix(ci): measure a stacked unit against its parent pull request" matches the main change: mutation-diff now measures a stacked PR against its parent PR head when the parent is a ready, open PR, and otherwise keeps the event base. The title is specific, concise, and uses a conventional commit prefix. It does not cover the draft-parent refusal, the job summary, or the map-file plumbing, which is expected for a short title.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template in substance. It links the issue (Fixes #1923) and explains the how, including the stacked-base rule, the draft-parent refusal, and the fallback to the event base. It gives a Test Procedure with the exact command, the test count, and negative controls. The description does not use the template's section headings, such as "Related GitHub Issue", "Description", "Test Procedure", "Pre-Submission Checklist", and "Documentation Updates", and it has no checklist. It also says "Fixes #1923" while the objectives say the issue closes only after both halves land, which the author notes. Its wording uses some passive and non-STE constructions (for example, "is charged" and "is refused"), and it does not follow the template's Simplified Technical English guidance strictly. The missing headings and checklist are the main gaps, but the substance is complete.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#1923] Assessed the whole PR (merge base 3ee042d to reviewed head e8de314). Changes since the previous review (head 1833535) were reassessed.
Stacked detection by commit graph. resolveStackedUnitBase reads the PR head parents with git rev-list --parents. It returns the event base when parents.length !== 1. It accepts a parent only when an open PR entry matches that SHA. No label or mapping file decides the result. Met.
Non-stacked and multi-commit PRs keep the event base. A parent that matches no open PR head returns the event base. Met.
Unparsable map degrades to the event base. parseStackedMap returns [] on a non-array part, on trailing garbage, or on an unbalanced bracket. readStackedMap returns "" on read failure and emits a warning. Met.
Job summary states the base used. formatSummary adds the line 'Stacked unit: measured against the head of parent PR #N'. The reproduction block adds git checkout <head> for a stacked unit. Met.
Workflow. stacked_map reads open PR heads with gh api --paginate. Each entry carries draft and baseRef. The gate receives the map as a file. PR_HEAD_SHA is resolved from HEAD^2. Met.
Merge-queue premise. The issue says merge-queue enforcement is unchanged. merge_group still runs only the 'Record merge-queue enforcement' step. The PR description corrects the issue claim that the cap is checked at queue entry. The workflow supports that correction. Not a coding requirement.
Reviewer labeling (#1945, #1925) is excluded. No label code appears in the diff.
New narrowing rules, beyond the literal issue text:
A draft parent is refused. The issue text does not address drafts. The code keeps the event base for a draft parent so its ungated content is charged to the unit that lands it. This follows from the workflow skipping draft runs and is consistent with the stated design intent.
The parent base ref must equal the child base ref. The issue does not address base refs. For the nine-unit chain described in the issue, all units target main, so the rule does not change the intended result.
draft must be strictly false. Missing or non-boolean values keep the event base.
Test coverage: the test file was not re-read or re-run in this review. The test claims come from the PR description and the AI-generated summary. This does not change the verdict, because the code paths were read directly.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
[#1923] Each change beyond the base resolver serves the stacked measurement or the job summary the issue requires:
Execution-tree alignment (alignExecutionTree). The gate moves the working tree to the unit head so selection, source reads, and mutation use one tree. This supports the unit-delta measurement.
Dependency reinstall (dependencyManifestDrift, reinstallAlignedDependencies, summarizeReinstallFailure). It runs only when the aligned tree changes a lockfile, workspace file, or manifest. It supports the aligned tree running its own toolchain. The failure summary states which base was chosen.
Map job and artifact (stacked_map, download-artifact, needs: stacked_map). The map is filtered before it reaches the gate job. This supports the map the issue requires. The needs link also runs stacked_map on merge_group events. It only reads the PR list and publishes an artifact, so this adds no gate behavior.
Draft and base-ref filters in the map entries. These are part of stacked detection, as described under the linked-issue assessment.
Summary and reproduction changes (formatSummary). These report the base used, as the issue requires.
Test additions in scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs. These cover the new rules. The test file was not read in this review.
Reviewer attention, not a failure: stacked_map and mutation-diff set actions: write. The workflow comment ties this to artifact handling. The diff does not show that this scope is required for artifact transfer. The change is limited to the two jobs in the workflow. No unrelated product code or reviewer-label code appears in the reviewed diff.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
No changed persistence path meets the failure condition. The stacked map is validated before printf writes it, and the artifact upload and download are awaited workflow actions. A missing or unreadable artifact returns an empty map; parseStackedMap rejects malformed or trailing data, so the consumer falls back to the event base. Upload failure is explicitly tolerated, and the synchronous dependency reinstall rethrows after recording the failure. No state is silently consumed after a partial write.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
No changed lifecycle path leaks a resource or duplicates work after cancellation, disposal, or restart. The new spawnSync calls are synchronous and return or throw without registering listeners or watchers. alignExecutionTree only changes the disposable CI checkout. The workflow uses existing concurrency cancellation, finite job timeouts, and artifact retention. Added tests clean temporary repositories and directories in catch or finally blocks.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The changed workflow still grants actions: write to mutation-diff at .github/workflows/mutation-testing.yml:77-79, then checks out and runs pull-request-controlled code through .github/actions/setup-node-pnpm and pnpm test:mutation-ci at lines 89-105. A same-repository malicious pull request can modify that composite action or test code to use ${{ github.token }} and exfiltrate a write-capable token, or alter/delete Actions artifacts and runs. The new permission activates this trust-boundary issue.
Resolution
Remove actions: write from mutation-diff and keep the job read-only while it checks out and runs pull-request code. If artifact upload needs write permission, isolate that upload in a trusted job or use an artifact mechanism that does not expose a write-capable token to pull-request-controlled steps.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The aligned-tree reinstall behavior still lacks focused coverage. The PR adds reinstallAlignedDependencies() at scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:394-402, including pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, successful continuation, process-start failure, and non-zero exit handling. Tests cover only dependencyManifestDrift() and call summarizeReinstallFailure() with a fabricated error (scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs:558-579, 761-830). No test invokes the reinstall path or verifies any of its three outcomes.
Resolution
Add isolated focused tests for the aligned reinstall path. Use dependency injection or a controlled fake pnpm executable to verify the exact pnpm install --frozen-lockfile invocation, successful completion, process-start errors, and non-zero exit statuses. Test the caller’s failure propagation and summary behavior where applicable.

Three gaps in the stacked-unit measurement:
1. PR_HEAD_SHA was computed but never passed, so the resolver ran on the merge commit, whose first
parent is the base tip, and never detected a stacked unit.
2. The gh api fallback was a bare '[]', which bash -e executes as a program name; an API failure
aborted the step instead of measuring against the event base.
3. selectFromGit re-derived the base from the merge commit, discarding the resolved stacked base.
It now keeps an explicitly resolved base, and a stacked unit is measured against its own head
rather than the merge commit, which also carries whatever main advanced since the parent unit.
Tests: 48 passed in scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs.
…ate step
The edit removed the blank line and the '- name: Upload mutation reports' header, leaving
'id: mutation_report' and a second 'if:' inside the gate step mapping, which is a duplicated
YAML mapping key and made the knip job fail while loading the workflow.

per_page=100 fetches only the first page, so a parent unit beyond page 1 is missing from the map
and the gate falls back to the event base and charges the whole unmerged chain again - exactly the
problem issue Zoo-Code-Org#1923 describes. gh api --paginate --slurp with a flattening jq filter covers every
page, and the shape is now asserted in the workflow test.

The gate measured a unit against its parent PR head on the design's assumption that a draft parent would still be gated, but the workflow skips draft runs, so a unit stacked on a draft was charged only its own delta while the draft content landed through it. Draft heads are now refused as a base (the map carries the draft flag), so such a unit keeps the event base and the changed-line cap sees the cumulative content.
The merge queue runs no gate of its own, so the per-pull-request gate is the only enforcement point; the code comment now says so instead of claiming a cumulative merge-queue check.
Tests: a draft parent keeps the event base while the ready parent resolves; the multi-parent guard is now pinned by a merge whose FIRST parent is an open pull-request head, which the removed guard would have accepted. Negative controls: dropping the draft filter and dropping the parents.length guard each turn exactly one case red.
…check
main added a repo-wide prettier check to the compile job after this branch's base; the two scripts this PR touches were never run through it. No content change: prettier --write with the repo config, and node --test scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs still reports 52/52 passing.
The maintainer's two review threads are addressed and the branch is refreshed onto main (head cdfbf14). Changes since the last review: a draft parent is refused as a stacked base (the map carries draft), the resolver documents that the merge queue runs no gate, and the multi-parent guard test now uses a merge whose first parent is the open PR head so removing the guard fails it. Both threads are replied to and resolved.

- stacked_map now carries each open pull request's base ref, and the gate only measures a unit
against a parent head whose pull request targets the branch the unit itself targets.
- after the gate aligns the working tree to the pull request head, a dependency manifest that
differs between the installed tree and the aligned tree triggers a frozen-lockfile reinstall.
- the summary's reproduction now prints the pull-request-head checkout a stacked unit needs.

Add a CI-level draft-parent case to the diff-head test.
resolveCiInvocation derives diffHead from stackedOn. The existing CI-level cases use only ready parents and empty maps, so a regression that selects the PR head for a nonempty map would still pass. The draft-parent case at lines 363-378 covers only resolveStackedUnitBase. Add a CI-level draft case with distinct merge and PR heads. It would fail if a draft parent started selecting the PR head.

stackedOn is null; keep the existing resolveStackedUnitBase test unchanged.
…isible
The open-pull-request map crossed jobs as a job output and then as one command-line argument. Linux caps a single argument or environment string at 128 KiB (MAX_ARG_STRLEN), so a map past that cap makes the gate step unstartable instead of merely large, and the parse fallback never runs. The map job now writes a validated file and publishes it as an artifact; the gate reads --stacked-map-file. A missing artifact degrades to the event base, which charges the unit every unmerged ancestor rather than silently measuring less.
A stacked parent is now matched by head SHA and base branch in the same predicate. Two open pull requests can share one head commit while targeting different branches; stopping at the first SHA match rejected the parent for the wrong reason and charged the unit the whole chain.
A failed aligned dependency reinstall now writes the job summary with the stacked base before rethrowing, so an author can see which base the gate chose.
Bind the stacked-map download's continue-on-error to its own step.
The workflow-shape test counts continue-on-error: true across the whole workflow. If that setting moves from Read the stacked map to another step, the count stays at two and the test still passes. Keep the workflow-wide count, which also covers the upload step. Add a check scoped to the Read the stacked map step.

Update the workflow-shape test to verify that the “Read the stacked map” step
itself contains `continue-on-error: true`, while retaining the existing
workflow-wide count that covers the upload step. Scope the assertion to that
step, ending before “Enforce executable-line scope”.
… non-draft parent
- mutation-testing.yml: the map upload is continue-on-error. A failed upload used
to fail stacked_map, which skipped mutation-diff entirely, so the download-side
"missing artifact -> measure against the event base" fallback could never run.
- stryker-diff.mjs: resolveStackedUnitBase requires pr.draft === false. An entry
whose draft flag is missing or not a boolean (inline --stacked-map, older map)
has not proven the parent was gated, so it keeps the event base instead of
being accepted as a stacked base.
- tests: stacked fixtures now carry draft: false explicitly, the map upload count
assertion is 3, and a draft-less entry is pinned as keeping the event base.

Bind the map upload's continue-on-error to its step.
The count at line 129 covers the whole workflow, so moving the setting to another step keeps the count at 3 and the test still passes. The upload step is the one that must tolerate failure. A failed upload would fail stacked_map, and mutation-diff would be skipped because it has no always() condition. Assert the setting inside the Publish the stacked map step.

Review comment at @scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs at line 129:
Update the continue-on-error assertion in the workflow test to verify the
setting appears within the “Publish the stacked map” step, using mapJob to
isolate that step rather than counting occurrences across the entire workflow.
Add a non-boolean draft case to the rejection test.
Add a non-boolean draft case to the rejection test.
The rejection test covers only draft: undefined. The guard documents that non-boolean flags keep the event base, but no test checks a numeric value. If the guard is loosened from === false to == false, the suite still passes, and draft: 0 would select an ungated parent as the stacked base. Add a draft: 0 case that asserts the event base.
Suggested test addition

assert.equal(unconfirmed.stackedOn, null)
+ // A non-boolean draft value is not proof of gating either.+ const numeric = resolveStackedUnitBase(+ repository,+ eventBaseSha,+ childSha,+ [{ number: 1, headSha: parentSha, draft: 0, baseRef: "main" }],+ "main",+ )+ assert.equal(numeric.baseSha, eventBaseSha)+ assert.equal(numeric.stackedOn, null)+
// The same entry, ready for review: the parent was gated, so it is the unit's base again.

Extend the rejection test around resolveStackedUnitBase with a parent entry
whose draft value is numeric zero; assert that it keeps eventBaseSha and returns
a null stackedOn. Preserve the test’s existing undefined-draft case so the
guard’s requirement for an explicit boolean false remains covered.

Learning: Regression evidence: Fail only when a concrete changed behavior lacks focused coverage at the lowest valid test layer, tests merely mirror implementation, an affected error/negative/unset branch is omitted, or a durable visible UI change lacks its required Playwright component snapshot. Do not demand tests for unchanged behavior, mechanical configuration, or every branch without a plausible regression scenario. Cite the changed behavior and missing evidence.

Fixes #1923 (this PR is one half of it; the issue covers both halves and should be closed only after both land).
What changes
mutation-diffkeeps its existing base resolution for normal pull requests and adds one rule for stacked units:main;The merge queue runs no gate of its own, so the per-PR gate is the only enforcement point. A parent head is accepted as a stacked base only when the parent is a ready (non-draft) pull request whose own run is gated; a draft parent is refused and the unit keeps the event base, so the content that would land through it is charged where it lands.
Effect on the file-safety chain
No PR content changes; only the measurement base.
Verification
New cases: stacked parent resolves to the parent head; a non-stacked parent keeps the event base and still charges both commits; an unparsable map degrades to the event base. Workflow-shape assertions cover
pull-requests: read, thePR_HEAD_SHAresolution, and--stacked-map.Permissions stay minimal: the job only reads open pull request heads.
Review round (maintainer review, 2026-10-28)
Head
2034a0ba2.merge_grouprun has no gate step, so a unit built on a draft was measured only on its own delta while the draft content could land through it. The open-PR map now carriesdraft,resolveStackedUnitBase()refuses a draft head, and a unit stacked on one keeps the event base so the changed-line cap sees the cumulative content. The resolver comment now states that the merge queue runs no gate and that the per-PR gate is the only enforcement point (the earlier "the merge queue checks the cumulative cap" claim above was wrong and is corrected).parents[0]never matched the map. The test now builds a merge whose first parent is the open pull-request head; withoutparents.length !== 1the merge would be measured as a one-commit stacked unit.Verification:
