feat(runner)!: declare scenarios a CSMS is expected to fail - #32
Conversation
A driver may now list scenarios it knows its CSMS fails, with the mechanism and where the finding is written down. The scope row stays DRIVABLE, the scenario still runs and still prints FAIL; what changes is the exit code. The vocabulary this replaces was `continue-on-error` on a whole CI job, which is job-granular where the intent is scenario-granular: a broken compose file, a failed provisioning step and a regression from one failure to twenty were all as green as the finding the job was muted for, so the job could not report the one thing it existed to report -- every other scenario. The list has to be able to shrink, or it is a quieter mute. So a declared scenario that PASSES fails the sweep, as UNEXPECTED PASS: that is how an entry gets deleted the day upstream fixes the defect, instead of outliving it. There is deliberately no "expected flaky" status -- a scenario that sometimes passes has a timing bug, and admitting the status would re-create the job-level mute one scenario at a time. Both directions read one predicate, effectivelyFailed(), extracted from the existing --retry-failed-isolated rule rather than restated: written twice they would drift, and the drift would be silent exactly where it hurts. check-driver rejects, offline, an entry that is stale, that contradicts a NOT_APPLICABLE scope row, or that carries an empty reason or finding. What it cannot check is whether the scenario still fails -- only a sweep answers that. `ocpp-tck run` honours the same list, so running one scenario by hand means what running it in the sweep means; without it `bun run e2e:smoke`, which names scenarios explicitly, would contradict `bun run e2e` on the same commit. The field is optional: a driver that declares nothing keeps the original rule, and driver-env-scope.ts asserts that resolving an absent list still yields undefined.
cert16-tc023-3-authorize-blocked fails deterministically against the pinned image -- CitrineOS answers Invalid where OCPP 1.6 requires Blocked, 3 runs out of 3 -- and tck/scope.ts forbids making it green by demoting the row. Until now the only alternative was muting the whole CI job. The mechanism sentence moves to expected.ts and scope.ts imports it, the way variant.ts already owns NO_RESERVATIONS for both scope.ts and requests.ts. The two halves a reader compares -- "this row is drivable" and "this row is expected to fail, and here is why" -- must not be free to disagree. The v1.9.1 list is deliberately EMPTY, and the emptiness is a claim about evidence rather than about CitrineOS. v1 fails 16 of 47, nearly all through upstream citrineos/citrineos#160, but that measurement is a 2026-08-11 snapshot and no CI job runs the line -- so nothing would ever report one of those entries as an UNEXPECTED PASS and delete it. A list no run can shrink is the rot this mechanism exists to replace. On v1 every failure stays a failure.
The one red scenario is now declared in drivers/citrineos/expected.ts, so the sweep exits 0 for it and non-zero for anything else. continue-on-error was protecting one finding at the cost of every other signal the job produces: a broken compose.yaml, a failed provision, a verify mismatch and a jump from one failure to twenty were all equally green. The comment that said "turn it blocking once both rows are green" was an aspiration with no mechanism; it now describes one. Closes #10
e2e-steve and e2e-citrineos differed by a driver id, a compose path, an artifact name and one URL. They are now one `e2e` job over `matrix.driver: [steve, citrineos]`. Only possible now that both are blocking: a matrix carries one continue-on-error for the whole strategy, so the previous arrangement -- one lane muted for a known finding, one not -- could not have been expressed here. fail-fast is off, explicitly. The default cancels the sibling on the first failure, and these two lanes exist precisely because each answers a question the other cannot; a cancelled lane is a missing answer, not a saved minute. Both CSMS URLs are set for both lanes rather than threaded through matrix.include. Each driver reads only its own, so the unused one is inert, and listing them beats hiding which settings exist. The reasoning the two jobs carried -- why SteVe, why CitrineOS, why the whole sweep on every event, why --retry-failed-isolated, why `bun run e2e` rather than `run-all` -- is merged above the matrix rather than dropped. A matrix that costs the record of why two CSMS are driven at all would be a bad trade. NOTE FOR THE REPOSITORY SETTINGS: the required-check names change from `e2e-steve` / `e2e-citrineos` to `e2e (steve)` / `e2e (citrineos)`.
Review of the previous commits. The UNEXPECTED PASS message implies deleting a recorded finding, so what it says has to be right; three cases were wrong or inconsistent. PARTIAL was reported as "the finding looks fixed". It is the opposite: PARTIAL means a check degraded to SKIPPED because the driver could not evaluate it, so if the degraded check is the one that caught the finding, there is no evidence either way. Still red -- an unmeasurable declared row deserves attention -- but the message now says the evidence is missing rather than that the CSMS was fixed. NOT APPLICABLE was diagnosed twice, differently. The sweep called it a contradiction between the scope table and the list; the single-scenario path told the reader to delete the entry, which may well be the wrong half. unexpectedPassDetail() now takes the fields instead of a ScenarioOutcome, so both paths reach the same wording. The comment claiming NOT APPLICABLE was unreachable in standingOf() was false, and contradicted the branch immediately below it: check-driver only rejects the contradiction for a driver that has been checked, and the runtime UnsupportedOperationError escape produces it after any offline check could see it. Also: `check-driver --json` emits the entries rather than their ids. That output is what a conformance report reads, and "which scenarios are excused, on what recorded evidence" is a question it should not have to open the driver's source to answer. And a note recording that a THROW out of a single `ocpp-tck run` stays fatal however the scenario is declared, where the sweep would catch it as ERROR and excuse it -- deliberate, not an oversight: that path is the debugging mode.
Cleanup pass over the expected-failure commits. No behaviour change: the sweep, the summary and the single-scenario path produce the same output and the same exit codes as before, checked on all four paths. standingOf() took a ScenarioOutcome, which the single-scenario path does not have, so that path re-implemented the rule in nested ifs. It now takes the fields, with standingOfOutcome() as the sweep's one-line wrapper and exitForSingleRun() switching on the result. This is the same reshape unexpectedPassDetail() already got, and for the same reason: the two paths had disagreed once about NOT APPLICABLE, and agreeing today is weaker than being unable to disagree. The "EXPECTED FAIL: reason (finding)" sentence was rebuilt at three call sites and a fourth copy had drifted to a different separator. declarationNote() owns it, which also lets the callers narrow `expected` -- they were reaching through `?.` and would have rendered the literal "undefined" into a report if the invariant ever broke. flakeCount still spelled out the predicate by hand, directly under a comment claiming everything below read it through effectivelyFailed(). It does now. runOneForSweep()'s four returns repeated the same fields; the shared half is hoisted, which makes "the declaration is carried on every branch" structural rather than four sites each remembering. Also corrected isFailure()'s docstring, which still claimed those two verdicts decide the exit code. REJECTED, and recorded on EnvDependent so it is not proposed again: folding driverScope/driverCapabilities/driverExpectedFailures onto one generic resolver. Over an unconstrained T the union becomes `((env) => T) | (T & Function)`, `typeof` stops narrowing it and the helper needs a cast -- losing the cast-free narrowing this type is documented to provide, for a rule whose whole failure mode is a declaration being read as its own resolver.
A declared scenario that ERRORed was excused exactly like one that FAILed, so a container that refused to boot, a bounded wait giving up or a driver throwing all passed as the documented finding. That is the continue-on-error blindness this mechanism replaced, narrowed to one scenario but just as blind to the KIND of failure -- and it defeats the point, because the one row CitrineOS's lane is allowed to be red on is now the one row that could hide anything. An entry says what a CSMS ANSWERS: its reason cites a handler, a status mapping, a field that comes back wrong. An ERROR is the scenario never getting an answer to be wrong about. So `expected-fail` now needs the decisive verdict to be exactly FAIL; a declared scenario that errors is an ordinary unexpected failure, reported on its own line because the reaction is the opposite one -- the entry is almost certainly still good and the crash is the new thing. Decisive means the isolated retry when there is one, which is the existing doctrine rather than a new rule: parallel lanes are not isolated and the retry exists to re-run without contention. So ERROR-then-FAIL-isolated is the declared failure (the ERROR was the lane), and FAIL-then-ERROR-isolated is not. THE RULE MOVES TO tck/standing.ts, and that is what makes the change defensible. Inside the runner it was reachable only by starting a container and driving a live CSMS, so the rows that decide whether a red build is honest were untestable in practice. As a pure function over verdict x retry x declaration it is a table, and tests/expected-failure-standing.ts asserts all 16 rows offline -- wired into `bun run verify`, `bun run test` and CI. Each of the four ways to break the rule was mutation-tested to fail on its own row and no other. BREAKING CHANGE: a driver declaring `expectedFailures` no longer has an ERROR excused on those scenarios. Nothing changes for a driver that declares none, and nothing changes for a declared scenario that fails the way it says it does.
`cp -r /src/. /work/` followed immediately by `rm -rf node_modules` carried ~640 files across the read-only bind mount for the sole purpose of deleting them, and on that mount the copy failed intermittently: busybox cp reporting "can't create link" for paths whose parent directory it had not created yet, roughly one run in three on macOS. A guard that goes red for a reason unrelated to the property it protects teaches people to re-run it, which is how it stops being read at all. Measured on origin/main before touching anything, so this predates any caller: clean checkout 6/6 green, the same checkout after `bun install` 5/6. After the change, 12/12 green here, and 12 runs take 13s where each one used to copy 638 files it did not want. find rather than a glob, because dotfiles must come across -- tsconfig.json sits beside .gitignore and a missing one changes what the extractors see -- and `/src/.[!.]*` matching nothing would expand to itself under `set -e`. Mutation-tested both directions: a hand-edited ASSERT-INVENTORY.txt line and a removed spec file each still fail, with their own diagnosis. Unrelated to the expected-failure work on this branch; it surfaced while running the gate for it.
…ding Review of the last three commits. Both findings are the same defect in two places: a declaration read through `?.` under a standing the compiler cannot tie back to it. Nothing renders "undefined" today; what is missing is anything stopping it. exitForSingleRun() reintroduced it. The nested ifs it replaced narrowed `expected` naturally, and switching on a SweepStanding -- a string -- does not, so the four field reads became optional chains. That is precisely the hazard declarationNote() was extracted to remove on the sweep side one commit earlier: a report that says a finding was excused while naming nothing is worse than no report, because it reads as reviewed. Undeclared now returns first, which narrows the rest. writeSummary()'s EXPECTED FAIL note had the same shape. withStanding() filters by standing AND narrows through a type predicate, so the three call sites that render `reason`/`finding` are checked rather than trusted; it also replaces three hand-written filters, one of which spelled the declared-but-errored predicate differently from its twin in runGroupSweep(). The single-scenario path also grows an explicit unexpected-fail branch. It is unreachable today -- a throw never reaches that function -- but folding it into a silent `return 1` would mean that the day the path learns to catch a throw, it exits 1 saying nothing about the declaration it was carrying. declaredButErroredDetail() was the one export of tck/standing.ts the guard did not assert. Its message points the reader AWAY from the entry, so inverting it would send them to delete a finding that still holds -- the same damage as a wrong UNEXPECTED PASS, from the other direction. Two assertions added, both mutation-tested to fail on their own wording.
Cleanup pass. No behaviour change: the same verdicts produce the same exit codes and the same reports, checked on the sweep and single-run paths. README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md both name DECLARED, BUT ERRORED, the sweep reports it on its own line, and it called for the opposite reaction to an ordinary failure -- keep the entry, chase the crash. But SweepStanding had four members, so it existed only as "unexpected-fail AND a declaration is present", a conjunct hiding inside a filter. Two call sites ten lines apart asked the same-looking question and got different sets, and withStanding()'s own doc claimed something false: "every standing except ok implies a declaration" -- unexpected-fail does not, which is exactly why badOutcomes could not use the helper. It is now a member. DeclaredStanding is the sub-union that does imply a declaration, so withStanding() takes only those and the promise is checked at each call site rather than asserted in prose. endsTheBuild() owns the exit disjunction so a sixth standing cannot be added and left out of it. Both exhaustive switches now name the case instead of commenting it -- and the compiler found them the moment the member landed, which is the argument for the member. partitionByStanding() computes every bucket once. writeSummary() and runGroupSweep() each rebuilt the same three-line block, and the flake predicate was still spelled by hand in two more places, under a comment claiming it had been unified. effectivelyFailed() now reads through decisiveVerdict(), which gives that function a second caller and makes the doc table's two columns visibly the same quantity. THE GUARD'S PROSE ASSERTIONS ARE REPLACED, because they were shown not to work. Grepping the messages for "looks fixed" is brittle to a harmless reword AND blind to the harmful one: rewording the PARTIAL branch to "the finding looks resolved" -- the maintainer-misleading defect they existed to catch -- left them green. unexpectedPassKind() exposes the distinction the rule already computes, so the guard pins a value table instead of a token, and keeps one prose property that names no phrase: the kinds must stay tellable apart. Mutation-tested, including that planted reword, which now fails. Also excludes .git from the spec-invariant container copy. Neither extractor reads it, and at ~1600 files in a normal clone it is several times the cost of everything the copy legitimately carries -- each one another draw in the busybox-cp lottery the node_modules exclusion was fixing. 6/6 green after.

Review follow-ups, all documentation or comment placement. No behaviour change: the tck/main.ts diff is comments only. README.md said "FAIL and ERROR exit non-zero -- unless your driver said so first", which stopped being true when a declaration lost the power to excuse an ERROR. It now says which of the two a declaration excuses, matching the Expected failures section thirty lines below that already got it right. drivers/citrineos/README.md carried the Blocked finding as two gap-table rows, the second deferring to the first for the mechanism and adding the observed result. One row now, mechanism and evidence together. The duplication predates this branch, but both rows were edited here. The comment about reporting declared-but-errored on its own line had been left above `const flakeCount`, which it does not describe -- it drifted there when the buckets moved into partitionByStanding(). Moved to the block it explains, and its "a subset of badOutcomes" opening corrected: since DECLARED, BUT ERRORED became a standing of its own, it is disjoint from unexpected-fail rather than contained in it. Also fixes a sentence in the CitrineOS scope row that read "sends the Authorize the scenario asks for".
Fixes #10
The problem
e2e-citrineoscarriedcontinue-on-error: truefor one scenario:cert16-tc023-3-authorize-blockedfails deterministically against the pinnedimage, and
tck/scope.tsforbids making it green by demoting its scope row —that would convert a finding about the CSMS into a silence about the harness.
But
continue-on-erroris job-granular where the intent isscenario-granular. A broken
compose.yaml, a faileddriver provision, averifymismatch and a regression from 1 failure to 20 were all equally green,so the job could not report the one thing it exists to report: the other 46.
"Turn it blocking once both rows are green" was an aspiration with no mechanism.
The mechanism
A driver may declare
expectedFailures— a third module-level declarationbeside

deliberately no "expected flaky" — a scenario that sometimes passes has a
timing bug, and the bug is the thing to fix.
replies; an
ERRORis the scenario never getting a reply. Excusing it wouldlet a container that refuses to boot pass as the documented finding — the same
blindness, narrowed to one scenario.
"Decisive" means the isolated retry's verdict when there is one, which is the
existing doctrine rather than a new rule: parallel lanes are not isolated, and
the retry exists to re-run without contention.
Reviewing this
tck/expected.ts— the declaration type and its offline drift checks.tck/standing.ts— the exit-code rule, as a pure total function. It has itsown module so a guard can assert the whole table without a container.
tests/expected-failure-standing.ts— that table: 16 verdict/retry/declarationrows, the
endsTheBuildclassification, and theunexpectedPassKindvalues.drivers/citrineos/expected.ts— the one declared entry. The v1.9.1 list isdeliberately empty; the file says why.
