Summary

  • Windows cmd.exe / pwsh.exe shim cases and the aged-lock ready-file wait were bounded by INTERNAL_DEADLINE_MS (15s). On a loaded windows-latest runner a pwsh caller-token restore returned status null at 17.2s, and the aged-lock holder has taken 8–19s to write its ready file.
  • Those waits now use SPAWN_BUDGET_MS - INTERNAL_DEADLINE_MS on win32 (30s) and stay at INTERNAL_DEADLINE_MS elsewhere. The second aged-lock child, which had no timeout, uses the same bound. The surrounding test budget stays SPAWN_BUDGET_MS.
  • The cold-spawn disposition for this file is removed because the spawn timeouts no longer name INTERNAL_DEADLINE_MS. The cold cost is still shell startup, so there is no module-graph warm-up.

Verification

  • tests/codex-integration/codex-shim.test.ts is 2256 content lines against the 2388 ratchet cap. The deadline regex no longer matches the file.
  • bun test tests/ci-workflows/cold-spawn-warmup.test.ts — 18 pass, 0 fail.
  • bun test tests/codex-integration/codex-shim.test.ts -t "an aged lock held by a live restore owner is never reclaimed" — 1 pass, 0 fail.
  • CI on 453483f3: Linux test shards 1–4 passed. Windows shard 4 ran codex-shim.test.ts — 96 pass, 8 skip, 0 fail, in 20.7s. The pwsh empty-token restore passed in 545ms and the aged-lock case passed in 2.0s. Windows shards 1–5 and 7–9 passed. Shard 6 was cancelled at the 30-minute job ceiling during its last batch (windows-tray), after that batch's tests had passed. The aggregate ci check failed only because that job did not report success (windows 6/9 did not report success). No shim assertion failed. This branch is not green until that cancelled job is rerun.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Updated Windows shell-spawn test timing for token restoration and aged-lock scenarios; other platforms retain their existing timing.
    • Updated cold-start warmup tracking so the Codex shim test is no longer listed as unwarmed.

A loaded windows-latest runner starts pwsh.exe past the 15s internal
deadline, so the caller-token restore sees a null status. The shell is
the assertion, so the wait uses the shared spawn budget minus that
deadline on win32, including the aged-lock ready file.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Codex shim integration tests now use a platform-dependent timeout for selected shell spawns and aged-lock waits. The cold-spawn warmup disposition list no longer includes the Codex shim test.

Changes

Shell-spawn test timeouts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Select and apply shell-spawn timeouts
tests/codex-integration/codex-shim.test.ts
The test defines SHELL_SPAWN_TIMEOUT_MS based on the platform and applies it to token-restoration and aged-lock test timeouts.

Cold-spawn warmup disposition

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove Codex shim disposition
tests/ci-workflows/cold-spawn-warmup.test.ts
The disposition list no longer marks codex-shim.test.ts as unwarmed or records its explanation.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other


Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 45348

A slow Windows aged-lock run can exceed its 45-second test budget. This is a localized test-workflow risk; bounding the second wait by the remaining time would reduce it.

P2 Badge Share the timeout across both PowerShell spawns

On a contended Windows runner, these two sequential spawnSync calls may each complete within the new 30-second limit while taking more than the surrounding 45-second SPAWN_BUDGET_MS in aggregate—for example, two 24-second launches. Bun then reports a test timeout even though neither child exceeded its bound, so this change can replace the original flake with another one. Calculate the second timeout from the test's remaining shared deadline, split the two assertions into separate tests, or otherwise ensure their cumulative allowance fits the outer budget.

P2 Badge Keep the shim test visible to cold-spawn coverage

This alias is still derived from INTERNAL_DEADLINE_MS and is passed to child-process timeout options, but DEADLINE_AS_SPAWN_TIMEOUT only recognizes that token within 120 characters after timeout:. Consequently the alias makes this file disappear from the scan and permits its disposition to be removed, even though the aged-lock children dynamically import src/codex/shim and therefore exercise the repository-module cold-start class that the guard is intended to classify. Retain the disposition or extend the guard to resolve this named timeout instead of allowing the alias to bypass it.

Use one deadline for both aged-lock waits.

The ready-file poll and the sequential spawnSync each allow 30 seconds. Because they run sequentially, they can consume 60 seconds, while the enclosing test timeout is 45 seconds. Use the remaining time from the first deadline for the second child.

🐛 Suggested fix
       const second = spawnSync(process.execPath, ["-e", secondScript], {
         cwd: repoRoot(),
         env: childEnv,
         encoding: "utf8",
-        timeout: SHELL_SPAWN_TIMEOUT_MS,
+        timeout: Math.max(1, deadline - Date.now()),
       });
