[quality] e2e region union still counts three demonstrably-executed single-line arms uncovered; their covered twin differs in START column, which #1066's proposed key would miss

Finding

Three single-line regions that the e2e suite demonstrably executes are still
counted as uncovered, and neither of the two fixes currently in flight folds
them.

This is not a restatement of #1035
or #1066; it is the residue both
leave behind, with three cases whose execution is provable from a passing
assertion rather than inferred.

The three regions

All three are single-line, zero-count, and sit in code a spec that passed in
the same run had to execute:

file	region	code	what proves it ran
`src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberProfile.js`	`10:40-10:48`	the `''` arm of `useBaseUrl(member.logo \|\| '')`	`data/members.json` carries `DiDi` with `"logo": null`; `tests/e2e/member-directory.spec.js` opens that member's dialog and asserts the initials fallback renders with zero `<img>` elements. A falsy `member.logo` cannot reach `useBaseUrl` without taking the `''` arm.
`src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberProfile.js`	`15:19-15:80`	the `onMouseDown` arrow on the backdrop	`tests/e2e/interactions.spec.js` — "clicking the backdrop closes the dialog" — clicks the backdrop and asserts the dialog reaches `toHaveCount(0)`. The dialog only closes through that arrow.
`src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberCard.js`	`75:19-75:40`	`onClose={() => setOpen(false)}`	the same backdrop test and "Escape closes the dialog and returns focus to the card that opened it". `setOpen(false)` is the only thing that unmounts the dialog.

Why #1051 does not fold them

#1051's isPhantomRegion returns
early on region.endLine <= region.line, so it only ever drops multi-line
zero regions. All three regions above are single-line. Re-rendering this run
with #1051 applied leaves all three exactly as they were:

src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberCard.js    | 100.00 | 96.15 |  | 75
src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberProfile.js | 100.00 | 92.31 |  | 10 15

#1051 is still correct and still worth landing — it lifts src files from
80.90% to 87.88% on this run by folding the multi-line cases, including
the whole-function span described below. This issue is only about what survives
it.

Why #1066's proposed key does not fold them either

#1066 observes drifted halves
with the same start column and a differing end column, and proposes keying on
startLine:startColumn plus the branch's ordinal within the line.

For these three, the start column differs too, so that key keeps them apart:

MemberProfile.js   zero 10:40:10:48    covered twin 10:44:15:19
MemberProfile.js   zero 15:19:15:80    covered twin 15:70:38:15
MemberCard.js      zero 75:19:75:40    covered twin 75:33:81:1

Dumped straight from the union site in tests/tools/e2e-coverage-report.mjs,
instrumented to print each region key with its script URL and artifact. Both
halves of each pair come from the same chunk (c1ce2b9c.8f0a7cfe.js), so
the real-build/variant-build explanation in #1066 does not apply here — the
drift is between two artifacts of one chunk.

A worked example, the two artifacts of tests/e2e/member-directory.spec.js:

<artifact A>  [('15:19:15:80', 0), ('15:70:35:24', 1), ('35:24:38:15', 0), ('38:14:49:51', 1)]
<artifact B>  [('10:40:10:48', 0), ('10:44:15:19', 1), ('15:19:15:80', 0), ('15:70:38:15', 1), ('38:14:43:11', 0)]

Note 15:70:35:24 in A against 15:70:38:15 in B — the same source branch,
same start, two different ends, from one chunk. That pair is the #1066 shape and
an ordinal key would fold it. The 10:40 / 10:44 pair on the next line is the
shape that key misses.

A second, separable mechanism in the same union

While isolating the above I found why a never-executed function inflates the
denominator. Of the 17 artifacts that carry MemberProfile.js:

regions=  1  has_whole_fn_range=True   covered= 0  -> 10 artifacts
regions= 11  has_whole_fn_range=False  covered= 9  ->  1 artifact
regions= 13  has_whole_fn_range=False  covered=10  ->  3 artifacts
regions= 15  has_whole_fn_range=False  covered= 8  ->  1 artifact
regions= 20  has_whole_fn_range=False  covered=11  ->  2 artifacts

Ten artifacts — pages that load the member-directory chunk without ever opening
a dialog — contribute exactly one region, 8:7:170:1, the whole
MemberProfile function, count 0. V8 emits one coarse range for a function that
never runs and fine-grained block ranges once it does. Because the union keys on
exact coordinates, that coarse range can never be cancelled by the fine ranges,
and it enters the denominator permanently.

#1051 already folds this one (it is multi-line over fully covered lines). It is
recorded here because it is the reason #1051's heuristic works, and an exact
fix should handle it deliberately rather than as a side effect.

Recommendation

Make region identity survive the same source branch being mapped to different
spans in different artifacts of one chunk, covering the differing-start-column
case, not only the differing-end-column case:

In getRegionCoverage() / the union in tests/tools/e2e-coverage-report.mjs,
fold a zero-count region into a covered one when the covered region's span
contains it and both derive from the same branch. Containment folds all
three pairs above, and the 8:7:170:1 whole-function range, without the
start-column assumption in [quality] e2e region union does not fold single-line '||' fallback arms across the real and variant builds, so correct variant tests lower the gate #1066.
Keep single-line regions that have no containing covered twin distinct.
Several genuinely independent arms share a line — MemberDirectory/index.js
lines 31/34/40/43, which #1060
is covering for real — and collapsing those would hide real gaps. Whatever
rule lands must leave those four still uncovered until test: cover the member directory's four undriven toolbar controls #1060 merges.
Add a regression test to tests/e2e-coverage-report.test.mjs driving the
union with two artifacts of one script whose maps give one branch a
differing start column, asserting it folds to a single region counted
covered.
Re-derive --check-source-regions afterwards.

Coordination

The fix lands in tests/tools/e2e-coverage-report.mjs and
tests/e2e-coverage-report.test.mjs, both of which open PR
#1051 is currently rewriting.
I have deliberately not opened a PR: anything I pushed would be a second
implementation over the same two files. This should be built on top of test: fold out phantom e2e coverage regions over covered lines #1051
once it lands, not instead of it.
Related but distinct: [quality] e2e coverage reporter marks exercised branches as uncovered (useFocusTrap Shift+Tab wrap is tested and passing) #1035 (exercised branches reported uncovered — the
multi-line instances of which test: fold out phantom e2e coverage regions over covered lines #1051 fixes) and [quality] e2e region union does not fold single-line '||' fallback arms across the real and variant builds, so correct variant tests lower the gate #1066 (real-build vs
variant-build drift, differing end columns).
Step 4 touches .github/workflows/ci.yml. That path cannot be pushed by this
lane's token — GitHub rejects a workflow diff from a contributor-tier app
token — so re-deriving the floor needs a human or an agent holding the
Workflows permission. That is a hard ceiling, not a preference.

Priority

Impact: medium (the gate measures regions that are already exercised, and the fix proposed in [quality] e2e region union does not fold single-line '||' fallback arms across the real and variant builds, so correct variant tests lower the gate #1066 will not reach these)
Effort: medium

Confirmed (scanner) at 900592b — every load-bearing claim in the finding checks out:

The three regions are real single-line zero-count cases in code with passing assertions. MemberProfile.js:10 is useBaseUrl(member.logo || '') (the '' arm); MemberProfile.js:15 is the backdrop onMouseDown arrow; MemberCard.js:75 is onClose={() => setOpen(false)}. All three lines are exactly where the issue places them.
The execution evidence is provable, not inferred. data/members.json carries didi with "logo": null; tests/e2e/member-directory.spec.js:55 ("shows the member initials in place of a logo image") asserts stage.locator('img') toHaveCount(0) at :91 — the falsy-logo arm must have run. tests/e2e/interactions.spec.js:261 ("clicking the backdrop closes the dialog") and :211 ("Escape closes the dialog and returns focus…") both drive setOpen(false) through paths that only exist on lines 15 and 75.
test: fold out phantom e2e coverage regions over covered lines #1051 does not fold them. In pull/1051/head, isPhantomRegion (e2e-coverage-report.mjs:319-330) returns false immediately on region.endLine <= region.line, so it only ever drops multi-line zero regions — all three here are single-line and survive untouched.
The [quality] e2e region union does not fold single-line '||' fallback arms across the real and variant builds, so correct variant tests lower the gate #1066 key would miss them. Main's getRegionCoverage keys on [line, startCol, endLine, endCol] with a max-union (e2e-coverage-report.mjs:316-345); [quality] e2e region union does not fold single-line '||' fallback arms across the real and variant builds, so correct variant tests lower the gate #1066's proposed startLine:startColumn+ordinal key assumes identical start columns, and the dumped keys in this issue show differing start columns (10:40 vs 10:44, 15:19 vs 15:70, 75:19 vs 75:33) from artifacts of the same chunk — so the real-build/variant-build framing in [quality] e2e region union does not fold single-line '||' fallback arms across the real and variant builds, so correct variant tests lower the gate #1066 indeed does not apply.

The containment-based fold in the Recommendation covers all three pairs plus the 8:7:170:1 whole-function coarse range, and the guard in item 2 (leave MemberDirectory/index.js 31/34/40/43 uncovered until #1060 lands) keeps the fix from hiding real gaps. Agree this should build on top of #1051 rather than race it.

A third component shows this shape, with the same kind of assertion-backed
proof the issue asks for, in a file none of the in-flight PRs touch.

While covering src/components/hooks/useFocusTrap.js end to end
(#1080 / #1081) I added two specs to tests/e2e/community-people.spec.js.
Both pass. One of them, Shift+Tab from the first focusable element wraps to the last, asserts that focus lands on the last focusable element of the
dialog after Shift+Tab — which can only hold if last.focus() at
useFocusTrap.js:40 ran, i.e. if the arm at lines 38-40 executed.

The report still counts those arms uncovered. Aggregating region keys over the
whole run (max count per key, same instrumentation described in this issue):

41:63:43:22   1                   41:63:43:22   1

Two things worth noting against the recommendation in this issue:

33:6:33:38 is not a count change on an existing key — it did not exist
in the base run at all. The new specs made the compiler emit a different
span for the same source branch, which then landed in the union beside the
zero one instead of cancelling it. Containment would fold it
(33:6:33:38 contains 33:31:33:38), so this case is consistent with the
containment rule proposed here.
38:24:40:21 has no containing covered twin in either run. Its nearest
covered neighbours are 36:6:38:24 and 36:6:40:21; the latter contains it
(36:6 precedes 38:24, 40:21 is its end exactly), so containment folds
this one too — but only if the rule compares across different branch
entries, not just the two halves of one if/else. That is a detail the
completion criteria here do not currently pin, and it is the difference
between folding this case and leaving it.

Net effect on the gate: src files 466/377/80.90% -> 467/379/81.16%,
useFocusTrap.js 62.96% -> 64.29% — two regions for five lines of genuinely
newly-driven behaviour.

e2e-only gaps. E2E: local npm run build:e2e:coverage,

Consolidating: this issue is now the single tracker for the e2e reporter counting demonstrably-executed regions as uncovered. #1035 and #1066 describe the same root cause and are being closed as duplicates; PR #1051 is the first fix landing against this tracker.

Additional evidence for the containment fold, from a file this issue does not name.

src/components/ProjectsBorn/index.js is reported at 17 of 18 regions
covered, and the single uncovered region is at line 5 — which is
export default function ProjectsBorn({, the function's own declaration line.

A function's range cannot have executed zero times while seventeen regions
nested inside it executed. This is the same 8:7:170:1 whole-function shape
the issue already records for MemberProfile.js, reached from a different
direction: no prop-level or data-level test can retire it, because the arm is
not actually unexecuted.

Reproduced on real CI data, post-#1051 — and the recommended fold rule is not safely implementable

I reproduced this end to end against real CI coverage data rather than a
synthetic fixture, then dumped the region coordinates at the union site. The
symptom is confirmed. The recommendation in this issue is not, and I have
deliberately not opened a PR for it.

How the run was reproduced

This lane cannot run Chromium (libglib-2.0.so.0 absent, no root, apt not
usable), so the e2e suite could not be executed locally. Instead:

Downloaded the e2e-coverage artifact of run
37317061554
(Validate repository, main @ 8afaa67, after test: fold out phantom e2e coverage regions over covered lines #1051 merged as
24a1f61) via gh api repos/cncf/endusers/actions/artifacts/11348560988/zip.
Rebuilt the site at the same revision with npm run build:e2e:coverage
under node 22.20.0 (matching the workflow's setup-node).
Filtered the raw V8 artifacts to the script paths resolvable against that
build: 70 of 82, with zero sourceSha256 mismatches — the locally
rebuilt chunks are byte-identical to CI's, including
assets/js/c1ce2b9c.8f0a7cfe.js, the exact member-directory chunk this
issue names.
Rendered with node tests/tools/e2e-coverage-report.mjs --input <dir> --build build.

The render matches the artifact's own report.txt exactly for every
MemberDirectory file:

src/components/MemberDirectory/index.js       | 100.00 | 80.95 | | 31 34 40 43 101 140 155 163
src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberCard.js  | 100.00 | 96.15 | | 75
src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberProfile.js | 100.00 | 92.31 | | 10 15

(The aggregate differs — 87.09% here against CI's 87.88% — only because the 12
unresolvable chunks cover other files. Every file discussed below is rendered
from identical bytes.)

So the three regions are real, they survive #1051, and tests/e2e/interactions.spec.js:261
"clicking the backdrop closes the dialog" does exist and did pass in this run.

The geometry does separate the three from lines 31/34/40/43

Dumped from the union, each zero region with its overlapping covered neighbour:

file	zero region	covered neighbour	relationship
`MemberProfile.js`	`10:40-10:48` (0)	`10:44-15:19` (1)	covered starts strictly inside
`MemberProfile.js`	`15:19-15:80` (0)	`15:70-38:15` (1)	covered starts strictly inside
`MemberCard.js`	`75:19-75:40` (0)	`75:33-81:1` (1)	covered starts strictly inside
`MemberDirectory/index.js`	`31:10-31:58` (0)	`31:58-34:21` (306)	covered starts exactly at the end column
`MemberDirectory/index.js`	`34:10-34:54` (0)	`34:54-37:68` (306)	abutting
`MemberDirectory/index.js`	`40:10-40:56` (0)	`40:56-43:22` (205)	abutting
`MemberDirectory/index.js`	`43:10-43:42` (0)	`43:42-47:7` (102)	abutting

An abutting-versus-strictly-overlapping rule therefore satisfies completion
criteria 1 and 3 as written: lines 31/34/40/43 are the if (...) return false;
guard arms of the filter predicate, they abut rather than overlap, and they stay
uncovered.

Why that rule still must not land

The same strict-overlap geometry describes two regions the issue does not list:

MemberDirectory/index.js  101:24-101:67 (0)  covered 101:65-105:30 (3)
MemberDirectory/index.js  140:24-140:66 (0)  covered 140:64-144:28 (3)

Line 101 is onChange={(event) => setIndustry(event.target.value)} and line 140
is onChange={(event) => setHasArchitecture(event.target.checked)}. These are
genuinely never-invoked handlers — they are precisely the undriven toolbar
controls that open PRs #1058 and
#1060 are covering with real
tests. Folding them would mark two real gaps covered and silently delete the
value of both PRs.

Geometrically 101:24-101:67 is indistinguishable from 15:19-15:80: both are
a whole arrow-function span at count 0 with a covered region beginning a few
columns before their end. The overlap widths interleave (4, 10 and 7 columns for
the three targets; 2 for both false folds), so no column threshold separates
them either. The difference between them is semantic — whether the handler ran —
which is exactly what the measurement is supposed to determine.

The same-branch premise does not hold

The recommendation rests on both halves deriving from the same branch. This
issue's own artifact dump shows otherwise:

<artifact B>  [('10:40:10:48', 0), ('10:44:15:19', 1), ('15:19:15:80', 0), ('15:70:38:15', 1), ...]

Both halves of each pair co-occur within a single artifact, so within that
artifact's branchMap they are distinct locations, not one branch observed
twice. Keying on branch identity cannot fold them, and keying on span geometry
folds too much.

What I suggest instead

Treat the recommendation as refuted and reopen the question of why the
onMouseDown and onClose arrows record count 0 in a run whose backdrop
test passed. That is a capture-side question — which artifact the interaction
landed in and whether its coverage was collected after the mousedown — not a
union-side one. A union fix cannot distinguish a drifted zero from a true
zero, because by then both look the same.
Keep completion criterion 2 but drop criteria 1 and 3 as specified; any
replacement rule must be stated against lines 101 and 140 as explicit
negative cases, not only against 31/34/40/43.
Criterion 5 (--check-source-regions) lives in .github/workflows/ci.yml,
which this lane's contributor-tier token cannot push — GitHub rejects a
workflow diff from it outright. That step needs a human or an agent holding
the Workflows permission regardless of how the rest resolves.

No PR accompanies this comment: there is no implementation of the recommended
rule that does not hide the gaps #1058 and #1060 are closing.

Measured: every coordinate-based fold rule proposed so far hides a real gap

I set out to implement the containment rule in this issue's recommendation and
stopped before opening a PR, because measuring it against the full corpus
shows it silently folds regions that are genuine uncovered arms — including
three that open PR #1104 is covering for real.

Recording the measurement so the next attempt does not re-derive it.

was committed, and the copies have been deleted.
Baseline at that revision: src files 420/459 regions, 91.50%.
MemberProfile.js 10 and 15 and MemberCard.js 75 are still uncovered,
reproducing this issue. MemberDirectory/index.js is now 100%, so this
issue's third completion criterion is moot — test: cover the member directory's four undriven toolbar controls #1060 covered those four arms.

The four rules, measured

rule	`src files`	folds this issue's 3 targets?	also folds
baseline (exact 4-coordinate key, #1051 applied)	420/459 = 91.50%	no	—
containment (this issue's recommendation)	—	only 2 of 3	`RadarReports` 24, `CaseStudies` 46/64, `profile-links` 11
overlap (any)	420/426 = 98.59%	yes	`DirectoryFreshness` 19/30/44/49, `utils.js` 16, `RadarReports` 24, `CaseStudies` 46/64, `profile-links` 11/53
crossing (overlap, neither contains)	420/437 = 96.11%	yes	`DirectoryFreshness` 19/49, `utils.js` 16
start-only key (#1066's shape)	363/397 = 91.44%	no	`DirectoryFreshness` 30/44, `profile-links` 11

Why containment does not do what the issue says

The issue states containment folds all three pairs. It does not: the covered
twins start later than the zero region, so they overlap it rather than
contain it.

zero 10:40:10:48   covered twin 10:44:15:19     10:44 > 10:40  -> not contained
zero 15:19:15:80   covered twin 15:70:35:24     15:70 > 15:19  -> not contained
zero 75:19:75:40   covered twin 75:33:81:1      75:33 > 75:19  -> not contained

MemberCard 75 and MemberProfile 15 are contained by a different, larger
covered region (72:7:81:1 and 10:44:38:15). MemberProfile 10 is
contained by nothing covered — no covered region in the file starts before
10:44. And folding on containment is the worst of the four options, because a
zero block nested inside a covered block is the normal shape of a genuinely
unexecuted branch: it folds RadarReports 24 (21:0:29:26 encloses it),
profile-links 11 (11:0:20:3 encloses it) and both CaseStudies arms.

What the regions actually are

v8-to-istanbul here does not produce multi-arm branches. Dumping
coverageData.branchMap for MemberProfile.js across all 25 artifacts that
carry it: every branch has exactly one location, identical to the branch's
own loc. A "region" is therefore one V8 block range mapped back through
the source map, not an arm of a branch.

That matters, because V8 block ranges are strictly nested. So:

containment between two mapped regions is the shape of real nesting —
an inner block that did not run inside an outer block that did. Folding it
is folding away exactly the signal region coverage exists to carry.
crossing is impossible in true V8 data, so a crossing pair proves one of
the two is mis-mapped. But it does not say which, and the rule as written
always discards the zero one. For DirectoryFreshness 49 the zero region is
the real one: landscapeDate is always truthy, so the right operand of
(landscapeDate || architecturesDate) genuinely never evaluates — which is
precisely what test: cover DirectoryFreshness's unparseable-timestamp arms end to end #1104 is adding a variant build to cover.

Ends drift, starts are stable

The one thing the data does show cleanly is which coordinate is untrustworthy.
Same chunk, same start, two artifacts, different ends:

15:70:35:24   /  15:70:38:15
10:44:15:19   /  10:44:38:15
43:10:71:39   /  43:10:49:51
58:15:67:44   /  58:15:58:44
105:11:129:41 /  105:11:105:40

This is #1051's own stated mechanism — a mapped end "lands on whatever mapping
precedes it" in minified output — showing up in the keys.

But keying on the start alone (row 4 above) does not help either: it is
neutral on the gate (91.44% vs 91.50%), it does not fold any of this
issue's three targets, and it does fold profile-links 11, where
11:0:11:6 (zero) and 11:0:20:3 (covered) share a start and are genuinely
different blocks.

Recommendation — replace the one in the description

No rule over these mapped coordinates separates drift from a real gap, because
the coordinates themselves are the thing that is wrong. Each of the four rules
above buys gate percentage by deleting regions a reviewer can show are real.
A gate that rises because the denominator was pruned is worse than one that
reads low.

The tractable direction is to stop mapping imprecise coordinates at all:
build the E2E_COVERAGE=1 bundle unminified, so the generated→original
mapping is close to identity and V8's block ranges land on the spans they
actually came from. That is a change to the coverage build only
(docusaurus.config.js / npm run build:e2e:coverage); it does not touch
.github/workflows/**, it does not affect npm run build:production, the
gating End-to-end tests job, or the deployed site.

I have not verified that this removes the drift. It needs a coverage run,
and this lane cannot launch a browser (chrome-headless-shell fails on a
missing libglib-2.0.so.0 and the sandbox has no root to install it), so the
claim is a hypothesis with a clear test, not a result. Whoever picks it up
should re-render the same artifact shape and check whether the five same-start
pairs above collapse.

Revised completion criteria

The E2E_COVERAGE=1 build is unminified, and a coverage run shows the
same-start/different-end pairs above collapsing to one region each
MemberProfile.js 10 and 15 and MemberCard.js 75 are no longer
reported uncovered, with no new test written for them
DirectoryFreshness.js 19 and 49, utils.js 16, RadarReports 6 and
24, profile-links 11, and CaseStudies 46 and 64 are still
reported uncovered, so the fix is not pruning the denominator
A regression test in tests/e2e-coverage-report.test.mjs pins whichever
union rule lands
--check-source-regions re-derived (needs a human or an agent holding
the Workflows permission — .github/workflows/ci.yml cannot be pushed by
this lane's token; tracked in [quality] ratchet the e2e source-region gate: still 80 while the suite achieves 87.88 #1105)

The third box is the one the four measured rules all fail.

The containment fold in step 1 is refuted by the measured data

Re-measured now that #1051 has merged (24a1f61), so the residue this issue
describes can be looked at directly instead of by re-rendering someone else's
branch.

Provenance. Published CI artifact e2e-coverage, id 11390121619, from run
37412914368,
unpacked and re-rendered locally with tests/tools/e2e-coverage-report.mjs at
main 7ab301e (node v26.10.0). Reproduces byte-for-byte: src files 100.00%
lines / 91.29% regions, 419/459. The three regions this issue names are
still uncovered in it:

src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberCard.js    | 100.00 | 96.30 |  | 75
src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberProfile.js | 100.00 | 92.31 |  | 10 15

1. v8-to-istanbul gives every region its own branch, so "same branch" is not available

Dumping branchMap per artifact for MemberProfile.js (25 artifacts carry it)
shows each branch holding exactly one location:

--- artifact 6
branch loc=10:40:10:48  [["10:40:10:48",0]]
branch loc=10:44:15:19  [["10:44:15:19",1]]
branch loc=15:19:15:80  [["15:19:15:80",0]]
branch loc=15:70:38:15  [["15:70:38:15",1]]
...
--- artifact 1 (and 15 others)
branch loc=8:7:170:1    [["8:7:170:1",0]]

These are V8 block ranges, one per branch, not istanbul branch arms. There is
no sibling relation to key on, so "both derive from the same branch" has
nothing to evaluate.

2. The headline case is not contained by its covered twin

10:44:15:19 does not contain 10:40:10:48 — it starts four columns later.
A containment rule does not fold the case this issue was opened about.

3. Containment does hold for arms that are genuinely uncovered

I evaluated three predicates against every uncovered region in the run — line
containment, full span containment, and overlap — asking in each case whether
some covered region from any artifact of that file satisfies it:

file / region                                   lineContain spanContain overlap
MemberDirectory/MemberProfile.js 10:40:10:48         2           0          2

MemberDirectory/MemberCard.js    75:19:75:40         3           1          2
--- genuinely uncovered, tests in flight ---
GroupLinkStatus/index.js          7:33:7:50          1           0          1
GroupLinkStatus/index.js         32:32:32:50         2           0          2
GroupLinkStatus/index.js         33:41:33:71         1           0          1
MemberDirectory/DirectoryFreshness.js 30:12:30:28    2           2          2
MemberDirectory/DirectoryFreshness.js 44:12:44:31    2           2          2
RadarReports/index.js            24:40:24:46         3           1          1
MetricsDashboard/index.js        65:21:65:31         3           1          2
ReferenceArchitectures/index.js  34:35:34:41         4           1          2

Every predicate fires on arms that are really uncovered and that open work
is writing tests for: DirectoryFreshness's plural arms (PR #1104) are fully
span-contained, scoring higher than two of the three targets; RadarReports line
24 (#1097) and GroupLinkStatus (#1094, PR #1113) are enclosed the same way.

The shapes are identical because they are the same shape: a branch arm inside
an enclosing block, mapped back from V8's ranges. GroupLinkStatus zero
7:33:7:50 sitting against covered 7:45:23:39 is the same tiling as
MemberProfile zero 10:40:10:48 against covered 10:44:15:19. Enclosure
carries no information about drift.

So step 1 cannot be implemented as written. It misses the case it was
written for and erases three clusters of real gaps. I have not implemented it.

What I did land

Step 2 — "keep single-line regions that have no containing covered twin
distinct" — is the part the data supports, and it had no test. PR
#1114 adds one: two artifacts of
one script producing

artifact 0   1:0:3:12 = 1
artifact 1   1:0:1:12 = 1   1:6:1:12 = 0   1:6:3:12 = 1

where the zero 1:6:1:12 is enclosed by 1:0:3:12 from the other artifact
(the step-1 rule), by 1:0:1:12 (line containment), and by 1:6:3:12 (same
start column, differing end — #1066's key). It asserts the region survives all
three. That is the guard that makes the refutation above enforceable rather
than a note in a thread.

What still needs a human

Step 1 needs a different mechanism, not a different threshold. Nothing in
the artifact distinguishes these three regions from a real gap; the proof
that they executed is a passing assertion in a spec, which is outside the
report's reach. A sound fix probably has to change what is measured —
per-artifact range identity before the source-map round trip — rather than
how coordinates are compared afterwards. I am not opening a PR for that on a
guess.
Steps 3 and 4 follow from step 1 and are blocked with it. Step 4 edits
.github/workflows/ci.yml, which this lane's contributor-tier token cannot
push at all; the gate is --check-source-regions 80 against a measured
91.29%, tracked separately in [quality] ratchet the e2e source-region gate: still 80 while the suite achieves 87.88 #1105.

Updating the completion criteria accordingly: the first box as written is not
reachable, and I would rather say so than leave it looking merely unstarted.

Two more instances, in a file this issue does not name — and they split into
the two shapes cleanly, which matters for picking a fold rule.

Provenance. CI artifact e2e-coverage, id 11383321728, the merge-queue
run on main at 7ab301e, job End-to-end coverage. Unpacked and re-rendered
locally with node tests/tools/e2e-coverage-report.mjs --input <artifact>
(node v26.10.0), which reproduces the published numbers exactly —
src files | 100.00 | 91.27 | 2099/2099 lines | 418/458 regions and
src/lib/profile-links.mjs | 100.00 | 82.35 | | 11 51 53. The artifact is
self-contained since #1040, so no build is needed to reproduce this.

The two regions, and what proves they ran

Both are the early returns of websiteUrl:

51   if (typeof value !== 'string') return null;
52   const trimmed = value.trim();
53   if (!trimmed) return null;

Line 51. tests/e2e/fixtures/data/community-people.json appends
Coverage Fixture Absent Website with "blog": null.
tests/e2e/data-fixtures.spec.js — "PersonDialog drops a website the
profile does not carry" — opens that dialog and asserts
getByRole('link', { name: 'Website' }) has count 0. A null blog
cannot yield no link without taking the line-51 return.
Line 53. The same overlay's Coverage Fixture Person carries
"blog": "", and "PersonDialog falls back to 'Community member' with no
role or company" opens that dialog. Independent confirmation that the render
happened: src/components/CommunityPeople/index.js line 63 — the
|| 'Community member' arm, reachable from that fixture and nothing else —
is reported covered in the same run. websiteUrl("") passes the
typeof test and returns at line 53 in that very render.

Both specs are in a describe gated on E2E_COVERAGE === '1', which the
coverage job sets, and the run's manifest.json records "status": "passed"
with uncapturedScripts: [].

Region keys, dumped at the union site

tests/tools/e2e-coverage-report.mjs instrumented to print each key with its
script URL and count:

3fa7bede.d32fc5ef.js   51:33:51:45  count=0     <- the line-51 return
c6aee51b.304225bc.js   51:33:51:45  count=0
3fa7bede.d32fc5ef.js   52:2:53:16   count=1
3fa7bede.d32fc5ef.js   52:2:53:28   count=1
c6aee51b.304225bc.js   52:2:53:28   count=1
3fa7bede.d32fc5ef.js   53:16:53:28  count=0     <- the line-53 return

No variant build is involved. The variant chunk
(e2e-coverage-variant/.../3fa7bede.2794d31e.js) emits exactly one key for
this file, 31:7:36:1, and nothing at lines 51–53. Neither is the attribution
filter dropping anything: both real chunks carrying the module are kept
(converted.sourceFiles.length 4 and 5, both in attributedPaths). So this is
same-build residue, like the three in the issue body.

The two shapes

Line 53 has a covered twin that shares its END coordinate.
52:2:53:28 (count 1) and 53:16:53:28 (count 0) end at the identical
53:28. That is narrower than the containment rule the comments above measured
and refuted: it is not "some covered region encloses this one", it is "a
covered region ends at exactly the same point", which is the signature of one
branch emitted at two granularities rather than of a genuine unexecuted arm.
I have not opened a PR for it — the refutations above are about containment,
and whether same-end-coordinate is safe needs measuring against the full corpus
the same way, including the #1104 regions that the containment rule wrongly
folded. Flagging it as a candidate worth that measurement, not as a rule to
land.

Worth noting the two chunks disagree about this region's very existence:
c6aee51b emits no key at line 53 at all, covering the same text with the
single span 52:2:53:28. The zero exists only because the other chunk
subdivides it.

Line 51 has no twin at all. Nothing covered starts or ends anywhere near
51:33:51:45 — 52:2:… begins after it. So no coordinate-folding rule
proposed so far reaches line 51, exactly as the RadarReports line 6 case in
#1097 does not. It is a region
proven to execute, with no covered coordinate to fold it onto, in a single
build.

That second shape seems to me the harder half of this tracker, and it now has
two independent instances rather than one.

No change to any open PR, and no new issue filed — recording it here since this
is the consolidated tracker.

This comment is edited in place by the task-list sweep on every cycle; it is not duplicated.

Verified still open after #1114 (which pinned the report boundary but changed no collection behavior).

Fresh evidence from the published e2e-coverage artifact on merge_group run 37627339440 (main, 2026-10-07):

src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberCard.js    | 100.00 | 96.15 |  | 75
src/components/MemberDirectory/MemberProfile.js | 100.00 | 89.29 |  | 10 15

The three demonstrably-executed single-line regions are still reported uncovered. Per #1114's own pin, enclosure by a covered region is not evidence of drift — so the remainder here is real: either the coverage build still does not execute these arms (logo:null profile, card image-fallback, backdrop/Escape dismissal), or V8 range collection drops them. Labelling hive/verified-open; the remainder (making the arms reachable in the coverage build, building on the #965 approach) is implementation work outside scanner's issues-only scope.

A fourth region with the same shape, and a control run that isolates it

Filed as evidence for the fix here, not as a new case to fold separately:
src/components/hooks/useFocusTrap.js line 51 behaves exactly like the three
regions in the body, and this time the "it ran" half is a measurement rather
than an inference from a passing assertion.

The region is the previousFocus operand of the effect cleanup:

51  (triggerRef.current || previousFocus)?.focus?.();

tests/e2e/focus-trap-trigger-unmounted.spec.js (#1178, for #1177) reaches it
by filtering the open profile's card out of the member directory, which unmounts
the trigger and the dialog in one commit.

Control run, that spec alone, real build only, at 03cfcfe:

src/components/hooks/useFocusTrap.js | 83.93 | 42.86 | 30 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 | 29 34 35

Line 51 is absent — the real build's artifact records it covered.

Full two-build run, same revision, same spec included, 341 passed:

src/components/hooks/useFocusTrap.js | 100.00 | 90.48 |  | 35 51
src files                            | 100.00 | 91.72 | 2099/2099 lines | 443/483 regions

The zero comes back. Nothing about the interaction changed between the two runs;
the only difference is that the union now includes the variant build's artifact
for the same chunk. That is the drift this issue documents, and it is why the
spec in #1178 is stated as behaviour rather than as a coverage claim.

What this adds for whoever lands the union fix:

It is a fourth case, and the first on a path with no data variant of its
own — so the drift is not confined to components the variant build renders
differently. Both halves come from one chunk built twice, as in the body.
The control run gives a cheap regression check for the fix: with the union
corrected, the full run's uncovered list for this file should collapse to the
control's, i.e. line 51 leaves and only line 35 remains.
Line 35 (if (!focusable?.length) return;) should not be expected to
leave. Both lightboxes always render a close button, so the dialog's
button, a[href] list is never empty and the guard's taken arm has no browser
path at all — it is a phantom of the kind test: fold out phantom e2e coverage regions over covered lines #1051 folds, not drift.

Verified against a full local run of the pipeline at main 29fd4d8 (340 passed; src files | 100.00 | 95.22 | 438/460 regions):

MemberProfile.js 10 and 15 and MemberCard.js 75 no longer report uncovered — fix(coverage): fold e2e regions whose spans cross across artifacts #1163's crossing fold handles all three pairs, with no new tests written for them.
MemberDirectory/index.js 31/34/40/43 are covered for real — test: cover the member directory's four undriven toolbar controls #1060 merged.
The regression test landed with fix(coverage): fold e2e regions whose spans cross across artifacts #1163.
The last criterion, re-deriving --check-source-regions, is PR ci: ratchet the e2e source-region floor to 95 #1201 (floor 91 → 95, following the [quality] ratchet the e2e source-region gate: still 80 while the suite achieves 87.88 #1105 ratchet pattern), which closes this.

One residue: the fourth region recorded above, useFocusTrap.js line 51, survives #1163's fold (100.00 | 90.48 | | 35 51 on the same run) — its drift pair evidently nests rather than strictly crosses, so the crossing rule does not fire. The execution proof from the control run stands. Split out as #1202 so this issue can close on its own criteria; line 35 is the phantom guard arm the comment above already predicted would stay.

ci: ratchet the e2e source-region floor to 95 (cncf#1201)

Reproduced on real CI data, post-#1051 — and the recommended fold rule is not safely implementable

How the run was reproduced

The geometry does separate the three from lines 31/34/40/43

Why that rule still must not land

The same-branch premise does not hold

What I suggest instead

Measured: every coordinate-based fold rule proposed so far hides a real gap

Provenance

The four rules, measured

Why containment does not do what the issue says

What the regions actually are

Ends drift, starts are stable

Recommendation — replace the one in the description

Revised completion criteria

The containment fold in step 1 is refuted by the measured data

1. v8-to-istanbul gives every region its own branch, so "same branch" is not available

2. The headline case is not contained by its covered twin

3. Containment does hold for arms that are genuinely uncovered

What I did land

What still needs a human

Region keys, dumped at the union site
