The claude_usage i3blocks tests failed on CI while passing locally.
archlinux:base-devel ships no jq, and claude_usage.sh parses its cache
with it, so the block degraded to its "no data" path and every
percentage assertion failed. That degradation is correct at runtime —
the bar should not break because a tool is missing — but it made a
missing dependency look like a logic bug.
Install jq alongside git and strace, and probe for it at the top of the
section so the failure names its own cause. The probe runs jq rather
than calling `command -v`: a jq that exists but cannot execute produces
exactly the same "no data" output as an absent one, and `command -v`
passes in that case — verified by stubbing a jq that exits 127.

The last three exclusions are gone.
test_i3blocks_efficiency.sh only ever needed strace and ptrace. It went
unverified earlier because Docker's bridge network has no DNS on this
machine, so pacman could not install strace; --network=host works, and
the test passes. The job installs strace and adds SYS_PTRACE.
test_hosts_guard_pacman_integration.sh asserted three symbols the
guard-lib refactor renamed (pacman_hooks_manage_hosts_guard ->
pacman_hooks_manage_guard_lib, and similar). The feature was intact;
only the assertions were stale.
test_security_hardening.sh now separates live-host checks from
repository checks. Off-host the live ones skip, so it is green in a
container while still running its repository checks — and on the real
host it still fails loudly when a guard unit is down.
That last part needed care: the first detection attempt used
`systemctl is-system-running`, which exits non-zero on a degraded
system — precisely the state a failed guard unit produces. It masked
all four real failures. Detection now tests for /run/systemd/system
plus the installed guard payload, which unit health does not affect.
Verified: all 8 arch tests pass in a container; the same
security-hardening file still reports 4 failures on this host.
Adds an arch-tests job on archlinux:base-devel so the pacman wrapper,
makepkg wrapper and hosts-guard tests finally run somewhere. They need
an Arch userland and root, which a disposable container provides.
Four more tests still referenced pre-reorganisation paths and could
never find their targets; repairing them took the container set from
two passing to five. All five were verified with --network=none, so
the job installs nothing beyond git (base-devel ships no git, and
actions/checkout needs it).
Also removes the silent-failure mode behind the earlier
music_parallelism confusion. The test now derives its temp-worktree
path from the script's real position instead of hardcoding the depth,
checks up front that ../../lib/common.sh resolves to the stub, and has
the stub write a marker asserted after every run. Previously a
reorganisation made the script source the real
/usr/local/lib/common.sh, so the test measured the live system and
failed as though the daemon were broken.
Three tests stay out, each for a different reason, documented in the
workflow: test_i3blocks_efficiency.sh needs strace and could not be
verified locally (containers here have no DNS);
test_hosts_guard_pacman_integration.sh fails a real assertion worth
investigating; test_security_hardening.sh asserts live host state and
can never pass in a fresh container.
Both tests excluded from CI last commit turned out to be stale rather
than catching regressions. Neither covered script needed changing.
test_music_parallelism.sh built its temp worktree at
scripts/digital_wellbeing/, but music_parallelism.sh resolves its
library as $SCRIPT_DIR/../../lib/common.sh — two levels up, correct
for the real scripts/periodic_background/digital_wellbeing/ location.
From the shallower path that resolved outside the worktree, so the
stubbed common.sh was never sourced and the script fell through to the
real /usr/local/lib/common.sh on the machine. The test was exercising
the live library and ignoring its own MOCK_FOCUS_ACTIVE, which is why
idle mode looked like it waited 15s instead of 30s. The daemon was
correct all along.
test_usage_monitoring_installer_efficiency.sh demanded a literal
'sleep 60'. The logger template no longer polls: it sleeps once until
midnight via seconds_until_next_day, then blocks on wait for the pmon
child — strictly fewer wakeups than the assertion required. Replaced
with assertions on that property so a return to polling still fails.
Allowlist extended from four tests to six.
The shell tests under linux_configuration/tests/ never ran anywhere:
no workflow executed them, so they rotted silently. Three referenced
script paths that moved under scripts/periodic_background/ in an
earlier reorganisation, and test_android_guardian_service.sh created
its temp worktree at a different path from the one it copied into, so
its cp could never succeed.
The new workflow runs the bats suites plus an explicit allowlist of
side-effect-free tests. Roughly eight others drive pacman, /etc,
systemd or adb and need root plus an Arch container, so they stay out.
Repairing the paths uncovered two genuine failures, deliberately left
out of the allowlist because they look like real regressions in the
scripts they cover rather than stale assertions:
- test_music_parallelism.sh expects idle mode to wait
IDLE_CHECK_INTERVAL (30s); the daemon waits 15s, so it wakes twice
as often as intended when idle.
- test_usage_monitoring_installer_efficiency.sh expects the logger
template to sleep between day-rollover checks.
Both need a fix in the covered scripts, not in the tests.
