Background

During CI log analysis for flaky tests, no flaky tests were found. However, the following tests are consistently failing and require investigation and remediation:

Test Suite Test Case Log File
Robot.Coverage Threshold Noxfile Contains Coverage Threshold Constant pr4583_integration_tests_run12211_job5.log
Robot.Actor Registry Persistence Actor Namespaced Name Validation pr_5271_integration_tests.log
Robot.Actor Add Yaml First Path Actor Add Preserves yaml_text Via Registry upsert_actor pr_5271_integration_tests.log

These tests are not flaky (intermittent) — they are consistently failing, which indicates a real defect in either the test or the production code.

Subtasks

  • Reproduce each failing test locally using nox -e integration_tests
  • Investigate Robot.Coverage ThresholdNoxfile Contains Coverage Threshold Constant failure root cause
  • Investigate Robot.Actor Registry PersistenceActor Namespaced Name Validation failure root cause
  • Investigate Robot.Actor Add Yaml First PathActor Add Preserves yaml_text Via Registry upsert_actor failure root cause
  • Determine if failures are due to test defects or production code defects
  • Fix each failing test (update test or fix production code as appropriate)
  • Verify all three tests pass consistently in CI
  • Ensure no regressions introduced by the fixes

Definition of Done

  • All three identified consistently failing tests pass in CI
  • Root cause of each failure is documented in a PR comment
  • No new test failures introduced
  • All nox stages pass
  • Coverage >= 97%

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.8.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.
