- ### Budgets at realistic counts
1026
+ ### Query counts at realistic sizes
1010
1027
 
1011
- **A list, batch or write path has a database test at the row counts and
1012
- history a real workspace holds, and that test fails above a fixed query
1013
- budget, one that a read per row or a history-sized check cannot meet.**
1028
+ **A list, batch or write path's database test counts its queries with the
1029
+ test Knex instance's `query` event at a few rows and at a realistic number,
1030
+ and fails when the count grows with the rows instead of the pages.**
1014
1031
 
1015
- - Seed hundreds of records and long per-person histories, not one to three
1016
- rows: a read per row and a history-sized policy cost nothing at three.
1017
- - Count the queries with the test Knex instance's `query` event and assert a
1018
- ceiling: the count the correct implementation needs at that size, which a
1019
- read per row overshoots by hundreds. A path that pages nothing (one read,
1020
- one write) asserts the same count at a short and a long history. A query
1021
- count is stable in CI; also report the time the call took.
1022
- - Meet the budget by fixing the reads ([One read per
1023
- table](#one-read-per-table), [Bounded access checks](#bounded-access-checks)),
1024
- never by shrinking the data or raising the budget.
1032
+ - Pages add a few queries; rows should add none. A path that pages nothing
1033
+ (one read, one write) compares a short and a long history.
1034
+ - When it fails, fix the reads ([Lists read related rows in
1035
+ batches](#lists-read-related-rows-in-batches), [Bounded access
1036
+ checks](#bounded-access-checks)).
1025
1037
 
1026
- Why: without a budget at real counts, a path that does one read per row ships,
1027
- and its first sign is a request that takes seconds in production.
1038
+ Why: JSON:API reads add queries per page and relationship field, so comparing
1039
+ two sizes separates that cost from a read per row, where one fixed number
1040
+ cannot.

- ### Time limits are not fixes
1053
-
1054
- **A slow test, suite, preparation or request is a defect to find, never a time
1055
- limit to raise. Measure where the time goes, fix that cause, and keep the
1056
- default limits.**
1057
-
1058
- - Raising `--test-timeout`, a test's `{ timeout }`, Playwright's `timeout`,
1059
- `test.setTimeout()` or an `expect` timeout, adding retries, or calling a
1060
- request in a loop until it answers hides the cause and lets it grow.
1061
- - Read the preparation phases' durations and the query counts first; the
1062
- cause is usually a read per row, a history-sized policy, or a database
1063
- prepared by replaying migrations ([Test databases are prepared
1064
- once](#test-databases-are-prepared-once)).
1065
- - A longer limit is right only for work that is long by nature, such as a
1066
- fixture of deliberate size, and the test names that work.
1067
- - A time limit still bounds every run, so a hang ends; it is not a speed
1068
- setting.
1069
-
1070
- Why: a raised limit absorbs today's slowness and every later one, until a run
1071
- takes hours and nobody knows which change made it slow.
1075
+ ### Test files run in parallel
1076
+
1077
+ **A test suite runs its files in parallel, as many at a time as the machine's
1078
+ test budget allows: never one file at a time, and never more than the machine
1079
+ can take. Node's test runner runs through `jskit test`; Playwright's `workers`
1080
+ and Vitest's `maxWorkers` come from `testConcurrency()`.**
1081
+
1082
+ - The budget is `V64_TEST_CONCURRENCY` when it is a positive whole number (a
1083
+ test runner that hands out slots exports it for each run), otherwise half of
1084
+ the machine's CPUs, rounded down and at least 1: a 2-vCPU VPS runs one file
1085
+ at a time, an 8-thread machine four.
1086
+ - `jskit test` (from `@jskit-ai/jskit-catalog`) passes its arguments to
1087
+ `node --test` and sets `--test-concurrency` to the budget.
1088
+ `testConcurrency()` from `@jskit-ai/jskit-catalog/test-budget` returns the
1089
+ same number for a config.
1090
+ - No script passes a fixed concurrency or worker count. `jskit check` fails a
1091
+ package script that runs `node --test` directly or passes one, and a
1092
+ Playwright or Vitest config those scripts use whose workers do not come from
1093
+ `testConcurrency()` ([test-run rules](#test-run-rules)).
1094
+ - Each file isolates what it shares: a port the system picks (`listen(0)`), a
1095
+ directory from `mkdtemp`, its own database or schema with a name no other
1096
+ file uses, its own Vite `cacheDir` for each dev server it starts (Vite
1097
+ replaces a shared dependency cache under servers still reading it), and no
1098
+ writes into the source tree. Files that collide are isolated, never
1099
+ serialised. A Playwright spec works on its own records, so
1100
+ specs can share one server.
1101
+ - A file that truly cannot run beside others, because it holds a resource of
1102
+ the whole machine, says why on its first line,
1103
+ `// jskit-test: alone - <reason>`. `jskit test` runs it after the others,
1104
+ one such file at a time, and fails on a marker without a reason or below the
1105
+ first line.
1106
+
1107
+ Why: `jskit test` and `testConcurrency()` read one budget, so every runner
1108
+ uses the machine without starving the other runs on it.
