# JOURNAL — phase cfold ## 2026-06-11 — Phase cfold start ### Investigation findings Pre-existing test layout: - 60 files in `functional/` subdirs across 20 recipes - 4 files in `playwright/` subdirs (cryptpad, custom-html, uptime-kuma) - Helper modules to move: `_discourse.py`, `_ghost.py`, `_mailu.py`, `_mm.py`, `_mumble_proto.py`, `drone/functional/__init__.py` - `mailu/test_backup.py`, `test_restore.py`, `ops.py` explicitly add `functional/` to sys.path — need updating to `custom/` ### Decision: deprecated aliases Per plan §2 option (RECOMMENDED): keep recognizing `functional/`/`playwright/` as deprecated aliases AND emit a loud one-line warning when a test is found in a deprecated folder. Using `warnings.warn()` at import time of discovery or `print()` directly. Will use `print()` (stderr) so it shows up in CI logs without needing to configure warning filters. Implementation: `subdirs = ("custom", "functional", "playwright")` — canonical first — and after finding a test in `functional/` or `playwright/`, emit: `print(f"WARNING [cfold]: test found in deprecated folder '{sub}/' — move to custom/: {path}", flush=True, file=sys.stderr)` This way: - `custom/` is canonical and gets discovered first - Old folders still work (zero breakage for repo-local tests) but emit a loud warning - No silent coverage loss possible ## 2026-06-12 — M1 checkpoint: canonical `custom/` layout landed locally Code/work completed: - `runner/harness/discovery.py`: canonical `custom/` discovery, deprecated alias warnings, and `custom_subdir_label()` normalization helper. - `runner/harness/manifest.py`: custom-test counts now normalize to canonical `custom`. - all cc-ci custom tests/helper modules moved from `tests//{functional,playwright}/` into `tests//custom/`. - helper-import fallout fixed where needed (`tests/mailu/{ops.py,test_backup.py,test_restore.py}`). - docs updated to describe `custom/` as the canonical layout and explain the alias-compatibility window. Mechanical move summary: - 64 custom test files relocated into `custom/` - helper modules relocated too: `_discourse.py`, `_ghost.py`, `_mailu.py`, `_mm.py`, `_mumble_proto.py`, `tests/drone/custom/__init__.py` Verification: ```bash nix shell nixpkgs#python312Packages.pytest --command pytest \ tests/unit/test_discovery.py tests/unit/test_discovery_phase2.py tests/unit/test_manifest.py -q # .................. # 18 passed in 0.09s ``` Post-move grep state: - remaining `functional/` / `playwright/` matches in live code are intentional: alias-policy docs, deprecated-folder assertions in the unit tests, and discovery comments describing the alias behavior. - the pre-migration inventory in `BACKLOG-cfold.md` is intentionally unchanged because it is the M1 baseline record the Adversary will compare against. ## 2026-06-12 — M1 coverage proof assembled Verification commands + observed outputs: ```bash $ git ls-files "tests/*/custom/test_*.py" | wc -l 64 $ git ls-files "tests/*/functional/*" "tests/*/playwright/*" # no output $ for recipe in bluesky-pds cryptpad custom-html custom-html-tiny discourse drone ghost hedgedoc immich keycloak lasuite-docs lasuite-drive lasuite-meet mailu matrix-synapse mattermost-lts mumble n8n plausible uptime-kuma; do count=$(git ls-files "tests/$recipe/custom/test_*.py" | wc -l); printf "%s %s\n" "$recipe" "$count"; done bluesky-pds 4 cryptpad 4 custom-html 4 custom-html-tiny 1 discourse 3 drone 1 ghost 4 hedgedoc 2 immich 3 keycloak 3 lasuite-docs 5 lasuite-drive 3 lasuite-meet 3 mailu 3 matrix-synapse 3 mattermost-lts 3 mumble 5 n8n 4 plausible 2 uptime-kuma 4 $ nix shell nixpkgs#python311Packages.pytest -c pytest tests/unit/test_discovery.py tests/unit/test_discovery_phase2.py tests/unit/test_manifest.py -q .................. 18 passed in 0.14s ``` Conclusion: the migrated tree still contains the exact same 64 custom test files with the same per-recipe cardinality as the pre-cfold baseline in `BACKLOG-cfold.md`; only the folder paths changed. ## 2026-06-12 — Adversary M1 PASS received Pulled `review(cfold): M1 PASS cold verification` (`4b4d665`). Confirmed in `REVIEW-cfold.md`: - total canonical custom tests = 64 - old tracked `functional/` / `playwright/` trees = none - per-recipe counts match the baseline exactly - focused unit suite = `18 passed` - deprecated-alias warning probe works - normalized `(recipe, filename)` before/after set = exact match (`missing []`, `extra []`) No fix-forward required. Phase advances to M2 baseline assembly. ## 2026-06-12 — M2 sweep snapshot: 19 fresh greens, Ghost upgrade regression remains Bootstrap/access re-checks before the live sweep: ```bash $ ssh cc-ci "hostname && whoami && nixos-version" nixos root 24.11.20250630.50ab793 (Vicuna) $ set -a; . /srv/cc-ci/.testenv; set +a; curl -fsS "https://$GITEA_URL/api/v1/version" {"version":"1.24.2"} $ getent hosts "probe-$RANDOM.ci.commoninternet.net" 91.98.47.73 probe-4360.ci.commoninternet.net ``` Open-PR inventory before triggering uncovered recipes showed 16 enrolled repos already had live PRs; `custom-html`, `keycloak`, `cryptpad`, and `mumble` did not. I reopened reusable closed PRs for the first three (`custom-html#2`, `keycloak#3`, `cryptpad#5`) and created a minimal sweep-only `mumble#1` probe PR via the Gitea API. Fresh post-cfold success set gathered from the live server (`/var/lib/cc-ci-runs//results.json`): ```text 506 drone L5 510 custom-html-tiny L5 521 discourse L5 522 immich L5 523 lasuite-docs L5 524 lasuite-drive L5 525 lasuite-meet L5 526 mailu L5 527 matrix-synapse L5 528 n8n L5 529 mattermost-lts L5 530 plausible L5 531 uptime-kuma L5 541 custom-html L5 553 keycloak L5 554 cryptpad L5 555 hedgedoc L5 556 bluesky-pds L5 558 mumble L5 ``` Ghost is the lone non-green outlier: ```text 557 ghost PR#4 @ d88f5801 -> L1 (install pass, upgrade fail, backup/restore/custom pass) 559 ghost PR#5 @ d42d0f7c -> L1 (same failure shape on last known-green Ghost head) 185 ghost PR#4 @ d42d0f7c -> L4 / pre-lint-era green baseline on 2026-06-05 ``` The critical Ghost comparison is the same ref `d42d0f7c`: - historical build `185` (2026-06-05): upgrade passed at `d42d0f7c` - fresh probe build `559` (2026-06-12): same `d42d0f7c` now fails upgrade with swarm `UpdateStatus='paused'` That isolates the regression away from cfold itself. In both fresh Ghost failures (`557`, `559`), the custom tier still discovered and passed all four `tests/ghost/custom/test_*.py` files, while the upgrade op failed before upgrade assertions could run: ```text !! upgrade op failed: : upgrade redeploy did NOT converge to the head spec — swarm UpdateStatus='paused'. The recipe's app service uses update_config failure_action=rollback/pause; the NEW (head) task failed swarm's update monitor, so the service reverted/paused and the RUNNING spec is the previous version, not the code under test. ``` Adversary update pulled during this pass: - `review(cfold)` commit `93f56ae` added only an idle audit entry to `REVIEW-cfold.md` - no finding filed - no M2 PASS yet because no `claim(cfold): M2 ...` commit exists ## 2026-06-12 — Follow-up Ghost artifact audit (same-ref historical pass vs fresh fail) Focused cold checks after the M2 sweep snapshot: ```bash $ ssh cc-ci "jq '{level,recipe,ref,results,rungs,stages:(.stages|map({name,status}))}' /var/lib/cc-ci-runs/185/results.json" { "level": 4, "recipe": "ghost", "ref": "d42d0f7c7cf9", "results": { "backup": "pass", "custom": "pass", "install": "pass", "restore": "pass", "upgrade": "pass" }, "rungs": { "backup_restore": "pass", "functional": "pass", "install": "pass", "integration": "na", "recipe_local": "na", "upgrade": "pass" }, "stages": [ {"name": "install", "status": "pass"}, {"name": "upgrade", "status": "pass"}, {"name": "backup", "status": "pass"}, {"name": "restore", "status": "pass"}, {"name": "custom", "status": "pass"} ] } $ ssh cc-ci "jq '{level,recipe,stages:(.stages|map({name,status,summary}))}' /var/lib/cc-ci-runs/559/results.json" { "level": 1, "recipe": "ghost", "stages": [ {"name": "install", "status": "pass", "summary": null}, {"name": "backup", "status": "pass", "summary": null}, {"name": "restore", "status": "pass", "summary": null}, {"name": "custom", "status": "pass", "summary": null}, {"name": "lint", "status": "pass", "summary": null} ] } $ ssh cc-ci "grep -R -n \"start_period\" /var/lib/cc-ci-runs/559/abra/recipes/ghost" /var/lib/cc-ci-runs/559/abra/recipes/ghost/compose.yml:60: start_period: 15m /var/lib/cc-ci-runs/559/abra/recipes/ghost/compose.yml:84: start_period: 1m /var/lib/cc-ci-runs/559/abra/recipes/ghost/compose.ccci.yml:35: start_period: 15m /var/lib/cc-ci-runs/559/abra/recipes/ghost/compose.ccci.yml:38: start_period: 15m ``` Conclusion: - Historical build `185` passed the full Ghost lifecycle on the SAME ref now used in probe build `559` (`d42d0f7c7cf9`), so the current M2 blocker is not tied to the `custom/` folder migration. - Fresh failing runs still execute the canonical 4-file `tests/ghost/custom/` suite and pass every non-upgrade stage; the missing upgrade junit output remains the key symptom. - The current repo does not show an obvious cfold-local fix to apply: the Ghost-specific overlay is unchanged, the recipe artifact still carries the expected `compose.ccci.yml` file, and the failure remains in the live upgrade path rather than discovery/custom-test coverage. - Net: cfold remains blocked on a cfold-neutral Ghost upgrade regression / flake. No repo-local code change was justified by that audit alone. ## 2026-06-13 — Ghost PR #3 fresh probe after reopen: same upgrade-only failure, plus duplicate trigger signal I looked for the smallest allowed M2 step that did not touch recipe code: reuse an existing Ghost PR head that had historically gone green and rerun it through the live `!testme` path.

I did not broaden into a D1 investigation in this loop step because cfold M2 is already hard-blocked by Ghost's repeated upgrade failures, but the evidence is now recorded. ## 2026-06-13 — Root-caused Ghost triple-trigger replay; bridge fix authored with unit coverage Pulled the Adversary's latest cfold audit (`review(cfold)` `ddefc96`). It was not an M2 verdict or a finding; it confirmed the sweep is still unclaimable while teardown remains clean (`live_pr_apps=0`). I then closed out the duplicate-run side observation from the Ghost PR #3 retrigger. Evidence: ```bash $ ssh cc-ci 'docker logs --since "2026-06-13T00:07:30" --until "2026-06-13T00:08:30" c54c433972ac 2>&1' [poll] triggered build 568 for ghost@720faa0b (PR #3, comment 14029) by autonomic-bot [poll] triggered build 569 for ghost@720faa0b (PR #3, comment 14032) by autonomic-bot [poll] triggered build 570 for ghost@720faa0b (PR #3, comment 14497) by autonomic-bot $ ssh cc-ci 'docker service ps ccci-bridge_app --no-trunc' # single running replica only; no restart near the incident $ ssh cc-ci 'docker ps --format "{{.ID}} {{.Names}} {{.Status}}" | grep ccci-bridge || true' c54c433972ac ccci-bridge_app.1.u5msezm603izeyf7kizqxq97j Up 22 hours ``` Conclusion: this was NOT one comment id deduped incorrectly inside a single process. It was the poller correctly treating THREE distinct comment ids as unseen after PR #3 was reopened: - `14029` and `14032` were historical `!testme` comments from when PR #3 had been open earlier. - PR #3 was closed when the current bridge process started, so those comments were not covered by the startup pass that marks pre-existing comments seen. - When PR #3 was reopened, the poller saw those old comments for the first time and replayed them, then also processed the fresh comment `14497`. Repo fix authored: - `bridge/bridge.py`: added `_PROCESS_STARTED_AT` and `_is_preexisting_comment()` so the poller now marks any trigger comment older than the current bridge process as already-seen, even if the PR was closed at startup and only becomes visible later via reopen. - `tests/unit/test_bridge_trigger.py`: added focused tests for pre-start vs post-start comment handling.

It does not change the cfold bottom line: Ghost's upgrade tier remains the lone M2 blocker, while custom discovery continues to pass.
