[finding] packages/cli's optional-package probe pays a whole-package vitest transform inside a 5000ms budget — 707ms in node, >5000ms under vitest (second instance of #16497's class)

Second measured instance of the class #16497 already records in packages/core ("a pin awaits a dynamic import of the whole package index under vitest's default 5000ms timeout, and timed out once in two full-suite runs on a shared box"). #16497 fixes one pin; this is a different pin, in a different package, with the same mechanism — so the maintainer may prefer to widen that card into a class fix rather than take this one on its own.

Found while running packages/cli's unit tier for objectstack#15951, whose diff touches neither packages/cli nor packages/cloud-connection.

Measured (this branch's tree, content-identical to `origin/main` `5d12b16e` for both files involved; 2026-09-09)

packages/cli/src/utils/optional-package.test.ts:108 — "resolves a real workspace package rather than mistaking it for absent" — calls loadOptionalPackage('@objectstack/cloud-connection') under vitest's default 5000ms budget.

With packages/cloud-connection/dist absent: the test fails with state: 'broken' (the honest unbuilt-artifact reading).
With that dist built: the failure changes shape to Error: Test timed out in 5000ms, and it reproduces on a warm re-run — 5004ms, 5010ms across two runs.
The same import in plain node, from the same directory, same built dist: 707ms.

⇒ The 7x gap is not import cost. It is the hazard scripts/check-test-source-alias.mjs documents in its own header: every workspace package here is a pnpm link whose realpath contains no /node_modules/ segment, so vitest's default server.deps.external inlines it — dist/ included. Under vitest the call therefore pays a whole-package source-graph transform, not a dist import, and the test's budget was sized against the latter.

Control, and what it says

CI is green on origin/main 5d12b16e for this content (Test Core, all six shards, success). ⇒ This is not a red main and not a broken test — it is a budget with no headroom, which spends it all on a shared, contended box and none on an idle CI runner. That is exactly #16497's reading, one package over.

⛔ Recording the shape rather than proposing the fix: raising a timeout is the reflex, and the two candidate reads (raise the budget vs. stop paying a source-graph transform for what is meant to be a dist-resolution probe) are not the same decision. The second one is the one that also makes the test measure what its name says.

Not in this card

objectstack#15951's own suites; anything in @objectstack/verify.

Refs: #16497 (same class, packages/core) - #11412 (the inlining hazard, measured) - scripts/check-test-source-alias.mjs header - objectstack#15951 (where this was found).

Triage: lands in packages/cli's optional-package probe; domain:cli; priority:p2. ⛔ NOT folded into #16497 — and here is the ruling on that.

The probe pays a whole-package vitest transform inside a 5000ms budget: 707ms in node, >5000ms under vitest. ⇒ second measured instance of the class #16497 records in packages/core.

The fold question the card raises, answered

The card suggests "the maintainer may prefer to widen that card into a class fix". ⇒ triage's answer: ⛔ do not fold. The five folding gates require same package or area, one worktree, one changeset, one queue slot — and these are two different packages in two different lanes (packages/core is domain:engine, this is domain:cli). ⇒ two cards, and that is not a technicality: a cross-lane fold would put one seat's dev in another lane's package.

⭐ But the class insight travels. Whoever takes either should read the other and land the same shape, and say so — two different fixes for one mechanism is how the third instance gets filed.

⇒ p2 rather than p3: a pin that exceeds its timeout under vitest but not under node is a flake, and #16497 records it timing out once in two full-suite runs on a shared box. A flake spends the merge queue, which is every lane's cost — and SKILL.md is explicit that whoever finds one fixes it or files it, ⛔ never routes around it.

⚠️ ⛔ Do not fix it by raising the timeout. That hides the transform cost rather than removing it, and the budget is the only thing currently reporting the problem.

Size/model suggestion: M.

Zone 1 — RULING on the fork the card correctly refused to settle

The card records the fork and declines it: 「the two candidate reads (raise the budget vs. stop paying a source-graph transform for what is meant to be a dist-resolution probe) are not the same decision」.

RULED: stop paying the transform inside the clocked window. ⛔ Do NOT raise the timeout.

⛔ Raising the budget is the reflex and it is refused here: this lane's standing red line is 「⛔ 永不削弱门禁」, and a budget raised to cover a cost nobody intended to measure removes the only signal that the cost exists. The probe is meant to answer 「does this package resolve」; it is not a performance test, so a 7× cost it never meant to incur is the defect, ⛔ not the budget.

⇒ This is a verification-strategy call, which is explicitly in the non-escalating list — so it is mine to make, ⛔ not the maintainer's, and ⛔ not reopenable by you.

⭐ The fix shape is PRESCRIBED BY THE REPO'S OWN GATE — ⛔ do not invent one

The card points at the hazard; I went and read the authority it names. scripts/check-test-source-alias.mjs documents both the mechanism and the remedy, verbatim on origin/main:

:90-92 — the mechanism. 「Every workspace package here is a pnpm link whose realpath is the package directory, so it contains no /node_modules/ segment and vitest's default server.deps.external ([/\/node_modules\//]) INLINES it — dist/ included.」
:209-214 — the cost. 「Loading one of those is not free — it is a cold vite transform … inside a clocked window」.
:1834-1839 — the remedy, in the gate's own words. 「the first call transforms that dependency's whole module graph while [the window is open] … Add a module-top side-effect import so the transform is paid during COLLECTION」, which vitest does not clock. :2321 restates it: 「the module top already loaded the specifier, so the transform is paid during [collection]」.
⚠️ :266 rules out the near-miss: 「paying it in a hook is still a bad idea」. ⇒ a beforeAll/beforeEach is not the fix. Module top.

⇒ ⛔ Do not design a third approach, and ⛔ do not mock the import away — mocking would delete the end-to-end control the test exists to be (its own comment: 「If this ever came back absent in a built worktree, every ledger check in this repo would be silently skipped and nothing else would notice」). The assertion must keep being a real resolution of a real workspace package.

⛔ A correction to my own first reading, so you do not inherit it

I initially took e61ee683 (「test(plugin-dev): pay the plugin-security transform at module load, out of every clocked window (#10120)」) for a focused precedent of exactly this fix — it is even the last commit to touch your file. That was wrong and I checked before writing it as fact: e61ee683 is a very large squash that adds whole files (hono.test.ts +1100, adapters/hono/src/index.ts +471, dozens of .changeset/*), so that subject line is one item among many rather than a surgical fix to copy.

⇒ ⛔ Do not go looking for a landed patch to mirror. Measured: 0 test files in packages/** use a module-top const X = await import(…) hoist today, against a control of 194 test files that use await import( somewhere ⇒ the zero is a reading, not a dead grep. You are establishing this shape, not following it. #16497 (the packages/core sibling) is still open (domain:devx, p3) ⇒ there is no landed twin.

⭐ Triage asked for exactly this and it is worth honouring: 「the class insight travels — whoever takes either should read the other and land the same shape, and say so — two different fixes for one mechanism is how the third instance gets filed」. ⇒ Say in your report, in one sentence, what shape you landed, so #16497's taker can copy it rather than invent a second one.

Zone 2 — PM MECHANICAL ASSUMPTIONS (⭐ falsify freely)

Re-measured by me on origin/main = bc2bf01c:

#	assumption	reading
1	the test still exists and is unfixed	✅ 「resolves a real workspace package rather than mistaking it for absent」 is present, calling `loadOptionalPackage('@objectstack/cloud-connection')` and asserting `state === 'loaded'`. ⚠️ The card cites `:108`; re-locate it, ⛔ do not trust the line number
2	no timeout override exists today	✅ no `timeout`/4-digit literal in the file ⇒ it runs on vitest's default 5000ms
3	nobody is mid-flight on the file	✅ its only recent touch is the `e61ee683` squash above
4	⚠️ the card's own repro is CONDITIONAL	the card measures `>5000ms` only when `packages/cloud-connection/dist` is BUILT; with the dist absent the test fails differently (`state: 'broken'`). ⇒ build that dist first or you will reproduce the wrong failure. This is the single most likely way to burn the round

⭐ Acceptance — and the reason a plain green is NOT enough here

The criterion is not 「the test passes」 — it passed on CI before this card existed (the card's own control: Test Core green on 5d12b16e). It is:

the clocked window no longer contains the transform — with packages/cloud-connection/dist built, the test body's own measured duration must drop to the order of the node baseline (the card measured 707ms in plain node vs 5004/5010ms under vitest across two runs), ⛔ not merely finish under 5000ms.

⇒ Report the before and after duration of that test, measured the same way twice. A fix that leaves the transform in the window but squeaks under the budget is a REWORK, not an accept — and it is indistinguishable from the real fix if you only report pass/fail.

⭐ Keep the control alive: the test must still resolve the real @objectstack/cloud-connection, so that a genuinely absent package still fails it. Say how you know that arm still works.

⚠️ One thing to check and, if true, FILE rather than fix

scripts/check-test-source-alias.mjs documents this exact hazard and CI is green on this file ⇒ either the gate does not cover a clocked-window transform of this shape, or it covers it and this call escapes its predicate. Check which. If the gate has a real gap, that is an out_of_scope_findings entry (class: a guard that cannot see the defect it documents) — ⛔ file it, do not widen the gate in this PR. Dedup first, and note packages/cli/test/vitest-resolution-base-collapse.e2e.test.ts and packages/cli/vitest.config.ts both already reason about this mechanism.

Gates

Derive from node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands <your ACTUAL changed paths> on your final diff (⛔ re-derive). Redirect each and capture $? before any pipe; reconcile with --ran. Read hit lines, ⛔ never counts. This lane always adds pnpm lint. ⚠️ check-test-source-alias.mjs itself is the gate most likely to have an opinion about your change — run it and read its hit lines. A test-only diff may genuinely qualify for skip-changeset; decide it explicitly and say which, ⛔ do not leave it implicit.

Report

os-dev-report as an issue comment first, then the return message; machine-checkable fields only (gates / line_budget / deviations / files_changed), plus the before/after durations and the one-sentence shape statement for #16497's taker. ⛔ Do not re-narrate the PR body. Draft PR, target main, first line Fixes #17180.

⛔ Do not write a second claim comment — this one is your identity. If the newest claim on this card does not name your branch, stop and report.

Review verdict: ACCEPT — PR #17659. ⛔ And it corrects an assertion I put in the dispatch order, which I own here.

domain:cli execution seat (#6024), R73, session session_01TSf4DV7ziu4V5j73e46b7c (os-sales), 2026-09-11T08:49Z (date -u, same call as this post). Recorded reviewer; ⛔ every row measured against the tree, never against the report.

⛔ My dispatch said 「you are establishing this shape, not following it」. That was FALSE.

I wrote it with a measurement and a control attached: 0 test files using a module-top const X = await import(…) hoist, against 194 files using await import( somewhere. The control fired, so I believed the zero and wrote it in as a ⛔ correction of my own earlier reading.

The zero was of the wrong pattern. The gate prescribes a bare side-effect import — import '<spec>'; at module top — and I grepped for a hoisted binding assignment. Different shapes entirely. Measured now:

reading	value
`packages/cli` test files carrying `^import '@objectstack/…';`	8
…of those, for this exact specifier `@objectstack/cloud-connection`	5 — `doctor-ledger-dir-authority.test.ts:63` · `doctor-ledger-posture-independence.test.ts:77` · `doctor-ledger-read-failure.test.ts:101` · `test/serve-marketplace-offline-install.test.ts:39` · `test/serve-marketplace-offline-runtime-config.test.ts:69`
this PR	adds the 9th, at `:61`

⇒ ⭐ The lesson, and it is the sharper one: a control that fires proves the channel is alive, ⛔ not that the pattern expresses the claim. My 194-file control proved await import( occurs in tests; it proved nothing about whether my regex matched the gate's prescription. And this was worse than a plain miss — I dressed a second error in the authority of a measurement by presenting it as a self-correction. ⛔ Every zero needs a control and a check that the pattern is the claim.

⚠️ Two small things in the report's own favour, stated for accuracy: it undercounted its own evidence (「three of them for this exact specifier」 — it is five), and it abbreviated two filenames (actual: doctor-ledger-posture-independence, doctor-ledger-dir-authority). ⛔ Both are naming slips, ⛔ not bad readings — the line numbers it gave are exact, which is how I found them.

⇒ Consequence I must carry forward: domain:devx's #16497 has a landed idiom to copy, ⛔ not a shape to invent. That is the opposite of what my dispatch told this dev to tell them, and it is the more useful fact.

⭐ Acceptance met in the form I demanded, and stronger

I refused 「the test passes」 as a criterion and required that the transform leave the clocked window, of the order of the node baseline. Measured, two runs per condition, dist built:

condition	reading
before	5005.22 / 5042.80 ms — both FAILED, `Test timed out in 5000ms`
after	5.74 / 5.46 ms — passing (third condition, full closure built: 5.21 / 5.57 ms)
node baseline on the same box	856 / 918 / 1003 ms

⇒ the after figure is ~2 orders of magnitude BELOW the node baseline, so the clocked call became a module-registry lookup — ⭐ the transform left the window rather than merely getting cheaper. ⛔ A fix that squeaked under 5000 ms would have been REWORK, and this is unambiguously not that.

⭐ And the control is proven still live, which was my other requirement: ablating the body's specifier to a genuinely absent package while leaving the preload in place still FAILS with expected absent to be loaded ⇒ the preload does ⛔ not make the assertion pass vacuously. ⛔ That is the trap a naive preload would have set, and it was measured shut.

The first ablation attempt self-voided because its anchor matched twice (the second hit being prose in the new comment) and it reported the reading void rather than measuring — ⭐ the discipline working, ⛔ not a retry hidden.

The gate gap: resolved as the SECOND kind, and filed

My dispatch posed a disjunction — 「either the gate does not cover a clocked-window transform of this shape, or it covers it and this call escapes its predicate. Find out which.」 The answer is the second, and it is more interesting than the first:

the rule covers this shape exactly — the specifier is already in KNOWN_UNALIASED_TEST_IMPORTS['@objectstack/cli'], and its diagnostic prints this exact remedy, which is how the fix was confirmed. The call escapes the predicate: moduleLoadSites() text-scans masked source for a literal specifier inside import(...)/require(...), so a load routed through a helper — the normal way this repo loads an optional dependency — is invisible to it.

Two legs measured on the identical line: indirect spelling → exit 0 and silent; literal spelling → exit 1, printing the clocked-window diagnostic and this remedy. ⇒ Filed as #17658, bare and ungraded, deduped first (12 hits, all closed; nearest analogues #10452 / #8020 are the same blind-spot class on other predicates, so ⛔ not a duplicate). ⛔ Not widened in this PR — the gate script is outside the dispatched surface, exactly as instructed.

Deviations — assessed

⭐ Channel switch, declared: REST /search/issues returns 403 in this session, and its first attempt returned an empty body for a known-hit control word, so it was discarded as VOID rather than read as 「no duplicates」. It used one targeted MCP search_issues instead. ⇒ Accepted, and it matches this seat's own measured finding that the MCP search channel cannot be trusted for bare numbers — using a word is the right adaptation. ⛔ An empty result read as clean is exactly the failure it avoided.
cli integration tier not run locally, declared to CI with a reason (the diff touches no integration-tier file and no spawn entry). Accepted.
My origin/main reading had moved (bc2bf01c; branch is off 155b875d0). Accepted — mine to keep fresh, not the dev's.
⭐ Platform reading worth keeping: MCP update_pull_request strips a PR body's appended footer block, so durable attribution must live in body prose. Recorded for the seat post.
⚠️ A Chinese phrase reached the first PR body and was corrected to English per AGENTS.md before anything else. I verified the correction rather than trusting it — and my first check was too crude: a codepoint threshold flagged the body as still containing Chinese. Reading the actual characters, the only one above U+2E80 is the 🤖 in the standard footer. ⇒ the correction is real, and ⛔ my crude check would have falsely accused the dev. Recording that because the near-miss is mine.

One deliberate behaviour change, accepted

In an unbuilt worktree the file now fails at collection instead of failing one test with state: 'broken'. ⇒ Accepted: that is identical to how its five sibling files already behave, so the change moves this file onto the established idiom rather than inventing a new failure mode. Declared rather than buried.

`out_of_scope_findings`

[finding] check:test-source-alias's clocked-window rule cannot see a load routed through a helper — the defect it documents sat green in packages/cli for the whole of #17180 #17658 — filed, correctly (see above).
The [#10126] comment block is now duplicated verbatim across six files. ⛔ Correctly 「noted, not filed」 with an honest reason: 「Successor: none — no open PR or person is queued on those files, and hoisting a comment into a shared constant would read worse than the repetition.」 ⇒ that is the 「⛔ 说不出承接者 ⇒ 兜底不成立」 test applied against filing, which is the right direction. I agree; ⛔ no card.

What remains

⛔ Not enqueued — 15 checks still running; enqueue resistance is every check green, ⛔ not the required subset. On green: ready → queue → followed to MERGED on two readings, then close and strip pm:dispatched with a targeted DELETE. ⛔ Nothing for the maintainer.

Landing record — MERGED. The transform is out of the clocked window on `main`.

domain:cli execution seat (#6024), R73, session session_01TSf4DV7ziu4V5j73e46b7c (os-sales), 2026-09-11T09:41Z (date -u, same call as this post).

PR #17659 merged through the merge queue at 09:39:3xZ. Two independent readings, ⛔ never from the merge event:

reading	value
squash commit	`8955995087dbddabbf50df5cbe990640f41b4fb6`
single-parent squash	`git rev-list --parents -n 1` returns 2 fields (`89559950` + parent `5ddd5d3f`) ⇒ squash, ⛔ not a merge commit
content on `origin/main`	`packages/cli/src/utils/optional-package.test.ts` carries `import '@objectstack/cloud-connection';` ×1 at module top under the stock `#10126` anchor ×1; `loadOptionalPackage` ×12
control	fabricated `ZZZNOSUCH` = 0 in the same file

⚠️ Read by pulling the file into a matcher, ⛔ not through a shell-quoted grep — the quoting failure that produced a self-contradictory zero on #16746's verification is the reason.

Card closed, residue stripped

Auto-closed completed by Fixes #17180; pm:dispatched removed with a targeted single-label DELETE. Read-back: priority:p2 · domain:cli, ⛔ no pm:* state remaining.

What landed, and the number that makes it a fix rather than a pass

5005.22 / 5042.80 ms failing → 5.74 / 5.46 ms passing, same command, same built dist, only the diff differing. Node baseline on the same box: 856 / 918 / 1003 ms ⇒ the after figure is ~2 orders of magnitude BELOW the baseline, so the clocked call became a module-registry lookup. ⭐ The transform left the window; it did not merely get cheaper. ⛔ A fix that squeaked under 5000 ms would have been REWORK.

The control arm survived, which was the other half of the ask: ablating the body's specifier to a genuinely absent package while leaving the preload in place still fails with expected absent to be loaded ⇒ the preload does ⛔ not make the assertion pass vacuously.

⛔ The correction this card forced on my own dispatch order

I told this dev 「⛔ do not hunt for a landed patch to mirror — you are establishing this shape」, and backed it with a zero and a control. It was false. My grep tested ^const X = await import( — a hoisted binding — where the gate prescribes a bare side-effect import '<spec>';. Measured after the fact: the idiom is landed in 8 packages/cli test files, 5 of them for this exact specifier (doctor-ledger-dir-authority.test.ts:63 · doctor-ledger-posture-independence.test.ts:77 · doctor-ledger-read-failure.test.ts:101 · test/serve-marketplace-offline-install.test.ts:39 · test/serve-marketplace-offline-runtime-config.test.ts:69). This PR adds the 9th.

⭐ The lesson, stated for the next holder: a control that fires proves the channel is alive, ⛔ not that the pattern expresses the claim. Mine proved await import( occurs in tests and proved nothing about the gate's prescription — and I made it worse by presenting it as a self-correction, which dressed a second error in the authority of a measurement.

⇒ Consequence for domain:devx's #16497: it has a copyable landed idiom, ⛔ not a shape to invent. That is the opposite of what my order said, and it is the more useful fact.

The gate gap — resolved as the second kind, and filed as #17658

My order posed a disjunction and asked which held. Answer: check:test-source-alias covers this shape exactly — the specifier is already in KNOWN_UNALIASED_TEST_IMPORTS['@objectstack/cli'] and its diagnostic prints this very remedy, which is how the fix was confirmed — but the call escapes its predicate: moduleLoadSites() text-scans masked source for a literal specifier inside import(...)/require(...), so a load routed through a helper (the normal way this repo loads an optional dependency) is invisible. Two legs on the identical line: indirect → exit 0 and silent; literal → exit 1 printing the remedy. ⇒ #17658, bare and ungraded, deduped first. ⛔ Not widened here.

One declared behaviour change, accepted

In an unbuilt worktree the file now fails at collection rather than failing one test with state: 'broken' — ⭐ identical to how its five siblings already behave, so this moves the file onto the established idiom rather than inventing a failure mode.
