Declining most of this, with one taken.
Module header (L1-5) — every one of the ten generators in this package opens with exactly this one-line X silver-table generator: … docstring (ai.py, collab.py, crm.py, git.py, hr.py, people.py, support.py, task.py, base.py, __init__.py). Removing it from wiki.py alone would make it the only file in the directory without one, which costs consistency and buys nothing.
L71-74 — that is a function docstring, not a comment, and it states the constraint that decides the design: gold joins engagement to pages INNER on (tenant_id, source_id, page_id) and credits the page's author, which is why pages are planned before any row is written. AGENTS.md keeps exactly this kind of rationale — “non-obvious semantics belong in types, tests, or docs”. It is now also asserted in tests/test_wiki_relationships.py, so the rule is enforced as well as described.
L32-33, L195-196, and the two in git.py — each is a two-line comment carrying a constraint the code cannot state: a naming/prefix relationship, and two invariants about counts that a later edit could silently break. AGENTS.md's limit is “normally one or two lines”, which these meet.
L41-42 — taken. # How long after a page is published it still attracts comments. restated COMMENT_WINDOW_DAYS; removed.
The nitpick about relationship tests is done in the same commit: pages_created per author-day equals the planned page count, and every engagement row names a planned page_id inside the seeded window. Both were checked against a mutated generator first — capping created at 1 and letting comments run past the window's last day fails them — so they can actually fail.

@ktursunov, I confirmed the removal of the redundant COMMENT_WINDOW_DAYS comment.
I also confirmed the relationship tests. They enforce both stated invariants. The retained two-line comments and the _plan_pages docstring describe constraints that the code does not express directly. I withdraw those parts of the finding.
The module header remains the only open part. wiki.py adds a module header that restates the module’s purpose. The applicable guidance prohibits that type of module docstring. Similar existing headers in sibling modules do not make this new header necessary.

The post-publish deploy proved the chart installs and that one persona can sign in and read one metric. Everything else the deployed stand can be wrong about — an API contract, a browser journey — went unchecked until someone ran the suite by hand. Stage 5 runs `pytest tests/stand` in full against the stand the same job just deployed and seeded. It stays in that job because the seed manifest names personas and in-cluster addresses and so must never become an artifact on a public repo, and because the deploy concurrency group is what keeps the next merge off the stand mid-suite. Playwright traces go through the redaction script before upload, as on the compose lane. `stages` gains `deploy+seed+smoke` for the old behaviour; `all` now means through the suite. Two things had to be true first: - The seeder prints the manifest sentinel as its last line, and `kubectl logs -f` can end without a container's final output; the line was then lost and the run failed after a successful seed. It is re-read from the finished Job instead, and filtered out of the stream so the log carries it once. - `service_principals` was hardcoded true in the manifest, so the S2S tests would have failed against a token listener that has no ingress rather than skipping on the capability. It comes from the environment now, and the cluster Job sets it false. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Tursunov <Konstantin.Tursunov@constructor.tech>
The compose stand seeded 60 days and the deployed stand 365, so a developer and CI were looking at differently shaped data, and neither reached far enough back to show a year-over-year view. Both seed 730 days now. That is wider than any single request the analytics API will answer — it refuses a period of 400 days or more — which is exactly the trap INFRA.md already names. The mitigation was built with the helper: `query_window` returns the queryable tail of the seeded range. Four call sites still read `data_window` raw, against the note in the package's own docstring, and each would have started answering 400 the moment the window grew; they go through the helper now. Clamping also keeps the paged drilldown walks bounded: they page a fixed 399 days whatever the seed window becomes, rather than growing with it. A reconciliation must pass the SAME clamped period to both sides — the walk and the scalar it is checked against — or it compares two different periods. Both pairs do. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Tursunov <Konstantin.Tursunov@constructor.tech>
The titles the export test needs went to the dev lead's EARLIEST commits, so widening the seed window pushed them out of the period the suite can ask about — the API answers no period of 400 days or more, so a request for "the seeded range" is clamped to its tail, and the compose lane failed on a stand that did contain every title. They go to the most recent commits instead, which the tail always covers. The dealing moved after the row loop rather than into it: the message column is found by name, so the row tuple's shape stays the one thing the link parity tests read positionally. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Tursunov <Konstantin.Tursunov@constructor.tech>
… data The stand seeder had a generator per activity domain except wiki, so silver.class_wiki_* stayed empty, wiki_metric_evidence built over nothing, and all four registered wiki.* metrics answered 200 with no rows. Adds generators/wiki.py writing class_wiki_pages, class_wiki_activity and class_wiki_engagement for everyone with a team, scaled by the new per-team `outline` weight, the persona multiplier and the weekday multiplier. Pages are planned before any row is emitted because the evidence model joins engagement onto (tenant_id, source_id, page_id) INNER and credits the page's author with the comments, so comments and the activity row's pages_created derive from that one list. Registers the three relations in RESET_TARGETS, adds the generator to the silver run, and gates the test stand on wiki_metric_observations. The stand suite asserted the empty state: the person and team views now assert the Wiki domain card is populated and that every member has a "Page edits" cell, and the drilldown's no-evidence case moves to collab.files_engaged, whose silver source (class_collab_document_activity) still has no generator. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Tursunov <Konstantin.Tursunov@constructor.tech>
The post-publish deploy runs the same suite, but only after a merge and only against a chart that did not exist until the merge happened. That is the wrong loop for changing the suite itself: a test that passes against compose can still be wrong about a real IdP, real TLS or a real cluster's identity projection, and finding out after merging is finding out too late. The last branch to need this grew a temporary workflow and deleted it before merge. This deploys nothing and publishes nothing. It runs the dispatched ref's tests/stand against whatever chart the stand already carries — the one thing the compose lane cannot tell you — and says so in its summary, so nobody reads a green run as a statement about the branch's product code. It joins the deploy's concurrency group so a deploy cannot swap the images mid-suite. Safe to share only because nothing here calls that workflow. The manifest comes from the newest surviving seed Job's log rather than a re-seed: Jobs are reaped an hour after they finish and the data is not, so a stand seeded longer ago than that is still good and only its manifest is gone. Re-seeding is an explicit input, because it replaces the data for everyone else using the stand. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Tursunov <Konstantin.Tursunov@constructor.tech>
… exist Two claims a reader would have acted on. The deploy's non-main dispatch warning said the run was "allowed because the environment's deployment-branch policy already decided this ref may deploy". Nothing decided anything — an environment with no policy allows every ref, so the sentence describes a check that did not run. The warning keeps the half that is true: what lands is that branch's deploy, not main's. The stand README and the credentials runbook both say the realm generator embeds the persona password and that a seeder change is the follow-up which would fix it. It takes `INSIGHT_SEED_PERSONA_PASSWORD` and refuses anything under 16 characters, so the runbook was steering an operator away from a rotation that exists. Both now describe the input, the fallback for local stands, and the one consequence that matters: the secret must MATCH what the realm carries, so the two move together. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Tursunov <Konstantin.Tursunov@constructor.tech>
… branch aged A review of the stand documentation against the code it describes. Two real defects in the dispatch workflow added earlier on this branch, which has never run and so could not have shown them: - Its job ceiling was 90 minutes against 180 of step ceilings, so a re-seeding run would have been killed before its own seed limit could fire — the way a Job gets left behind in the cluster. - The re-seed path shells out to seed-stand.sh, which needs helm and envsubst. Neither was installed nor checked, so that path would have failed on `need helm` after taking the stand's concurrency slot. Helm is pinned as the deploy pins it, and the tool check runs first. The rest are claims the code contradicts: - The suite lane captured video and uploaded it beside the traces, and the README said every published artifact had been rewritten and verified. The redaction script opens `*.zip` and nothing else, so the video was the one artifact nothing could vouch for. It is no longer captured; the README now says which artifact is verified and what a screenshot actually carries. - The seed step said four Jobs' deadlines fire before its own. They sum to four hours against a 110-minute ceiling, so the opposite is true, and a timed-out seed can leave a Job running. Said plainly instead. - "every byte goes through $REDACT" described a job-wide property that is a handful of pipes; the hand-seed recipe still prescribed 365 days; the stage count, the caller named in a refusal, and a downstream-detector note all predate this branch's own changes. - INFRA.md's pending-upgrade row had the timeout rule backwards — below helm's own `--timeout`, which is what SIGKILLs helm and wedges the release. - PROFILE.md is generated and carries a hash over the seeder's sources specifically so a stale copy is detectable. This branch changed six of them. - The UI skill still offered "assert the unseeded domain's empty state" as a pattern; there is no unseeded domain left to assert it against. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Tursunov <Konstantin.Tursunov@constructor.tech>
The analytics endpoints refuse a period wider than their cap, so a test that asks about the whole seeded window stops answering once that window is two years long. `query_window` returns the queryable tail instead. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Tursunov <Konstantin.Tursunov@constructor.tech>
They were marked non-strict xfail while an intermittent 500 was under investigation (#2361). Every recorded compose-stand run since the markers were added has xpassed all three, including runs where much else failed, so the marker now only hides whether they still hold. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Tursunov <Konstantin.Tursunov@constructor.tech>
`pages_created` and every comment row are derived from the planned page list, so a count drawn beside it would double a person's day or strand comments on a page gold's INNER join never sees. Both are asserted now, and a comment that only restated the constant above it is gone. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Tursunov <Konstantin.Tursunov@constructor.tech>

After a merge, the deploy proved the chart installs and that one persona can read one metric. Every API contract and every browser journey went unchecked until a human ran the suite by hand. This runs the whole suite there, against data thick enough for it to mean something.
Supersedes #2501 and #2502.
Why the old signal was thin
Two separate gaps, and fixing either alone leaves the other.
Nothing ran but the smoke check. A stand can install cleanly, serve one metric, and still be wrong about pagination, refusals, drilldown evidence, or every screen in the product. That was only ever caught by someone remembering to run the suite.
The data was too short and too narrow to exercise the product. Compose seeded 60 days and the deployed stand 365, so no run ever crossed the API's 400-day period ceiling, and nothing noticed that four
wiki.*metrics answered200with no rows on every stand —silver.class_wiki_*was empty because the seeder had a generator for every activity domain except wiki. The metrics were never missing. Only the rows were.What changed
A suite stage in the deploy.
stagesbecomesdeploy → seed → smoke → suite, runningpytest tests/standagainst the stand the same job just seeded. It stays inside that job rather than a dependent one for two reasons: the seed manifest names personas and in-cluster addresses and must never become an artifact on a public repo, and staying put keeps the run inside the deploy's concurrency group so the next merge cannot land mid-suite. Traces pass through the existing redaction script before upload.Two bugs had to be fixed before it could work at all:
kubectl logs -fcan return without a container's final line, and the seeder prints the manifest sentinel last. A post-publish deploy failed exactly that way with a fully successful seed. The sentinel is re-read from the finished Job now.service_principalswas hardcodedtrue, so eleven service-to-service tests would have failed against a token listener with no ingress instead of skipping. It comes from the environment; the cluster Job sets it false.Two years of data on both stands, which makes the 400-day ceiling reachable — so nothing may read
data_windowraw any more.query_windowreturns the queryable tail, and the call sites that ignored their own package docstring are converted. That trap bites twice in this branch:test_ai_cost.pylanded on main after the conversion, read the window raw, and a textually clean rebase reintroduced the bug class. Five more call sites moved.INFRA.mdalready warned about this; its row now states what the guard is.The longer window also broke the export-escaping test, which needs deliberately hostile commit titles: the seed dealt them to the dev lead's earliest commits, which a clamped window no longer reaches. They go to the most recent ones, and the dealing finds the message column by name so the row tuple's shape stays what the link-parity tests read positionally.
A wiki generator. Pages are planned before any row is written, because gold joins engagement to pages INNER on
(tenant_id, source_id, page_id)and credits the page's author with its comments — comments drawn independently would vanish in that join. Two tests hold exactly that:pages_createdper author-day equals the planned page count, and every engagement row names a planned page inside the window. Both were checked against a mutated generator before being trusted.A dispatch that runs a branch's suite on the stand. Deploys nothing, publishes nothing — runs the dispatched ref's
tests/standagainst whatever chart the stand already carries, which is the one thing the compose lane cannot tell you. It joins the deploy's concurrency group so a deploy cannot swap images mid-run, which is safe only because it never calls that workflow. It cannot be exercised until it merges: GitHub will not dispatch a workflow absent from the default branch.Result

Both stand lanes green on this branch: 343 passed, 1 skipped, 2 xfailed on the API side and 17 passed browser journeys, over a compose stand seeded 730 days with the wiki generator — which is what proves the wiki gold relations build non-empty and the domain card renders. Seeder unit tests 43 passed. Separately: 17/17 browser journeys by hand against the deployed stand at its https origin, and every column the wiki generator writes diffed against the DDL snapshot, none drifting.
Three drilldown tests marked non-strict xfail against #2361 now gate again. Every recorded compose-stand run since those markers went in has xpassed all three — including one where 9 tests failed and 61 errored, so the stand was under exactly the load the report described. The markers were hiding whether the tests still hold rather than recording a flake; #2361 is closed with that evidence.
Notes for review
The bigger seed costs wall-clock. The API suite runs about 4.5 minutes here against about 40 seconds on main — the same tests over 730 days instead of 60. The deploy job's ceiling accommodates it, but every post-merge deploy now carries it. That the suite exercises a dataset an order of magnitude larger is the point of the change and also its price.
The deployed-stand lanes cannot be green pre-merge for a seeder change. They seed from the published image while the tests come from the checkout, so those commits only take effect once this merges and the image publishes. The compose lane installs the seeder from the checkout and is the pre-merge signal.
One assertion was given up.
test_supported_metric_with_no_evidence_returns_an_empty_pageusedwiki.pages_createdprecisely because it had no evidence, and moves tocollab.files_engaged— checked against the deployed stand, not assumed. The "Page edits" cell was the only assertion that an unmeasured cell renders "not recorded" rather than0. That is recorded as a gap rather than papered over.
