Every main push since the v6 branch flip was cancelled at the 45-minute
job timeout with no verdict. The flip brought the full 94-spec suite onto
main (the last green run, 2026-06-29, ran only 2 specs on the v5 main),
and it runs sequentially against a release-tagged image whose mock-fixture
gate returns 403 without a demo entitlement. Dozens of specs fail, retry
twice each, and burn the budget: of the 31 minutes of suite time in run
28907574469, 18.8 minutes were failing attempts.
- Add GO_BUILD_TAGS build arg (default release) and build the pulse:test
e2e image with it empty, matching the dev harness the suite is green
under. Shipped images keep the release tag; release-gate behavior keeps
its dedicated -tags release Go tests.
- Shard Playwright 4 ways across a CI matrix (214/202/205/203 tests per
shard) with per-shard report artifacts and an aggregate verdict job.
- Cap CI at 20 failures so an env-broken run reports red in minutes
instead of grinding into a no-verdict cancellation.
- Separate pretest (start containers) from test (run playwright) steps
- Add container log collection step that runs on failure
- Add verbose logging to pretest.mjs for better failure diagnosis
- Use PULSE_E2E_SKIP_DOCKER and PULSE_E2E_SKIP_PLAYWRIGHT_INSTALL flags
Backend:
- Add smart provider fallback when selected model's provider isn't configured
- Automatically switch to a model from a configured provider instead of failing
- Log warning when fallback occurs for visibility
Frontend (AISettings.tsx):
- Add helper functions to check if model's provider is configured
- Group model dropdown: configured providers first, unconfigured marked with ⚠️
- Add inline warning when selecting model from unconfigured provider
- Validate on save that model's provider is configured (or being added)
- Warn before clearing last configured provider (would disable AI)
- Warn before clearing provider that current model uses
- Add patrol interval validation (must be 0 or >= 10 minutes)
- Show red border + inline error for invalid patrol intervals 1-9
- Update patrol interval hint: '(0=off, 10+ to enable)'
These changes prevent confusing '500 Internal Server Error' and
'AI is not enabled or configured' errors when model/provider mismatch.
