-name: MCP Stdio Transport Regression
-
-# Regression test for molecule-ai-workspace-runtime#61:
-# asyncio.connect_read_pipe / connect_write_pipe fail with
-# ValueError: "Pipe transport is only for pipes, sockets and character devices"
-# when stdout is a regular file (openclaw capture, CI tee, debugging).
-#
-# This workflow reproduces the exact failure mode and verifies the
-# fallback to direct buffer I/O works. It runs on every PR that
-# touches the MCP server or this workflow, plus nightly cron.
-#
-# Why a separate workflow (not folded into ci.yml python-lint):
-#   - The test needs to spawn the MCP server with stdout redirected
-#     to a regular file (not a TTY/pipe), which conflicts with
-#     pytest's own capture mechanism.
-#   - It exercises the actual process spawn path (python a2a_mcp_server.py)
-#     not just unit-test mocks — closer to the real openclaw integration.
-#   - A dedicated workflow surfaces stdio-specific regressions without
-#     coupling to the broader Python test suite's coverage gate.

- * Regression tests for GitHub issue #651 — React error #185:

- *
- * Root cause: ContextMenu's children selector ran `.filter()` inside the
- * Zustand hook, returning a brand-new array reference on every render.
- * Zustand's useSyncExternalStore compared snapshots with Object.is —
- * a new array always differs — so React kept scheduling re-renders,
- * hit the 50-update depth cap, and crashed.
- *
- * Fix: select the stable `nodes` array once, derive children via
- * useMemo outside the store subscription.

- * Tests for buildDeployMap — the pure tree-computation core inside
- * useOrgDeployState.
- *
- * Issue: #742 (buildDeployMap unit tests, #2071 follow-up).
- *
- * The function takes a flat list of NodeProjections and a set of
- * deletingIds, then computes per-node OrgDeployState:
- *   isActivelyProvisioning — node itself is provisioning
- *   isDeployingRoot       — node is a root AND has provisioning descendants
- *   isLockedChild         — node is a deleting child OR a non-root in a deploying tree
- *   descendantProvisioningCount — total provisioning descendants (roots only)
- *
- * Coverage:
- *   §1  Empty input
- *   §2  Single node — no parent, non-provisioning
- *   §3  Single node — no parent, provisioning
- *   §4  Single node — has parent (parent exists)
- *   §5  Parent not in projections → node treated as root
- *   §6  Two nodes: root (non-provisioning) + child
- *   §7  Two nodes: root (provisioning) + child
- *   §8  Three-level tree: grandparent (provisioning) → parent → child
- *   §9  DeletingIds contains a non-root node → isLockedChild=true
- *   §10 DeletingIds contains the root → root isLockedChild=true
- *   §11 Two independent roots, one provisioning
- *   §12 Provisioning count: root has 2 provisioning descendants
- *   §13 Non-root node with provisioning status → isActivelyProvisioning=true
- *   §14 findRoot memoization: repeated calls don't re-walk the chain
- *   §15 deletingIds + provisioning interact: deleting takes isLockedChild
- *   §16 Child of provisioning root (not itself provisioning) → isLockedChild=true
- *   §17 Deep chain (5 levels), no provisioning → all nodes unlocked
- *   §18 Deep chain (5 levels), middle node is provisioning root
- *   §19 Node with parentId pointing to non-existent node → treated as root
