Coverage Harness Design
When to use
Restoring verified 100 percent coverage from coverage/lcov.info or scripts/check-coverage.ts.
Covering protocol parsing, OpenAPI or AsyncAPI schema branches, conformance harness output, shutdown, or observability helpers.
Covering workflow visibility indexes, aggregate distinct-key caps, failure-category query aliases, backfill watermarks, or Bun SQLite smoke paths.
Covering event-log compaction watermark verification, Worker replay signatures, Worker protocol guards, payload-size admission, or post-build distribution guards.
Covering coverage-runner allowance validation, including duplicate keys, cross-layer-shadowed keys, and dead allowances for paths excluded by coveragePathIgnorePatterns.
Covering CLI output/error paths that moved coverage because of current-branch instrumentation gaps, such as api, server, workflow, tail, version, completions, and output helper regressions.
Covering callback creator bundles whose wrappers delegate to cleanup handlers, including time-operation and stream cleanup-error paths that coverage may miss until invoked directly.
Covering .test-support.ts harness modules whose consumers execute the behavior but Bun reports nested callback or unnamed-function misses.
Restoring coverage after feature work by adding focused regressions for real edge paths before touching allowances, such as LocalClient.startOrSignal, start-body helpers, fair-share counters, pre-ready health, TLS server config, cleanup timers, workflow handle cache replacement, corrupt serializer payloads, MCP list filters, and bulk-delete terminal revalidation.
Restoring coverage for session state, startOrSignal, schedules, and parity wait helpers by driving real helper behavior first, then deleting stale production branches or allowance entries only when tests prove they are dead.
Fixing scripts/check-coverage.ts path filtering for Bun-generated temporary workflow fixtures, especially when coverage runs from deep git worktrees that record private/tmp/ or tmp/ paths with more ../ segments.
Restoring retry/checkpoint coverage around run-operation by proving corrupt persisted retry attempts or sleep counts fail, missing retry policies on replay fail, non-Error failures still honor nonRetryableErrors, and retry-to-sleep-to-success paths checkpoint correctly.
Restoring schedule, task-polling, worker replay, or interceptor coverage by driving schedule spec/options validation, malformed schedule-record decoding, invalid create-schedule jitter, post-taskResult persistence-failure logging, worker getVersion() replay, or omitted interceptor context.
Restoring coverage for parallel-operation caches, activity reconciliation, callback checkpoint persistence, or coverage allowance refresh entries.
Restoring async activity completion coverage around acknowledgement CAS loss, durable token preservation, malformed persisted resolution outcomes, or recovery-buffer admission.
Restoring runtime coverage around worker socket lifecycle and result-resolution diagnostics, including stale same-workerId socket closes and post-taskResult storage failures.
Restoring engine lifecycle leak-warning coverage around test-only finalizer collection counters.
Covering inline parking regressions where a workflow waiting on waitForSignal() replays, resumes, or serves ctx.onQuery() from a retained context.
Covering ctx.race() / ctx.all() sleep, wait-signal, and activity branches, including nested deferred-consume envelopes, losing ctx.run() activity aborts, ctx.speculate finalization, duplicate signal-name rejection, and long sleep disposal.
Covering durable operation helpers such as getVersion(), sleep(), and review(), including cached replay mismatch guards and explain-mode logging paths that normal workflow drives may not hit.
Editing coverage orchestration itself, especially when a failing child coverage process could be accidentally masked.
Deciding whether a coverage allowance is justified.
Building a structural test double to reach a branch hidden by normal constructors or registries.
Do not use
Adding tests without a concrete uncovered branch or behavior risk.
Hiding reachable production code with coverage ignores.
Changing production behavior only to make instrumentation easier.
Workflow
Start from fresh LCOV output and identify the exact uncovered file, line, function, or branch.
Decide whether the branch is reachable, dead, generated, or race-only before editing source.
Prefer focused regression tests that prove a real invariant, such as malformed async-activity JSON shaping, client-contract helper behavior, or conformance error formatting.
For codegen and doctest work, pin both successful output and failure behavior: byte-stable .d.ts fixtures, strict typecheck consumers, invalid snapshot diagnostics, and malformed skip-count files.
For durability suites, assert all-or-nothing storage outcomes instead of assuming a kill lands before commit; validate close/reopen persistence before constructing the second engine.
For worker fault-injection clients, buffer frames that arrive between awaits and drain subprocess output on early exit so marker-based diagnostics do not lie under CI timing.
For workflow visibility coverage, prove both indexed and fallback paths when relevant; include conflict/drop behavior for backfills and cap failures for aggregates instead of only testing happy-path lists.
Use structural test doubles when normal builders enforce invariants that prevent exercising the target branch.
Keep allowlist entries narrow, documented, and removable; remove stale allowances when coverage becomes real.
For support-module instrumentation gaps, first add direct helper tests or fix the fake harness semantics. Only then add function-only allowances that name the Bun instrumentation limitation and leave line/branch coverage strict.
Remove stale allowances for deleted files immediately; absence from LCOV is not evidence that an allowance is still useful.
For test-only helper moves, keep helpers in .test-support.ts or another build-excluded shape, then run bun run build so the dist guard proves bun:test, fake-indexeddb, and jsdom did not leak into published files.
When the coverage runner launches a child process, test the non-zero exit path and assert checkCoverage() returns false immediately enough that failing tests cannot be hidden by a complete-looking LCOV file.
Keep the current single-pass coverage shape intact unless a test proves a better split: one Bun coverage run writes coverage/lcov.info, and the checker should fail fast when that run exits non-zero.
For line-keyed allowances after cleanup PRs, re-derive the LCOV lines from a fresh coverage/lcov.info; do not shift allowance numbers by inspection alone.
For Bun anonymous-function instrumentation drift in callback-heavy test-support modules, prefer direct helper tests first and document any residual function-only allowance as instrumentation drift, not unreachable behavior.
For callback bundle coverage, prefer a focused test that calls the created wrapper and asserts the delegated cleanup handler receives the same error over an allowance for a reachable delegator.
For coverage-restoration-only pull requests, classify each miss before editing allowances: add direct behavior tests for reachable code, use structural doubles for otherwise hidden branches, and update line-keyed allowances only after a fresh coverage/lcov.info proves the residual miss is Bun reporting drift.
For server runtime worker coverage, assert externally visible diagnostics and ownership effects: stale socket close should warn, avoid requeue, and preserve the fresh socket; post-taskResult storage failure should emit the in-flight-leak error. Only then adjust an allowance for a residual unreachable exhaustiveness branch proven by fresh LCOV.
For engine lifecycle leak-warning coverage, keep assertions in src/core/engine-lifecycle-ergonomics.test.ts. Use the existing finalizer leak-warning harness, drive the disabled warning gate synchronously, and assert getEngineLeakCollectionCountForTesting() before adding or moving an allowance.
For load-sensitive tests, replace fixed sleeps with condition-based synchronization first. Add a file to LOAD_SENSITIVE_TEST_PATHS only when the real-time invariant cannot be made load-robust, after splitting the case into its own file and keeping the list ceiling assertion explicit.
For retry-state coverage, drive the persisted-state edge rather than asserting the helper directly when possible; only expose ForTesting helpers when the branch is otherwise unreachable through a real workflow drive.
For inline parking coverage, prefer a real workflow that parks on waitForSignal(), queries while parked, resumes to a second park, and proves replay failure handling instead of only inspecting parked-context maps.
For race/all branch coverage, drive real workflows through top-level and nested coordinators before adding helper-level assertions. Prove losing signal branches do not consume sig: records, losing ctx.run() branches see an aborted ActivityContext.signal when a sibling wins, winning branches checkpoint encoded values, and ctx.all waits for all finalizers before throwing.
For ctx.runAll() cache coverage, assert both fully fulfilled cache reconstruction and partial cache re-yielding so replay topology failures do not hide behind helper-only assertions.
For activity reconciliation coverage, prefer malformed persisted records, verifier-normalization rejection, and structural storage doubles that force claim or fenced-write conflicts over allowances for reachable ownership branches.
For callback checkpoint persistence coverage, drive the callback through a live engine and assert the durable workflow state, including history.maxEvents circuit-breaker termination, instead of only awaiting a handle-level error.
For schedule and startOrSignal coverage, prove real lifecycle edges: cancelled schedules cannot resume, cleanup-error callbacks report failures, buffered-signal races converge on one winner, and plain storage batch failures do not masquerade as idempotent success.
For coverage artifact filters, require both a generalized temporary-root prefix and the known generated-fixture filename pattern; add negative tests proving unrelated files under tmp/ still count as uncovered.
For coverage allowance edits, test duplicate allowance keys and cross-layer-shadowed keys explicitly so one broad production allowance cannot hide a narrower source/test allowance; delete duplicate current-branch refresh entries when fresh LCOV proves the branch-level allowance is stale.
For coverage ignore-pattern integration, read coveragePathIgnorePatterns from bunfig.toml as the source of truth and reject allowances for files the coverage runner never instruments.
For resolveDefaultStorage() coverage, inject runtime globals instead of mutating globalThis, and assert the selected adapter receives the same WebExtension namespace or IndexedDB globals used during detection.
For schedule and worker seam coverage, add focused assertions for public validation and replay behavior first: malformed schedule records should decode safely, invalid jitter should surface as a create-schedule input error, worker getVersion() replay should cover missing and cached replay state, interceptor context should stay omitted when no signal or tokens exist, and task-result persistence failures should emit the operator-facing leak diagnostic.
For async activity completion coverage, assert the durable token record survives acknowledgement precondition loss under ownership: 'lease', and assert malformed persisted resolution outcomes are dropped during recovery instead of being buffered for workflow adoption.
Verification
Run bun run scripts/check-coverage.ts; it clears stale coverage, runs one Bun coverage pass, parses coverage/lcov.info, applies explicit allowances, and enforces adjusted 100 percent line and function coverage.
For changes to the coverage runner itself, also run the focused scripts/check-coverage.test.ts tests that cover coverage-process failure, LCOV parsing, and allowance handling.
For engine lifecycle leak-warning coverage, run bun test src/core/engine-lifecycle-ergonomics.test.ts before the coverage gate.
For feature-adjacent coverage restoration, run the focused tests that exercise the newly covered behavior before bun run scripts/check-coverage.ts, so the coverage gate is not the only proof that the assertion is meaningful.
For retry-state coverage, run bun test src/core/context/run-operation.test.ts before the coverage gate.
For schedule and worker seam coverage, run bun test src/core/schedule.test.ts src/server/operations/create-schedule.test.ts src/server/runtime/task-polling.characterization.test.ts src/worker/execute-with-interceptors.test.ts src/workers/workflow-runner-log.test.ts before the coverage gate.
For parallel-cache, reconciliation, and callback checkpoint persistence coverage, run bun test src/core/context.test.ts src/core/engine/activity-reconciliation.test.ts src/core/engine/callback-checkpoint-persistence.test.ts src/core/engine/checkpoint-io.test.ts before the coverage gate.
For async activity completion coverage, run bun test src/core/async-activity-completion.test.ts src/core/engine/async-activity-completion-recovery.test.ts before the coverage gate.
For inline parking coverage, run bun test src/core/engine/inline-parking.test.ts src/core/engine.test.ts src/core/engine/suspend-resume.test.ts before the coverage gate.
For race/all branch coverage, run bun test src/core/engine/race-branches.test.ts src/core/engine/operations-coordination.test.ts src/core/crash-recovery.test.ts before the coverage gate.
For durable operation helper coverage, run bun test src/core/context/durable-operations.test.ts before the coverage gate.
For session-state, schedule, and startOrSignal coverage, run bun test src/core/session-state-helpers.test.ts src/core/schedule.test.ts src/core/engine/start-or-signal.test.ts src/core/engine/callback-creators.test.ts src/core/parity/real-timer-wait.test-support.test.ts before the coverage gate.
When editing the test-sleep verifier or load-sensitive list, run bun test scripts/verify-no-test-sleeps.test.ts scripts/husky/run-tests.test.ts and bun run scripts/verify-no-test-sleeps.ts.
Run broader validation only when the coverage fix also changes production code, public APIs, or documentation.
