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.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, shell execution and code
tools. The runtime does not expose a more specific deployment ID or
context-window size.

# each, in line with the other ~200-290s lanes.
#
# The balance only holds while the manifest is fresh. By 2026-10-10
# the without-chat group had grown to 871 suites and ~5031s of serial
# vitest time (mean of runs 38076844891 and 38076972444), 230 of

# shard count stays at twelve because Build and workspaces-b sit

# The master Rust lane in release-verify.yml saves that crate's release

# request whose merge tree carries byte-identical inputs restores them
# and marks them newer than the checkout, so cargo keeps them; any
# other pull request misses and compiles exactly as before. Exact key
