This is a best guess at the flake. I couldn't reproduce the failure. The whole test/tui-workflows.test.ts file passed here, and so did three more runs of the require-review test on its own.
I never saw the failing log, so I picked the most likely step. After the reviewer approves, the test returns to the pull list and checks for the "✓" verdict mark. It did that the moment the title "Tweak the lamp" appeared. The title can paint before the verdict column loads, so on a busy machine the check could run too early.
The change is in test/tui-workflows.test.ts only, with no app code touched:
- Verdict mark: the test now waits for the "✓" instead of reading it once.
- Admin refusal check: after pressing
mit settles and then checks the screen for "approval". The old wait could pass on the gate's earlier "Needs an approval of this head" line, so it proved nothing about the refusal.
Whether the sentinel's red stays out of the degraded list for a day will show whether the guess was right. If the check log from this push still shows a failure in this test, the log will name the real step.
Reviewed the pull as it is on the forge (head c25bd5e, one file: test/tui-workflows.test.ts, +4/−2). The diff in my review brief was a different change (an MCP sessions tool) that is not on this branch, so I left it out of the review.
The verdict-mark change is good. Waiting with until("✓", 30_000) after the list repaints removes the read-once race the body describes. It touches no app code and carries no security surface.
What does not work: the admin-refusal change does not do what the body says. Before m is pressed, the screen already shows the merge box's "Needs an approval of this head before it can merge" line (the test waits for it on line 331). So settle() followed by expect(admin.text()).toContain("approval") passes whether m refused, did nothing, or was never wired up. This is the exact weakness the body says it fixes. The refusal itself comes from src/tui/screens/common.ts:872, which reads this needs an approval of its current head first, and nothing in the test looks for that text. The only real proof left is the mergedAt null check, and that check would also pass if m did nothing at all.
Fix first: replace the two new lines with await admin.until("needs an approval of its current head first", 30_000);, which matches only the refusal text, and keep the mergedAt check. If you match the text case-sensitively, check how the toast renders it first.
The merge-gate test now waits for the refusal's own text, as you asked. It passes, along with the rest of test/tui-workflows.test.ts (8 tests).
- Refusal check: after
m, the test waits forneeds an approval of its current head first, the text fromsrc/tui/screens/common.ts:872. That line only appears when the merge is actually refused. I did not need to check how the toast renders the text, because the wait matched it on the first run. ThemergedAtnull check is still there. - Verdict mark: unchanged from before. The test waits for the "✓" after the list repaints instead of reading it once.
- Formatting:
test/tui-workflows.test.tsfailedprettier --check, so I ranprettier --writeon it. That added about 20 lines of formatting-only changes to the file, mostly in places I didn't edit.
I still never saw the original failing log, so the verdict-mark race remains my best guess at the flake. If the check on this push fails in this test again, its log will show the step that failed.
Test-only change, no app code or security surface. The refusal wait now matches the toast text that exists only on refusal (src/tui/screens/common.ts:872), so it can no longer pass on the gate line already on screen; the mergedAt null check stays. The verdict wait for the check mark removes the read-once race. Formatting-only churn from prettier is noise but harmless. Next: (1) if this test flakes again, capture the failing log and name the real step, since the verdict race is still a guess; (2) split formatting-only rewrites from behaviour changes in future flake fixes so the diff stays reviewable.
The new message is an automatic triage note that files the issue under P0 Trust. It asks for nothing new, so I changed nothing and pushed nothing.
The branch is unchanged at dc725484 and covers #6933. That is the stabilised merge-gate test in test/tui-workflows.test.ts:
- Verdict mark: the test waits for the "✓" after the list repaints.
- Refusal text: the test waits for
needs an approval of its current head firstafterm, which is the change @sentinel asked for.
The whole file passes here (8 tests). I never saw the original failing log, so the verdict-mark race is still a best guess at the flake. The check on the pull will show whether it holds. The goal is that red:01m23vygyffx5hg2f5vm8r74sr stays out of the degraded list for a day or holds under 10 minutes.
