Code Review
This pull request introduces an impressive and comprehensive test suite for several critical scripts, significantly improving the project's test coverage and robustness. The new test scripts for the supervisor state machine, memory/mail helpers, and the smoke/help checks are well-structured, thorough, and use best practices like isolated test environments.
I've identified a couple of areas for improvement in tests/test-smoke-help.sh to enhance the reliability of the ShellCheck validation and to streamline the script processing logic. My detailed comments are provided on the relevant lines.
Overall, this is an excellent contribution that greatly enhances the quality assurance of the agent scripts.

This check for archived scripts becomes redundant if the input to the while loop is already filtered. It's a good practice to filter the list of scripts once before the loop begins for better maintainability and efficiency.

For consistency with the syntax-check loop and to make the check inside the loop redundant, you can filter out archived scripts at this stage. This improves efficiency by not iterating over scripts that will be skipped anyway.

The current method of counting ShellCheck issues using grep -c "error" is not fully reliable. It can produce false positives if the word "error" appears in the script's source code (e.g., in comments shown as context) and may not accurately count the number of distinct errors. A more robust approach is to rely on shellcheck's exit code, which is non-zero when issues are found. This aligns with the principle of capturing a command's exit code for reliable conditional logic.
| sc_output=$(shellcheck -S error "$script_path" 2>&1 || true) | |
| sc_errors=$(echo "$sc_output" | grep -c "error" || true) | |
| if [[ "$sc_errors" -eq 0 ]]; then | |
| pass "shellcheck: $name (0 errors)" | |
| else | |
| fail "shellcheck: $name ($sc_errors errors)" \ | |
| "$(echo "$sc_output" | head -5)" | |

| if sc_output=$(shellcheck -S error "$script_path" 2>&1); then | |
| pass "shellcheck: $name (0 errors)" | |
| else | |
| sc_errors=$(echo "$sc_output" | grep -cE '^(In|For) ' || true) | |
| fail "shellcheck: $name ($sc_errors errors)" \ | |

References
- In shell scripts, capture a command's exit code in a variable instead of using $? directly in conditionals. This aligns with ShellCheck SC2181 and improves clarity for multi-way branches.

3-3: Consider aligningsetflags with the newer test scripts.The new test files (
test-smoke-help.sh,test-memory-mail.sh,test-supervisor-state-machine.sh) all useset -euo pipefail, while this script usesset -uo pipefail(no-e). The omission of-eis defensible here since individual test commands are allowed to fail, but worth noting as a minor inconsistency across the test suite.tests/test-smoke-help.sh (3)
227-228: ShellCheck error counting is fragile —grep -c "error"matches the word anywhere in the output.The string
"error"can appear in ShellCheck's diagnostic messages even for non-error severity levels, inflating the count. A more reliable approach would be to use ShellCheck's exit code directly (non-zero means findings at the requested severity) or use a structured output format.♻️ Proposed alternative using exit code
- sc_output=$(shellcheck -S error "$script_path" 2>&1 || true) - sc_errors=$(echo "$sc_output" | grep -c "error" || true) - if [[ "$sc_errors" -eq 0 ]]; then + sc_exit=0 + sc_output=$(shellcheck -S error "$script_path" 2>&1) || sc_exit=$? + if [[ "$sc_exit" -eq 0 ]]; then pass "shellcheck: $name (0 errors)" else - fail "shellcheck: $name ($sc_errors errors)" \ + fail "shellcheck: $name (exit code $sc_exit)" \ "$(echo "$sc_output" | head -5)" fi
23-54: Consider extracting the shared test framework into a common sourced file.The
pass(),fail(),skip(), andsection()functions are duplicated acrosstest-smoke-help.sh,test-memory-mail.sh,test-supervisor-state-machine.sh, and (in a slightly different form)tests/docker/run-tests.sh. Extracting these into a sharedtests/test-framework.shthat each test script sources would reduce duplication and ensure consistent behavior (e.g., the--verbosegating in this file vs. always-print in the others).
64-75: Syntax check suppresses error details.
bash -n "$abs_path" 2>/dev/nullsilences the parse error output. When a script fails syntax validation, the developer gets no clue about what broke. Consider capturing stderr and including it in thefailmessage, at least in verbose mode.♻️ Proposed improvement
- if bash -n "$abs_path" 2>/dev/null; then + syntax_errors=$(bash -n "$abs_path" 2>&1) || true + if [[ -z "$syntax_errors" ]]; then pass "syntax: $name" syntax_pass=$((syntax_pass + 1)) else - fail "syntax: $name" "bash -n failed" + fail "syntax: $name" "$syntax_errors" syntax_fail=$((syntax_fail + 1)) fitests/test-memory-mail.sh (1)

72-79: Per coding guidelines, preferlocalfor parameter assignments in shell functions.
get_status()andget_field()use$1/$2directly in string interpolation. Usinglocalmakes intent clearer and avoids accidental reference to the wrong positional parameter in more complex functions. As per coding guidelines, use thelocal var="$1"pattern.♻️ Proposed refactor

skip() silently ignores its second argument — detail messages are lost.
skip() (lines 42–47) accepts only $1, but it's called with two arguments at lines 209 and 395 (e.g., skip "Namespace store failed" "$ns_output"). The detail message is silently discarded. Either extend skip() to print an optional second argument (like fail() does), or remove the extra args from the call sites.
🐛 Proposed fix — extend skip() to match fail()
skip() {
SKIP_COUNT=$((SKIP_COUNT + 1))
TOTAL_COUNT=$((TOTAL_COUNT + 1))
printf " \033[0;33mSKIP\033[0m %s\n" "$1"

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Bug: || true clobbers the exit code, making timeout detection dead code.
Line 180's || true causes $? on line 181 to always be 0, so the timeout check at line 188 ($help_exit -eq 124) can never trigger. Under set -e, you need a different pattern to capture the real exit code.

Pass message claims batch_tasks is verified, but the condition doesn't check for it.
Line 96 checks for "tasks", "batches", and "state_log" in the table list, but the pass message on line 97 also mentions "batch_tasks". Either add batch_tasks to the condition or remove it from the message to avoid a misleading test result.
