docs: agent development framework, GitHub templates, eval refactor (#479)
* ci: E2E workflow, web typecheck job, pre-commit hook, test suite

CI:
- ci.yml consolidated to reference ci-tests.yml
- ci-quality.yml: add typecheck-web job for gitnexus-web/
- ci-e2e.yml: E2E workflow with dorny/paths-filter (web changes only)
- ci-report.yml: remove dead integration-reports references
- CI gate allows skipped E2E status
- .gitignore: playwright artifacts, eval test artifacts

Pre-commit hook:
- .githooks/pre-commit: typecheck + unit tests for both packages
- Activated via git config core.hooksPath in prepare script

Test infrastructure:
- Vitest + React Testing Library: 58 unit tests
  (graph, server-connection, mermaid, settings, constants, utils, paths)
- Playwright E2E: 5 tests + manual recording harness
- vitest.config from vitest/config, engines.node >= 20
- Playwright artifacts retain-on-failure
- wait-on in devDependencies
- vitest/coverage-v8 aligned with vitest 4.x

* chore: update gitnexus-web package-lock.json

Reflects devDependency additions (vitest, playwright, wait-on,
@testing-library, etc.) from package.json changes in this PR.

* fix(e2e): add missing process-list-loaded testid, increase CI timeouts

- Add data-testid="process-list-loaded" to ProcessesPanel (E2E tests
  were waiting for an element that didn't exist)
- Increase server connect timeouts from 5s to 10s for slower CI

* fix(ci): run gitnexus-web unit tests in CI, remove unused variable

- Add gitnexus-web npm ci + vitest run to ci-tests.yml so web unit
  tests are gated by the CI status check (were only running locally)
- Remove unused IS_PLAYWRIGHT_AUTOMATION variable from E2E spec

* fix(e2e): add process-row testid, wait for networkidle on page load

- Add data-testid="process-row" to ProcessItem component (E2E tests
  referenced it but it didn't exist in the source)
- Use waitUntil: 'networkidle' on page.goto to ensure Vite dev server
  is fully ready before interacting (fixes first-test timeout in CI)

* fix(e2e): add process-view-button and process-highlight-button testids

E2E tests referenced these data-testid attributes but they didn't
exist in ProcessItem. All 6 E2E testids now have matching source
elements: status-ready, process-list-loaded, process-row,
process-view-button, process-highlight-button, server-url-input.

* fix(e2e): remove networkidle — Vite HMR WebSocket prevents it from resolving

networkidle waits for zero network activity for 500ms, but Vite's HMR
WebSocket stays open permanently, causing page.goto to timeout at 60s
on all tests after the first. The explicit toBeVisible waits on UI
elements are sufficient and deterministic.

* fix(e2e): wait for Server button visibility, add CI retry, all 5 tests pass locally

Root cause: test 1 clicked the Server button before React hydrated,
so the tab content never rendered and the input wasn't found.

Fixes:
- Wait for Server button toBeVisible before clicking
- Increase input wait to 15s
- Remove networkidle (Vite HMR WebSocket prevents it from resolving)
- Add retries: 1 in CI for transient cold-start flakiness

Verified locally: all 5 E2E tests pass, 198 unit tests pass, typecheck clean.

* fix(ci): tolerate LadybugDB native crash during analyze step

gitnexus analyze can crash with "double free or corruption" (known
issue #273) during the LadybugDB native addon shutdown. The index is
usually written successfully before the crash. The workflow now:
1. Allows analyze to exit non-zero with a warning
2. Verifies .gitnexus index was actually created
3. Only fails if no index exists (real failure)

All tests verified locally: 198 unit, 5 E2E pass, typecheck clean.

* fix(ci): fix shell quoting in analyze step, simplify to || true

The previous echo string had special characters that broke bash
quoting in GitHub Actions. Simplified to: analyze || true, then
check if .gitnexus exists.

* docs: add agent development framework, GitHub templates, eval refactor

Agent framework (layered docs for AI-assisted contributions):
- AGENTS.md: canonical instructions, impact analysis, MCP tools
- CLAUDE.md: Claude Code-specific deltas and hooks
- GUARDRAILS.md: safety boundaries, non-negotiables, escalation
- ARCHITECTURE.md: monorepo layout, data flow map
- TESTING.md: test structure, commands, categories
- RUNBOOK.md: copy-paste operations for dev/CI/MCP
- llms.txt: minimal LLM context pointer

Editor integration:
- .cursor/index.mdc + rules/100-monorepo.mdc

GitHub templates:
- PR template with areas-touched checkboxes
- Bug report + feature request issue forms

Eval harness:
- Refactored mcp_bridge, tool_registry, constants
- Error sanitization utilities
- Property-based tests via Hypothesis

* fix(eval): use format_exception instead of format_exc in sanitize_exception

format_exc() returns the currently handled exception traceback, which
may be unrelated if called outside an active except block. Using
format_exception(type(exc), exc, exc.__traceback__) reliably captures
the passed exception's traceback.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update CONTRIBUTING.md and TESTING.md for current CI/hook setup

- CONTRIBUTING.md: add gitnexus-web typecheck command, pre-commit hook
  checklist item
- TESTING.md: add gitnexus-web typecheck command, pre-commit hook
  section (husky), update CI integration to list actual workflow files
  (ci-quality, ci-tests, ci-e2e)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update testing docs to reflect CI/E2E changes from PR #486

- AGENTS.md: update test counts (CLI ~2000 unit, ~1850 integration),
  add gitnexus-web testing section (198 unit, 5 E2E with commands)
- RUNBOOK.md: fix Node requirement to >=20, fix E2E local repro command
- TESTING.md: E2E uses data-testid selectors + real servers, not mocks
- .cursor/rules/100-monorepo.mdc: add web test/E2E commands

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: address context engineering review — deduplicate tokens, expand Cursor rules

- Remove ~100-line gitnexus:start block from CLAUDE.md (was duplicated from AGENTS.md)
- Fix gitnexus:start block inlined inside AGENTS.md Reference Docs bullet (doubled)
- Replace CLAUDE.md scope table with pointer to AGENTS.md (single source of truth)
- Expand .cursor/index.mdc with 5 non-negotiable safety rules for always-on context
- Add .cursor/rules/200-eval.mdc with Python/eval commands (glob-scoped to eval/**)
- Improve llms.txt with priority annotations and descriptions
- Bump version headers to 1.2.0, last-reviewed to 2026-03-24

Saves ~1,400 tokens/session with zero information loss.

Raw Blame History

Testing — GitNexus

How we structure tests and which commands to run locally and in CI.

Packages

Package Path Runner Notes
CLI + MCP core gitnexus/ Vitest Primary test surface in CI
Web UI gitnexus-web/ Vitest Unit/component tests
Web UI E2E gitnexus-web/ Playwright Run when changing UI flows

Commands (local)

From repository root, unless noted:

gitnexus (CLI / library)

cd gitnexus
npm install
npm run build
npm test                    # unit: vitest run test/unit
npm run test:integration    # integration suite
npm run test:all
npm run test:coverage
npx tsc --noEmit            # typecheck (matches CI)

gitnexus-web

cd gitnexus-web
npm install
npm test                    # unit tests (vitest)
npx tsc -b --noEmit         # typecheck (matches CI)
npm run test:coverage
npm run test:e2e            # Playwright (requires gitnexus serve + npm run dev)

Pre-commit hook

A husky pre-commit hook (.husky/pre-commit) runs automatically on every git commit:

  • gitnexus-web/ files stagedtsc -b --noEmit + vitest run
  • gitnexus/ files stagedtsc --noEmit + vitest run --project default

Skip with git commit --no-verify (use sparingly).

Test categories

  • Unit — Pure logic, parsers, graph/query helpers; fast; no network.
  • Integration — Real combinations (filesystem, MCP wiring, larger pipelines) as already organized under gitnexus/test/integration.
  • Eval-style / golden sets — For agent- or classification-style behavior, keep labeled inputs and expected outputs (JSON or table-driven tests) and run them in CI when relevant.
  • E2E (web) — Critical user paths only; prefer data-testid attributes for stable selectors. Tests run against real backend (gitnexus serve) and Vite dev server.

Performance metrics (targets)

Set targets to match team expectations, then tune to this repos CI reality:

Metric Target (initial) Notes
Unit coverage Align with CI CI runs Vitest with coverage in gitnexus
Unit wall time Fast PR feedback Use vitest run test/unit for tight loop
Integration duration < few minutes Guard heavy tests with env flags if needed

Regression testing

Re-run the full relevant suite when:

  • Prompt or agent-behavior documentation changes (if tests encode behavior)
  • Model or embedding-related code paths change
  • Graph schema, query contracts, or MCP tool shapes change
  • Dependencies with parsing or runtime impact upgrade

CI integration

GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/ci.yml) orchestrate:

  • ci-quality.ymltsc --noEmit for gitnexus/ + tsc -b --noEmit for gitnexus-web/
  • ci-tests.ymlvitest run with coverage (ubuntu) + cross-platform (macOS, Windows)
  • ci-e2e.yml — Playwright E2E tests, gated on gitnexus-web/** changes

Local checks before pushing:

cd gitnexus && npx tsc --noEmit && npm test
cd ../gitnexus-web && npx tsc -b --noEmit && npm test

Or rely on the pre-commit hook which runs these automatically for staged files.

User acceptance / beta (optional)

For staged releases or UI betas: deploy to a staging environment, collect structured feedback, watch errors and latency, then iterate before a wider release.
