Bug Report

Feature Area: autonomy-hierarchical-decomposition / Test Infrastructure
Severity: Critical — all integration tests are blocked; v3.5.0 acceptance criteria cannot be verified
Source: scripts/create_template_db.py — SQLite disk I/O error when creating template database

What Was Tested

Attempted to run nox -e integration_tests to verify v3.5.0 integration test suite (including m6_e2e_verification.robot and m6_autonomy_acceptance.robot).

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per the v3.5.0 Definition of Done:

nox passes with coverage ≥ 97% including large-project suites

The integration test suite should run successfully, including all Robot Framework tests in robot/.

Actual Behavior

nox -e integration_tests fails immediately during the pre-test setup phase when scripts/create_template_db.py attempts to create the pre-migrated SQLite template database:

nox > Command python scripts/create_template_db.py /app/build/.template-migrated.db failed with exit code 1:
sqlite3.OperationalError: disk I/O error
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) disk I/O error
(Background on this error at: https://sqlalche.me/e/20/e3q8)
nox > Session integration_tests-3.13 failed.

This error occurs in all three parallel test runs (unit_tests_1.log, unit_tests_2.log, unit_tests_3.log), indicating a systemic issue with the SQLite template database creation.

Code Location

scripts/create_template_db.py — create_template() function
noxfile.py — _create_template_db() function (lines 69-84)
build/ directory — target location for template database

Root Cause Analysis

The create_template_db.py script attempts to create a SQLite database at build/.template-migrated.db. The disk I/O error suggests one of:

The build/ directory has incorrect permissions (read-only)
The filesystem is full or has I/O errors
A concurrent process is locking the database file
The build/ directory path is on a filesystem that doesn't support SQLite's locking mechanism

The build/ directory currently contains test.db and test_write.txt, suggesting the directory exists but may have permission issues for creating new files.

Steps to Reproduce

nox -e integration_tests
# Expected: Integration tests run successfully
# Actual: Fails immediately with:
# "sqlite3.OperationalError: disk I/O error"

Impact

All Robot Framework integration tests are blocked
m6_e2e_verification.robot cannot run (v3.5.0 acceptance tests)
m6_autonomy_acceptance.robot cannot run
autonomy_guardrails.robot cannot run
The v3.5.0 milestone cannot be verified end-to-end

Note

This may be related to the existing CI failure tracked in issue #4922 (Master CI Failing — lint + integration_tests). However, the root cause here is specifically the SQLite disk I/O error in create_template_db.py, which is a different failure mode from the lint failure.

Subtasks

Investigate build/ directory permissions and filesystem state
Fix the SQLite disk I/O error in create_template_db.py
Verify nox -e integration_tests runs successfully
Verify all v3.5.0 Robot Framework tests pass

Definition of Done

nox -e integration_tests exits 0
All Robot Framework tests in robot/ run without setup failures
m6_e2e_verification.robot and m6_autonomy_acceptance.robot pass

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: CI Blocker — all integration tests are blocked by a SQLite disk I/O error in create_template_db.py. This prevents verification of all v3.5.0 acceptance criteria.
Milestone: v3.5.0 — directly blocks milestone acceptance verification
Story Points: 3 — M — requires investigating build/ directory permissions, fixing the SQLite creation issue, and verifying the full integration test suite runs
MoSCoW: Must Have — already labeled correctly. Without integration tests running, v3.5.0 cannot be verified.
Parent Epic: Needs linking to the testing/infrastructure epic

Triage Rationale: This is a systemic CI blocker — not just one failing test, but ALL integration tests are blocked. The root cause (SQLite disk I/O error) is likely a permissions or filesystem issue in the build/ directory. This must be fixed before any v3.5.0 acceptance testing can proceed.
