Summary

test:ci:e2e and test:ci:integration wrapped vitest in c8. c8 reads V8's block ranges without an AST, which makes its branch and function numbers wrong in two independent ways. Vitest 4's v8 provider does AST-aware remapping, so both go away — and it's one less dependency, one less config file, and one less process wrapper.

The measurements

Run locally against MySQL 8.0 + Redis + MinIO (matching CI's services). Same suites, same tests, all passing in both.

E2E — 154 files / 2337 tests:

c8 v8 provider
Statements 75.45% (111137/147290) 72.07% (30095/41758)
Branches 80.48% (16750/20811) 58.00% (12718/21926)
Functions 84.09% (6676/7939) 76.00% (5959/7840)
Lines 75.45% 72.11% (29806/41333)
Wall clock 91.5s 84.6s

Integration — 55 files / 513 tests:

c8 v8 provider
Statements 55.62% (81931/147290) 49.48% (20662/41753)
Branches 73.22% (9176/12532) 34.06% (7470/21926)
Functions 59.98% (4571/7620) 49.61% (3890/7840)
Lines 55.62% 49.56% (20483/41328)
Wall clock 29.5s 30.0s

Two distinct failure modes:

  1. Inflated numerators. On e2e the branch denominators nearly match (20811 vs 21926) but c8 counts 16750 covered branches against 12718. Without an AST, c8 cannot see an if with no else, a ternary, or a ||/?? short-circuit as a branch point at all, so it scores them covered.
  2. Collapsed denominators. c8 credits every file a run never loads exactly 1 branch and 1 function, whatever the file contains. Integration leaves most of core/ unloaded, so its branch denominator falls to 12532 against the provider's 21926. Adding an untested file today barely moves that gate.

c8 also counts every physical line as a statement — blanks and comments included — which is why its statement denominator is 147290 against 41758.

Thresholds

Re-baselined from the runs above, minus ~2pt of headroom:

old (c8) new measured
e2e S/B/F/L 54 / 75 / 79 / 54 70 / 56 / 74 / 70 72.07 / 58.00 / 76.00 / 72.11
int S/B/F/L 52 / 73 / 47 / 52 47 / 32 / 47 / 47 49.48 / 34.06 / 49.61 / 49.56

The branch gates drop hardest. That is not a coverage regression — no test changed and none started failing. The old numbers were not measuring what they claimed. Branch coverage now moves when someone adds an untested path.

Reproducibility: a second integration run landed at 49.48 / 34.07 / 49.61 / 49.56 — within one statement and one branch of the first.

Notes

  • Coverage config moved into vitest.config.db.ts. Both lanes' gates and report directories live in one COVERAGE_LANES table there, selected by the COVERAGE_LANE env var the test:ci:* scripts set — so re-baselining is a one-file edit rather than a config change plus a long CLI override. An unrecognised lane throws (Unknown COVERAGE_LANE 'bogus' — expected one of: e2e, integration) rather than silently dropping the gate; an unset one reports without gating, so ad-hoc local --coverage runs no longer inherit e2e's thresholds.
  • No CI change needed — cobertura still lands at coverage-e2e/ and coverage-integration/, the paths ci.yml and the nx outputs already expect.
  • all needs an explicit include under vitest 4, otherwise only loaded files report.
  • **/*.d.ts is excluded: the remapper's parser rejects import type { X } from 'y'. Non-fatal (it skips and continues) but noisy.
  • Two things did not carry over from .c8rc.e2e.json: the !core/server/data/migrations/utils.js negation, which matched nothing (utils is a directory, and c8's own report showed 0 migration files), and .c8rc.json, which nothing referenced at all.
  • Checked and dismissed: c8's NODE_V8_COVERAGE covers the whole process tree, so it sees Bree worker_thread job code the provider cannot. Compared both reports file-by-file — zero files that c8 covers and the provider reports at 0%, and the two agree file-for-file on every core/server/**/jobs/** file. Not a real gap.

Test plan

  • e2e: 2337 tests pass, exit 0 against the new gates (72.08 / 58.02 / 76.00 / 72.12)
  • integration: 513 tests pass, exit 0 against the new gates (49.48 / 34.07 / 49.61 / 49.56)
  • Confirm CI's numbers land inside the headroom — if they come in under, re-baseline from a CI run rather than padding further

Unrelated flake seen while testing

Across six full e2e runs on this branch, two failed — one with 11 failures in webmentions.test.js (TooManyRequestsError), one with 7 in themes.test.js. A different file each time, and themes.test.js passes 13/13 in isolation. CI is unset locally so sequence.shuffle is off and file order is fixed, which points at latent cross-file state pollution between files sharing a fork under isolate: false.

Pre-existing and not touched by this diff — two of the four clean runs were c8. I can't rule out that coverage overhead shifts fork scheduling and surfaces it more often, since I have no no-coverage baseline. Tracked separately, not chased here.

Walkthrough

Coverage configuration moves from c8 to Vitest’s V8 provider. End-to-end and integration scripts select coverage lanes through COVERAGE_LANE. Each lane defines report output and coverage thresholds. Vitest controls included and excluded paths and emits text-summary and Cobertura reports. The c8 dependency and workspace catalog entry are removed.

Suggested reviewers: 9larsons

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 48cd2

The PR moves acceptance coverage to Vitest 4's provider and centralizes lane thresholds, while invalid lane values are explicitly rejected. The configuration still retains an option removed by the selected test-runner version, creating a bounded compatibility risk that should be confirmed by the owner before merge.

PASS: The PR changes only coverage configuration, package scripts, and dependency metadata. The new COVERAGE_LANE environment value is checked against the allowed lanes before use. The changed TypeScript config introduces no any, unchecked as, @ts-nocheck, or @ts-ignore, and config files, scripts, and dependency metadata are explicitly exempt by the check.

Fail closed for every invalid COVERAGE_LANE value.

process.env.COVERAGE_LANE is boundary configuration, but Line [113] uses an unchecked as assertion and a truthy lookup. COVERAGE_LANE='' is treated as unset. Names such as constructor return inherited truthy values, so Line [114] skips validation and the coverage gate is not applied. Parse the optional value with a Zod enum before indexing COVERAGE_LANES.

As per coding guidelines, unchecked as assertions must not bypass typing for boundary data.
As per path instructions, environment and configuration data must be validated with Zod by default before it becomes trusted.

The acceptance lanes (test:ci:e2e, test:ci:integration) wrapped vitest in c8,
which reports coverage V8 can describe but c8 cannot interpret. Two measured
problems, both on the real e2e suite:

- Branch and function counts are inflated. V8 emits block ranges; without an
  AST c8 cannot see an `if` with no `else`, a ternary, or a `||`/`??`
  short-circuit as a branch point at all, so it scores them covered. e2e
  branches read 80.48% under c8 against 58.00% under the v8 provider, on
  near-identical denominators (20811 vs 21926) — the gap is entirely in the
  numerator.
- Denominators collapse for files a run never loads. c8 credits each such file
  exactly 1 branch and 1 function regardless of content. The integration lane
  leaves most of core/ unloaded, so its branch denominator falls to 12532
  against the v8 provider's 21926, and an untested file added today barely
  moves the gate.

Vitest 4's v8 provider does AST-aware remapping, so both go away. Coverage is
now configured in vitest.config.db.ts and the lanes just pass --coverage;
cobertura still lands at coverage-e2e/ and coverage-integration/, so ci.yml
and the nx outputs are unchanged.

Thresholds are re-baselined from measured runs against MySQL 8.0 with Redis
and MinIO up, minus roughly 2pt of headroom. The branch gates drop hardest
(e2e 75 to 56, integration 73 to 32). No test changed and none started
failing — the old numbers were simply not measuring what they claimed.

Both lanes' gates and report directories live in one COVERAGE_LANES table in
the config, selected by the COVERAGE_LANE env var the test:ci:* scripts set,
rather than split between the config and a long CLI override. The lookup uses
Object.hasOwn, so 'constructor' and the rest of Object.prototype are rejected
instead of resolving to inherited members and silently skipping the gate, and
an empty string is a bad value rather than "unset". An unset lane reports
without gating, so ad-hoc local --coverage runs no longer inherit e2e's
thresholds.

Vitest 4 has no coverage.all — `include` is what reports never-loaded files.
Verified: identical counts with and without it, so it was dead config implying
a behaviour `include` already provided. Two entries from .c8rc.e2e.json did not carry over: the
`!core/server/data/migrations/utils.js` negation, which matched nothing (utils
is a directory), and .c8rc.json, which nothing referenced.
