OMN-16824 — one semantic for check_type: test_passes

check_type: test_passes meant two different things in two runners:

  • node_dod_verify (omnimarket) — executes check_value, honours the check's cwd.
  • hosted Contract Compliance Check (this repo) — ignored check_value entirely and reported whether the PR's own CI was green.

The same contract entry was a behaviour proof to one gate and a PR-status proxy to the other, and nothing in the schema, the docs, or the authoring surface said so. Compounding it, _check_command passed cwd=workspace unconditionally and never read the check's cwd, so a cross-repo check silently resolved its paths against the wrong tree.

AC1 — decision and rationale: option (a), the hosted runner executes

Chosen: (a). The hosted runner now executes the check the same way node_dod_verify does, on a single dispatch branch shared with check_type: command.

Why not (b) (split the schema into two check types):

  • The corpus was measured first: 99 test_passes checks across 80 contracts, every one of them command-shaped (uv run pytest …, npm run test, …). Not one was authored as a PR-CI assertion. A migration under (b) would have re-typed 99 entries to say what their authors already wrote.
  • The PR-status reading could never go RED for the reason the entry claimed. An entry asserting "the new regression test passes" returned PASS whenever unrelated CI was green — including when the named test did not exist. That is not a second legitimate semantic worth preserving under its own name; it is an unfalsifiable one.
  • A contract that genuinely wants PR CI state can still say so in the open: check_type: command + gh pr checks <n> --repo <owner>/<repo>. The classifier then scores it as merge-state, which is what it is.

Both readings are not left live: the PR-check-state code path and its two constants are deleted, not made switchable.

AC2 — cwd is read, or the check is declined

_resolve_check_cwd mirrors node_dod_verify._resolve_cwd: ${OMNI_HOME} / ${PR_NUMBER} / ${REPO} / ${TICKET_ID} tokens, .. refused, resolved path must exist and be a directory. Relative cwd resolves against the workspace.

A cwd this runner cannot resolve is NOT_EVALUATED with an actionable message naming execution_scope: local_done_gate — never rerouted to workspace. Running the command in a different tree answers a different question under the entry's name, which is the defect, not the fix. A test asserts the command did not execute anywhere (the probe would have created a file; no such file exists afterwards).

Also folded in, because it is the same "one semantic" property: commands now execute under bash -o pipefail -c (was sh -c), matching node_dod_verify since OMN-15382. Under sh a pipeline reported only its last stage, so gh api … | grep -q X passed when the gh call itself failed.

And: a contract whose every check was NOT_EVALUATED previously printed "All executable DoD checks satisfied." It now prints the honest nothing-proven line.

AC3 — the ambiguity test

tests/fixtures/check_type_runner_semantics.yaml is the shared, executable statement of the semantic. It is checked into this repo and omnimarket, and each repo runs the identical cases against its own runner — the hosted gate here, EvidenceCollector there. Each repo pins the parsed-content digest (canonical JSON, so a yamlfmt reflow is not a false alarm), so an edit on one side fails that side's test rather than passing unnoticed.

Seven cases: a failing command refuses; the passing control verifies; command and test_passes agree on the same check_value; a declared cwd is honoured (the file exists only there); a cwd is not a search path; an unresolvable cwd refuses instead of relocating; a pipeline whose first stage fails refuses.

Companion PR: OmniNode-ai/omnimarket#PLACEHOLDER_MARKET_PR.

AC4 — falsifiability proven by execution

Through run_compliance_check itself, with every gh call mocked to report a fully green PR:

Before (same input, pre-fix runner):

[DoD dod-deliberately-failing] A test_passes entry whose check_value fails on purpose
  [+] test_passes: All 1 CI checks green
[SUMMARY] OMN-16824: 1/1 PASS, 0 WARN, 0 BLOCK
[PASS] All executable DoD checks satisfied.          → exit 0

After:

  [X] test_passes: Command failed (exit 4): pytest tests/test_omn16824_no_such_test.py
[SUMMARY] OMN-16824: 0/1 PASS, 0 WARN, 1 BLOCK
[BLOCK] 1 check(s) failed. PR cannot merge until resolved.   → exit 1

with the discriminating control (a passing check_value) still exit 0. The runner is additionally asserted to make no gh pr checks call at all, so the substituted question cannot return by another route.

AC5 — corpus effect, measured

Measured against the live contracts/ corpus with the post-fix resolver:

Quantity Value
test_passes checks that never executed their check_value on the hosted gate 99, across 80 contracts
…that are command-shaped 99 / 99
…that are INADMISSIBLE under the runner's own predicate once executed 0 — so nothing is newly demoted to INERT
executed checks declaring a cwd 28 (13 test_passes + 15 command) across 12 contracts
distinct cwd values all five are ${OMNI_HOME}/<repo>
…that now DECLINE in a hosted checkout (OMNI_HOME unset) 28 / 28
…of those, in hosted_and_local items (verdict actually changes) 23, across 8 contracts
…already local_done_gate (skipped before checks run, unchanged) 5

Those 23 previously either ran in the wrong tree (command) or did not run at all and reported PR CI state (test_passes). They now report NOT_EVALUATED with a reason. A decline never turns a green PR red — it removes a false green; the only new RED path is a check_value that genuinely fails.

behavior_proving_count: unchanged by this PR, and the honest reason is that the hosted gate never computed it. grep puts the field only in node_dod_verify's contract, state model, completed-event model, and handler — the local runner is its sole producer. The local/hosted split recorded in OMN-16757 / OMN-16784 / OMN-16785 comes from those items being scoped execution_scope: local_done_gate, which the hosted gate skips by design.

Is the local_done_gate workaround still required for cross-repo legs? Yes. The hosted contract-compliance job checks out exactly one product repo and never sets OMNI_HOME (verified: no OMNI_HOME assignment anywhere in .github/workflows/ci.yml), so a ${OMNI_HOME}/<other-repo> cwd cannot resolve there under any semantic. What changed is that the gate now says so instead of passing accidentally. Giving cross-repo legs a real hosted execution path needs the sibling checkout in that job — filed as a residual on the ticket, deliberately not smuggled into this PR.

AC6 — documented on the authoring surface

  • docs/CHECK_TYPES.md (new) — what every check_type does in each runner, the cwd rules, the shell, the two properties every check needs. An author never has to read a runner's source.
  • docs/TEMPLATE_GUIDE.md — the stale "run from the onex_change_control repo root" sentence is corrected (it runs in the product checkout under test) and links to the new page.
  • ModelDodCheck docstring — the schema itself now states the executed reading and the cwd decline rule.

Overlap with the related tickets

  • OMN-14432 (check_type is a self-declared trust boundary — test_passes short-circuits the substance floor before the command allowlist runs): still open, deliberately. classify_evidence_item continues to short-circuit test_passes to ADMISSIBLE. This PR makes that short-circuit's stated reason true for the first time ("executes behaviour … and goes RED when that behaviour is wrong"), but routing test_passes through the full shell analysis is that ticket's call. Measured for it while here: all 99 corpus entries are admissible under the full analysis too, so closing it is a zero-corpus-impact change.
  • OMN-14455 (contracts are not repo-portable) — the cwd half of this ticket is a concrete instance; this PR makes the unportable case loud rather than silent.

Verification

  • uv run pytest tests/test_omn16824_test_passes_semantics.py -q → 20 passed
  • uv run pytest tests/test_contract_compliance_check.py -q → 71 passed (4 tests that pinned the PR-CI reading replaced by 2 that pin the executed one)
  • contract/receipt-adjacent suites (substance_floor, contract_shape_v1_*, dod_evidence_schema, auto_scaffold_contract, dod_authoring, admissibility_parity) → 279 passed
  • uv run mypy src/ --strict → Success, 162 source files
  • uv run ruff format + ruff check src/ tests/ → clean

…he hosted gate

One check_type, two live semantics. node_dod_verify (omnimarket) executes
check_value and honours the check's cwd; the hosted Contract Compliance Check
ignored check_value entirely and reported whether the PR's own CI was green. The
same contract entry was a behaviour proof to one gate and a PR-status proxy to
the other, and nothing said so. Compounding it, _check_command passed
cwd=workspace unconditionally and never read the check's cwd, so a cross-repo
check silently resolved its paths against the wrong tree.

AC1 option (a): the hosted runner now EXECUTES the check the same way, on one
dispatch branch shared with check_type: command.

- _check_test_passes delegates to _check_command; the PR-check-state path and
  its two constants are deleted, not left switchable.
- _resolve_check_cwd honours the declared cwd (${OMNI_HOME}/${PR_NUMBER}/
  ${REPO}/${TICKET_ID} tokens, .. refused, must exist), mirroring
  node_dod_verify's _resolve_cwd. A cwd this runner cannot resolve is
  NOT_EVALUATED with an actionable message, never rerouted to workspace --
  running the command in a different tree answers a different question under
  the entry's name.
- commands execute under bash -o pipefail -c (was sh -c), so a failing first
  pipeline stage is not masked; node_dod_verify has run them this way since
  OMN-15382.
- a contract whose every check was NOT_EVALUATED previously printed "All
  executable DoD checks satisfied"; it now prints the honest nothing-proven
  line.

Ambiguity test (AC3): tests/fixtures/check_type_runner_semantics.yaml is
checked into onex_change_control and omnimarket with the parsed-content digest
pinned in both, and is executed against BOTH runners -- the hosted gate here,
node_dod_verify there. Seven cases cover execution, the alias, cwd honoured,
cwd not a search path, unresolvable cwd, and pipefail.

Falsifiability by execution (AC4): with every gh call mocked green,
run_compliance_check returns 1 on a contract whose test_passes check_value
fails and 0 on the passing control. Before this change the same input printed
"[+] test_passes: All 1 CI checks green" and returned 0.

AC6: docs/CHECK_TYPES.md is the authoring surface -- what each check_type does
in each runner, the cwd rules, the shell. TEMPLATE_GUIDE's stale "run from the
onex_change_control repo root" sentence is corrected and links to it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change defines unified command and test_passes execution semantics. Both checks now honor cwd, reject unresolved directories as NOT_EVALUATED, and run through bash -o pipefail. Contracts, documentation, shared fixtures, and hosted compliance tests capture the behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4426f

This PR changes the hosted gate to execute test_passes commands and honor cwd, but unresolved template variables can still run checks in the wrong directory and test_passes can bypass the command safety guard, risking incorrect results or unintended external access. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and security fixes.

- Around line 13-16: Update the two-runner guarantee in the documentation to
apply only to check types supported by both runners, and clarify that the
semantics table’s “—” denotes unsupported behavior rather than an implementation
requirement. Keep the existing shared-contract and byte-for-byte table
references intact.

In `@docs/TEMPLATE_GUIDE.md`:
- Around line 177-179: Update the DoD checks description near the “Type” and
“Description” entries so only checks with check_type “command” or “test_passes”
are described as using shell commands; clarify that other supported check types
use their respective value formats, while preserving the existing runner,
working-directory, and exit-status details for command-based checks.

In `@src/onex_change_control/scripts/contract_compliance_check.py`:
- Around line 855-890: Update _non_hermetic_reason to apply the existing
hermetic-command validation to both check_type values, command and test_passes,
since _check_test_passes delegates execution to _check_command. Add a regression
test covering a non-hermetic test_passes command such as ssh, docker, or
external curl and assert it is rejected consistently with command.
- Around line 753-763: Update the cwd_template substitution logic to detect any
supported placeholder whose resolved value is empty before replacement, and
return NOT_EVALUATED instead of evaluating the resulting path. Apply this to
substitutions in the existing rendering flow while preserving unresolved-token
and blank-template handling.
