ci: stop slow MoChA and 1000 Genomes downloads timing out e2e cases - #260
Three things made CI fail for reasons unrelated to the change under test:
archaic-ancestry-1 hit its 3600 s case timeout once. EBI sent the 1000 Genomes sites VCF (1.36 GB) at about 440 KB/s, so the download alone took 53 minutes (run 40933547961, attempt 1). mocha-1 downloads MoChA's chr20 panel (0.64 GB) from the same server on every run. Separately, nothing bounded a real stall: curl and wget in _get had no time limit, so a connection that stops sending data would hang the case.
tests/test_annotsv_benign_mane.sh flaked in Guard. The log of run 41005137708 shows why: the merge run in setup.sh --annotsv-data was the first use of the AnnotSV image, docker run pulled it, the pull broke off (short read ... unexpected EOF), and docker run exited 125 two seconds in without retrying.
family-joint-1 once lost the pair message it checks, because it read the FAMILY_CHECK error from the Nextflow console, where the task's stdout had overwritten the start of its stderr.
The fix
Data cache (e2e.yml, e2e-run.sh). Two Actions cache entries: MoChA's chr20 panel with its manifest, keyed on MOCHA_PANEL_MANIFEST_SHA256 and the chromosome (the raw chr20 panel does not depend on the fixture), and the 1000 Genomes sites VCF, keyed on ARCHAIC_1KG_SITES_MD5. Before mocha-1 and archaic-ancestry-1, the runner hard-links the files to the paths setup.sh reads, so setup.sh downloads nothing. On a miss the runner downloads them first with fetch, checked against their pins. Only main saves, as with the images. The cache lives at one fixed path, $RUNNER_TEMP/e2e-data, because actions/cache counts the path in the entry version; the runner hard-links from it, or copies when the work area is on /mnt. A failed copy only warns, and the case then downloads the file itself. When nothing will be saved, the files are deleted after the case to give the disk back. Since e2e runs in a base leg and shards, only the leg whose cases include mocha-1 or archaic-ancestry-1 restores and saves that entry.
Cache budget. The image groups drop from 1900 to 1500 MB each: 5.9 GB of images, 1.5 GB more while main replaces a group, plus 2.0 GB of data comes to 9.3 GB, under the 10 GB limit.
Stall bounds (_get).curl gets --connect-timeout 30 --speed-limit 1024 --speed-time ${FETCH_STALL:-120}. wget gets --connect-timeout=30 --read-timeout=${FETCH_STALL:-120} --tries=1. A stalled transfer now fails, and fetch tries again and resumes the .part. A slow transfer that keeps moving is left alone.
setup.sh.annotsv_merge_benign pulls the AnnotSV image first with pull_image, which retries. install_archaic keeps a sites file that is already there and matches its md5, as install_mocha_data already does for its panel files.
family-joint-1. The case reads the pair message from the failed FAMILY_CHECK task's own .command.err, which it finds by family_report.py check in nfwork/*/*/.command.sh. It still checks the console for FAMILY:FAMILY_CHECK, and it fails when no failed FAMILY_CHECK task is found, so the pair check cannot pass on a missing file. The docs half of that bead, the Runtime section of docs/37-y-haplogroup.md, is already right on main (line 94).
Repeat a test (new workflow)..github/workflows/repeat-test.yml runs one test up to 60 times, each in a fresh ubuntu-latest job, six at a time, and counts the failures. A control run that always fails must be counted as failed. It runs by hand, and on a pull request that changes the workflow, with tests/test_annotsv_benign_mane.sh and 30 runs as its defaults.
Decisions:
This was built on main without waiting for the e2e shards, fetch retry and families pull requests. Waiting would leave a known flake on main for hours. Each overlap is small (the cache steps, a separate section of tests/test_fetch_retry.sh, two lines of the case), and whichever lands second merges main once.
Data is saved on main only. A save from a pull request is readable by that pull request alone and would only push main's entries out. So on this pull request the cache misses, and the runner downloads into the cache folder and hands the files to the cases. The first cache hit shows up on main's second run after the merge.
How it was checked
All runs below are on head 2adb4d9 (this branch with main merged after the e2e shards pull request landed).
e2e passed, 0 of 132 cases failed or did not run once: https://github.com/GeiserX/OwnGenome/actions/runs/41610073691 . Only the two legs that hold the cases restored a data entry: shard 5 (mocha-1) logged Cache not found for input keys: e2e-data-mocha-71366add1f73a5a3-chr20, then Data cache: mocha not in the Actions cache; downloading it and mocha: 3 files, and mocha-1 | pass | 533s. Shard 2 (archaic-ancestry-1) missed e2e-data-1kg-sites-d9c22df30ea810d5c7d98391e482d1a3, downloaded and placed archaic: 1 files, and archaic-ancestry-1 | pass | 1554s. A pull request cannot hit, because only main saves; the first hit shows on main's second run after the merge.
family-joint-1 passed (548 s) in shard 6 of the same run, with [PASS] a failed FAMILY_CHECK task was found and the pair check reading the task's own .command.err (also green on the earlier head 852c31e, https://github.com/GeiserX/OwnGenome/actions/runs/41568592579 ). The "task was found" check goes red when the only family_report.py check task exited 0 and green when it exited 1, shown on a stub nfwork tree with the same loop. An earlier control stripped the pair line and then checked that it was gone. That could not fail, so it was dropped.
Stall bounds (Guard unit-tests, tests/test_fetch_retry.sh): https://github.com/GeiserX/OwnGenome/actions/runs/41610073699 . A stalled transfer fails both tries in seconds and keeps the .part, for curl and for wget, and a whole file still downloads under the bounds. The red controls are _get without the bounds, which hangs until the test's timeout (rc=124). FETCH_STALL=0, 00 and x are refused. The old guard accepted 00, which turns both bounds off.
Repeat a test: https://github.com/GeiserX/OwnGenome/actions/runs/41610073593 . tests/test_annotsv_benign_mane.sh: 0 of 30 runs failed (the control failed, as it should). The summary counts only the newest result of each run, so a rerun cannot count a stale one.
Every required check is green on this head: actionlint, build (strict), ci-ok, container-ok, e2e, gitleaks, markdown-links, nextflow (pinned), personal-data, pull-request, self-tests, shellcheck.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Stalled data downloads now time out and can be retried, while downloads that are progressing slowly are allowed to continue.
Test setup can retry fetching a missing container image, and existing verified reference data can be reused.
Tests
Added an option to repeat a selected test up to 60 times across fresh runners, with a summary of results.
Chores
End-to-end checks can reuse cached reference data, reducing repeated downloads.
Documentation
Updated guidance on test repetition, data caching, and download behavior.
… error file
The console copy of the task's stderr lost its ERROR lines in one run,
when the task's stdout overwrote the start of it. The case now reads the
failed FAMILY_CHECK task's .command.err in the work dir, keeps the
console check that FAMILY_CHECK is the task that failed, and shows the
check goes red on a copy without the pair line.
Bead: pgp-o4lu
A test that fails once and passes on rerun can be a flake or a real
bug, and one rerun cannot tell them apart. The Repeat a test workflow
runs one tests/test_*.sh or tests/test_*.py up to 60 times, each in a
fresh ubuntu-latest job, and counts the failures. A planted control
run that always fails must be counted as failed, so a clean count is
never one that could not see a failure.
Bead: pgp-d6pd
…unit tests
archaic-ancestry-1 timed out once because EBI sent the 1.36 GB sites
VCF at 440 KB/s for 53 minutes. The e2e job now caches it and MoChA's
chr20 panel, keyed on their pins and saved on main, and e2e-run.sh
hands them to the two cases at the paths setup.sh reads, so a cache
hit downloads neither. The image groups shrink to 1500 MB each so the
images and the two data entries stay under the 10 GB cache limit.
_get now fails a transfer that stalls (curl under 1 KB/s, or wget with
no data, for FETCH_STALL seconds, default 120; a 30 s connect bound)
so fetch tries again and resumes the .part. tests/test_fetch_retry.sh
checks both against a local server that stops sending, with mutants
that hang without the bounds.
The AnnotSV unit test flaked because the merge run's docker run pulled
the image and one pull broke off (exit 125 in two seconds). setup.sh
now pulls it first with pull_image's retries.

Walkthrough
The PR adds E2E data caching and download timeouts, a workflow for repeating selected tests, and an updated assertion for a failed family check. It also updates testing documentation and records CI lessons.
Changes: E2E data caching and download handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Download limits and setup checks scripts/lib/common.sh, scripts/setup.sh, tests/test_fetch_retry.sh
Downloads now use connection and stall timeouts. AnnotSV setup retries a missing image pull, and archaic-site setup reuses a file that matches its MD5 pin. The new test checks stalled and complete downloads with curl and wget.
Case cache seeding and cleanup scripts/ci/e2e-run.sh
The runner validates the MoChA and archaic-ancestry cache files, maps matching cases to cache entries, and seeds expected paths. It removes entries after each case unless retention is enabled.
Workflow cache restore and save .github/workflows/e2e.yml, docs/testing.md, docs/lessons-learned.md
The E2E workflow restores the MoChA and 1000 Genomes data caches and selects eligible misses to save. Image-cache budgets decrease to 1,500 MB per group. Documentation describes the cache and download changes.
Repeat-test workflow
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Workflow inputs and run planning .github/workflows/repeat-test.yml
The workflow validates the test path and a run count from 1 to 60, then plans numbered runs and a control run.
Test and control execution .github/workflows/repeat-test.yml, docs/lessons-learned.md
Matrix jobs run the selected test or a control script that exits unsuccessfully. Each job records and uploads its exit code.
Result checks and workflow documentation .github/workflows/repeat-test.yml, docs/testing.md
The summary job checks that all test results exist, no test run failed, and the control run failed. The testing guide documents the workflow.
GeiserX/OwnGenome#251: Changes E2E case sharding in the workflow and runner that this PR extends with per-case data-cache handling.
GeiserX/OwnGenome#250: Changes fetch validation retries in the same library where this PR adds transfer stall limits.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 79b5b
The changes are mergeable with bounded follow-up: unusual timeout settings can disable stall protection, and repeat-test reruns can report false failures. Starting a new workflow run avoids the rerun problems. Correct the configuration guard and misleading documentation.

The MoChA entry no longer changes with the fixture, the cache path no
longer follows the work area's disk, a failed copy in data_seed only
warns, and family-joint-1 drops a control that could not fail in favour
of checking that a failed FAMILY_CHECK task was found.

Correct the lesson: wget's stall bound is an idle timer, not a rate floor.
The sentence "so a transfer under 1 KB/s for two minutes fails" follows both the curl and the wget option lists. Only curl's --speed-limit enforces a minimum rate. wget's --read-timeout fails only after no data arrives for the full interval. A wget transfer that trickles data and averages under 1 KB/s continues. Reword the sentence so the rate rule applies to curl only, and state that wget fails only on an idle period.

96-99: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Result artifact names omit the workflow attempt, and the upload does not request replacement. A rerun may try to create an artifact with the same name as one retained from the previous attempt.
The artifact upload fails and the repeat-test workflow reports failure even though the test passed.
This can occur when: A workflow or individual job is rerun while its prior result-<run>-exit-<code> artifact still exists, and the test returns the same code.

Review comment at @.github/workflows/repeat-test.yml around lines 96 - 99:
Update the result artifact name in the upload-artifact step to include the
workflow attempt, or enable artifact replacement, so reruns cannot fail when a
prior attempt's result artifact with the same run and exit code remains.
FETCH_STALL=00 passed the guard and turned both stall bounds off. A
rerun in repeat-test could collide on an artifact name or count the
old attempt's result. The docs now say wget fails on an idle period
only, and that a run by hand with save_images saves the data cache.
Round 1 of the review is handled in 6258fc4. The two items in the review body: docs/lessons-learned.md now says only curl enforces the 1 KB/s floor and wget fails on an idle period only, and the repeat-test upload sets overwrite: true. The three inline threads are answered and resolved.
