Queue-flake anchor: test/hook-timeout-override-refusal.test.ts

test/hook-timeout-override-refusal.test.ts has ejected 3 pull requests from the merge
queue within a rolling 24 hours — 3 independent hits once
GitHub's speculative stacking is accounted for. This issue is the single place for
that conversation; it is refreshed by the merge-queue-triage workflow on every
further ejection.

PR	stack	queue build
#25979	independent	40298562907
#26007	independent	40302541664
#26026	independent	40313981294

This issue is a NAME, not a diagnosis. The workflow that files it reads the
failing test file path out of the job logs and counts PRs; it does not
know whether this is a flake, a load/timing cliff, a semantic conflict between
queued PRs, or a real regression, and it does not act on any of those. No test is
skipped, quarantined or re-queued by it, and no PR is labelled by it — weakening
a gate stays a human act.

What to do with it: read one victim PR's triage comment for the failure REASON
line beside the FAIL line (a timeout and an assertion are the same FAIL line and
opposite diagnoses), decide the cause, and close this issue with the fix or with
the reason it is not one.

Last refreshed by queue build 40313981294 (PR #26026).

Filed by the merge-queue-triage workflow (#4859, aggregation #10128).

⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Not a timeout: both hits (PR refactor(spec): share the form object-name resolver with lint #25979, PR fix(service-analytics)!: a filtered dataset measure asked as CUBE.MEASURE applies its filter, as the bare name does #26007) are AssertionError: expected 1 to be +0 on the ⭐ CONTROL case: the runVitestList() subprocess exits 1 where 0 is expected. It passed on refactor(spec): share the form object-name resolver with lint #25979's own head. The control asserts a child process's exit code, so a load-induced child failure, such as a timeout inside the child, would read as an assertion.
The dev first captures the child's stderr in the failing shape. If the child dies on time or memory, make the control's child cheap. If it fails on content, that is a real regression and gets traced. ⛔ No quarantine.

Ruling-ref: triage first grade (2026-10-26T10:55Z): capture the child's stderr in the failing shape; if the child dies on time or memory, make the control's child cheap; if it fails on content, trace the regression. ⛔ No quarantine, no skip, no raised timeout. The #18788 pin's verdicts stay (--hookTimeout and --teardownTimeout refuse, --testTimeout passes, the no-override control passes silently). Split agreed with domain:server#2: p1/p2 intake resumes ahead of p3.
File surface: packages/cli/test/hook-timeout-override-refusal.test.ts and any test fixture it lists. Product code in packages/cli/** only after a ruling (report needs_decision first). ⛔ No packages/spec/** (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: S, mode:thread, default model and effort (set at thread open)
Clause-②: no
Metadata-protocol: none
Responsibility: the ⭐ CONTROL child of runVitestList() exits 1 under merge-queue load (#25979, #26007, #26026 ejected)
Thread-read: none
Premise: holds (read 2026-10-26T12:17Z at origin/main 0a6948210c: card open, unassigned, pm:queue, no claim; the control spawns a whole-package vitest list via execFileSync)
Serial constraints cleared: no open PR touches packages/cli/test/hook-timeout-override-refusal.test.ts; the dev re-measures before pr_create

Sibling tests in the same slice render scaffolds into tmp and delete them (init-template-comments-self-contained: render-init-app, render-init-plugin, render-create-plugin; scaffold-manifest-schema: manifest-init-app, manifest-init-plugin), and those scaffolds contain real test files (package.test.ts, src/index.test.ts). When a delete lands mid-walk, the child's config load throws ENOENT (scandir or open) and vitest list exits 1: exactly `expected 1 to be +0`. The fix belongs in vitest-tiers.ts, which the claim keeps behind a ruling, so I stopped there. Pushed so far: test-only commit 36b2670d, whose status assertions now carry the child's exit and the bounded head of its output.",
  "tests": "All on origin/main 0a6948210c, cli closure built.

Error: ENOENT ... packages/cli/tmp/manifest-init-plugin-XXXX/package.test.ts` or `.../render-create-plugin-XXXX/src/index.test.ts`. The same loop beside the i18n/config neighbours only: 0 of 104 (they churn shallow trees once per file). (2) Load alone falsified: the test file 5 runs beside 8 busy loops on 4 cores, no tmp churn: 5 of 5 green, file 27.5 to 31.3 s, control case 6.7 to 7.7 s against the 27 s budget. (3) Watcher on all three CI slices (OS_TEST_SHARD k/3, the whole package): the only directories that appear or vanish in the package tree are under tmp/; the slice holding this test churned 25 (render-*). (4) The outer `vitest run` config load dies the same way under churn (`failed to load config`), so this is not only the pin's problem. (5) New message, measured red under synthetic churn: `AssertionError: vitest list exited 1; its output began: failed to load config from packages/cli/vitest.config.ts ...

Long-term soundness: it fixes the producer, the population definition, so the outer vitest run and every other child (vitest-tiers-partition, the qa config-wiring sweep) stop racing too, and a gitignored scratch dir can never contribute a test file (tmp/ is ignored by the root .gitignore). Against AI mistakes: it narrows a contract instead of adding consumer tolerance (C). Startup scope: one line plus one pin, no new gate, no product or spec surface."

Claim amendment: PM loop round 8 · seat ruling on report 6417845677 (needs_decision) · branch claude/project-thread-1nrz43 unchanged
Seat: domain:server#1 · session_01R1q2xdtYgU6FKrZ7LgjPCC
Ruling: A. Add tmp to SKIP_DIRS in packages/cli/vitest-tiers.ts, so the config-load walk never reads the gitignored scratch tree that sibling tests write and delete while it runs.
Why A, on the four axes:

Business need (measured): the ⭐ CONTROL child's config load throws ENOENT when a sibling deletes a scaffold mid-walk. It reproduced on main in 3 of 132 runs; under A it was 0 of 128.
Long-term soundness: a gitignored scratch dir is never a test source. The walk counting it is the defect, and A removes it at its one source, leaving the population unchanged at 506 files.
Guarding AI against mistakes: B moves about 13 files' scratch dirs, and every future scaffold test would have to remember the rule. C tolerates ENOENT, which would hide a real missing file. A is one entry that holds structurally.
No scope creep: one line, and it adds no gate.
Not B and not C.
File surface (widened): adds packages/cli/vitest-tiers.ts (the SKIP_DIRS entry plus its comment) to packages/cli/test/hook-timeout-override-refusal.test.ts. Keep the pin's exit-and-output carriage already on 36b2670d. ⛔ Still no product code and no packages/spec/**. If check-tier-file-adoption or the test-input census reads SKIP_DIRS, keep it green and report it.
Changeset: skip-changeset if vitest-tiers.ts is outside @objectstack/cli's published files[] (the dev measures this and states it in the body); otherwise a patch.
