Summary

Problem

An audit of merged PRs against the three e2e lanes found these two uncovered.

#5796 / #5766 — the ceiling was never exercised. RunLimits::max_model_call_ms bounds each individual model call so one wedged provider call cannot hold a turn. The only assertion that existed is a unit test (agent/tinyagents/tinyagents_tests.rs) pinning that the number is copied into the policy — which the wiring line satisfies whether or not any call is ever bounded. It is a safety limit whose failure mode is silent: if it stopped firing, runs would simply hang against a stalled provider until a coarser timeout caught them.

#5817 — only the success side was covered. per_config_lookups_see_a_per_config_connection covers a clean connect and asserts last_error_for_config is None afterwards. That left the half that matters for diagnosis untested: auth_hint_for_config had no reference in any e2e lane, and nothing asserted a real failure is surfaced rather than folded into the same None a missing workspace returns — which is the confusion #5701 was filed about.

Solution

tests/agent_harness_e2e.rs — model_call_exceeding_the_per_call_ceiling_is_cut_off
Sets OPENHUMAN_MODEL_CALL_TIMEOUT_SECS=1, scripts four 4s stalls (one per possible attempt, so no attempt can fall through to the handler's un-stalled default), and asserts the turn ends in chat_error / turn_timeout within seconds.

The elapsed-time assertion is the load-bearing one and needs explaining. The obvious test — assert the failure names the bound that fired — does not work: the harness does label its timeout per-model-call ceiling vs remaining wall-clock budget (agent_loop/model_call.rs:11,17), but the web layer maps both onto one generic turn_timeout copy and discards the label. So the discriminator has to be the clock: the turn budget is left at its default hour, so a turn that dies in seconds can only have died on the per-call bound.

tests/mcp_registry_e2e.rs — per_config_failure_lookups_surface_the_reason
Points an HTTP-remote install at a wiremock endpoint that 401s everything, opens a second workspace so host::try_service() refuses to guess (the precondition that makes the per-config forms the only correct ones), and asserts auth_hint_for_config returns credential_required, last_error_for_config returns the reason, and neither leaks to the second workspace.

Revert-check

test revert applied result
model_call_exceeding_the_per_call_ceiling_is_cut_off policy.limits.max_model_call_ms = None in agent/tinyagents/mod_part_01.rs:214 FAILED as required — assertion left == right failed: a model call that outruns the per-call ceiling must end the turn; left: Some("chat_done") right: Some("chat_error"), with full_response: "UNREACHED_AFTER_CEILING" proving the stall was awaited to completion
per_config_failure_lookups_surface_the_reason both lookups routed back through host::try_service() in mcp/registry/mod.rs FAILED as required — assertion left == right failed: the workspace that attempted the connect must see why its 401 happened; left: None right: Some("credential_required")

Both restored afterwards; final run of the two binaries in full is 17 passed / 18 passed, 0 failed.

One test written, proven vacuous, and dropped

The ceiling has a second half: tool calls are exempt from it and stay on the run remainder alone, because a sub-agent delegation is a tool call wrapping an entire child run. I wrote tool_call_exceeding_the_per_call_ceiling_is_exempt for it and could not make it fail — it passed both with the ceiling unwired and with the exemption removed from call_budget outright (fault injected into the vendored tinyagents-harness, confirmed recompiled, then restored). A blocking delegation does not appear to be bounded by the parent's tool-call budget in the way the test assumed, so the fault it existed to catch was invisible to it.

Rather than ship a test that proves nothing, it is dropped and the gap is recorded in a comment above the surviving test. This half remains uncovered.

Submission Checklist

  • Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case) per Testing Strategy — both added tests are failure-path tests; each is revert-checked and shown failing on its own assertion above.
  • Diff coverage ≥ 80% — N/A: the diff is test code only; no production lines changed, so there are no changed lines for diff-cover to measure.
  • Coverage matrix updated — N/A: behaviour-only change; no feature rows added, removed or renamed.
  • All affected feature IDs from the matrix are listed in the PR description under ## Related — N/A: no matrix feature IDs affected.
  • No new external network dependencies introduced (mock backend used per Testing Strategy) — both tests are hermetic: the existing in-test scripted upstream, and wiremock (already a dev-dependency) on localhost.
  • Manual smoke checklist updated if this touches release-cut surfaces — N/A: no release-cut surface changed; test-only.
  • Linked issue closed via Closes #NNN in the ## Related section — N/A: backfills coverage for already-merged PRs; closes no issue.

Impact

  • Test-only. No runtime, platform, performance, security, migration or compatibility impact.
  • agent_harness_e2e's scripted upstream gains an optional delay_ms on a queue entry. Existing entries are unaffected — the handler's fast path is one get("delay_ms") miss — and the full binary passes unchanged (17/17).

Findings this PR does not fix

Recorded here so they are not lost; no issues were opened.

  1. mcp registry connections facade: connect() is per-config, the other seven read the process global #5701 is not closed by feat(mcp): finish the per-config connection lookups (#5701) #5817. The five per-config lookups landed, but no production caller uses them — connections::connected_overview() (ambient) is still what agent/harness/session/turn/core_turn.rs:137,210 and agent/registry/agents/orchestrator/prompt.rs:170 call, and none of the six lookups has any other caller in src/. try_service() resolves the init() workspace first, so a normally booted desktop process still answers — but it answers from the default workspace, so a process serving more than one can hand the orchestrator another workspace's MCP servers; an embedder that only ever used for_config gets Vec::new(). The capability moved, the callers did not.

  2. The turn_timeout copy blames the wrong thing. web_chat/web_errors_part_02.rs:107-113 tells the user "This usually means a tool call or a delegated sub-agent stalled." That branch now also catches the per-model-call ceiling, which fires only on model calls and from which tool calls are explicitly exempt — so in the case Agent turns: adopt tinyagents' per-model-call ceiling and demote the 600s turn deadline to a runaway guard #5766 was built to detect, the message names the one cause it cannot be. My first attempt at the test asserted against this and got the misleading copy back verbatim.

  3. error_type cannot distinguish the two bounds. Both the per-call ceiling and the turn deadline surface as turn_timeout with the label discarded, so no client, log line, or test can tell "this one call wedged" from "the run is out of time". That is why the test above has to discriminate on elapsed time.

Related

  • Closes:
  • Follow-up PR(s)/TODOs: the tool-call exemption half of the ceiling remains uncovered (see above); the three findings above are unfiled by instruction.

Note on CI

main is currently red on the Rust Quality layout gate — pre-existing and being fixed separately. Expect it here; every other check should be green.

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add end-to-end coverage for per-model-call timeout enforcement and workspace-scoped MCP connection failure details. They add delayed scripted completions, an HTTP remote test server helper, and assertions for timeout responses and isolated failure lookups.

Changes

Model call timeout coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stalled completion timeout test
tests/agent_harness_e2e.rs
The scripted upstream can stall every response, including retries. The new test verifies that a two-second per-call ceiling ends the turn with chat_error and turn_timeout before the turn deadline.

MCP failure lookup scope

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-config failure lookup test
tests/mcp_registry_e2e.rs
The test creates an HTTP remote server, returns unauthorized responses, checks the credential_required hint and error for the connected workspace, and verifies that another workspace has no failure details.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ceae1

This PR adds end-to-end coverage without changing production behavior; after normal checks and review, no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

A rabbit guards the timeout gate,
While stalled replies must wait.
One workspace keeps its error near,
The next workspace finds none there.
Tests record the ending state.

Rebased onto main after tinyhumansai#5969 merged, which independently added a
model-call-ceiling test to agent_harness_e2e.rs covering the same behaviour as
the one this branch carried. Rather than ship two tests for one bound, this
drops ours and carries its review fix onto the one that landed.

The surviving test had the same hole the review found in ours. It pins
OPENHUMAN_MODEL_CALL_TIMEOUT_SECS and OPENHUMAN_AGENT_TURN_TIMEOUT_SECS, but a
turn is bounded by a THIRD wall clock: web_turn_deadline()
(web_chat/ops_part_01.rs:79) applies its own backstop from
OPENHUMAN_WEB_TURN_TIMEOUT_SECS, and the web layer maps every harness Timeout
onto the same generic turn_timeout copy. An inherited value below the 8s bound
the test asserts would fire first, produce an identical terminal, and let the
whole test pass with the per-call ceiling unwired. It is now cleared for the
duration of the test, so it falls back to its 900s default and cannot decide
the outcome.

The one assertion ours had that the surviving test does not — that the dropped
call's payload never reaches the transcript — is noted in W7-test-findings.md
rather than silently lost.

mcp_registry_e2e keeps the per-config failure lookups, with last_error asserted
non-empty after trimming: the message promises a readable reason and
is_some() also accepts Some(String::new()).

Rebased onto edee56003 and materially reshaped — please re-read the diff rather than the original description.

#5969 merged an equivalent test while this was open. It added model_call_ceiling_bounds_a_wedged_call_below_the_turn_deadline to the same file, covering the same per-model-call bound this branch was backfilling. Shipping both would have been two tests for one behaviour, and the rebase conflict was entirely the two tests colliding line-for-line.

So this PR now:

  1. Drops our ceiling test in favour of the one that landed first.
  2. Carries the review fix onto the survivor, which had the same hole. It pinned OPENHUMAN_MODEL_CALL_TIMEOUT_SECS and OPENHUMAN_AGENT_TURN_TIMEOUT_SECS but left OPENHUMAN_WEB_TURN_TIMEOUT_SECS ambient — and there are three wall clocks that end a turn, all reported as the same generic turn_timeout. Its bound is elapsed < 8s against a 25s stall, so an inherited web backstop under 8s fires first and the test passes with the ceiling unwired.
  3. Keeps the per-config MCP failure lookups unchanged, with last_error now required non-empty after trimming.

Net diff is +10 on agent_harness_e2e.rs and +110 on mcp_registry_e2e.rs, down from +242.

One assertion from the dropped test is not carried over — that the cut-off call's payload never reaches the transcript. The survivor does not check it; recorded in W7-test-findings.md as a follow-up rather than lost.

Also correcting myself on the thread above: I claimed OPENHUMAN_AGENT_TURN_TIMEOUT_SECS did not exist. It does (mod_part_01.rs:143). My grep was too narrow and I stated the conclusion too confidently.
