Summary

Make the gap-suite snapshot meaningful again by refusing to compare Perry against an unpinned or dependency-incomplete Node oracle, and by requiring every accepted snapshot failure to carry issue-backed provenance.

The nine regressions reported in #9273 are not current failures: five were manufactured by a missing root npm ci, and four were real #9244 regressions already fixed by #9247. On the pinned Node oracle, pristine main still has the five committed known failures.

Fixes #9273

Test plan

  • cargo build --release clean (not rerun after rebasing unrelated Rust changes from main; the release compiler/runtime used for the focused suite built cleanly before that rebase)
  • cargo test --workspace --exclude perry-ui-ios --exclude perry-ui-tvos --exclude perry-ui-watchos --exclude perry-ui-gtk4 --exclude perry-ui-android --exclude perry-ui-windows passes (no Rust changed)
  • (if user-facing) Added or updated a test under test-files/ or a #[test] in the affected crate (repository test tooling only; both Python checkers gained self-test cases)
  • (if CLI / stdlib / runtime API changed) Updated docs/src/ (not applicable)
  • (if touching a platform UI backend) Built -p perry-ui-<backend> locally on that platform (not applicable)

Additional validation on root@perrymaster.skelpo.net:

  • ./scripts/run_lint_gates.sh --quick — all 60 runnable gates passed, including workspace cargo check -D warnings and Clippy; 2 CI-expression-only commands skipped locally.
  • Focused exact-oracle run of the 14 disputed/baseline tests — all nine disputed tests passed; all five known failures reproduced and matched gap_snapshot.json.
  • python3 scripts/gap_snapshot.py --self-test
  • python3 scripts/parity_known_failures.py --self-test
  • python3 scripts/parity_known_failures.py --audit
  • python3 scripts/check_node_version_consistency.py
  • Manual negative checks: wrong Node and missing npm dependencies both stop the wrapper before build/test execution with exit 2 and actionable diagnostics.

Screenshots / output

Not applicable.

Checklist

  • I have NOT bumped the workspace version or edited CLAUDE.md / CHANGELOG.md (maintainer handles these at merge)
  • My commits follow the loose feat: / fix: / docs: / chore: prefix convention used in the log
  • I've read CONTRIBUTING.md and agree to the Code of Conduct

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved gap-test reliability by validating the required Node.js version and installed dependencies before execution.
    • Prevented stale or environment-generated failures from being reported as genuine regressions.
    • Added stronger validation to ensure reported snapshot failures have complete, issue-backed provenance.
  • Documentation

    • Updated gap snapshot instructions, including dependency setup, environment requirements, and triage guidance.
  • Chores

    • Existing snapshot metadata is now preserved and automatically restored during snapshot updates.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The gap snapshot workflow now validates the Node oracle environment, imports known-failure provenance during snapshot updates, and audits snapshot and known-failure records in both directions. Documentation and snapshot metadata reflect the required issue provenance.

Changes

Gap snapshot provenance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Snapshot provenance loading and merge
scripts/gap_snapshot.py, test-parity/gap_snapshot.json, test-parity/README.md
Snapshot updates load known_failures.json, preserve existing triage values, backfill missing fields, and require issue provenance before commit.
Bidirectional snapshot audit
scripts/parity_known_failures.py, changelog.d/9306-gap-snapshot-oracle.md
The audit rejects malformed, untriaged, or orphan snapshot failures and checks Linux-applicable known-failure records.
Gap test environment preflight
scripts/run_gap_tests.sh
The wrapper requires the pinned Node version and a valid root npm dependency installation before running the suite.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4ccfd

The PR hardens Node and npm prerequisites and snapshot provenance, but dependency checks still allow lockfile drift that could produce non-reproducible gap results, and the release-note entry is incomplete. These are bounded follow-up items requiring owner awareness rather than production-impacting blockers.

npm documentation npm ls verifies installed tree package.json lockfile npm ci exact package-lock behavior

💡 Result:

The npm ls command and npm ci command serve distinct purposes in managing and verifying dependency trees. npm ls The npm ls command lists installed packages and their dependencies in a tree structure [1]. It identifies extraneous, missing, and invalid packages based on the logical dependency tree rather than the physical layout of the node_modules folder [1][2]. By default, npm ls operates on the currently installed node_modules [1][3]. If an error exists in the dependency tree, such as unmet peer dependencies, npm ls will report them and exit with a non-zero exit code [4]. While npm ls displays the installed tree, it does not inherently act as a "verify against package.json and lockfile" command in the same way that npm ci ensures environment parity [1][5]. However, it can be used to detect discrepancies if the current node_modules do not align with dependency requirements [1]. You can also use the --package-lock-only flag to have npm ls output the tree described by the package-lock.json instead of the actual contents of node_modules [1][6][7]. npm ci The npm ci command is specifically designed for automated environments where a clean, predictable install is required [8][9]. Its behavior regarding package.json and package-lock.json is strict: - Requirement: The project must have an existing package-lock.json (or npm-shrinkwrap.json) [5][8]. - Verification: It verifies that the dependencies in the lockfile match those in package.json [5][8]. If they do not match, npm ci will exit with an error rather than updating the lockfile [5][8]. - Consistency: It ensures the installed tree matches the package-lock.json exactly [5][10]. If a node_modules folder already exists, it is removed before the install begins [5][8]. - Immutability: It never updates package.json or package-lock.json; the installation is essentially frozen [5][8]. In summary, npm ci is the authoritative tool for enforcing that your installed dependencies match your lockfile and package.json exactly, while npm ls is a diagnostic tool for inspecting the current state of your node_modules tree [1][5].

Enforce the lockfile dependency tree before running the suite. npm ls --depth=0 checks installed packages against package.json ranges. It does not require the installed tree to match package-lock.json. A semver-compatible version such as a different cron release can pass while package-backed gap fixtures produce different output. Run npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund, or add an equivalent lockfile-aware check, before the suite.
