Summary

  • Make apply_tdd_inversion() surface non-AssertionError guard firings in
    standard Behave output by emitting the warning to both stderr and the
    structured logger via a new _warning_with_stderr helper.
  • Add BDD coverage in features/tdd_expected_fail_infrastructure.feature:
    • Positive scenario: asserts the guard warning IS emitted to stderr when
      a non-AssertionError exception (e.g. RuntimeError) prevents inversion.
    • Negative scenario: asserts the guard warning is NOT emitted when the
      exception IS an AssertionError (correct expected-fail signal path), and
      confirms the step is correctly set to passed after inversion.
  • Document in CONTRIBUTING.md that @tdd_expected_fail bug-signaling failures
    must use AssertionError (assert / raise AssertionError(...)) so
    infrastructure/runtime exceptions are not accidentally treated as expected bug
    failures.
  • Add CHANGELOG.md entry for #8294 under [Unreleased] → ### Fixed.

Approach

_warning_with_stderr(message: str) is a module-private helper that calls
_tdd_logger.warning(message) and print(message, file=sys.stderr). The call
site uses an f-string rather than lazy %-style formatting; an inline comment
documents this is intentional because the message is always emitted to stderr
via print() so deferred formatting provides no benefit. An additional inline
comment in _warning_with_stderr documents that the dual-emit is intentional:
the logger may route to structured sinks not visible in CI output, so stderr
guarantees visibility in Behave's console output.

Exception text in the guard warning is defensively truncated to 500 characters
(exc_text = str(step.exception)[:500]) to avoid runaway output for exceptions
with very long str() representations.

The stderr output should not contain BDD step validates the negative path using
redirect_stderr / StringIO capture, the same mechanism as the positive
scenario. The negative scenario now also asserts And the step "bug step" should have status "passed" to match the positive scenario's step-level status coverage
and make the asymmetry explicit.

Audit (AC #4)

An audit was performed of all existing apply_tdd_inversion callers and
@tdd_expected_fail scenarios across the codebase. No violations were found:
all existing scenarios correctly use AssertionError-based failures.

Deferred items

  • n1: The "unexpected pass" warning path (_tdd_logger.warning on line ~238)
    was not updated to use _warning_with_stderr; this is out of scope for #8294
    and will be addressed if it causes CI visibility issues (follow-up ticket
    recommended).
  • m4: No isolated unit test for _warning_with_stderr — acceptable for this PR.
    A dedicated unit test should be added in a follow-up ticket.

Validation

  • nox -e lint ✓
  • nox -e typecheck ✓ (0 errors, 3 import-source warnings — pre-existing)
  • nox -e unit_tests ✓ (22 scenarios in tdd_expected_fail_infrastructure.feature, all pass)
  • nox -e integration_tests ✓ (1873 Robot Framework tests passed, 0 failed; pabot exit 252 is a reporting artifact, not a test failure — confirmed via xunit.xml and output.xml)
  • nox -e e2e_tests ✓ (114 E2E tests passed, 0 failed; LLM API keys available in environment)
  • nox (full suite) ✓ (lint, format, typecheck, security_scan, dead_code, unit_tests, integration_tests, docs, build, coverage_report — all sessions successful)
  • nox -s coverage_report ✓ (coverage: 97.25% ≥ 97% threshold — AC5 satisfied)

Closes #8294

## Summary - Make `apply_tdd_inversion()` surface non-`AssertionError` guard firings in standard Behave output by emitting the warning to both `stderr` and the structured logger via a new `_warning_with_stderr` helper. - Add BDD coverage in `features/tdd_expected_fail_infrastructure.feature`: - **Positive scenario**: asserts the guard warning IS emitted to stderr when a non-`AssertionError` exception (e.g. `RuntimeError`) prevents inversion. - **Negative scenario**: asserts the guard warning is NOT emitted when the exception IS an `AssertionError` (correct expected-fail signal path), and confirms the step is correctly set to `passed` after inversion. - Document in `CONTRIBUTING.md` that `@tdd_expected_fail` bug-signaling failures must use `AssertionError` (`assert` / `raise AssertionError(...)`) so infrastructure/runtime exceptions are not accidentally treated as expected bug failures. - Add `CHANGELOG.md` entry for #8294 under `[Unreleased] → ### Fixed`. ## Approach `_warning_with_stderr(message: str)` is a module-private helper that calls `_tdd_logger.warning(message)` and `print(message, file=sys.stderr)`. The call site uses an f-string rather than lazy `%`-style formatting; an inline comment documents this is intentional because the message is always emitted to `stderr` via `print()` so deferred formatting provides no benefit.

Implementation Review

features/environment.py — _warning_with_stderr helper

  • Clean, minimal helper with a clear docstring explaining the dual-emit rationale.
  • Defensive truncation of exception text to 500 chars is appropriate.
  • Switching from lazy %-style to f-string is intentional and correctly documented with an inline comment.
  • Type annotation (message: str) -> None) is correct.

features/steps/tdd_expected_fail_infrastructure_steps.py — new step definitions

  • step_run_apply_inversion_failed_capture_stderr correctly uses contextlib.redirect_stderr + StringIO for clean, side-effect-free stderr capture.
  • step_check_stderr_contains and step_check_stderr_not_contains both guard against missing context.captured_stderr with a clear error message pointing to the correct When step.
  • All new steps have proper type annotations and docstrings.

features/tdd_expected_fail_infrastructure.feature — new BDD scenarios

  • Positive scenario (apply_tdd_inversion surfaces non-AssertionError guard warning to stderr): correctly asserts guard fires, result is True (not inverted), and stderr contains the expected warning text.
  • Negative scenario (apply_tdd_inversion does not emit guard warning for AssertionError exceptions): correctly asserts no warning emitted, result is False (inverted), and step status is passed — providing symmetric coverage to the positive path.

CHANGELOG.md — entry is accurate, well-scoped, and placed correctly under [Unreleased] → ### Fixed.

CONTRIBUTING.md — the new rule is clear, actionable, and placed in the correct section (TDD Issue Test Tags).

Deferred Items (Acknowledged)

The PR explicitly documents two acceptable deferrals:

  • n1: The "unexpected pass" warning path (_tdd_logger.warning ~line 238) not updated — out of scope for #8294.
  • m4: No isolated unit test for _warning_with_stderr — acceptable; follow-up ticket recommended.

Neither deferred item blocks this PR.

Verdict

All five acceptance criteria from issue #8294 are satisfied. The code is correct, well-tested, and does not introduce regressions. Approved for merge.
