I changed the shared `openAbout` helper in `test/egress-admin.test.ts` to remove a timing race. I couldn't reproduce the failure here and didn't see the failing CI log, so the race is my best explanation, not a confirmed cause. The file passes (3 tests, also when run three at a time), and `tsc --noEmit` and `scripts/gate.ts` are clean.

I changed the shared openAbout helper in test/egress-admin.test.ts to remove a timing race. I couldn't reproduce the failure here and didn't see the failing CI log, so the race is my best explanation, not a confirmed cause. The file passes (3 tests, also when run three at a time), and tsc --noEmit and scripts/gate.ts are clean.

What I think was happening. The helper types "arm" into the palette and waits for ada/arm to appear. The palette then re-runs the same search "live" 400 ms after the last keystroke and redraws the list. Under load, the helper's two enter presses could land on either side of that redraw and open a different row. That would leave the test off the About screen, failing with a timeout or a wrong screen. The earlier fixes for this test (#8083, #8089) cleared leftover grants between tests and didn't touch this path.

The change. After ada/arm first appears, the helper now sleeps 600 ms and waits for it to appear again before pressing enter. The sleep is longer than the 400 ms live re-search (PALETTE_LIVE_MS, not exported from app.ts), so I hard-coded the wait. It adds about 600 ms per test.

What I left out. I didn't change the palette or add an export for the live timer. A test hook that signals when the search has finished would be sturdier than a sleep. I also didn't touch the other tests that open the palette the same way (test/trusted-hosts-ui.test.ts types into it too). If this test fails again, the log will show whether the race was the cause.

Run bun test test/egress-admin.test.ts to try it.

Closes #8094

Changes requested — before the latest push

The fix is a fixed sleep for a race nobody has confirmed, so it does not meet the direction's 'fast tests that never flake'. Please fix these in one round.

  1. Replace the sleep with a deterministic wait. Bun.sleep(600) only widens the window. Under the same load that caused the failure, the 400ms live re-search can still land after 600ms, or between the two enter presses. Wait on something the screen shows, or export a small hook or the PALETTE_LIVE_MS constant from app.ts and have the test wait on that. Scout names that hook as the sturdier option in the pull conversation.
  2. Drop the second settleUntil(tui, "ada/arm") (line 84). ada/arm is already on screen from the first one, so it returns at once and proves nothing about the redraw.
  3. Find the cause before changing the shared helper. The pull says it could not reproduce the failure or see the CI log. The sentinel title names the non-admin test ('a non-admin is not offered it, and the key does nothing'), so the failing step may be somewhere else, for example the leftover-state path, the I key, or the 'clone (http)' wait. Read the failing log from the forge and anchor the fix to what it shows. The fix should also make test/trusted-hosts-ui.test.ts stable, because it opens the palette the same way.
  4. The change adds about 600ms to every test that calls openAbout. Waiting on the real signal avoids that cost.

No preview check applies: this pull changes only a test file, so there is nothing to see in the served pages.

The failing test was test/egress-admin.test.ts ("a non-admin is not offered it, and the key does nothing"). I didn't change any code this turn: the fix was already in the branch head, ddda1297, and I didn't confirm it reaches the forge.

That commit adds a wait for the palette's live re-search, which redraws the list about 400 ms after typing, before the test opens a row. Without the wait, an Enter that lands on either side of the redraw opens a different row, and the About screen never appears. I think that is what failed on the loaded check machine.

Four runs of the file here all passed, 3 of 3 tests each time. The 16-push failure was on the forge's check, which I can't see. The run here didn't use that machine's load, and I didn't run gate.ts, tsc or the design lint, since nothing changed this turn.

git push reports "Everything up-to-date", although git shows the upstream branch as gone. If the forge's check on this pull still comes back red, send me its log.

Handed to a person by the crew: two follow-up runs on the review's changes ended without a push, so no more start here until you say what to try. (The forge posts this under the reviewer's name; the reviewer did not write it.)

The egress-grants terminal tests no longer guess how long the palette takes to finish searching; they wait until it says it is done.

Cause. Both egress tests open About through the same openAbout helper. That helper types arm into the : palette and presses enter. The palette searches twice: a local search at 120 ms, then the same query again "live" at 400 ms, and it redraws the list after each one. The test's settle helper can't see either timer. On a loaded check machine, enter could land just before the second redraw and open a different row, which made the test fail on many pulls in the same hour. Main's #8124 added a wait for the repository's 1 line file to show. This branch also had a Bun.sleep(600) before enter, which still depends on the machine's clock.

Change.

  • src/tui/app/app.ts: new App.paletteSettled getter, false while a palette search is waiting on its timer or still running. The live run empties the timer list when it lands, unless a newer keystroke has already replaced that search. settled is unchanged on purpose: counting the palette there would add 400 ms per keystroke to every palette test.
  • test/helpers/tui.ts: new settlePalette(app) waits for paletteSettled and then settles. It fails loudly with the screen if the search never lands.
  • test/egress-admin.test.ts: openAbout uses settlePalette in place of the 600 ms sleep and keeps main's 1 line wait. No assertion changed.
  • test/tui-app.test.ts: a new test checks that the palette is not settled after the 120 ms search and is settled only after the live re-run. It fails without the change.

Not done. bun scripts/fast.ts named 296 test files (about 24 minutes), because every terminal test reaches app.ts. I ran a sample instead: tui-app, egress-admin (repeated, 3 of 3 each time), tui-code, tui-apps, tui-releases and tui-hooks, 45 tests, all passing. The gate and bun x tsc --noEmit are clean. Other palette tests still race in the same way and could move to settlePalette; I left them for later.

Earlier ask (replace the 600ms sleep with a real signal) is met: App.paletteSettled plus settlePalette waits on the search landing, not the clock, and fails loudly with the screen. settled is left alone, so other palette tests do not slow down. The new tui-app test pins the 120ms/400ms sequence and would fail without the getter. The change is small, with no new dependency and no user-facing surface, so both-doors does not apply.

Non-blocking: move the other palette tests (e.g. trusted-hosts-ui) to settlePalette. Non-blocking: confirm paletteTimers is also emptied when the palette closes, so paletteSettled cannot stay false after Esc.
