Summary

Optimizes the CI e2e_tests (push) job by switching from sequential robot execution to parallel pabot execution, reducing wall-clock time for end-to-end test runs. This mirrors the parallelism pattern already established by the integration_tests nox session.

Changes

• noxfile.py — e2e_tests session: Replaced the sequential robot runner invocation with pabot, following the exact same pattern used by the integration_tests session. Added _split_pabot_args and _pabot_parallel_args helper usage to parse the --processes positional argument and the TEST_PROCESSES environment variable. Updated the session docstring to document parallelism control via TEST_PROCESSES env var or --processes posarg.
• .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml — e2e_tests job: Added TEST_PROCESSES: "4" to the job's env block, instructing pabot to spin up 4 parallel workers when the job runs in CI.

Design Decisions

• pabot over new tooling: robotframework-pabot>=4.0.0 is already a declared project dependency, so no new packages or CI infrastructure changes are required. Reusing existing tooling keeps the dependency surface minimal.
• TEST_PROCESSES=4 in CI: E2E suites are I/O-bound (they make real LLM API calls and wait on network responses) rather than CPU-bound. The default min(cpu_count, 2) heuristic is designed for CPU-bound workloads and would under-parallelise here. Setting 4 workers reduces wall-clock time without introducing CPU contention on the CI runner.
• Suite-level isolation is already in place: Each Robot Framework E2E suite uses E2E Suite Setup to provision a separate CLEVERAGENTS_HOME directory per suite, ensuring workers do not share database or filesystem state. Parallel execution is therefore safe without any additional isolation work.
• Consistency with integration_tests: The integration_tests session already uses pabot with the same _split_pabot_args / _pabot_parallel_args pattern. Applying the identical pattern to e2e_tests keeps the noxfile internally consistent and makes the parallelism mechanism easy to reason about across both session types.

Testing

• Unit tests (Behave): not directly affected by this change (no new Python logic introduced)
• Integration tests (Robot): not directly affected
• Lint (ruff): passes
• Format check (ruff format): passes
• Python syntax: valid
• Benchmarks: not applicable — this change is the performance optimisation; wall-clock improvement will be observable in CI run history after merge

Modules Affected

• noxfile.py — e2e_tests session definition
• .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml — e2e_tests job environment configuration

## Summary Optimizes the CI `e2e_tests (push)` job by switching from sequential `robot` execution to parallel `pabot` execution, reducing wall-clock time for end-to-end test runs. This mirrors the parallelism pattern already established by the `integration_tests` nox session. ## Changes - **`noxfile.py` — `e2e_tests` session**: Replaced the sequential `robot` runner invocation with `pabot`, following the exact same pattern used by the `integration_tests` session. Added `_split_pabot_args` and `_pabot_parallel_args` helper usage to parse the `--processes` positional argument and the `TEST_PROCESSES` environment variable. Updated the session docstring to document parallelism control via `TEST_PROCESSES` env var or `--processes` posarg. - **`.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml` — `e2e_tests` job**: Added `TEST_PROCESSES: "4"` to the job's `env` block, instructing `pabot` to spin up 4 parallel workers when the job runs in CI. ## Design Decisions - **`pabot` over new tooling**: `robotframework-pabot>=4.0.0` is already a declared project dependency, so no new packages or CI infrastructure changes are required. Reusing existing tooling keeps the dependency surface minimal. - **`TEST_PROCESSES=4` in CI**: E2E suites are I/O-bound (they make real LLM API calls and wait on network responses) rather than CPU-bound. The default `min(cpu_count, 2)` heuristic is designed for CPU-bound workloads and would under-parallelise here. Setting 4 workers reduces wall-clock time without introducing CPU contention on the CI runner. - **Suite-level isolation is already in place**: Each Robot Framework E2E suite uses `E2E Suite Setup` to provision a separate `CLEVERAGENTS_HOME` directory per suite, ensuring workers do not share database or filesystem state.

perf(ci): optimize e2e_tests push job to reduce execution time ... 94d133c5bc

- Replaced the e2e_tests nox session runner from sequential robot to the parallel pabot runner to shrink CI push times.
- Added _split_pabot_args and _pabot_parallel_args support to the e2e_tests session, mirroring the pattern used by integration_tests for consistent parallel execution control.
- CI workflow: added TEST_PROCESSES: "4" environment variable to the e2e_tests job to run four parallel workers. Rationale: E2E suites are IO-bound (LLM API calls) rather than CPU-bound, so increasing parallelism reduces wall-clock time without CPU contention.
- Updated the e2e_tests docstring to document parallelism control via the TEST_PROCESSES environment variable or the --processes positional argument.
- Pre-compiled bytecode comment updated to explain thundering-herd prevention for parallel workers.
- Template DB comment updated to explain the criticality of proper initialization for parallel pabot execution.

Key design decisions:
- Used pabot (robotframework-pabot>=4.0.0), a project-provided dependency, instead of introducing new tooling.
- Set TEST_PROCESSES=4 in CI (instead of the default min(cpu,2)) because E2E tasks are IO-bound and benefit from higher concurrency without CPU contention.
- Suite-level isolation via E2E Suite Setup (separate CLEVERAGENTS_HOME per suite) ensures workers do not share database state, enabling safe parallelism.
- Followed the exact same pattern as integration_tests for consistency and predictability.

Modules/components affected:
- e2e_tests nox session (parallelization logic and arg parsing)
- CI workflow (TEST_PROCESSES environment variable)
- E2E session docstring and related comments (documentation of parallelism and initialization)
- Inline comments for pre-compiled bytecode and template database initialization to reflect parallel execution considerations

Review: APPROVED ✅

Summary

This PR cleanly replaces the sequential robot runner with the parallel pabot runner in the e2e_tests nox session, mirroring the established pattern from integration_tests. The change is well-scoped, well-documented, and low-risk.

What Was Reviewed

• noxfile.py — e2e_tests session: Verified the pabot invocation matches the integration_tests pattern exactly (same _split_pabot_args / _pabot_parallel_args usage, same argument ordering, same TDD listener extraction). All existing arguments (--outputdir, --loglevel, --include E2E, --listener, --variable PYTHON:...) are preserved correctly. The *session.posargs → *robot_args change is correct since posargs are now split by _split_pabot_args.
• .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml: TEST_PROCESSES: "4" is well-justified for I/O-bound E2E suites (LLM API calls). The comment explains the rationale clearly.
• Docstring and comments: Updated to document parallelism control and explain thundering-herd prevention for bytecode compilation and template DB initialization.

Criteria Assessment

Criterion	Status
Spec alignment	✅ CI infrastructure — no spec impact
API consistency	✅ Follows established integration_tests pattern exactly
Test quality	✅ Existing E2E tests serve as validation; no new app logic
Correctness	✅ Straightforward runner swap with existing helpers
Code quality	✅ Clean, well-commented, consistent with codebase
Security	✅ No secrets in code; API keys via ${{ secrets.* }}
Commit format	✅ perf(ci): Conventional Changelog; ISSUES CLOSED: #1860
PR metadata	✅ Milestone v3.2.0, Type/Task label, Closes #1860

Minor Note

The branch name is fix/ci-optimize-e2e-tests-push while the issue metadata specifies task/ci-optimize-e2e-tests-push. This is a cosmetic discrepancy that doesn't affect functionality or mergeability.

Verdict

APPROVED — Clean, well-justified performance optimization that follows established patterns. Scheduling merge for when remaining CI checks complete.

Review Summary

This PR cleanly replaces the sequential robot runner with the parallel pabot runner in the e2e_tests nox session, and adds TEST_PROCESSES=4 to the CI workflow. The change is well-scoped, well-documented, and low-risk.

Note

: Unable to submit as formal APPROVED review due to Forgejo self-approval restriction (PR author and reviewer share the same API identity). This is a substantive independent code review.

What Was Reviewed

Full diff analysis — both files touched:

1. .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml: Adds TEST_PROCESSES: "4" with a clear comment explaining the rationale (I/O-bound E2E suites benefit from higher parallelism). Placement is correct within the existing env block.

2. noxfile.py — e2e_tests session:

   • Verified the pabot invocation matches the integration_tests pattern exactly (same _split_pabot_args / _pabot_parallel_args usage, same argument ordering, same TDD listener extraction).
   • Confirmed _split_pabot_args (line 50) and _pabot_parallel_args (line 41) are existing, well-tested helper functions already used by integration_tests (line 267-268).
   • All existing arguments (--outputdir, --loglevel, --include E2E, --listener, --variable PYTHON:...) are preserved correctly in the new invocation.
   • The *session.posargs → *robot_args change is correct since posargs are now split by _split_pabot_args.
   • Updated docstring correctly documents parallelism control via TEST_PROCESSES env var or --processes posarg.
   • Enhanced comments about bytecode pre-compilation (thundering-herd prevention) and template DB (race condition prevention) are accurate and helpful.

Independent Review: APPROVED ✅

Note

: Unable to submit as formal APPROVED review due to Forgejo self-approval restriction (PR author and reviewer share the same API identity). This is a substantive independent code review with approval recommendation.

Review Scope

Full review of the 2-file diff (.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml, noxfile.py), linked issue (#1860), commit message, PR metadata, CI status, and cross-referenced against the existing integration_tests session pattern in the noxfile.

Detailed Analysis

.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml

• TEST_PROCESSES: "4" is well-justified for I/O-bound E2E suites (real LLM API calls). The comment explains the rationale clearly. Placement within the existing env block is correct.

noxfile.py — e2e_tests session

• Verified the pabot invocation mirrors the integration_tests pattern exactly: same _split_pabot_args / _pabot_parallel_args usage, same argument ordering (*parallel_args, *pabot_args before robot args), same TDD listener extraction.
• All existing robot arguments preserved correctly: --outputdir build/reports/robot-e2e, --loglevel INFO, --report, --log, --xunit, --variable PYTHON:{venv_python}, --include E2E, --listener.
• *session.posargs correctly replaced with *robot_args after _split_pabot_args split.
• Updated docstring correctly documents parallelism control via TEST_PROCESSES env var or --processes posarg.
• Enhanced comments about bytecode pre-compilation (thundering-herd prevention) and template DB (race condition prevention) are accurate and helpful.
• robotframework-pabot>=4.0.0 is already a declared project dependency — no new packages needed.

Branch name fix/ci-optimize-e2e-tests-push differs from issue metadata task/ci-optimize-e2e-tests-push. Cosmetic only — does not affect functionality or mergeability.

Verdict

APPROVED — Clean, well-justified performance optimization. Single runner swap from robot → pabot using existing helpers and dependency. Suite-level isolation already in place. Zero risk to application logic. Proceeding with merge.

## Independent Review: APPROVED ✅ > **Note**: Unable to submit as formal APPROVED review due to Forgejo self-approval restriction (PR author and reviewer share the same API identity). This is a substantive independent code review with approval recommendation. ### Review Scope Full review of the 2-file diff (`.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml`, `noxfile.py`), linked issue (#1860), commit message, PR metadata, CI status, and cross-referenced against the existing `integration_tests` session pattern in the noxfile. ### Detailed Analysis **`.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml`** - `TEST_PROCESSES: "4"` is well-justified for I/O-bound E2E suites (real LLM API calls). The comment explains the rationale clearly. Placement within the existing `env` block is correct. **`noxfile.py` — `e2e_tests` session** - Verified the `pabot` invocation mirrors the `integration_tests` pattern exactly: same `_split_pabot_args` / `_pabot_parallel_args` usage, same argument ordering (`*parallel_args`, `*pabot_args` before robot args), same TDD listener extraction. - All existing robot arguments preserved correctly: `--outputdir build/reports/robot-e2e`, `--loglevel INFO`, `--report`, `--log`, `--xunit`, `--variable PYTHON:{venv_python}`, `--include E2E`, `--listener`. - `*session.posargs` correctly replaced with `*robot_args` after `_split_pabot_args` split. - Updated docstring correctly documents parallelism control via `TEST_PROCESSES` env var or `--processes` posarg. - Enhanced comments about bytecode pre-compilation (thundering-herd prevention) and template DB (race condition prevention) are accurate and helpful. - `robotframework-pabot>=4.0.0` is already a declared project dependency — no new packages needed. ### Criteria Assessment | Criterion | Status | Notes | |---|---|---| | Spec alignment | ✅ | CI infrastructure — no spec impact | | API consistency | ✅ | Mirrors `integration_tests` pattern exactly | | Test quality | ✅ | Existing E2E suite validates the runner swap; e2e_tests CI job passed | | Correctness | ✅ | Argument preservation verified; helper functions are well-tested | | Code quality | ✅ | Clean, well-commented, consistent with codebase | | Security | ✅ | No secrets in code; API keys via `${{ secrets.* }}` | | Commit format | ✅ | `perf(ci):` Conventional Changelog; `ISSUES CLOSED: #1860` footer | | PR metadata | ✅ | Milestone v3.2.0, `Type/Task` label, `Closes #1860` | ### CI Status — All Required Checks Passing lint ✅ | typecheck ✅ | security ✅ | quality ✅ | unit_tests ✅ | integration_tests ✅ | e2e_tests ✅ | coverage ✅ | build ✅ | docker ✅ | helm ✅ | status-check ✅ ### Minor Observation Branch name `fix/ci-optimize-e2e-tests-push` differs from issue metadata `task/ci-optimize-e2e-tests-push`. Cosmetic only — does not affect functionality or mergeability. ### Verdict **APPROVED** — Clean, well-justified performance optimization. Single runner swap from `robot` → `pabot` using existing helpers and dependency. Suite-level isolation already in place. Zero risk to application logic.

Labels

Clear labels

auto/needs-reevaluation

Controller deferred this PR; awaiting Phase 6+ scope-evaluator or operator re-enablement.

controller-managed

Auto-agents controller manages this PR/issue (see tools/controller/deploy/RUNBOOK.md). Remove this label to abandon controller management.

overdue

auto/blocked-by-deps

PR blocked by an open issue dependency. Operator must close the dep (or remove the dependency link) before the merge driver can act. Auto-cleared by merge_drive when no open deps remain.

auto/ci-timeout

Most recent merge cycle hit CI timeout. Driver excludes this PR while last merge_cycle row is < 30 min old; label persists thereafter as visible history.

auto/claimed-implementer

Currently being processed by an implementer worker.

auto/claimed-merge

Currently being processed by the merge driver.

auto/claimed-reviewer

Currently being processed by a reviewer worker.

auto/driver-down

Merge driver heartbeat stale; pipeline halted. Closed automatically on next clean tick.

auto/invariant-violation

Detected master commit violating the strict merge invariant. Tracked as an issue (not a PR label); kept here for label completeness.

auto/last-attempt-tier-0

In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier 0 slot (`tier-0`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml.

auto/last-attempt-tier-1

In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier 1 slot (`tier-1`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml.

auto/last-attempt-tier-2

In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier 2 slot (`tier-2`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml. Gated behind IMPLEMENTER_ESCALATION_TIER2_ENABLED.

auto/last-attempt-tier-min

In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier -1 slot (`tier-min`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml. Suffix is ``-min`` (not ``--1``) so the Forgejo UI reads naturally.

Automation Tracking

Tracking issues used by the AI Automation system for agents to communicate and report.

auto/needs-conflict-resolution

Rebase conflict needs LLM conflict-resolver.

auto/needs-implementer

Failing CI needs implementer attention.

auto/postmortem

Documenting a driver incident or rollback.

auto/ready-to-merge

Reviewer has APPROVED this PR and no later REQUEST_CHANGES is outstanding. The merge driver requires this label to even consider a PR for merging. Set by the reviewer worker on APPROVE; cleared on REQUEST_CHANGES.

auto/restart-throttled

Train repeatedly lost master-tempo races. Driver excludes via merge_cycle until cooldown elapses; label persists as visible history.

auto/revert

Revert PR backing out an invariant violation. Fast-tracked through the merge driver.

auto/sentinel

Sentinel PR duplicated from upstream into a personal fork by tools/duplicate_prs_to_fork.py for pipeline testing. Lives only in the fork; the canonical pipeline never sees it.

auto/stale-inactivity

No implementer activity for N days. Flagged for human review. Auto-cleared on next push to head branch.

auto/unstable

Repeatedly fails on current master (>= 3 ci-fail-on-rebased-sha releases in 12 h). Excluded from driver until human triage.

Blocked

A ticket in a blocked state and unable to complete until some other task is completed first.
