The Docker-SSH e2e lane only ran when a PR's changed specs happened to include
`ssh-startup-exec-readiness.spec.ts` or `paired-startup-exec-readiness.spec.ts`.
Editing SSH source itself did not trigger it, and pruning either spec from a
route's list would have silently retired the whole lane. Meanwhile the sharded
lanes set no `ORCA_E2E_SSH_DOCKER`, so every Docker-gated spec skipped itself
while the shard still reported green -- the exact silent-skip shape
`docs/reference/ssh-reconnect-source-recovery.md` blames for four regressions
that reached users.
Separately, the modules that actually own direct-SSH workspace and tab restore
carry no "ssh" in their names, so the `ssh-terminal-source` route never reached
them. Measured on the real script before this change:
printf '%s\n' src/renderer/src/hooks/remote-workspace-session-merge.ts \
src/main/ipc/remote-workspace-snapshot-normalization.ts \
src/renderer/src/lib/worktree-initial-terminal-seeding.ts \
src/shared/remote-workspace-session-projection.ts \
| node config/scripts/pr-e2e-source-routing.mjs
=> []
Three changes, all pinned by the executable gate contract:
- `hasSshSourceChange` derives an `ssh_source_changed` signal from the SSH
routes themselves, plumbed pr.yml -> e2e.yml, so the lane triggers on source
rather than on a spec name surviving in a list. One list, so the two cannot
drift.
- A sibling `ssh-workspace-session-restore` route names the restore seams
(`remote-workspace-*`, `worktree-initial-terminal-seeding`,
`worktree-default-terminal-tabs`, `initial-terminal`) and routes them to the
two restore specs -- a sibling rather than more paths on `ssh-terminal-source`
so a tab-tombstone edit does not run the whole SSH terminal list.
- A new `test:e2e:ssh-docker` runner claims the remaining Docker-gated specs on
the one VM that sets the flag, and the contract now fails by name when any
Docker-gated spec is claimed by no runner. `ssh-docker-relay-perf` and
`ssh-codex-display-artifacts-repro` are recorded exemptions (wall-clock
budgets; needs a real remote codex binary) and the contract asserts each
exemption still corresponds to a real gated spec, so a stale one cannot
quietly excuse a gap. Lane timeout raised 35 -> 60 minutes for the added
serial specs.
The lane's first act was to surface four latent bugs in a spec that had been
silently skipping. `ssh-docker-bulk-open-freeze-repro.spec.ts` is four call sites
out of date against `tests/e2e/helpers/terminal.ts`: `startDockerSshRelayTarget()`
is called with no argument though the helper dereferences `testInfo.workerIndex`
(a 100% failure, not a flake), `execInTerminal` gained a `ptyId` parameter, and
`splitActiveTerminalPane` gained a direction. It was invisible because it ran
nowhere and `typecheck:e2e` is red on main with 240 pre-existing errors, so four
more could not be seen.
The `testInfo` bug is fixed here -- correct on its own, and it removes one real
error from `typecheck:e2e` (240 -> 239). The other three are not, because they
are not argument plumbing: repairing them requires choosing which ptyId to
capture and which split direction to use, and both change what the repro
measures.
The spec is therefore added to the exemption list rather than repaired, for two
independent reasons recorded in the runner: it is a perf oracle, not a
correctness one (`SOFT_FREEZE_LAG_MS=2500` / `HARD_FREEZE_LAG_MS=5000` measured
under a deliberate 5-pane flood on a 420s budget -- the same rule already applied
to `ssh-docker-relay-perf.spec.ts`), and it is known-rotted. Repair is tracked in
stablyai/orca#16764. Applying an existing written rule to a sibling that plainly
meets it is consistency; inventing a new exemption to dodge a red would not be.
Three hardening fixes to the contract itself:
- Runner text is comment-stripped before the claimed-by-a-lane scan. A substring
scan over raw text lets a spec merely *discussed* in a runner comment count as
claimed -- the silent skip this assertion exists to catch, re-entering through
the documentation. Not live today only because the existing comments write the
spec names without their `tests/e2e/` prefix.
- An exempt spec must not be invoked by any runner. `unreachableSpecs`
short-circuits the unclaimed check, so a spec could be documented as exempt
while a runner still ran it -- an exemption that reads as coverage removal but
changes nothing, leaving the lane red for a reason the file says it excluded.
This is not hypothetical: adding the bulk-open exemption without removing it
from the runner's spec list produced exactly that state, and this assertion is
what caught it.
- The Docker-gate detector is now `/ORCA_E2E_SSH_DOCKER\s*[!=]==\s*['"]1['"]/`
rather than one fixed string, so a double-quoted or `!==` spelling can no
longer escape the contract.
`ssh-restart-tab-accumulation.spec.ts` is a new three-cycle restart fence
asserting tab-id set identity, not just the active pane's reclaimed ptyId as
`ssh-cold-activation-restore.spec.ts:241` did. It passes today; it was validated
by a negative control that injected one tab after cycle 1 and correctly failed.
* Add a Docker SSH watcher-isolation E2E test to verify remote relay-watch
- Covers two scenarios: crashed watcher children are respawned under the
same relay without dropping the terminal PTY or file-explorer view, and
a missing deployed relay-watcher.js artifact is repaired on reconnect
- Extracts shared connect/disconnect/reconnect logic out of the perf spec
into docker-ssh-relay-connection.ts, and adds docker-ssh-relay-processes.ts
for inspecting/signaling remote relay and watcher PIDs
- Wires the new spec into a dedicated CI job and pnpm script
* Fix Windows and Linux-only issues in Docker SSH watcher-isolation E2E ha
- node-gyp override only applies on Linux runners now, since the CI job
moved to ubuntu-latest but shares the workflow with non-Linux jobs
- spawn the e2e runner scripts through a shell on win32 to satisfy
Node's CVE-2024-27980 restriction on unshelled .cmd spawns
- harden relay process row parsing against empty pid/ppid fields so a
vanished /proc entry fails loudly instead of coercing to pid 0
- dedupe the reconnect helpers and export shellQuote for reuse across
the docker-ssh-relay test helpers
