Phase 79: CI/CD & Packaging

Summary

Infrastructure-only phase: automated CI/CD pipelines, linting, script cleanup, and packaging hygiene. Zero engine or source logic changes.

Tests added: 31 Files created: 6 (3 workflows, 1 archive README, 1 test file, 1 devlog) Files modified: 6 (.github/workflows/docs.yml, .gitignore, pyproject.toml, tests/conftest.py, docs/devlog/index.md, docs/development-phases-block8.md) Bonus fix: Added --ignore=tests/api --ignore=tests/e2e to pytest addopts — prevents collection errors when api extra not installed Files moved: 4 (scripts → scripts/archive)

What Was Built

79a: Test Workflow (.github/workflows/test.yml)

  • Two parallel jobs: Python tests (uv + pytest) and Frontend tests (npm ci + npm test)
  • Triggers on push to any branch and PR to main
  • Concurrency group prevents duplicate runs
  • Uses astral-sh/setup-uv@v4 with built-in cache

79b: Lint Workflow (.github/workflows/lint.yml)

  • Python: ruff check on stochastic_warfare/, api/, tests/, scripts/
  • Frontend: eslint on src/
  • Same trigger and concurrency pattern as test workflow

79c: Docker Build Workflow (.github/workflows/build.yml)

  • PR-only trigger — verifies Dockerfile builds without pushing to registry
  • Single job: docker build -t stochastic-warfare:test .

79d: Docs Workflow Fix (.github/workflows/docs.yml)

  • Replaced bare pip install mkdocs-material with uv sync --extra docs
  • Added astral-sh/setup-uv@v4 step
  • Commands now use uv run mkdocs build --strict and uv run mkdocs gh-deploy --force

79e: Ruff Linter Integration

  • Added ruff>=0.8 to dev dependencies in pyproject.toml
  • Added [tool.ruff] configuration: target Python 3.12, line-length 120
  • Rule set: E (pycodestyle) + F (pyflakes) with generous ignore list for existing patterns
  • Auto-fixed ~1,087 violations (mostly unused imports, f-string placeholders, multi-imports)
  • Added ignore rules for unfixable patterns: E402, E701, E702, E731, F401, F821
  • ruff format --check intentionally deferred — would require massive reformatting commit

79f: Script Archive

  • Created scripts/archive/ directory with README documenting rationale
  • Moved 4 stale tracked scripts via git mv:
  • debug_loader.py — superseded by /validate-data skill
  • debug_scenario.py — superseded by test_run_scenario.py
  • smoke_73.py — one-off Phase 73 validation
  • smoke_all.py — superseded by evaluate_scenarios.py

79g: Gitignore Cleanup

  • Added patterns for evaluation artifacts: evaluation_results*.json, evaluation_stderr*.log, falk_test.json
  • Added patterns for untracked debug/trace scripts: debug_taiwan*.py, debug_falklands*.py, test_taiwan_*.py, test_napoleon_*.py, check_winners.py, eval_summary.py

79h: Fixture Cleanup (tests/conftest.py)

  • Removed sim_clock fixture (zero test consumers)
  • Removed rng_manager fixture (zero test consumers)
  • Removed make_stream() helper (zero external callers)
  • Removed unused imports: RNGManager, ModuleId
  • Kept: rng fixture, event_bus fixture, make_rng(), make_clock() (all have active consumers)

Design Decisions

  1. Minimal ruff rules (E+F only): Starting conservative. Can tighten incrementally. Avoids noisy failures from style rules on a 65k-line codebase.
  2. Format check deferred: ruff format --check would fail across the entire codebase and require a massive reformatting commit with git-blame pollution. Not worth it now.
  3. Generous ignore list: E402 (conditional imports), F821 (string annotations + complex scope), E702 (compact test lines), etc. are widespread and benign.
  4. PR-only Docker build: Build verification on every push wastes CI minutes. PRs are the gate.
  5. Explicit gitignore patterns: Used specific patterns (debug_taiwan*.py) rather than broad globs to avoid accidentally ignoring future tracked scripts.

Deviations from Plan

  • Plan called for ~2 tests; delivered 29 structural tests across 9 test classes.
  • Plan mentioned ruff format --check in lint workflow; deferred to avoid codebase-wide reformatting.
  • Plan archived test_napoleon_quick.py; that file was untracked (already gitignored), so only 4 tracked scripts were moved.
  • Auto-fixed ~1,087 ruff violations (unused imports etc.) across the codebase — plan said "auto-fix (trivial)" which this is.

Known Limitations / Deferrals

Item Reason
ruff format --check not in CI Would fail on entire codebase; requires dedicated reformatting phase
F821 false positives (21 items) String annotations in from __future__ import annotations files + complex scope in battle.py; benign
No CI matrix (multiple Python versions) Project pins 3.12 only; matrix unnecessary
No artifact upload in test workflow Test results visible in CI logs; JUnit XML deferred

Unplanned fix: pytest addopts collection guard

Added --ignore=tests/api --ignore=tests/e2e to pyproject.toml addopts. The marker-based exclusion (-m 'not api') only filters after collection, but tests/api/conftest.py imports api.config which requires pydantic-settings (in the api extra, not dev). Without --ignore, uv run python -m pytest fails with ModuleNotFoundError when only dev extra is installed. This was a pre-existing issue that the CI workflow would have hit.

Lessons Learned

  1. Ruff auto-fix is safe and effective: 1,087 fixes (mostly unused imports) applied cleanly. No behavioral changes.
  2. F821 from string annotations: When a file has from __future__ import annotations, ruff still checks that names in string annotations exist. This creates false positives for forward references.
  3. Fixture consumers must be verified by grep, not assumption: The plan correctly identified zero consumers for all 3 removed items — grep confirmation essential.
  4. uv sync --extra dev removes other extras: Running uv sync --extra dev to install ruff uninstalled pydantic_settings (from api extra). This broke test_xfail_set_is_empty which imports from tests/e2e/. Fix: CI workflow uses uv sync --extra dev --extra api.
  5. New CalibrationSchema flags need _DEFERRED_FLAGS updates: Phase 78's 3 new enable_* flags caused test_all_enable_flags_exercised_in_scenarios to fail. Fix: added them to _DEFERRED_FLAGS in test_phase_67_structural.py.
  6. ESLint unused imports in test files: 3 errors in a11y tests fixed to ensure lint workflow passes.

Postmortem

1. Delivered vs Planned

Planned Delivered Notes
test.yml workflow test.yml Added --extra api to install step (unplanned)
lint.yml workflow lint.yml Dropped ruff format --check (would fail on entire codebase)
build.yml Added Docker build verification (planned in spec but not in 79a/b/c)
~2 tests 31 tests Significantly over-delivered on structural coverage
Archive debug scripts 4 scripts archived Plan listed test_napoleon_quick.py but it was untracked
Gitignore artifacts Done As planned
docs.yml fix Done uv sync --extra docs replaces bare pip install
conftest cleanup Done Removed 3 items + 2 imports
pytest addopts fix Unplanned — --ignore=tests/api --ignore=tests/e2e to prevent collection errors
_DEFERRED_FLAGS update Unplanned — Phase 78 flags needed in structural test
ESLint fixes Unplanned — 3 unused import errors in a11y test files
~1,087 ruff auto-fixes Planned as "auto-fix trivial" — large blast radius across ~420 files

Verdict: Scope well-calibrated. Plan was minimal but the right unplanned items were discovered and fixed during implementation.

2. Integration Audit

  • Workflows: All 3 new workflows are valid YAML, tested by structural tests.
  • Ruff config: Exercised — ruff check passes on full codebase.
  • pytest addopts: Verified — --ignore flags prevent collection errors; tested by TestPytestAddopts.
  • Script archive: Verified — git mv tracked, TestScriptArchive confirms source/destination.
  • No dead modules: Phase is infra-only — no new engine modules to wire.

No integration gaps found.

3. Test Quality Review

31 tests across 10 classes. Mix of: - File existence (4 tests) — verifies workflow files exist - Content verification (11 tests) — checks for key strings in workflows (uv, pytest, eslint, docker, triggers) - Structural verification (9 tests) — confirms script archive state, gitignore patterns, conftest cleanup - Config verification (4 tests) — ruff in deps, tool.ruff section, addopts ignores - Semantic verification (3 tests) — PR-only trigger for build.yml, no bare pip in docs.yml

Tests verify behavior (file contents and structure), not implementation details. No edge case gaps — these are structural assertions. No slow tests.

4. API Surface Check

No new public APIs. Conftest cleanup removed 3 items with zero consumers (verified by grep). Remaining public API (rng, event_bus, make_rng, make_clock, constants) unchanged.

5. Deficit Discovery

Deficit Severity Disposition
ruff format --check not in CI LOW Deferred — requires codebase-wide reformatting
F821 false positives (21 items) LOW Accepted limitation — benign in from __future__ import annotations files
4 ESLint warnings (react-hooks/exhaustive-deps) LOW Accepted limitation — warnings don't block CI

No new deficits requiring future phase work. All are accepted limitations.

6. Documentation Freshness

Document Accurate? Notes
CLAUDE.md status line Yes Phase 79, 10,141 tests, Block 8 IN PROGRESS
CLAUDE.md Phase 79 row Yes 31 tests, correct description
README.md badges Yes 10,141 tests, Phase 79
docs/index.md badges Yes Matches README
devlog/index.md Yes Phase 79 row, Complete
development-phases-block8.md Yes Phase 79 marked Complete
mkdocs.yml Yes Phase 79 nav entry
MEMORY.md Yes 9,833 Python + 308 frontend

No user-facing docs affected (no new modules, scenarios, eras, or math models).

7. Performance Sanity

Test suite: 9,833 passed in 1,400s (~23 min). Previous phase (78) was similar duration. No regression — expected for infra-only phase with no new computation.

8. Summary

  • Scope: On target (delivered planned items + 3 useful unplanned fixes)
  • Quality: High (31 structural tests, zero failures, clean lint)
  • Integration: Fully wired (all workflows valid, ruff passes, addopts tested)
  • Deficits: 0 new (3 accepted limitations, all LOW severity)
  • Action items: None — ready to commit

Cross-Doc Audit Results

25/25 checks PASS. All 8 lockstep documents synchronized. Test count (10,141) consistent across CLAUDE.md, README.md, docs/index.md, and MEMORY.md. Phase status consistent across devlog/index.md, development-phases-block8.md, and mkdocs.yml.
