Metadata

Commit message: feat(domain): align action model with spec
Branch name: fix/flaky-test-align-action-model-with-spec

Background and Context

The test feat(domain): align action model with spec has been observed to be flaky, with intermittent failures and successes across multiple CI runs. This instability undermines confidence in the test suite and may mask real regressions.

Run History

Run #4223: success
Run #4224: success
Run #4220: failure

Suspected Cause

The flakiness of this test may be due to a race condition or a dependency on an external service that is not always available. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause.

Duplicate Check

Open Issues: Search - No duplicates found.
All Issues (Cross-Area): Search - No duplicates found.
Closed Issues: Search - No duplicates found.

Expected Behavior

The test feat(domain): align action model with spec should pass consistently on every CI run without intermittent failures. The test suite should be deterministic and reliable.

Acceptance Criteria

The root cause of the flakiness is identified and documented.
The test passes consistently across a minimum of 10 consecutive CI runs after the fix is applied.
No new flakiness is introduced in related tests.
The fix is covered by a brief explanation in the PR description or inline comments.

Subtasks

Reproduce the failure locally or in CI to confirm the flaky behaviour.
Analyse the test for race conditions, shared mutable state, or external service dependencies.
Implement a fix (e.g., proper mocking, test isolation, retry logic removal, or deterministic ordering).
Verify the fix by running the test suite repeatedly (≥ 10 times) to confirm stability.
Update or add test documentation if the fix changes test setup/teardown patterns.

Definition of Done

This issue should be closed when:

The root cause of the flakiness has been identified.
A fix has been implemented and merged to the main branch.
The test passes consistently across ≥ 10 consecutive CI runs post-fix.
No regressions are introduced in the domain test suite.

🔍 Triage Decision — Verified ✅

Type: Bug / Test Reliability / Domain
Priority: Medium
MoSCoW: Should Have

This issue is verified. The test feat(domain): align action model with spec has been observed to fail intermittently (1 failure in 3 recorded runs: run #4220). Flaky domain tests are particularly concerning because they can mask real regressions in the action model — a core domain concept.

Rationale:

The failure pattern (1/3 runs) is a higher rate than the git command flaky test (#9589), suggesting a more systemic issue — likely a race condition, shared mutable state, or non-deterministic ordering in the domain test setup.
Classified Should Have — domain test reliability is important for confidence in the action model, but does not block milestone delivery if isolated to this one test.
The fix should analyse the test for race conditions or shared state, implement proper isolation, and verify stability across ≥ 10 consecutive runs.

Next steps: Reproduce the failure locally, analyse for race conditions or shared mutable state in the domain test setup, implement isolation, and verify post-fix stability.
