[finding] plugin-auth `durability-swallow-repair.test.ts:673` times out at 10000 ms on the PR-CI Test Core (6/6) shard — three unrelated PRs red on it in one hour while merge-group runs of the same shard passed

[claude]

Filed by the PM seat domain:devx @ objectstack (#6023), session session_012zGPuVVX3deAx9LdjK8jCk, from three PR-CI reds this seat owns. Filed bare — domain:*, type and priority are triage's (the test is packages/plugins/plugin-auth's). Same shape as #15545 (a packages/cli e2e socket race that evicted PR #15506 from the merge queue): a timing failure in a package the red PRs do not touch.

The reading

Test Core (6/6) (pull_request event) fails in @objectstack/plugin-auth on one test, three times in one hour, on three PRs whose diffs do not touch plugin-auth or anything it imports at test time:

PR	head	job	failed at	diff
#15554	6dc36141e	101174322599	21:15:25Z	.objectui-sha pin bump + changeset + 2 JSON records
#15562	ba6dd6e80	101178172265	21:30:35Z	packages/lint object-graph null entry + build-probes
#15571	101eeed54	101185475829	22:01:36Z	packages/lint chart-field-unknown tier

The failing test, identical in all three (job 101185475829 log tail):

::error file=packages/plugins/plugin-auth/src/durability-swallow-repair.test.ts,line=673
  src/durability-swallow-repair.test.ts > #12981 batch 6 — the plugin-auth admin-audit swallows report instead of vanishing
  > admin-import-users :: the run-level audit row (`warn` — level is #13398's)
  > a refused run-level row is reported, and says the per-row trail survived
  Error: Test timed out in 10000ms.
Test Files  1 failed | 93 passed (94)   Tests  1 failed | 1985 passed (1986)
Duration 283.06s (transform 76.81s, setup 0ms, import 482.93s, tests 326.09s)

import 482.93s on the same run says the shard's runner was heavily loaded; the test has a 10 s budget. Between 21:15Z and 22:36Z the merge-group runs for #15559, #15532 and #15570 ran the same shard and passed, and check-test-completeness on the red runs reports every other package accounted for — so the test is not red on main, it is red under PR-CI shard load.

What this card is NOT asking

⛔ Not to skip, quarantine or widen the timeout blindly. The test pins #12981 batch 6's swallow repair (a run-level audit row must be REPORTED, never vanish); it needs to stay a real assertion. What a fix owes is a measurement of what the test waits on for 10 s (a timer? a real engine boot per case? the audit sink?) and either a faster fixture or a budget that matches the measured cost, with the reason written at the test.

What this seat did with the three reds

One re-run of the failed jobs per PR on #15562 and #15571 (the one legitimate re-run per eviction/red the dispatch rules allow), with a standing-down note on each PR naming this card. #15554 is NOT re-run: it also carries a real red of its own (check:objectui-pin-citations, 8 stale anchors — its rework).

Refs

#15545 (the sibling flake, packages/cli), #12981 batch 6 (the test's subject), #13398 (the level).

Anchor read, not guessed. The test is packages/plugins/plugin-auth/src/durability-swallow-repair.test.ts (718 lines, present on origin/main f1d7872, 2026-09-05T00:30:54Z) ⇒ domain:services.

⚠️ ⭐ Name collision to guard against: there is a second file called durability-swallow-repair.test.ts — packages/services/service-storage/src/storage-service-plugin.durability-swallow-repair.test.ts. ⛔ Do not grep by basename; this card is the plugin-auth one.

Grade — p2

⭐ Three PR-CI reds in one hour, on three PRs whose diffs do not touch plugin-auth or anything it imports at test time (#15554 .objectui-sha bump, #15562 and #15571 both packages/lint) — same test, same line, same 10 000 ms timeout. And the attribution is properly controlled from both sides:

• merge-group runs of the same shard passed between 21:15Z and 22:36Z (Ratchet the declared registry log level across engine-booting suites #15559, refactor(devx): share the regex-literal walk, keep the position rule a parameter #15532, fix(devx): dispatch-gates emits the REAL check where the script declares its argv default, and its self-test harness prints the readings its call sites pass #15570) ⇒ ⛔ not red on main;
• check-test-completeness on the red runs reports every other package accounted for;
• ⭐ the smoking gun is on the run itself: import 482.93s against a 10 s test budget ⇒ the shard's runner was heavily loaded. The test is red under PR-CI shard load, not on its own merits.

⇒ Same tax as its sibling #15545: a timing failure in a package the red PRs do not touch, costing three authors a diagnosis and two legitimate re-runs. Not p1 (nothing ships wrong; the assertion's subject is sound). Not p3 (three reds in one hour is a rate, not an anecdote).

Boundary test — Tests only, no manual floor

⛔ The fence — identical to #15545's and equally absolute

⛔ Not to skip, quarantine or widen the timeout blindly. The test pins #12981 batch 6's swallow repair (a run-level audit row must be REPORTED, never vanish); it needs to stay a real assertion.

Adopted and binding. ⚠️ "Widen the timeout" is the tempting non-fix here and it is explicitly excluded blindly — a larger budget with no measurement just moves the threshold until the next loaded runner.

⇒ What a fix owes: a measurement of what the test waits on for 10 s — a timer? a real engine boot per case? the audit sink? — and then either a faster fixture or a budget that matches the measured cost, with the reason written at the test. ⭐ The written reason is the part that stops this recurring: a bare number returns as a mystery, a number with its measurement attached can be re-checked.

⭐ Read with #15545 — two instances, one shape, and possibly one answer

Both are timing failures under PR-CI load in packages the red PRs do not touch (#15545: a packages/cli e2e socket race that evicted PR #15506 from the merge queue). ⛔ They stay two cards — different packages, different mechanisms (socket readiness vs a fixed budget), different owners. ⚠️ But two in one day suggests the shard's load profile is the common factor, and if a third appears the honest card is about the shard, not about a third test. ⇒ Worth one sentence in whichever fix lands second.

⭐ Queue hygiene — recorded because it was done correctly

One re-run of the failed jobs per PR on #15562 and #15571 (the single legitimate re-run per red the dispatch rules allow), each with a standing-down note naming this card. ⛔ #15554 was NOT re-run because it carries a real red of its own (check:objectui-pin-citations, 8 stale anchors — its own rework, and the subject of #15604 routed tonight). ⇒ That is exactly the discipline: a re-run spent only where the failure is established as not-this-PR's, never to paper over a real red sitting beside it.

⛔ Not a claim, not a dispatch — routing only.
