Cap time.sleep and asyncio.sleep globally at 10ms in before_all to
eliminate retry/backoff waits (tenacity wait_fixed, retry_auto_debug
exponential backoff). Save originals as time._original_sleep and
asyncio._original_sleep for tests that need real wall-clock delays
(CircuitBreaker recovery, debounce timers, validation timeouts).
Enhance template-DB patch: add "db." prefix to _SCENARIO_DB_PREFIXES
and check db_path.stat().st_size > 0 so 0-byte auto-created SQLite
files receive the template copy instead of falling through to real
migrations.
Replace subprocess.run CLI invocations with typer.testing.CliRunner
in module_coverage, main_coverage_complete, and coverage_extras step
files, eliminating ~6s Python cold-start overhead per call.
Switch plan_persistence and action_persistence to in-memory SQLite by
default; only cross-restart scenarios use file-based via an explicit
Given step.
Replace MigrationRunner.run_migrations with Base.metadata.create_all
in plan_service_steps for freshly created in-memory engines.
Removed leftover debug comment in environment.py.
Total tier runtime: 565s -> 21s (96% reduction), 20 features all
under 5s behave-internal time.
ISSUES CLOSED: #480
Optimized the 8 features accounting for 64% of total BDD test runtime
(1,505s of 2,352s):
- features/environment.py: Added _ensure_template_db() for direct behave
invocations, expanded _SCENARIO_DB_PREFIXES to include "test_" for
step-file-created DBs, added @mock_only tag support to skip
unnecessary DB setup.
- features/plan_commands_coverage.feature: Added @mock_only tag (fully
mocked, no DB needed).
- features/plan_service.feature: 14 actor-resolution scenarios now use
lightweight in-memory plan service instead of heavyweight file-based
DB + project init.
- features/steps/plan_service_steps.py: New
step_create_lightweight_plan_service for actor-resolution tests.
- features/steps/services_coverage_steps.py: Extracted 3 helper functions
to consolidate 8 near-identical Given steps (~200 lines of duplicated
boilerplate removed).
Per-feature results: services_coverage 245s->2.8s (99%), context_service
215s->2.1s (99%), project_service 140s->0.7s (99%), plan_service
215s->4.6s (98%), core_cli_commands 113s->4.2s (96%), cli_streaming
213s->6.4s (97%), plan_commands_coverage 116s->20s (83%),
cli_plan_context_commands 248s->31.6s (87%).
ISSUES CLOSED: #479
Remove FakeListLLM as a silent fallback in agent graph constructors
(plan_generation.py, context_analysis.py, auto_debug.py). All three now
raise ValueError when llm=None, making missing-provider errors explicit.
Add Settings.mock_providers flag and validate_provider_availability()
method. Update container.get_ai_provider() to check Settings.mock_providers
first, with env-var fallback for backward compatibility.
Add resolve_provider_by_name() helper to the provider registry and export
it from cleveragents.providers. Add structlog trace logging to
ProviderRegistry.get_default_provider_type() to record selection reasoning.
Update all existing behave step files, robot tests, and benchmarks that
relied on the implicit FakeListLLM default to pass an explicit LLM
instance instead.
Add new BDD tests (features/provider_fixes.feature with 17 scenarios),
Robot Framework integration tests (robot/provider_detection_smoke.robot),
and ASV benchmarks (benchmarks/provider_selection_bench.py).
