Closes #373

Summary

Two of the four timeout tiers that bound a coverage run did not exist in this
repository. This adds them and pins the whole ordering with a contract test.

The tiers

Tier	Where it is set	Value
Per-test allowance	rust/.config/nextest.toml	300 s (period = "60s" x terminate-after = 5)
Compile-test tier	rust/.config/nextest.toml overrides (binary(compile_tests))	600 s (terminate-after = 10)
Run-wide global timeout	rust/.config/nextest.toml	1200 s (20 m)
Version floor	rust/.config/nextest.toml + Makefile	0.9.100
Cargo watchdog	RUN_RUST_CARGO_WAIT_TIMEOUT in both coverage workflows	2700 s (45 m)
Job ceiling	timeout-minutes in both coverage workflows	65 m

Each tier is a bound rather than a measurement: it must be large enough that no
healthy test reaches it, so that reaching one means something is wrong.

This branch's own gate run falsified that claim for the per-test allowance,
and the fix is the compile-test tier. The first gate run after the 300 s
allowance landed logged five SLOW/TERMINATING markers, all naming
compile_time_ui, and killed it at 300.134 s while it was still compiling
num-traits — that is, while it was healthy rather than hung.

The cause is that trybuild is build-bound rather than test-bound. It compiles
a scratch crate per UI case into rust/target/tests/trybuild/, outside the
rust/target/ tree nextest builds in, and it inherits RUSTFLAGS from the
cargo that invoked it — so make test's --jobs 1, -C codegen-units=1 and
CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 slow it several-fold against the coverage lane's plain
-D warnings. Two cold measurements were taken on 2026-09-19 with the gate's
exact flags against an emptied scratch tree: 277.049 s for a single-test run
and 124.884 s for a full make test, against 62.484 s for the same test in CI
on run 35400748402 with its caches warm. The gap is sccache and machine load,
not the test, so the allowance is sized for the larger figure.

terminate-after is therefore 10 for those two binaries and 5 for the other
123. The override is scoped by binary rather than by test name because
cuprum-streams::compile_tests::transition_privacy is the same species, so a
bound covering only the test that happened to time out first would leave its
sibling as the next tripwire. largest_per_test_allowance_seconds() now takes
the maximum across the profile and every override: an override exists precisely
to exceed the profile it overrides, so reading the profile alone would let the
containment assertions pass while a test could outlast its container.

The config location is part of the fix. The file went in at
rust/.config/nextest.toml, not the repository root, because nextest resolves
.config/nextest.toml from the Cargo workspace root and searches no parent
directory. Cuprum has no root Cargo.toml, so the workspace is rust/. A copy
at the repository root would have been read by nothing — and would have
suppressed the shared action's own fallback, since generate-coverage treats a
root config as one already supplied. Both tiers would have been inert while
every value assertion still passed. Proved by mutation: a config at the root
exits 0 with no parse error, while an invalid value at the workspace root exits
96. The contract pins the absence at the root and the presence at the workspace
root.

The watchdog formula. The shared action's generate-coverage README sizes
its watchdog as watchdog >= global-timeout + termination + cold build, and
this repository now asserts the three-term sum:

• termination is the largest configured slow-timeout.grace-period with a
  60 s floor. The floor is this repository's, not nextest's — nextest waits
  10 s by default. It is a floor on an allowance rather than a reading of the
  tool, so it can only raise the sum the watchdog must contain, never lower it,
  which is the safe direction for a budget meant to avoid reporting a slow
  build as a hang.
• cold build is 600 s, taken from the estate's own cold run rather than from
  Cuprum's warm one. These lanes archive no target tree, so a branch's first
  run compiles everything sccache cannot serve. Netsuke's cold trunk run — a
  suite roughly twenty-five times the 112 tests measured here — spent about
  512 s and was killed at 600 during report generation. Cuprum's whole warm
  Rust invocation was 83 s.

Sizing the watchdog at 2700 s makes the ceiling land on a boundary that already
existed: 2700 + 300 + 900 is exactly 3900 s, or 65 minutes. The cold-build
allowance was chosen to fit the existing ceiling, not the ceiling raised to fit
it.

The tiers are worthless on a nextest that cannot read them. Nextest warns
about a configuration key it does not recognize and carries on, so on a release
that predates global-timeout the whole-run budget is not rejected but silently
dropped: the suite still passes, and every assertion that reads the file still
passes with it. That is the same inert-tier failure as a file in the wrong
directory, reached from the other direction. rust/.config/nextest.toml
therefore declares nextest-version = "0.9.100", the first release that
understood the key, which nextest itself enforces from 0.9.55 onwards. Releases
older than 0.9.55 ignore that declaration as an unknown key too, so both
Makefile nextest sites check the installed version and refuse anything below
the floor. The declaration and the Makefile's NEXTEST_MIN_VERSION are held to
the same value by
test_the_nextest_floor_agrees_between_the_config_and_the_makefile.

The comparison is awk rather than sort -V, which is GNU-only and absent from
MSYS sort. It matches the version field by shape rather than position, because
cargo-nextest 0.9.133 (65e806bd5 2026-04-14) puts the version in $2 and a
fixed position would silently read the commit hash instead. Verified end to end
against a stubbed cargo-nextest: 0.9.54 and 0.9.99 are refused, and 0.9.100,
0.9.120, 0.9.133 and 1.0.0 all run.

Python is bounded separately. The coverage step is language: mixed, so the
Python half is not covered by nextest's tiers; it is bounded by
pytest-timeout at timeout = 30 in pyproject.toml.

The docs correction worth noting: the real job ceiling is 65 minutes, not the
60 that earlier prose claimed.

Tests. cuprum/unittests/test_timeout_ordering_contract.py previously
carried a sentinel assertion that failed as soon as the config file appeared.
It now performs the ordering checks it described, reading the workflows and the
nextest config through cuprum/unittests/_timeout_lane_support.py and
cuprum/unittests/_coverage_timeout_lane_support.py. A second module,
cuprum/unittests/test_compile_test_timeout_tier.py, holds the compile-test
tier to the binaries it is meant for, since an override whose filter matches
nothing is inert. A third, cuprum/unittests/test_termination_allowance.py,
drives the grace-period reader with synthetic configurations: the live
configuration declares no grace period, so this tier can only ever return the
floor, and a reader that ignored overrides would return that same floor — the
contract would have passed with the reading removed. The assertions are backed
by mutation testing: moving the config, shrinking the global timeout below the
per-test allowance, removing terminate-after, renaming the override filter
away from compile_tests, removing the override, widening a grace period that
only an override declares, and driving the watchdog/ceiling boundaries from
both sides each fail the relevant test.

The coverage lane has since run the tiers end to end and confirmed them. CI
run 36170720007 used nextest 0.9.120, above the 0.9.100 floor, and its coverage
log is the direct evidence the earlier run lacked. compile_time_ui PASSed at
63.594 s with the single SLOW [> 60.000s] marker, and transition_privacy
PASSed at 57.246 s — Summary [63.758s] 125 tests run: 125 passed (1 slow),
with zero TERMINATING lines in the whole log. The same test that was
previously killed at TERMINATING [>300.000s] while healthily compiling now
completes inside its 600 s override. That run also settles the override's
scope: the sibling test finished within 7 s of the one that timed out first, so
a bound scoped by test name would have left it as the next tripwire.

The branch was rebased onto origin/main (87b343b6) and the 31 branch commits
replay unchanged, with the branch's net diff preserved line-for-line; the head
has since moved on through the review responses below. Three conflicts arose and
all three were resolved by keeping both sides:

• cuprum/unittests/test_skylos_lint_contract.py and pyproject.toml — this
  branch added a should_terminate_others whitelist exception in 5d159e89
  and removed it again in 31b95820, having found that main fixed the same
  orphan in Add Loom native-pump lifecycle models (#380) #405. The net effect is zero, so the resolution takes main's
  reformatted _LINT_PREREQUISITES and the removal.
• docs/adr-003-two-tier-python-linting.md — both sides append a section at
  the same tail anchor. main's 2026-09-25 amendment is kept after this
  branch's 2026-09-21 addendum, matching the file's append-in-date-order
  convention and keeping main's own forward reference ("the 2026-09-25
  amendment below") pointing downward.

Makefile, docs/contents.md, and docs/developers-guide.md merged without
conflict; main's lint-hierarchy split and this branch's nextest work sit in
different regions.

Gates on the rebased head: five of six pass, and make lint needs reading.
make check-fmt, make markdownlint, make nixie, and make typecheck all
exit 0. make test exits 0 (125 Rust tests across 6 binaries, all Python
batches, the doctests). make lint aborts in its python-lint recipe with
F0002 astroid-error on all 301 files.

That abort is a host-toolchain gap, not a branch regression, and the control is
decisive: a one-line x = 1 file in an empty /tmp directory crashes the
gate's exact invocation — uv tool run --python pypy --from pylint==4.0.9 pylint — with TypeError: expected str, got getset_descriptor object in
astroid/raw_building.py:482, while the same pylint==4.0.9 on CPython lints
it normally. This branch makes no pylint change against main, and main's own
ADR-003 amendment (merged here) records the dependency: uv 0.12.19 resolves
--python pypy to PyPy 3.12. This host runs uv 0.11.19, which has no PyPy
3.12 in its known set and resolves to 3.11.15, so pylint 4.0.9 runs on an
interpreter main no longer targets. CI's pinned setup-uv has 0.12.19, so the
gate is expected to be green there — and it is: lint-test passes on
8bbca1d8 in 4m35s.

Every lint leaf the abort skipped was run separately and passed: ruff check,
interrogate (100.0%), df12-pylint (10.00/10 — CPython, so unaffected by the
crash), ambrleaks, clippy + cargo doc, Whitaker across all three Rust
packages, spelling, yamllint, and actionlint. Three of those — clippy,
Whitaker, and the two GitHub-Actions linters — ran before the last three
commits, which touch only comments in _timeout_lane_support.py and prose in
docs/adr-003-two-tier-python-linting.md; no code, config, or import changed,
so their results still describe this head's behaviour, but no run covers the
final bytes. That is an evidence gap, stated as one. make test, make check-fmt, make markdownlint, make typecheck, and make spelling were all
re-run against 8bbca1d8 itself.

The Skylos dead-code gate was re-run on the final head and is green: 118
files, 17503 LOC, 0 analysis errors, 0 dead code, 0 unused anything, exit 0.
It matters most here, since this branch's docs merge is exactly the shape of
change that withdrew a liveness credit before. Its --format concise report is
empty when clean, so the scan's having genuinely run was demonstrated by a
read-only --json probe: dead_code_liveness.rescued is 63, meaning the
documentation-credit path fired 63 times. The two edited documents were also
checked directly — adr-003 (13540 bytes) is read and its backticked-token set
is unchanged, while developers-guide.md (344386 bytes) is skipped by the
300000-byte ceiling, so no edit here can withdraw a credit.

That run was warm, so it is not itself evidence for the tier this branch
widens: on the pre-rebase head the crate build finished in 1.52 s and
compile_time_ui took 2.979 s. The cold path is evidenced separately, by the
two 2026-09-19 measurements taken with the gate's exact flags and
rust/target/tests/trybuild/ emptied.
compile_time_ui passed at 124.884 s in a full make test (two SLOW markers
and no termination) and at 277.049 s in a single-test run; both are recorded in
docs/coverage-timeout-tiers.md, and the budget is sized for the larger.

Every check is green on the final head 8bbca1d8 — all thirteen required
contexts, including the three that matter most here: lint-test (confirming the
local lint abort is host-only), coverage (the lane that exercises the tiers),
and benchmark-ratchet.

CodeScene's delta gate found one thing worth fixing, and it was real. Its
"New code is healthy" gate failed on a Large Method:
test_the_trybuild_tests_carry_their_own_allowance had reached 74 lines against
a threshold of 70. The function carried two subjects — holding the override to
the widened allowance, and holding the filter that carries it to the binaries
that need it — and the module's own docstring already named them separately.
The second is now _assert_filter_selects_the_pinned_sources, leaving the test
at 54 lines and the helper at 36, with no assertion weakened or dropped.
cs delta origin/main reports no issues.

Documented in docs/coverage-timeout-tiers.md, which the branch extracted
from the developers' guide, with rust/.config/ added to
docs/repository-layout.md. The extraction was not cosmetic: Skylos credits a
documented symbol's liveness only from documents it actually reads, and it skips
any document larger than 300000 bytes without saying so. The guide is past that
ceiling — it crossed on 2026-09-21 and is 344386 bytes on origin/main — so a
section added to it would have been read by nothing. Its ceiling and the
SKY-U001 an author meets there are recorded in an addendum to
docs/adr-003-two-tier-python-linting.md.

Review responses

The version check ran on a different PATH from the probe that vouched for
it, and an empty stream passed it. Both halves were real, and together they
left the floor unenforced in exactly the case it was written for. Each call
site probes with LOCAL_TOOL_ENV's augmented PATH — which is how a
cargo-nextest in ~/.local/bin is found on a host whose ambient PATH lacks
that directory — and then ran the version call on the ambient PATH. The probe
therefore finds a tool the check cannot run: the call exits 127 having printed
nothing, and the awk program accepted that empty stream, because a comparison
of no version against the floor reads as "not below" it. Either defect alone
certifies every release; together they let the whole-run budget be dropped
silently while the check that exists to prevent that reported success. The
version call, and the run after it, now carry the same environment as the
probe, and the program's END guard refuses a zero-record stream.

The probe-only shape predates this branch — git show aa50683b~1:Makefile
shows it arriving in cb59f204, "Route debug builds through dev-fast (#410)" —
so this is a pre-existing gap that the new check was inserted into rather than
one the check created. The new check is what made it able to certify a wrong
answer, so the fix belongs here.

cuprum/unittests/test_nextest_version_floor.py holds both properties, and it
reads the program from the expanded recipe rather than from the file. That
distinction is load-bearing: $$i in the Makefile is an escaped $i, which
Make collapses before the shell sees it, so the file's text hands awk $$i
— an indirection through the field's value. It agrees on one-field input,
where $($1) is $0, and disagrees on the real four-field version line, where
$($2) collapses to the whole line and the version field is never read. Proved
by mutation: removing the END guard, dropping LOCAL_TOOL_ENV from the
version call, dropping it from the probe, and unescaping $$i each fail there;
the last fails six rows.

Write failures in the grace-period contract now name the clauses that produced
them. That reader is driven by synthetic configurations, and its
override-only row is the one the live file cannot produce, so a failure there
is read without the file in front of it.

The grace-period assertion's message is the one item taken from a review
comment rather than from a defect, and it is worth being precise about why it
was taken, because it is not gate-enforced. cuprum/unittests/ has no
__init__.py, so pylint and astroid never descend into it and C9102 cannot
fire there: the directory carries 523 bare assert statements across 256
modules and the lint gate is silent on all of them. Of those, this branch's own
files contribute 3, all inherited unchanged from
test_timeout_ceiling_property.py on main, where they sit at the top level
of Hypothesis @given bodies. The message was taken because a failure in that
particular row is read without the file in front of it — an argument about that
row, not an argument for rewriting the directory's style.

Two findings on the rebased head, both real, both fixed in afa4d9a0. The
first: the EXPECTED_PER_TEST_ALLOWANCE_SECONDS rationale called 124.884 s a
warm measurement and placed compile_tests under the default profile. Both
inverted this branch's own record — docs/coverage-timeout-tiers.md cites
124.884 s as one of the two cold measurements, and the compile-test tier
exists precisely because those binaries are bounded by cold-build time rather
than their own work. The comment now states that split and cites the 62.484 s
figure that actually belongs to the profile.

The second: the ADR-003 addendum told a reader to repair any symbol that "still
has a runtime caller", which is ambiguous in exactly the case the paragraph
exists for. It now separates three outcomes — a required runtime caller removed
by a refactor is restored; a live symbol whose caller Skylos cannot resolve is
verified and recorded as an entry point in [tool.skylos.dead_code]; a
genuinely dead symbol is removed — with make skylos-allow named as the last
resort it is. That matches the Skylos dead-code policy in
docs/developers-guide.md, which asks for exactly that entry-point record
before any exception.

A third error in the same paragraph, unflagged, found while verifying the
first two. The addendum said docs/developers-guide.md "sits within a few
kilobytes" of Skylos's 300000-byte per-file ceiling. It does not. Measured along
origin/main's own history the guide is 298873 bytes at 7606b063 (2026-09-20)
and 302306 at 13dc6399 (2026-09-21), so the crossing lands there; it is 343720
bytes on origin/main today, some 43 KB past the limit rather than
approaching it. The claim was written in 3eec9017, after the crossing, and no
gate covers it — the ceiling is silent in Skylos by design, so nothing would
have contradicted the figure until a SKY-U001 appeared. Corrected in
a04b4892, and the same figure in this description is corrected with it. The
edit keeps the paragraph's three-line shape, the 80-column wrap, and the
backticked identifier set byte-identical before and after, so it adds and
removes no symbol mention Skylos reads for liveness credit.

The adr-003 paragraph carrying all three fixes is branch-new text, not
accepted text: git diff origin/main -- docs/adr-003-two-tier-python-linting.md
shows additions only, with zero deletions, which is the check the repository's
append-only convention for accepted ADRs requires.

Three pre-merge checks on 8bbca1d8, and the two that were real are fixed in
9a8f127e. The review noted no actionable code comments on that head; these
were the check rows.

The first was that the version-floor contract exercised only test-rust while
the gate is written twice, the second copy sitting in DEV_FAST_TEST_COMMAND.
Nothing failed when that copy lost its gate, so the dev-test route could
quietly drop the whole-run budget. The second was that no test executed a
Makefile route at all, and none proved that nextest resolves the configuration
this branch installs — the tests read the file and checked its tier values,
which a configuration nextest never loads would satisfy just as well.

test_nextest_route_floor.py drives both routes with a stubbed
cargo-nextest that answers the version probe and a stubbed cargo that
records the command the route would have run. The recorded argv is read as well
as the exit status, because a route that printed the refusal and then ran the
suite anyway would drop the budget exactly as an unguarded one does. Verified
by mutation: dropping the gate from DEV_FAST_TEST_COMMAND fails exactly one
test — the dev-test case — which is the case the old suite could not see.

test_nextest_config_discovery.py asks nextest for the version requirement it
resolved and reads the answer out of the report rather than checking a status.
It uses show-config version, which resolves the workspace and reads
.config/nextest.toml without building: 0.054 s against 58.66 s for
show-config test-groups measured here. A control workspace declaring an
unreachable 9.9.9 floor is read back through the same path, so a run that
reported the pinned constant fails rather than passes.

test_nextest_version_floor.py gains _UNPARSABLE_PROBES for the output the
check cannot read: garbage, cargo-nextest unknown, cargo-nextest, 0.9,
v0.9.100, and a release candidate. All six are refused.

The third check, on unit architecture, is declined, and the reasoning is in the
PR discussion rather than repeated here: two of its three claims are
contradicted by patterns already on main — a cached file-reading reader and
cache_clear() in a fixture — and the third asks for an injectable Cargo runner
that would make the compile-test contract assert agreement with a stub instead
of with Cargo's own target derivation, which is the thing that contract is
about.

One environment note, recorded because it shaped the evidence rather than
because the diff caused it. This worktree's .venv was a PyPy 3.12.14
environment, in which crosshair-tool cannot build (_tracers.c includes
opcode.h, which only a CPython install provides), so make build failed and
make typecheck and make test aborted in that prerequisite without running.
The venv is gitignored build state with no installed packages, recreated by
uv venv --clear; it is now CPython 3.14.4 and the Python batches run.

Scope note

The branch once also carried a fix for an orphaned should_terminate_others
call in cuprum/_pipeline_wait.py. main reached the same fix independently in
#405 and made the query live at the identical call site, so that change is taken
from main and dropped from this PR. What remains is the part main did not
have: the guide/ADR-003 material on what a SKY-U001 of that shape means.

Summary by Sourcery

Configure and enforce the complete coverage timeout hierarchy, including a dedicated compile-test allowance and safeguards against inert nextest settings.

New Features:

• Add nextest timeout configuration with a 300-second default per-test allowance, a 600-second compile-test override, and a 1200-second global run timeout.
• Add nextest version-floor enforcement so both Rust test routes reject releases that cannot enforce the configured global timeout.
• Add end-to-end and contract coverage for timeout configuration discovery, tier ordering, compile-test targeting, termination allowances, version checks, and coverage workflow budgets.

Bug Fixes:

• Prevent healthy trybuild compilation tests from being terminated by the default timeout allowance.
• Prevent silently unbounded coverage runs caused by misplaced nextest configuration or unsupported nextest versions.
• Ensure nextest version checks use the same tool environment as discovery and reject missing or unparsable version output.

Enhancements:

• Separate nextest configuration readers from coverage workflow readers and centralize timeout-tier calculations.
• Make coverage watchdog sizing account for global timeout, termination allowance, and cold-build time.
• Document the coverage timeout tiers, repository configuration location, and Skylos documentation-size constraints.

CI:

• Pin both coverage workflows to a 2700-second cargo watchdog and a 65-minute job ceiling, with contract tests enforcing the budget relationships.

Documentation:

• Add documentation describing the nested coverage timeout tiers and compile-test allowance.
• Document the rust/.config nextest configuration location and Skylos documentation liveness limits.

Tests:

• Replace the timeout sentinel with contracts that validate the configured nextest and coverage timeout hierarchy.
• Add tests verifying compile-test filters resolve to the intended Cargo targets and that both nextest execution routes enforce the version floor.

Summary

• Add nextest timeout tiers in rust/.config/nextest.toml: a 300-second default per-test allowance, a 600-second compile_tests allowance and a 1,200-second global timeout. Configure hung-test termination and set the minimum nextest version to 0.9.100.
• Check the nextest version in both Makefile test routes before running nextest. Keep the cargo test fallback when nextest is absent.
• Add contract tests for timeout values, ordering, configuration discovery, compile-test filter scope, termination allowances and version checks. Extend coverage-lane contracts to check watchdog and job-ceiling requirements.
• Document the timeout tiers and separate Python timeout handling in docs/coverage-timeout-tiers.md. Link the guide from the developers’ guide and documentation index.
• Update ADR-003 with guidance on Skylos documentation-liveness limits.
• Treat issue #373 as historical context; it is closed and does not impose active requirements. No new execplan document is included. Test execution results were not provided.

Walkthrough

The change adds Nextest timeout tiers and checks its minimum version before Makefile test commands run it. It adds contracts for timeout settings and watchdog ordering, documents the timeout configuration, and records separate Skylos documentation-liveness guidance.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Keep the nextest configuration, timeout contracts, route tests, and related timeout documentation. Remove the unrelated Skylos documentation changes in docs/adr-003-two-tier-python-linting.md and the Skylos policy additions in docs/developers-guide.md. These changes address documentation liveness and SKY-U001, not nextest timeout coverage.

Full details: Testing (Property / Proof)

Explanation

Add property-based coverage for the new timeout readers. The pull request introduces _duration_seconds() in cuprum/unittests/_timeout_lane_support.py (head lines 213–226). It accepts an arbitrary non-empty sequence of numeric s, m, and h parts and must preserve the sum. No test calls this parser directly. The checked-in configuration and parameter table exercise only a few fixed forms. The same gap applies to the maximum across an arbitrary number of profile overrides; the table covers at most one override. The existing Hypothesis test covers the moved required_ceiling() arithmetic, not these new invariants.

Resolution

Add Hypothesis tests for _duration_seconds() that generate non-empty lists of non-negative amounts and s/m/h units, build the contiguous duration string, and assert the result equals the independently calculated sum. Add a property test for termination_allowance_seconds() or its aggregation helper that generates zero or more override grace periods and asserts the result equals max(60, max(all configured periods, default=0)). Keep the existing parameterized boundary cases for readable floor and profile-versus-override examples.

Disposition: the NEXTEST_CONFIG finding does not apply

@coderabbitai The review of rust/.config/nextest.toml (lines 1-9) asked that
both generate-coverage calls set NEXTEST_CONFIG to the absolute
rust/.config/nextest.toml path, on the stated grounds that the coverage
invocations must load the workspace nextest configuration. The premise is not
correct: NEXTEST_CONFIG is not an environment variable nextest reads, so
setting it cannot make the lanes load anything. No change is warranted, and the
config is already in force.

1. nextest does not read NEXTEST_CONFIG

The official configuration documentation names --config-file as the only way
to override the resolved path, and nextest's environment-variable reference has
no NEXTEST_CONFIG entry. Verified empirically rather than by reading the
docs alone: an invalid-TOML file referenced through NEXTEST_CONFIG returns
exit 0 with zero parse errors on both nextest 0.9.120 (the version the
shared action installs and CI ran) and 0.9.133 (local), while the same file
passed through --config-file exits 96 with a parse error.

2. The action never forwards the path it resolves

In generate-coverage's run_rust.py at the pinned SHA
(77ea1034): ensure_nextest_config() resolves a path and yields it, but the
consumer is with config_context: with no as binding (line 656), so the
resolved path is discarded. The script never constructs --config-file and
never writes the path to GITHUB_ENV — grepping the file for either returns
nothing. There is therefore no channel by which a resolved config path could
reach nextest, with or without the variable.

3. nextest already reads the workspace config; the finding's target path is dead

Reproduced in an isolated workspace matching this repository's layout (no root
Cargo.toml, workspace under rust/) using the action's own invocation form,
cargo nextest list --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml from the repository root:

Invalid TOML planted at	Result
rust/.config/nextest.toml (workspace root)	TOML parse error, run fails
.config/nextest.toml (repository root)	ignored entirely, exit 0, tests run

The second row is exactly the path the finding asks that NEXTEST_CONFIG be
pointed at. nextest does not read it, so pointing a variable nextest does not
consult at a file nextest does not read changes nothing.

4. Acting on the finding would be a no-op at best

This repository keeps no config at the repository root; the contract test
asserts its absence, and that assertion passes in CI. During a coverage run the
only file at that path is the action's own NEXTEST_DEFAULT_CONFIG, which
ensure_nextest_config() writes because the path does not exist, then unlinks
in its finally. Setting NEXTEST_CONFIG there would only stop the action from
writing and deleting its own temporary file; nextest's resolution would be
unchanged.

5. CI corroboration

The coverage job logs SLOW [> 60.000s] ... compile_tests compile_time_ui
passing at 62.484 s. The action's written default sets period = "180s", under
which that line could not appear at 60 s — so the action's root config is
demonstrably not in force. (Noted precisely: this rules out the action's 180 s
default; it does not by itself distinguish this repository's 60 s config from
nextest's built-in 60 s default. Point 3 is what establishes that the file nextest
reads is rust/.config/nextest.toml.)

Status of the file

rust/.config/nextest.toml keeps the placement the finding asked us to stop
relying on. That placement was itself the subject of an earlier review round: it
sits beside the Cargo workspace manifest rather than at the repository root
because nextest resolves .config/nextest.toml from the workspace root and
searches no parent directory, and the contract test pins both the presence at
the workspace root and the absence at the repository root.

@leynos Withdraw the finding.

NEXTEST_CONFIG is not a cargo-nextest configuration variable. The documented repository configuration path is .config/nextest.toml at the Cargo workspace root. The documented path override is --config-file.

Cuprum’s Cargo workspace root is rust/. Therefore, rust/.config/nextest.toml is the correct repository configuration path. The contract test also guards against an inert repository-root configuration.

The shared-action source at commit 77ea1034 was not available in the shallow checkout. This does not affect the disposition. Setting NEXTEST_CONFIG cannot affect nextest configuration resolution.

Disposition: both findings accepted and fixed in 847604f5

@coderabbitai Thank you — both findings were correct, and both were the same
mistake in two places: reading a nextest profile's fields without reading the
overrides that replace them. I reproduced each against the real helpers before
changing anything, and fixed both in 847604f5, with a regression guard
for the second in a652c97c. The review reported four findings; they are two
distinct defects, each raised under two categories at different severities.

Finding 1 — the compile-test assertions were not bound to each other

Accepted. The test asserted widest > base over all overrides and,
separately, that the declared filters contained binary(compile_tests).
Those read from two independent lists, so a config that widened a different
binary while leaving compile_tests at the profile's tier satisfied both.

Reproduced before fixing, by replaying the old assertions against a mutated
config in which binary(compile_tests) keeps terminate-after = 5 and a new
binary(some_other_suite) override carries terminate-after = 10:

old: widest > base ? True (600 > 300)
old: filter in filters ? True
=> OLD TEST RESULT: PASS (vacuous)

The widened tier was real, the filter was real, and the tests this module
exists for were covered by neither — they would still have terminated at
300 s, which is the exact outcome the override was added to prevent
(compile_time_ui was killed at 300.134 s while still compiling on the gate
run of 2026-09-19).

The assertions now select the overrides carrying COMPILE_TEST_FILTER first
and compute the grade only from that subset, so an override that does not
carry the requested filter cannot vouch for one that does. The same mutation
now fails:

AssertionError: the override carrying filter 'binary(compile_tests)' grants
300 s, no more than the profile's 300 s, so it does not widen the tier the
`trybuild` tests need widened
assert 300 > 300

Finding 2 — termination_allowance_seconds() ignored override grace periods

Accepted, and genuinely new rather than a re-run of the point settled in
50807d37 — that commit fixed attribution (the 60 s floor is this
repository's, not nextest's 10 s default), while this is about scope.

The function read profile.default.slow-timeout.grace-period alone. An
override's slow-timeout replaces the profile's table for the tests its
filter matches rather than merging into it, so an override that declares a
grace period has replaced whatever the profile declared. Verified against
nextest itself rather than from the docs: an override giving
{ period = "1s", terminate-after = 2 } against the profile's 300 s
terminated the binary(compile_tests) tests at 2.014 s, and a bogus
grace-period on the override exits 96 naming
profile.default.overrides[0].slow-timeout.grace-period — so the override's
own fields are parsed and effective.

The old reader therefore understated the allowance exactly when an override
widened it. Mutation, adding grace-period = "1h" to the compile-test
override:

old reader saw: None -> allowance 60
override declared: ['1h']

The containment assertion then computed 1200 + 60 + 600 = 1860 <= 2700 and
passed, while the true worst case, 1200 + 3600 + 600 = 5400, exceeds the
2700 s watchdog by a factor of two. With the fix the same mutation fails
loudly:

AssertionError: the 2700 s RUN_RUST_CARGO_WAIT_TIMEOUT watchdog must cover
rust/.config/nextest.toml's 1200 s global-timeout, the 3600 s termination
allowance, and the 600 s cold-build allowance, 5400 s in all
assert 5400 <= 2700

docs/developers-guide.md already described this function as reading "the
largest configured slow-timeout.grace-period". The prose was right and the
implementation was not, so no documentation changed for this finding.

a652c97c — a guard, because the fix was otherwise unfalsifiable

The live configuration declares no grace period at all, so
termination_allowance_seconds() can only ever return the 60 s floor and a
reader reduced to the profile alone would return the same 60. The fix could
have been reverted with the whole suite still green. The reader is now driven
with synthetic configurations — the way lanes_in is driven with a synthetic
workflow — covering neither side configured, either side below the floor,
either side alone, and each side wider than the other. Restoring the
profile-only reader fails override-only and override-wider.

Gates

make check-fmt, make test, make typecheck, make lint and
make markdownlint are being re-run against the new head; CI will confirm.
The three timeout-contract modules pass locally (22 tests), and the new
module is collected by the normal repo-wide run.

@leynos Apply the addressed disposition.

The current checkout contains both corrections.

test_compile_test_timeout_tier.py now selects overrides with COMPILE_TEST_FILTER before it calculates the widened allowance.

termination_allowance_seconds() now evaluates grace-period values from the default profile and every slow-timeout override.

test_termination_allowance.py adds synthetic override-only and override-wider cases. These cases prevent a profile-only reader from passing when the live configuration has no grace period.

Learning: For Cuprum nextest timeout contracts, a `profile.default.overrides` entry that declares `slow-timeout` replaces the default profile's `slow-timeout` for tests matching its filter. Contract helpers that compute maximum timeout or grace-period allowances must evaluate both the default profile and every relevant `slow-timeout` override. Tests for a filter-specific timeout tier must calculate the allowance only from overrides carrying that exact filter.

Disposition: two rows accepted and fixed, one declined, one flagged for a human

@coderabbitai The pre-merge checks evaluated 8bbca1d8 and named four items.
Two were real and are fixed in 9a8f127e. The third is declined, with the
evidence for the decline below the argument. The fourth is a warning and is the
only item here I would rather a human overrule than settle myself.

Testing (Overall) — accepted, fixed

Real on both counts. _CHECK_TARGET was "test-rust" alone while the gate is
written twice — once in that recipe, once in DEV_FAST_TEST_COMMAND — and the
version cases stopped at valid input, empty input and the boundary release,
with no non-empty output the check cannot parse.

The route-level half is cuprum/unittests/test_nextest_route_floor.py. It
writes a stub cargo-nextest that answers the version probe and a stub cargo
that records the command the route would have run, then drives each target and
reads the recorded argv as well as the exit status. The argv matters because a
route that printed the refusal and then ran the suite anyway would drop the
whole-run budget exactly as an unguarded one does, and the status alone cannot
tell those two apart.

Five mutations, each caught:

Mutation	Tests failed
Drop the gate from DEV_FAST_TEST_COMMAND	1 — the dev-test route case
Drop the gate from test-rust	16
Make the awk program accept unparsable output	4
Move rust/.config/nextest.toml away	1
Lower the floor to 0.9.90	1

The first is the finding: the dev-test case is the only test in the suite that
fails when that call site loses its gate, so the route the old suite could not
see is now covered by exactly one test that exists for it.

The parsing half is _UNPARSABLE_PROBES in
cuprum/unittests/test_nextest_version_floor.py, parameterizing
test_the_check_refuses_output_it_cannot_parse over garbage,
cargo-nextest unknown, cargo-nextest, 0.9, v0.9.100 and
cargo-nextest 0.9.100-rc1 (abc 2026-01-01). All six expect exit 1.

Testing (Unit And Behavioural) — accepted in part, fixed

Accepted: there was no test that executed a Makefile route.
test_nextest_route_floor.py above covers the unsupported-release,
at-the-floor and missing-tool cases end to end, and both routes' environments
are asserted by the existing LOCAL_TOOL_ENV count in
test_nextest_version_floor.py.

Accepted: "verifies discovery of rust/.config/nextest.toml".
cuprum/unittests/test_nextest_config_discovery.py runs the real nextest and
reads the requirement it resolved back out of the report.

Declined, on yield: the suggestion to use the command that enumerates the tiers.
cargo nextest show-config test-groups builds the workspace — 58.66 s measured
here — while cargo nextest show-config version resolves the workspace and reads
the configuration without building, at 0.054 s. Both prove the same resolution,
and nextest's own show-config --help records the default it resolved through:

--config-file <PATH>
    Config file [default: workspace-root/.config/nextest.toml]

So the tier values stay with the file-reading contracts, which check them
cheaply and in detail, and the discovery claim — that this file is the one
nextest resolves — is what the new module proves against the real tool. The
module carries a control workspace declaring a 9.9.9 floor nextest must read
back, so a run that echoed the pinned constant fails rather than passes.

Unit Architecture — declined

Two of the three claims are contradicted by main; the third is a documented
design choice that the proposed injection would defeat.

The cached file-reading reader is the established pattern here, not one this
branch introduced. On origin/main, cuprum/unittests/_timeout_lane_support.py
already carries

@functools.cache
def _workflow(path: str) -> Workflow:
    parsed = yaml.safe_load((repo_root() / path).read_text(encoding="utf-8"))

— a zero-argument-keyed cache around a file read and parse, the same shape as
_nextest_config(). cuprum/unittests/_coverage_timeout_lane_support.py:208 is
the second instance this branch adds. A split into a pure parser plus an
injected reader would leave the repository with two idioms for one job, and the
one this PR would be adopting has no precedent in the tree.

cache_clear() in a fixture is likewise established, and on the same readers.
origin/main calls it in _pump_stream_dispatch_support.py:156-157,
test_backend.py:384,509-510, test_native_pump_executor_lifecycle.py:223-232
and test_pipeline_timeouts.py:203,256. A module-level cache whose tests clear
it is how this suite already handles parsed-fixture caching; it is not state this
branch introduced, and the finding's "externally mutable" reading is the
mechanism every one of those existing tests relies on.

The readers do fail explicitly. A missing file raises FileNotFoundError
naming the path, malformed TOML raises tomllib.TOMLDecodeError naming it too,
and each shape assertion carries a message naming the file and the table it
expected. What the finding asks for is a custom configuration-error type, and
there is no boundary for one to serve: cuprum/unittests/ is test support whose
only caller is the suite, so a domain exception would add a translation layer
between a test and the failure it is reading.

The injectable Cargo runner would make the test check the stub. This is the
one I want to be explicit about, because it is the reverse of the usual
trade-off. _resolved_test_targets() resolves target names through Cargo by
design, and the module says why:

Resolves through Cargo rather than reading the manifests, because the target
name is what binary() selects and Cargo is what defines it: a [[test]]
table may set name and path independently, and Cargo derives a name from
the file stem when they are absent. Reading the toml would reimplement that
derivation and could disagree with it.

The claim under test is "the binary(compile_tests) filter selects these
files", and that claim is about Cargo's derivation, not about this module's
parsing of it. Stub the runner and the test proves the module agrees with the
stub — while the real filter could select nothing. shutil.which plus
subprocess.run is how origin/main already resolves tools in
cuprum/unittests/: eight modules there do it, including test_toolchain_pins.py
and test_dev_fast_prerequisites.py.

Out of Scope Changes — declined, and flagged

This one is a scope judgement rather than a defect, so I am recording the
provenance and leaving the decision visible.

The Skylos material is branch-new text on a branch that was 34 commits long at
8bbca1d8, and it was not introduced as unrelated cleanup. It came from a
CodeRabbit finding on this PR: the should_terminate_others whitelist entry.
ae5e4527 recorded the liveness exception and the size ceiling; 6874dc03
dropped the suppression and recorded what it taught. main then reached the
same code conclusion
independently in #405, so the code half was dropped from this PR and taken from
main — which is what the Scope note in the description says.

What remains is the part main does not have, and it is load-bearing for this
issue's own deliverable rather than adjacent to it. The ceiling is why
docs/coverage-timeout-tiers.md exists at all: 3eec9017 moved 114 lines of
#373's timeout documentation out of docs/developers-guide.md because that file
had crossed Skylos's silent 300000-byte limit, past which it is skipped entirely
and every symbol it documents loses liveness credit at once. The guide is still
over the ceiling at HEAD (344386 bytes) as it is on main (355628), so the
condition is live rather than historical. Without the addendum recording it, the
next contributor has every reason to fold the timeout material back into the
guide and silently withdraw that credit again — which is the same failure the
SKY-U001 in the finding came from.

If you would rather it move to its own PR, say so and I will split it: the
ceiling paragraph and the guide pointer come out together, since the pointer
cites the addendum by name.

Not a review item, recorded because it affected the evidence

One gate result changed shape while these fixes were being made, and it is worth
naming so it is not read as a branch claim. This worktree's .venv was a PyPy
3.12.14 environment, in which crosshair-tool cannot build — its _tracers.c
#include <opcode.h> resolves only against a CPython install — so make build
failed, and make typecheck and make test aborted in that prerequisite
without running. The venv is gitignored, carries no installed packages, and is
recreated by uv venv --clear, so this was disposable build state rather than
anything the diff can produce or that the diff could fix. It is now CPython
3.14.4 and the Python batches run. Nothing in the PR depends on that; it is
noted only because the earlier gate cycle had no Python-batch evidence at all.

@leynos, accept the two testing fixes on source inspection. The route tests drive both test-rust and dev-test. They check that a below-floor release stops before Cargo runs nextest. The version-floor tests reject six unparsable outputs. The discovery test asks nextest for the resolved requirement and checks its reading with a 9.9.9 control workspace. I did not run these tests; the discovery tests skip when cargo-nextest is absent.

Withdraw the Unit Architecture recommendation. origin/main already uses a cached file reader and cache_clear() in tests. Keep Cargo metadata in the compile-test contract: Cargo, not a stubbed runner, determines the target names selected by binary(compile_tests).

Keep the Skylos documentation with this PR. The separate timeout guide serves the timeout work, and the developers’ guide remains above the documented 300,000-byte limit. Leave the final scope decision to the human reviewer; I do not request a split.

Your earlier guidance about nextest’s workspace-root configuration path is consistent with the discovery test. The reported PyPy environment failure is not evidence of a PR defect, but it also does not establish a passing gate run.

Thanks for the detailed evidence.

Learning: In `leynos/cuprum`, `cuprum/unittests/test_compile_test_timeout_tier.py` uses `cargo metadata --no-deps` to verify the Cargo test-target names selected by the nextest `binary(compile_tests)` filter. Cargo can derive a test-target name from a source filename or use an explicit `[[test]]` name and path; a stubbed Cargo response would not verify the real filter-to-source relationship.

Learning: In `leynos/cuprum`, the pinned Skylos release silently skips documentation files larger than 300,000 bytes when collecting documentation-liveness evidence for `SKY-U001`. `docs/developers-guide.md` exceeds that limit, so PR `#426` places coverage-timeout documentation in `docs/coverage-timeout-tiers.md` and records the reason in `docs/adr-003-two-tier-python-linting.md`.

Learning: In Cuprum, the `binary(compile_tests)` nextest override in `rust/.config/nextest.toml` applies to `compile_time_ui` because that test is defined in `rust/cuprum-rust/tests/compile_tests.rs`. The timings recorded in `docs/coverage-timeout-tiers.md` are all `compile_tests` cases; none measures a test that uses the default profile's 300-second per-test allowance. Do not cite those timings as measurements of profile-resident tests.

@leynos, treat these three findings as closed at 9a8f127e:

Finding	Disposition
Testing (Overall)	Fixed. Route tests cover both test-rust and dev-test. Version-floor tests reject six non-empty, unparsable outputs.
Testing (Unit And Behavioural)	Fixed. Stubbed-tool tests drive the Makefile routes, and a real-nextest test checks configuration discovery.
Unit Architecture	Withdrawn, not refactored. The cached file reader remains. The earlier recommendation did not account for the repository’s established test-support pattern.

The PR reports success for CodeRabbit and the applicable CI checks at this head. I did not run the tests locally. No further work is required for these three findings, so there is no remaining-work prompt or out-of-scope issue to propose.

Thanks for the guidance on warnings and scope.
