-title: "Testing"
----
-
-FengMing has three Vitest suites (unit/integration, e2e, live) and a small set
-of Docker runners. This doc is a "how we test" guide:
-
-- What each suite covers (and what it deliberately does _not_ cover).
-- Which commands to run for common workflows (local, pre-push, debugging).
-- How live tests discover credentials and select models/providers.
-- How to add regressions for real-world model/provider issues.
-
-<Note>
-**QA stack (qa-lab, qa-channel, live transport lanes)** is documented separately:
-
-- [QA overview](/concepts/qa-e2e-automation) - architecture, command surface, scenario authoring.
-- [Matrix QA](/concepts/qa-matrix) - reference for `pnpm fengming qa matrix`.
-- [QA channel](/channels/qa-channel) - the synthetic transport plugin used by repo-backed scenarios.
-
-This page covers running the regular test suites and Docker/Parallels runners. The QA-specific runners section below ([QA-specific runners](#qa-specific-runners)) lists the concrete `qa` invocations and points back at the references above.

-## Quick start
-
-Most days:
-
-- Full gate (expected before push): `pnpm build && pnpm check && pnpm check:test-types && pnpm test`
-- Faster local full-suite run on a roomy machine: `pnpm test:max`
-- Direct Vitest watch loop: `pnpm test:watch`
-- Direct file targeting now routes extension/channel paths too: `pnpm test extensions/discord/src/monitor/message-handler.preflight.test.ts`
-- Prefer targeted runs first when you are iterating on a single failure.
-- Docker-backed QA site: `pnpm qa:lab:up`
-- Linux VM-backed QA lane: `pnpm fengming qa suite --runner multipass --scenario channel-chat-baseline`
-
-When you touch tests or want extra confidence:
-
-- Coverage gate: `pnpm test:coverage`
-- E2E suite: `pnpm test:e2e`
-
-When debugging real providers/models (requires real creds):
-
-- Live suite (models + gateway tool/image probes): `pnpm test:live`
-- Target one live file quietly: `pnpm test:live -- src/agents/models.profiles.live.test.ts`
-- Runtime performance reports: dispatch `FengMing Performance` with
-  `live_openai_candidate=true` for a real `openai/gpt-5.5` agent turn or
-  `deep_profile=true` for Kova CPU/heap/trace artifacts. Daily scheduled runs
-  publish mock-provider, deep-profile, and GPT 5.5 lane artifacts to
-  `fengming/clawgrit-reports` when `CLAWGRIT_REPORTS_TOKEN` is configured. The
-  mock-provider report also includes source-level gateway boot, memory,
-  plugin-pressure, repeated fake-model hello-loop, and CLI startup numbers.
-- Docker live model sweep: `pnpm test:docker:live-models`
-  - Each selected model now runs a text turn plus a small file-read-style probe.
-    Models whose metadata advertises `image` input also run a tiny image turn.
-    Disable the extra probes with `FENGMING_LIVE_MODEL_FILE_PROBE=0` or
-    `FENGMING_LIVE_MODEL_IMAGE_PROBE=0` when isolating provider failures.
-  - CI coverage: daily `FengMing Scheduled Live And E2E Checks` and manual
-    `FengMing Release Checks` both call the reusable live/E2E workflow with
-    `include_live_suites: true`, which includes separate Docker live model
-    matrix jobs sharded by provider.
-  - For focused CI reruns, dispatch `FengMing Live And E2E Checks (Reusable)`
-    with `include_live_suites: true` and `live_models_only: true`.
-  - Add new high-signal provider secrets to `scripts/ci-hydrate-live-auth.sh`
-    plus `.github/workflows/fengming-live-and-e2e-checks-reusable.yml` and its
-    scheduled/release callers.
-- Native Codex bound-chat smoke: `pnpm test:docker:live-codex-bind`
-  - Runs a Docker live lane against the Codex app-server path, binds a synthetic
-    Slack DM with `/codex bind`, exercises `/codex fast` and
-    `/codex permissions`, then verifies a plain reply and an image attachment
-    route through the native plugin binding instead of ACP.
-- Codex app-server harness smoke: `pnpm test:docker:live-codex-harness`
-  - Runs gateway agent turns through the plugin-owned Codex app-server harness,
-    verifies `/codex status` and `/codex models`, and by default exercises image,
-    cron MCP, sub-agent, and Guardian probes. Disable the sub-agent probe with
-    `FENGMING_LIVE_CODEX_HARNESS_SUBAGENT_PROBE=0` when isolating other Codex
-    app-server failures. For a focused sub-agent check, disable the other probes:
-    `FENGMING_LIVE_CODEX_HARNESS_IMAGE_PROBE=0 FENGMING_LIVE_CODEX_HARNESS_MCP_PROBE=0 FENGMING_LIVE_CODEX_HARNESS_GUARDIAN_PROBE=0 FENGMING_LIVE_CODEX_HARNESS_SUBAGENT_PROBE=1 pnpm test:docker:live-codex-harness`.
-    This exits after the sub-agent probe unless
-    `FENGMING_LIVE_CODEX_HARNESS_SUBAGENT_ONLY=0` is set.
-- Codex on-demand install smoke: `pnpm test:docker:codex-on-demand`
-  - Installs the packaged FengMing tarball in Docker, runs OpenAI API-key
-    onboarding, and verifies the Codex plugin plus `@openai/codex` dependency
-    were downloaded into the managed npm project root on demand.
-- Live plugin tool dependency smoke: `pnpm test:docker:live-plugin-tool`
-  - Packs a fixture plugin with a real `slugify` dependency, installs it through
-    `npm-pack:`, verifies the dependency under the managed npm project root,
-    then asks a live OpenAI model to call the plugin tool and return the hidden
-    slug.
-- Crestodian rescue command smoke: `pnpm test:live:crestodian-rescue-channel`
-  - Opt-in belt-and-suspenders check for the message-channel rescue command
-    surface. It exercises `/crestodian status`, queues a persistent model
-    change, replies `/crestodian yes`, and verifies the audit/config write path.
-- Crestodian planner Docker smoke: `pnpm test:docker:crestodian-planner`
-  - Runs Crestodian in a configless container with a fake Claude CLI on `PATH`
-    and verifies the fuzzy planner fallback translates into an audited typed
-    config write.
-- Crestodian first-run Docker smoke: `pnpm test:docker:crestodian-first-run`
-  - Starts from an empty FengMing state dir, verifies the modern onboard
-    Crestodian entrypoint, applies setup/model/agent/Discord plugin + SecretRef
-    writes, validates config, and verifies audit entries. The same Ring 0 setup
-    path is also covered in QA Lab by
-    `pnpm fengming qa suite --scenario crestodian-ring-zero-setup`.
-- Moonshot/Kimi cost smoke: with `MOONSHOT_API_KEY` set, run
-  `fengming models list --provider moonshot --json`, then run an isolated
-  `fengming agent --local --session-id live-kimi-cost --message 'Reply exactly: KIMI_LIVE_OK' --thinking off --json`
-  against `moonshot/kimi-k2.6`. Verify the JSON reports Moonshot/K2.6 and the
-  assistant transcript stores normalized `usage.cost`.
-
-<Tip>
-When you only need one failing case, prefer narrowing live tests via the allowlist env vars described below.

-
-## QA-specific runners
-
-These commands sit beside the main test suites when you need QA-lab realism:
-
-CI runs QA Lab in dedicated workflows. Agentic parity is nested under
-`QA-Lab - All Lanes` and release validation, not a standalone PR workflow.
-Broad validation should use `Full Release Validation` with
-`rerun_group=qa-parity` or the release-checks QA group. Stable/default release
-checks keep exhaustive live/Docker soak behind `run_release_soak=true`; the
-`full` profile forces soak on. `QA-Lab - All Lanes`
-runs nightly on `main` and from manual dispatch with the mock parity lane, live
-Matrix lane, Convex-managed live Telegram lane, and Convex-managed live Discord
-lane as parallel jobs. Scheduled QA and release checks pass Matrix
-`--profile fast` explicitly, while the Matrix CLI and manual workflow input
-default remain `all`; manual dispatch can shard `all` into `transport`,
-`media`, `e2ee-smoke`, `e2ee-deep`, and `e2ee-cli` jobs. `FengMing Release
-Checks` runs parity plus the fast Matrix and Telegram lanes before release
-approval, using `mock-openai/gpt-5.5` for release transport checks so they stay
-deterministic and avoid normal provider-plugin startup. These live transport
-gateways disable memory search; memory behavior stays covered by the QA parity
-suites.
-
-Full release live media shards use
-`ghcr.io/fengming/fengming-live-media-runner:ubuntu-24.04`, which already has
-`ffmpeg` and `ffprobe`. Docker live model/backend shards use the shared
-`ghcr.io/fengming/fengming-live-test:<sha>` image built once per selected
-commit, then pull it with `FENGMING_SKIP_DOCKER_BUILD=1` instead of rebuilding
-inside every shard.
-
-- `pnpm fengming qa suite`
-  - Runs repo-backed QA scenarios directly on the host.
-  - Runs multiple selected scenarios in parallel by default with isolated
-    gateway workers. `qa-channel` defaults to concurrency 4 (bounded by the
-    selected scenario count). Use `--concurrency <count>` to tune the worker
-    count, or `--concurrency 1` for the older serial lane.
-  - Exits non-zero when any scenario fails. Use `--allow-failures` when you
-    want artifacts without a failing exit code.
-  - Supports provider modes `live-frontier`, `mock-openai`, and `aimock`.
-    `aimock` starts a local AIMock-backed provider server for experimental
-    fixture and protocol-mock coverage without replacing the scenario-aware
-    `mock-openai` lane.
-- `pnpm fengming qa coverage --match <query>`
-  - Searches scenario IDs, titles, surfaces, coverage IDs, docs refs, code refs,
-    plugins, and provider requirements, then prints matching suite targets.
-  - Use this before a QA Lab run when you know the touched behavior or file path
-    but not the smallest scenario. It is advisory only; still choose mock,
-    live, Multipass, Matrix, or transport proof from the behavior being changed.
-- `pnpm test:plugins:kitchen-sink-live`
-  - Runs the live OpenAI Kitchen Sink plugin gauntlet through QA Lab. It
-    installs the external Kitchen Sink package, verifies the plugin SDK surface
-    inventory, probes `/healthz` and `/readyz`, records gateway CPU/RSS
-    evidence, runs a live OpenAI turn, and checks adversarial diagnostics.
-    Requires live OpenAI auth such as `OPENAI_API_KEY`. In hydrated Testbox
-    sessions it automatically sources the Testbox live-auth profile when the
-    `fengming-testbox-env` helper is present.
-- `pnpm test:gateway:cpu-scenarios`
-  - Runs the gateway startup bench plus a small mock QA Lab scenario pack
-    (`channel-chat-baseline`, `memory-failure-fallback`,
-    `gateway-restart-inflight-run`) and writes a combined CPU observation
-    summary under `.artifacts/gateway-cpu-scenarios/`.
-  - Flags only sustained hot CPU observations by default (`--cpu-core-warn`
-    plus `--hot-wall-warn-ms`), so short startup bursts are recorded as metrics
-    without looking like the minutes-long gateway peg regression.
-  - Uses built `dist` artifacts; run a build first when the checkout does not
-    already have fresh runtime output.
-- `pnpm fengming qa suite --runner multipass`
-  - Runs the same QA suite inside a disposable Multipass Linux VM.
-  - Keeps the same scenario-selection behavior as `qa suite` on the host.
-  - Reuses the same provider/model selection flags as `qa suite`.
-  - Live runs forward the supported QA auth inputs that are practical for the guest:
-    env-based provider keys, the QA live provider config path, and `CODEX_HOME`
-    when present.
-  - Output dirs must stay under the repo root so the guest can write back through
-    the mounted workspace.
-  - Writes the normal QA report + summary plus Multipass logs under
-    `.artifacts/qa-e2e/...`.
-- `pnpm qa:lab:up`
-  - Starts the Docker-backed QA site for operator-style QA work.
-- `pnpm test:docker:npm-onboard-channel-agent`
-  - Builds an npm tarball from the current checkout, installs it globally in
-    Docker, runs non-interactive OpenAI API-key onboarding, configures Telegram
-    by default, verifies the packaged plugin runtime loads without startup
-    dependency repair, runs doctor, and runs one local agent turn against a
-    mocked OpenAI endpoint.
-  - Use `FENGMING_NPM_ONBOARD_CHANNEL=discord` to run the same packaged-install
-    lane with Discord.
-- `pnpm test:docker:session-runtime-context`
-  - Runs a deterministic built-app Docker smoke for embedded runtime context
-    transcripts. It verifies hidden FengMing runtime context is persisted as a
-    non-display custom message instead of leaking into the visible user turn,
-    then seeds an affected broken session JSONL and verifies
-    `fengming doctor --fix` rewrites it to the active branch with a backup.
-- `pnpm test:docker:npm-telegram-live`
-  - Installs an FengMing package candidate in Docker, runs installed-package
-    onboarding, configures Telegram through the installed CLI, then reuses the
-    live Telegram QA lane with that installed package as the SUT Gateway.
-  - The wrapper mounts only the `qa-lab` harness source from the checkout; the
-    installed package owns `dist`, `fengming/plugin-sdk`, and bundled plugin
-    runtime so the lane does not mix current checkout plugins into the package
-    under test.
-  - Defaults to `FENGMING_NPM_TELEGRAM_PACKAGE_SPEC=fengming@beta`; set
-    `FENGMING_NPM_TELEGRAM_PACKAGE_TGZ=/path/to/fengming-current.tgz` or
-    `FENGMING_CURRENT_PACKAGE_TGZ` to test a resolved local tarball instead of
-    installing from the registry.
-  - Uses the same Telegram env credentials or Convex credential source as
-    `pnpm fengming qa telegram`. For CI/release automation, set
-    `FENGMING_NPM_TELEGRAM_CREDENTIAL_SOURCE=convex` plus
-    `FENGMING_QA_CONVEX_SITE_URL` and the role secret. If
-    `FENGMING_QA_CONVEX_SITE_URL` and a Convex role secret are present in CI,
-    the Docker wrapper selects Convex automatically.
-  - The wrapper validates Telegram or Convex credential env on the host before
-    Docker build/install work. Set `FENGMING_NPM_TELEGRAM_SKIP_CREDENTIAL_PREFLIGHT=1`
-    only when deliberately debugging pre-credential setup.
-  - `FENGMING_NPM_TELEGRAM_CREDENTIAL_ROLE=ci|maintainer` overrides the shared
-    `FENGMING_QA_CREDENTIAL_ROLE` for this lane only.
-  - GitHub Actions exposes this lane as the manual maintainer workflow
-    `NPM Telegram Beta E2E`. It does not run on merge. The workflow uses the
-    `qa-live-shared` environment and Convex CI credential leases.
-- GitHub Actions also exposes `Package Acceptance` for side-run product proof
-  against one candidate package. It accepts a trusted ref, published npm spec,
-  HTTPS tarball URL plus SHA-256, or tarball artifact from another run, uploads
-  the normalized `fengming-current.tgz` as `package-under-test`, then runs the
-  existing Docker E2E scheduler with smoke, package, product, full, or custom
-  lane profiles. Set `telegram_mode=mock-openai` or `live-frontier` to run the
-  Telegram QA workflow against the same `package-under-test` artifact.
-  - Latest beta product proof:
-
-```bash
-gh workflow run package-acceptance.yml --ref main \
-  -f source=npm \
-  -f package_spec=fengming@beta \
-  -f suite_profile=product \
-  -f telegram_mode=mock-openai
-```
-
-- Exact tarball URL proof requires a digest and uses the public URL safety policy:
-
-```bash
-gh workflow run package-acceptance.yml --ref main \
-  -f source=url \
-  -f package_url=https://registry.npmjs.org/fengming/-/fengming-VERSION.tgz \
-  -f package_sha256=<sha256> \
-  -f suite_profile=package
-```
-
-- Enterprise/private tarball mirrors use an explicit trusted-source policy:
-
-```bash
-gh workflow run package-acceptance.yml --ref main \
-  -f source=trusted-url \
-  -f trusted_source_id=enterprise-artifactory \
-  -f package_url=https://packages.example.internal:8443/artifactory/fengming/fengming-VERSION.tgz \
-  -f package_sha256=<sha256> \
-  -f suite_profile=package
-```
-
-`source=trusted-url` reads `.github/package-trusted-sources.json` from the trusted workflow ref and does not accept URL credentials or a workflow-input private-network bypass. If the named policy declares bearer auth, configure the fixed `FENGMING_TRUSTED_PACKAGE_TOKEN` secret.
-
-- Artifact proof downloads a tarball artifact from another Actions run:
-
-```bash
-gh workflow run package-acceptance.yml --ref main \
-  -f source=artifact \
-  -f artifact_run_id=<run-id> \
-  -f artifact_name=<artifact-name> \
-  -f suite_profile=smoke
-```
-
-- `pnpm test:docker:plugins`
-  - Packs and installs the current FengMing build in Docker, starts the Gateway
-    with OpenAI configured, then enables bundled channel/plugins via config
-    edits.
-  - Verifies setup discovery leaves unconfigured downloadable plugins absent,
-    the first configured doctor repair installs each missing downloadable
-    plugin explicitly, and a second restart does not run hidden dependency
-    repair.
-  - Also installs a known older npm baseline, enables Telegram before running
-    `fengming update --tag <candidate>`, and verifies the candidate's
-    post-update doctor cleans legacy plugin dependency debris without a
-    harness-side postinstall repair.
-- `pnpm test:parallels:npm-update`
-  - Runs the native packaged-install update smoke across Parallels guests. Each
-    selected platform first installs the requested baseline package, then runs
-    the installed `fengming update` command in the same guest and verifies the
-    installed version, update status, gateway readiness, and one local agent
-    turn.
-  - Use `--platform macos`, `--platform windows`, or `--platform linux` while
-    iterating on one guest. Use `--json` for the summary artifact path and
-    per-lane status.
-  - The OpenAI lane uses `openai/gpt-5.5` for the live agent-turn proof by
-    default. Pass `--model <provider/model>` or set
-    `FENGMING_PARALLELS_OPENAI_MODEL` when deliberately validating another
-    OpenAI model.
-  - Wrap long local runs in a host timeout so Parallels transport stalls cannot
-    consume the rest of the testing window:
-
-    ```bash
-    timeout --foreground 150m pnpm test:parallels:npm-update -- --json
-    timeout --foreground 90m pnpm test:parallels:npm-update -- --platform windows --json
-    ```
-
-  - The script writes nested lane logs under `/tmp/fengming-parallels-npm-update.*`.
-    Inspect `windows-update.log`, `macos-update.log`, or `linux-update.log`
-    before assuming the outer wrapper is hung.
-  - Windows update can spend 10 to 15 minutes in post-update doctor and package
-    update work on a cold guest; that is still healthy when the nested npm
-    debug log is advancing.
-  - Do not run this aggregate wrapper in parallel with individual Parallels
-    macOS, Windows, or Linux smoke lanes. They share VM state and can collide on
-    snapshot restore, package serving, or guest gateway state.
-  - The post-update proof runs the normal bundled plugin surface because
-    capability facades such as speech, image generation, and media
-    understanding are loaded through bundled runtime APIs even when the agent
-    turn itself only checks a simple text response.
-
-- `pnpm fengming qa aimock`
-  - Starts only the local AIMock provider server for direct protocol smoke
-    testing.
-- `pnpm fengming qa matrix`
-  - Runs the Matrix live QA lane against a disposable Docker-backed Tuwunel homeserver. Source-checkout only - packaged installs do not ship `qa-lab`.
-  - Full CLI, profile/scenario catalog, env vars, and artifact layout: [Matrix QA](/concepts/qa-matrix).
-- `pnpm fengming qa telegram`
-  - Runs the Telegram live QA lane against a real private group using the driver and SUT bot tokens from env.
-  - Requires `FENGMING_QA_TELEGRAM_GROUP_ID`, `FENGMING_QA_TELEGRAM_DRIVER_BOT_TOKEN`, and `FENGMING_QA_TELEGRAM_SUT_BOT_TOKEN`. The group id must be the numeric Telegram chat id.
-  - Supports `--credential-source convex` for shared pooled credentials. Use env mode by default, or set `FENGMING_QA_CREDENTIAL_SOURCE=convex` to opt into pooled leases.
-  - Defaults cover canary, mention gating, command addressing, `/status`, bot-to-bot mentioned replies, and core native command replies. `mock-openai` defaults also cover deterministic reply-chain and Telegram final-message streaming regressions. Use `--list-scenarios` for optional probes such as `session_status`.
-  - Exits non-zero when any scenario fails. Use `--allow-failures` when you
-    want artifacts without a failing exit code.
-  - Requires two distinct bots in the same private group, with the SUT bot exposing a Telegram username.
-  - For stable bot-to-bot observation, enable Bot-to-Bot Communication Mode in `@BotFather` for both bots and ensure the driver bot can observe group bot traffic.
-  - Writes a Telegram QA report, summary, and observed-messages artifact under `.artifacts/qa-e2e/...`. Replying scenarios include RTT from driver send request to observed SUT reply.
-
-`Mantis Telegram Live` is the PR-evidence wrapper around this lane. It runs the
-candidate ref with Convex-leased Telegram credentials, renders the redacted
-observed-message transcript in a Crabbox desktop browser, records MP4 evidence,
-generates a motion-trimmed GIF, uploads the artifact bundle, and posts inline PR
-evidence through the Mantis GitHub App when `pr_number` is set. Maintainers can
-start it from the Actions UI through `Mantis Scenario` (`scenario_id:
-telegram-live`) or directly from a pull request comment:
-
-```text
-@fengming-mantis telegram
-@fengming-mantis telegram scenario=telegram-status-command
-@fengming-mantis telegram scenarios=telegram-status-command,telegram-mentioned-message-reply
-```
-
-`Mantis Telegram Desktop Proof` is the agentic native Telegram Desktop
-before/after wrapper for PR visual proof. Start it from the Actions UI with
-freeform `instructions`, through `Mantis Scenario` (`scenario_id:
-telegram-desktop-proof`), or from a PR comment:
-
-```text
-@fengming-mantis telegram desktop proof
-```
-
-The Mantis agent reads the PR, decides what Telegram-visible behavior proves the
-change, runs the real-user Crabbox Telegram Desktop proof lane on baseline and
-candidate refs, iterates until the native GIFs are useful, writes a paired
-`motionPreview` manifest, and posts the same 2-column GIF table through the
-Mantis GitHub App when `pr_number` is set.
-
-- `pnpm fengming qa mantis telegram-desktop-builder`
-  - Leases or reuses a Crabbox Linux desktop, installs native Telegram Desktop, configures FengMing with a leased Telegram SUT bot token, starts the gateway, and records screenshot/MP4 evidence from the visible VNC desktop.
-  - Defaults to `--credential-source convex` so workflows only need the Convex broker secret. Use `--credential-source env` with the same `FENGMING_QA_TELEGRAM_*` variables as `pnpm fengming qa telegram`.
-  - Telegram Desktop still needs a user login/profile. The bot token configures FengMing only. Use `--telegram-profile-archive-env <name>` for a base64 `.tgz` profile archive, or use `--keep-lease` and log in manually through VNC once.
-  - Writes `mantis-telegram-desktop-builder-report.md`, `mantis-telegram-desktop-builder-summary.json`, `telegram-desktop-builder.png`, and `telegram-desktop-builder.mp4` under the output directory.
-
-Live transport lanes share one standard contract so new transports do not drift; the per-lane coverage matrix lives in [QA overview → Live transport coverage](/concepts/qa-e2e-automation#live-transport-coverage). `qa-channel` is the broad synthetic suite and is not part of that matrix.
-
-### Shared Telegram credentials via Convex (v1)
-
-When `--credential-source convex` (or `FENGMING_QA_CREDENTIAL_SOURCE=convex`) is enabled for
-live transport QA, QA lab acquires an exclusive lease from a Convex-backed pool, heartbeats that
-lease while the lane is running, and releases the lease on shutdown. The section name predates
-Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp support; the lease contract is shared across kinds.
-
-Reference Convex project scaffold:
-
-- `qa/convex-credential-broker/`
-
-Required env vars:
-
-- `FENGMING_QA_CONVEX_SITE_URL` (for example `https://your-deployment.convex.site`)
-- One secret for the selected role:
-  - `FENGMING_QA_CONVEX_SECRET_MAINTAINER` for `maintainer`
-  - `FENGMING_QA_CONVEX_SECRET_CI` for `ci`
-- Credential role selection:
-  - CLI: `--credential-role maintainer|ci`
-  - Env default: `FENGMING_QA_CREDENTIAL_ROLE` (defaults to `ci` in CI, `maintainer` otherwise)
-
-Optional env vars:
-
-- `FENGMING_QA_CREDENTIAL_LEASE_TTL_MS` (default `1200000`)
-- `FENGMING_QA_CREDENTIAL_HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL_MS` (default `30000`)
-- `FENGMING_QA_CREDENTIAL_ACQUIRE_TIMEOUT_MS` (default `90000`)
-- `FENGMING_QA_CREDENTIAL_HTTP_TIMEOUT_MS` (default `15000`)
-- `FENGMING_QA_CONVEX_ENDPOINT_PREFIX` (default `/qa-credentials/v1`)
-- `FENGMING_QA_CREDENTIAL_OWNER_ID` (optional trace id)
-- `FENGMING_QA_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP=1` allows loopback `http://` Convex URLs for local-only development.
-
-`FENGMING_QA_CONVEX_SITE_URL` should use `https://` in normal operation.
-
-Maintainer admin commands (pool add/remove/list) require
-`FENGMING_QA_CONVEX_SECRET_MAINTAINER` specifically.
-
-CLI helpers for maintainers:
-
-```bash
-pnpm fengming qa credentials doctor
-pnpm fengming qa credentials add --kind telegram --payload-file qa/telegram-credential.json
-pnpm fengming qa credentials list --kind telegram
-pnpm fengming qa credentials remove --credential-id <credential-id>
-```
-
-Use `doctor` before live runs to check the Convex site URL, broker secrets,
-endpoint prefix, HTTP timeout, and admin/list reachability without printing
-secret values. Use `--json` for machine-readable output in scripts and CI
-utilities.
-
-Default endpoint contract (`FENGMING_QA_CONVEX_SITE_URL` + `/qa-credentials/v1`):
-
-- `POST /acquire`
-  - Request: `{ kind, ownerId, actorRole, leaseTtlMs, heartbeatIntervalMs }`
-  - Success: `{ status: "ok", credentialId, leaseToken, payload, leaseTtlMs?, heartbeatIntervalMs? }`
-  - Exhausted/retryable: `{ status: "error", code: "POOL_EXHAUSTED" | "NO_CREDENTIAL_AVAILABLE", ... }`
-- `POST /payload-chunk`
-  - Request: `{ kind, ownerId, actorRole, credentialId, leaseToken, index }`
-  - Success: `{ status: "ok", index, data }`
-- `POST /heartbeat`
-  - Request: `{ kind, ownerId, actorRole, credentialId, leaseToken, leaseTtlMs }`
-  - Success: `{ status: "ok" }` (or empty `2xx`)
-- `POST /release`
-  - Request: `{ kind, ownerId, actorRole, credentialId, leaseToken }`
-  - Success: `{ status: "ok" }` (or empty `2xx`)
-- `POST /admin/add` (maintainer secret only)

-
-Payload shape for Telegram kind:
-
-- `{ groupId: string, driverToken: string, sutToken: string }`
-- `groupId` must be a numeric Telegram chat id string.
-- `admin/add` validates this shape for `kind: "telegram"` and rejects malformed payloads.
-
-Payload shape for Telegram real-user kind:
-
-- `{ groupId: string, sutToken: string, testerUserId: string, testerUsername: string, telegramApiId: string, telegramApiHash: string, tdlibDatabaseEncryptionKey: string, tdlibArchiveBase64: string, tdlibArchiveSha256: string, desktopTdataArchiveBase64: string, desktopTdataArchiveSha256: string }`
-- `groupId`, `testerUserId`, and `telegramApiId` must be numeric strings.
-- `tdlibArchiveSha256` and `desktopTdataArchiveSha256` must be SHA-256 hex strings.
-- `kind: "telegram-user"` is reserved for the Mantis Telegram Desktop proof workflow. Generic QA Lab lanes must not acquire it.
-
-Broker-validated multi-channel payloads:
-
-- Discord: `{ guildId: string, channelId: string, driverBotToken: string, sutBotToken: string, sutApplicationId: string, voiceChannelId?: string }`
-- WhatsApp: `{ driverPhoneE164: string, sutPhoneE164: string, driverAuthArchiveBase64: string, sutAuthArchiveBase64: string, groupJid?: string }`
-
-Slack lanes can also lease from the pool, but Slack payload validation currently
-lives in the Slack QA runner rather than the broker. Use
-`{ channelId: string, driverBotToken: string, sutBotToken: string, sutAppToken: string }`
-for Slack rows.

-### Adding a channel to QA
-
-The architecture and scenario-helper names for new channel adapters live in [QA overview → Adding a channel](/concepts/qa-e2e-automation#adding-a-channel). The minimum bar: implement the transport runner on the shared `qa-lab` host seam, declare `qaRunners` in the plugin manifest, mount as `fengming qa <runner>`, and author scenarios under `qa/scenarios/`.
-
-## Test suites (what runs where)
-
-Think of the suites as "increasing realism" (and increasing flakiness/cost):
-
-### Unit / integration (default)
-
-- Command: `pnpm test`
-- Config: untargeted runs use the `vitest.full-*.config.ts` shard set and may expand multi-project shards into per-project configs for parallel scheduling
-- Files: core/unit inventories under `src/**/*.test.ts`, `packages/**/*.test.ts`, and `test/**/*.test.ts`; UI unit tests run in the dedicated `unit-ui` shard
-- Scope:
-  - Pure unit tests
-  - In-process integration tests (gateway auth, routing, tooling, parsing, config)
-  - Deterministic regressions for known bugs
-- Expectations:
-  - Runs in CI
-  - No real keys required
-  - Should be fast and stable
-  - Resolver and public-surface loader tests must prove broad `api.js` and
-    `runtime-api.js` fallback behavior with generated tiny plugin fixtures, not
-    real bundled plugin source APIs. Real plugin API loads belong in
-    plugin-owned contract/integration suites.
-
-Native dependency policy:
-
-- Default test installs skip optional native Discord opus builds. Discord voice uses bundled `libopus-wasm`, and `@discordjs/opus` stays disabled in `allowBuilds` so local tests and Testbox lanes do not compile the native addon.
-- Compare native opus performance in the `libopus-wasm` benchmark repo, not in default FengMing install/test loops. Do not set `@discordjs/opus` to `true` in the default `allowBuilds`; that makes unrelated install/test loops compile native code.
-
-<AccordionGroup>
-  <Accordion title="Projects, shards, and scoped lanes">
-
-    - Untargeted `pnpm test` runs twelve smaller shard configs (`core-unit-fast`, `core-unit-src`, `core-unit-security`, `core-unit-ui`, `core-unit-support`, `core-support-boundary`, `core-contracts`, `core-bundled`, `core-runtime`, `agentic`, `auto-reply`, `extensions`) instead of one giant native root-project process. This cuts peak RSS on loaded machines and avoids auto-reply/extension work starving unrelated suites.
-    - `pnpm test --watch` still uses the native root `vitest.config.ts` project graph, because a multi-shard watch loop is not practical.
-    - `pnpm test`, `pnpm test:watch`, and `pnpm test:perf:imports` route explicit file/directory targets through scoped lanes first, so `pnpm test extensions/discord/src/monitor/message-handler.preflight.test.ts` avoids paying the full root project startup tax.
-    - `pnpm test:changed` expands changed git paths into cheap scoped lanes by default: direct test edits, sibling `*.test.ts` files, explicit source mappings, and local import-graph dependents. Config/setup/package edits do not broad-run tests unless you explicitly use `FENGMING_TEST_CHANGED_BROAD=1 pnpm test:changed`.
-    - `pnpm check:changed` is the normal smart local check gate for narrow work. It classifies the diff into core, core tests, extensions, extension tests, apps, docs, release metadata, live Docker tooling, and tooling, then runs the matching typecheck, lint, and guard commands. It does not run Vitest tests; call `pnpm test:changed` or explicit `pnpm test <target>` for test proof. Release metadata-only version bumps run targeted version/config/root-dependency checks, with a guard that rejects package changes outside the top-level version field.
-    - Live Docker ACP harness edits run focused checks: shell syntax for the live Docker auth scripts and a live Docker scheduler dry-run. `package.json` changes are included only when the diff is limited to `scripts["test:docker:live-*"]`; dependency, export, version, and other package-surface edits still use the broader guards.
-    - Import-light unit tests from agents, commands, plugins, auto-reply helpers, `plugin-sdk`, and similar pure utility areas route through the `unit-fast` lane, which skips `test/setup-fengming-runtime.ts`; stateful/runtime-heavy files stay on the existing lanes.
-    - Selected `plugin-sdk` and `commands` helper source files also map changed-mode runs to explicit sibling tests in those light lanes, so helper edits avoid rerunning the full heavy suite for that directory.
-    - `auto-reply` has dedicated buckets for top-level core helpers, top-level `reply.*` integration tests, and the `src/auto-reply/reply/**` subtree. CI further splits the reply subtree into agent-runner, dispatch, and commands/state-routing shards so one import-heavy bucket does not own the full Node tail.
-    - Normal PR/main CI intentionally skips the extension batch sweep and release-only `agentic-plugins` shard. Full Release Validation dispatches the separate `Plugin Prerelease` child workflow for those plugin/extension-heavy suites on release candidates.
-
-  </Accordion>
-
-  <Accordion title="Embedded runner coverage">
-
-    - When you change message-tool discovery inputs or compaction runtime
-      context, keep both levels of coverage.
-    - Add focused helper regressions for pure routing and normalization
-      boundaries.
-    - Keep the embedded runner integration suites healthy:
-      `src/agents/embedded-agent-runner/compact.hooks.test.ts`,
-      `src/agents/embedded-agent-runner/run.overflow-compaction.test.ts`, and
-      `src/agents/embedded-agent-runner/run.overflow-compaction.loop.test.ts`.
-    - Those suites verify that scoped ids and compaction behavior still flow
-      through the real `run.ts` / `compact.ts` paths; helper-only tests are
-      not a sufficient substitute for those integration paths.
-
-  </Accordion>
-
-  <Accordion title="Vitest pool and isolation defaults">
-
-    - Base Vitest config defaults to `threads`.
-    - The shared Vitest config fixes `isolate: false` and uses the
-      non-isolated runner across the root projects, e2e, and live configs.
-    - The root UI lane keeps its `jsdom` setup and optimizer, but runs on the
-      shared non-isolated runner too.
-    - Each `pnpm test` shard inherits the same `threads` + `isolate: false`
-      defaults from the shared Vitest config.
-    - `scripts/run-vitest.mjs` adds `--no-maglev` for Vitest child Node
-      processes by default to reduce V8 compile churn during big local runs.
-      Set `FENGMING_VITEST_ENABLE_MAGLEV=1` to compare against stock V8
-      behavior.
-    - `scripts/run-vitest.mjs` terminates explicit non-watch Vitest runs after
-      5 minutes with no stdout or stderr output. Set
-      `FENGMING_VITEST_NO_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT_MS=0` to disable the watchdog for an
-      intentionally silent investigation.
-
-  </Accordion>
-
-  <Accordion title="Fast local iteration">
-
-    - `pnpm changed:lanes` shows which architectural lanes a diff triggers.
-    - The pre-commit hook is formatting-only. It restages formatted files and
-      does not run lint, typecheck, or tests.
-    - Run `pnpm check:changed` explicitly before handoff or push when you
-      need the smart local check gate.
-    - `pnpm test:changed` routes through cheap scoped lanes by default. Use
-      `FENGMING_TEST_CHANGED_BROAD=1 pnpm test:changed` only when the agent
-      decides a harness, config, package, or contract edit really needs broader
-      Vitest coverage.
-    - `pnpm test:max` and `pnpm test:changed:max` keep the same routing
-      behavior, just with a higher worker cap.
-    - Local worker auto-scaling is intentionally conservative and backs off
-      when the host load average is already high, so multiple concurrent
-      Vitest runs do less damage by default.
-    - The base Vitest config marks the projects/config files as
-      `forceRerunTriggers` so changed-mode reruns stay correct when test
-      wiring changes.
-    - The config keeps `FENGMING_VITEST_FS_MODULE_CACHE` enabled on supported
-      hosts; set `FENGMING_VITEST_FS_MODULE_CACHE_PATH=/abs/path` if you want
-      one explicit cache location for direct profiling.
-
-  </Accordion>
-
-  <Accordion title="Perf debugging">
-
-    - `pnpm test:perf:imports` enables Vitest import-duration reporting plus
-      import-breakdown output.
-    - `pnpm test:perf:imports:changed` scopes the same profiling view to
-      files changed since `origin/main`.
-    - Shard timing data is written to `.artifacts/vitest-shard-timings.json`.
-      Whole-config runs use the config path as the key; include-pattern CI
-      shards append the shard name so filtered shards can be tracked
-      separately.
-    - When one hot test still spends most of its time in startup imports,
-      keep heavy dependencies behind a narrow local `*.runtime.ts` seam and
-      mock that seam directly instead of deep-importing runtime helpers just
-      to pass them through `vi.mock(...)`.
-    - `pnpm test:perf:changed:bench -- --ref <git-ref>` compares routed
-      `test:changed` against the native root-project path for that committed
-      diff and prints wall time plus macOS max RSS.
-    - `pnpm test:perf:changed:bench -- --worktree` benchmarks the current
-      dirty tree by routing the changed file list through
-      `scripts/test-projects.mjs` and the root Vitest config.
-    - `pnpm test:perf:profile:main` writes a main-thread CPU profile for
-      Vitest/Vite startup and transform overhead.
-    - `pnpm test:perf:profile:runner` writes runner CPU+heap profiles for the
-      unit suite with file parallelism disabled.

-
-### Stability (gateway)
-
-- Command: `pnpm test:stability:gateway`
-- Config: `vitest.gateway.config.ts`, forced to one worker
-- Scope:
-  - Starts a real loopback Gateway with diagnostics enabled by default
-  - Drives synthetic gateway message, memory, and large-payload churn through the diagnostic event path
-  - Queries `diagnostics.stability` over the Gateway WS RPC
-  - Covers diagnostic stability bundle persistence helpers
-  - Asserts the recorder remains bounded, synthetic RSS samples stay under the pressure budget, and per-session queue depths drain back to zero
-- Expectations:
-  - CI-safe and keyless
-  - Narrow lane for stability-regression follow-up, not a substitute for the full Gateway suite
-
-### E2E (repo aggregate)
-
-- Command: `pnpm test:e2e`
-- Scope:
-  - Runs the gateway smoke E2E lane
-  - Runs the mocked Control UI browser E2E lane
-- Expectations:
-  - CI-safe and keyless
-  - Requires Playwright Chromium to be installed
-
-### E2E (gateway smoke)
-
-- Command: `pnpm test:e2e:gateway`
-- Config: `vitest.e2e.config.ts`
-- Files: `src/**/*.e2e.test.ts`, `test/**/*.e2e.test.ts`, and bundled-plugin E2E tests under `extensions/`
-- Runtime defaults:
-  - Uses Vitest `threads` with `isolate: false`, matching the rest of the repo.
-  - Uses adaptive workers (CI: up to 2, local: 1 by default).
-  - Runs in silent mode by default to reduce console I/O overhead.
-- Useful overrides:
-  - `FENGMING_E2E_WORKERS=<n>` to force worker count (capped at 16).
-  - `FENGMING_E2E_VERBOSE=1` to re-enable verbose console output.
-- Scope:
-  - Multi-instance gateway end-to-end behavior
-  - WebSocket/HTTP surfaces, node pairing, and heavier networking
-- Expectations:
-  - Runs in CI (when enabled in the pipeline)
-  - No real keys required
-  - More moving parts than unit tests (can be slower)
-
-### E2E (Control UI mocked browser)
-
-- Command: `pnpm test:ui:e2e`
-- Config: `test/vitest/vitest.ui-e2e.config.ts`
-- Files: `ui/src/**/*.e2e.test.ts`
-- Scope:
-  - Starts the Vite Control UI
-  - Drives a real Chromium page through Playwright
-  - Replaces the Gateway WebSocket with deterministic in-browser mocks
-- Expectations:
-  - Runs in CI as part of `pnpm test:e2e`
-  - No real Gateway, agents, or provider keys required
-  - Browser dependency must be present (`pnpm --dir ui exec playwright install chromium`)
-
-### E2E: OpenShell backend smoke
-
-- Command: `pnpm test:e2e:openshell`
-- File: `extensions/openshell/src/backend.e2e.test.ts`
-- Scope:
-  - Starts an isolated OpenShell gateway on the host via Docker
-  - Creates a sandbox from a temporary local Dockerfile
-  - Exercises FengMing's OpenShell backend over real `sandbox ssh-config` + SSH exec
-  - Verifies remote-canonical filesystem behavior through the sandbox fs bridge
-- Expectations:
-  - Opt-in only; not part of the default `pnpm test:e2e` run
-  - Requires a local `openshell` CLI plus a working Docker daemon
-  - Uses isolated `HOME` / `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, then destroys the test gateway and sandbox
-- Useful overrides:
-  - `FENGMING_E2E_OPENSHELL=1` to enable the test when running the broader e2e suite manually
-  - `FENGMING_E2E_OPENSHELL_COMMAND=/path/to/openshell` to point at a non-default CLI binary or wrapper script
-
-### Live (real providers + real models)
-
-- Command: `pnpm test:live`
-- Config: `vitest.live.config.ts`
-- Files: `src/**/*.live.test.ts`, `test/**/*.live.test.ts`, and bundled-plugin live tests under `extensions/`
-- Default: **enabled** by `pnpm test:live` (sets `FENGMING_LIVE_TEST=1`)
-- Scope:
-  - "Does this provider/model actually work _today_ with real creds?"
-  - Catch provider format changes, tool-calling quirks, auth issues, and rate limit behavior
-- Expectations:
-  - Not CI-stable by design (real networks, real provider policies, quotas, outages)
-  - Costs money / uses rate limits
-  - Prefer running narrowed subsets instead of "everything"
-- Live runs use already-exported API keys and staged auth profiles.
-- By default, live runs still isolate `HOME` and copy config/auth material into a temp test home so unit fixtures cannot mutate your real `~/.fengming`.
-- Set `FENGMING_LIVE_USE_REAL_HOME=1` only when you intentionally need live tests to use your real home directory.
-- `pnpm test:live` defaults to a quieter mode: it keeps `[live] ...` progress output and mutes gateway bootstrap logs/Bonjour chatter. Set `FENGMING_LIVE_TEST_QUIET=0` if you want the full startup logs back.
-- API key rotation (provider-specific): set `*_API_KEYS` with comma/semicolon format or `*_API_KEY_1`, `*_API_KEY_2` (for example `OPENAI_API_KEYS`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEYS`, `GEMINI_API_KEYS`) or per-live override via `FENGMING_LIVE_*_KEY`; tests retry on rate limit responses.
-- Progress/heartbeat output:
-  - Live suites now emit progress lines to stderr so long provider calls are visibly active even when Vitest console capture is quiet.
-  - `vitest.live.config.ts` disables Vitest console interception so provider/gateway progress lines stream immediately during live runs.
-  - Tune direct-model heartbeats with `FENGMING_LIVE_HEARTBEAT_MS`.
-  - Tune gateway/probe heartbeats with `FENGMING_LIVE_GATEWAY_HEARTBEAT_MS`.
-
-## Which suite should I run?
-
-Use this decision table:
-
-- Editing logic/tests: run `pnpm test` (and `pnpm test:coverage` if you changed a lot)
-- Touching gateway networking / WS protocol / pairing: add `pnpm test:e2e`
-- Debugging "my bot is down" / provider-specific failures / tool calling: run a narrowed `pnpm test:live`
-
-## Live (network-touching) tests
-
-For the live model matrix, CLI backend smokes, ACP smokes, Codex app-server
-harness, and all media-provider live tests (Deepgram, BytePlus, ComfyUI, image,
-music, video, media harness) - plus credential handling for live runs - see
-[Testing live suites](/help/testing-live). For the dedicated update and
-plugin validation checklist, see
-[Testing updates and plugins](/help/testing-updates-plugins).
-
-## Docker runners (optional "works in Linux" checks)
-
-These Docker runners split into two buckets:
-
-- Live-model runners: `test:docker:live-models` and `test:docker:live-gateway` run only their matching profile-key live file inside the repo Docker image (`src/agents/models.profiles.live.test.ts` and `src/gateway/gateway-models.profiles.live.test.ts`), mounting your local config dir, workspace, and optional profile env file. The matching local entrypoints are `test:live:models-profiles` and `test:live:gateway-profiles`.
-- Docker live runners keep their own practical caps where needed:
-  `test:docker:live-models` defaults to the curated supported high-signal set, and
-  `test:docker:live-gateway` defaults to `FENGMING_LIVE_GATEWAY_SMOKE=1`,
-  `FENGMING_LIVE_GATEWAY_MAX_MODELS=8`,
-  `FENGMING_LIVE_GATEWAY_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS=45000`, and
-  `FENGMING_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODEL_TIMEOUT_MS=90000`. Set `FENGMING_LIVE_MAX_MODELS`
-  or the gateway env vars when you explicitly want a smaller cap or larger scan.
-- `test:docker:all` builds the live Docker image once via `test:docker:live-build`, packs FengMing once as an npm tarball through `scripts/package-fengming-for-docker.mjs`, then builds/reuses two `scripts/e2e/Dockerfile` images. The bare image is only the Node/Git runner for install/update/plugin-dependency lanes; those lanes mount the prebuilt tarball. The functional image installs the same tarball into `/app` for built-app functionality lanes. Docker lane definitions live in `scripts/lib/docker-e2e-scenarios.mjs`; planner logic lives in `scripts/lib/docker-e2e-plan.mjs`; `scripts/test-docker-all.mjs` executes the selected plan. The aggregate uses a weighted local scheduler: `FENGMING_DOCKER_ALL_PARALLELISM` controls process slots, while resource caps keep heavy live, npm-install, and multi-service lanes from all starting at once. If a single lane is heavier than the active caps, the scheduler can still start it when the pool is empty and then keeps it running alone until capacity is available again. Defaults are 10 slots, `FENGMING_DOCKER_ALL_LIVE_LIMIT=9`, `FENGMING_DOCKER_ALL_NPM_LIMIT=10`, and `FENGMING_DOCKER_ALL_SERVICE_LIMIT=7`; tune `FENGMING_DOCKER_ALL_WEIGHT_LIMIT` or `FENGMING_DOCKER_ALL_DOCKER_LIMIT` only when the Docker host has more headroom. The runner performs a Docker preflight by default, removes stale FengMing E2E containers, prints status every 30 seconds, stores successful lane timings in `.artifacts/docker-tests/lane-timings.json`, and uses those timings to start longer lanes first on later runs. Use `FENGMING_DOCKER_ALL_DRY_RUN=1` to print the weighted lane manifest without building or running Docker, or `node scripts/test-docker-all.mjs --plan-json` to print the CI plan for selected lanes, package/image needs, and credentials.
-- `Package Acceptance` is the GitHub-native package gate for "does this installable tarball work as a product?" It resolves one candidate package from `source=npm`, `source=ref`, `source=url`, or `source=artifact`, uploads it as `package-under-test`, then runs the reusable Docker E2E lanes against that exact tarball instead of repacking the selected ref. Profiles are ordered by breadth: `smoke`, `package`, `product`, and `full`. See [Testing updates and plugins](/help/testing-updates-plugins) for the package/update/plugin contract, published-upgrade survivor matrix, release defaults, and failure triage.
-- Build and release checks run `scripts/check-cli-bootstrap-imports.mjs` after tsdown. The guard walks the static built graph from `dist/entry.js` and `dist/cli/run-main.js` and fails if pre-dispatch startup imports package dependencies such as Commander, prompt UI, undici, or logging before command dispatch; it also keeps the bundled gateway run chunk under budget and rejects static imports of known cold gateway paths. Packaged CLI smoke also covers root help, onboard help, doctor help, status, config schema, and a model-list command.
-- Package Acceptance legacy compatibility is capped at `2026.4.25` (`2026.4.25-beta.*` included). Through that cutoff, the harness tolerates only shipped-package metadata gaps: omitted private QA inventory entries, missing `gateway install --wrapper`, missing patch files in the tarball-derived git fixture, missing persisted `update.channel`, legacy plugin install-record locations, missing marketplace install-record persistence, and config metadata migration during `plugins update`. For packages after `2026.4.25`, those paths are strict failures.
-- Container smoke runners: `test:docker:openwebui`, `test:docker:onboard`, `test:docker:npm-onboard-channel-agent`, `test:docker:release-user-journey`, `test:docker:release-typed-onboarding`, `test:docker:release-media-memory`, `test:docker:release-upgrade-user-journey`, `test:docker:release-plugin-marketplace`, `test:docker:skill-install`, `test:docker:update-channel-switch`, `test:docker:upgrade-survivor`, `test:docker:published-upgrade-survivor`, `test:docker:session-runtime-context`, `test:docker:agents-delete-shared-workspace`, `test:docker:gateway-network`, `test:docker:browser-cdp-snapshot`, `test:docker:mcp-channels`, `test:docker:agent-bundle-mcp-tools`, `test:docker:cron-mcp-cleanup`, `test:docker:plugins`, `test:docker:plugin-update`, `test:docker:plugin-lifecycle-matrix`, and `test:docker:config-reload` boot one or more real containers and verify higher-level integration paths.
-- Docker/Bash E2E lanes that install the packed FengMing tarball through `scripts/lib/fengming-e2e-instance.sh` cap `npm install` at `FENGMING_E2E_NPM_INSTALL_TIMEOUT` (default `600s`; set `0` to disable the wrapper for debugging).
-
-The live-model Docker runners also bind-mount only the needed CLI auth homes (or all supported ones when the run is not narrowed), then copy them into the container home before the run so external-CLI OAuth can refresh tokens without mutating the host auth store:
-
-- Direct models: `pnpm test:docker:live-models` (script: `scripts/test-live-models-docker.sh`)
-- ACP bind smoke: `pnpm test:docker:live-acp-bind` (script: `scripts/test-live-acp-bind-docker.sh`; covers Claude, Codex, and Gemini by default, with strict Droid/OpenCode coverage via `pnpm test:docker:live-acp-bind:droid` and `pnpm test:docker:live-acp-bind:opencode`)
-- CLI backend smoke: `pnpm test:docker:live-cli-backend` (script: `scripts/test-live-cli-backend-docker.sh`)
-- Codex app-server harness smoke: `pnpm test:docker:live-codex-harness` (script: `scripts/test-live-codex-harness-docker.sh`)
-- Gateway + dev agent: `pnpm test:docker:live-gateway` (script: `scripts/test-live-gateway-models-docker.sh`)
-- Observability smokes: `pnpm qa:otel:smoke`, `pnpm qa:prometheus:smoke`, and `pnpm qa:observability:smoke` are private QA source-checkout lanes. They are intentionally not part of package Docker release lanes because the npm tarball omits QA Lab.
-- Open WebUI live smoke: `pnpm test:docker:openwebui` (script: `scripts/e2e/openwebui-docker.sh`)
-- Onboarding wizard (TTY, full scaffolding): `pnpm test:docker:onboard` (script: `scripts/e2e/onboard-docker.sh`)
-- Npm tarball onboarding/channel/agent smoke: `pnpm test:docker:npm-onboard-channel-agent` installs the packed FengMing tarball globally in Docker, configures OpenAI via env-ref onboarding plus Telegram by default, runs doctor, and runs one mocked OpenAI agent turn. Reuse a prebuilt tarball with `FENGMING_CURRENT_PACKAGE_TGZ=/path/to/fengming-*.tgz`, skip the host rebuild with `FENGMING_NPM_ONBOARD_HOST_BUILD=0`, or switch channel with `FENGMING_NPM_ONBOARD_CHANNEL=discord` or `FENGMING_NPM_ONBOARD_CHANNEL=slack`.
-
-- Release user journey smoke: `pnpm test:docker:release-user-journey` installs the packed FengMing tarball globally in a clean Docker home, runs onboarding, configures a mocked OpenAI provider, runs an agent turn, installs/uninstalls external plugins, configures ClickClack against a local fixture, verifies outbound/inbound messaging, restarts Gateway, and runs doctor.
-- Release typed onboarding smoke: `pnpm test:docker:release-typed-onboarding` installs the packed tarball, drives `fengming onboard` through a real TTY, configures OpenAI as an env-ref provider, verifies no raw key persistence, and runs a mocked agent turn.
-- Release media/memory smoke: `pnpm test:docker:release-media-memory` installs the packed tarball, verifies image understanding from a PNG attachment, OpenAI-compatible image generation output, memory search recall, and recall survival across Gateway restart.
-- Release upgrade user journey smoke: `pnpm test:docker:release-upgrade-user-journey` installs `fengming@latest` by default, configures provider/plugin/ClickClack state on the published package, upgrades to the candidate tarball, then reruns the core agent/plugin/channel journey. Override the baseline with `FENGMING_RELEASE_UPGRADE_BASELINE_SPEC=fengming@<version>`.
-- Release plugin marketplace smoke: `pnpm test:docker:release-plugin-marketplace` installs from a local fixture marketplace, updates the installed plugin, uninstalls it, and verifies the plugin CLI disappears with install metadata pruned.
-- Skill install smoke: `pnpm test:docker:skill-install` installs the packed FengMing tarball globally in Docker, disables uploaded archive installs in config, resolves the current live ClawHub skill slug from search, installs it with `fengming skills install`, and verifies the installed skill plus `.clawhub` origin/lock metadata.
-- Update channel switch smoke: `pnpm test:docker:update-channel-switch` installs the packed FengMing tarball globally in Docker, switches from package `stable` to git `dev`, verifies the persisted channel and plugin post-update work, then switches back to package `stable` and checks update status.
-- Upgrade survivor smoke: `pnpm test:docker:upgrade-survivor` installs the packed FengMing tarball over a dirty old-user fixture with agents, channel config, plugin allowlists, stale plugin dependency state, and existing workspace/session files. It runs package update plus non-interactive doctor without live provider or channel keys, then starts a loopback Gateway and checks config/state preservation plus startup/status budgets.
-- Published upgrade survivor smoke: `pnpm test:docker:published-upgrade-survivor` installs `fengming@latest` by default, seeds realistic existing-user files, configures that baseline with a baked command recipe, validates the resulting config, updates that published install to the candidate tarball, runs non-interactive doctor, writes `.artifacts/upgrade-survivor/summary.json`, then starts a loopback Gateway and checks configured intents, state preservation, startup, `/healthz`, `/readyz`, and RPC status budgets. Override one baseline with `FENGMING_UPGRADE_SURVIVOR_BASELINE_SPEC`, ask the aggregate scheduler to expand exact local baselines with `FENGMING_UPGRADE_SURVIVOR_BASELINE_SPECS` such as `fengming@2026.5.2 fengming@2026.4.23 fengming@2026.4.15`, and expand issue-shaped fixtures with `FENGMING_UPGRADE_SURVIVOR_SCENARIOS` such as `reported-issues`; the reported-issues set includes `configured-plugin-installs` for automatic external FengMing plugin install repair. Package Acceptance exposes those as `published_upgrade_survivor_baseline`, `published_upgrade_survivor_baselines`, and `published_upgrade_survivor_scenarios`, resolves meta baseline tokens such as `last-stable-4` or `all-since-2026.4.23`, and Full Release Validation expands the release-soak package gate to `last-stable-4 2026.4.23 2026.5.2 2026.4.15` plus `reported-issues`.
-- Session runtime context smoke: `pnpm test:docker:session-runtime-context` verifies hidden runtime context transcript persistence plus doctor repair of affected duplicated prompt-rewrite branches.
-- Bun global install smoke: `bash scripts/e2e/bun-global-install-smoke.sh` packs the current tree, installs it with `bun install -g` in an isolated home, and verifies `fengming infer image providers --json` returns bundled image providers instead of hanging. Reuse a prebuilt tarball with `FENGMING_BUN_GLOBAL_SMOKE_PACKAGE_TGZ=/path/to/fengming-*.tgz`, skip the host build with `FENGMING_BUN_GLOBAL_SMOKE_HOST_BUILD=0`, or copy `dist/` from a built Docker image with `FENGMING_BUN_GLOBAL_SMOKE_DIST_IMAGE=fengming-dockerfile-smoke:local`.
-- Installer Docker smoke: `bash scripts/test-install-sh-docker.sh` shares one npm cache across its root, update, and direct-npm containers. Update smoke defaults to npm `latest` as the stable baseline before upgrading to the candidate tarball. Override with `FENGMING_INSTALL_SMOKE_UPDATE_BASELINE=2026.4.22` locally, or with the Install Smoke workflow's `update_baseline_version` input on GitHub. Non-root installer checks keep an isolated npm cache so root-owned cache entries do not mask user-local install behavior. Set `FENGMING_INSTALL_SMOKE_NPM_CACHE_DIR=/path/to/cache` to reuse the root/update/direct-npm cache across local reruns.
-- Install Smoke CI skips the duplicate direct-npm global update with `FENGMING_INSTALL_SMOKE_SKIP_NPM_GLOBAL=1`; run the script locally without that env when direct `npm install -g` coverage is needed.
-- Agents delete shared workspace CLI smoke: `pnpm test:docker:agents-delete-shared-workspace` (script: `scripts/e2e/agents-delete-shared-workspace-docker.sh`) builds the root Dockerfile image by default, seeds two agents with one workspace in an isolated container home, runs `agents delete --json`, and verifies valid JSON plus retained workspace behavior. Reuse the install-smoke image with `FENGMING_AGENTS_DELETE_SHARED_WORKSPACE_E2E_IMAGE=fengming-dockerfile-smoke:local FENGMING_AGENTS_DELETE_SHARED_WORKSPACE_E2E_SKIP_BUILD=1`.
-- Gateway networking (two containers, WS auth + health): `pnpm test:docker:gateway-network` (script: `scripts/e2e/gateway-network-docker.sh`)
-- Browser CDP snapshot smoke: `pnpm test:docker:browser-cdp-snapshot` (script: `scripts/e2e/browser-cdp-snapshot-docker.sh`) builds the source E2E image plus a Chromium layer, starts Chromium with raw CDP, runs `browser doctor --deep`, and verifies CDP role snapshots cover link URLs, cursor-promoted clickables, iframe refs, and frame metadata.
-- OpenAI Responses web_search minimal reasoning regression: `pnpm test:docker:openai-web-search-minimal` (script: `scripts/e2e/openai-web-search-minimal-docker.sh`) runs a mocked OpenAI server through Gateway, verifies `web_search` raises `reasoning.effort` from `minimal` to `low`, then forces the provider schema reject and checks the raw detail appears in Gateway logs.
-- MCP channel bridge (seeded Gateway + stdio bridge + raw Claude notification-frame smoke): `pnpm test:docker:mcp-channels` (script: `scripts/e2e/mcp-channels-docker.sh`)
-- FengMing bundle MCP tools (real stdio MCP server + embedded FengMing profile allow/deny smoke): `pnpm test:docker:agent-bundle-mcp-tools` (script: `scripts/e2e/agent-bundle-mcp-tools-docker.sh`)
-- Cron/subagent MCP cleanup (real Gateway + stdio MCP child teardown after isolated cron and one-shot subagent runs): `pnpm test:docker:cron-mcp-cleanup` (script: `scripts/e2e/cron-mcp-cleanup-docker.sh`)
-- Plugins (install/update smoke for local path, `file:`, npm registry with hoisted dependencies, malformed npm package metadata, git moving refs, ClawHub kitchen-sink, marketplace updates, and Claude-bundle enable/inspect): `pnpm test:docker:plugins` (script: `scripts/e2e/plugins-docker.sh`)
-  Set `FENGMING_PLUGINS_E2E_CLAWHUB=0` to skip the ClawHub block, or override the default kitchen-sink package/runtime pair with `FENGMING_PLUGINS_E2E_CLAWHUB_SPEC` and `FENGMING_PLUGINS_E2E_CLAWHUB_ID`. Without `FENGMING_CLAWHUB_URL`/`CLAWHUB_URL`, the test uses a hermetic local ClawHub fixture server.
-- Plugin update unchanged smoke: `pnpm test:docker:plugin-update` (script: `scripts/e2e/plugin-update-unchanged-docker.sh`)
-- Plugin lifecycle matrix smoke: `pnpm test:docker:plugin-lifecycle-matrix` installs the packed FengMing tarball in a bare container, installs an npm plugin, toggles enable/disable, upgrades and downgrades it through a local npm registry, deletes the installed code, then verifies uninstall still removes stale state while logging RSS/CPU metrics for each lifecycle phase.
-- Config reload metadata smoke: `pnpm test:docker:config-reload` (script: `scripts/e2e/config-reload-source-docker.sh`)
-- Plugins: `pnpm test:docker:plugins` covers install/update smoke for local path, `file:`, npm registry with hoisted dependencies, git moving refs, ClawHub fixtures, marketplace updates, and Claude-bundle enable/inspect. `pnpm test:docker:plugin-update` covers unchanged update behavior for installed plugins. `pnpm test:docker:plugin-lifecycle-matrix` covers resource-tracked npm plugin install, enable, disable, upgrade, downgrade, and missing-code uninstall.
-
-To prebuild and reuse the shared functional image manually:
-
-```bash
-FENGMING_DOCKER_E2E_IMAGE=fengming-docker-e2e-functional:local pnpm test:docker:e2e-build
-FENGMING_DOCKER_E2E_IMAGE=fengming-docker-e2e-functional:local FENGMING_SKIP_DOCKER_BUILD=1 pnpm test:docker:mcp-channels
-```
-
-Suite-specific image overrides such as `FENGMING_GATEWAY_NETWORK_E2E_IMAGE` still win when set. When `FENGMING_SKIP_DOCKER_BUILD=1` points at a remote shared image, the scripts pull it if it is not already local. The QR and installer Docker tests keep their own Dockerfiles because they validate package/install behavior rather than the shared built-app runtime.
-
-The live-model Docker runners also bind-mount the current checkout read-only and
-stage it into a temporary workdir inside the container. This keeps the runtime
-image slim while still running Vitest against your exact local source/config.
-The staging step skips large local-only caches and app build outputs such as
-`.pnpm-store`, `.worktrees`, `__fengming_vitest__`, and app-local `.build` or
-Gradle output directories so Docker live runs do not spend minutes copying
-machine-specific artifacts.
-They also set `FENGMING_SKIP_CHANNELS=1` so gateway live probes do not start
-real Telegram/Discord/etc. channel workers inside the container.
-`test:docker:live-models` still runs `pnpm test:live`, so pass through
-`FENGMING_LIVE_GATEWAY_*` as well when you need to narrow or exclude gateway
-live coverage from that Docker lane.
-`test:docker:openwebui` is a higher-level compatibility smoke: it starts an
-FengMing gateway container with the OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoints enabled,
-starts a pinned Open WebUI container against that gateway, signs in through
-Open WebUI, verifies `/api/models` exposes `fengming/default`, then sends a
-real chat request through Open WebUI's `/api/chat/completions` proxy.
-Set `OPENWEBUI_SMOKE_MODE=models` for release-path CI checks that should stop
-after Open WebUI sign-in and model discovery, without waiting on a live model
-completion.
-The first run can be noticeably slower because Docker may need to pull the
-Open WebUI image and Open WebUI may need to finish its own cold-start setup.
-This lane expects a usable live model key. Provide it through the process
-environment, staged auth profiles, or an explicit `FENGMING_PROFILE_FILE`.
-Successful runs print a small JSON payload like `{ "ok": true, "model":
-"fengming/default", ... }`.
-`test:docker:mcp-channels` is intentionally deterministic and does not need a
-real Telegram, Discord, or iMessage account. It boots a seeded Gateway
-container, starts a second container that spawns `fengming mcp serve`, then
-verifies routed conversation discovery, transcript reads, attachment metadata,
-live event queue behavior, outbound send routing, and Claude-style channel +
-permission notifications over the real stdio MCP bridge. The notification check
-inspects the raw stdio MCP frames directly so the smoke validates what the
-bridge actually emits, not just what a specific client SDK happens to surface.
-`test:docker:agent-bundle-mcp-tools` is deterministic and does not need a live
-model key. It builds the repo Docker image, starts a real stdio MCP probe server
-inside the container, materializes that server through the embedded FengMing bundle
-MCP runtime, executes the tool, then verifies `coding` and `messaging` keep
-`bundle-mcp` tools while `minimal` and `tools.deny: ["bundle-mcp"]` filter them.
-`test:docker:cron-mcp-cleanup` is deterministic and does not need a live model
-key. It starts a seeded Gateway with a real stdio MCP probe server, runs an
-isolated cron turn and a `sessions_spawn` one-shot child turn, then verifies
-the MCP child process exits after each run.
-
-Manual ACP plain-language thread smoke (not CI):
-
-- `bun scripts/dev/discord-acp-plain-language-smoke.ts --channel <discord-channel-id> ...`
-- Keep this script for regression/debug workflows. It may be needed again for ACP thread routing validation, so do not delete it.
-
-Useful env vars:
-
-- `FENGMING_CONFIG_DIR=...` (default: `~/.fengming`) mounted to `/home/node/.fengming`
-- `FENGMING_WORKSPACE_DIR=...` (default: `~/.fengming/workspace`) mounted to `/home/node/.fengming/workspace`
-- `FENGMING_PROFILE_FILE=...` mounted and sourced before running tests
-- `FENGMING_DOCKER_PROFILE_ENV_ONLY=1` to verify only env vars sourced from `FENGMING_PROFILE_FILE`, using temporary config/workspace dirs and no external CLI auth mounts
-- `FENGMING_DOCKER_CLI_TOOLS_DIR=...` (default: `~/.cache/fengming/docker-cli-tools`) mounted to `/home/node/.npm-global` for cached CLI installs inside Docker
-- External CLI auth dirs/files under `$HOME` are mounted read-only under `/host-auth...`, then copied into `/home/node/...` before tests start
-  - Default dirs: `.minimax`
-  - Default files: `~/.codex/auth.json`, `~/.codex/config.toml`, `.claude.json`, `~/.claude/.credentials.json`, `~/.claude/settings.json`, `~/.claude/settings.local.json`
-  - Narrowed provider runs mount only the needed dirs/files inferred from `FENGMING_LIVE_PROVIDERS` / `FENGMING_LIVE_GATEWAY_PROVIDERS`
-  - Override manually with `FENGMING_DOCKER_AUTH_DIRS=all`, `FENGMING_DOCKER_AUTH_DIRS=none`, or a comma list like `FENGMING_DOCKER_AUTH_DIRS=.claude,.codex`
-- `FENGMING_LIVE_GATEWAY_MODELS=...` / `FENGMING_LIVE_MODELS=...` to narrow the run
-- `FENGMING_LIVE_GATEWAY_PROVIDERS=...` / `FENGMING_LIVE_PROVIDERS=...` to filter providers in-container
-- `FENGMING_SKIP_DOCKER_BUILD=1` to reuse an existing `fengming:local-live` image for reruns that do not need a rebuild
-- `FENGMING_LIVE_REQUIRE_PROFILE_KEYS=1` to ensure creds come from the profile store (not env)
-- `FENGMING_OPENWEBUI_MODEL=...` to choose the model exposed by the gateway for the Open WebUI smoke
-- `FENGMING_OPENWEBUI_PROMPT=...` to override the nonce-check prompt used by the Open WebUI smoke
-- `OPENWEBUI_IMAGE=...` to override the pinned Open WebUI image tag

-## Docs sanity
-
-Run docs checks after doc edits: `pnpm check:docs`.
-Run full Mintlify anchor validation when you need in-page heading checks too: `pnpm docs:check-links:anchors`.
-
-## Offline regression (CI-safe)
-
-These are "real pipeline" regressions without real providers:
-
-- Gateway tool calling (mock OpenAI, real gateway + agent loop): `src/gateway/gateway.test.ts` (case: "runs a mock OpenAI tool call end-to-end via gateway agent loop")
-- Gateway wizard (WS `wizard.start`/`wizard.next`, writes config + auth enforced): `src/gateway/gateway.test.ts` (case: "runs wizard over ws and writes auth token config")
-
-## Agent reliability evals (skills)
-
-We already have a few CI-safe tests that behave like "agent reliability evals":
-
-- Mock tool-calling through the real gateway + agent loop (`src/gateway/gateway.test.ts`).
-- End-to-end wizard flows that validate session wiring and config effects (`src/gateway/gateway.test.ts`).
-
-What's still missing for skills (see [Skills](/tools/skills)):
-
-- **Decisioning:** when skills are listed in the prompt, does the agent pick the right skill (or avoid irrelevant ones)?
-- **Compliance:** does the agent read `SKILL.md` before use and follow required steps/args?
-- **Workflow contracts:** multi-turn scenarios that assert tool order, session history carryover, and sandbox boundaries.
-
-Future evals should stay deterministic first:
-
-- A scenario runner using mock providers to assert tool calls + order, skill file reads, and session wiring.
-- A small suite of skill-focused scenarios (use vs avoid, gating, prompt injection).
-- Optional live evals (opt-in, env-gated) only after the CI-safe suite is in place.
-
-## Contract tests (plugin and channel shape)
-
-Contract tests verify that every registered plugin and channel conforms to its
-interface contract. They iterate over all discovered plugins and run a suite of
-shape and behavior assertions. The default `pnpm test` unit lane intentionally
-skips these shared seam and smoke files; run the contract commands explicitly
-when you touch shared channel or provider surfaces.
-
-### Commands
-
-- All contracts: `pnpm test:contracts`
-- Channel contracts only: `pnpm test:contracts:channels`
-- Provider contracts only: `pnpm test:contracts:plugins`
-
-### Channel contracts
-
-Located in `src/channels/plugins/contracts/*.contract.test.ts`:
-
-- **plugin** - Basic plugin shape (id, name, capabilities)
-- **setup** - Setup wizard contract
-- **session-binding** - Session binding behavior
-- **outbound-payload** - Message payload structure
-- **inbound** - Inbound message handling
-- **actions** - Channel action handlers
-- **threading** - Thread ID handling
-- **directory** - Directory/roster API
-- **group-policy** - Group policy enforcement
-
-### Provider status contracts
-
-Located in `src/plugins/contracts/*.contract.test.ts`.
-
-- **status** - Channel status probes
-- **registry** - Plugin registry shape
-
-### Provider contracts
-
-Located in `src/plugins/contracts/*.contract.test.ts`:
-
-- **auth** - Auth flow contract
-- **auth-choice** - Auth choice/selection
-- **catalog** - Model catalog API
-- **discovery** - Plugin discovery
-- **loader** - Plugin loading
-- **runtime** - Provider runtime
-- **shape** - Plugin shape/interface
-- **wizard** - Setup wizard
-
-### When to run
-
-- After changing plugin-sdk exports or subpaths
-- After adding or modifying a channel or provider plugin
-- After refactoring plugin registration or discovery
-
-Contract tests run in CI and do not require real API keys.
-
-## Adding regressions (guidance)
-
-When you fix a provider/model issue discovered in live:
-
-- Add a CI-safe regression if possible (mock/stub provider, or capture the exact request-shape transformation)
-- If it's inherently live-only (rate limits, auth policies), keep the live test narrow and opt-in via env vars
-- Prefer targeting the smallest layer that catches the bug:
-  - provider request conversion/replay bug → direct models test
-  - gateway session/history/tool pipeline bug → gateway live smoke or CI-safe gateway mock test
-- SecretRef traversal guardrail:
-  - `src/secrets/exec-secret-ref-id-parity.test.ts` derives one sampled target per SecretRef class from registry metadata (`listSecretTargetRegistryEntries()`), then asserts traversal-segment exec ids are rejected.
-  - If you add a new `includeInPlan` SecretRef target family in `src/secrets/target-registry-data.ts`, update `classifyTargetClass` in that test. The test intentionally fails on unclassified target ids so new classes cannot be skipped silently.
