Registers the three unit tests that cover the mutated sources but were absent from
tap.testFiles, which is what Fast Quality Gates was failing on.

$ node scripts/check/check-mutation-test-coverage.mjs --strict   # pristine base f1e7148c1, zero diff
✗ mutation coverage: 3 test files cover mutated sources but are not registered

Added, at their correct sorted positions:

• tests/unit/combo-identical-error-streak.test.ts
• tests/unit/13601-header-drop-count-surfaced.test.ts
• tests/unit/semantic-cache-no-truncated-writes.test.ts

Verified individually green (8 + 3 + 3 = 14/14), and mutation-tested: removing the
three entries turns the gate red again, restoring them turns it green.

Scope reduction — both original fixes were already landed on base

This PR was opened against an older base. Rebasing onto release/v3.8.51 (f1e7148c1)
showed both defects had already been fixed upstream, so both commits were dropped:

1. npm run test terminating — already fixed by fix(test): cap local unit-test concurrency at 4 to avoid exhausting commit charge #13187 (178d25250). Base's test
   script carries --test-force-exit on both node invocations and already ends with
   && npm run test:unit:serial. Nothing left to fix, and the delegation this PR added
   additionally reversed fix(test): cap local unit-test concurrency at 4 to avoid exhausting commit charge #13187's deliberate --test-concurrency=4 cap to 20 —
   measured on the same tree and suite, 20 produced 356 cancelled tests via
   'Promise resolution is still pending but the event loop has already resolved'
   against 0 at concurrency 4. It also tripped
   tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts, which asserts every parallel runner
   script ends with the serial step (base 4/4 pass → branch 3/4).
2. RAYCAST env-doc sync — moot. ENVIRONMENT.md no longer exists at the repo root
   in base, and check-env-doc-sync reports in-sync on pristine f1e7148c1.

package.json is therefore byte-identical to base; stryker.conf.json +3 is the entire diff.

Remaining red gates are base debt, not this diff

• API Route Typecheck — src/lib/providerModels/modelDiscovery.ts:355 passes an
  untyped record.metadataProvenance into SyncedAvailableModel, whose
  metadataProvenance requires vertexDocs (required since fix(vertex): discover and route partner models correctly #12471). Reproduced on
  pristine f1e7148c1 with zero diff.
• Unit Tests fast-path 1/2/3 of 4 — the failing assertions live in 4 test files;
  run on both my head and pristine base: identical 52/55 pass, 3 fail, same test names
  on both trees.

Neither is touched by this diff.

The npm run test fix is solid and well-measured (the m1max timing comparison is convincing)
— delegating to test:unit also prevents the two from drifting apart again. One thing I
couldn't verify: the diff at your PR head only touches package.json, no changes to
ENVIRONMENT.md/.env.example — was the RAYCAST doc-sync half already fixed elsewhere? Just
flagging so we don't lose track of it if it's still open.

[patrykkopycinski]

Investigated — the RAYCAST doc-sync half is already fixed elsewhere, no further diff needed in this PR.

Evidence, checked against origin/release/v3.8.51 tip c3945a724:

• docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md (the file moved from root ENVIRONMENT.md, which no longer exists at tip) — grep -in raycast → no matches.
• .env.example — grep -in raycast → no matches (confirmed the file has no RAYCAST_* rows, commented or otherwise; lines around the old 1263-1266 range are now unrelated VISION_BRIDGE_* docs).

Landing commit: 0ad03316e834717c043177e0399137ecfceded31 — chore(providers): retire GPL-derived Raycast and Hailuo integrations (#11691), merged 2026-08-28T08:16:59Z. That PR's diff includes:

.env.example                    | 11 -
docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md   |  4 -
open-sse/services/raycast.ts    | 280 -----
scripts/raycast/usage-benchmark.mjs | 165 -----

i.e. it dropped both the RAYCAST_* env rows and their docs together with the GPL-derived provider code (open-sse/services/raycast.ts, scripts/raycast/usage-benchmark.mjs) this PR's description cited as the reason the doc block was dead.

git merge-base --is-ancestor 0ad03316e origin/release/v3.8.51 → confirms it's an ancestor of the current tip.

So this PR's diff correctly stays package.json-only — the npm run test fix — and no ENVIRONMENT.md/.env.example changes are needed here.

[diegosouzapw]

Holding this one rather than merging, for two reasons:

1. The stated defect is gone on the current tip. npm run test and npm run test:unit are already byte-identical in content on release/v3.8.51 — both carry --test-force-exit on each node invocation and the test:unit:serial tail. The RAYCAST half of the body is also already done: .env.example and docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md have no RAYCAST references left, and check:env-doc-sync is green on that. So the diff no longer matches the problem it describes.

2. The diff carries an undeclared change: --test-concurrency goes from 4 to 20 in both node invocations of test:unit, which the commit message and PR body never mention, and which diverges test:unit from test:unit:ci/test:unit:ci:shard (still 4). On this box that is not free — the unit suite already contends with parallel builds, and a 5× concurrency bump is exactly the kind of change that turns timing-sensitive tests into flakes and pushes memory over the edge.

If you still want the concurrency change, open it on its own with a before/after measurement (wall time and peak RSS at a comparable load) and it gets judged on its own merits. Nothing here is wasted — the force-exit work you did is what is already in the tree.

Both red gates reproduce on pristine release/v3.8.51 with an empty diff, so neither is caused by this PR. One of them is fixed here.

1. Fast Quality Gates → check:mutation-test-coverage --strict — base debt, fixed in this PR (25c999d83).

Reproduced on pristine base f1e7148c1 (no diff applied):

$ git checkout --detach f1e7148c1
$ node scripts/check/check-mutation-test-coverage.mjs --strict
Scanned 5235 unit test file(s) against 31 mutated module(s).
  open-sse/services/combo/comboPredicates.ts

  open-sse/handlers/chatCore/responseHeaders.ts
    + tests/unit/13601-header-drop-count-surfaced.test.ts
  open-sse/handlers/chatCore/semanticCache.ts
    + tests/unit/semantic-cache-no-truncated-writes.test.ts
✗ 3 covering unit test(s) across 3 module(s) are missing from stryker.conf.json tap.testFiles.

Registering those 3 files in tap.testFiles (3-line diff, insertion only — existing order preserved) turns it green:

✓ No drift — every covering unit test is listed in tap.testFiles.

2. Unit Tests fast-path (1-4/4) — base-side hang, not attributable to this diff.

Those shards run test:unit:ci:shard. This PR's diff does not touch that script — it only changes test and test:unit (verified: git diff origin/release/v3.8.51...HEAD -- package.json | grep -E '^\s*[+-].*test:unit:ci:shard' returns nothing).

The shard failures are the symptom this PR exists to fix. On pristine base f1e7148c1, with no diff applied:

$ node --import tsx/esm ... --test --test-force-exit --test-concurrency=4 \
    tests/unit/source-no-raw-nul-bytes.test.ts tests/unit/gen-budget-card-svg.test.ts
TAP version 13
# Subtest: the budget card prints the catalog's own totals (no regex-parsed subset)
<hangs — killed at 400s, never emits a plan or a result>

gen-budget-card-svg.test.ts never terminates, so the runner is killed and every test in flight in that shard is reported failed. That explains why the ~20 "failures" are an unrelated grab-bag (runAuthzPipeline, NUL-byte scanner, reasoning-effort clamps, getProviderCredentials, budget card, …) rather than a coherent set.

Corroborating evidence that these are load/termination artifacts and not regressions: running the full unit suite (4587 files, ~34.6k tests) locally on pristine base vs. three separate PR branches, the same tests flip pass↔fail in both directions across runs of an identical, zero-diff commit:

tree	pass/fail	failures unique vs. base
pristine base	34581 / 23	—
#12723	34612 / 22	0
#13355	34588 / 22	0

Reproducing the numbers

git checkout --detach f1e7148c1
node scripts/check/check-mutation-test-coverage.mjs --strict   # gate 1, fails on base

export DISABLE_SQLITE_AUTO_BACKUP=true
node --max-old-space-size=8192 --import tsx/esm \
  --import ./open-sse/utils/setupPolyfill.ts \
  --import ./tests/_setup/isolateDataDir.ts \
  --test --test-force-exit --test-concurrency=4 \
  tests/unit/gen-budget-card-svg.test.ts                        # gate 2, hangs on base

Note: 6 test files (vnc-cdp-bridge-auth, cdp-proxy-auth-gate-13679, adobe-firefly-browser-login, vnc-session, vnc-session-docker-args, wreq-native-manifest) were excluded from the local full-suite runs above — they bind CDP port :9222, which a local Chrome holds. They are unrelated to all diffs discussed here.

Scope reduction after rebase onto release/v3.8.51 (f1e7148c1)

Both defects this PR originally fixed are already fixed on base — the PR body is now stale. Verified, not assumed:

1. npm run test termination — already fixed by #13187 (178d25250).

base package.json scripts.test already carries --test-force-exit on both node invocations and already ends with && npm run test:unit:serial:

cross-env ... --test-force-exit --test-concurrency=4 tests/unit/*.test.ts "..." "..." \
  && cross-env ... --test --test-force-exit --test-concurrency=4 "tests/unit/dashboard/**/*.test.ts" \
  && npm run test:unit:serial

So the delegation fix was redundant. It was also actively harmful:

• It silently reversed fix(test): cap local unit-test concurrency at 4 to avoid exhausting commit charge #13187's deliberate --test-concurrency=4 cap → 20.
• It broke tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts, which asserts every parallel runner script ends with the serial step.

Measured, same tree and suite, on this machine:

test:unit concurrency	cancelled	"event loop has already resolved" bailouts
20 (this PR as pushed)	356	356
4 (base / #13187)	0	0

At 20, npm run test "terminates" by cancelling 356 tests — a false green, not a fix. Guard test on corresponding trees: base 4/4 pass, this branch pre-revert 3/4 (not ok 2 - todos os runners paralelos terminam com o passo serial).

2. RAYCAST env-doc sync — moot: ENVIRONMENT.md no longer exists on base.

git show origin/release/v3.8.51:ENVIRONMENT.md → path 'ENVIRONMENT.md' does not exist. Removed upstream while this PR was open, so the envMissingDoc it repaired cannot recur. check-env-doc-sync.mjs reports "✓ Env / docs contract is in sync" on pristine base — no repair needed.

---

Current diff: stryker.conf.json only (+3), which is still genuinely required.

Fast Quality Gates failed on 3 tests missing from tap.testFiles, reproducible on pristine base and absent from this diff's original scope:

 3 covering unit test(s) across 3 module(s) are missing from stryker.conf.json tap.testFiles.
  open-sse/services/combo/comboPredicates.ts          + tests/unit/combo-identical-error-streak.test.ts
  open-sse/handlers/chatCore/responseHeaders.ts        + tests/unit/13601-header-drop-count-surfaced.test.ts
  open-sse/handlers/chatCore/semanticCache.ts          + tests/unit/semantic-cache-no-truncated-writes.test.ts

Registered all three; gate now ✓ No drift — every covering unit test is listed in tap.testFiles. Registered tests verified green individually (8 + 3 + 3 = 14 pass, 0 fail). Mutation-tested: reverting the 3 entries returns the gate to RED, restoring returns it GREEN.

package.json is now byte-identical to base. Ready for re-review; happy to have this closed instead if the maintainer prefers to track the stryker drift separately — the chunk belongs wherever it's easiest to land.

Fast Quality Gates is green — the stryker fix landed

Run 35161135356:

Gate	Result
Fast Quality Gates	pass (was fail on the 3 missing tap.testFiles entries)
Merge integrity, Docs Gates, No new ESLint warnings, Vitest, semgrep ×2, Change Classification	pass
Unit Tests fast-path 4/4	pass
Unit Tests fast-path 1,2,3/4	fail — base debt, see below
API Route Typecheck	fail — base debt, see below

Also confirmed resolved: todos os runners paralelos terminam com o passo serial (tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts) is gone from the failure list now that package.json is back to base.

Remaining red gates are base debt — reproduced on pristine base with zero diff

Ran the exact 4 test files the failing assertions live in, on my head (7bda01936) and on pristine release/v3.8.51 (f1e7148c1) — identical 52/55 pass, 3 fail, same test names on both trees:

ℹ tests 55 / pass 52 / fail 3      <- head
ℹ tests 55 / pass 52 / fail 3      <- base, zero diff
  ✖ runAuthzPipeline allows dashboard sessions to reach DB health management API
  ✖ #2331 codex.ts still prioritizes modelEffort first in rawEffort chain
  ✖ direct translation calls have English messages

The fourth, OAuthModal renders the structured panel, passes in isolation on both trees — it only fails under CI shard CPU contention, same class as the rest of the shard noise.

API Route Typecheck is likewise base debt: src/lib/providerModels/modelDiscovery.ts:355 passes an untyped record.metadataProvenance into SyncedAvailableModel, whose metadataProvenance requires vertexDocs (made required by #12471). node scripts/check/check-api-typecheck.mjs fails identically on pristine f1e7148c1:

✗ src/lib/providerModels/modelDiscovery.ts TS2345 (baseline 0, live 1)

Neither is in this diff (package.json is byte-identical to base; stryker.conf.json +3 is the only change). Suggest those two be tracked at the base rather than fold unrelated fixes into this PR.
