Schema-migration matrix + fuzz harness + RSS budget gate + read-latency
under sync + sync lock regression + tests/heavy convention + nightly CI
workflow + BFS frontier cap on traverseGraph.
CI infra (T1-T7):
- tests/heavy/ directory convention + scripts/run-heavy.sh + bun run test:heavy
- tests/heavy/pg_upgrade_matrix.sh: walk pre-v0.13 + pre-v0.18 brain shapes
forward to head via bootstrap → SCHEMA_SQL → migrations → verifySchema
- test/fuzz/{pure,mixed,filesystem}-validators.test.ts: 1000-run fast-check
property tests across 8 trust-boundary validators
- scripts/check-fuzz-purity.sh: bun-bundle + grep guard, wired into verify
- tests/heavy/measure_rss.sh: in-memory PGLite workload + peak RSS measurement
via /proc/self/status (Linux) or process.memoryUsage().rss fallback (macOS,
refuses to write baseline)
- tests/heavy/read_latency_under_sync.sh: phase A baseline + phase B under
parallel writer load, reports p50/p95/p99 + delta_pct
- tests/heavy/sync_lock_regression.sh: N concurrent gbrain sync against one
DB, asserts 1 winner + N-1 lock-busy + zero leaked gbrain_cycle_locks rows
- .github/workflows/heavy-tests.yml: cron '17 8 * * *' + heavy-tests label
trigger + Postgres service + artifact upload on failure
Engine (T8):
- BrainEngine.traverseGraph opts gain frontierCap?: number + onTruncation?:
(info: TruncationInfo) => void callback. Return shape preserved
(Promise<GraphNode[]>) for MCP wire stability.
- Postgres CTE: parenthesized LIMIT N ORDER BY (slug, id) inside recursive term.
- PGLite: same SQL with positional params.
- Per-call callback closure — not engine-instance state — so concurrent
traversals on the same engine don't cross-talk. 5 contracts pinned in
test/regressions/v0_36_frontier_cap.test.ts.
Three plan-review passes ran before any code: CEO scope review (Approach C),
Eng dual-voice review (Claude subagent + Codex), and Codex 2nd-pass against
the revised plan. The 2nd pass caught issues the first two missed (Bun ESM
vs require.cache; engine-instance metadata stomping under concurrency;
fixture-size inconsistency). All addressed.

tests/heavy/
Heavy ops-shape tests. Shell scripts that exercise gbrain end-to-end against
real infrastructure (Postgres, large fixtures, concurrent processes). Cost
minutes per run; NOT in default bun test.
When to add a script here
Put a test here if it:
- Costs more than ~30s wallclock per run
- Needs real Postgres (not PGLite in-memory)
- Spins up multiple processes or measures concurrency
- Measures system metrics (RSS, latency under load, lock contention)
- Tests an upgrade / migration matrix against committed historical states
When to use *.slow.test.ts instead
Put a slow test in test/ with the .slow.test.ts suffix if it:
- Runs under
bun test(TypeScript, uses bun:test imports) - Is correctness-shaped, not ops-shaped (asserts behavior of one function)
- Can stub external dependencies
The two patterns coexist intentionally. *.slow.test.ts is per-file
correctness for cold paths; tests/heavy/ is ops-shape scripts that don't
fit bun's test runner.
How to run
# Run every script in this directory, sequentially:
bun run test:heavy
# Run a single script:
tests/heavy/<script>.sh
The runner is scripts/run-heavy.sh. It discovers every tests/heavy/*.sh
file at this directory's top level (NOT recursive), runs them in lexical
order, fails on the first non-zero exit.
Naming convention
tests/heavy/<name>.sh— top-level test script, picked up by the runner.tests/heavy/_<name>.sh— library/helper invoked by a sibling test. The leading underscore tells the runner to SKIP this file. Use this pattern for fixture builders, shared setup, anything that needs a required argument or isn't standalone-runnable.tests/heavy/fixtures/<name>— committed input data (SQL, JSON, etc).
CI scheduling
Heavy tests run nightly at 08:17 UTC via .github/workflows/heavy-tests.yml,
and on PRs labeled heavy-tests. They are NOT part of the default PR CI
matrix — that gate stays fast.
Failure output convention
Each script writes a per-run log to ~/.gbrain/audit/heavy-<script>-<ts>.log
containing subprocess stdout/stderr, environment state, and any captured
metrics. The CI workflow uploads these as artifacts on failure for triage
without re-running locally.
Style
#!/usr/bin/env bashset -euo pipefail- Explicit array argv for execs (no
eval, no unquoted globs) - Print a one-line
[<script>] <action>log per major step - Exit non-zero on any failure path; print enough context to diagnose
