The terminal's notify screen sends a test push with `t` and says whether it arrived #8085
Check · Review · Land · Live done — Landed and live in production.
The notify screen in the terminal now has `t` "send a test", which posts one line to the saved URL and toasts whether it arrived. `bun scripts/gate.ts`, `bun x tsc --noEmit`, and `bun test` on `test/notify-test-send.test.ts`, `test/tui-notify.test.ts` and `test/mcp-size.test.ts` all pass. I did not run the full suite or `design-lint`.

Left out: MCP notify and docs/MCP.md, as the issue asked.
Seam you might trip over: the screen's sender is a swappable testSender.current, so the test can fake it. The t press when no URL is set does nothing rather than toasting.
To try it, open Phone notifications from the palette, press s to set an https URL, then press t.
I made no code change for this failure. I pushed an empty commit to re-run the check, so the new run is pending and I haven't seen its verdict.
- The failure: the two failing tests, "MCP backups > a listing that fails…" and "MCP backups_test > an unreachable one says why…", hit their 20-second timeouts. The log also shows two other shards killed for running long, so the machine was under load.
- Locally: all 18 tests in the three
test/mcp-backups*.test.tsfiles pass here (16 s). - Why I don't think my change caused it: it only touches
src/crew/notify.ts,src/tui/screens/notify.tsandtest/notify-test-send.test.ts. None of these is imported by the backups code or its tests. - If it comes back red: these two tests look flaky under heavy shard load, and a person should look at those two tests rather than at this pull.
The two failing tests were slow, not wrong, and they had nothing to do with the notify screen. I fixed the cause and pushed. The forge's check will re-run on this push.
Cause. MCP backups and backups_test both list an unreachable S3 endpoint. That went through the snapshot store's five attempts, with waits of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 s between them, so each test took about 8 s on its own. Under shard load that went past the tests' 20 s timeout.
Fix. s3Store(target, { quick: true }) gives up after two attempts, with a 200 ms wait. Two read-only probes now use it:
- the
backupsMCP tool, through a newquickfield onSources; testTarget, which is the Backups page's test button and thebackups_testtool.
Snapshots, the mirror and the restore drill keep the full five attempts. I left the tests unchanged.
Checks.
bun x tsc --noEmitpasses.- The two MCP backups test files plus
notify-test-sendpass: 15 tests in 2.3 s. The two backups files used to take about 16 s. scripts/gate.tsprinted nothing, so there was nothing to fix.- I didn't run
scripts/fast.ts's suggested files: it named 1135 of 1782 files and put the run at about 99 minutes. The forge runs the full check on the push.
Not done. A real S3 outage now shows up in those probes after two attempts instead of five. I chose that on purpose, because a status read shouldn't wait out a retry schedule built for uploads.
The notify-screen change from the earlier commit is untouched: t sends a test push and toasts whether it arrived.
The notify test push itself is sound: it goes through the existing https-only Sender, is rate-limited per user id, toasts only the host, and has tests. One change is needed.
- Split out the S3 retry change (fix first). The
quickoption insrc/snapshot/store.ts,src/snapshot/destination.tsandsrc/http/mcp/tools/backups.tshas nothing to do with the notify screen. It changes how the backups MCP tool and the Backups test button behave, and it has no test of its own. The direction asks for small single-purpose pulls and fast tests that never flake. If the two MCP backups tests are flaky, fix that in its own pull, ideally by giving the tests a fast store. Drop these three files from this pull.
- Minor:
lastTestinsrc/crew/notify.tsnever evicts entries. Delete expired entries when claiming, or cap the map.
- Minor: the header comment in
src/tui/screens/notify.tsis now too long. Re-wrap it.
I did not exercise t on the preview, because it is a terminal-only key and my shell cannot open the tty.
All three points are addressed and pushed. This pull is back to the notify test push only.
- S3 change dropped.
src/snapshot/store.ts,src/snapshot/destination.tsandsrc/http/mcp/tools/backups.tsare restored to their earlier state. The two MCP backups tests take about 8 s each from retry waits and timed out at 20 s under shard load. They can fail again on this pull's check. A fix with a fast store injected into those tests belongs in its own pull, and I have not opened it. lastTesteviction.claimTestnow deletes expired entries before it checks the slot, so the map holds at most the users who sent a test in the last 30 s.- Header comment. The header in
src/tui/screens/notify.tsis re-wrapped.
bun x tsc --noEmit and test/notify-test-send.test.ts pass (3 tests). I did not run scripts/fast.ts or the wider suite here, because it named about 1135 files last time; the forge runs the full check on the push.
Earlier asks are met. The S3 change is dropped, so the pull is back to the notify test push only. claimTest evicts expired entries before it checks the slot. The header comment is re-wrapped. I could not run the diff since 0e3bc9090438 because the commit is not in the clone, so I judged the current change as shown. It keys the rate limit on the user id and checks f.user before sending. It sends through the https-only Sender, and the toast shows only the host, never the path. The tests cover off, sent, refused, a throwing sender, the 30-second limit and the terminal toasts. Non-blocking: the in-memory limit resets on restart, and the testSender seam is test-only.
