Conversation
…ing as hung `bun run test` spawned `bun test --isolate ./tests/`. With `--isolate` and no `--parallel`, Bun re-evaluates the module graph once per file on a single core. Past ~900 files that stops looking slow and starts looking hung. Measured on this tree (902 files): without --parallel 1 h 29 m, zero output, ~57 % CPU, 8.5 MB RSS, killed with --parallel ~110-190 s, 10x PARALLEL The failure mode is what makes this worth fixing rather than documenting: there is no progress output, one core is pinned, and RSS stays tiny, so it reads as a deadlock. A contributor's reasonable conclusion is that the suite is broken. The stale "normally runs in about 210s" warning is updated for the same reason — that number predates the file count that made the flag necessary. `resolveBunTestArgs` is exported and pinned by tests so the flag cannot be dropped again silently, including the two easy-to-regress cases: a caller supplying `--parallel=N` must not be overridden, and an option-only argv such as `--timeout=30000` must still count as a full-suite run and keep `./tests/`. Gate: 14436 pass / 2 fail; both also fail on untouched upstream/dev at this commit (baseline: 4 fail, a superset). Zero regressions. Note on scope: this is the smallest change that makes the suite runnable. Two adjacent changes are deliberately left out and will be proposed separately — narrowing the exclusive-run lock to full-suite runs (a behavior change that lets two focused runs share one sandboxed HOME), and a `test:changed` script with the contributing-guide updates that go with it. Separately and not addressed here: `tests/key-login-live-update.test.ts` fails standalone and serially on a clean tree, so every full run is red by at least one test regardless of this change.
`waitForExclusiveRun` made every invocation wait, including a single-file run. Behind a full suite that is a multi-minute wait for a check that takes seconds, which is the common case during implementation. What the lock actually guards is CPU contention, not shared state: each run gets its own `mkdtemp` sandbox, and the incident it was written for is two full suites crawling until the slowdown reads as a hang. The trade-off is deliberate and worth stating: with `--parallel` a full run already saturates the machine, so a focused run started alongside one does slow it. The judgement is that blocking every focused check behind a multi-minute suite costs more in practice than the contention it avoids. Full suites still queue behind each other, which is the case the lock was written for. Stacked on the `--parallel` fix, which introduces `isFullSuiteRun`.

For Bun 1.4.0, confirm that bun test --timeout 30000 runs test discovery without a positional test filter, and list test CLI options that consume a separate path or numeric value.
💡 Result:
Yes, running bun test --timeout 30000 performs test discovery for all test files in the project directory when no positional test filter is provided [1][2][3]. The --timeout flag globally sets the per-test timeout in milliseconds (in this case, 30 seconds), while the test runner continues its default behavior of recursively scanning the working directory for files matching patterns such as *.test.js or *.spec.ts [1][2][3][4]. Test CLI options that accept a numeric value (often used for timeouts or concurrency limits) include: --timeout : Sets the per-test timeout in milliseconds [1][2][5]. --parallel : Although bun test --parallel is often used as a flag, if specified with a numeric value (e.g., --parallel 4), it controls the number of test files to run in parallel [6]. Note that while --timeout is a direct CLI option for bun test, most other numeric constraints in Bun's test environment are typically configured via the test file itself (e.g., the third argument to the test() function) rather than through separate CLI path numeric values [2][7].

Bun 1.4.0 bun test CLI documentation: determine whether --preload consumes a separate path argument, which test options consume separate values, and whether bun test --timeout 30000 has no positional test filter.
💡 Result:
In Bun 1.4.0, the bun test CLI behavior regarding the specified options is as follows: --preload argument behavior The --preload option does consume a separate path argument [1][2]. It is used to load scripts (such as global setup or mocks) before the test files are executed [2]. Multiple --preload flags can be provided to load multiple files [1]. Test options consuming separate values Several CLI options for bun test require a separate value argument: --timeout: Specifies the per-test timeout in milliseconds (e.g., --timeout 30000) [3][2]. --retry: Specifies the number of times to retry failed tests [3]. --test-name-pattern (or -t): Accepts a regex pattern to filter tests by name [3][4]. --parallel: While it functions as a flag, it can optionally take a numeric value to specify the number of worker processes (e.g., --parallel=4) [5]. --reporter: Accepts a reporter type (e.g., --reporter=junit) [1]. --reporter-outfile: Accepts a file path for the reporter output [1]. --tsconfig-override: Accepts a path to a custom tsconfig file [2]. --conditions: Accepts a comma-separated list of conditions for module resolution [2]. bun test --timeout 30000 and positional filters The command bun test --timeout 30000 does not inherently include a positional test filter unless a specific path or substring match is appended [3][4]. In the Bun test runner, positional arguments are treated as substring filters for test file paths [4]. If you run bun test --timeout 30000, Bun will run all discovered test files with a 30,000ms timeout [3][2]. If you wanted to filter for a specific test file or directory, you would append it as a positional argument, for example: bun test --timeout 30000./path/to/test.test.ts [3][4]. [3][4][2]

Consume separate Bun option values before classifying filters.
At scripts/test.ts:68, isFullSuiteRun(["--timeout", "30000"]) treats 30000 as a positional filter. The wrapper then omits "./tests/" and skips waitForExclusiveRun at line 174, allowing concurrent full-suite runs to contend for CPU. The same applies to --preload ./setup.ts and other value-taking options.
Track values for supported options, keep them in the child argv, and exclude them from filter detection. Add regressions for numeric and path-valued options. Each case must append "./tests/".

Closing this — its stated rationale is wrong, and not in a way a reword fixes. I justified narrowing the lock with "it guards CPU contention, not shared state, because each invocation gets its own The concrete counter-example:
So the lock is doing more than queueing for CPU, and removing the wait for focused runs is not the free win this PR claimed. The daily cost it targets is real, but the prerequisite is making the remaining fixed-fixture paths per-run first. Not worth keeping open as a half-argued change in the meantime. #2427 (the |

What changes
waitForExclusiveRuncurrently makes every invocation wait, including a single-file run. Behind a full suite that is a multi-minute wait for a check that takes seconds — the common case while implementing.This narrows the wait to full-suite runs.
What the lock actually guards
CPU contention, not shared state. Each invocation gets its own
mkdtempsandbox (createIsolatedTestEnvironment), so concurrent runs do not collide onHOME,OPENCODEX_HOMEorCODEX_HOME. The incident the lock was written for is recorded in its own comment: a suite that normally took ~210 s took 26 minutes against a runner an earlier session had left behind, and neither process said anything, so the slowdown read as a hang.The trade-off, stated plainly
With
--parallel(#2427) a full run already saturates the machine, so a focused run started alongside one does slow it. This is a judgement call, not a free win:Full suites still queue behind each other, which is the case the lock was written for.
This is separated from #2427 exactly because it is a behavior decision rather than a fix — I did not want it riding along inside a PR whose justification is "the suite does not finish".
Tests
None added. The lock's behavior is process-level (
pgrepfor competing runners plus a wait loop) and I did not find a way to pin it that would not amount to asserting the implementation back to itself. Flagging that rather than adding a test that only restates the code.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
