Why

Rust CI's Cargo test job runs the lib tests in parallel. On main at c0dc793 it failed:

boj_live::tests::boj_endpoint_default_and_override
  left: "http://localhost:7700"
 right: "http://boj.local:9999/v2"

boj_live read the custom BOJ_URL that boj/commands.rs's test had just set. Eight lib tests in six modules set or remove a process-wide variable:

Module Tests Variable
boj/commands.rs boj_url_default_and_override BOJ_URL
boj_live.rs boj_endpoint_default_and_override BOJ_URL
governance/commands.rs boj_url_default, boj_url_override BOJ_URL
overlay/commands.rs overlay_url_default_and_override OVERLAY_URL
hypatia/commands.rs smoke_hypatia_url_default, smoke_hypatia_url_override HYPATIA_URL
typell/commands.rs typell_url_default_and_override TYPELL_URL

Build Validation never hit this because it runs -- --test-threads=1.

What

  • lib.rs: adds a test-only crate::test_env::lock(), a static Mutex<()>. If a test panics while holding it, the next test takes the poisoned lock anyway.
  • Each of the eight tests takes the lock for its whole body (let _env = crate::test_env::lock();).

No non-test code changes.

Evidence

The eight tests, run 300 times in parallel (<lib test binary> url boj_endpoint):

Tree Failed runs
origin/main (0edae54) 44 / 300
this branch 0 / 300

On this branch:

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check: clean.
  • cargo clippy --locked --all-targets -- -D warnings: clean.
  • cargo test --locked --lib: 293 passed in each of 5 parallel runs and 1 serial run.

Notes

  • README and EXPLAINME-new still give cargo test --locked --lib -- --test-threads=1, and build-validation still runs it, so this PR doesn't touch them. Dropping the flag is a separate call.
  • The docs' "285 Rust tests" became 293 when feat(ipc): register the panel-backend IPC commands (pilot: coprocessor) #157 added the IPC tests. The IPC follow-up's docs step will correct the count along with the command count.

Generated by Claude Code

Eight lib tests in six modules set or remove BOJ_URL, OVERLAY_URL,
HYPATIA_URL or TYPELL_URL. The environment is process-wide and
`cargo test` runs tests on parallel threads, so one test could read the
value another had just set. Rust CI's parallel Cargo test failed on main
at c0dc793 this way (boj_live::tests::boj_endpoint_default_and_override
saw boj/commands.rs's custom URL).

A test-only `crate::test_env::lock()` now guards all eight; a poisoned
lock is taken anyway. Running just those tests 300 times in parallel:
44 failures on main, 0 with the lock.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Improved the reliability of service URL configuration tests by preventing them from interfering with one another when run in parallel.

Tests that modify service URL environment variables now acquire a shared test-only mutex. The mutex helper recovers its guard if the mutex is poisoned.

Changes: Service URL test synchronisation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared test-environment lock
src-gossamer/src/lib.rs
Added a test-only mutex helper that recovers the guard if the mutex is poisoned.
Service URL test updates

Tests that modify BOJ_URL, HYPATIA_URL, OVERLAY_URL or TYPELL_URL now acquire the shared lock. Existing assertions remain unchanged.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c20fb

Parallel Rust test runs may intermittently fail when offline tests observe a temporary service-URL override. Production behavior is unchanged; the remaining concern is test reliability.

`governance_nesy_query_returns_mock_when_offline` and the Hypatia fallback tests
that read the URL environment variables, or pass isolated URLs to those calls,
so they cannot observe another test’s temporary override.
