Test Suite Redesign

This sprint established the first fakeable boundary before any broad migration depended on it. Its brief asked for production behavior to keep using the real adapter while a representative decision could be proven without real git or spawned agents. The scope was narrow enough for a fresh agent to hold because it was a seam and a proof case, not a suite rewrite. The run facts show a clean boundary for that foundation.

This sprint consumed the new seam by moving sprint-flow assertions onto fake-backed control paths. The brief kept the agent focused on ordering, resume, gate, review, and finalization decisions in the sprint driver. It ran more than a single pass through the unit pipeline but stayed green, which points to coverage expansion rather than a broken boundary. The important cut was that sprint behavior could now be asserted without restaging the whole outside world.

This sprint narrowed the problem to how driver failures are counted and reported after failed gates, malformed output, and infrastructure-style exits. That was a good memoryless-agent unit because it could lean on the fake world from the previous sprints and focus on classification rather than setup mechanics. The facts show a green pass through the sprint boundary. The value of the cut was making failure accounting direct enough to test without reproducing every external failure in a real process.

This sprint expanded the seam across milestone, loop, map, and routing behavior, which made it the widest cut in the milestone. The gate went red here and a fix pass followed, locating the difficulty in applying the fake-backed model across driver modes rather than in the seam itself. Review also recorded a note, so the boundary produced useful feedback instead of just a green commit. The sprint still completed without forcing a run-level recovery.

This sprint closed the milestone by adding goal-driver coverage and drawing the remaining real integration surface. Its brief depended on the prior fake tests but also required an honest list of what still needed real subprocess and repository behavior. It passed green, while the milestone ledger still reported that the wider driver-test reduction was incomplete. That made the next milestone inherit a concrete triage problem rather than a vague cleanup request.

This sprint was deliberately diagnostic before more timeout and lock work landed. It had to classify the remaining driver integration surface left by the prior milestone and protect coverage while moving more decisions toward fake-backed tests. That bounded task fit a fresh agent because it was an audit and migration pass over known driver tests. It passed green and gave later tiering a clearer, though still incomplete, map of what real integration meant.

This sprint attacked the hidden dependency on ambient configuration and current-directory state. The brief named an explicit process context contract, which let the agent work at the boundary where runtime settings are resolved and passed inward. It stayed green because the public command-line behavior could remain unchanged while tests gained injectable inputs. That made later ownership work possible without a broad behavioral rewrite.

This sprint narrowed process locking to cases that actually own global state. It consumed the explicit context contract from the previous sprint and replaced a fixed host-wide lock with a workspace-scoped, bounded ownership model. The boundary stayed green, which fits a test-support change whose main risk was fixture coordination. The result gave timeout and stress work a smaller lock surface to reason about.

This sprint made hangs a verdict instead of an indefinite wait. Its brief split the work between preferred runner configuration, heavy-profile limits, and fallback script bounds, keeping the agent away from unrelated driver semantics. The facts show a clean pass, indicating that the timeout contract could be added at the runner layer without reopening process-context work. It also supplied the premise for baseline-gate supervision in the next sprint.

This sprint moved from test-runner bounds to Gantry's own baseline-gate supervision. The brief asked for no-progress and total-time concepts to classify a non-terminating baseline gate as infrastructure failure while preserving normal red and green verdicts. It passed green, which shows the orchestration layer could consume the runner timeout contract cleanly. The sprint completed the milestone's chain from individual tests to run-level gate ownership.

This sprint finished the audit that earlier milestones had left open before any heavy-tier move could happen. The brief forced real driver tests to justify external repository or process behavior, while displaced decisions had to stay covered through fake-backed paths. It passed green, so the classification work did not need another repair loop. That gave the root runner sprint a defined heavy surface instead of a bulk quarantine.

This sprint made the mechanical gate change after the heavy surface had been named. Its brief split default behavioral coverage, stripped feature checks, and explicit heavy coverage into script-level contracts. The facts show the gate ran more than once but stayed successful, which points to careful validation of the runner shape rather than a failed build. The unit was self-contained because it owned the top-level script and its immediate documentation.

This sprint defined what counts as flake closeout evidence under contention. The brief made the harness reject narrow single-test proof for flake-class work and required whole-module scope, full parallelism, repeated sampling, and competing load. It passed green as a focused script and analysis change. The boundary is important because it changes the meaning of a green stress run, not just the command syntax.

This sprint protected the tier split against regression. Its brief asked for representative default-tier tests that spawn real git outside approved fixtures to fail with a useful message. That was a small and well-contained unit because it only needed to scan test sources and honor known exceptions. It stayed green, making the guardrail a policy check rather than another manual review item.

This sprint converted the new tier and stress contracts into durable contributor guidance. It came after the runner, stress harness, and guardrail were present, so the agent could document observed behavior rather than planned behavior. The facts show an extra gate pass but no repair, which fits a documentation sprint tied to executable checks. It closed the root-side milestone with a recorded stress result.

This sprint created the web-side contract before converting specialized flows. The brief asked the agent to prove durable page identity, chrome, sections, navigation, calls to action, links, and behavior instead of broad body prose. It passed green with an additional gate pass, which fits a foundational test-helper change touching many page-rendering expectations. The sprint gave later web agents a shared assertion vocabulary.

This sprint converted license and download coverage after the structural contract existed. The brief kept the scope on access states, download actions, release assets, and hermetic behavior rather than explanatory prose. It passed cleanly, suggesting the shared web contract was adequate for this flow. The unit did not need to touch pricing or copy quarantine yet.

This sprint took the commerce-sensitive web surface and kept it separate from general page rendering. The brief asked for prices, product identifiers, consent, validation, submission behavior, and checkout destinations to remain protected through stable sources of truth. The facts show an extra gate pass but no repair, which fits a flow with several app layers but a clear acceptance contract. It left exact wording outside the core proof.

This sprint closed the web milestone by sweeping residual broad copy pins and moving intentional exact-copy checks out of the default web gate. The brief also required the temporary handover artifact to disappear once its issues were resolved or retired. It passed with an additional gate pass, appropriate for a cleanup unit whose risk was missing a lingering copy assertion. The result completed the Rails side without changing the root-tier work already settled.
