Summary

  • Adds a ## Mutation-testing workflow contract tests section to
    docs/developers-guide.md, covering the caller workflow
    (.github/workflows/mutation-testing.yml), its shared
    mutation-cargo.yml reusable workflow, and the contract test that checks
    the caller's shape.
  • Documents the Rust-workspace permutation: scheduled detection is scoped to
    crates/, while manual whole-workspace runs may process the vendored GPUI
    crates because Cargo includes them as workspace members and no vendor/**
    exclusion is configured. Examples, fixture crates, and test-support modules
    remain excluded through exclude-globs; the caller passes
    --all-features --test-workspace=true to match make test.
  • States that this repository has only the Cargo mutation-testing caller—no
    mutmut workflow—and no applicable roadmap or execplan entry. Mutation
    testing remains informational and non-blocking.
  • The workflow contract verifies the shared workflow path and a full
    40-character lowercase-hex SHA shape, without tying Dependabot updates to a
    particular SHA. Run it locally with make test-workflow-contracts.
  • Raises the serialized trybuild test override to 10 minutes, allowing a
    healthy cold-cache fixture rebuild without weakening the strict default
    timeout.

Validation

  • make check-fmt
  • make test-workflow-contracts (11 passed)
  • make test (1,685 passed; 7 skipped)
  • make typecheck
  • make lint
  • make markdownlint

Review Change Stack

Note

Reviews paused

It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

Use the following commands to manage reviews:

  • @coderabbitai resume to resume automatic reviews.
  • @coderabbitai review to trigger a single review.

Use the checkboxes below for quick actions:

  • ▶️ Resume reviews
  • 🔍 Trigger review

Summary

  • Document the mutation-testing workflow contract in docs/developers-guide.md.
  • Describe workflow triggers, inputs, exclusions, permissions, concurrency, and pinned reusable-workflow SHA.
  • Record Rust workspace configuration and contract-test coverage.
  • Provide the local test command.
  • Confirm that the repository has only a Cargo mutation caller and no mutmut workflow.
  • Increase the serialized trybuild timeout to 10 minutes for cold-cache fixture rebuilds.
  • Document vendored workspace members and manual whole-workspace mutation runs.
  • Verify that Markdown linting passes without errors.

Walkthrough

Update nextest compile-test timeout guidance and document the scheduled and manual mutation-testing workflow contract, including configuration, security settings, concurrency, triggers, vendored workspace behaviour, and contract-test coverage.

Changes

Developer tooling and workflow documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update compile-test timeout guidance
.config/nextest.toml, docs/developers-guide.md
Raise the compile-test slow-timeout from 300 seconds to 10 minutes. Retain serial execution and existing termination settings.
Document the workflow contract
.github/workflows/mutation-testing.yml, docs/developers-guide.md
Document scheduled and manual execution, reusable-workflow delegation, inputs, exclusions, SHA pinning, permissions, concurrency, triggers, vendored workspace behaviour, and contract-test assertions. Reposition the workflow-pin guidance.

Poem

Set the timeout, let builds run,
Pin the workflow, one by one.
Scheduled checks follow their track,
Manual runs can cover the stack.
Contract tests record the way.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 21bb7

The workflow documentation currently gives an incorrect description of which crates mutation testing selects, which could mislead maintainers about CI coverage. Update the scope comment before merging.

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Developer Documentation ⚠️ Warning The PR changes the trybuild override to 10 minutes, but the Windows nextest section still documents 300 s, so the developer's guide is contradictory.

Performance And Resource Use ✅ Passed The diff contains no production code or workflow execution change. It raises one bounded test timeout to 10 minutes while retaining max-threads = 1; fixture scope is finite and serial.

P2 Badge Correct the GPUI workspace boundary

At this commit, cargo metadata --no-deps lists both vendor/gpui and vendor/gpui-macros in workspace_members; Cargo enrols these in-tree path dependencies because the root manifest does not explicitly exclude them. Stating that they sit outside the workspace therefore gives maintainers an incorrect mutation-scope model and obscures why a manual whole-workspace run may process vendored code despite the absence of a vendor/** exclusion. Either exclude these crates in the manifest/workflow or document their actual membership.

## Mutation-testing workflow contract tests

This repository runs scheduled, informational mutation testing through a thin
caller workflow, [`.github/workflows/mutation-testing.yml`](../.github/workflows/mutation-testing.yml),
which delegates to the shared reusable workflow
`leynos/shared-actions/.github/workflows/mutation-cargo.yml`. The heavy lifting
— running `cargo-mutants`, sharding, and summarizing survivors — lives in
`shared-actions`; this repository carries only declarative configuration. The
run is **informational only**: it never gates a pull request. Survivors are
reported through the job summary and downloadable artefacts so they can be
triaged into tests, not enforced as a blocking check.

Add a developer-guide section covering the mutation-testing caller
workflow's contract test suite: the shared workflow it delegates to,
the with-block configuration it pins, the hard-pinned SHA style the
test enforces, and how to run the checks locally.
Document the Cargo-only caller scope and absence of a `mutmut` workflow.
Describe vendored GPUI workspace membership and the distinction between
scheduled path detection and manual whole-workspace runs. Align SHA prose with
the path-and-full-hex-shape contract and Dependabot ownership.
Explain that the 10-minute override permits a full cold-cache fixture
rebuild while the strict default and cargo-spawning serialization remain
in force.
Allow the serialized trybuild fixture suite to complete its healthy
cold-cache compiler work without weakening the strict default timeout.

cargo-mutants documentation workspace members path dependencies cargo mutants mutates dependencies

💡 Result:

Cargo-mutants supports Cargo workspaces by design, allowing it to generate and test mutants across multiple packages within a workspace [1][2]. Workspace Handling and Mutation When running on a workspace, cargo-mutants copies the entire workspace tree into a temporary (scratch) directory to perform mutation testing [1][3]. It uses heuristics similar to standard cargo commands to determine which packages to mutate based on the directory from which the tool is invoked [1][4]. By default: - If run in a workspace root that is a virtual workspace, it will mutate packages defined in the workspace (or specifically those listed in default-members) [1]. - You can explicitly select packages to mutate using the --package or --workspace command-line arguments [1][4]. Handling of Path Dependencies To ensure that dependencies work correctly within the isolated scratch directory, cargo-mutants automatically identifies relative path dependencies defined in the top-level Cargo.toml or.cargo/config.toml [3][4]. If any are found, the tool rewrites these relative paths to absolute paths before running tests in the scratch environment [3][4]. This ensures that the workspace members can correctly locate and build against each other despite being moved from their original file system location [3][5]. Note on Mutation Scope While cargo-mutants copies the entire workspace tree, it typically generates mutants for the selected packages and runs the tests associated with those specific packages to verify the mutants [1][2]. This approach isolates the impact of a mutant to the package it belongs to, improving efficiency and relevance [2]. Top results: [1] [3] [4] [2]

Correct the mutation-scope comment.

vendor/gpui and vendor/gpui-macros are path dependencies, not workspace members. paths: "crates/" limits scheduled change detection. Manual dispatch bypasses detection, but cargo-mutants selects workspace packages, so remove the claims about vendored mutation.

that paths: "crates/" limits scheduled change detection, and remove the claims
that manual runs may mutate vendored code.
