Summary

Refreshes the per-file duration tables that balance the hosted test shards (#6982). Windows gets its own table, because no single table balanced all three platforms.

Problem. scripts/ci/test-durations.tsv was generated once from Linux run 35816902207 (2026-09-23). The suite now has 2,242 files, and 684 of them had no row, so each weighed the 157 ms median. Every shard printed the same prediction while the measured test time diverged. In the reference run below, Linux shards measured 452–572 s, macOS 745–816 s and Windows 838–1279 s (each Windows shard was predicted at 151–152 s).

Source data. Green dev lane=all run 38250055508 at dc45bb2ca9, which is also this PR's base. All 16 suite shards succeeded: Linux test 1/4–4/4, macos 1/3–3/3, windows 1/9–9/9. Both tables were written by the existing bun scripts/ci/test-durations.ts refresh --source ... <job-log>... from those job logs; nothing was hand-edited.

Table Logs Rows (before → after) Re-measured / new / dropped Fallback median for files without a row
test-durations.tsv (Linux, macOS) 4 Linux + 3 macOS shards 1,558 → 2,242 1,558 / 684 / 0 157 ms → 185 ms
test-durations.windows.tsv (new) 9 Windows shards — → 2,242 — / 2,242 / — 428 ms

Files measured on several platforms record the mean of their samples, as the tool already did. The median fallback still applies to any file added after this refresh and is printed in each shard's log.

Why two tables. I first fed all three platforms' logs into one table, which is the tool's normal path. Windows per-file cost is not a constant multiple of Linux or macOS cost: across the suite it averages about 4.7× Linux, and the ratio varies widely by file. A single table refreshed from all 16 logs made Linux worse than the stale table in all three evaluations and macOS worse in two of three (1 s better in the third). A Linux+macOS table left Windows worse in two of three. Estimated maximum shard time, in seconds (this run / out-of-sample run 38214884055 / out-of-sample run 38162375606):

Platform Stale table Linux+macOS table Platform's own table All three averaged into one table
Linux 4 shards 572 / 551 / 550 526 / 509 / 530 518 / 514 / 534 588 / 570 / 590
macOS 3 shards 816 / 752 / 635 793 / 686 / 616 792 / 690 / 630 839 / 751 / 665
Windows 9 shards 1279 / 1444 / 1337 1631 / 1344 / 1462 1083 / 1185 / 1201 1164 / 1236 / 1187

The bold columns are what this PR ships. Linux and macOS share the Linux+macOS table, which matches each platform's own optimum within noise. Windows uses its own table. Spread between the fastest and slowest shard under the shipped tables:

Platform Stale table (min–max) Shipped table (min–max)
Linux 4 shards 452–572 / 403–551 / 472–550 513–526 / 492–509 / 509–530
macOS 3 shards 745–816 / 597–752 / 577–635 792–793 / 681–686 / 600–616
Windows 9 shards 838–1279 / 970–1444 / 654–1337 1083–1083 / 1054–1185 / 1008–1201

These are estimates. For each platform the files were assigned to shards with the same greedy algorithm and tie order as run-bun-test-batches.sh; each shard's time is then the sum of that platform's measured per-file seconds. Process start is charged to the first file of each batch, as the tool does. Checked against reality, the estimator reproduces this run's observed shard sums exactly under the stale table. The in-sample column (this run) is optimistic by construction, which is why two earlier full runs are included. Bun process counts, taken from the real runner including serial-file singletons, are essentially unchanged: Linux 217 → 219, macOS 225 → 225, Windows 412 → 410. The acceptance evidence is the exact-head full dispatch of this PR, listed under Verification.

Changes.

  • scripts/ci/test-durations.tsv regenerated; scripts/ci/test-durations.windows.tsv added.
  • scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh: defaults to the Windows table when RUNNER_OS is Windows and the file exists. BUN_TEST_DURATIONS_FILE still overrides both. The prediction line now names the table it read, e.g. Predicted shard time from recorded durations (test-durations.windows.tsv): 1083s. Balancing, batching and coverage checks are unchanged.
  • scripts/ci/test-durations.ts:
    • Windows group headers print tests\a\b.test.ts:, which the parser skipped entirely (zero Windows rows). Backslash paths are now read and stored with forward slashes.
    • New --table <tsv> option for writing the Windows table.
    • The usage header documents the two-table, one-job-at-a-time refresh. gh run view --log refuses a run this large.
  • tests/ci-workflows/ci-crash-disposition.test.ts: the fixture now pins its own durations. Its 1 s cases have a 500 ms batch budget that depended on the committed table's median: three files at 157 ms fit, at 185 ms they did not.
  • structure/ops/cross-platform-ci.md and structure/ops/docs-and-release.md describe the Windows table.
  • No workflow file changed: no permissions, action refs or job settings were touched. run-bun-test-batches.sh is on the Windows-sensitive path list, so this PR's own CI also runs the nine Windows shards.

Closes #6982

Verification

  • bun test ./tests/ci-workflows/ci-shard-balance.test.ts: 14 pass / 0 fail. New cases cover backslash Windows headers, refresh --table leaving the shared table untouched, Windows/Linux/macOS default table selection with the explicit override still winning, and both committed tables being well formed.
  • Mutation checks:
    • the Windows-header case fails on the old parser;
    • the selection case fails with the RUNNER_OS branch disabled.
  • ci-crash-disposition.test.ts passes 26 / 26 with both the old and the new committed tables.
  • All runner, workflow-contract and gate files: bun test over ci-shard-balance, ci-bun-crash-classifier, install-scripts, ci-scope-gaps, ci-crash-disposition, zz-ci-api-usage-isolation, ci-workflows, zz-ci-storage-policy-isolation, macos-serial-lanes, structure-ssot, file-size-ratchet, repo-hygiene and test-layout: 336 pass / 0 fail across 13 files.
  • Real-script dry run over the real suite, with a fake bun that records batches:
    • Linux 4 shards, general scope: 2,235 files, each exactly once; predicted 555 s per shard.
    • macOS 3 shards, all scope: 2,242 files, each exactly once; predicted 743 s per shard.
    • Windows 9 shards (RUNNER_OS=Windows, batch size 6, 480 s timeout): 2,242 files, each exactly once; predicted 1,083 s per shard, read from test-durations.windows.tsv.
  • bun run typecheck: exit 0. bun run structure:check: passed.
  • Full bun run test was not run locally. The change is CI tooling and data; every test that spawns or reads the batch runner or the tables ran above, and several worktrees share this machine. Hosted CI runs the whole suite on all three platforms.
  • Hosted acceptance on this exact head: pull_request run https://github.com/lidge-jun/opencodex/actions/runs/38254923548 and lane=all dispatch https://github.com/lidge-jun/opencodex/actions/runs/38254957359 (Linux 4, macOS 3, Windows 9 with the new membership). Its measured per-shard times will be compared with the estimates above in a follow-up comment.
  • Independent review (GPT-6.1-Sol high, a different model family from the Claude builder): plan audit round 1 asked for the Windows parser fix and per-platform coverage counts, both folded; round 2 NEAR-PASS with no blockers.
    • Code review round 1 on 682db5c2a2: NEAR-PASS with no code blockers. The reviewer regenerated both tables byte-for-byte in an external copy (coverage Linux 2,235, macOS 2,242, Windows 2,242), confirmed the real-script assignment order and the RUNNER_OS selection, and judged the two-table design justified. It corrected two numbers in this description: process counts (now from the real runner) and the all-logs comparison column (my earlier candidate had double-counted one Windows log). Both are fixed above, and the corrected figures still support the design.
    • Code review round 2 on exact head 682db5c2a250b192821a1684de76410091c3d14b: PASS, no blockers. The reviewer independently confirmed the corrected process counts and the all-logs column across all three evaluations, the byte-identical tables, and coverage (every file runs exactly once). Its two wording notes are folded above.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. (structure/ ops docs and the tool's usage header.)
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. (No workflow, permission, credential or dependency changes.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • CI test batches now use platform-specific timing data for Windows, while Linux and macOS continue to share timing data.
    • Windows test paths are handled consistently when recording timings. Timing refreshes can target a specific platform table.
    • When Windows timing data is unavailable, tests continue to be assigned round-robin. CI logs identify the timing data source used, or report when none is available.

…ws its own table (#6982)

The shard duration table came from one Linux run three weeks ago. 684 of the
2,242 suite files had no row and weighed the 157 ms median, so every platform's
shards drifted apart: Linux 452-572 s, macOS 745-816 s and Windows 838-1279 s
of measured test time in dev run 38250055508, against a uniform prediction.

Both tables are now regenerated with scripts/ci/test-durations.ts refresh from
that green lane=all run (dev dc45bb2). Linux and macOS keep sharing
scripts/ci/test-durations.tsv, refreshed from their seven shard logs. Windows
gets scripts/ci/test-durations.windows.tsv from its nine shard logs, selected by
run-bun-test-batches.sh when RUNNER_OS is Windows (BUN_TEST_DURATIONS_FILE still
overrides). Windows per-file cost is not a constant multiple of the other two:
averaging all three platforms into one table made the Linux and macOS estimates
worse than the stale table, and no single table balanced all three.

The refresh tool now reads Windows group headers, which print backslash paths
it previously skipped, and takes --table to write the Windows table. The
crash-disposition fixture pins its own durations so its 500 ms batch budget no
longer moves with the committed table's median.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CI test sharding now selects duration tables by runner platform, while allowing an environment override. The refresh tool can target a named table and normalizes Windows log paths. Tests cover platform selection, refresh output, path normalization, and committed table formats.

Changes

Platform-specific CI duration tables

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parse and refresh duration tables
scripts/ci/test-durations.ts, tests/ci-workflows/ci-shard-balance.test.ts, structure/ops/cross-platform-ci.md
The refresh tool accepts --table, parses Windows paths with either separator, and writes measurements to the selected table. The cross-platform CI documentation describes platform-specific tables and refresh commands. Tests cover Windows path normalization and named-table refresh.
Select tables for CI runners
scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh, structure/ops/docs-and-release.md, tests/ci-workflows/ci-crash-disposition.test.ts, tests/ci-workflows/ci-shard-balance.test.ts
The runner selects the Windows table when RUNNER_OS is Windows and the file exists. Otherwise, it uses the shared table unless BUN_TEST_DURATIONS_FILE overrides the choice. The predicted-time log names the selected table or reports “no duration table.” Tests cover runner selection, fixture weights, and both committed table formats.

A malformed Windows refresh command can overwrite shared duration estimates and worsen Linux and macOS shard balancing. The risk is limited to that operator error and is recoverable by regenerating the table.

Reject --table without a path.

If an operator runs refresh --source windows windows.log --table, rest[++index] is undefined. The fallback keeps DURATIONS_TABLE, so the command can replace shared-table measurements with Windows measurements instead of reporting an invalid command. Reject a missing operand and an operand that starts with - before resolving the path. Based on learnings, a CLI parser must distinguish an absent flag from a flag with a missing or invalid operand.

Reviewed the parser/selection delta at 682db5c2a2: Windows backslash group paths normalize to the existing forward-slash keys, explicit BUN_TEST_DURATIONS_FILE still wins, and the absence of the Windows table falls back to the shared table. Membership/batch assignment is otherwise unchanged. The new cases exercise the real shell runner with a fake Bun; that proves routing/coverage mechanics, not platform performance.

I independently verified source run 38250055508 is successful at dev dc45bb2ca9. I have not regenerated the two TSVs byte-for-byte or independently recomputed the timing estimates. Exact-head full dispatch 38254957359 is still queued at this observation, so measured acceptance remains pending. PR-event run 38254923548 has the Windows cleanup failure tracked in #7000; I opened Draft #7001 for the existing fixture-owner cleanup contract, not for retries or timing inflation. Keep that failure visible and requalify the resulting exact candidate rather than presenting estimates or a future dispatch as a green Windows lane. No manual scan/CI execution or approval.

…ws its own table (#6982) (#6994)

Squashed from #6994 for the 2.84.0 release train.

Refreshes the per-file duration tables that balance the hosted test shards (#6982). Windows gets its own table, because no single table balanced all three platforms.
**Problem.** `scripts/ci/test-durations.tsv` was generated once from Linux run 35816902207 (2026-09-23). The suite now has 2,242 files, and 684 of them had no row, so each weighed the 157 ms median. Every shard printed the same prediction while the measured test time diverged. In the reference run below, Linux shards measured 452–572 s, macOS 745–816 s and Windows 838–1279 s (each Windows shard was predicted at 151–152 s).
**Source data.** Green dev `lane=all` run [38250055508](https://github.com/lidge-jun/opencodex/actions/runs/38250055508) at `dc45bb2ca9`, which is also this PR's base. All 16 suite shards succeeded: Linux `test 1/4`–`4/4`, `macos 1/3`–`3/3`, `windows 1/9`–`9/9`. Both tables were written by the existing `bun scripts/ci/test-durations.ts refresh --source ... <job-log>...` from those job logs; nothing was hand-edited.
| Table | Logs | Rows (before → after) | Re-measured / new / dropped | Fallback median for files without a row |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `test-durations.tsv` (Linux, macOS) | 4 Linux + 3 macOS shards | 1,558 → 2,242 | 1,558 / 684 / 0 | 157 ms → 185 ms |
| `test-durations.windows.tsv` (new) | 9 Windows shards | — → 2,242 | — / 2,242 / — | 428 ms |
Files measured on several platforms record the mean of their samples, as the tool already did. The median fallback still applies to any file added after this refresh and is printed in each shard's log.
**Why two tables.** I first fed all three platforms' logs into one table, which is the tool's normal path. Windows per-file cost is not a constant multiple of Linux or macOS cost: across the suite it averages about 4.7× Linux, and the ratio varies widely by file. A single table refreshed from all 16 logs made Linux worse than the stale table in all three evaluations and macOS worse in two of three (1 s better in the third). A Linux+macOS table left Windows worse in two of three. Estimated maximum shard time, in seconds (this run / out-of-sample run 38214884055 / out-of-sample run 38162375606):
| Platform | Stale table | Linux+macOS table | Platform's own table | All three averaged into one table |
