What changed

The required mutation-diff check now blocks only when changed executable code exceeds the existing 500-line package limit, or when that scope cannot be calculated safely.

Mutation survivors, uncovered mutants, timeout ratios, mutant-count caps, exclusion-policy findings, Stryker execution failures, summary-write failures, and report-upload failures remain visible as escaped workflow warnings, job-summary advisories when available, and downloadable reports without failing required CI.

Why this change was made

Mutation testing should guide test improvements without preventing otherwise healthy pull requests from advancing. Executable-line growth remains the deterministic scope-control gate.

Impact

Authors still receive the full changed-code mutation report and focused warnings, including when the optional job summary is unavailable. Mutation quality findings no longer withhold a passing required check. Pull requests that exceed the executable-line threshold remain blocked and must reduce scope or receive a narrow maintainer-reviewed exclusion.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Mutation testing findings are now reported as non-blocking advisories instead of failing the workflow.
    • Findings appear as warning annotations and in the job summary.
    • Summary-writing and report-upload issues no longer interrupt the workflow.
    • Executable-line scope enforcement remains applied during pull-request checks.
  • Tests
    • Updated mutation-testing checks to validate advisory reporting, warning annotations, summary handling, and executable-line scope enforcement.

Walkthrough

The mutation-testing gate now records validation and mutation findings as advisories. It emits warning annotations, writes advisory summaries when possible, and allows report upload or summary-write failures without failing the workflow. Tests cover the updated behavior.

Changes

Mutation advisory flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Advisory collection and evaluation
scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs
Manifest validation and mutation report evaluation collect advisories instead of throwing. Annotation output uses ::warning with the Mutation test advisory title.
Summary and manifest orchestration
scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs
Summary output uses an Advisory findings section. runManifest records advisory results and incomplete runs without throwing. Tests cover advisory content, missing binaries, and summary-write failures.
Workflow resilience and integration validation
.github/workflows/mutation-testing.yml, scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs
The workflow renames the mutation step, tolerates report-upload failures, and warns when job-summary writes fail. Tests verify the updated integration.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The PR changes advisory propagation through the CLI and runManifest, but the focused tests do not verify those behaviors. main() now passes manifest.advisories to appendSummary when no packages exist (scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:776-779). The added test only reads the source file and checks for that literal call (scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs:61-62), so it mirrors the implementation and does not verify warning or summary output. In addition, the preflight-error test invokes runManifest only inside assert.doesNotThrow and discards its rows (scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs:580-606). It does not verify that the error becomes an Advisory incomplete row or reaches the warning and job-summary paths. The lower-level tests cover individual formatting and evaluation helpers, but not this changed orchestration. No durable UI change requires a Playwright snapshot.

Resolution

Add focused behavioral coverage for the changed orchestration. Execute the no-package CLI path, or extract and test its helper, with a manifest advisory and assert that the process remains successful and that the warning and job-summary content contain the advisory. Update the preflight-error test to capture runManifest's returned rows and capture console.warn or a temporary GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY; assert the row is Advisory incomplete and the advisory is emitted and written. Add an equivalent runManifest fixture for a report containing surviving or uncovered mutants if the successful Advisory findings aggregation path remains untested.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

The changed path bypasses the mutation-exclusion control. buildManifest now catches validateDisableDirectives errors at scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:215-219, records them as advisories, and continues. runManifest then appends advisories and returns without throwing at scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:734-755. A pull request can add // Stryker disable next-line all: reason to changed production code. Stryker can suppress all mutants for that line, while the required workflow check still succeeds. The base revision rejected this directive and failed the check.

Resolution

Keep mutation findings advisory, but keep invalid or broad exclusion directives blocking. Re-throw the validateDisableDirectives error, or carry a separate blocking-control error that causes the CI command to exit non-zero. Add an integration test that uses a changed executable line with Stryker disable next-line all and verifies that the CI path fails.

Fixed the valid advisory-visibility finding in f04b0c231: aggregated advisories now emit escaped workflow warnings even when the optional job summary is unavailable or unwritable. The inline CodeRabbit thread is resolved.

Rejected pre-merge findings:

  • Security Boundaries: making invalid mutation exclusions fail required CI would violate this PR’s explicit policy. Exclusions do not prevent executable-line calculation; they now remain visible warnings and cannot bypass the 500-line scope cap. A reviewer override is appropriate if CodeRabbit repeats this policy disagreement.
  • Description check: the repository has no checked-in PR template, and CodeRabbit simultaneously reports Linked Issues and Out of Scope checks as skipped because no issue is linked. The PR body already contains the required change, motivation, impact, and Discord follow-up provenance, so no fabricated issue or nonexistent template sections were added.

Validation passed: focused mutation tests 36/36, formatting, lint, types, full tests, and git diff --check. CI and CodeRabbit are processing the pushed head.

I'm ok for CI to not error during mutation testing - it's intended to be advisory, except for the 500 lines of executed code.

PR #1610 was already merged and its branch deleted, so the follow-up is delivered in draft PR #1619 at 5e40faeed.

Mutation output now emits one distinguishable annotation per source file/line, groups same-line mutants with a count and representative example, and removes the redundant survivor/no-coverage package warning. Every mutant remains listed in the GitHub job summary and report artifact. The policy is unchanged: mutation findings are advisory; executable-line scope enforcement remains blocking.

Validation passed: focused mutation tests 37/37, full tests 8,349 passed with 39 skipped, formatting, lint, types, and git diff --check.
