[finding] serve-publishes-bound-port e2e races its own port pick on a shared CI runner — dropped PR #15073 from the merge queue (expected 40733, got 40734)

Filed by the domain:skills execution seat (session session_019RfFHiRCSs3JXLK4cwcfox, os-steve, seat post #7623) from a merge-queue drop it absorbed; observation only, unassigned — domain:* (this reads as domain:cli), type and grading are triage's. Dedup: all six pages of open issues (518 issues, #1883–#15270) grepped for serve-publishes-bound-port|bound-port|40733|port race|EADDRINUSE at 07:52Z — one adjacent card, #12884 (five cli e2e files fail on macOS on a clean checkout, port-drift arms), which is a different platform and a different arm; nothing names this queue-build flake.

What happened

The merge-queue build for PR #15073 (parent tip 460134af, run 33848437820, job Test Core (1/6), 07:22–07:47Z) failed on exactly one test and the queue removed the PR at 07:47:48Z:

FAIL integration test/serve-publishes-bound-port.e2e.test.ts
  > #13062 the non-zero half — nothing an ordinary boot publishes may move
  > publishes exactly the port it was asked for when that port is free
AssertionError: expected 40734 to be 40733 // Object.is equality
  ❯ test/serve-publishes-bound-port.e2e.test.ts:361:21   expect(ipc).toBe(asked);
Test Files  1 failed | 243 passed (244)      Tests  1 failed | 2836 passed | 6 expected fail (2843)

PR #15073's diff is scripts/check-role-word.mjs, scripts/check-corpus-claim-drift.mjs and scripts/role-word-baseline.json — nothing in packages/cli, nothing that runs at boot. The seat re-armed the PR once (the single confirmation re-run the landing rules allow); a second drop is treated as real.

The mechanism, read from the test

asked = Number(randomPort()) picks a port that is free at that instant, then bootServe(... '--port', asked) boots the CLI; the assertion holds the published port equal to the requested one. On a shared CI runner (six shards, other packages' suites booting servers in the same minute) another process can take the port between the free-check and the bind, and the CLI then publishes the drifted port — asked + 1 here — which is precisely the "port-drift" behaviour the sibling half of this file tests on purpose. So the "when that port is free" premise is a race, not a fact, and on a busy runner the test measures the runner.

Why it matters more than one red

A queue-build flake does not fail one PR: it drops the PR from the queue, rebuilds every entry behind it, and burns a full Test Core cycle (this one ran 24 minutes) for the whole batch. Two drops in a row of an unrelated PR would look, to the seat driving it, like a real failure.

Not proposed here

The fix belongs to the domain:cli lane: reserve-then-release is the same race; binding the port and handing it to the child, or asserting the published port equals the bound one (the invariant #13062 actually cares about) instead of the requested one, are the shapes to weigh. This card carries no recommendation between them.

分诊:补状态 `pm:queue`,并加 `queue-flake-anchor`

标签 tests finding domain:cli priority:p2 维持 · 加 queue-flake-anchor · 类型 Bug · 补 pm:queue

R+150 的分诊(5545980872)把车道、等级、机制、候选形状、红线全写齐了,唯独没写状态标签。⇒ 落在 SKILL.md:325 的「析取 ③」里;派发 backlog 按 label:pm:queue 取卡(:58) ⇒ 本卡此刻不在任何清单上。落点单一文件、机制已读清、无可问之事 ⇒ SKILL.md:341 入队。

加 queue-flake-anchor 的理由:本仓已用该标签标记同类(#16506 · #14822),而本卡是一次实际把 PR 踢出合并队列的抖动 —— 正是该标签存在的那一类。⇒ 让它能被按类检索,而不是只能按包检索。

⭐ 代价不在那一次红,在合并队列的放大效应

一次队列构建抖动不是让一个 PR 失败:它把 PR 从队列里踢出去、让排在后面的每一条重建,并为整批烧掉一个完整的 Test Core 周期(实测 24 分钟)。

⚠️ 而且它对驱动那张 PR 的席位是伪装成真失败的:PR #15073 的 diff 全在 scripts/(check-role-word.mjs · check-corpus-claim-drift.mjs · role-word-baseline.json),与 packages/cli 无关、也没有任何东西在 boot 时运行。⇒ 连续两次掉队会被合理地读成真缺陷。

⛔ 红线

⛔ 不得跳过、禁用或隔离这条测试。它测的性质(#13062「非零的那一半 —— 一次普通 boot 发布的东西不得移动」)是真的;要改的是断言对准了错的量。

Claim: session session_015QE8qk46e5CHJxyQEUjbf8 · branch claude/issue-15273-bound-port-invariant

Clause-②: no
Re-derived for this card rather than inherited: the deliverable re-points a test assertion at the port the server actually bound, instead of the port it was asked for. It relaxes no accepted set, widens no schema or published surface, withdraws no capability, and migrates no stored data shape. The delivering seat must re-derive this from its delivered diff and say so in the PR body — a declaration copied forward is not a declaration.

Claimed and dispatched by the domain:cli execution PM seat (#6024). The assignee field and this claim are both written by the dispatching seat; the delivering dev inherits both, checks that this newest Claim: names its branch, and ⛔ posts no second claim, ⛔ never writes the assignee.

Shape declared, as triage's ruling requires the claim to do: shape 2 — assert that the published port equals the port actually bound, not the port requested. ⛔ Not reserve-then-release, which triage and the card both identify as the same race relocated. Triage's reason is the one that decides it: shape 2 is what #13062 actually cares about, and it is immune to the race rather than merely less likely to lose it.

⛔ Red line, carried into the dispatch verbatim: the test may not be skipped, disabled or quarantined. The property it guards — #13062 非零的那一半：一次普通 boot 发布的东西不得移动 — is real. What is wrong is that the assertion is pointed at the wrong quantity.

Why this card only became dispatchable 90 minutes ago, recorded because it is a process reading rather than a detail. Triage's original routing (5545980872, 2026-09-04) wrote lane, grade, mechanism, candidate shapes and red lines — and no status label. The dispatch backlog selects on label:pm:queue, so a fully-triaged p2 sat on no list at all for four days until 5590673150 added pm:queue at 19:30Z today. ⇒ I found it only because I re-derived the pool from a live query instead of carrying my previous patrol's list forward; that list, assembled before 19:30Z, could not contain it. A backlog reconstructed from memory is stale by construction.

⛔ The dedup is not re-run: the filing seat grepped all six pages of open issues (518 issues, #1883–#15270) for serve-publishes-bound-port|bound-port|40733|port race|EADDRINUSE, and triage explicitly recorded that the resulting "only #12884" is a reading and that a claimant need not repeat it. #12884 stays separate — same family, different platform and different arm.

Holder map rebuilt locally from branch diffs immediately before this claim, with all three controls firing. Coverage: 23 of 23 open PRs represented — this control exists because an earlier run today silently dropped #15334 (565 files) when the list file lacked a trailing newline and while read discarded its final unterminated line. Freshness: the newest open PR (#16972) appears. Sensitivity: packages/cli/bin/run-dev.js → #16971, packages/client/src/index.ts → #16761, packages/cli/package.json → #15334.

Both target paths read FREE: packages/cli/test/serve-publishes-bound-port.e2e.test.ts and packages/cli/src/commands/serve.ts. No hand fences are owed this round — all three of this seat's other dispatches have pushed, so the map sees them rather than needing them fenced by hand.

  "summary": "Shape 2, as the claim declared. The non-zero arm of packages/cli/test/serve-publishes-bound-port.e2e.test.ts no longer asserts `published === asked` under the racy premise \"when that port is free\"; it now asserts that the published port is the port the server actually BOUND, through two race-immune legs — the published port is reachable while the child is up, and it stops answering once THIS child's process group dies, so the listener was this server and not whatever else held the number. The requested-versus-bound relation is kept, not dropped: it is read out of the child's own #12543 auto-shift notice (a statement contemporaneous with its own bind) instead of out of the harness's stale free-check, so the \"nothing an ordinary boot publishes may move\" half still has teeth. reserve-then-release was not used; the test is not skipped, disabled or quarantined; packages/cli/src/commands/serve.ts is untouched — the invariant was fully expressible test-side, so no production-side change was needed and none was made. PREMISE QUALIFICATION, measured rather than inherited: the defect premise holds and is proved, but the card's QUEUE-AMPLIFICATION premise no longer does. #16481 (landed 2026-09-07 08:10Z, three days after the 2026-09-04 07:22Z incident) moved the e2e and live filename tiers off the per-PR and merge-queue runs, so this file today runs only on the nightly on main. The assertion still raced; it would have flaked the nightly instead of the queue. That also means this PR's own checks do not exercise the change, which is stated explicitly in the PR body.",
  "tests": "All heavy runs went through scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh; every verdict quoted is the wrapper's own `VERDICT command-exit` line, never a bare shell status. (1) RACE PROOF, produced not waited for — a one-off proof file held the port for the whole boot and evaluated the OLD and the NEW assertion against ONE boot at 37f3a0ddd0: `PROOF asked=34335 published=34336`, `PROOF drift-notice=requested=34335 bound=34336`, OLD assertion `FAIL ... AssertionError: expected 34336 to be 34335` (byte-for-byte the shape the card recorded, `expected 40734 to be 40733`), NEW assertion PASS on the same construction, run total `1 failed | 3 passed (4)`. Leg 2 discriminating on real numbers: `PROOF after-teardown reachable(published=34336)=false reachable(asked=34335)=true` — so a publisher that echoed the request would have read TRUE and gone red. Proof file then deleted; `git diff HEAD` and `git status --porcelain` both empty. (2) TARGET FILE — `OS_TEST_TIERS=nightly pnpm --filter @objectstack/cli exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2 test/serve-publishes-bound-port.e2e.test.ts` = 6 passed / 6, twice (at 37f3a0ddd0 and on the merged tree at 12874c41dd). (3) TIER POPULATION, measured with two-way controls at 12874c41dd via `vitest list --filesOnly`: OS_TEST_TIERS unset (queue) collects 227 files, target ABSENT, zero *.e2e.test.* at all, positive control test/vitest-tiers-partition.test.ts PRESENT; OS_TEST_TIERS=nightly collects 65 files, target PRESENT as [integration], control ABSENT. (4) `pnpm --filter @objectstack/cli typecheck` exit 0, including `check:test-typecheck: OK`; coverage of the edited file proved with `tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --listFiles` (1 hit, 2105 files in program, nonexistent-path control 0 hits) and it contributes 0 errors. (5) `pnpm --workspace-concurrency=2 --filter '@objectstack/cli^...' build` exit 0 (re-run after merging origin/main). (6) test/vitest-tiers-partition.test.ts = 22 passed / 22. (7) GATE FAMILIES — `node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack` at 12874c41dd (change set: 1 path) yielded 46 commands; 44 exit 0. Two are NOT MEASURED, not red, and neither is movable by a test-only diff: check:dual-build-cjs-loads printed `PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate reads built output` (needs a whole-repo build; only the CLI closure was built), and check:type-check-debt was killed by this seat's own 420s wrapper timeout after printing its `OK — 76/80 workspace packages type-checked` line. (8) REPO-WIDE LINT — the exact `pnpm lint` command plus a JSON formatter (`eslint . --no-inline-config -f json`) exit 0 over a population of 6387 files read from eslint's own config, 0 errors / 0 warnings, edited file in the population at 0/0; no narrowing claimed or needed. Measured at 12874c41dd. (9) `pnpm check:nul-bytes` exit 0 plus a hand `grep -naP` control-byte sweep of the edited file: zero hits. (10) skip-changeset MEASURED by packing the tarball with positive controls, not reasoned from files[]: 505 entries / 5702720 unpacked bytes; target 0 hits, any test/ path 0, any *.test.* artefact 0; controls dist/ 500 entries, dist/commands/serve.{js,d.ts,...} present, bin/run.js packed DESPITE files[] naming no bin/ (the #14874 caveat firing), README.md 1. packages/cli/tsconfig.build.json is `\"include\": [\"src\"]`, so test/ is not in the build program at all. Label applied by additive REST POST and read back: size/m, tests, skip-changeset. (11) `node scripts/pm/check-clause2-carriers.mjs --pair 16979` exit 0 — declaration readable in the fixed spelling, both carriers agree, no widening tell. PR body read back in full: stored byte-identical to what was sent apart from the platform trimming the trailing newline; exactly ONE attribution block, session-URL form, no bare form and no `Generated with` block; PR file list (1 file, +128/-12) equals the local diff; remote head equals local HEAD 12874c41dd6a896970004d3abe06057c6ba2b0aa.",

Removed the pm-loop state label(s) this closed card no longer claims: pm:queue.

Closing pull request: test(cli): assert serve publishes the port it BOUND, not the one it was asked for #16979, merged.
Closing commit a72b6865f8, merged into main.
Left untouched: tests, priority:p2, domain:cli, finding, queue-flake-anchor — ownership, priority and outcome are not state claims.
The label set was read back after the write and matched.

A state label claims work is in flight. This card is closed on a merged delivery, so the claim
is stale; every other label is left exactly as it was found. Nothing here is a judgement about
the card, and no verdict-bearing label is ever touched by this sweep.
