DottaandPaperclip 676d3ec8d4 perf(ci): reuse package downloads and overlap runtime checks (#16474)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip contributors wait for CI before delivering changes.
> - Build still finishes last after #16460.
> - CI already downloads the public npm graph while the build runs.
> - Bundled-package preparation ignores that cache and downloads the
same archives again.
> - Reuse the existing cache and overlap independent runtime checks
while preserving fresh installs, integrity, offline lifecycle and
admission verification.
> - Measure staging and the full workflow separately.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16460 and #16434. This is a focused follow-up to merged #16460,
now based directly on master.

**Current behavior:**
The Build workflow warms `PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_INSTALL_NPM_CACHE`, but
`startBundledInstalls` inherits the host's default npm cache. Server
staging took 31.17 seconds in the latest passing run, before packing and
the clean consumer install.

**Proposed behavior:**
Pass the verifier environment, including the explicitly configured warm
cache, to the three existing staging children. Without an explicit
shared cache, keep the usual producer npm configuration.

**Alternatives considered:**
Copying an installed dependency tree would bypass normal fresh
installation. Adding jobs would add setup cost. This change reuses only
npm's integrity-checked download cache. It does not remove coverage or
change product behavior and does not overlap a roadmap feature. Open PR
title search found no equivalent cache wiring change.

## What Changed

- Initialize the existing consumer cache before package staging and
expose it to producer npm only when explicitly configured.
- Pass that environment to the existing bundled-install children.
- Extend the child orchestration check to verify cache propagation and
document the cache boundary.
- Start Pi setup after the offline lifecycle, in its own download
sandbox, while Codex and Grok probes run in separate offline sandboxes.
Join successful Pi setup before lock verification and Pi admission. Name
and clean up only the verifier-owned setup container.

## Verification

- 33 focused public-install, closure and child-orchestration tests pass
on Node 24.21.0.
- A real server dependency staging experiment used
`prepare-bundled-package.mjs`, its actual manifests, provider overrides
and release patches. Built application payloads were omitted from this
dependency-only measurement.
- Cold cache: **16.139s**. After the actual CI warm-up script:
**6.980s**. A fully warm producer cache took **6.127s**. These are local
sequential measurements, not a CI wall-clock claim; filesystem warmth
and registry timing vary.
- All **28,329 files/links**, including both lockfiles, were
byte-identical between the cold output and the actual-workflow-warm
output.
- The warm-up itself took 49.631s; CI already runs it during Rust
restore/build. This change adds no warm-up operation.
- First follow-up run [passed all 48
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38791277425),
and Greptile gave the cache-only head 5/5. Server staging fell **31.172s
→ 17.565s** and total staging **70.169s → 54.869s**. But complete CI was
**8m20s**, slower than the parent's 8m04s; longer Codex/Pi probe times
outweighed that saving. This is not a full-run speed improvement claim.
- The next revision overlaps the independent probes instead of
serializing Pi setup behind them. All 46 focused sandbox, staging,
closure and process-supervision tests pass, including failed background
children, parent exit and cancellation. Pre-retarget head `590873a44`
passes all 48 jobs and Greptile 5/5 with no review findings. After
#16460 merged, head `fe4f8d38e` incorporates master and retargets this
PR directly to master. Its diff remains only four
optimization/documentation/test files; 46 focused checks pass again.
Fresh full CI and review are pending. The unchanged parent
conflict-resolution run passed all 48 jobs in 8m04s:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38789785045.

Final paired runs against the same updated master, both on
`m7i-flex.xlarge`:

| Measurement | Parent #16460 | This PR |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Bundled server staging | 22.220s | 14.202s |
| All package staging | 61.277s | 48.304s |
| Clean consumer install | 67.617s | 73.490s |
| Pi setup remaining wait | 25.428s (serial setup) | 20.719s |
| Build job | 385s | 368s |
| Build start after workflow creation | 23s | 136s |
| Entire workflow, including admission and aggregates | 452s (7m32s) |
552s (9m12s) |

[Parent
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38792983313),
[final
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38792986392).

Build execution improved by **17s (4.4%)** in this pair. The total
workflow did **not** improve: it waited 113 seconds longer to start
Build, and other lanes/aggregates also contribute. The overlapping setup
ran for 25.667s while Codex/Grok took 4.946s, leaving 20.719s to wait.
Actual installed Codex, Grok and Pi checks all passed with zero provider
calls. These are individual samples with filesystem/network/CPU
variance, not a claimed steady-state average. The earlier slower
cache-only run is retained above. No tests were removed and no jobs were
added.

## Risks

Shared-cache contention can reduce the benefit if warm-up is still
running. npm handles concurrent content-addressed cache writers and
checks integrity; misses still download normally. Two runtime containers
can now overlap and contend for host resources; the full CI run measures
that tradeoff. They retain separate network policies and per-container
bounds. Pi writes only its provider assets and a private receipt; the
other probes inspect Codex/Grok. No installed tree, lock, test result or
build output is reused. The consumer still starts empty and performs the
full lifecycle and runtime checks. Normal unconfigured producer cache
behavior is preserved.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, execution and
GitHub tools. The serving model suffix and context capacity are not
exposed to this session.

DottaandPaperclip 307eb16c0c perf(ci): avoid duplicate extraction in public install checks (#16460)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents for work.
> - Contributors wait for CI before they can deliver changes.
> - After #16434, Build is the longest CI job.
> - Its clean public npm install spends about 90 seconds installing
packed artifacts.
> - npm extracts local archives to read metadata before it installs
them.
> - Serve metadata from those same packed artifacts, then let normal npm
verify and install their bytes once.
> - Preserve the offline lifecycle and runtime checks, and measure the
complete workflow.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16434 and #16429.

**Current behavior:** The Linux Build check installs every staged
package by local tarball path. npm's file fetcher extracts an archive to
obtain its manifest. Installation then extracts it again. In the last
green run, Build took 408 seconds; consumer installation took 89.7
seconds. The full workflow took 8m06s.

**Proposed behavior:** Read manifests directly from the packed archives.
Serve those manifests and their SHA-512-bound tarballs from a temporary
registry on container loopback. Use normal npm installation into the
empty consumer. Other packages still resolve from the public npm
registry.

**Alternatives:** More parallel jobs would add setup and transfer work.
Skipping the install or runtime probes would remove useful coverage.
This change removes duplicate extraction instead. It does not add a
product feature or duplicate a roadmap item.

## What Changed

- Build a registry catalog from the actual tarball manifests and archive
hashes.
- Run the short-lived registry and npm in the existing unprivileged
download container. No host port is exposed.
- Preserve public dependency tarball URLs, archive integrity checks,
disabled initial lifecycle scripts, the offline rebuild, lock checks and
all Codex, Grok and Pi probes.
- Close the registry before offline verification. Keep native ARM and
Mac install qualification unchanged.
- Add real npm parity and failure tests. Record metadata preparation
time in the existing timing receipt.
- Fix an existing policy false positive: the filename
`docker-compose-secrets.test.mjs` is not a workflow credential. Inspect
GitHub expressions and retain rejection of Honeycomb keys, dot/bracket
secret reads and `toJSON(secrets)`.

## Verification

- 31 focused install-contract checks pass on Node 24.21.0. All 16
targeted CI profile-policy tests also pass.
- Real npm file and registry installs produce identical installed files,
bundled dependencies, optional dependencies and executable links. Both
defer lifecycle execution; offline rebuild works after the registry
closes and preserves the lock.
- npm rejects an archive whose gzip header changes while its extracted
payload remains valid. The CLI propagates the failure.
- The permanent real-npm parity test now includes non-catalog
`is-number@7.0.0`. Both paths install it from its official npmjs
tarball, and the test asserts the lock URL. Fetches have a 10-second
bound and no retries. This addresses the first Greptile finding. A
separate live probe also confirmed public provenance.
- The first local run hit the host sandbox's loopback `EPERM`; the same
checks passed with local listener access. An initial corrupted-gzip
negative fixture hit decompression failure before integrity
verification; the final fixture preserves valid gzip and specifically
proves integrity rejection. An old command-shape assertion was updated
for the new entry point without removing its ordering checks.
- The [first CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38778371043)
passed all test lanes and Build, but the existing credential-guard false
positive failed policy and both aggregates. Its 7m25s full duration is
**not** counted as a passing performance sample. The guard repair and
public-download regression are on the new head.
- The real Linux install passed all 18 packed packages, the lifecycle
sentinel, offline rebuild, unchanged lock, official Codex payload/lease
checks, Grok missing/present checks and Pi admission. The receipt
confirms `artifactTransport: loopback-registry`. No provider calls ran.
- Compared with the previous green run, consumer install fell **89.72s →
66.29s** (26.1%), including 1.87s to prepare metadata. Build fell **408s
→ 374s**. Both Build hosts were `m7i-flex.xlarge`; these are separate
runs, so registry/cache and upstream changes remain confounders.
- The base advanced since the previous 8m06s run, including runtime and
test changes. Treat that duration as historical context, not an
identical-source control.
- Pre-conflict head `d8f9de1c` [passes all 48 workflow
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38779549190),
including both required branch-protection checks. Greptile is **5/5** on
this head; its review thread is resolved. The non-required Superagent
Security Scan is still running.

| Measurement | Previous green run | Final green run | Observed change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Full CI, workflow creation through final aggregate | 8m06s | **7m35s**
| **31s shorter (6.4%)** |
| Build job execution | 408s | **389s** | **19s shorter** |
| Clean consumer install, including catalog preparation | 89.72s |
**69.69s** | **20.03s less (22.3%)** |

The final catalog preparation took 1.87s and is included in the install
figure. Both Build hosts were `m7i-flex.xlarge`. Build began 42 seconds
after workflow creation instead of 53 seconds in the historical run, so
faster queue/setup admission explains part of the 31-second total.
Upstream code also advanced; these measurements are not a controlled
causal estimate of the complete gain. The two candidate install
measurements (66.29s and 69.69s) support the narrower reduction in
install work. No tests or runtime probes were removed.

- Conflict-resolution head `ea8287b81` [passes all 48 workflow
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38789785045),
including both required gates. Greptile re-reviewed this exact head at
5/5, with the sole earlier thread resolved. The conflict was the
independent filename-policy fix; the stronger expression guard is
retained. This run took **8m04s** overall, Build 423s, consumer
installation 80.56s and bundled-server staging 31.17s. This confirms
meaningful run variance: the earlier 7m35s is a sample, not a guaranteed
new wall-clock duration.

- A second independent master update touched the same credential test.
Final head `1c740b73e` resolves that conflict while retaining the same
stronger guard. [All 48 jobs
pass](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38792983313);
Greptile re-reviewed this exact head at 5/5. This run took **7m32s**
overall, Build **385s**, consumer install **67.62s**. Auto-merge is
enabled but GitHub requires code-owner approval.

## Risks

The initial install now uses registry package specs instead of file
specs. The parity test checks the resulting installed bytes. Full CI
must still exercise real bundled provider graphs and all offline probes.
The temporary consumer lock contains loopback artifact URLs; it is not
exported or reused for another installation. Native release consumers
retain their existing artifact install path. Queue, host and cache
variance limit attribution from separate workflow runs.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, execution and
GitHub tools. The serving model suffix and context capacity are not
exposed to this session.

DottaandPaperclip 68a09dcb5f perf(ci): shorten the test execution critical path (#16434)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Contributors wait for the full PR workflow before they can deliver
fixes.
> - Server shards still execute independent files in series, and a
single Runner file serializes two long real-clock waits.
> - Faster work outside the critical path does not prove a faster
workflow.
> - Overlap independent files while preserving isolation, test cases and
real production deadlines.
> - Compare complete baseline and candidate workflows, separating queue
delay from execution cost.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16429. Related duration refresh: #12577.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The elapsed time from PR CI creation to the last required check.

**Current behavior**

General server shards use one worker. One Runner transport file takes
about 333 seconds on Linux, including over 100 seconds in two real-clock
regressions. These are the longest verification lanes after #16429.

**Proposed behavior**

Run independent general-server files in at most two isolated forks. Move
the two intact Runner deadline regressions into a separate file to
overlap their waits in the existing pool. Run two chat partitions per
existing job, each with its own temporary home and embedded PostgreSQL.
Preserve serial execution within files and every assertion and timing
boundary.

## What Changed

- Qualify both serial and parallel forks with real worker processes,
isolated homes/configuration, timers, globals and environment.
- Require both parallel workers to arrive before either exits.
- Use two isolated forks for sharded general-server tests; retain one
worker with an explicit shared test database. Other test groups keep
their existing concurrency.
- Extract the lease-expiry and Pi cold-admission regressions verbatim
into a separate Runner test file; retain real waits and process/lease
assertions.
- Split each sharded chat job into two independent invocations; preserve
serial shared-database execution. Await both children before failing the
parent. Prove disjoint coverage and failure propagation.
- Update the paired Linux benchmark to compare a complete general-server
shard with identical case inventories.
- Document concurrency and deadline-test placement. No production
behavior, workflow topology or runner count changes.
- Allow 15 seconds for snapshot integration cases that cold-start
multiple real TypeScript workers. On the repeat, one-worker cases took
2.5–3 seconds, so queued or sequential starts could exceed the default
five seconds. Preserve all cleanup, queue-release and filesystem
assertions; these cases do not enforce a production latency deadline.

## Verification

All 48 jobs passed on scheduling head `5d718e18` in [attempt
1](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38763885288/attempts/1).
The [bounded
repeat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38763885288/attempts/2)
failed two existing snapshot-worker tests at their default five-second
timeout. Its shorter duration is **not** counted as a successful
performance sample. The latest head `3c894462` adds a targeted
test-budget repair and [passes all 48 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38768433532)
in **8m06s** (workflow creation to final required workflow job). This is
**70 seconds / 12.6% shorter** than the 9m16s intermediate run, but the
earlier 9m23s result remains part of the evidence: a stable average
improvement is not established. Both branch-protection checks (`ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e`) pass. The non-required Superagent Security Scan
is still running; external PR scans are separate from this workflow
duration.

| Measurement | Before | After | What it establishes |
| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| General-server shard, paired on one Linux host | 430.94s | 292.99s |
32.0% faster; identical 1,047 case inventory |
| Chat job 1 | 460s | 211s | Same full chat inventory spread across
isolated partitions |
| Chat job 2 | 408s | 274s | Serial cases within each child, separate
PostgreSQL instances |
| Chat job 3 | 408s | 216s | Total chat runner time fell from 1,276s to
701s |
| Full PR workflow, first chat candidate | 9m16s | 9m23s | Not an
end-to-end win in this pair: unchanged Build rose from 365s to 465s |
| Full PR workflow, final repaired head | 9m16s | 8m06s | All 48 jobs
pass; 70 seconds faster observed, not a controlled causal estimate |

- Latest [paired
benchmark](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38763885223)
passes. Earlier paired server measurements were 33.3% and 37.4% faster.
Unchanged fixture timing noise is not attributed to this PR.
- All **1,337 chat case identities and outcomes match exactly** across
[before-chat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38760937988)
and
[after-chat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38763885288/attempts/1),
without duplicates or removals. Whole-suite records rose from 44,563 to
44,574: three new launcher checks and eight upstream warm-owner tests.
Remaining name differences were generated fixture IDs/timestamps/PIDs,
not removed tests.
- The final run used `m7i-flex.xlarge` for Build (408s), with all chat
jobs completing in 238s / 318s / 280s. It used the same actual merge
base `afe5b341` as the first chat candidate. Optional profiling was
disabled after the bounded measurement experiment; the full 48-job
correctness workflow still ran.
- The fleet used `m7i.xlarge` for the earlier Build and `m6a.xlarge` for
the first chat candidate Build. Several unchanged compile/install/probe
phases slowed together. This does not prove hardware alone caused the
difference, and full-run attribution must account for runner/cache
variance and the upstream base change.
- Original full baseline: [all 48 jobs
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38753547876/attempts/2),
12m07s, including a server job that queued over five minutes. It is not
a clean basis for attributing the whole elapsed-time reduction to this
PR. An interrupted baseline and two misrouted candidate attempts were
excluded and preserved; routing/trust rules were not weakened.
- Local: 32 sharding/launcher checks pass, including disjoint coverage,
shared-database fallback and a failed child that waits for its sibling.
Real paired chat partitions passed 416 cases in 217.63s on independent
embedded databases.
- Both extracted Runner deadline regressions pass unchanged with real
waits. An initial local attempt rejected a Node executable under the
controller home; the identical binary in an owned non-home path passed
without weakening that guard.
- Real worker-isolation proof, actionlint and diff checks pass.
Latest-head Greptile is **5/5**, with no review threads or actionable
findings.
- The eight snapshot-worker cases pass locally with a private
`PAPERCLIP_HOME`. The first direct local invocation failed to open the
default-home lock database under the sandbox; no production guard was
changed.

## Risks

Parallel files and paired chat databases may expose shared-state
assumptions or increase peak memory. Cases stay serial within each
invocation, and explicit shared databases keep the serial path. Complete
server coverage and the full 48-job CI workflow pass. Check external
required PR scans before merge; the full-workflow measurements are
observational and do not establish a steady 12.6% speedup. Queueing,
cache state and runner variance must be distinguished from execution
improvements.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, code execution
and GitHub tools. The exact serving model suffix and context capacity
are not exposed to this session.

DottaandPaperclip 7ec6fd0972 perf(ci): remove repeated test setup and fixture work (#16429)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - CI must check changes without making contributors wait for repeated
setup.
> - A complete CI profile showed 158 serialized Vitest launches and
repeated dependency installs.
> - A large fixture also transferred 40,000 files to prove two different
size boundaries.
> - This PR removes repeated controller, install, build, transfer, and
wait work.
> - It keeps isolated test processes and all useful regression
boundaries.
> - Paired command benchmarks check speed and test inventories before we
claim a benefit.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16423 for the complete CI profiling data path. No duplicate
optimization PR was found.

**Current behavior**

Each serialized file starts a new Vitest controller. Each CI lane
restores the pnpm store and installs dependencies. Large Git scanning
and staging share one 40,000-file fixture. A readiness regression waits
over a minute for the default database idle deadline.

**Proposed behavior**

Use one controller per serialized shard, with a fresh fork for each
file. Restore exact installed dependencies and certified shared/SDK
build outputs when inputs match. Keep the normal install and build paths
on a miss. Separate the 32 MiB Git scan proof from staging above command
argument limits. Cross a real database idle deadline with a one-second
fixture setting.

**Reason and benefit**

The paired Linux CI benchmark reduced the complete 566-case serialized
shard from 303.43s to 246.96s (18.6%). The Git/database fixture command
fell from 156.54s to 33.78s (78.4%). Exact dependency/build restoration
reduced setup from 56s to 19s (66.1%). These are measured command/setup
times. They do not establish a controlled reduction in the full
workflow's queue-to-completion time.

**Breaking changes**

None to application behavior. Tests still run in full. Test results are
not cached. Cache misses preserve the existing lockfile resolution
fallback.

## What Changed

- Batch serialized files into one isolated, single-worker Vitest
invocation per shard. Give each worker its own home, config and instance
ID.
- Add a real two-order isolation check for processes, environment,
globals, timers and filesystem state.
- Add exact dependency keys for all manifests, lockfile, workspace
settings, patches, installer, runtime, platform, libc, pnpm, store and
checkout path. Cache only installed package directories, not source
fixtures.
- Add a separate content key for the shared/SDK dependency graph. Retain
the existing source/output fingerprint verifier and rebuild path. Only
an exact canonical master push can populate normal caches. Stale
lockfile fallback runs cannot publish entries.
- Keep four real Git filename lanes above 32 MiB. Use a separate
4,000-file staging/deletion case above 2 MiB. Check every staged file,
unusual names, cleanup and bounded commands.
- Configure a real one-second PostgreSQL idle timeout in the readiness
fixture. Assert that the backend connection changes and that another
connection can write the parent row.
- Add an opt-in, unprivileged Linux benchmark under `profile-ci`. It
compares the tested merge tree with its actual first parent on one
runner. It also removes installed outputs and qualifies a real cache
restore using temporary PR-scoped entries.

## Verification

- Local Node 24.19.0: unchanged serialized shard 255.69s; candidate
231.44s; all 566 cases pass in both.
- Local fixture command: unchanged 189.13s; candidate 43.39s. Candidate
scan 18.58s, staging 13.41s, database case 2.80s. All three candidate
cases pass.
- Negative control: moving readiness back inside the real parent-lock
transaction fails the shortened regression at the parent-write
assertion. The production source was restored and is absent from the
diff.
- Worker isolation check passes in both file orders.
- 565 CI policy, partition and workflow regression checks pass with
local HTTP/IPC access enabled. The first sandboxed attempt was denied
listen access; it was not a code failure.
- `actionlint` passes for the three changed workflows.
- [All 48 main CI jobs
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38745643045)
on head `5bec2edb2b194e74352ca697f3fd1d0ac03ce967`, including full
typecheck, tests, build, browser E2E and release checks. All 158
serialized files and 3,250 cases passed through 9 controller
invocations. Full typecheck/test/build were verified in CI; they were
not all repeated locally.
- [Paired Linux benchmark
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38745643127)
on Node 24.21.0. Its baseline is
`57fa6b358de62922cfa9a67766b2a227c434fcdf`; its candidate merge tree is
`f68f1b32966090f11647502e31852130c20237cf`. The artifact contains
results, exact case inventories, setup times and raw logs. Serialized
case identities match exactly. All three fixture contracts execute in
both variants.

  | Measured work | Baseline | Candidate | Reduction |
  |---|---:|---:|---:|
  | Complete serialized shard, 566 cases | 303.43s | 246.96s | 18.6% |
  | Git/database fixture command | 156.54s | 33.78s | 78.4% |
  | Dependency/build setup, cold vs exact hit | 56s | 19s | 66.1% |

- [Honeycomb profile export succeeded on its second
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38747237615/attempts/2).
The first attempt failed on GitHub HTTP 503 while downloading an
artifact, before export. Only the export was retried; tests were not
repeated. The temporary PR-scoped qualification caches were removed
after validation, reclaiming 3.34 GB. Timing artifacts remain available.
- Greptile is 5/5 on the current head, with no unresolved review
threads. Its P1 checkout-prefix finding was fixed in `5bec2edb2`; the
corrected reporter paths and paired comparison passed. Earlier runs were
superseded while this was fixed. A copy-batching experiment did not
speed up the Git fixture and was replaced by the two-boundary fixture
split.

## Risks

- A persistent controller retains transform state longer. The local
shard's maximum RSS rose from about 1.52 GB to 1.99 GB. Full CI must
confirm all shards fit the runner budget.
- Materialized caches are larger than metadata caches. The Linux
benchmark measured real archive transfer and validation after removing
installed outputs. Its hit took 19s versus 56s cold. Normal PR lanes
cannot publish cache entries. Exact misses run installation. Canonical
cache warming requires a frozen-lockfile install; the existing
stale-lockfile fallback remains uncached.
- The PR uses the trusted reusable workflow from master. The paired
benchmark directly exercises the candidate dependency action; normal
workflow adoption still requires this PR to merge. This PR does not
change the trust references. The completed main workflow took 11m02
including queue time. No controlled full-workflow latency improvement is
claimed before this workflow adopts the cache change.
- Only deterministic dependency/build outputs are reused. Broad
dependency-based test omission and caching successful test results are
deliberately excluded from this change.
- The real Runner lease minimum and cold-admission waits remain. They
protect protocol boundaries and were not shortened by weakening
production limits.

DottaandPaperclip 7420af26fc fix(ci): finish large Honeycomb profile exports (#16423)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses pull request CI to check changes before merge.
> - The merged CI profiler records a selected full PR suite in
Honeycomb.
> - A real 48-job profile exposed an export failure after Honeycomb
accepted only part of the trace.
> - The same run exposed three fixture subprocesses that looked like
incomplete test launches, one direct reporter without a launcher marker,
and one overlong test name.
> - The exporter needs to handle temporary ingest rejection without
sending accepted spans again.
> - This pull request fixes those cases and documents the trace display
limit.
> - The benefit is a complete, checkable CI waterfall with test-file
timings.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The first live `profile-ci` run on #16423 completed all 48 jobs, but the
post-run exporter stopped when Honeycomb rejected part of a batch. The
initial trace had no root span. Its coverage flag also reported four
unfinished invocations and one invalid timing record.

**Expected behavior**

The exporter should pace large uploads, retry only temporarily rejected
events, and publish the root after every child is accepted. Completed
reporters should count as complete. Long test names should not erase
test timing.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Add `profile-ci` to a CI CODEOWNER PR with the merged profiler.
2. Run the full PR suite, as in [run
38732093469](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38732093469).
3. Inspect the separate [failed exporter
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38733393370)
and the trace coverage fields.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`12612b06eb4332844ac4c8770a1fb6c6b7eccbc9` (PR run head, based on merged
#16378).

## What Changed

- Pace Honeycomb uploads and retry only transiently rejected events from
each batch.
- Preserve overlong test timings with bounded names and count complete
reporter pairs without a launcher record.
- Keep nested Vitest fixture runs from inheriting CI profiling and
creating false coverage gaps.
- Clarify ordinary CI access, large-trace display limits, and export
behavior in the operator guide.

## Verification

- [Full PR
suite](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38732093469/attempts/1):
48 of 48 jobs succeeded; 10m 29s wall time. The selected jobs used the
AWS public PR fleet. The protected exporter used a separate
GitHub-hosted runner.
- [Clean Honeycomb file
waterfall](https://ui.honeycomb.io/paperclip/environments/test/datasets/paperclip-ci/trace?trace_id=01ed0c541b0442e613a030ffb6dc8d9b&trace_start_ts=1792065955&trace_end_ts=1792066584):
48 jobs, 822 steps, 2,622 file spans, and `ci.profile_complete=true`. It
was reconstructed from that run's 45 timing artifacts after identifying
three nested fixture records. The full trace also recorded 44,497 tests;
Honeycomb's chart omits some deep test spans because it displays at most
32,000 spans per trace.
- The original exporter stopped after a partially accepted batch. A
local replay of that batch succeeded. I used the authorized local
test-environment key to complete the original upload and create the
file-level view. No key was added to this branch or PR.
- `node --test .github/scripts/tests/ci-profile.test.mjs
scripts/ci-profile/reporters.test.mjs`: 18 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/vitest-chat-shards.test.ts`: 1 passed.
- `git diff --check`: passed.
- The local `pnpm -r typecheck` and profiled fixture rerun could not
start: the package-manager shim could not verify the `pnpm@9.15.4`
registry signature because its fetches failed. `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm
build` were not run locally; hosted CI is pending.
- The updated exporter has not yet run from protected `master`; this PR
remains draft until CI and review finish.

## Risks

- A 48,000-span export now takes about three extra minutes due to
pacing. Retry limits still fail a persistently rejected batch and keep
the root unpublished.
- Honeycomb may retain duplicates from an already partial export. The
clean file-level evidence trace uses a separate trace ID.
- The API key stays only in the protected `ci-profiling` environment. PR
jobs write timing artifacts but never receive it.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, GitHub API,
and browser inspection. The runtime does not expose the exact serving
model ID or context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 6acec4266e feat(ci): profile full CODEOWNER PR suites in Honeycomb (#16378)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its PR workflow runs dozens of parallel build and test jobs.
> - Individual job durations do not show the elapsed cost of the whole
suite.
> - Maintainers need one shared timeline to find slow work and repeated
setup.
> - This pull request adds full-suite profiles for selected CI CODEOWNER
PRs.
> - Honeycomb shows each job, step, test file, and supported test on
that timeline.
> - The benefit is evidence for changes that reduce total CI time.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The main PR workflow has about 48 jobs. Maintainers need to compare
their overlapping work and find which jobs delay completion.

**Current behavior**

GitHub shows job and step durations separately. Test files and tests are
not joined to a full workflow trace.

**Proposed behavior**

A CI CODEOWNER adds `profile-ci` to a PR. The tested code stays on that
PR branch. All main PR lanes run, including lanes normally skipped for
stack position or release notes. A trusted post-run exporter sends one
wall-clock trace to Honeycomb.

**Reason and benefit**

The trace supports decisions about which CI work to speed up or remove.
Ordinary PRs do not export traces. The roadmap and related-PR search
found no duplicate CI profiling work.

## What Changed

- Add label selection and a full-suite override. Verify the PR author,
original actor, and rerun actors against the trusted `.github/**`
CODEOWNERS rule.
- Record Vitest, Playwright, and Node test file/test timings in local
artifacts. Keep ordinary reporter behavior and failing exit codes.
- Add a trusted `workflow_run` exporter. Use actual GitHub timestamps
for all jobs, setup, steps, waiting, and teardown. Mark missing test
data and partial reruns.
- Keep the ingest key out of PR jobs. Store it only in the
`ci-profiling` environment, restricted to `master`. The exporter reads
bounded JSON and never executes artifact code.
- Record expected test invocations outside reporters so a missing
invocation cannot appear complete. Preserve `node --test` on older PR
checkouts. Flush large shard inventories before exit.
- Add security, timing, routing, and real-reporter checks. Document
operation and activation. Protect the exporter with CODEOWNERS.

## Verification

- 509 focused workflow/reporter/shard checks passed. They include
outside authors, outside rerun actors, bots, stale revisions, malicious
ZIP paths, incomplete reports, and partial ingestion failures.
- Final revision `3bf5d9017d` adds multi-file qualification and fixes
short-file step parenting and duplicate Node file-wrapper events.
Greptile reviewed this exact revision at 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
[Main PR CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38728040302):
the initial attempt had 54 successful checks, 3 intentional skips, and
one serialized-shard failure from an unchanged workspace-authorization
test exceeding its 15-second timeout. The single failed-shard retry
passed: the final result is 55 successful checks and 3 intentional
skips. The same timeout reproduces locally with profiling disabled; both
assertions pass with a diagnostic 60-second timeout override (about 23
seconds total). No source or CI timeout was changed.
- A dry run against real GitHub attempt 2 of run `38677445871` produced
exactly 3 executed jobs, 40 spans, and 510 seconds, excluding 45
carried-over jobs. The partial trace remains explicitly incomplete; this
validation did not upload data.
- `actionlint` passed for all four changed workflows. `git diff --check`
passed.
- Full Node 24 `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. The local
full `pnpm test:run` was stopped after it reported a setup-token timeout
and a distribution-plugin-catalog fixture failure. The 30 setup-token
tests passed on focused rerun. The plugin fixture fails at `rmSync` of a
directory symlink on this macOS/Node 24.11.0 host; the same failure
reproduces with the unchanged base Vitest configuration and unchanged
test/service files (10 other tests pass). The local full test suite is
therefore not claimed green.
- A real root-config Vitest probe passed 13 tests with profiling both
off and on. Multi-file Vitest, Playwright, and Node probes each verify
two distinct filename rows and four correctly parented tests, including
repeated test names across files. Separate passing probes exercise the
full exporter hierarchy `workflow → job → step → filename → tests`.
Intentional failing probes preserve failing exit status.
- Verified all 48 measured jobs in latest-head run `38728040302` used
AWS: one `paperclip-ci-routing-x64` gate and 47
`paperclip-public-pr-x64` jobs. Profiling preserves AWS authorization
and its GitHub-hosted fallback. The separate privileged exporter runs on
`ubuntu-latest` outside the measured suite.
- [Live Honeycomb
baseline](https://ui.honeycomb.io/paperclip/environments/test/datasets/paperclip-ci/trace/oaPMzw8zGwG):
48 jobs, 731 spans, 479 seconds. It matches [GitHub run
38671274294](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38671274294).
This historical trace has job/step data only; it is not proof of the
future label-triggered test-reporting journey.
- Verified the dedicated Honeycomb key is ingest-only with dataset
creation disabled. Verified the GitHub environment allows only the
`master` branch. No repository-level secret of that name exists. Both
credential values were scanned absent from source and branch history.

After merge, add `profile-ci` to a CI CODEOWNER PR, wait for the entire
PR run and exporter, then follow the run-summary link. Collapse job
children to compare parallel lanes; expand a job to inspect its steps
and tests.

## Risks

- Activation requires merging the trusted workflow definitions to
`master`. This PR continues using the current trusted reusable workflows
until then.
- Selected runs produce many spans and artifacts. Oversized artifacts
fail export instead of truncating data. Missing or cancelled reporters
are marked incomplete.
- GitHub timings have second precision. Node test times use reporter
receipt time. Rust retains job/step timing but lacks per-test wall
timestamps.
- CI CODEOWNERS are individual users in the explicit `.github/**` rule.
Unsupported team rules and identity lookup failures disable profiling.
- An interrupted upload can leave partial data. Retrying uses the same
span IDs, but the Events API does not promise deduplication.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, repository
tools, and browser verification. The runtime does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context-window size.
