the leg disables animations and the number was measured with them on. the
first real dispatch carries 4 transitional steps over 200, so the cross-fade
wait does still fire in ci, just far less often.
The check that decides whether the select-all worked looked for an
"editable" attribute maestro's tree does not carry, so it answered
"cannot tell" every time and every erase paid the per-character
fallback. Worse, an open keyboard puts a second focused node in the
tree, one of the IME's own keys, carrying no text: taking the first
focused node would read a field still holding 4096 characters as empty,
which is the one answer that stops the erase early.
Match the text field by class instead. Measured against the real
backend, 4096 characters now clear in 385ms on API 34, 409ms on API 35
and 870ms on API 36, verified empty, where the fallback took ~4s.
maestro's eraseText sends one delete per character through its
instrumentation, measured 29.6 ms/char on the API 34 emulator. The
4096-character string the corpus types cost ~121s to clear, a fifth of a
20 minute run spent on one step, and it recurred every time that field
was typed into again.
Select the content and delete the selection instead: two key events at
any length, measured 0.15s to 1.16s for 4096 characters across API 34,
35 and 36. The result is read back off the tree, and a field that is not
empty, or that the tree cannot report on, is finished off per character
in batches rather than assumed clear.
Fixes#80
New performs the clear-state reset, so the uninstall and reinstall no
longer land underneath a live XCTest session that is already bound to
the app. Launch refuses a clear-state request the driver was not built
for rather than reinstalling under its own session.
An unreadable dumpsys passed a null owner to typeChunks, which switches
the mid-type focus guard off outright and lets the rest of the string
spray into whatever holds the foreground. Fall back to the launched
bundle instead: the guard stays armed, typing still happens, and the
degradation is said out loud rather than assumed away.
The window is an upper bound on the transactions an interval could hold, and
a bound inflated by taps that commit nothing is a bound the app can never
exceed: #78 read a rise of 15 transactions against 37 submits. TxnSubmit is
clickable(enabled = amount.isNotBlank()) and parseCents refuses anything its
regex misses, so a tap whose landing frame shows a refused amount cannot have
committed. Over four recorded android runs that is 19, 11, 25 and 25 of 35,
26, 42 and 42 submit taps.
A relaunch is excepted: a fresh process draws an empty field whatever was
submitted.
Defaulting the count to zero made a dumpsys that said nothing mean
nothing is animating, so a degraded link broke out of the settle early
and handed the runner a frame caught mid-animation. Unknown now waits,
inside the deadline waitForIdle already holds.
adbOutput and readLogcat read to EOF and then waited with no timeout, so
a wedged adb held the step for as long as it liked; one stall over a
remote adb server measured ~100s. The bound has to sit on the read, not
on waitFor: a wedged adb never reaches EOF, so a bounded waitFor after
the read is a line that never runs.
The proof behind the comment: "Travel1" holding 25 transactions and
"Travel12" holding 5 merge to the same string, so no identity key read off
a web card can tell them apart.
Folio rejects a duplicate account name, so the twin the drop rule guards
against is two names the web key cannot tell apart, not two accounts
sharing a name. State what closing the rest would cost and what the tree
would have to carry to close it properly.
The runner now keeps lastAction and marks it relaunched: true where it used
to report nothing at all, so the two properties that demand an effect judge
a step whose process may have died before the write landed.
submitChangesBalanceByTypedAmount and createdAccountHasNonZeroBalance both
decline there. The counting bound does not: a relaunch cannot manufacture a
transaction, and the submit is counted, so declining would throw away the
detection the runner fix restored.
A tap on a text field raises the keyboard and nothing closed it, so the
tree the picker chooses from was missing every app node underneath it,
the submit control included. Close it before the read rather than after
the tap: the picker only ever sees snapshots, and the keyboard is still
on its way up when the tap returns.
Fixes#78
buildDadb hardcoded localhost:5037, so a serial-addressed device always
resolved through this machine's adb server and ADB_SERVER_SOCKET was
ignored. Read the endpoint the way the adb CLI does instead.
Fixes#79
submitCommitsOneTransactionPerAction now states its rule over two windows:
the Home counts it already compared, and the account balance the ledger and
the add-transaction screen redraw on nearly every frame of the transaction
flow. Same rule, and the second window is usually one action wide.
The counting invariant can only close its window on Home, and the iOS run
in #78 went 117 steps between two Home readings: 37 submits against a rise
of 15 transactions is no evidence about the double tap sitting inside it.
The ledger and the add-transaction screen both show the account's own
balance, and an accepted submit pops back to the ledger, so a window
bounded by those readings holds one action.
The bound is an upper one: a balance that has not moved is a commit still
in flight, a rejected submit or a tap that never landed, and none of those
is a violation. Moving by more than the one submit in the window typed is.
createdAccountHasNonZeroBalance matched the created card with endsWith, so
an older account whose name ends with the typed one ("Emergency Fund" for a
typed "Fund") was judged instead whenever the new card was clipped out of
the reading. Build both keys the card can carry, the plain name and web's
initials + name, and compare them whole.
XCTest records a refused launch as a test issue that never throws, so the
companion returned ok for an app that never started. Check the state the
app actually reached and report the refusal instead.
folio's signed-in session lives in the data container, which an install
over the top keeps, so a local run started right after just ios opened on
the previous run's Home screen and diverged at step 1. On CI's fresh
simulator the uninstall is a no-op, so the ios leg is unchanged.
checkout v4->v7, setup-go v5->v7, setup-node v4->v7, setup-java v4->v5,
upload-artifact v4->v7, cache v4->v6, upload-pages-artifact v3->v5,
deploy-pages v4->v5, setup-chrome v1->v2, setup-android v3->v4,
goreleaser-action v6->v7. setup-bun and android-emulator-runner are
already node24; buf-setup-action stays on its deliberate SHA pin.
setup-chrome v2 resolves stable from Chrome for Testing rather than the
official installer, so the ci.yml comment about the action's default no
longer held.
The gate proves only that AddTransactionScreen is absent from the trace.
Claiming the run never got past login was an inference it cannot make: the
run that produced it had logged in and was stuck on the new account screen.
Name the routes the trace does record instead.
ktlint -F over every kotlin file except DriverBackend.kt, then hand
fixes where the reflow read worse and for the long lines ktlint cannot
break. No behaviour changes.
DriverBackend.kt is left untouched to avoid a conflict with concurrent
work; its three over-long lines still fail fmt-kotlin.
seed 28 reproduced its walk on macos-15 and reached the bug at the step it
convicts at locally. it still could not be judged: the run did not return
home between step 19 and step 136, so the counting invariant saw a rise of
15 against a window of 37 submits.
the recovery a blown bound triggers now costs at most launchRecoveryTimeout
whatever it spends it on, so the launch path tops out at 150s and testrun's
three minute backstop stays a backstop.
a launch the simulator refuses is never reported: xctest records it as a test
failure the runner cannot see, then holds the session's main thread for about
four minutes on a diagnostic chain. so the only signal is the expired bound,
and every later call queues behind the same wedge. restart the session once and
launch again, bounded so the launch path stays inside testrun's backstop.
package.json has declared Apache-2.0 since the first release and .goreleaser.yaml
globs LICENSE* into the archives, so that glob has been matching nothing. npm
only picks up a license from the package directory, hence the copy under
pkg/spec.
* ci(folio): run gradle on jdk 21 for the metro plugin
the metro gradle plugin folio builds with publishes org.gradle.jvm.version 21
and java 21 class files, so every leg failed at the folio build on a 17
runtime. local builds pass on jdk 25, which is why only ci saw it.
* fix(build): clean pkg/spec/dist, not the dead spec-api path
* chore: point stale spec-api comments at pkg/spec
* fix(spec): publish src so an installed package carries the runtime entries
* fix(testrun): alias the installed spec package so one module graph loads
* fix(spec): export Direction, ScrollAction and LongPressAction from the entry
* docs(spec): cut the package readme to a description and doc links
* docs: say how the cli and spec package versions relate
* fix(verifier): report whether the last action was confirmed applied
Both hosts get applied: true when the runner saw the dispatch succeed and
applied: null when it could not, so an unconfirmed action stops arriving at
the spec as no action at all.
* fix(runner): an apply error leaves the action's fate unknown, not undone
A deadline that fires after the tap was dispatched leaves the effect
committed. Reporting nil made the spec see an effect with no action to cause
it, which is how the counting property convicts a healthy app.
* fix(release): stage the sidecar jar at the renamed embed path
* test(replay-ui): trace fixtures for the vacuity counts
one real green run, one run that rendered nothing, one that judges every property at least once.
* ci(replay-ui): count the steps each property judged
the exit code says no property returned false; it does not say any property was ever evaluated. this reads the trace and reports judged vs declined per property, and fails when the step page never rendered.
* test(replay-ui): cover the summary script from make test
* ci(replay-ui): summarise through the vacuity script
* docs(ci): explain the replay-ui judged/declined counts
* fix(verifier): encode element-valued extractors into the trace
An ax element exports with its find/findAll host functions attached, and
json.Marshal refuses the whole value over them: json: unsupported type:
func(goja.FunctionCall) goja.Value. The encoding failed, curr stayed nil,
and the goja hosts (ios, android) recorded null for every element-valued
extractor in both the per-step diff and the violation witness.
Apply the web host's sanitize rule before marshaling, so one rule encodes
an element on both hosts.
* test(verifier): pin element encoding to one rule on both hosts
* test(runner): assert an element reaches trace.jsonl and its witness
* feat(spec): give state.lastAction an applied field
Three states, not two: no action is a null lastAction, applied: true is an
action the runner confirmed, applied: null is one it dispatched and never
learned the fate of.
* fix(folio): do not attribute an effect to an unconfirmed action
submitChangesBalanceByTypedAmount and createdAccountHasNonZeroBalance both
convict by pinning an effect on the last action, so both decline unless the
runner saw it applied. The fixtures now say which fate they mean.
* test(folio): an unconfirmed submit belongs in the window
The count is an upper bound on the submits a window holds, so the tap that may
have landed counts and committedTransactionsExceedSubmits has nothing to
convict on.
* test(runner): a tap that lands under a failed apply is not a double submit
Drives the real folio counting predicates through the runner against a device
that commits the tap and then times out. The double-submit case is the control:
without it a green proves only that the property never fired.
* test(verifier): pin the three lastAction states on both hosts
The web page is handed the same applied field the goja object exposes, so a
property cannot read one thing on native and another on web.
* docs(spec-language): document the three lastAction states
* feat(runner): stop the step loop at the first violation on request
* feat(testrun): report violations as a typed error under exit-on-violation
* feat(cli): add --exit-on-violation and exit 2 when it fires
* docs(cli): document --exit-on-violation, --max-steps, and exit codes
* fix(web): enumerate and query across shadow roots in both producers
* test(chrome): compare both producers on a shadow-dom parity page
* test(browser): drive a canvas-under-shadow-root fixture end to end
* fix(web): select the focused field inside a shadow root before typing
* fix(web): report the pathname as the screen when there is no hash route
* fix(web): settle on dom quiescence instead of returning at body ready
* feat(replay-ui): add data-testid hooks the dogfood spec drives
* feat(replay-ui): add the dogfood spec sanderling runs against the replay ui
* fix(replay-ui): scope the screenshot property to the named state panel
* chore(make): add per-platform sanderling build targets
* ci: add dispatch workflows for folio and the replay ui
* docs: describe the dispatch workflows and how to read a failure
* ci(folio): give the ios leg its jdk, android sdk, just, and a clean app start
* refactor(web): use max for the settle budget
* ci: pin calibrated seeds, skip the flaky ios reinstall, bound every job
* ci: authenticate and pin the buf setup step
the anonymous release download hit the shared runner ip rate limit and
failed the job with 'socket hang up' after three retries.
* docs: record that canvas apps need a dom proxy to be text-fuzzable
* fix(ios): bound lifecycle rpcs and claim the target device
a launch the simulator rejects sent the xctest session into a recovery
chain that answered minutes late or never, and the rpc had no deadline,
so the run hung with no trace and no error. also take a per-udid flock:
a second run's reinstall lands under the first's live automation session
and wedges it.
* docs(ci): correct the ios hang wording and note the device lock
* refactor(verifier): derive the lastAction shape from one field list
both hosts must show a spec the same lastAction. one ordered list now
feeds the goja object and the json the web host installs, so they
cannot drift.
* fix(web): install lastAction in the page before extractors read it
state.lastAction was hardcoded null on web, so every property reading it
was silently vacuous: a correct property passed without ever firing.
* fix(web): carry element identity on actions and fix findAll on paths
an action's target was coordinates only, so a property matching on which
element was acted upon could never fire. ax.findAll([a,b]) also returned
nothing on web.
* fix(chrome): wait out a route transition before sampling facts
the tree stays byte-identical and quiet across a cross-fade, so both the
quiet timer and the unchanged-tree escape called it settled mid-flight
and extractors read two screens at once.
* fix: bound the pre-run app launch
launch happens before the runner starts, so --duration never covered it
and a wedged driver hung with no trace and no error.
* fix(folio): read balances from merged cards and treat unreadable as unknown
compose for web merges the whole accountcard subtree, so the balance
child never exists there and every card parsed as 0. the property then
compared 0 to 0 and fired on any submit, which is a false positive
generator. unknown is now null and null is vacuously true.
* test(folio): cover merged-card parsing and unknown balances
* ci(folio): make web an expect-the-bug leg
the web runtime can observe the double submit now, so the health gate
understates it. seed 1 finds it at step 109, 3 runs out of 3.
* docs(ci): explain why a submit tap landing on home is the bug
* fix(ios): read a StaticText's label as its text
AXValue was the only source for text, but a StaticText carries its
string in AXLabel, so nothing on screen had .text on ios: a spec reading
it saw everything on android and nothing here.
* docs(ci): correct the calibrated step ranges
* fix(folio): stop convicting on arithmetic float64 cannot hold
past 2^53 cents the gap between representable values is 128, so a real
1600-cent move reads back as something else and the equality is false
for a healthy submit as readily as a double one. also match parseCents:
a sign or an oversized amount is rejected, not read as an amount.
* test(folio): pin the safe-integer guard and its boundary
* docs: stop teaching the zero-default that caused a false alarm
* docs: write down the silent-vacuity failure modes
* feat(folio): tag the home total and the card transaction count
the total was the only untagged node on the screen, so the spec had to
sum cards and a clipped card broke the sum.
* fix(folio): read the app's own total and refuse contaminated windows
summing cards went null when one was clipped, and the null poisoned the
carrier for the rest of the run. the balance window also spanned every
transaction since the last home visit, so the property convicted on
deltas it could not attribute: the old web witness was 3.16x the typed
amount, not 2x.
* test(folio): pin the window rules and the count invariant
* fix(folio): never read a frame that shows two screens
android dumps a cross-fade with both screens in the tree. the route said
add-transaction while an unscoped find said home, so the oracle took a
half-rendered total as fresh and convicted on a tap that committed
nothing. one function now decides the route and returns null when the
frame is ambiguous.
* test(folio): cover transition frames, card readings and creation
* fix(folio): only disambiguate counts that came from merged text
the equal-length digit rule exists because web merges the card and an
account named -1 makes '12' ambiguous. a dedicated count node has
nothing to disambiguate, so applying it there threw away real evidence.
* ci(folio): pin the recalibrated seeds and drop android to a health gate
web 3 and ios 7 convict 3 runs out of 3 with an exactly 2x witness.
android convicts 2 in 5 because the same seed does not walk the same
trajectory there, so it proves the app runs instead.
* docs(ci): describe the two properties and why android cannot convict
* fix(android): wait out a route cross-fade before snapshotting
the dump could hold two screens at once, and the runner refuses to act
on such a tree, so a quarter of android steps applied no action and the
count varied per run: the same seed never walked the same trajectory.
the ios companion and the chrome driver already do this.
* ci(folio): let the android leg run far enough to see its conviction
* docs: only the repo owner merges
* ci(folio): a thrown predicate is not a conviction
exit 2 means the run recorded a violation, and a predicate that throws
is recorded as one too. so was newAccountBalanceIsZero, an unrelated
property in the same spec. the gate read the exit code and went green
with detection dead.
* ci: install idb-companion from its tap and stop interpolating inputs
idb-companion is not in homebrew-core, so the ios leg died before it
built anything. replay-ui expanded dispatch inputs into the shell.
* docs: correct the snippets and numbers that drifted from the code
* test(sidecar): pin that a slow read counts toward the stability streak
* fix(web): read the page's extractors only on steps that count
the page advances the spec's carriers when it evaluates, but the runner
applied the result only on non-transitional steps. a discarded step
moved the window forward anyway, so the next accepted pair bracketed two
transactions while counting one submit, and convicted a healthy app.
extractor errors now fail the run instead of leaving goja's values in
current against v8's in previous.
* fix(chrome): anchor the transition deadline when the dom goes quiet
it was anchored at script start, so a page that churned past the window
reached the check already expired and returned mid cross-fade. the
driver now publishes the idle timeout it needs, since the caller's 1s
could never spend the 800ms window.
* fix(web): fail on a partial extractor override
same mixed-producer hazard as the install error: some extractors hold
the page's value and the rest hold goja's, and a property comparing
across that split fires on a healthy app.
* docs: six of seven, the seventh is the stock property
* fix(folio): drop a name two cards answer to
homeTxnCountsOf keyed on the account name and let the last card win, so
two accounts the fuzzer named the same collapsed into one entry. a
reading that saw one Travel card and a later one that saw both then
subtracted two different accounts' counts, and
submitCommitsOneTransactionPerAction convicted a healthy app of
double-submitting. it is a gated property in folio-run.sh, so that reads
as "found the submit bug" over a card scrolling into view.
same rule createdAccountHasNonZeroBalance already applies: a name
nothing can attribute is no evidence. counted over every card, since an
unreadable twin spoils the identity too.
* perf(folio): read each frame once
every extractor asked routeOf, and routeOf does five ax.find calls. on
web each find walks the document and every shadow root beneath it, so
the spec cost 110 tree walks a step; homeCards was parsed four times
over. now 5 and once.
keyed on the identity of the state object because both hosts build a new
one per step and hand that one object to every getter, so it cannot
outlive its frame. holding the reference is what keeps that true rather
than likely.
* fix(web): keep an undefined reading's index through JSON
json has no undefined, so an extractor whose getter returned one had its
whole index dropped by JSON.stringify. that index then kept goja's
dump-derived value while its neighbours held the page's, and a property
comparing previous to current across the split fires on a healthy app.
folio has nine on(route, tag) extractors, so this was most extractors on
most steps.
each reading is wrapped in a {value} envelope: the drop now happens
inside the entry, and an absent value means the getter returned
undefined, which is what the goja host records for the same getter. a
json null would instead claim it returned null and x.current ===
undefined would answer differently on the two hosts.
* feat(verifier): report the registered extractor count
the web path needs it to check the page sent one reading per extractor.
* fix(runner): fail when the page reports fewer readings than extractors
the comment here already claimed a partial override was fatal. it was
not: the skipped check only catches indices outside the extractor list,
so a page reporting values for some extractors and not others left the
rest holding goja's reading of the dump with nothing said.
* test(browser): drive an undefined reading through the whole web path
four layers carry it: the page's envelope, the driver's unwrap, the
runner's count check and the verifier's decode. each has a unit test and
only a run proves they compose. goes red both ways, decoding an absent
value as null and dropping the envelope.
* fix(web): offer the aria roles a user activates
only role=button was in the tappable set, so link, checkbox, radio,
switch, tab, option, the menuitems and treeitem were invisible to the
enumeration however plain the control looked. the replay ui builds its
step rows as <li role="option">, and the spec dogfooding it had to
hand-write an action to reach them because no default verb could see a
single row.
both producers build the set from the same role list, since the parity
test compares them element by element.
* test(browser): tap a role-based control end to end
every control on the page is an <li role="option">, the shape the
replay ui gives its step rows, and the spec carries no action of its
own: the property firing is the evidence the default enumeration offered
a tap on one.
* fix(web): read aria-disabled as disabled
the enabled fact came off the disabled property, which only real form
controls have. it reads undefined on the role-based controls the
tappable set now covers, so every one of them looked enabled however
plainly it was marked otherwise, and the fuzzer would spend actions on
inert ones.
both producers answer the same two ways, and the parity fixture carries
a disabled row so the comparison covers it: reverting one side alone
names the element and the fact.
* docs(replay-ui): the enumeration reaches step rows now
the comment said role="option" is not in the tappable selector set,
which stopped being true a few commits ago. selectAStep stays, for the
reason the tab weight below it stays: one row among the page's clickable
elements is a thin chance, and both step-facing properties go vacuous on
a run that never selects one.
* test(runner): bound the last-action test by steps, not wall clock
100ms of wall clock against an assertion that two steps ran fatals under
load with "the web path never installed it", which reads as a
regression. every sibling test in the package uses a long duration and
MaxSteps.
* ci: run the kotlin tests in make test
RouteTransitionTest and the stability poll cover the android settle and
nothing in ci ran them. :sidecar:test needs no android sdk, checked by
running it with ANDROID_HOME pointed at nothing.
* fix(sidecar): measure the stability streak as observed quiet
parameterising pollUntilStable also moved the clock to the start of the
read that opened a run of identical snapshots, so a read's own duration
counted as quiet. the pre-existing caller polls a real uiautomator dump:
at 400ms a read, 750ms of required quiet became 250ms of observed quiet
and the poll settled in two reads instead of four.
the parameters stay, the semantics go back.
* test(sidecar): pin the transition cap by driving it
it asserted 1500 >= 700 + 300, two constants, which can only fail if
someone edits a constant. it now drives awaitSettledTree against a fade
that lands after 700ms and asserts it hands back the settled tree before
the cap. cut the cap to 1000 and it goes red.
* ci: pin buf-setup-action to a commit
it takes a token now, so a floating tag is a token handed to whatever
that tag moves to. note v1 there is a branch, not a tag, so the ref
lookup that resolves it is matching-refs/heads/v1.
* ci: declare least-privilege permissions
none of the three declared any, so each got the repository default.
release.yml and docs.yml already do this. all three only check out,
build, test and upload artifacts.
* ci: fail fast when a server never comes up
the readiness loops fell through silently after 30 tries, so a server
that never started surfaced as an opaque driver failure minutes later.
each now says what did not answer and on which port.
* ci(folio): a missing trace is not a verdict
with no trace the android gate ran its grep against ./trace.jsonl and
reported "never reached AddTransactionScreen, so it never got past
login", which is not what happened. the web and ios branches had the
same misdiagnosis on exit 0.
same class, one line up: the classifier's own failure was swallowed, so
with the evidence reader dead the gate printed a healthy run and exited
0.
* ci(replay-ui): skip a run directory with no trace
the summarise step is if: always(), and under github's bash -eo pipefail
an unmatched glob stays literal, the redirect fails, pipefail carries it
into the assignment and -e kills the step. so a failed fuzz run went red
twice, once for the real reason.
* fix(replay-ui): drop @font-face rules for fonts that were never shipped
* fix(replay-ui): drop unresolvable JetBrains Mono from --font-mono stack
* chore(replay-ui): remove vestigial empty public/fonts dir
