Three-pronged fix for intermittent pabot-parallel race condition in
M4 validation integration tests:
1. Composable Setup Database Isolation keyword in common.resource
gives each suite a unique CLEVERAGENTS_DATABASE_URL so concurrent
pabot workers never contend on the same SQLite file.
2. Per-suite CLEVERAGENTS_HOME directories prevent shared temp
directory cleanup from racing between workers.
3. Centralised reset_global_state() in robot/helpers_common.py clears
Settings singleton, DI container, provider registry, and engine
cache between chained CLI invocations in helper processes.
Also:
- Setup Test Environment now accepts optional mock_ai and
auto_apply_migrations arguments (default TRUE) for backward
compatibility while allowing suites to opt out.
- Added Suite Teardown to cli_plan_context_commands.robot.
- Fixed _COMMANDS typing in two helpers to eliminate type: ignore.
- Updated docs/development/testing.md to reflect helpers_common
delegation pattern.
- Added timeout=30s to all Run Process calls in
m4_e2e_verification.robot.
Fixes: #563
Three fixes targeting CI integration_tests failures (18 failures on e8aa5ac):
1. Merge duplicate *** Settings *** blocks in 14 robot files into single
blocks. Multiple Settings sections are non-standard RF practice and
may cause resource import failures in certain Robot Framework versions
or CI environments.
2. Replace bare 'python' with ${PYTHON} variable in all Run Process
calls (14 files). Noxfile now passes --variable PYTHON:<venv-path>
to robot so tests use the venv interpreter regardless of PATH. This
fixes '/usr/local/bin/python: No module named cleveragents' on CI.
3. Add comprehensive CI debug output in noxfile.py: file existence
checks for .resource files, PATH/Python resolution, fixture dir
checks, and RF version. This will diagnose any remaining resource
import issues.
Also: remove hardcoded '/app/src' sys.path.insert in
system_prompt_template_rendering.robot (not portable to CI), and
add trailing newline to common.resource.
All 204 tests pass locally (4 excluded: 2 slow, 2 discovery).
