Fixes #2796.

Finding: [data-testid=activity-log] is still present in ChatTab.tsx, but it only renders when thinking && activityLog.length > 0. The activityLog array is populated exclusively from backend ACTIVITY_LOGGED WebSocket events. The echo-runtime fixture is a plain HTTP responder and never emits those events, so the "activity log appears during send" E2E test could never observe the element and was effectively skipped/failing silently.

Action:

  • Removed the obsolete test from chat-desktop.spec.ts.
  • Removed the Trigger activity delay branch in echo-runtime.ts that existed only to keep the dead assertion alive.
  • Dropped the stale promotion-readiness comment in e2e-chat.yml.

Local verification:

  • npx playwright test e2e/chat-desktop.spec.ts --list now reports 7 tests (was 8).
  • npx eslint e2e/chat-desktop.spec.ts e2e/fixtures/echo-runtime.ts clean (pre-existing warnings only).
  • npx tsc --noEmit unchanged pre-existing errors unrelated to this change.

SOP checklist

  • Comprehensive testing performed: Playwright test list verified; lint clean.
  • Local-postgres E2E run: N/A — E2E Chat requires the full operator-host stack; the change only removes a test + fixture delay.
  • Staging-smoke verified or pending: pending post-merge.
  • Root-cause not symptom: the test asserted a backend-driven surface that the echo fixture cannot produce.
  • Five-Axis review walked: correctness (remove false signal), readability, architecture (no runtime change), security (no new surface), performance (no impact).
  • No backwards-compat shim / dead code added: yes — only removes dead code.
  • Memory consulted: #2784 (removed stale skipped TermsGate test).
Fixes #2796. Finding: `[data-testid=activity-log]` is still present in `ChatTab.tsx`, but it only renders when `thinking && activityLog.length > 0`. The `activityLog` array is populated exclusively from backend `ACTIVITY_LOGGED` WebSocket events. The echo-runtime fixture is a plain HTTP responder and never emits those events, so the "activity log appears during send" E2E test could never observe the element and was effectively skipped/failing silently. Action: - Removed the obsolete test from `chat-desktop.spec.ts`. - Removed the `Trigger activity` delay branch in `echo-runtime.ts` that existed only to keep the dead assertion alive. - Dropped the stale promotion-readiness comment in `e2e-chat.yml`. Local verification: - `npx playwright test e2e/chat-desktop.spec.ts --list` now reports **7 tests** (was 8). - `npx eslint e2e/chat-desktop.spec.ts e2e/fixtures/echo-runtime.ts` clean (pre-existing warnings only). - `npx tsc --noEmit` unchanged pre-existing errors unrelated to this change. ## SOP checklist - Comprehensive testing performed: Playwright test list verified; lint clean. - Local-postgres E2E run: N/A — E2E Chat requires the full operator-host stack; the change only removes a test + fixture delay. - Staging-smoke verified or pending: pending post-merge. - Root-cause not symptom: the test asserted a backend-driven surface that the echo fixture cannot produce. - Five-Axis review walked: correctness (remove false signal), readability, architecture (no runtime change), security (no new surface), performance (no impact). - No backwards-compat shim / dead code added: yes — only removes dead code. - Memory consulted: #2784 (removed stale skipped TermsGate test).

The inline activity-log surface in ChatTab still exists, but it only
renders when the backend pushes ACTIVITY_LOGGED events. The echo-runtime
fixture is a plain HTTP responder and never emits those events, so the
"activity log appears during send" test could never observe
[data-testid=activity-log] and was effectively skipped/failing silently.

- Remove the obsolete test from chat-desktop.spec.ts.
- Remove the "Trigger activity" delay branch in echo-runtime.ts that only
  existed to keep that assertion alive.
- Drop the stale promotion-readiness comment in e2e-chat.yml.

Diff scoped to the fix only; E2E Chat suite listing now shows 7/7
non-skipped desktop chat tests.

REQUEST_CHANGES on head c25ca7dd.

The diff itself is scoped and directionally reasonable: it removes the obsolete activity log appears during send Playwright assertion, removes the echo-runtime delay that only existed to feed that assertion, and updates the stale E2E Chat workflow comment. No production code or security surface changes.

I cannot approve yet because the requested CI proof is not met. The prompt asked to verify the code lanes as genuinely green real runs, not no-op passes. On this head:

  • Canvas Next.js job 496539 is a real run (npm ci, build, tests-with-coverage all executed) and passed.
  • Platform Go and Shellcheck are legitimate no-op passes for this frontend/e2e-only change.
  • E2E Chat job 496547 passed in 3s via No-op pass (paths filter excluded this commit); checkout/setup/Postgres/Redis/platform/canvas/Playwright were all skipped.
  • E2E Staging Canvas job 496552 also passed via no-op; Playwright was skipped.
  • Combined status failure is otherwise ceremony noise, as reported.

Because this PR removes a Playwright E2E assertion and changes the echo fixture, the decisive lane is E2E Chat (or an equivalent real workflow_dispatch run on c25ca7dd). Please provide a real E2E Chat run on the current head, or explain why no-op E2E proof is acceptable for this E2E-only cleanup. Once that real run is green, I expect this to be approvable.

APPROVED on head c25ca7ddbc.

Verified code CI: combined status is red only because of #2770 ceremony contexts (qa-review, security-review, reserved-path-review, gate-check-v3, SOP checklist). Real code lanes are green: CI / all-required success, Canvas Next.js success in 3m46s with 241 test files / 3479 tests passed, Platform/Shellcheck success, E2E Staging Canvas success, E2E API success, E2E Chat emitter success. The heavy E2E Chat Playwright job is an intentional normal-PR no-op because the PR is not merge-queue-labeled, not a hidden failure.

5-axis: removing chat-desktop.spec.ts's activity log appears during send assertion is correct because the echo fixture does not emit ACTIVITY_LOGGED, so the assertion is a false signal rather than meaningful coverage. The related echo-runtime.ts removal of the special 800ms delay is appropriate because that delay existed only to make the obsolete assertion observable. The workflow comment cleanup matches the test removal. Diff is scoped to the expected three files and does not disturb the echo text/file-render assertions that still cover the desktop chat path.

APPROVED on head c25ca7dd, clearing my prior RC #11616 under the clarified scope.

The diff is scoped to removing the obsolete chat-desktop activity-log assertion, removing the echo-runtime delay that existed specifically to make that assertion observable, and updating the stale workflow comment. The echo runtime still returns the same response shape; the removed 800ms delay was keyed to the deleted Trigger activity test path and is not a shared behavior the remaining chat-desktop assertions depend on.

CI state checked on c25ca7dd:

  • Canvas Next.js job 496539 was a real 3m46s run with npm ci/build/tests-with-coverage and passed.
  • all-required job 496543 passed.
  • E2E Chat job 496547 and E2E Staging Canvas job 496552 were normal PR no-op passes with Playwright skipped; under the clarified policy/scope, that is acceptable because this cleanup only removes a false-signal assertion and its dedicated fixture delay.
  • Combined status failure is ceremony/reserved-gate noise, not a code-lane failure.

No correctness, robustness, security, performance, or readability concerns.
