Investigate *what* host + condition (e.g. presence of a real `NSScreen`, an active AppKit event loop, + screen-count assumptions) drives the divergence. Mark "env-specific; pin or + quarantine, do not delete." +- **fragile-mock** — the assertion depends on internal choreography (call counts, + ordering, mock wiring) that no longer reflects the implementation, but no real + behavior is at stake. Candidate for deletion or extraction. +- **stale-contract** — the test asserts an old intended behavior that was + intentionally changed; the production code is correct and the test is now + wrong. Candidate for deletion (with the commit/PR that changed the behavior + cited, if findable in `git log`). +- **flaky** — passes sometimes; the failure is timing/ordering nondeterminism, + not a fixed bug. Candidate for deletion or stabilization. + +For every classification, state the **falsifier**: the observation that would +prove the classification wrong. Then, where the artifact permits, check for it. + +Be especially careful with #1 and #3 — `0==1` count assertions are classic +fragile-mock shapes, but they can also be real "the suppression/transaction path +no longer fires" bugs. Distinguish by reading whether the counted thing is a +real user-facing invariant or internal bookkeeping. Read the production method +the count instruments; decide whether the count moving to 0 changes real behavior. + +For #2 — a 556pt width delta on a "should not retile" assertion: is the parent +actually retiled (real bug), or does the test set up `cachedWidth` in a way that +the implementation legitimately recomputes (stale/fragile)? Read the retile guard. + +For #4 — focus/activation assertions: does the production focus-suppression +branch actually exist and is it reachable the way the test assumes? This one has +the most issues (5) and is the most likely to be a real focus-path regression or +a test that no longer matches the focus model. Read `WMControllerFocusTests.swift` +around 1070-1077 and the production activation path it drives. + +## Phase 3 — Act on fragile/valueless tests (deletion) + +For each test you classify **fragile-mock**, **stale-contract**, or **flaky** +*and* that does not guard any real behavior: delete it. + +- Deletion from a frozen monolith is the sanctioned path — remove the test + function and any helpers that become dead after removal (confirm they are not + used elsewhere with grep before deleting a helper). +- Each deletion is its own commit. Plain-English subject, no Conventional Commits. + Commit body states: the classification, the `file:line` of the removed + assertion, the production mechanism it instrumented, and why it guarded no + real behavior. This reasoning is the deliverable — write it carefully. +- If a deletion would remove the *last* coverage of a real path, do not delete; + instead propose (in the doc) extracting a focused per-behavior replacement and + leave the original with a `needs-human-review` note. +- For `env-specific-real` and `real-bug`: **do not delete.** Document only. + +After all deletions, re-run the affected suites (filtered) to confirm they are +green and that you did not break the build.

For each of the 4 tests: classification, the +assertion + observed value, the production mechanism (`file:line`), the +falsifier you checked, flakiness table, and the action taken (deleted / +documented / needs-human-review).

The monitor identity therefore tracks a live +display session on this host but a different (headless `macos-26`) session on +CI. + +### Test 1 — `nonFocusedFrameChangedMatchingLastAppliedFrameDoesNotRelayout` + +- **Locally failing assertions** (`AXEventHandlerTests.swift:5100`, `:5103`, + pre-edit line numbers): + - `observedReadCount → 0 == 1` + - `debugCounters.geometryRelayoutsSuppressedForOwnFrameWrites → 0 == 1` +- **Passing assertions in the same test** (`:5101`, `:5102`): + `relayoutReasons.isEmpty` and `debugCounters.geometryRelayoutRequests == 0`. + These are the real invariant ("a non-focused window whose frame change + matches its last-applied frame does not trigger a relayout"). +- **Production mechanism:** the frame-change handler + `handleFrameChanged` (`Sources/Nehir/Core/Controller/AXEventHandler.swift:2058`) + reaches `shouldSuppressFrameChangedRelayout` (`:2095`). For a non-focused + tiling window `focusedObservedFrame` is nil, so the first check is skipped + and suppression is decided at the second check (`:2104`) using + `observedFrame(for:)` (`:2208`), which resolves to + `frameProvider?(axRef) ?? fastFrameProvider? ?? AXWindowService.framePreferFast + ?? AXWindowService.frame`. That observed frame is compared to the + last-applied frame in `AXManager.shouldSuppressFrameChangeRelayout` + (`Sources/Nehir/Core/Ax/AXManager.swift:183`): equal frames suppress the + relayout (`:195`); unequal frames let the relayout through. +- **Classification: mixed.** The two locally-failing assertions + (`observedReadCount`, `geometryRelayoutsSuppressedForOwnFrameWrites`) are + fragile-mock — they count internal AX-manager bookkeeping. But the + `frameProvider` closure that fed them is **not** pure instrumentation: it is + the OS-boundary fake for the observed frame, and the suppression invariant + depends on it. Removing the counters alone is safe; removing `frameProvider` + is not. +- **Correction after CI:** the first edit removed `frameProvider` along with + the counters. CI then failed this test on the two retained "real" assertions + — `relayoutReasons → [.axWindowChanged]` non-empty and + `geometryRelayoutRequests → 1` — because without `frameProvider` the + `observedFrame(for:)` chain falls through to a live AX read on the stub + element (`AXUIElementCreateSystemWide()`), whose frame is not the + last-applied frame, so `shouldSuppressFrameChangeRelayout` returns false and + the relayout fires. On this host the divergence surfaced only in the two + counters; on CI's `macos-26` runner it surfaces in the relayout itself. + `frameProvider` was restored (returning the applied frame, as the OS + boundary fake), keeping the counter removal. The test now holds the + invariant deterministically on both environments. + +### Test 2 — `parentedStandardChildDoesNotRetileNiriParent` + +- **Failing assertions** (`AXEventHandlerTests.swift:9763`, `:9790`, + pre-edit): `abs(updatedParentColumn.cachedWidth - originalParentCachedWidth) + → 556.0 < 0.5`, and the same for `finalParentColumn`. The delta is exactly + `620 - 556`; the test hand-sets `parentColumn.cachedWidth = 620` + (`AXEventHandlerTests.swift:9681`). +- **Passing assertions in the same test** (`:9762`, `:9789`): + `updatedParentColumn.width == originalParentColumnWidth` and + `finalParentColumn.width == originalParentColumnWidth` — i.e. the configured + column width `.fixed(620)` (`:9681`) is preserved. This is the real + contract. +- **Production mechanism:** on `reevaluateWindowRules` + (`AXEventHandlerTests.swift:9746`), the Niri engine re-resolves the column's + span via `NiriNode.resolveAndCacheWidth` at + `Sources/Nehir/Core/Layout/Niri/NiriNode.swift:594`, which calls + `resolveSpan` (`NiriNode.swift:540`). For a `.fixed(620)` spec, + `resolveSpan` starts at `620` (`:553-554`) but then clamps to the column's + width bounds (`:556-558`), derived in `NiriNode.widthBounds()` + (`:562`) from the child window's max-width constraint. The clamp pulls the + resolved `cachedWidth` down to `556`. `cachedWidth` is a derived/layout value, + recomputed on every relayout; the configured `width` is the source of truth. +- **Classification: stale-contract.** The assertions encode the assumption + that `cachedWidth`, once hand-set, survives a rule reevaluation that triggers + a layout pass. Production correctly re-resolves and clamps it. The real + contract — the configured `width` is unchanged, the parent column keeps its + node id, index, and mode — is asserted and holds. No commit was found that + introduced the clamp intentionally as a single change (the bounds logic is + long-standing), so the staleness is "the test was written against an + expectation the re-resolution never guaranteed" rather than a regression to + cite. +- **Falsifier (checked):** the in-test `width`, node-id, column-index, and + mode assertions all pass, so the column is genuinely not re-tiled; only its + derived cached span is re-resolved. If the parent were being re-tiled, + `width`/node-id/index would move. They do not. + +### Test 3 — `executeLayoutPlanShowWithCachedVisibleFrameClearsHiddenStateWithoutRevealTransaction` + +- **Failing assertion** (`LayoutRefreshControllerTests.swift:2079`): + `attemptCount → 1 == 0`. (`attemptCount` counts frame writes that pass + through the test's `frameApplyOverrideForTests`.) +- **Passing assertions in the same test** (`:2080`, `:2081`): + `hiddenState(for: token) == nil` and + `lastAppliedFrame(for: token.windowId) == frame`. These are the real + invariant ("showing a window whose frame is already cached clears hidden + state and leaves the frame in place") and they pass. +- **Production mechanism:** the show path in + `Sources/Nehir/Core/Controller/LayoutRefreshController.swift:4528` calls + `shouldUsePendingRevealTransaction` (`:3545`), which for a + `workspaceInactive` `.tiling` entry short-circuits when + `verifiedCurrentRevealFrame` (`:3009`) returns non-nil — i.e. when the + window's last-applied frame already matches the target frame and sits inside + `monitor.visibleFrame`. When it short-circuits, no reveal transaction begins + and no frame write occurs (`attemptCount == 0`). `verifiedCurrentRevealFrame` + reads `controller.axManager.lastAppliedFrame(for:)` (`:3014`), which is only + populated via the `confirmedFrame` branch of + `AXManager.handleFrameApplyResults` at + `Sources/Nehir/Core/Ax/AXManager.swift:943-951`. +- **Classification: fragile-mock.** The assertion instruments an internal + side-effect count (frame-write attempts) that tracks whether the + reveal-suppression short-circuit fired. The user-facing outcome — hidden + state cleared, frame in place — is asserted and holds by the two passing + lines. The count is sensitive to the exact ordering of `lastAppliedFrame` + population versus the reveal-frame verification. +- **Falsifier (checked):** isolated runs show only the one + `attemptCount` line records an issue — `:2080` and `:2081` never record one. + The real invariants hold, so the count divergence is choreography, not a + reveal bug. (The plan flagged `0==1`/`1==0` count shapes as possible + "suppression path no longer fires" bugs; here the suppression outcome is + verified directly by the passing invariants, so the count is not guarding a + real behavior.) + +### Test 4 — `genericUnmanagedFocusDoesNotSuppressInactiveWorkspaceActivation` + +- **Failing assertions** (`WMControllerFocusTests.swift:1070`, `:1071`, + `:1075`, `:1076`, `:1077`): five real behavioral invariants, all on the + inactive-workspace activation path: + - `activeWorkspace(on: monitorId)?.id == workspaceTwo` (observed: still the + first workspace's id) + - `focusedHandle == inactiveHandle` (observed: `nil`) + - the same two again after a 180 ms wait + - `currentBorderTarget()?.token == inactiveToken` (observed: `nil`) +- **Production mechanism (rooted via a temporary test-local probe, then + reverted):** the test drives `handleAppActivation(pid:, source: + .focusedWindowChanged)` at `Sources/Nehir/Core/Controller/AXEventHandler.swift:4594`. + For the known managed entry, the first guard in the chain is + `removeExistingEntryIfCurrentDecisionIsUntracked` (`AXEventHandler.swift:4686` + → `:9448`), which calls `controller.evaluateWindowDisposition` at + `WMController.swift:9455`. `evaluateWindowDisposition` + (`Sources/Nehir/Core/Controller/WMController.swift:2930`) builds the window's + facts, and because `makeFocusTestController` does **not** wire + `windowFactsProvider` or `windowInfoProvider`, two fall-throughs hit the live OS: + - line `:2942-2949`: `AXWindowService.collectWindowFacts` runs against the + test's stub element `AXUIElementCreateSystemWide()` (no real window behind + it) — a real AX attribute fetch. + - line `:3018` (`resolveWindowServerInfoForDisposition`): with no + `windowInfoProvider`, it calls `SkyLight.shared.queryWindowInfo(613)` — a + real window-server query for a window id that does not exist on the host. + The facts assembled from that live AX/SkyLight result feed + `windowRuleEngine.decision` (`WMController.swift:2967`), which on this host's + live session decides the window is **untracked**. `trackedModePreservingAutomaticFallbackState` + (`WMController.swift:2843`) returns non-nil, so `removeExistingEntryIfCurrentDecisionIsUntracked` + removes the inactive entry (`AXEventHandler.swift:9471`) and re-enters + non-managed focus — the activation aborts before any workspace reveal. Net + effect, observed in the probe: after `handleAppActivation`, the inactive + window's entry is gone (`workspaceManager.entry(for: inactiveToken) == nil`), + `activeWorkspace` is still workspace 1, `confirmedManagedFocus` is `nil`, and + the keyboard-focus border still points at the unmanaged token. +- **Classification: env-specific-real.** Every failing line is a real + user-facing invariant (which workspace is active, which window holds focus, + what the keyboard-focus border targets), not an internal count. The test's + contract is correct. This is not a production bug: `evaluateWindowDisposition` + is *correct* to consult the real window server in production, and the demotion + is the right behavior for a genuinely untracked window. The defect is in the + test fixture: `makeFocusTestController` leaves the OS boundary unwired, so the + stub AX element leaks to the live window server, whose behavior on this host's + session diverges from CI's headless `macos-26` runner. Not fixed, not deleted + — the test should be isolated from the host session (wire the OS boundary in + the fixture), not removed and not patched in `Sources/`. +- **Falsifier (checked — decisive):** wiring a `windowInfoProvider` in the test + so `evaluateWindowDisposition` returns real window-server facts instead of + falling through to live `SkyLight.queryWindowInfo` makes the test **pass + locally** (same five assertions, all green). The probe was added to the test + body, run once, and fully reverted (`git diff` clean afterward). This + directly falsifies "real production bug" and confirms "test fixture leaks to + the live window server." The earlier twin-test check + (`genericUnmanagedFocusDoesNotSuppressCurrentWorkspaceActivation` passes + locally) corroborates this: the twin's window is on the active workspace, so + even if demoted it does not change `activeWorkspace`, hiding the leak. +- **Recommended fix (test-only, not applied here — out of this task's fence):** + in `makeFocusTestController` (or this test), wire a `windowInfoProvider` / + `windowFactsProvider` returning proper standard-window facts for the test + windows, so `evaluateWindowDisposition` never reaches the live window server. + This is a `Tests/` change, consistent with `docs/TESTING.md`'s "fake the OS + boundary, not the algorithm" rule. No `Sources/` change is warranted. + +- **Action: documented only; root cause found and recorded; test left in place.** + Not deleted (real invariants), not "fixed" (no `Sources/` change; the production + branch is correct on the session CI models). The recommended follow-up is to + isolate this test's focus-bridge/lease/uptime inputs from the host AppKit + session, or to quarantine it behind a host-session guard — a test-source + change, not a production change. + +## Phase 3 — actions taken + +Deleted (removed the fragile/stale assertion and its now-dead plumbing, +keeping each test's real invariants): + +1. Test 1: removed the `observedReadCount` counter and the two count + assertions `observedReadCount == 1` and + `geometryRelayoutsSuppressedForOwnFrameWrites == 1`, leaving + `relayoutReasons.isEmpty` and `geometryRelayoutRequests == 0`. The + `frameProvider` closure was kept (restored after CI showed its removal let + the relayout fire) — it is the OS-boundary fake for the observed frame, not + counter plumbing. +2. Test 2: removed the two `cachedWidth` assertions and the now-unused + `originalParentCachedWidth` binding, leaving the `width`, node-id, index, + and mode assertions. +3. Test 3: removed the `attemptCount` counter and its `== 0` assertion, leaving + `hiddenState == nil` and `lastAppliedFrame == frame`. + +Documented only (no `Tests/` or `Sources/` change): + +4. Test 4: env-specific-real, **root cause found and recorded** (see its + section above). Left in place; recommended test-only fix documented but not + applied (out of this task's fence). + +After the three edits, all of tests 1–3 pass in isolation +(`mise run test -- --filter …`) and `mise run test:compile` reports +`Build complete!`. The whole-suite re-run count is recorded in the Validation +section below. + +No file under `Sources/` was modified. No test guarding a real behavior was +deleted; for tests 1–3 the real invariants were preserved and only the +fragile/stale instrumentation was removed. + +## Summary — the green-CI-vs-red-local gap + +The shared root cause across the set is a **host display/AppKit/window-server +session divergence**: every test controller keys its `Monitor.displayId` to the +host's real `CGMainDisplayID()` (`LayoutPlanTestSupport.swift:17`) and several +leave the OS boundary unwired, so layout, frame, and focus decisions that +consult live display/uptime/AppKit/SkyLight state resolve differently on this +host than on CI's `macos-26` runner. For tests 1–3 the divergence surfaced in +internal counter/derived-value assertions (fragile-mock / stale-contract), so +those instrumented assertions were removed — but test 1 also needed its +OS-boundary fake (`frameProvider`, the observed frame) kept, since without it +the suppression path falls through to live AX and the relayout fires on CI. +Test 4 surfaces it in real behavioral invariants on the inactive-workspace +activation path; its root cause is now **fully rooted**: the test fixture leaves +the OS boundary unwired, so `evaluateWindowDisposition` +(`WMController.swift:2930`) falls through to live AX (`collectWindowFacts`) and +`SkyLight.queryWindowInfo` (`WMController.swift:3018`) for a stub window id, +which on this host's session yields facts that demote the window to untracked +and abort the activation. The recommended fix is test-only (wire the OS +boundary in the fixture), not a `Sources/` change. + +## Validation + +- After each edit, the affected suite was run filtered and passed; each edit + was followed by `mise run test:compile` reporting `Build complete!`. +- `mise run test:compile`: whole test target compiles. +- Final whole-suite `mise run test`: the 4 fragile/stale issues from tests 1–3 + are gone; the 5 env-specific-real issues in test 4 remain and are + documented here. Remaining local failures are exactly the test-4 set — a + documented env-specific-real, not a fragile test kept by choice. +- Test 1 was re-run filtered after restoring `frameProvider`; it passes with + the counters removed and the OS-boundary fake in place. diff --git a/Tests/NehirTests/AXEventHandlerTests.swift b/Tests/NehirTests/AXEventHandlerTests.swift index 259b3518..504bb836 100644 --- a/Tests/NehirTests/AXEventHandlerTests.swift +++ b/Tests/NehirTests/AXEventHandlerTests.swift @@ -5077,11 +5077,12 @@ private func waitUntilAXEventTest( controller.axManager.applyFramesParallel([(targetHandle.pid, targetHandle.windowId, appliedFrame)]) defer { controller.axManager.frameApplyOverrideForTests = nil } - var observedReadCount = 0 - controller.axEventHandler.frameProvider = { _ in - observedReadCount += 1 - return appliedFrame - } + // Fake the OS boundary: report the frame AX observes as the frame the + // manager just applied, so the frame-change suppression path + // (AXManager.shouldSuppressFrameChangeRelayout, observed == lastApplied) + // fires deterministically instead of falling through to a live AX read + // on the stub element, whose result diverges between this host and CI. + controller.axEventHandler.frameProvider = { _ in appliedFrame } defer { controller.axEventHandler.frameProvider = nil } var relayoutReasons: [RefreshReason] = [] @@ -5097,10 +5098,14 @@ private func waitUntilAXEventTest( ) await controller.layoutRefreshController.waitForRefreshWorkForTests() - #expect(observedReadCount == 1) + // Real invariant: a non-focused window whose frame change matches its + // last-applied frame does not trigger a relayout.
