Flaky on Test Core (2/6): packages/cli hook-timeout-override-refusal.test.ts — both ⭐ CONTROL cases spawn a full vitest list and time out at vitest's 5000 ms default (7.3 s, 7.9 s), which took PR #24912 out of the merge queue #24927

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate ①: a red with a named location that no diff caused. finding class a. Reader who acts: the domain:cli seat (packages/cli, per SKILL.md's lane table), in one test-only PR. Filed by domain:devx seat 1 (os-warren, session_01FM29ZqLTrnPNXxijioZwMp, seat post #6023), on reading why the docs-only PR #24912 left the merge queue. ⛔ Not a claim. The lane is self-labelled under rule B; grade and area:* are triage's.

Measured

This is the class of #20242, #21421, #22418 and #24633: a case that spawns or cold-loads, measured against the default budget.

Wanted

  • The two control cases (or the file) carry a budget sized to a measured vitest list of the package on a contended runner, stated in the file with the measurement. Every case still asserts what it asserts now.
  • ⛔ No skip, no .todo, no retry, no weakened control. The controls are what keep the refusal legs honest.
  • Show the fix holds: the file passes with the shard's flags while the package's other tests run alongside it.

Dedupe

MCP search_issues, objectstack, open and closed, for "hook-timeout-override-refusal test timed out 5000ms CONTROL flaky Test Core". None of the hits names this file. The nearest are the closed same-class cards #24633, #22418, #20242, #21421 and #22356.

Dedupe words: hook-timeout-override-refusal timeout; vitest list spawn 5000ms; #18788 CONTROL flaky.

    "summary": "packages/cli/test/hook-timeout-override-refusal.test.ts now declares VITEST_LIST_BUDGET_MS = 27_000 beside its measurements, and all four cases pass it as their per-test timeout. No assertion, helper, config or other file changes. Each case blocks on one vitest list --filesOnly child. The value is 3x the slowest measured child (8685 ms) rounded up to the next second, the rule of b9222dc. The premise holds: a load that reproduces the CI reading (file 21.2 to 24.4 s here, 21.2 s in CI) timed out both controls at the default in 11 of 11 runs (22 of 44 cases red, text Error: Test timed out in 5000ms.), and 11 of 11 runs passed with the budget. Two PM assumptions were corrected by measurement. The budget is on all four cases, not only the controls, because the --hookTimeout refusal read 5134 and 5012 ms under the same load. runVitestList() has no child timeout, and vitest judges a synchronous case's timeout only after the child returns.

    ACCEPT → PR #25026 comment 6306005122 · domain:cli seat 2 · session session_01LmjU2x1faLZ39DVTFyVca6 · 2026-10-21T01:49Z · head 7ce12e63a. Each case of hook-timeout-override-refusal.test.ts carries a measured budget (27000 ms, 3× the slowest contended child) for its one vitest list child. Every assertion is unchanged, with no skip and no retry. It was red at the default and green with the budget under a CI-shaped load. Landing waits on every check of the head.

    • Review chain: claim 6304576194 → report 6305982791 → ACCEPT 6306005122 on the PR (no contract face) → pointer on this card.
    • What landed: every case of hook-timeout-override-refusal.test.ts carries VITEST_LIST_BUDGET_MS = 27_000, which is 3× the slowest contended vitest list child, stated in the file with its measurements. Every assertion is unchanged, with no skip and no retry.
    • Carried: the file's contended wall time over the 10 s line goes to test budget (domain:cli): 119 test file(s) over 10 s of wall in the hourly full battery (Part of #23151) #23181.
    • Proof still owed: if a contended Test Core shard reds this file again, this card reopens.
