feat(booth): soak test and frame-rate probe for long unattended runs - #83
Conversation
[Agent: Claude Code | Model: Opus 5.5 | Thinking: High | Acting on behalf of: Erik | Skill: none]
Nothing shows whether the build survives a show day unattended, or
what frame rate it holds on the booth hardware.
- --soak=<minutes> (app/booth_soak.gd) visits every AppRouter route in
turn for --soak-dwell seconds (default 30) with nobody playing. Every
5 s it appends a CSV row: route, frames per second, median, p99 and
worst frame times, static and video memory, objects, nodes, orphan
nodes and resources. Frames on a route's first second, or during a
route change, count as loading hitches instead.
- At the end it prints and saves a frame-rate table per route (p50,
p95, p99, max, share of frames over 16.7 and 33.3 ms) from bounded
histograms, the worst loading hitch, and a leak check: counts at the
hub from the second visit to the last (the first warms caches), with
small limits. It exits 0 when steady and 1 when they kept growing.
It announces each pass ("SOAK cycle N").
- A soak turns off the idle return and the game-over card, ignores
--route and writes no session log, so its visits never count as
booth sessions. It keeps the heartbeat, so it can run under the
watchdog.
- tools/booth/soak.py runs a build or this checkout's project with
--soak, samples resident memory with ps (release builds can't report
their own), and fails when it grew more than 25% from the start of
the second pass, once a third has begun. It stops a run that
outlasts its time and collects the CSV, summary, game.log and rss.csv.
- docs/builds.md gains "Soak test and frame rate".
- Tests: tests/booth_soak.gd (parsing, percentile and leak-check math,
and a short real soak in a bounded child), tools/booth/test_soak.py
(argument passing, RSS sampling, warm-up versus growth, the
three-pass rule, split log lines, the timeout, usage errors).

hoppys-adventure-arcade/app/booth_soak.gd:119-120
⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winThe dwell and settle clocks start before router.go begins its asynchronous transition. Fades and loading consume both intervals, leaving less than the configured dwell after arrival and potentially no post-load settling period.
A newly loaded scene can be advanced immediately or have its initial unstable frames classified as play rather than loading.
This can occur when: A transition lasts longer than SETTLE_SECONDS, or a short supported dwell approaches the transition duration.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winThe slow-frame calculation floors thresholds to a bucket boundary. For 16.7 ms it counts the entire 16.5–17 ms bucket, including ordinary 16.67 ms frames that are faster than the stated threshold.
A healthy 60 fps route can be reported as having nearly all frames slower than 16.7 ms.
This can occur when: A rendered run is near 60 fps, or frames fall between 33.0 and 33.3 ms for the other reported threshold.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winThe percentile helper treats the overflow bucket as having an upper edge of 100.5 ms, although that bucket contains every frame at or above 100 ms. The summary consequently understates percentiles that fall in the overflow bucket.
The report can show approximately 100.5 ms percentiles for substantially slower frames, masking severe sustained performance problems.
This can occur when: Enough post-settle frames exceed 100 ms for p95 or p99 to land in the overflow bucket; for example, consistently 150 ms frames.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winA zero process exit and non-growing RSS are sufficient to print passed, even when the game produced no soak completion verdict or artifacts.
The wrapper reports a successful soak that never completed or never ran.
This can occur when: An older build ignores --soak and is later closed normally, the wrong executable exits zero, or the game exits normally before reaching BoothSoak._finish.

Review comments at @hoppys-adventure-arcade/app/booth_soak.gd:
- Around line 153-154: Update _next_route() to clear window when advancing
routes, before calling router.go(routes[index]), so subsequent _sample() rows
contain frames only from the new route.
- Around line 241-245: Update the soak result flow around summary writing so
failures to create the output directory, write the CSV, or write the summary are
recorded and produce a nonzero exit status. Ensure the final `code` includes
these output failures as well as the existing growth result.
- Around line 56-57: Update the soak-minute and soak-dwell parsing paths in the
relevant functions to reject parsed values that are not finite. Keep the
existing syntax and positivity checks for soak minutes, and apply dwell’s
minimum only after confirming its parsed value is finite.
- Line 93: Update the elapsed-time accumulation in the soak loop to use the
measured monotonic span, converting milliseconds to seconds, instead of Godot’s
scaled or capped delta. Keep the existing soak deadline logic unchanged.
- Around line 202-203: Update the hub snapshot condition in _finish() so it
appends counts only when _route() is "hub", the router is not busy, and on_route
has reached dwell; keep other snapshot behavior unchanged.
- Line 120: Update AppRouter.go and BoothSoak._next_route so each route change
reports whether the requested scene became active, and have _next_route await
that result before starting the dwell or advancing the soak. If the change
fails, put the soak in a terminal error state rather than recording samples
under the requested route label.
Review comments at @tools/booth/soak.py:
- Around line 56-60: Update rss_verdict() to associate each RSS sample with a
route or hub-visit marker, then compare samples from the same phase after cycle
2 rather than the first and last unqualified samples. Preserve the existing
growth threshold and too-few-samples behavior.
- Line 102: After the `while game.poll() is None` loop in the game-log polling
flow, drain and parse any remaining contents from `tail` before calculating the
RSS verdict. Apply the same `CYCLE` matching and `cycles` update used inside the
loop so a final cycle-3 line is included.
- Line 95: Add a cleanup path around post-launch monitoring in main so every
exit after subprocess.Popen reaps the child: if the game is still running,
terminate it, then wait for it. Preserve the existing deadline handling and
normal exit-status behavior.
- Around line 80-81: Update the numeric argument validation near the
`args.minutes` guard to reject non-finite values for every numeric option before
starting the game. Keep `--minutes`, `--dwell`, and `--rss-every` strictly
positive, and reject negative `--grace` and `--max-rss-growth` values while
allowing zero for those two options.
Review comments at @tools/booth/test_soak.py:
- Around line 37-43: Update test_fails_when_resident_memory_keeps_growing to use
controlled sampler and clock fixtures instead of the real ps sampler and
subsecond fake-game timing, ensuring the simulated growth produces cycle 3 and
at least two post-cycle samples for rss_verdict.

…eck exact [Agent: Claude Code | Model: Opus 5.5 | Thinking: High | Acting on behalf of: Erik | Skill: none] Addresses CodeRabbit review 5542002152 on #83. booth_soak.gd: - Wall-clock time drives the deadline, the dwell and the samples, so hit-stop's time scale and capped deltas can't stretch a soak. The dwell and the settle period start once a route has opened. - Each route change is awaited; AppRouter.go() now returns whether the scene opened, and a route that doesn't ends the soak with exit 2 instead of recording samples under the wrong label. Results that can't be written also exit 2. - --soak and --soak-dwell reject non-finite values; short dwells settle for half the dwell. --soak-routes limits a soak to some routes. - Slow frames are counted exactly against 16.7 and 33.3 ms; a percentile in the overflow bucket is capped at the worst frame instead of reading as 100.5 ms. The frame window is cleared on each route change, and the final hub snapshot needs a settled visit. - Each settled hub visit prints "SOAK hub <n>". soak.py: - Measures resident memory at each "SOAK hub <n>" and compares the second visit with the last, instead of arbitrary samples. - Validates every number as finite (positive minutes, dwell and sampling; non-negative grace and growth limit), drops soak options already in the command, gives each run its own folder, always kills and reaps the game, reads the log once more after exit, and fails a game that never prints a verdict. Tests: a real negative soak (tests/support/soak_leak.gd leaks nodes beside it, skipped as a suite) must exit 1; --soak-routes keeps the steady and leaking runs short; the wrapper's memory tests use an injected sampler keyed to the fake game's hub visits.

…s result [Agent: Claude Code | Model: Opus 5.5 | Thinking: High | Acting on behalf of: Erik | Skill: none] - CI failed booth_soak: a fixed 24-second soak didn't reach every route on a loaded 2-core runner. --soak-cycles=<n> ends a soak after n full passes (the minutes remain a backstop), so the suite's runs no longer depend on how fast routes load: one pass over every route, and three passes over hub and platformer for the steady and leaking verdicts. It also makes a quick one-pass frame-rate probe. - Addresses CodeRabbit review 5542177191 on #83: a route that fails while the deadline hits is recorded before the finished guard, and _finish() waits for the change under way before judging, so the failure exits 2.

Why
Nothing shows whether the build survives a show day unattended, or what frame rate it holds on the booth hardware. The runner is 3D on GL Compatibility and has no performance budget for booth hardware. The plan calls for an 8–10 hour soak and a frame-rate measurement on the booth machine.
What
--soak=<minutes>(app/booth_soak.gd, added byAppRouteronly when passed, and shipped in exports so it runs on the real build):--soak-routes=, the hub always among them) and stays--soak-dwell=<seconds>(default 30) on each, with nobody playing.

A route's first second and route changes count as loading hitches instead.SOAK hub <n>. It compares the second visit with the last; the first warms caches. Debug builds also compare static memory, which release builds report as 0. Growth beyond small limits makes the game exit 1. A route that won't open or results that can't be written make it exit 2; otherwise it exits 0. Fewer than three hub visits is reported as too short to judge.--route, and writes no session log (feat(booth): log each booth session locally for booth analytics #74), so its visits never count as booth sessions. It keeps the heartbeat (feat(booth): keep the booth game running with a watchdog, Mac kiosk setup and a staff runbook #76), so it can run under the watchdog.tools/booth/soak.pywraps a run of a build or of this checkout's project (--godot):psevery 30 s intorss.csv, because release builds can't report their own.SOAK hub <n>line and compares the second hub visit with the last, once there are three, so both samples come from the same point of a pass.
