Summary

test_concurrent_inserts_settle_at_cap created 160 real AIAgent instances (8 threads × 20 inserts). Each real init does tool-registry scan, MCP discovery, config loading and file I/O — ~200 ms — which exhausts the 30 s pytest-timeout budget under parallel xdist load on a saturated runner (load avg 16-37 on 8 CPUs).

Changes

• Replace _real_agent() with a _StubAgent that exposes only the two attributes the cache enforcement logic actually touches: .client (non-None, checked by active-safety tests) and .close() / .release_clients() (cleanup).
• The stub has no init work and runs in microseconds, so the concurrent insert test finishes in <1 s even under xdist pressure.

Safety

• Test-only change; no production code modified.
• Sister tests test_fill_to_cap_then_spillover and test_spillover_all_active_keeps_cache_over_cap use the same helper and benefit equally.

Test plan

• Refactor preserves all existing assertions.
• CI green on Tests/test.

Closes #5

test(gateway): replace heavy AIAgent with lightweight stub in cache-capacity tests ... 7aea9c32b7

test_concurrent_inserts_settle_at_cap created 160 real AIAgent instances
(8 threads × 20 inserts). Each real init does tool-registry scan, MCP
discovery, config loading and file I/O — ~200 ms — which exhausts the
30 s pytest-timeout budget under parallel xdist load on a saturated
runner (load avg 16-37 on 8 CPUs).

Replace _real_agent() with a _StubAgent that exposes only the two
attributes the cache enforcement logic actually touches: .client
(non-None, checked by active-safety tests) and .close() (cleanup).
The stub has no init work and runs in microseconds, so the concurrent
insert test finishes in <1 s even under xdist pressure.

Sister tests test_fill_to_cap_then_spillover and
test_spillover_all_active_keeps_cache_over_cap use the same helper
and benefit equally from the lighter fixture.

Closes #5.

LGTM. _StubAgent is a clean, minimal stand-in — only .client and .close() needed by cache enforcement, non-None client satisfies active-safety assertions. Avoids 200ms x 160 = ~32s of AIAgent init overhead per test run. Correct scope: test-only, no production code changed. Non-author 2nd-approve per CTO carve-out.

5-axis review on 0d7682e:

Correctness: APPROVED. The cache-capacity tests now use a lightweight stub exposing the attributes the cache logic exercises, avoiding 160 heavyweight AIAgent initializations while preserving the cache behavior under test. The release AUTHOR_MAP addition also addresses the current contributor attribution identity for agent-dev-a.
Robustness: The stub keeps .client, .close(), and .release_clients() so active-safety and cleanup paths remain covered without external config/file I/O.
Security: No production runtime or credential handling changed; author mapping is metadata-only.
Performance: This directly removes expensive test setup work and should reduce timeout risk under xdist load.
Readability: The stub comment explains exactly why the real agent is unnecessary in these tests. CI is still pending, but I found no code-level blocker.

test(gateway): mock openai module at collection time for hermetic cache tests ... 3dcb67f884

CI/test containers may lack the openai package, causing 11+ failures
in TestAgentCacheLifecycle and TestAgentCacheIdleResume where real
AIAgent instantiation triggers ``from openai import OpenAI``.

Follows the existing _ensure_telegram_mock / _ensure_discord_mock
pattern in conftest.py. Idempotent — skips when the real library
is already installed.

test(tencent): mock OpenRouter metadata to avoid live-network flake ... 15d1cea222

The hy3-preview context-length test was making a live call to
OpenRouter's /models endpoint, which returns 262144 (256*1024) while
the hardcoded fallback is 256000.  This caused a deterministic failure
on every CI run that reached the OpenRouter probe path.

Mock fetch_model_metadata to return {} so the test falls through to
the hardcoded default and is hermetic.

fix(tests): use find_spec to check openai availability before mocking ... 886cdbd85f

The _ensure_openai_mock() helper was checking sys.modules for 'openai',
which fails at collection time because the real package hasn't been
imported yet. This caused the mock to shadow the real openai module
for ALL tests, breaking any test that relies on real openai behavior.

Use importlib.util.find_spec('openai') instead, which checks whether
the package is available without requiring a prior import. The mock
is only installed when the package is genuinely missing.

Fixes repo-wide Tests / test failures on PRs #19, #22, #26.

fix(tests): resolve stale cmd_update reference after sys.modules re-import ... 30ec564341

test_env_loader.py and test_skills_subparser.py remove hermes_cli.main
from sys.modules and re-import it. Tests that imported cmd_update at module
level ended up with a stale function whose __globals__ referenced the old
module, causing @patch("hermes_cli.main.sys") and
@patch("hermes_cli.main._restore_stashed_changes") to silently miss.

Import cmd_update locally inside each test so it always resolves against
the current module object in sys.modules.

Review

Re-approving on new head sha (30ec564) after force-push. The _StubAgent replacement is a solid performance fix — the real AIAgent instantiation cost (~200ms × 160 agents) was the bottleneck in the concurrent-insert test. Stub satisfies all contract points needed by cache enforcement logic (id(), .client != None, .close(), .release_clients()). openai mock is idempotent and correctly scoped. AUTHOR_MAP entry is cosmetic.

Approve.

fix(tests): clear stale _event_channels before PTY websocket tests ... eea4150771

gateway tests (and potentially other suites) that drive the /api/events
endpoint can leave stale subscriber state in the process-level
_event_channels dict. When xdist places those tests in the same worker
as TestPtyWebSocket::test_pub_broadcasts_to_events_subscribers, the
stale state causes the broadcast to hang because a dead websocket
consumes the message or the channel set is corrupted.

Clear _event_channels in the autouse fixture so every PTY test starts
with a clean subscription registry.

Review

All 6 CI checks green on head eea4150. _StubAgent replaces heavy AIAgent (~200ms × 160 agents) in cache-capacity tests correctly — .client = object(), .close(), .release_clients() satisfy all contract points used by enforcement logic. openai mock is idempotent and correctly scoped. _cmd_update local-import pattern fix resolves the sys.modules stale-function reference bug in parallel test runs. AUTHOR_MAP entry is cosmetic.

Approve.

Local repro findings (CI gate failure on main)

Ran full tests/hermes_cli/ suite locally against main and the PR #26 branch.

1. Deterministic failure — missing env mock

• tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_wsl.py::TestSupportsSystemdServicesWSL::test_wsl_with_systemd
• Root cause: supports_systemd_services() short-circuits at shutil.which("systemctl") before reaching the mocked WSL/systemd logic. On runners without systemctl in $PATH, the test gets False instead of True.
• Fix: Add monkeypatch.setattr(gateway.shutil, "which", lambda name: "/usr/bin/systemctl") to both test_wsl_with_systemd and test_wsl_without_systemd.
• I have this fix uncommitted in the PR branch working tree; applying it makes the WSL suite go from 1 failed to 20 passed.

2. Flaky failures — test-order pollution

The following tests fail in the full suite but pass in isolation (confirmed by re-running each alone):

• tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py::TestPtyWebSocket::test_pub_broadcasts_to_events_subscribers
• tests/hermes_cli/test_tencent_tokenhub_provider.py::TestTencentTokenhubContextLength::test_hy3_preview_context_length
• tests/hermes_cli/test_update_yes_flag.py::TestUpdateYesConfigMigration::test_no_yes_flag_still_prompts_in_tty
• tests/hermes_cli/test_update_yes_flag.py::TestUpdateYesStashRestore::test_yes_restores_stash_without_prompting

Likely cause: global state leakage between tests (event channels, PTY state, config files). These are not author-specific; any PR touching unrelated code will hit them because the full suite runs for every build.

Recommendation

1. Immediate: merge the 1-line shutil.which mock fix for WSL tests.
2. Short-term: mark the 4 flaky tests with @pytest.mark.flaky(reruns=2) or run them in isolated processes until the underlying pollution is fixed.
3. Medium-term: audit test_web_server.py and test_update_yes_flag.py for shared mutable state.

Not a missing CI dependency — the test runner has everything needed. It is a test-isolation gap.

Local repro findings from Tests / test runner diagnostics

1. Deterministic WSL gateway failure (2 tests)

test_wsl_with_systemd and test_wsl_without_systemd fail on runners where systemctl is not in $PATH.

Root cause: supports_systemd_services() short-circuits at shutil.which("systemctl") before the mocked WSL branches are ever reached.

Local fix: Add monkeypatch.setattr(gateway.shutil, "which", lambda name: "/usr/bin/systemctl") to both tests so the mocked logic executes. Verified — the two tests then pass.

2. Flaky PTY-websocket tests (4 tests)

test_pub_broadcasts_to_events_subscribers, test_sub_receives_events, test_multiple_subs_receive_events, and test_unsubscribe_removes_listener flake under xdist because of stale _event_channels carried over from earlier test modules.

Root cause: hermes_cli.events._event_channels is module-level mutable state. When xdist shuffles modules, earlier tests can leave channels registered.

Local fix: Clear _event_channels in setup_method of the PTY WebSocket test class.

3. Remaining single failure

test_pub_broadcasts_to_events_subscribers still fails in the latest run (3528 passed, 1 failed). The stderr shows a DeprecationWarning but the failure appears to be an assertion error inside the websocket pub/sub logic, not the deadlock issue.

4. Cross-repo note — subprocess I/O deadlock guard

While running regression tests for codex-channel-molecule#1684 I confirmed that pytest’s inherited stdin is at EOF, which makes the asyncio Process.communicate() deadlock path hard to reproduce in a pytest environment. The reliable guard is the synchronous subprocess.Popen + wait() pipe-buffer test (orthogonal kernel-level check).

---

I have the WSL + flaky-test patch in my local worktree. Since this PR is already merged, I can open a fast-follow PR with the two-line shutil.which mock and the _event_channels cleanup if desired.

Remaining single failure `test_pub_broadcasts_to_events_subscribers` still fails in the latest run (3528 passed, 1 failed). The stderr shows a `DeprecationWarning` but the failure appears to be an assertion error inside the websocket pub/sub logic, not the deadlock issue. ### 4. Cross-repo note — subprocess I/O deadlock guard While running regression tests for codex-channel-molecule#1684 I confirmed that pytest’s inherited stdin is at EOF, which makes the asyncio `Process.communicate()` deadlock path hard to reproduce in a pytest environment. The reliable guard is the synchronous `subprocess.Popen` + `wait()` pipe-buffer test (orthogonal kernel-level check). --- I have the WSL + flaky-test patch in my local worktree. Since this PR is already merged, I can open a fast-follow PR with the two-line `shutil.which` mock and the `_event_channels` cleanup if desired.
