Summary

Every flaky/broken test in the full-suite baseline run is fixed at the root cause — the suite now passes 2437 files / 50,530 tests clean, and the slowest file dropped from 572s to ~5s.

Baseline evidence (full scripts/run_tests.sh run on this box): 4 test failures across 4 files, 2 collection errors, and 1 FLAKY retry — all reproduced, traced, and fixed below. No test was deleted or weakened; two genuinely-quadratic production regexes in agent/redact.py were fixed as the underlying class.

Changes

  • 11 test files — removed sys.path.insert(0, dirname(__file__)/".."): it prepends tests/ itself, so import agent / import hermes_cli resolve to the test packages (they have __init__.py) and collection dies with ModuleNotFoundError depending on import order. 2 files failed every run; 9 more were the same latent class (fixed all sites).
  • tests/agent/test_context_compressor.py — 5 tests called compress() without patching call_llm, silently attempting live LLM traffic (~50s connect/retry each). Patched to the fast failure path. File: 572s → ~5s, and no longer trips the 300s per-file timeout (the baseline FLAKY).
  • agent/redact.py — the compressor's redaction pass exposed two catastrophic-backtracking regexes on large payloads:
    • _STRICT_URL_USERINFO_RE: optional-scheme prefix backtracked O(n²) — ~55s on a 320KB payload. Now anchors on the mandatory // (scheme was outside the replacement either way). Output-equivalence fuzz-verified on 20k random strings + targeted URL forms.
    • _CFG_DOTTED_RE/_CFG_ANCHORED_RE subs: added an exact linear keyword pre-gate (_CFG_SECRET_WORD_RE.search) — text without any secret keyword can never match, so secret-free blobs skip the quadratic pattern entirely.
  • tests/gateway/test_feishu.py — extra_ua_tags SDK signature check now skips below the repo pin (lark-oapi==1.6.8); stale lazy-installed 1.5.3 on dev boxes failed a check that only measures the environment, not the product.
  • tests/tools/test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py — the fake agent package (empty __path__) blocks every real agent.* import added since it was written; stubbed agent.redact + agent.credential_persistence.
  • tests/gateway/test_startup_restart_race.py — wait_for timeouts 2s → 30s (loaded 40-worker box flaked; skill rule: loose wall-clock bounds).

Validation

Infographic

Cluster A infographic

…nmocked network in compressor tests, stale-SDK feishu pin guard, quadratic redact regexes

- Remove tests/-shadowing sys.path.insert(dirname/'..') from 11 test files:
  it prepended the tests/ dir itself to sys.path, so 'import agent' /
  'import hermes_cli' resolved to the test packages and collection died
  with ModuleNotFoundError depending on import order (2 files failed in
  every full-suite run; 9 more were latent).
- Patch call_llm in 5 context-compressor tests that called compress()
  unmocked: each burned ~50s attempting live LLM traffic through the
  relay before falling back (572s file — the slowest in the suite, and
  flaky under the 300s per-file timeout). File now runs in ~5s.
- agent/redact.py: fix two catastrophically-backtracking regexes hit by
  the compressor's redaction pass on large payloads —
  _STRICT_URL_USERINFO_RE anchors on the mandatory '//' (optional-scheme
  prefix backtracked O(n^2): ~55s on a 320KB payload, now sub-ms;
  output-equivalence fuzz-verified on 20k random strings), and the
  _CFG_DOTTED_RE/_CFG_ANCHORED_RE subs gain an exact linear keyword
  pre-gate so secret-free text skips the quadratic pattern entirely.
- tests/gateway/test_feishu.py: version-guard the extra_ua_tags SDK
  signature check; the repo pins lark-oapi==1.6.8 but stale local
  installs (1.5.3) fail the assertion — skip below the pin.
- tests/tools/test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py: stub
  agent.redact + agent.credential_persistence in the fake agent package
  (empty __path__ blocks all real agent.* imports added since the fake
  was written).
- tests/gateway/test_startup_restart_race.py: raise wait_for timeouts
  2s -> 30s; 2s wall-clock on a loaded 40-worker box flaked in the
  baseline run (passes instantly when the box is quiet).
