An intermittent CI failure (for example, kvasir_rockylinux_jdk25 in tests/dyncomp-tests/Apples) gave no indication of the cause, because the DynComp run sent its output to /dev/null and other Kvasir failures were not reported.

  • tests/kvasir-tests/run-kvasir.sh (new): runs a Kvasir command, writing its output to a file. If the command is killed by a signal or its exit status differs from the expected one, the script prints the exit status and the output, and fails. This is the only place that this policy is implemented. The expected exit status is 0 unless a test sets EXPECTED_EXIT_STATUS; tot_info sets it to 1.
  • tests/{dyncomp,kvasir}-tests/Makefile.common: every Kvasir run goes through run-kvasir.sh. The DynComp output goes to $(NAME).dyncomp.out instead of /dev/null, and the first DTRACE_APPEND run writes to $(NAME).decls.out. The COUNTS_ONLY rule writes the trace to a file, counts it, and deletes it, instead of piping it into dtrace-count.pl, so that a Kvasir failure is not hidden by the pipeline.
  • tests/kvasir-tests/run-many.pl: runs each line through run-kvasir.sh, reports each failed run, and exits with a failure status if any run failed. It still aborts on SIGINT.
  • tests/kvasir-tests/Makefile.results (new): the regression-tests and results targets, shared by tests/{dyncomp,kvasir}-tests/Makefile. regression-tests deletes stale .diff files, uses make -k so that one failing test does not stop the others, always prints the results, and reports tests that crashed (and so have no diffs). The is-ci.sh test, which was not being run because of a missing $$, is now the CI_JOBS variable.
  • scripts/test-kvasir.sh: runs the Kvasir tests even if a DynComp test fails.

Uploading test outputs from failed CI jobs is in #908.

… from failed CI jobs

The DynComp run in the Kvasir and DynComp regression tests sent its output to
/dev/null, so a CI failure gave no indication of the cause.  Write the output
to $(NAME).dyncomp.out and print it, with the exit status, when the run fails.

📝 Walkthrough

Kvasir test commands now use a wrapper that captures output and validates expected exit statuses. DynComp and Kvasir recipes save command output and write trace files before counting records. A shared Makefile fragment handles regression execution and result reporting. The test script runs both regression suites and records their failure status.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0c2a7

The reported CI startup failure is fixed, and regression reporting preserves failures. No identified issue prevents merging after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0c2a7

The changes remain within regression testing and preserve a failing final status while allowing additional tests to run. No material security concern was identified. Cancellation behavior and overlapping runs in one working tree remain incompletely specified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated propagation reaches both regression suites and their existing CI test jobs. The inspected dependency path does not demonstrate new production authority or deployment execution; external release-gate dependencies remain unknown.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — run-many continues to interpret test argument lines through a shell, as it did before this PR. The new wrapper executes its supplied argument vector and validates status; it is not an input-sanitization or sandbox boundary.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Result ownership is not isolated between overlapping invocations in the same working tree: the reporter deletes suite-wide diffs, while recipes use fixed output paths. Separate checkouts in the inspected CI jobs are counterevidence against that overlap there; local concurrent-run behavior remains unspecified.

…Kvasir runs

* Use make -k so one failing test does not prevent the others from running,
  and always print the results.
* Show the output of every failed Kvasir run, not just DynComp runs.
* Use pipefail so a Kvasir failure in a COUNTS_ONLY test is detected.
* Fix the is-ci.sh test, which was always false because of a missing $.
* Upload test outputs from cancelled jobs too, and keep them for 14 days.

… the results targets; delete stale .diff files

run-many.pl delegates to run-kvasir.sh, so COUNTS_ONLY and ordinary runs
tolerate a program's exit status 1 just as TESTS_SCRIPT runs do.  The
fatal-error patterns require the context of Valgrind and Kvasir messages.
run-kvasir.sh reports a failure of dtrace-count.pl, whose path the Makefile
passes using DAIKONDIR.

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ror messages; abort run-many.pl on Kvasir SIGINT; report crashed tests alongside diffs

Also truncate run-many.pl's output file before each run, guard against an empty status in --counts mode, and drop the stale 2>&1 from run-many.pl's progress line.
…ts mode; share CI_JOBS; drop dead BASE stage and redundant truncation; document exit-status and redirection limits
…ed status; fail on a non-numeric expected status; respect DTRACE_EXT in COUNTS_ONLY
