  • Commit Message: test(e2e): workflow example 11 — complex graph actor for multi-stage code review (trusted profile)
  • Branch: test/e2e-wf11-graph-actor

Background

E2E test for Specification Workflow Example 11: Complex Graph Actor for Multi-Stage Code Review. Expert-level scenario using the trusted automation profile. A team builds a custom graph-type actor with 5 nodes (dispatch → security/performance/style in parallel → synthesize) for multi-stage code review. The action is read-only (no file modifications). Uses YAML-defined graph topology, parallel fan-out, specialized sub-actors, and Jinja2 template engine for system prompts.

Zero mocking — real CLI, real LLM API keys, real subprocess execution. Robot Framework test tagged @E2E.

Expected Behavior

The test registers a custom graph actor with 5 nodes and 6 edges, creates a read-only review action, executes the plan (parallel fan-out to security/performance/style reviewers), and verifies a unified review report is generated with no file modifications.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Robot Framework test suite tagged [Tags] E2E in robot/e2e/
  • Test registers a custom graph-type actor with YAML-defined topology (5 nodes, 6 edges)
  • Test creates a read-only action (read_only: true)
  • Test executes plan and verifies parallel fan-out to 3 reviewer nodes
  • Test verifies unified review report is synthesized from parallel results
  • Test verifies no file modifications (read-only action)
  • All invocations use real LLM API keys — no mocking, stubbing, or test doubles
  • Output validation is flexible
  • Test passes via nox -s e2e_tests

Subtasks

  • Write robot/e2e/wf11_graph_actor.robot with [Tags] E2E
  • Create graph actor YAML fixture with 5-node topology
  • Create temp project with code review target fixture
  • Implement graph actor review workflow
  • Add flexible assertions for review report structure
  • Verify via nox -s e2e_tests
  • Verify coverage >=97% via nox -s coverage_report
  • Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors

Implementation submitted in PR #796.

File changed: robot/e2e/wf11_graph_actor.robot

The test creates a 5-node graph actor (dispatch → security/performance/style → synthesize) with 6 edges, registers a read-only action with trusted automation profile, and exercises the full plan lifecycle (use → execute → diff) verifying no source file modifications.

All quality checks pass: nox -s lint, nox -s format -- --check, nox -s typecheck.

Self-QA Implementation Notes (Cycles 1–5)

Cycle 1

Review findings (1C/5M/2m/1n):

  • Critical false-pass path in read-only validation (Verify No Source Modifications treated missing repo path as success).
  • Major requirement gaps around WF11: Jinja2 templating coverage, parallel fan-out proof, synthesized unified-report proof, and graph topology verification.
  • Missing environment guard and weaker diagnostics/hygiene checks.

Fixes applied:

  • Made missing repo path a hard failure and validated git status rc.
  • Added WF11 Jinja2 marker/assertion coverage.
  • Added fan-out/synthesis/topology assertions and read-only guard setup.
  • Made plan-id extraction fail-fast and added git rc assertions.
  • Updated PR description baseline.

Cycle 2

Review findings (1C/6M/3m/0n):

  • Core assertions still validated static fixture text rather than runtime artifacts.
  • Read-only/no-changeset handling remained permissive.
  • Logging and re-execute gating still too broad in places.

Fixes applied:

  • Shifted assertions to runtime evidence (actor/runtime outputs, execution/diff/artifacts context).
  • Added strict no-changeset/read-only classification keywords.
  • Introduced safer command-result logging and reduced raw output exposure.
  • Tightened second-execute gating and keyword semantics.
  • Re-ran quality gates and force-pushed updated commit.

Cycle 3

Review findings (1C/6M/4m/0n):

  • Remaining false-pass vectors around runtime proof quality.
  • Shared helper still exposed raw logs in some flows.
  • Read-only/no-changeset and execution diagnostics required stronger hardening.
  • Process-compliance gap (changelog coverage) identified.

Fixes applied:

  • Strengthened runtime evidence checks and no-read-write changeset assertions.
  • Hardened shared logging behavior in robot/e2e/common_e2e.resource.
  • Improved plan-id extraction robustness and added explicit test timeout.
  • Added/updated changelog and refreshed PR description.

Cycle 4

Review findings (1C/6M/1m/0n):

  • Runtime proof still allowed keyword-level false positives.
  • Exact topology cardinality/edge-tuple strictness needed.
  • Additional safe-assertion hardening and trusted-profile metadata proof requested.

Fixes applied:

  • Enforced strict runtime branch/synthesis marker ordering.
  • Added exact topology count and edge-tuple assertions.
  • Tightened structured JSON status gating for second execute.
  • Added safe traceback/assertion handling and trusted-profile metadata assertion.
  • Updated PR description/changelog with cycle-4 hardening details.

Cycle 5

Review findings (0C/5M/2m/1n):

  • Skip classification and runtime-topology handling still too permissive in edge cases.
  • Fan-out/synthesis proof contamination risk from marker text origin.
  • Timeout budgeting and minor logging/maintainability consistency concerns.

Fixes applied:

  • Tightened read-only rejection classifier (context + explicit rejection signals).
  • Removed fixture topology fallback; runtime-only topology assertions enforced.
  • Added explicit stable-status polling before second execute decisions.
  • Hardened runtime evidence checks and sanitized marker interpretation.
  • Rebalanced timeout budgets and removed residual raw stderr leakage.
  • Consolidated safe-logging usage to shared helper and updated messaging.

Remaining Issues

  • Runtime visibility limitation: in some environments, actor show --format json may omit topology fields. WF11 now explicitly skips in that case (no fixture fallback, no false pass). Full strict assertion depends on runtime/CLI exposing topology metadata consistently.
  • CI status at post time: latest workflow for the current head was still running when this note was posted.
  • No unresolved critical findings remain from implemented review comments, but another review cycle is required for final approval verdict.

Self-QA Implementation Notes (Cycles 1–4)

PR !796 underwent 4 automated review/fix cycles. Final verdict: Approved on Cycle 4.


Cycle 1

Review findings: 0C/6M/0m/0n

  • M1: Tautological Should Not Be Empty check on execution output (string always contains \n separators)
  • M2: Wait For Stable Plan Status silently returns transient status on poll exhaustion
  • M3: Assert Execute Progressed Beyond Strategize passes on empty/malformed status JSON
  • M4: Two CHANGELOG entries for a single commit (violates CONTRIBUTING.md §6)
  • M5: Significant code duplication between first and second execute blocks
  • M6: Should Contain leaks raw CLI output into CI logs on failure

Fixes applied:

  • M1: Added Strip String before Should Not Be Empty to detect truly-empty output
  • M2: Added Log ... WARN after poll exhaustion for visibility in CI logs
  • M3: Added three-layer defense: reject empty JSON, reject failed states, positive assertion for forward progress
  • M4: Consolidated into single CHANGELOG entry; restored accidentally deleted #901 entry
  • M5: Extracted shared Execute Plan And Validate keyword with parameterized plan ID, label, and skip message
  • M6: Added custom failure messages to avoid raw CLI output in assertion messages

Cycle 2

Review findings: 0C/1M/8m/6n

  • M1: DRY violation — route-finding logic duplicated verbatim across two keywords (~25-30 identical lines)
  • m1-m8: Redundant IF/ELSE code, missing git timeouts, incomplete sanitization filters, overly broad regex, no test teardown, file exceeds 500-line guideline, local keywords should be promoted to shared resource

Fixes applied:

  • M1: Extracted Extract Route From Actor JSON helper keyword used by both callers
  • m1: Moved Assert Runtime Review Evidence Present after END block
  • m2: Added timeout=60s on_timeout=kill to all Run Process git calls
  • m3: Added fourth sanitization filter for performance_branch_report, style_branch_report
  • m4: Changed regex from (?m)^---\s+ to (?m)^---[ \t]+ for specificity
  • m5: Removed overly broad "profile" regex alternative
  • m6: Added WF11 Test Teardown keyword with diagnostic plan status logging on failure
  • m7: Reduced file from 673 to ~628 lines through DRY improvements
  • m8: Promoted Assert Output Has No Traceback and Extract Plan Id to common_e2e.resource
  • n1-n3, n5-n6: Fixed tag consistency (Force Tags), increased timeout to 50min, added documentation

Cycle 3

Review findings: 0C/1M/7m/8n

  • M1: DEBUG-level stdout/stderr logging removed from common_e2e.resource, degrading CI debuggability for all E2E suites
  • m1-m7: Route extraction fallback chain premature termination, raw stdout in test teardown, missing git timeout, assertion messages leaking raw content, formatting-dependent sanitization, shared keyword naming shadow

Fixes applied:

  • M1: Restored Log STDOUT/STDERR ... level=DEBUG alongside Log Process Result Summary in both Run CleverAgents Command and Run CLI
  • m1: Changed all .get('route', $container) to .get('route', {}) with structural fallback for containers with nodes/edges
  • m2: Replaced raw Log ... WARN in teardown with Log Process Result Summary
  • m3: Added timeout=60s on_timeout=kill to Verify No Source Modifications
  • m4: Added custom msg= parameters to all 5 Should Not Match Regexp calls
  • m5: Added custom failure message to Should Contain changeset check
  • m6: Added documentation comment explaining sanitization formatting assumptions
  • m7: Renamed shared keyword to Extract Plan Id From Outputs to avoid shadowing
  • n1, n3-n4, n6-n8: Updated commit body, added defensive guard comments, added security rationale docs, updated legacy error messages, sanitized exception messages

Cycle 4

Review findings: 0C/0M/7m/6n — APPROVED

All remaining findings are non-blocking defense-in-depth improvements:

  • values=False on assertions for consistent secure logging posture
  • Duplicate Log Process Result Summary calls (intentional for descriptive labels)
  • Poll exhaustion diagnostic clarity
  • Minor DRY opportunity in topology validation expression
  • File length (662 lines, justified by inline YAML fixtures)
