Why

The whiteboard IT suite was banned from local runs: each IT test boots a real Chromium + core server via getExtensionTestApi, and vitest's uncapped fork pool spawned ~12 concurrent Chromium+server pairs on a 12-core Mac — twice saturating the workstation (load 90+). CI never hit this because the whiteboard shard runs on a dedicated 4-vCPU runner.

What

  • localForkCap() in packages/extensions/whiteboard/vitest.config.ts: off-CI, when VITEST_MAX_FORKS is unset, default maxWorkers: 3 on both the node project and whiteboard-browser. CI (GITHUB_ACTIONS) stays uncapped; an explicit VITEST_MAX_FORKS still wins.
  • AGENTS.md: replaced the CI-only landmine bullet with the local-run recipe and a warning to never bypass the cap.

Verification

Local, on a 12-core / 36 GB Mac already at load ~50 from other work:

  • full suite: 27 files / 76 tests, all pass, 49s, no load spike (watchdog at load 90 never fired)
  • typecheck, oxlint, fallow audit: pass

No published code changes (test config + docs only), hence no-changeset.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Enabled local whiteboard and browser test runs with a cap of three concurrent workers.
    • Added support for configuring the maximum test workers through an environment setting.
    • Updated testing guidance to require building the package before running Vitest tests.

…re Macs

CI (dedicated 4-vCPU runner) and explicit VITEST_MAX_FORKS overrides are unaffected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Whiteboard Vitest configuration now caps local workers at three unless CI or VITEST_MAX_FORKS overrides the cap. The browser project uses the same rule. AGENTS.md now documents local build and test execution.

Changes

Whiteboard testing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local test worker control
packages/extensions/whiteboard/vitest.config.ts, AGENTS.md
The whiteboard and browser Vitest projects apply the local worker cap. The guidance now requires a package build before local Vitest execution and documents the cap.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2b274

The local whiteboard test suite may still start too many Chromium and server processes because the worker cap is not applied to the node project, risking workstation overload during local runs. Merge should wait until both projects receive the cap.

- The whiteboard test suite (`packages/extensions/whiteboard/test`) runs in CI only, never locally:
not one test, not `--filter`'d. Local gates for whiteboard changes are typecheck/build/lint;
behavior evidence comes from a green CI run on the PR.
- The whiteboard test suite (`packages/extensions/whiteboard/test`) boots a real Chromium + server

Fixed in 9631bfe — the bullet now distinguishes the *.it.test.ts integration tests and browser project (which boot Chromium + server) from the plain-node unit tests.
