I changed `test/app-home-batched.test.ts` so it counts SQL statements instead of timing the page. Load on the check machine can no longer fail it. Both tests in the file pass, and `tsc --noEmit` is clean. I haven't seen the forge's own check on the push yet.

I changed test/app-home-batched.test.ts so it counts SQL statements instead of timing the page. Load on the check machine can no longer fail it. Both tests in the file pass, and tsc --noEmit is clean. I haven't seen the forge's own check on the push yet.
Why it was red: the test asserted that the server-timing now phase took under 5 ms. expectBudget stretches that limit to at most 20 ms, and the limit scales with a /healthz baseline. On a busy check machine, scheduling noise alone could exceed 20 ms, so the verdict depended on load.
What changed:
- A new
queriesFor(path)helper wrapsapp.db.queryfor one signed-in GET and returns how many statements it prepared. - Both tests warm the page once, then assert the count is under 200. Today a page costs about 165 statements on
/alice/vaultand about 125 on/alice/vault-fork. A loop that ran one statement per issue would add roughly 200 more and fail. - I dropped the unused
budget.tsimport from this test.
What I left out:
- The test no longer measures speed. The
baselineMs/expectBudgethelpers are still used by other tests, and I didn't audit those for the same problem. - The 200 ceiling catches a per-row query loop, not a small regression such as a few extra statements.
To try it: bun test test/app-home-batched.test.ts
The flake is fixed, but the replacement is a weaker guard than the title promises. Two fixes, both in this one file.
- Tie the ceiling to the data.
BATCHED = 200is a constant next to a page that already costs ~165 statements, so it only fails if a per-issue loop adds all 200 more. A per-pull loop (+40) or a per-run loop passes unnoticed. Measure the same page with a small and a large seed, or seed the rows after a first measurement, and assert the two counts are equal or within a few statements. That fails for any per-row query and does not depend on today's baseline. - The fork test lost its check that the
followingphase exists (expect(best.following).toBeDefined()), and its limit of 200 sits ~75 above today's 125, so it guards nothing. Pin it the same way as above.
The try/finally restore of db.query is correct. The baselineMs/expectBudget import removal is fine.
test/app-home-batched.test.ts now compares statement counts at two data sizes, and it still passes. The change is pushed, and tsc --noEmit is clean. I haven't seen the forge's check on this push.
Both tests changed:
- Same page, two sizes: each page is measured with 10 issues, 2 pulls and 1 run per repo, then again after growing to 200/40/5. The count may differ by at most 3 statements, which allows for the small shift in the fork page's own statements. A per-pull loop adds about 38, so it fails.
- Fork test: it checks that
followingappears in theserver-timingheader again, and it uses the same two-size comparison, so the fixed limit of 200 is gone. - Check that it fails: I put a per-issue query inside the batch loop in
src/core/pulls.ts. Both tests failed with counts of 56 and 119 over. I reverted that change.
A per-row cost the page already has: the first comparison failed on the unmodified page, which was 53 statements heavier at the large size. The page really does issue statements per row, so the "batched" claim is only partly true. Three statement shapes grow with the rows:
- the repo-visibility check, about one per visible pull and run;
SELECT sealed, author_id FROM issue WHERE id = ?1, about one per run;- the issue-by-id read, about one per run on the fork page.
I listed these in PER_ROW_TODAY in the test and left them out of the count. Without that the test would be red today. Every other statement must not grow with the rows. Fixing those three is a change to the app code, so it belongs in its own issue, and I didn't change src/. Once they are batched, delete the list.
The fix is right. Counting the statements one GET prepares, at 10/2/1 rows and again at 200/40/5, can't be flaked by load the way a 5 ms timing could. It catches a per-row loop that the old fixed 200 ceiling would have missed. The following assertion is back, and db.query is restored in a finally. I ran the file at head 47a4fb36: 2 pass in 1.4 s. The preview answers / and /healthz with 200. No security surface changes: this is test-only, there are no new inputs, and no SQL is built from user text.
One change before this lands:
PER_ROW_TODAYleaves known work in the code with nothing tracking it. Three per-row probes are left out of the count: repo visibility, the sealed check, and the issue-by-id read. The comment says to delete the list once they are batched, but no issue exists for that. Those probes are why the page doesn't yet do what this test's title says it does. Until it is tracked, the exclusion is an untracked TODO, and it also hides any new loop that reuses one of those three SQL shapes. Open an issue such as "The repo home batches its visibility, sealed and issue-by-id probes for pulls and runs", saying the list in this test goes once it lands. Then cite its number in the comment abovePER_ROW_TODAY, e.g.(#NNNN removes this list).
Nothing else needs to change.
I opened #6819 to track the three per-row probes, and the comment above PER_ROW_TODAY now cites it: "(#6819 batches them and removes this list)". The two tests in test/app-home-batched.test.ts still pass, and the change is pushed. I haven't seen the forge's check on this push.
#6819 is "The repo home batches its visibility, sealed and issue-by-id probes for pulls and runs". It names the three statements and says the list goes once they are batched.
Your second point stands: while the list exists, a new loop that reuses one of those three SQL shapes would go uncounted. The exclusion matches whole statement shapes, so I couldn't close that hole without changing src/. #6819 is what removes it.
The flake fix is unchanged: the test counts the SQL statements one GET prepares, at 10/2/1 and at 200/40/5 rows. The count may differ by at most 3.
My earlier ask is met: #6819 exists, names the three per-row probes, and the comment above PER_ROW_TODAY cites it. The test counts statements at 10/2/1 and at 200/40/5 rows, so load cannot flake it, and db.query is restored in a finally. The change only touches a test, so I found nothing to flag for security, the terminal or the README.
Two things I would do next:
- Non-blocking: remove the stray double blank line after queriesFor, before beforeAll.
- Non-blocking: land #6819 and delete PER_ROW_TODAY. Until then a new loop that reuses one of those three SQL shapes goes uncounted.
