ci: run a scaffolded project's tests from the built wheel - #1127
Conversation
Every existing scaffold e2e test runs the generated project's suite against this checkout's easycat, imported from src/ via the dev venv's easycat.pth -- never proving the app can import and test itself from a real wheel install outside the source tree, with the agent SDK present. Add tests/_wheel_build.py (a shared build_wheel() helper extracted from tests/cli/test_packaging.py's built_wheel fixture, which becomes a two-line wrapper around it) and tests/cli/e2e/test_generated_project_wheel.py, an integration_external suite that builds the wheel, installs easycat[openai-agents] from it into a throwaway venv outside the checkout, scaffolds an openai-agents project there, and proves: no [tool.uv.sources] pin back to this repo, import starts nothing (netguard-canaried), the generated tests pass with the SDK present and outbound traffic blocked (both the "nothing skipped" and the exact-nodeid "1 passed" proofs), and four seeded wiring/tool breaks each fail their expected generated test. This file needs no automated lane -- integration_external is deselected everywhere -- it exists for a maintainer to reproduce the new CI job locally in one command.

Neither continuously-running lane executes a generated project's
SDK-bound wiring test: every lane syncs `--group dev` only, so
`importorskip("agents")` always skips, and the only lane with the SDK
installed (release-validation.yml) triggers on workflow_dispatch or a
release tag, never on a PR.
Add a new ci.yml job, generated-app-smoke, that runs in parallel with
no needs: dependency, on the existing push/pull_request triggers. It
builds the wheel, installs easycat[openai-agents] from it into a
throwaway venv under $RUNNER_TEMP (outside the workspace), scaffolds an
openai-agents project, imports it under the netguard (canaried first),
runs its tests with an ambient credential and outbound traffic blocked
(asserting no skip and, by exact nodeid, that the wiring test reports
"1 passed"), then seeds a broken tool and asserts the generated suite
catches it.
Extend release-validation.yml's existing wheel-smoke step with the same
scaffold/import/test/seeded-break sequence, since that job's venv
already has the SDK installed -- this is the release-time peer, not a
substitute for the continuous job.
Document the reproduction path in CONTRIBUTING.md as prose (not a
`## Validation slices` table row: those two tables are tested against
`easycat validate`'s public CLI lanes, and this is a CI job plus a
pytest marker, not a validate lane).

Review round 1 on DX3-3. Every finding was a way the new "proof" could
report success while proving nothing.
* `ci.yml`: the whole-suite run pipes pytest into `tee`, and GitHub's
default step shell is `bash -e {0}` -- errexit without pipefail -- so a
failing generated suite left the pipeline status at tee's 0 and the job
green. `set -o pipefail` now leads that `run:` block, matching
`nightly-validation.yml`. This was the only continuous lane the A1/A2/A3
acceptance sentences depend on, and it could not fail.
* `tests/test_generated_app_smoke_lane.py` (new): nothing in the suite read
the `generated-app-smoke` job, so it could be gutted or deleted with every
test still green. Pins its triggers, the wheel-plus-extra install into a
venv outside the workspace, the canaried network guard and its marker
grep, `set -o pipefail` before the `tee`, both the negative ("nothing
skipped") and positive ("1 passed" on the exact nodeid) checks, and the
seeded break -- plus the release-time peer's marker grep. Same
workflow-text pinning `tests/test_dependency_policy.py` already applies.
* `_assert_netguard_is_loaded` takes the interpreter to canary, defaulting
to `sys.executable`. The wheel e2e module canaried the dev venv's
interpreter and then ran the generated suite under the *app venv's*,
so `test_generated_project_offline_tests_pass_from_the_wheel` passed
identically with no guard active -- the exact silent failure the canary
exists to prevent. Loading `sitecustomize` is per-interpreter.
* `release-validation.yml`: the release-time canary asserted only that the
connection failed, so an egress-restricted runner or a DNS failure read as
an active guard. It now captures stderr and greps the guard's marker, as
`ci.yml` already did.
* `tests/cli/e2e/test_generated_project_wheel.py`: the module-scoped
`app_venv` fixture (wheel build, `uv venv`, SDK install) is charged to the
first test item, which the repo-wide `timeout = 60` covers and the thread
method aborts -- on a cold uv cache the reproduction tool died with a
process abort instead of a result. Adds `pytest.mark.timeout(900)` and an
explicit `timeout=` on every subprocess. `build_wheel(..., strict=True)`
makes a broken build fail this module instead of skipping the rehearsal it
exists to run.
* `test_netguard_marker_string_matches_the_shared_file` moves to
`test_scaffold_smoke.py`: it is a pure string comparison that inherited
`integration_external` plus a skip-without-uv-and-PyPI fixture, so the
"canary of the canary" ran in no lane and needed network to run at all.
* `tests/_wheel_build.py` grows `project_root()` and `build_dist(kind=...)`,
so `test_packaging.py`'s `built_sdist` stops re-implementing the root walk
and the `uv build` call the extraction was meant to consolidate.
* `tests/cli/TEST_PLANS.md`: Plan 17 now names the wheel module, and the
marker sentence no longer claims Plans 16-17 are all `integration_local`.

Keep the seeded-failure run offline.
The current generated tests use ScriptedReasoning and do not contact a provider. Line 158 still inherits the live OPENAI_API_KEY and omits the outbound-network guard. Apply both controls to prevent future generated tests or dependencies from using the credential or opening network connections.

Replace blocking build I/O with an async implementation.
subprocess.run() can block the test runner for up to 600 seconds. Use asyncio.create_subprocess_exec() with an async timeout, then update the fixtures that consume build_dist().
As per coding guidelines, “Use async-first APIs: all I/O is asynchronous.”

Problem
PR1/PR2 in this workstream prove import-safety statically (AST) and the offline/tool-behavior tests dynamically, but always inside this checkout, with an interpreter that has no agent-framework SDK installed (
uv sync --group devnever adds it). That leaves two of the plan's acceptance sentences unproven by any continuously-running lane: "a generated project runs offline tests outside this checkout" and "intentionally breaking a tested behavior fails its generated test" — both only when the SDK is actually present, which is the situation every real user is in. The only existing lane with the SDK installed (release-validation.yml) triggers on a release tag or manual dispatch, never on a PR.Change
ci.ymljobgenerated-app-smoke(push + PR, parallel, noneeds:): builds the wheel, installseasycat[openai-agents]from it into a throwaway venv under$RUNNER_TEMP(outside the workspace), scaffolds anopenai-agentsproject there, imports it under a canaried outbound-network guard (proving import starts nothing), runs its generated tests with an ambient credential and blocked provider traffic (asserting no skip, and by exact nodeid that the SDK-bound wiring test reports "1 passed"), then seeds a broken tool and asserts the generated suite catches it. This is the only continuously-running lane that ever exercises theimportorskip("agents")half of a generated test.release-validation.yml's existing wheel-smoke step with the same scaffold → import-guard → test → seeded-break sequence, since that venv already has the SDK. This is the release-time peer, not a substitute for the PR-time job.tests/cli/e2e/test_generated_project_wheel.py(integration_external, deselected everywhere by default): a local, maintainer-run reproduction of the CI job — builds the wheel, installs into a venv, scaffolds outside the checkout, and asserts: no[tool.uv.sources]pin back to this repo, guarded import, the SDK-bound test actually passes (not just "doesn't skip"), and four independent seeded breaks (drop_tool,rename_agent,break_tool_format,break_app_config) each fail their expected generated test.tests/_wheel_build.py: extracted the wheel-build subprocess call out oftests/cli/test_packaging.py'sbuilt_wheelfixture, generalized tobuild_dist(dest, *, kind: Literal["wheel","sdist"], strict=False)withbuild_wheel/build_sdistwrappers and a publicproject_root(), so both suites share one implementation andtest_packaging.py's duplicate root-walk and build invocation are removed.CONTRIBUTING.md: one prose paragraph in "The development loop" section naming the automated lane and the local reproduction command (see Boundaries below for why it's prose, not a validation-lane table row).set -o pipefailadded to thegenerated-app-smokestep (GitHub's defaultbash -e {0}has no pipefail, so a failing generated suite piped intoteehad left the job green); newtests/test_generated_app_smoke_lane.pypins the job's triggers, install steps, guard, and assertions so the lane can't be silently gutted; the local rehearsal's network-guard canary now runs under the app venv's own interpreter (was checking the dev venv, so the "provider traffic blocked" half of A2 was unverified);release-validation.yml's canary now greps the guard's marker instead of only checking the connection failed; the wheel-build fixture gainedpytest.mark.timeout(900)plus explicit subprocess timeouts and astrict=Truemode so a cold cache or broken build fails loudly instead of being killed or silently skipped;test_netguard_marker_string_matches_the_shared_filemoved totests/cli/e2e/test_scaffold_smoke.pyso it actually runs in a lane;tests/cli/TEST_PLANS.mdupdated to describe both e2e modules accurately.Boundaries
Out of scope: no production code (
src/) changed. No new dependency, extra, oruv syncinvocation added to any existing job — the SDK is installed only into throwaway venvs the new job/test build themselves.release.ymland branch-protection settings are untouched (addinggenerated-app-smoketo required checks is a maintainer follow-up outside this PR). Templates beyondopenai-agentsand the optional CI matrix dimension are PR2's concern, not this one.Builds on DX3-1, which merged to main as #1120; this branch was rebased onto main (originally pushed as dx3/generated-project-wheel-smoke, republished as dx3/wheel-smoke-lane so no force-push was needed). This PR is part of the DX milestone from plan/roadmap/2026-09-05-next-level-developer-experience.md, DX3 slice DX3-3.
Recorded deviations from the design:
tools=[function_tool(current_time)]inline; therename_agentseed rewrites the wholeAgent(name=..., ...)call rather than just anAGENT_NAMEconstant, because the generated test importsAGENT_NAMEfrom the same module the constant lives in) — this is the design's own documented fallback for exactly this case, not an improvisation.## Validation slicestable: that table's two sub-tables are tested against the publiceasycat validateCLI's lane list, and a CI job +integration_externalpytest marker isn't a validate lane. Putting it there would either failtest_contributing_validation_chooser_tracks_slice_commandsor mislabel the reproduction command.generated-app-smoke— the design explicitly marks it optional and conditions it on PR2 landing, which is out of this PR's boundary.Two things a reader will otherwise assume wrongly:
release-validation.ymlfires on a release tag orworkflow_dispatch, never on a PR; andtests/cli/e2e/test_generated_project_wheel.pyisintegration_external, selected by nothing automatic — the defaultaddopts, everyjust guard-*recipe andci.ymlall deselect it. It is a maintainer reproduction tool; theci.ymljob is the gate.Still needed from a maintainer (per DX3 §4.3–§4.5, not a code change): add
generated-app-smoketomain's required status checks (adding a job does not make it required — until this happens it runs and reports but does not block); and record the first greengenerated-app-smokerun link and its wall-clock duration in this PR's history once CI has run on it.Review
Three lenses (correctness, plan-compliance, test-quality) all requested changes in the initial pass: 1 blocking, up to 3 major/minor findings each. One fix round addressed all of them:
pipefail(a failing generated suite piped intoteeleft the job green under GitHub's default shell), fixed the release-time canary to grep the guard marker instead of just checking connection failure, and fixed the wheel-build fixture to fail loudly (viastrict=True) instead of silently skipping on a broken build.tests/cli/TEST_PLANS.md's description of the two e2e modules' lane membership.tests/test_generated_app_smoke_lane.pyto pin the CI job's shape so it can't be silently gutted; addedpytest.mark.timeout(900)plus explicit subprocess timeouts so a cold cache fails the rehearsal instead of being killed by the repo-wide 60s test timeout; relocatedtest_netguard_marker_string_matches_the_shared_fileinto a lane that actually runs it; deduplicated the wheel-build helper betweentests/_wheel_build.pyandtests/cli/test_packaging.py.No findings were rejected outright; one item (recording the first green CI run's link and duration, and flagging branch-protection as a maintainer follow-up) was deferred as non-code-change work that can only happen once this PR exists and CI has run — captured above under Boundaries instead.
