Draft: A2 ci-speed slice (items 4, 5, 6, 9). Do not merge: parent reviews and merges.

Goal

Cut the e2e lanes' wall-clock without dropping a spec, without retries or longer timeouts, then make the nightly run find flakes before they block a PR.

What changed

  • ci.yml image job saves its build (docker save | zstd) as a 1-day artifact; each e2e lane downloads and docker loads it instead of rebuilding (~280 s per lane before). e2e job now needs: [changes, image] with the caller permission envelope the callee requires.
  • Playwright browser install drops --with-deps (apt step swung 21-260 s).
  • Each lane shards across 2 jobs (E2E_SHARD, setup+policy repeat on every shard by Playwright design); reports upload as playwright-report-{lane}-r{round}-s{shard}; JSON reporter added for the hunt.
  • e2e.yml gains image_artifact + rounds inputs; schedule runs 3 rounds per lane; flakes job files one flake issue per failing spec (or comments on the open one). No retries anywhere.
  • images.yml e2e call gets the same envelope; tag gate and nightly still build per lane when no artifact is passed.
  • AGENTS.md CI/e2e bullets, CHANGELOG entry.

Before/after, release suite, real runs

Before: parent's measured baseline on main (6 green runs): lane image build 280 s single / 291 s multi; playwright --with-deps apt 21-260 s; e2e tests 311 s / 313 s; inject mounts ~63 s; lane job totals 9-16 min single, 8-14 min multi; image built 3x per run.
After (this branch): image job once per run, parallel with check/rust/worker (build ~336-351 s, save ~6 s, upload ~5 s). Per lane: download ~5-10 s + load ~13-15 s (build, cache-mount and inject steps skipped); playwright chromium 1 s on every lane; e2e tests 180-236 s per shard (was 311-313 s whole); lane jobs ~3.7-4.7 min (was 9-16).
Critical path (image -> slowest lane): ~11.1-11.7 min (runs 39766045028: 11m41s, 39769322116: 11m08s), down from ~13 min typical and up to ~16 min unlucky; variance collapsed (apt gone, one build). Compute: 1 image build per run instead of 3.

Sharding verdict: SHIP. Max shard 236 s < whole-suite 311 s on release; every release lane finished faster than its unsharded baseline. No spec dropped (setup+policy repeat per shard by design; bulk 71 splits 40/31).

Runs on this PR

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • E2E test runs now reuse a shared build and split tests across parallel jobs.
    • Nightly runs repeat tests across multiple rounds and track failing specs in GitHub issues.
    • Browser setup skips an unnecessary system-dependency installation step.

📝 Walkthrough

The CI workflows now share a built image with E2E lanes, run tests across configurable rounds and two shards, and generate JSON reports. Scheduled and manually dispatched runs process failed specs and create or update flake issues.

Changes: E2E CI and flake reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build and share the CI image
.github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/e2e.yml
The CI image job uploads a one-day image artifact. The E2E workflow can load this image instead of building one per lane. The called workflow receives the permissions needed to access the artifact and report issues.
Plan rounds, shard runs, and write reports
.github/workflows/e2e.yml, apps/noite/playwright.config.ts, AGENTS.md, CHANGELOG.md
The workflow plans one to three rounds and runs two shards per lane. Playwright validates E2E_SHARD and writes JSON results. The instructions and changelog describe the workflow changes.
Aggregate failures and update flake issues
.github/scripts/flake-issues.ts, .github/workflows/e2e.yml, .github/workflows/images.yml
The workflow processes reports for scheduled and dispatched runs. The script groups failed specs and creates an issue or comments on an open issue with an exact matching title.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d02c1

Nightly flake reports can misclassify tests, overlook a missing shard, or create duplicate issues. The CI change is mergeable with these bounded reporting risks acknowledged and followed up.

- Line 259: Update the completion check around filesRead so it verifies that
received lane, round, and shard reports cover the planned matrix before treating
the hunt as complete; reject incomplete coverage even when at least one JSON
report was read.
- Around line 132-138: Update the result selection in the `spec.tests` flow to
classify each JSON test by its `outcome` before choosing an error result: ignore
expected outcomes, and handle unexpected and flaky outcomes appropriately so
expected `test.fail()` failures are not filed and unexpected passes are
detected.
- Around line 284-300: Update the open issue retrieval assigned to open to use
the paginated GitHub API, combine all returned pages, and exclude pull requests
from the results. Preserve the existing exact in-memory title comparison so
issue creation checks the complete set without relying on search syntax.

…htly flake hunt

Squashed from ci/e2e-speed (d02c10d), rebased across #87 (ci-ok and the
merge_group lane conditions kept) with the image job's unneeded
actions:write dropped. See PR #90 for the before/after and run ids.

…inate open issues

CodeRabbit on #90:
- The outcome decides, not a result status: an expected test.fail()
  failure is green and never filed; a test.fail() that passed is filed as
  an unexpected pass; flaky outcomes are filed too.
- The job receives the planned matrix (--lanes, --rounds from the plan
  job, --shards) and fails when a planned cell uploaded no results (a
  lane that never booted, a shard that died), after filing what did report.
- Open flake issues are listed through the paginated API (gh api
  --paginate --slurp) and matched by exact title in memory, so a capped
  list can't cause duplicates.

Tests: .github/scripts/flake-issues.test.ts (3 of 6 fail on the previous
logic), now run in check.yml with the docker/ script tests.
