From 4de82bc12ef93fbdeff9f299e3d687b30124d576 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ARTeMobAgents Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 18:33:15 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] test(server): give the description-edit admission poll the same retry budget as its siblings (#17487) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - One subsystem is the chat channel control plane. It admits inbound GitHub mentions and then creates a chat conversation. > - Admission is durable. A transient database error defers the wakeup and retries it later. > - The retry delay has a floor of 1000 ms (`1000 * 2 ** attemptCount` in `server/src/services/chat-channels/inbound/wakeups.ts`). > - One integration test waits 1000 ms for the conversation. Any deferred retry therefore fails the test, although the product works. > - This pull request gives that one wait the same 10 s budget that the neighbouring tests already use. > - The benefit is a stable `chat (2/3)` CI shard. No production code changes. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No public GitHub issue exists for this test defect. This is a bug report. **What happened?** The test "authorizes description edits as the editor, never inheriting the original author's access" failed in CI at `server/src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts:5636`. The assertion was `expected +0 to be 1`. It is an `expect.poll` call without a timeout, so the budget is the 1000 ms default. The server log from the same job shows that the application did not drop the conversation. It shows a deferred admission instead: ``` WARN: accepted inbound chat wakeup will retry {"deliveryId":"..."} caused by: PostgresError: could not obtain lock on row in relation "chat_endpoints" ``` `acceptInboundWakeup` sets `retryAt = now + Math.min(30_000, 1000 * 2 ** Math.min(attemptCount, 5))` on such errors. The floor is 1000 ms. One deferred retry always exceeds the poll budget. **Expected behavior** The test waits long enough for one deferred retry. It then passes, because the conversation is created. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Check out `master`. 2. Run `cd server && ../node_modules/.bin/vitest run src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "authorizes description edits as the editor" --config vitest.config.ts`. 3. Add database contention on the `chat_endpoints` row during the second `send()`, so the first admission attempt fails with `could not obtain lock`. 4. The wakeup is deferred with a 1000 ms delay. The poll stops at 1000 ms and fails. **Paperclip version or commit** `master` at `991c47b`. The failure was observed on a pull request branch that does not change the chat code. **Deployment mode** Local trusted, embedded Postgres test runner. ## What Changed - Add `{ timeout: 10_000 }` to the `expect.poll` call at `server/src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts:5636`. - This matches the three neighbouring tests that poll the same conversation count (lines 5577, 5658, 5721). ## Verification - Before the change, one deferred admission fails the assertion, because the default budget is 1000 ms and the retry floor is 1000 ms. - After the change, on `master` at `991c47b`: ``` cd server && ../node_modules/.bin/vitest run src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts \ -t "authorizes description edits as the editor" --config vitest.config.ts → Test Files 1 passed (1); Tests 1 passed | 1421 skipped (1422) ``` - The complete file was not re-run locally. The targeted test covers the changed assertion. All other lines of the test stay the same. ## Risks - Low risk. The change touches test code only. - A longer budget can hide a slow admission, but only up to 10 s. The neighbouring tests already accept that budget for the same behaviour. - A real loss of the conversation still fails the test. ## Model Used - Provider: OpenCode. Model: `deepseek-v4.1-flash-free`. Context window: 200K. Modes: tool use, code execution, file access.
