Summary

CLI coverage sharding now uses current timing evidence, lane-specific stable ownership, and a live 12-shard balance contract. CI coverage shards apply a two-worker cap from the validated shard environment in Vitest configuration, so pull-request CI can exercise the cap while retaining the base-trusted composite-action boundary.

Related Issue

Advances #6237. This PR covers the current profile, shard balance, and bounded-worker slice. The issue remains open for repeated cold-cache and post-merge reliability criteria.

Changes

  • Record per-file timing maxima from three exact successful cli-vitest-results artifacts, with a complete source ledger.
  • Recalibrate stable CLI, serialized integration, and E2E-support salts for the current test graph.
  • Evaluate the canonical live roster across all 12 CI shards, with separate complete-roster and serialized-integration balance bounds.
  • Apply a two-worker cap when CI provides a valid CLI_SHARD and CLI_SHARD_COUNT pair.
  • Configure the cap in vitest.config.ts, where the pull-request checkout can exercise it even though the composite action is loaded from the trusted base revision.
  • Remove the prior one-worker action flag, which PR CI could not exercise and which over-serialized the modeled workload.
  • Keep the 12-shard matrix, 15-minute job cap, retry policy, and base-trusted action execution unchanged.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with doc updates
  • Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
  • Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
  • Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — detailed trust-boundary review below; the base-trusted composite action remains unchanged for pull requests.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — no waiver requested; the exact-head full run is required.

Security Review

  • Secrets and credentials: pass; no credential or secret path changes.
  • Input validation: pass; shard values must be positive integers and the index must not exceed the count before the cap applies.
  • Authentication and authorization: pass; pull requests continue executing the composite action from the trusted base revision.
  • Dependencies: pass; no dependency changes.
  • Error handling and logging: pass; malformed or missing shard context does not activate the special scheduling path.
  • Cryptography and data protection: pass; SHA-256 remains limited to deterministic test assignment.
  • Configuration and security headers: pass; only CI test-worker scheduling changes.
  • Security testing: pass; focused tests cover valid, missing, malformed, local, and out-of-range shard contexts.
  • System security: pass; loader concurrency is bounded to two workers without increasing timeouts, retries, or privileges.

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

  • Tested on DGX Station
  • Tested commit:
  • Station profile/scenario:
  • Result:
  • Supporting evidence:

Verification

  • PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
  • Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
  • Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — scheduler, sequencer, and workflow-contract suites passed 47/47 tests.
  • Applicable broad gate passed — exact-head hosted CI is in progress; local npm run typecheck and npm run lint -- --no-cache passed.
  • Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
  • npm run docs builds without warnings (doc changes only)
  • Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
  • New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

Hosted-runner acceptance

The exact-head full run is the deciding evidence. All 12 shard jobs must complete within the unchanged 15-minute cap, upload their blob reports, and produce successful cli-tests and required checks contexts without retries.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR upgrades CLI timing hints to schema version 2, validates multiple timing sources, refreshes measured test durations, and updates coverage sequencing for the discovered roster and twelve CI shards. The shard action now runs with one worker.

Changes

CLI timing hints and coverage sequencing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timing-hint schema and validation
test/helpers/cli-coverage-sequencer.ts
The contract requires schema version 2, a non-empty sources array, valid artifact metadata, and updated shard salts.
Timing-hint manifest data
ci/cli-test-timing-hints.json
The manifest records three timing sources and updated durations for current test files.
Coverage roster and shard execution
test/cli-coverage-sequencer.test.ts, .github/actions/ci-cli-coverage-shard/action.yaml, test/pr-workflow-contract.test.ts
Tests use the discovered coverage roster, validate twelve-shard assignments and source metadata, reject malformed manifests, and verify one-worker shard execution.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 60b7a

This internal CI change rebalances CLI coverage shards and limits trusted coverage runs to one worker without changing job limits, retries, or user-facing behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks; the remaining broad-check warning is in untouched Dockerfiles.

Security Review

Verdict

PASS. This change is limited to deterministic test-shard assignment and CI timing metadata. It adds no production runtime path, external input, privilege change, secret flow, dependency, network operation, or security-control bypass. Normal CI and review gates still apply.

Findings

No security findings.

Detailed Analysis

  1. Secrets and Credentials — PASS. The change does not read, store, log, or transmit credentials.
  2. Input Validation and Data Sanitization — PASS. The manifest parser validates the schema version, positive integer bounds, source metadata, revision identifier shape, and timestamp format. File keys reject absolute paths, backslashes, traversal segments, empty names, and invalid durations.
  3. Authentication and Authorization — PASS. No authentication, authorization, ownership, or permission boundary changes.
  4. Dependencies and Third-Party Libraries — PASS. No dependency or downloaded runtime artifact changes. The three timing-source records match successful repository CI runs and available cli-vitest-results artifacts.
  5. Error Handling and Logging — PASS. Malformed manifests and shard entries fail closed through explicit validation errors. No new logs or diagnostic data paths.
  6. Cryptography and Data Protection — PASS. SHA-256 is used only for deterministic shard mapping, not as a security or data-protection mechanism. No sensitive data is introduced.
  7. Configuration and Security Headers — PASS. No deployed configuration, container, browser, network, or policy defaults change.
  8. Security Testing — PASS. The focused suite covers malformed manifests, stable ownership, complete assignment, current-roster balance, and lane selection. All eight focused tests and the repository checks pass.
  9. System Security — PASS. The change does not reorder, bypass, or move a security control. It affects CI test placement only.

CI Blocker

The full run passed every non-shard gate and shards 1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Those seven shards completed in 7:49 to 9:47. Shards 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 reached the repository’s 15-minute job limit and were canceled.

The checked-in balance test predicts shard totals between 1,085,105 ms and 1,160,652 ms, within its 5% bound. The observed wall times do not follow that prediction. Summed per-file timing weights therefore do not yet model the parallel coverage workload well enough to satisfy the required gate.

This remediation needs a revised, reproducible assignment model or profile that passes a complete full run. I will not guess new salts or rerun the unchanged layout.

Automated Review Follow-Up

The valid timing-source validation finding is fixed in the current revision. The focused test now rejects empty source lists, missing artifact identifiers, non-positive artifact identifiers, and non-integer artifact identifiers.

Validation:

  • npx vitest run test/cli-coverage-sequencer.test.ts passes all 12 tests.
  • npm run checks:repository passes.
  • The normal pre-push CLI type check passes.

The CI shard assignment blocker remains open and will be judged by the fresh full run.

Shard Model Follow-Up

Two complete runs with the prior mapping put shards 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 at the 15-minute job limit. The three recorded timing artifacts also show why the combined estimate was insufficient: integration files run serially in CI, while the CLI and E2E-support lanes use different scheduling.

The current revision gives the serialized integration lane an independent stable mapping. It preserves the existing 5% combined-profile bound and adds a 10% bound for the serialized lane. Against the three recorded timing sources, the slowest integration assignment falls from about 322 seconds to 242 seconds.

Validation:

  • The focused sequencer suite passes all 13 tests.
  • npm run checks:repository passes.
  • Normal pre-commit and pre-push checks pass.
  • The new commit is signed off and verified by GitHub.

The prior run also had one unrelated timeout in the unchanged MCP policy stress test. That file passes five consecutive focused runs locally, with all 39 tests completing in 1.42 to 1.80 seconds per run. The fresh full run will determine both the revised distribution and whether that timeout was transient.

Combined Validation

The contributor’s worker-cap revision includes the lane-aware remap without conflict. The one-worker setting directly addresses the event-loop starvation seen in the prior transient test deadlines, while the integration mapping reduces the serialized lane’s measured maximum.

The combined sequencer and workflow-contract suites pass all 27 tests. Repository checks also pass. The new contributor commits are signed off and verified by GitHub. The current full run remains the deciding evidence for job-limit compliance.

Exact head 9ed2069afdbfdfe3043d5ca6229a77788a7c2589 is not merge-ready yet. Full PR run 32550646342 failed shards 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 plus cli-tests and required checks, but the trusted workflow checked out the shard action from base a5486894c45140259d822625e74d1ccdfce807ee. Its rendered Vitest command does not contain this PR's --maxWorkers=1, so the failure reproduces the current-base defect and cannot validate the proposed action change.

Both valid CodeRabbit findings are fixed and resolved, all review threads are resolved, and the exact-head Advisor result is merge_as_is with no findings. The remaining bootstrap gate is an independent maintainer approval that explicitly accepts the six shard timeouts, cli-tests, and checks for run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32550646342 under #6237. After that approval, record the acceptance in the PR body and use the existing metadata-only edit path to obtain a successful required checks context on the unchanged head and base. Do not merge without that approval and the complete required-context recheck.

The first real worker-cap proof must come from CI / Main after merge, where the trusted revision contains the changed action. Require exactly one --maxWorkers=1 in every rendered shard command, all 12 shard jobs and blob artifacts, merged coverage, and main checks within the unchanged 15-minute caps and without retries. #6237 remains open for the accepted cold-run and reliability criteria.

Trusted current-main run 32551354366 at 226b7b4f7b70a3cd8fbe4e0100ffd381e1df78ff reproduces the same 15-minute timeout cohort on shards 1, 2, 5, 7, and 12. This confirms the required-check failure is already present on main and is not attributable to #9950.

PR CI still loads .github/actions/ci-cli-coverage-shard from the base SHA, so it cannot exercise this PR’s --maxWorkers=1 change. An independent maintainer approval and explicit non-success disposition remain required. The first direct proof of the worker cap will be trusted post-merge main CI with exactly one --maxWorkers=1 in every rendered shard command, all 12 blob uploads, and no timeout increase or retry.

Issue #6237 remains open for the accepted repeated-run and reliability criteria.
