Compare the timeout tiers exactly, not approximately (#727) - #729
Conversation
Every tier comparison is a sum, and a sum is exact only if every term is. One float among them converts the whole of it back, silently. So `seconds` returns a `fractions.Fraction` and so does everything the comparisons add to it. The range is the reason. humantime reaches 2**64 seconds and a double holds 53 bits of significand, so above 2**53 it cannot represent two budgets a second apart. `18446744073709551614s` and `18446744073709551615s` are both inputs in the estate differential and both convert to the same double, so an ordering between them compares equal and passes whichever way round it is written. At the other end a tenth of a second has no exact double, so a budget assembled from tenths and one written as a decimal would differ by a rounding error rather than by anything anyone configured. `display_seconds` returns a float beside it, whitaker's shape: a float is what a reader wants in a message and not what a comparison should rest on, and different names make each caller choose. The four call sites in #727 were not the whole of it. The three compositions the ordering contract evaluates each mix a duration with a workflow reading and a constant, so the watchdog budget, the job ceiling converted from `timeout-minutes`, and the five allowances in `timeout_budgets` are exact too. Making only the duration exact would have left every sum a float and the new contract vacuous. One float remains, deliberately. `Fraction` raises on `nan` and `inf`, which would turn a workflow interpolating an expression to `inf` into unreadable text rather than the named refusal that case deserves. The watchdog text is therefore parsed as a float, checked for finiteness and sign, then converted from the text rather than from the float, so a tenth stays a tenth. Nothing is compared against the float. `timeout_exactness_test` drives the three compositions at two to the sixtieth, where neighbouring doubles are 256 seconds apart and a one-second difference is lost outright rather than only on one side of a tie. Each case asserts the collapse beside the ordering, so a case that stopped exercising the loss fails rather than passing quietly. Every one of the eight terms was reverted to a float in turn and each failed a case naming it: Total.as_seconds 5 cases the watchdog reading 2 the job ceiling conversion 2 OUTSIDE_WATCHDOG_ALLOWANCE_SECONDS 3 CEILING_MARGIN_SECONDS 3 COLD_BUILD_ALLOWANCE_SECONDS 3 TERMINATION_SAFETY_MARGIN_SECONDS 4 NEXTEST_DEFAULT_GRACE_PERIOD_SECONDS 2 The two allowances that `required_ceiling` adds together fail the same ordering case, which is why the constants are also asserted one by one under their own names; the report then says which of the two moved. Nextest's default grace period fails only the `nextests-own-default` leg, so the two legs of that pair discriminate rather than duplicate. The Hypothesis properties and the two local unit tables move to the exact type with them, and their comparisons drop `pytest.approx`: a tolerance can now only hide a disagreement, since a millisecond is a thousandth and no float holds one. `required_ceiling` moves to `timeout_budgets`, beside the constants it sums. Its signature change took `timeout_ordering_test` past the 400-line limit, and the function belongs with its terms rather than with the contract that reads it. The reader still reads none of the estate differential's seventy-two disagreements, re-measured after the change.

Two of the review's findings, taken as written. `display_seconds` is a public interface, so its parameter gets a NumPy-style section. It names no `Raises`: it raises nothing itself, which the docstring linter enforces, so the delegation to `seconds` is stated in the return description instead. The six private helpers in the exactness contract take single-line summaries, as the path instructions require. The reasoning that was in them is kept as comments rather than dropped: why the watchdog sits at job level, why the collapse assertion keeps the ordering assertion honest, why both spellings of the grace period are driven, and that the floor is the ordering contract's own expression rebuilt from its parts. `nextest_budgets` collapses its three-name import onto one line to stay inside the 400-line limit, which the exact signatures had taken it past.

`timeout_exactness_test` rebuilt the watchdog floor from its three terms rather than calling `watchdog_required_for`. Rebuilding is worth keeping: it names which term lost its exactness rather than reporting the sum. But it left the function the ordering contract actually calls unexercised at a magnitude where a float can be seen at all, so a cast applied inside it, to its result or to a term as it was added, passed every case in the module. Proved by mutation. Wrapping the function's return in `Fraction(float(...))` fails the new case alone; all 576 others, including the rebuilt composition for both spellings of the grace period, stayed green. The new case exposed a second thing. `_config` declared `[profile.default]` while `global_timeout` defaults to the profile CI selects, so a case driving the function through that configuration finds no budget and the function returns None. The rebuilt helper never met this because it passes `profile="default"` explicitly. The profile is now a parameter, defaulting to `default` so the existing cases are unchanged, and the new case declares the capped profile. Refs #727.

Closes #727.
What this is
Every tier comparison in the timeout contract is a sum, and a sum is
exact only if every term is. One
floatamong them converts the wholeof it back, and the conversion is silent.
secondsnow returns afractions.Fraction, and so does everything the comparisons add to it.Why
humantime's range reaches 2**64 seconds and a double holds 53 bits of
significand:
Both are inputs in the estate differential. An ordering assertion
between two budgets that far out compares equal and passes whichever way
round it is written. At the other end a tenth of a second has no exact
double, so a budget assembled from tenths and one written as a decimal
would differ by a rounding error rather than by anything anyone
configured.
No budget this repository configures is near either end, and none ever
will be. That is exactly why the loss cannot be exposed by the real
files: a contract resting on them would pass with every term a
float.Scope: eight terms, not four
The issue lists four call sites for
seconds. They are not the whole ofit. The three compositions the ordering contract evaluates each mix a
duration with a value read from a workflow and with a constant:
required_ceilingtermination_allowancewatchdog_required_forMaking only the duration exact would have left every sum a
floatandthe new contract vacuous. So the watchdog budget read from a workflow,
the job ceiling converted from
timeout-minutes, and the fiveallowances in
timeout_budgetsare exact too.display_secondsreturns afloatbesideseconds, whitaker's shape.A float is what a reader wants to see in a message and not what a
comparison should rest on; different names make each caller choose
rather than handing everybody the lossy one.
Stated plainly rather than left to be found: nothing in this
repository calls
display_secondstoday. Every assertion message thatprints a duration formats a value it already holds, with
:.0f, whichFractionhas supported since 3.12. The function exists so that acaller wanting a number for a message has somewhere to go other than
making
secondslossy for everybody, which is the change this pullrequest is undoing. It is exercised by its own doctests, which run under
--doctest-modules. If the reviewer would rather not carry anuncalled helper, the alternative is to drop it and let callers write
float(...)at the point of use; I have kept it because #727 andwhitaker's port both name it, and because the name is the part that does
the work.
The contract, and the eight mutations
timeout_exactness_test.pydrives the three compositions at two to thesixtieth, where neighbouring doubles are 256 seconds apart and a
one-second difference is lost outright rather than only on one side of a
tie. Each case asserts the float collapse alongside the exact ordering,
so a case that stopped exercising the loss fails rather than passing
quietly.
Each of the eight terms was reverted to a
floatin turn:Total.as_secondsOUTSIDE_WATCHDOG_ALLOWANCE_SECONDSCEILING_MARGIN_SECONDSCOLD_BUILD_ALLOWANCE_SECONDSTERMINATION_SAFETY_MARGIN_SECONDSNEXTEST_DEFAULT_GRACE_PERIOD_SECONDSTwo of these are worth stating rather than leaving to be found. The two
allowances
required_ceilingsums fail the same ordering case, becausethe public function offers no way to vary them independently; they are
discriminated by a case naming each constant separately, so the report
says which of the two moved. And nextest's default grace period cannot
be driven by an ordering at all, since nothing about it varies, so it is
a term of the watchdog floor and fails only the
nextests-own-defaultleg. That parametrised pair discriminates rather than duplicates.
A further case asserts that the values actually in force arrive exact,
so a
floatreintroduced on the live path is caught without waiting fora budget nobody will set.
One float stays, deliberately
Fractionhas no notion ofnanorinfand raises on both. Convertingthe watchdog text directly would turn a workflow interpolating an
expression to
infinto unreadable text rather than the named refusalthat case deserves. So the text is parsed as a
float, checked forfiniteness and sign, and then converted from the text rather than
from the float, which keeps a tenth exactly a tenth. Nothing is compared
against the float on the way through.
Two things moved
required_ceilingmoves totimeout_budgets, beside the constants itsums: its signature change took
timeout_ordering_testto 403 lines,past the 400-line limit, and the function belongs with its terms rather
than with the contract that reads it.
The Hypothesis properties and the two local unit tables move to the exact
type and drop
pytest.approx. A tolerance can now only hide adisagreement: a millisecond is a thousandth, which no float holds, and
approxwould accept a reader that had rounded it.Overlap with #728
lane_environment._budget_fromand thetimeout-minutesconversion incoverage_laneschange type here, and #728 ("Let a fork's pull requestreach a runner it can have") works on the placement contracts, so the
two were checked against each other rather than assumed apart.
They share no Python file. #728 touches
fork_fallback,runner_placement_*,runner_shape_test,rust_source_reading,sccache_*andtrybuild_override_test; none of those is in thisdiff, and none of this diff's fifteen files is in #728. The one shared
file is
docs/developers-guide.md, and the hunks do not meet: #728writes at roughly lines 747 and 6862, this branch at 6972.
Whichever lands second rebases, with the usual audit on the guide.
The placement and lane contracts were run against this branch in their
own right, not merely as part of the suite, because the type change is
underneath them:
Gates
make check-fmt,make lint-python,make typecheck-python,make markdownlintandmake test-workflow-contractsall pass;cs delta origin/main --error-on-warningsexits clean. The contractsuite goes from 567 to 576 collected. The estate humantime differential
re-measures at 0 of 72 after the change, with the saved harness and
the pinned 2.3.0 probe. No Rust, Cargo manifest or workflow file
changes, so the Rust gates are untouched by this branch and were not
run.
One ruff finding is suppressed rather than fixed, with the reason beside
it: RUF069 on
float(larger) == float(smaller), where comparing twofloats for equality is the assertion rather than an oversight.
Summary by Sourcery
Make timeout tier comparisons exact end to end so distinct configured budgets cannot be treated as equal through floating-point rounding.
